Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 187

Chapter 187: Han Yuluo’s Decision ( 1 )
“Grandma Huang, your words are too harsh. Although she did trouble Ling Yun, she has never been entangled with other men.” A young man said with a frown.

“Ha! Do you think I don’t know what you are thinking? You are lusting after her body, that’s why you protect her. Wipe off your saliva before speaking.” Grandma Huang said without giving the young man any face.

“You!” The young man was speechless due to anger and embarrassment, for his intentions were known to all.

While the villagers were engaged in a heated discussion, Sheng Xiaohong couldn’t hear anything. She returned to her home in a daze. When she walked into the front yard, she saw Xiaohua playing in the mud. Seeing her dirty look, anger rushed into her heart. She strode over and roughly pulled Xiaohua up.

Xiaohua was startled when she was suddenly pulled hard. When she looked up, she was petrified when she saw her mother’s terrifying expression. Although she is still a child, she clearly knows who likes her and who hates her. Her mother is the person who hates her the most. Whenever her mother looked at her, the hatred, anger, disgust, and disdain in her eyes were clearly visible.

Xiaohua felt the pain in her arm and said tremblingly, “Mother…it hurts. Can you please let me go?”

Hearing her plea, Sheng Xiaohong became even more angry. She raised her hand, slapped her hard, and shouted, “It’s all your fault! It’s because of you and your dead father that Ling Yun hates me! Bitch, you should die with your father!”

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Xiaohua felt her cheeks burning when her mother’s palm fell on her face again and again. After several slaps, her pale face became red and swollen. The corner of her lip was torn and blood dripped down. The slap made her dizzy and her ears buzzed.

“Mother, I’m sorry… Xiaohua is wrong… Please don’t hit Xiaohua again.” Xiaohua begged, but she didn’t dare to resist the beating. Because the more she resisted, the harder the beating became.

Sheng Xiaohong vented her anger for a while, threw Xiaohua to the ground like a rag doll, and said, “You’d better not let me see you again. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you. Get lost!”

After she finished speaking, Sheng Xiaohong entered the house and closed the door with a bang.

Xiaohua lay on the ground crying. She didn’t know what she had done wrong for her mother to beat her like this. She clearly listens to her mother’s every word, eats less, and takes care of all the housework. But why does her mother still hate her so much?

After lying on the ground for a long time, Xiaohua finally got some strength and pushed herself up from the ground. Her ears were still buzzing and her eyes were blurry. Tears and snot stained her swollen, bruised face as she walked out the door. At this moment, she wished she could go with her father. She doesn’t want to be with her mother anymore.

“Wuwuwu… Father… where are you? Xiaohua is scared…” She sobbed as she walked.

When the villagers saw her swollen and purple face and knew that she had been beaten again, they all felt sorry for Xiaohua. But no one has the extra food and energy to take care of other people’s children. So they just shook their heads and sighed, but said or did nothing. They didn’t even dare to ask about her situation, for fear that she would refuse to leave after they helped her.

The children were so frightened that they screamed when they saw Xiaohua. They pointed at her and shouted, “Monster! There is a monster!”

Xiaohua was stunned by their words. When she realized that they were talking about her, grievance, fear, and sadness burst out from the bottom of her heart, and she burst into tears.

“Waaa!!! Xiaohua is not a monster!!” Her words were slurred due to the injuries on her face.

The children heard her screams and muffled words, and ran and shouted, “Monster! Xiaohua is a monster!”

Han Yuluo heard the shout and came over. The moment he saw Xiaohua, his eyes widened in shock. He quickly walked over, held her shoulders, and asked, “Xiaohua, what happened? Tell uncle who hit you?”

Xiaohua opened her red and swollen eyes and found that it was her father’s paternal cousin. She threw herself into Han Yuluo’s arms and cried, “Waaa…!! Uncle Yuluo, Xiaohua doesn’t want mother anymore! Xiaohua doesn’t want to go back! Xiaohua wants my father!!”

Hearing her words, Han Yuluo’s eyes darkened. He hugged her, patted her back, and asked, “Is it your mother who hit you?”

Xiaohua nodded and buried her face in his chest. Han Yuluo was angry and distressed at the same time. His cousin died early, leaving only a daughter. As the only child of her father, Xiaohua should be taken care of by her paternal family. However, because she was a girl and not a boy, she was rejected by her paternal grandparents.

What’s more, the moment her father died, her grandparents decided to separate them from the family. Therefore, she can only live with her mother. As a woman, Sheng Xiaohong does not earn many work points. So it was really hard for her to raise her children alone.

That’s why, since the death of his cousin, Han Yuluo has sent some money to Sheng Xiaohong every month. Therefore, he always thought that his niece could still have enough food even if she didn’t have a full belly. He didn’t expect Sheng Xiaohong to be so cruel to his daughter.

“Xiaohua, uncle will take you back.” He said.

“No, Xiaohua doesn’t want to go back! Mother said she would hit Xiaohua every time she saw Xiaohua.”

Seeing her scared look, Han Yuluo could only take her back to his home. He hugged her and returned to Xie village in anger. If he hadn’t wanted to visit Xiaohua before returning to the county town, he might not have known that his niece was beaten so badly by her own mother!
