Chapter 3339: You Must Cut off All Their Support
Chapter 3339: You Must Cut off All Their Support
Ning Shu severed all of Ma Yongjun’s social ties. His old drinking buddies were all driven away using debt traps.
Now, Ma Yongjun had no one to talk to outside.
It was as if he were stranded on an island—apart from the people at home, he had no one to speak to.
The neighbors all ignored Ma Yongjun. They knew what kind of person he was.
To control someone, you must cut off all their support.
Now, Ma Yongjun kept a close eye on Ning Shu. Even when she went out to work, he would tag along.
He acted like they were a devoted husband-and-wife team. Many people who knew Ma Yongjun said that after falling ill, his temper had mellowed out.
But only Ning Shu knew the truth—his current behavior stemmed from fear.
He needed something to cling to.
Right now, Ning Shu was his lifeline.
He was terrified she would run off with another man.
Whenever a man came to buy pancakes, Ma Yongjun would glare at him, his eyes bloodshot, like he was about to pounce.
The next day, Ma Yongjun’s heart spasms and pain worsened, forcing him to stay in bed. He couldn’t follow her to work.
On top of that, he seemed to have developed chronic fractures. A slight misstep, and—crack—his ankle would swell up bigger than a fist.
His body was incredibly weak.
So, once again, Ning Shu went out alone to do business.
Under the torment of the bone-dislocating treatment, Ma Yongjun’s bones and tendons had become incredibly fragile.
The wear and tear were severe. Though he was only in his thirties, his body was like that of a seventy-year-old.
If he fell to the ground, he might never get back up again.
At this point, even if Ma Yongjun wanted to attack Ning Shu, she could knock him over with a single finger, and he’d probably throw out his back.
Any minor accident could send Ma Yongjun straight to the afterlife.
Yet, he continued to endure Ning Shu’s torment.
Once you destroy everything someone relies on, you can do whatever you want to them, and no matter what, they’ll endure it.
That was how a masochist was made.
Ma Yongjun was barely surviving, while Ning Shu’s life only kept getting better. That alone was enough to make him suffer in despair.
The more he suffered, the more he wanted to cling to his last lifeline.
If he couldn’t use violence to make his woman submit, he would endure whatever she did.
Even if Ning Shu really did have an affair, Ma Yongjun would just grit his teeth and bear it.
Just like before, Huang Jing had endured Ma Yongjun—endured his behavior outside the home—just to avoid getting beaten.
And now, Ma Yongjun endured everything Ning Shu did, just to stay alive, afraid she would abandon him.
Ma Yongjun and Huang Jing’s marriage was twisted.
And the current relationship between Ning Shu and Ma Yongjun was just as distorted.
Two originally independent individuals were forced into a parasitic relationship due to circumstances.
Ning Shu was going to make Ma Yongjun taste what it felt like to live in constant uncertainty.
To live every day in fear, anxiety, and loneliness.
When being beaten, no one helps. No one stands up for you, crossing their arms and shouting, “NO!”
Meeting the wrong person—no matter how much effort was put in, happiness was impossible.
When reasoning didn’t work and you weren’t as strong as them, you could only despair.
Who doesn’t want a good and happy life?
Everyone wants to trust—and for that trust not to be betrayed.
One gives, hoping for a response.
But Huang Jing’s efforts weren’t just ignored; instead, she was repaid with misfortune.
Now, Ma Yongjun no longer had the strength to lay a hand on Ning Shu.
Whether the entrustor stays or leaves was just a matter of a single word.
