Chapter 193: The Old Woman from the Farm (1)
After leaving the previous world, Xie Lang returned to Wuhui Palace.
The civet cat attracted the next soul. Xie Lang leaned back in his seat and looked at the newcomer indifferently.
The visitor was an ancient woman in her forties, wearing rather delicate blue silk. After coming in, she looked around with a pair of eyes full of calculations, giving people a feeling of being sarcastic and mean.
"Master Demon, can you really make any wish come true?"
After He Guihua came in, her face twisted when she thought about her son. She was extremely angry: "My son is a scholar, born to be a high-ranking official. It was all because of that bitch Jiang Li. Not only did she distract my son, she also took away the Lin family's property and made us starve to death. She has such a cruel heart!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Lang's face immediately turned gloomy.
He Guihua hadn't noticed the change in Xie Lang's expression yet, and continued, "I want my son to be a high-ranking official, and I want that bitch Jiang Li to die a miserable death."
He Guihua talked for a long time, all of which was about how good her son was and how she was venting her hatred towards Jiang Li.
Xie Lang did not continue to listen to her, but just called up her life story.
He Guihua and her husband Lin Tieniu had a son and a daughter. Their family was poor and made a living by farming. In order for their son to succeed, the whole family worked hard to support his studies.
But Lin Dagui was not a good student. He hung out with his good friends, hung out in various places, and used his family's hard-earned money to have fun and visit prostitutes.
If the son Lin Dagui is the treasure of the family, then the daughter Lin Daya is a slave who can be driven at will. She has been doing all kinds of farm work since she was a child. Chopping wood, washing clothes and cooking are the basics. She also has to weave straw mats to supplement the family income and support her brother's studies.
A widower named Wang Da Ye in the village fell in love with her and was willing to pay her ten taels of silver, which was equivalent to their family's income for two years. So He Guihua married Lin Daya to him.
Uncle Wang is over fifty years old and most of his teeth have fallen out, but he likes to torture women. He has tortured four or five wives to death. He has a very bad reputation in the village, and any family that loves their daughters a little will not marry them to him.
He Guihua believed that her daughters were all money-losing goods, so she felt no guilt at all for letting Lin Daya marry Uncle Wang.
She thought her son was her support for the rest of her life, so she obeyed him in everything and gave all the ten taels of silver she got from selling her daughter to Lin Dagui.
As expected, Lin Dagui used the money to visit brothels with his friends.
The ten taels of silver were soon squandered by Lin Dagui, but he was not satisfied with that, so he set his sights on Jiang Li, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the town.
In ancient times, a woman's reputation was very important. Lin Dagui believed that as long as he could destroy Jiang Li's innocence, she would have no choice but to marry him, and he could get the Jiang family's wealth.
So he often waited at the door of Jiang's house, and finally he got the chance and raped Jiang Li.
In the end, for the sake of his daughter, Mr. Jiang had no choice but to marry his daughter to him and prepared a lot of dowry for her.
Thanks to Jiang Li's dowry, the Lin family became wealthy from being a peasant family.
The Lin family was able to become wealthy all because of Jiang Li, but He Guihua didn't think so. She believed that her son would sooner or later pass the imperial examination and become an official, and Jiang Li was just the daughter of a merchant. From this perspective, Jiang Li was marrying into the Lin family, and she also believed that Jiang Li was able to marry into the family because she seduced her son.
So he often didn't look at Jiang Li well.
Three years after Jiang Li got married, Lin Dagui achieved nothing in the imperial examination. He Guihua blamed all this on Jiang Li, believing that she must have seduced her son, so she tortured her even more severely.
But one day, Jiang Li suddenly changed her personality. She not only divorced her son, but also took away the dowry. The entire Lin family became penniless again.
Having experienced a life of wealth and prosperity, how could one be willing to return to poverty?
Lin Tieniu was so angry that he died on the spot because all the family property was taken away. He Guihua and Lin Dagui, who had experienced several years of wealthy life, naturally did not want to go back to the past, and finally starved to death.
"I want that bitch Jiang Li to die miserably. She is the one who caused my son to starve to death. She also seduced my son and made him lose interest in his studies. It's all because of that bitch. She is so cruel that she didn't even leave a penny of property to us..."
He Guihua's eyes were as if filled with poison, and looked extremely hideous.
"Aren't you the Demon Lord? You can fulfill any of my wishes. I want that Jiang Li to die miserably, and I want my son to become a high-ranking official."
The temperature in Wuhui Palace suddenly dropped, and the civet cat huddled in a corner, shivering.
He looked at He Guihua who was still talking incessantly in the hall with an expression of silence.
Sure enough, the next moment.
Snapped!
A stream of magical power slapped He Guihua's face hard, and a slap mark immediately appeared on He Guihua's face.
He Guihua was stunned on the spot.
"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?"
clap clap clap! ! !
Three more spells were cast, and He Guihua was slapped three times again.
