Chapter 393 - 393 393 Debt Repayment

?Chapter 393: Chapter 393 Debt Repayment Chapter 393: Chapter 393 Debt Repayment Who would’ve known Bai Mei had such crooked thoughts.

Through whispers and rumors, Fang Xiaoshan learned that Bai Mei was getting cozy with an outsider who often came to their village to collect local products. Initially, Xiaoshan didn’t believe it, confident in his control over her; Bai Mei would have to wish for death to be daring enough to hook up with someone else.

Wasn’t she afraid he’d beat her to death?

Moreover, with her dead fish-like demeanor, who would take an interest in her?

But the villagers’ gossip grew uglier, and some claimed they saw Bai Mei sneaking into the cornfields with that man, describing the scene so vividly it was as if they were right there watching. Xiaoshan couldn’t hold back any longer, especially since he had recently accumulated a mountain of debt and was being hounded by his creditors to the point where he saw no way out either in heaven or on earth. So, he decided to go for broke and struck a deal with a creditor, offering up Bai Mei to pay off his debts. After all, he owed a lot of money and couldn’t possibly pay it back, but the creditor even agreed to give him an extra five hundred yuan.

He couldn’t care less whether Bai Mei lived or died once at others’ hands; his suffering days would finally be over. Bai Mei, a hen that laid no eggs, was not worth his distress. In the worst case, he could simply find another wife.

He had everything planned out perfectly, anticipating that once Bai Mei was taken away, he would storm into the Bai family’s home creating a scene, demanding they cough up the bride price. This way, he would get his cut from both ends without losing a dime.

Therefore, when he returned home, Xiaoshan even bought wine and dishes, intending to treat Bai Mei well one last time as husband and wife.

But as soon as he mentioned the debt, Bai Mei panicked.

She pointed at his nose, calling him a wimp, a rotten gambler! A non-man who couldn’t support a family and even pressured his own wife to pay off his debts. Her insults were venomous, so sharp that they hit Xiaoshan right in the heart. Unable to contain himself, a physical fight broke out between them. For Xiao Shan’s misfortune, he underestimated her, thinking she would never dare to fight back as before.

But this time, Bai Mei was desperate.

He was going to sell her, and of course, Bai Mei wouldn’t stand for it.

Falling into the hands of those usurers would be a terrible fate, and she wasn’t a fool. She had been mingling with Zhao Deshun, the merchandise collector, and was not uninformed about the kinds of lives some women led outside. She knew all too well that those bastards weren’t spending big bucks to take her in for nothing, so she was certain that nothing good awaited her. Instead of facing that, why not elope with Zhao Deshun? After all, he had been persuading her to run away with him every day, and this was the perfect opportunity.

So, Bai Mei grabbed a fire poker and struck Xiaoshan on the head, knocking him out cold, rendering him unconscious for a full day and night.

Xiaoshan being knocked out wasn’t the main issue.

But Bai Mei also took the five hundred yuan he had just obtained and not yet spent. She went to the elderly master and mistress claiming that Xiaoshan was ill and needed to see a doctor, suggesting they needed some money. When the elders visited him, they found him truly unconscious and were terrified, so they gave Bai Mei a hundred yuan to fetch a doctor, not knowing that she would vanish without a trace.

As soon as Xiaoshan came to, he knew something terrible had happened.

Bai Mei had run off without a trace, taking with her the five hundred yuan he had received. Now that his wife was gone, how was he supposed to survive?

Of course, Xiaoshan could not let it go. In a rush, he brought along the usurers and headed straight to the Bai family’s home, convinced that Bai Mei had no other place to go and must have returned to her parent’s house.

If he failed to bring her back, he was certain he wouldn’t survive.

And so this drama unfolded.

Little did he know that Bai Mei hadn’t gone back to her family’s home at all.
