Chapter 365: Chapter 359 You are an Animal!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Madam Ma lived her days in resentment and fear.
Her husband became disabled and could never walk normally again because of Zhao Chuchu. Madam Yang could forgive Zhao Chuchu, but she wasn’t able to.
Every time Zhao Chuchu treated a patient, Madam Ma prayed to God that Zhao Chuchu would accidentally kill her patient. She would have to pay back with her own life that way!
Unfortunately, Madam Ma’s prayers were never answered.
The noise from Madam Yang opening the door brought Madam Ma back from her train of thought.
“Are you deaf? I called you so many times. Why didn’t you answer? Do you still know that I am your mother-in-law? Why the long face all day? You act as if we aren’t giving you enough to eat! All of this crap is the result of bad luck bringers like you!’
Madam Yang kept scolding Madam Ma nonstop.
“Mom, I didn’t do that on purpose. I got distracted because I was thinking about when Baogen’s leg could recover. Zhao Chuchu said that it’s going to be very fast, right? However, new year is going to be over soon, and Baogen’s leg still hasn’t recovered. Was she lying to us back then?”
“So what? Do you want to find trouble with that evil maniac? I’ll tell you now— if you want to do anything stupid, do it yourself. I’m not going with you. If that maniac breaks your leg too, don’t blame me for not getting you a doctor.”
“Mom, 1…”
‘Enough, shut up. I’ve had enough of your nonsense all day. Just behave properly and stay away from that insane woman. Baogen wouldn’t have broken his leg if it weren’t for you! You should be taking care of him right now. You don’t even have to work on the farms. You should be happy that you can slack off at home!”
Madam Ma was so mad that she could barely speak.
What did she mean by “slacking off at home ?
All the chores in the household are handled by her now. That sister-in-law of hers refused to do any tasks after returning from work on the farm. Every day, she just sat there and waited for food as though she owned the place.
Madam Ma had to feed the chickens and ducks. Sometimes she had to harvest the hogweed to feed the pigs. Besides that, she was also in charge of washing the clothes, cleaning the place, and chopping up the logs.
During the autumn, when they were harvesting, she had to go to the sun-drying field to dry the paddy rice on top of her usual chores. Then, after the rice dried, she had to pack them up and carry them home bit by bit!
Why did all these things seem like easy work for these people?
Madam Ma felt extremely bitter but didn’t dare to say anything. If she spoke out against Madam Yang, Madam Yang would surely start wailing and whining as though it were the end of the world, and she would become infamous for being “unfilial.”
Zhao Baogen had previously said that if she dared go against Madam Yang’s will, he would divorce her!
The Ma Clan also resented Madam Ma because of the incident with Old Madam Ma. They felt that if it weren’t for Madam Ma, Old Madam Ma wouldn’t have to do forced labor at such an old age.
Madam Ma was being cornered and attacked from all facets of her life, and her husband didn’t empathize with her.
The more Madam Ma thought about it, the angrier she felt. She blamed it all on Zhao Chuchu.
If Zhao Chuchu hadn’t done those things, her life wouldn’t have become so difficult. Why did her daughter die that day instead of that little bitch!
Why is God so unfair?
“What are you doing? Are you giving me a look just because I scolded you a little? Do you want to scram back to your maiden family?!” Madam Yang was enraged when she saw the resentment in Madam Ma’s eyes. She pointed at her nose and started shrieking, “Our family must have messed up really bad in our previous lives to have such shitty luck to have you marry my son, you…” Madam Ma didn’t dare say a word in return.
All she could do was stand there and wait until Madam Yang was done scolding her before walking back to her room, feeling extremely miserable.
Zhao Baogen was lying on the bed and heard everything that Madam Yang had said to Madam Ma.
People often say that when a person is sick for a prolonged period, he may have low self-esteem. Zhao Baogen was no different.
After hearing Madam Ma get scolded, not only did he not try to console her, he even mocked her. “Wow, you’re so amazing. How do you manage to infuriate my mother every single day without fail? Do you feel like you can’t stay in the
Zhao clan anymore and want me to divorce you so you can find another man? Right, you’re still so young. There must be so many men out there willing to marry you!’
“Zhao Baogen, how can you say that?” Madam Ma was so angry upon hearing Zhao Baogen that she started crying. “I have been caring for you and doing all the household chores during this time. How can you say something so hurtful?
How could you be so ungrateful?”
“All you do is just cook three meals a day. How tiring can that be? You’re enjoying a good life right now, and it’s because your husband’s leg is ruined. You should be grateful!”
“You, you…you are an animal.”
“Bitch, how dare you say that to me? I knew you had another man out there, so you’re coming home to show me this attitude!”
“Zhao Baogen, you are worse than an animal! I worked so hard to take care of you, yet you still suspect me like that. You’re inhuman…”
Madam Ma completely lost it. She pounced forward and scratched Zhao Baogen’s face.
Zhao Baogen had been bedridden for almost half a year now. Not only did he become a lot lazier than before, but much of his strength had also deteriorated. Although he was still bigger than Madam Ma, he couldn’t fight against her, who worked every day.
Madam Ma quickly made several scratch marks on his face. Zhao Baogen started yelling.
Madam Yang charged into the room when she heard the noise. She saw Madam Ma pinning her son down on the bed and beating her. She screamed and pounced forward, grabbing Madam Ma’s hair and tugging Madam Ma back to get her away from Zhao Baogen.
“You bitch, how dare you beat your husband? I have to give you a lesson today, you ungrateful, unloyal, disgusting maggot! I’ll teach you what the Zhao Clan is made of today!” Madam Yang started beating Madam Ma as she shrieked. Madam Ma returned to her senses and started revolting against Madam Yang.
The two women started fighting.
The brawl was so loud that their neighbors were alerted.
By the time their neighbors managed to separate the two of them, both Madam Yang and Madam Ma had their clothes stretched and torn, their hair was scattered and messy, and there were scratches all over their faces. They all look incredibly miserable.
Madam Yang pointed at Madam Ma and yelled, “Bitch, you wait. I’ll divorce you right now and chase you out. How dare you beat your mother-in-law, you inhuman wretch! I’m telling you, you won’t get away with this!”
Madam Ma had completely let herself loose at this point. She yelled back, “Sure, I dare you to divorce me! I’ll make sure every single one of you dies with me. Don’t think for a minute that you can enjoy your life while I suffer. You bully me all day long. Do you really think that I’m just a doll that you can do with as you please? Think again!’
“Enough! Do you want us to become the laughingstock of the entire village? You! Get out of my house and scram back to the Ma Clan now!” Zhao Baogen yelled.
Madam Ma looked toward Zhao Baogen. She couldn’t believe her ears. “What did you just say?
She didn’t care when Madam Yang said to divorce her. But it was totally different when Zhao Baogen said it.
“You beat my mother just now. That’s unfilial, so I’m going to divorce you!’ “Zhao Baogen, how dare you?
Madam Ma panicked. While she appeared tough on the outside, she was rather weak and scared on the inside.
Her maiden family didn’t want her anymore. So if Zhao Baogen divorced her, she would have no other option but to die.
“You heard him. My son said he’s going to divorce you; now scram back to the
Ma Clan!!’
“I’ve been working my ass off in the Zhao Clan for so many years. I did so much hard labor for all of you. I even gave birth to a child, yet now you’re saying you want to divorce me.”
Madam Ma screamed hysterically. She had completely lost her mind.
She dashed to the table, picked up the oil lamp, and took out a fire starter. “An eye for an eye. You want to divorce me? Alright, I’ll make you die with me, Zhao Baogen!’
Madam Yang was shocked by how Madam Ma behaved, as though she had gone entirely mad.
She was afraid that Madam Ma would really set fire to the place.
“Zhao Baogen, we weren’t born on the same day, but we shall die on the same night. After we die, we’ll still be husband and wife,” Madam Yang said viciously. “You made me do this!”
Zhao Baogen’s leg hadn’t recovered fully yet. So even if he could get out of bed, he couldn’t run.
He started panicking as well.
