Chapter 310: At Midnight, a Ghost Knocks

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Everyone was scheming. Lady Xu’s mother-in-law was the first to start crying, “Xu Dou, my pitiful daughter-in-law! Just what must’ve happened for you to choose suicide?! Life has been so good yet you no longer wanted to live! What is wrong with your head?!”

Chen Zhaodi’s eyeballs swirled around and she got an idea. In a whiny voice, she cried, “Sister-in-law must have had a hard time because of Liu Xiang’s stomach. My pitiful sister-in-law! You went through so much just to die!”

Chen Zhaodi’s words in Su Dahai’s ears saddened him greatly. He even ignored Liu Xiang, who was also crying.

Regardless if it were real or fake, everyone was crying a river out there.

Inside the bedroom, a heart-wrenching cry ripped out, “Jinxiu!”

“Mom!”

Lady Xu woke up and was greatly hurt by how hard her daughter was crying. She embraced her daughter and the two cried together.

Both of them were so unspeakably sad.

When everyone outside heard the commotion, they stopped crying.

Liu Xiang was in disbelief. She pushed Officer Zhao to the side and shoved herself inside.

Su Dahai followed closely and lunged into the room.

Lady Xu, who was placed on the floor and who was thought to be dead, was in one piece. Unharmed, she was holding onto her daughter and crying. If it weren’t for the purple marks around her neck, everyone would think they’d gone insane.

Lady Xu’s mother-in-law frightfully said, “Isn’t she dead? How is she still alive?”

Lady Xu’s head snapped around upon hearing those words. She chose to hang herself after such an emotionally draining moment. Now that she was given a second chance, she felt so stupid. What was she thinking? Killing herself for this family of animals? What was going to happen to her daughter? Who was going to take care of her elderly father?

Everything suddenly made sense to Lady Xu now. After experiencing death once, she found so much clarity. Why would she be scared of this room of bastards if she wasn’t even afraid of death?

Lady Xu stared at her mother-in-law and mockingly said, “If you’ve done nothing to be ashamed of, why are you scared of a ghost knocking on your door? If you did nothing wrong, why are you acting so scared of me right now?”

Su Dahai wasn’t scared of Lady Xu and knelt down beside her, “Xu Dou, why did you try to kill yourself?! If you didn’t want me to have Liu Xiang as a wife, I wouldn’t have.”

Su Dahai was truly regretful now.

Liu Xiang didn’t expect to lose her position as a wife after Lady Xu’s suicide attempt. She was seriously unhappy but didn’t dare to say anything given how many people were there.

Bluntly, unreservedly, Lady Xu slapped Su Dahai in the face, dumbfounding him.

Su Dahai’s parents’ faces dropped. The mother-in-law jumped off the ground and screamed, “You b!tch! You dare to hit my son?! Who do you think you are to hit a man?! Son, divorce her right away! Kick her out right now!”

Lady Xu slapped Su Dahai in the face again after he heard her mother-in-law’s statement.

Su Dahai woke up then and grabbed Lady Xu’s hand. Angry, he demanded, “Xu

Dou, what are you doing?!”

Lady Xu laughed and pointed at Su Dahai to curse, “I am hitting you son of a b!tch for being so heartless and ungrateful. Do you remember what you were like when I married you? You had no monev and not even a nice piece of clothing. Your parents had abandoned you back then. Have you forgotten all that?!

When I married you, what did you promise my father? You said you would never wrong me and that if you did, you would live the rest of your life in agony. You would be better off dead than going on with life after wronging me.

Su Dahai, I am going to wait for karma to get you. People should not make promises that easily. If you don’t fulfill them, you will get punished.”

Su Dahai’s expression changed. He suddenly recalled a lot of things from before. The look on his face kept on changing and in the end, he finally held onto Lady Xu’s hands.

“I was wrong. I never should’ve brought up making Liu Xiang my wife. Don’t worry, that will never happen again.

Xu Dou, I am going to treat you well from now on. I was wrong before. You don’t like my second brother and his wife, right? I will ask them to go back to our countryside home. You can make all the decisions in this family.”

Every member of the Su family became unsettled.

Lu Jiao studied Su Dahai and saw the sincerity and regret on his face. Was Lady Xu going to continue this relationship with him?

Just then, Lady Xu spoke up, “Su Dahai, I want a divorce. You want Liu Xiang as your wife, right? Why have two wives? I am going to give up my spot so she can take it.”

Su Dahai stared at Lady Xu in awe.

Though Su Dahai accepted concubines and hurt Lady Xu, deep in his bones, he had always thought of Lady Xu as his one and only wife. He had always figured that a lot of his success was thanks to Lady Xu and the good luck she brought. Therefore, Su Dahai wasn’t willing to separate from Lady Xu.

“Xu Dou, why are you asking for a divorce? Tell me, what conditions do I have to meet to have you here?”

He worded it as if he would agree to anything Lady Xu asks for. Even if Lady Xu asked his parents to go back to the countryside, he would’ve agreed.

If he said these words before Lady Xu’s suicide attempt, she truly would’ve been touched and stayed with him. Sadly, she had died once and was now truly hopeless when it came to men.

“Su Dahai, if you stood up for me when Chen Zhaodi hit me, I might’ve been touched. If you didn’t impregnate Liu Xiang, I might forgive you for always taking her side. I might simply view her as a plaything. At this point, however, what more can we say? Let’s divorce. I don’t want anything. I just want to bring

Jinxiu.”

As for her son, he has the Su surname and he could stay here.

Her daughter, however, could not stay here. With that wicked mother-in-law of hers, her daughter would not have a good life here. They might truly sell her daughter off to a rich man as his concubine.

Su Dahai declined with an ugly look on his face, “No. I don’t agree to a divorce.”

Lady Su coldly stared at him. There was no more dwelling in her eyes, only frost, “What right do you have to decline? Ever since your mother got you that concubine, you no longer saw me as your wife. You spend all your time fooling around with her. Even when you don’t, you would take her out to run your business under the false pretense that you needed someone to take care of you. Su Dahai, you think I’m a fool? You think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You’re into her young body and you’re into the fact that she does whatever you say.”

Near the end, Lady Xu felt so worthless. She had wasted her whole life on this scum and even gave him a foolish son.

As Lady Xu thought of her life, she suddenly remembered something. Back then, to show how genuine he was about the marriage, he had hired someone to write her a contract. He even left his fingerprint on it.

Lady Xu suddenly laughed. She stared at Su Dahai and slowly said, “Su Dahai, have you forgotten what you once wrote me? The contract clearly states that if you ever get a concubine, all the assets and wealth the Su family accumulated would be put under my name. So, now, everything the Su family owns is mine..”
