Chapter 3311: Women Were All Princesses
Ning Shu wiped the gunk from the corner of her eye. The moment her hand touched her face, a burning pain flared up.
Her face was swollen.
Ning Shu silently began to receive the storyline.
The story of this world was simple—it was about a woman who had endured years of domestic violence.
Women, no matter their age, were all princesses. But a woman suffering from domestic abuse was like a princess whose glass slipper had been shattered.
Their fate was like that of the broken glass slipper.
The entrustor’s name was Huang Jing. She had been married for nearly ten years. Her parents had arranged the marriage, by simply taking the household registration booklet and registering it for her.
They told her that Ma Yongjun was a good man—gentle and refined, someone who would surely cherish his wife.
Well, he might have looked gentle and refined, but instead of cherishing his wife, he used his strength to beat her.
After they got married, Huang Jing discovered that her husband was lazy and addicted to smoking, drinking, and gambling. He only did odd jobs from time to time.
Sometimes, he worked on construction sites, making just enough money to gamble, drink, and smoke.
And he was violent—whenever he was in a bad mood, he would hit Huang Jing.
Even when she was pregnant, Ma Yongjun still laid hands on her.
Every time, she was beaten until her head was covered in bumps.
During her pregnancy, Huang Jing ran to her mother’s house almost daily, sobbing uncontrollably in front of her mother.
But her mother only said, “This is just how a woman’s life is. Endure it. Just endure a little longer.”
“Besides, you already have children now.”
In small counties, divorce was seen as shameful.
Every time Huang Jing ran back to her parents’ home, Ma Yongjun would always come to take her back.
Her parents would sternly warn their son-in-law not to hit their daughter.
In front of them, Ma Yongjun would nod and promise over and over again. But once they got home, he would beat her even worse.
Huang Jing eventually learned her lesson. Except for holidays, she stopped going back to her parents’ home.
Whenever Ma Yongjun got drunk, she stayed as far away from him as possible.
After giving birth to two daughters in a row, Ma Yongjun’s attitude toward her worsened. He beat her more frequently—at the slightest provocation, his fists would land on her.
After all, the fact that he had no sons would make him seem impotent, unfilial, and an absolute disgrace in front of his ancestors.
Ma Yongjun never contributed money to the household. Whenever he had money, he spent it on treating his scummy friends to hotpot, barbecue, drinks, and gambling.
Meanwhile, Huang Jing had to stretch every penny, scrimping and saving however she could.
One spent money like running water, while the other was so frugal it left people speechless.
Before Ning Shu arrived, something had happened—Huang Jing had found a job as a staff member at a small matchmaking agency.
Her job was to arrange blind dates, matching unmarried men and women based on their requirements and conditions.
But Ma Yongjun caught wind of some gossip—people were saying that Huang Jing was meeting other men outside.
A man who abuses his wife always has clear traits: extremely controlling, sky-high ego, and never believing that he’s wrong.
Yet for his wife and children, the weakest in the family, any mistake they made was absolutely unforgivable.
Huang Jing had endured Ma Yongjun for almost ten years, from their marriage until now.
Not only did Ma Yongjun beat her, but he also beat their children.
One time, their eldest daughter, Ma Lanlan, was serving Ma Yongjun a meal and accidentally knocked over a bowl.
