Chapter 1137: I’m So Miserable
“Hong Xiaoni, let me tell you. This is the Zhou family. Don’t stay here. You…”
Eldest Aunt Zhou was still scolding angrily when she saw the two of them enter. Her voice stopped abruptly.
“You, what are you doing here?”
Of course, Eldest Aunt also hated Gu Xiaoxi. If it was in the past, she would have pounced on him, bit him, and torn him apart.
However, when her gaze landed on Shao Qingyuan, all her impulses collapsed.
Her husband was still locked up in the Zhou family’s ancestral hall. If she still dared to do anything, her family would not have a good life.
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her and said, “I’m looking for Hong Xiaoni.”
“Why are you looking for her?”
“Something’s up.”
Eldest Aunt Zhou’s heart was filled with hatred. After glancing at Shao Qingyuan fearfully, she could only reluctantly point to a room beside her. “She’s over there.”
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at the room and pursed her lips.
When he first came to Great Rock Village, he and Hong Xiaoni had lived in Zhou Jingui’s house for a few days, so they were naturally very familiar with the Zhou family’s environment.
The house that Eldest Aunt Zhou had pointed out could not even be considered a woodshed.
It was a place where various farming tools were placed. It was originally built with the outhouse, but now, it was separated by a mud wall as tall as a person.
Gu Xiaoxi heaved a sigh of relief and strode towards the room.
Shao Qingyuan stood in the courtyard without moving. Therefore, even if Aunt Zhou wanted to hear what they were saying in the house, she did not dare to do anything under his nose.
The moment Gu Xiaoxi pushed open the door, he saw Hong Xiaoni lying on the bed.
There were many baskets and hoes in the house, and only a small piece was still empty. There were two benches there and two wooden boards on them. They could be treated as a bed.
Hong Xiaoni was lying on this wooden board, staring blankly at a basket hanging on the beam above her head.
Upon seeing Gu Xiaoxi enter, she froze for a moment before hurriedly sitting up.
However, her leg was broken, and she fell off the bed.
Gu Xiaoxi instinctively ran forward to support her. However, as soon as he touched her, he immediately recalled the grudge between the two of them. She was no longer the wife who was seriously ill and needed to be taken care of.
He quickly retracted his hand, but it was too late. Hong Xiaoni grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, “Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, why are you here? Are you here to take me away? Take me away. I was wrong. I’ve let you down. I won’t do it again. I’ll definitely be a good wife in the future. I’ll take care of you, serve you, and give birth to your children, okay?”
Gu Xiaoxi wanted to stand up, but Hong Xiaoni was surprisingly strong. He couldn’t break free.
He quickly took out the divorce letter and handed it to her. He said, “You’ve misunderstood. I’m here to divorce you. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. You’re on your own.”
Hong Xiaoni was stunned. Gu Xiaoxi took this opportunity to quickly retract his hand and immediately took two steps back.
Hong Xiaoni couldn’t read, but when she heard the word ‘divorce’, her expression suddenly became ferocious. She grabbed it and tore it into pieces.
“What divorce letter? No, there’s no divorce letter.” She raised her head and looked at Gu Xiaoxi. “You won’t divorce me, right? You were so good to me in the past. You couldn’t bear to let me suffer at all. You listened to everything I said. But now, my leg is broken. Look, I’m so miserable. Xiaoxi, you can’t leave me alone. Take me away, okay? I beg you.”
