Chapter 6 — The Wife I Rescued In The Snow

Hua Huong Quan's face completely turned cold.

“It's a good thing for a young person to have courage.”

He spoke slowly.

“But courage cannot replace food.”

“Do you know what you will lose because of your so-called spirit?”

“I don't know what I'll lose.”

I met his eyes.

“But I know, if I receive this money today, I will lose myself.”

“Okay, very good.”

Hua Huong Quan nodded, a smile appeared on his face. But that smile was colder than ice.

“If you refused to drink the wine offered to you and want to drink the wine as punishment, then let's just follow the rules.”

He turned his head and said to the man dressed as an officer:

“Little King, go call the village chief and commune leader here.”

“Let's just say that someone here intentionally kidnapped and illegally detained the daughter of the provincial leader.”

The man in the officer's uniform was stunned, then immediately stood at attention.

“Okay!”

“Father!”

Hua Thanh Chi finally spoke, her voice carrying despair and pleading.

“This has nothing to do with him!”

“It was me who refused to return!”

“Shut up!”

Hua Huong Quan shouted.

“It's not your turn to speak up here!”

“I left home for six years, ruined the family, and had an unclear affair with a country man.”

"The Hua family's dignity has been ruined by you!"

He pointed at me and said to Hua Thanh Chi:

“Today I will let you see clearly, this is the man you chose!”

“A useless person who can't even protect himself!”

No matter how stupid I am, I know that as long as he wants, these two crimes are enough to send me to prison, unable to raise my head for the rest of my life. The way the people in the village looked at me changed. From jealousy to fear and contempt. They started whispering.

“It turned out to be kidnapping…”

"I told you, how could a city girl look right at him?"

“It is true that knowing the face does not know the heart.”

Those words were like needles piercing my ears. I looked at Hua Tue. She kept shaking her head, tears falling like a broken string of pearls. I smiled at her. The smile is very unsightly.

“Don't be afraid.”

I said. Then I turned around and looked at Hua Huong Quan.

“I'll go with you.”

I said.

“Go to the commune, go to the district, go anywhere.”

“As long as you let her go, don't continue to force her.”

I thought that if I took it all on myself, I could give her a good future. I was too naive.

Hua Huong Quan looked at me and said nothing. The man wearing an officer's uniform next to him smiled coldly.

“You think very well.”

“Do you think you can handle this alone?”

He walked in front of me and poked my chest with his finger.

“Abducting women is a serious crime!”

“Not only do you have to go to jail, this village that covers and tolerates you cannot escape being involved!”

“And you.”

He pointed towards the village chief in the crowd.

"If you're the village chief but don't report it if you know about it, the crime is even worse!"

The village chief immediately fell to the ground. His face was pale and his sweat was flowing like rain. The villagers also rioted.

“It has nothing to do with us! We don't know anything!”

"It was all done by Tham Son alone! Arrest him! Arrest him!"

"That's right! We are also victims! We were deceived by him for six years!”

The people who were just chatting in low voices have now turned into angry people, loudly denouncing me to clearly define their boundaries with me. They surrounded me, pointed at my nose and cursed. Human nature at this moment revealed its ugliest side. I don't look at them. I just looked at Hua Tue. She stood there, like a statue of despair. She looked at the neighbors who used to laugh and talk to her, used to eat her pickles, and in the blink of an eye, their faces changed.

“That's enough.”

She spoke up. The voice wasn't loud, but it immediately silenced everyone. She walked step by step in front of Hua Huong Quan.

“I will follow you father.”

The smile of a winner appeared on Hua Huong Quan's face.

“But I have conditions.”

Hua Tue continued.

"I have no right to say conditions to you now."

Hua Huong Quan said coldly.

“Really?”

Hua Tue burst out laughing.

“If you die here today, will the Hua family's dignity be completely preserved?”

As she spoke, she didn't know where she got a piece of broken glass from. That's a piece of glass from my window that was broken a few days ago. She pressed it tightly to her neck. The sharp edge of the glass instantly cut the white skin. A stream of blood leaked out.

“Thanh Chi!”

“Hua Tue!”

Hua Huong Quan and I shouted at the same time.

“Don't come here!”

She shouted loudly, the piece of glass in her hand pressed a little deeper. More blood flowed out.

“I understand you.”

She looked at Hua Huong Quan, a fire burning in her eyes.

“If you can run away from home once, you can run away a second time.”

“If you dare to die once, you dare to die a second time.”

“If you dare to touch one of Tham Son's fingers today, I will immediately die in front of you.”

“What you bring back will only be a body!”

Hua Huong Quan's face turned blue and white.

“Are you…are you threatening me?”

“I'm informing dad.”

Hua Tue said.

“My conditions are very simple.”

“First, cancel all charges against Tham Son and this village.”

“Second, if your child's university entrance exam results meet the requirements, you cannot prevent your child from going to school.”

“Tuesday…”

She stopped for a moment, turned her head and looked at me deeply.

“I want to divorce him.”
