Chapter 596: Emptying the Household’s Money
Her parents' words successfully hurt Xue Jinfeng's heart.
This was the first time after she got married that a person who has no value will be despised wherever he goes.
When she had money, she was very popular.
Her brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces at home all listen to her and say things she likes to hear.
Now that she has no money, her family members all give her the cold shoulder.
Xue Jinfeng finally remembered her childhood life. In fact, her parents, who favored boys over girls, treated her like this at that time.
It’s just that these memories are too distant and are all sealed in her mind.
Now that she suddenly remembered it and they were suddenly using it on herself, Xue Jinfeng felt as if she was in another world.
It turned out that she had never been loved or accepted in this family.
She is a person only in so far as she is useful.
When she was no longer useful, they wanted to kick her out.
Xue Jinfeng understood this and nodded while crying and agreed to their request.
"I really don't have any money now, but I will work hard and repay you well."
In order to avoid handing over the money, Xue Jinfeng was tortured by her parents and forced to do housework and farm work all day.
Her parents ate rice at night, but she could only drink wild vegetable soup.
Xue Jinfeng drank the wild vegetable soup without any oil or salt, and felt her stomach empty after drinking it.
After finally making it to night, she wanted to go to her room to sleep, but was rudely kicked out by her parents.
"You poor bastard, what right do you have to sleep in such a nice room?"
"Where will I sleep if I don't sleep in my room?"
There was a tearful tone in Xue Jinfeng's voice when she said this.
Although I have long seen through my parents' true colors and have prepared myself mentally, I still find it hard to accept it.
"Sleep in the woodshed. There's some straw in the woodshed. You can sleep however you want."
"As for this bed, it will be useful to you when your brother and sister-in-law come back."
"You have no money now, and you might get divorced soon. It's a waste to wait for you to sleep in such a nice room."
Xue Jinfeng listened to these extremely cruel words and moved the things to the woodshed without saying a word.
At night, her parents were sleeping soundly, and Xue Jinfeng could even hear their snoring in the woodshed.
She opened her eyes in the dark and climbed up silently.
Her husband came to his room and collected all the valuables.
Then she quietly pushed open the door of her parents' room and took out the key to the closet from her mother's trouser pocket.
After getting the key, she opened the closet door and took out a box from the corner of the closet.
This box contains my mother's savings and her gold and silver jewelry.
Then she locked the cabinet again and put the key back where it belonged.
She took these things and ran out at night and hid in the back mountain.
Then she went back to the woodshed, lay down on the floor and fell asleep.
Xue Jinfeng couldn't get used to sleeping on such a hard ground at first, but when she thought of the things she had obtained, she fell asleep peacefully again.
The next day, before dawn, she was called by her mother to cook.
Xue Jinfeng worked while yawning, and after finishing her meal she was called to work in the fields again.
After finishing the work in the fields, he was asked to fetch water, and after fetching water, he was asked to go to the mountain to chop firewood.
In short, her parents would not let her rest for a moment, nor would they allow her to be idle for a moment.
If her parents had treated her like this before, Xue Jinfeng would have felt very uncomfortable.
But now, the more cruelly they tortured him, the less guilt Xue Jinfeng felt.
She did take everything of value in the house.
She originally thought that if they didn't go so far, she might secretly return some of it.
But now they don't even treat her as a human being, so there's no need for her to be soft on them.
And she deeply realized that with this intensity of labor, she would die if she continued to stay.
Xue Jinfeng had been working at home for two days and was already exhausted with back pain.
On the third day, her parents asked her to fetch water. Xue Jinfeng fetched water twice and nothing happened during the process.
When she fetched water for the third time, she secretly took all her valuables with her.
She deliberately chose the place where the aunts washed clothes to fetch water.
She pretended to be so tired that she was about to collapse, and when the aunts took the initiative to talk to her, she deliberately smiled very weakly.
"It's okay. I'm getting a divorce now and I can't bring any money home. I should do more work."
"My parents were afraid that I would be sad sitting at home, so they kept giving me work to do."
"After all, they are my parents who gave birth to me and raised me. Although I am a little tired, I will not blame them."
Xue Jinfeng wiped the non-existent beads of sweat from her forehead, and then when the aunts looked at her with sympathy, she deliberately fell into the river while carrying water.
Xue Jinfeng actually can swim, but most people don’t know it.
After falling into the river, Xue Jinfeng struggled desperately and pretended that she could not swim.
In fact, the more she struggled, the farther she was from the shore. Seeing that the time was almost right, she dived into the water.
After she entered the water, she immediately waved her arms rapidly and soon swam farther and farther away.
Xue Jinfeng escaped by diving into the water. The aunts on the shore saw her fall into the water with their own eyes, and they could no longer sit still.
They couldn't swim, so they had to go to the village to find someone to rescue them.
"Help! Someone come! Someone fell into the water! Come and save her!"
"Ouch! The person has already sunk to the bottom of the water, why hasn't this person come yet?"
"Let's ask a few people to go to Xue Jinfeng's house and let her family know about this!"
The aunties who were washing clothes by the river now don’t even have time to wash their clothes.
They dropped what they were doing and rushed outside.
They were calling people, promoting things, and making announcements, and everyone was busy having a great time.
Finally they called a few young men who were good at swimming, and they jumped into the water to salvage the fish.
Those who promoted it also told this matter to everyone they met.
Only the person who went to Xue Jinfeng's house to inform her was rejected.
It is said that when Xue Jinfeng's parents found out that their daughter fell into the river while fetching water, they only said one sentence coldly.
"A man of his age can fall into the water while carrying water. He is really useless."
"It's no use dying like that. Why should we feel bad about it? You don't have to come and inform us."
"That's right, that's right. I can't even keep a man. I wasted my life in such a good place. It's a relief to die now."
These emotionless words from Xue's father and mother made everyone almost drop their jaws in shock.
They never imagined that Xue Jinfeng's body hadn't even been found yet, but they were already hoping she would die.
The aunts in the village all knew how to feel sorry for her, and the young men all knew how to help with the salvage, but they were so indifferent as if Xue Jinfeng's life or death was none of their business. It was simply outrageous!
