Chapter 3341: His Wife Died of Illness
“This time, he’s definitely a better man than Ma Yongjun. His wife died of illness,” Mother Huang said.
“What illness?” Ning Shu asked casually.
Mother Huang thought for a moment before saying, “I think it was a gynecological disease. Women, after having a man and giving birth, always have weak bodies.”
Ning Shu let out a cold laugh. “A woman was sick, yet her husband didn’t take her to the hospital. And this is supposed to be a good man?”
There was also another possibility—he was too stingy to spend money.
If it wasn’t a severe illness, he wouldn’t take her to the hospital.
The gynecological disease was dragged out until it killed her.
“This is a woman’s issue. How can a man understand? Besides, she wasn’t in good health to begin with.”
“A household needs a man, a pillar of strength, someone to represent the family in social matters,” Mother Huang said earnestly.
Ning Shu let out an “Oh” and said, “A man who didn’t even care whether his wife lived or died.”
As if a man was absolutely necessary, as if one had to rely on a man psychologically.
That kind of thinking endlessly magnified one’s own weakness.
“I won’t listen to you. Before, you didn’t ask for my opinion and just married me off to Ma Yongjun.”
“Ma Yongjun beat me black and blue. Now that he’s sick—he was already useless, and now he’s even more useless—you want me to remarry.”
“Could you stop being so cruel?”
“Who’s being cruel to you? I’m your mother! I just want you to have a good life. That Ma Yongjun treated you so terribly, yet you still want to stay with him?”
Mother Huang was exasperated.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but roll her eyes. When Ma Yongjun had the strength to beat her, she was told to endure.
Now that he had no strength, she was being told to divorce and marry another man who did.
What kind of grudge did they have against her?
Once someone falls into misfortune, it’s never just a single unlucky event.
Don’t be afraid; countless more misfortunes were waiting ahead.
Seeing that Ning Shu was just focused on knitting, Mother Huang stomped her foot and left.
Ning Shu called after her, “Mom, don’t take money from them. I haven’t divorced yet. If you take their money and try to force me to marry someone else, that’s bigamy—they could sue.”
“By then, the one who suffers will still be you. After all, I’ve already married into another family, and whatever money you took has nothing to do with me.”
“Stop always thinking about making money for your son. I’m your own flesh and blood too. I’m not asking for equal treatment, but at least don’t sell me off.”
Mother Huang was silent for a moment before saying angrily, “How did you become like this? You used to be so obedient.”
“Oh, so you really did take money. That’s great! I’m going to call the police. What you’re doing is human trafficking,” Ning Shu said excitedly.
In the past, just for a bit of bride price, Huang Jing was sold to Ma Yongjun.
Now, for another sum of money, they wanted Ning Shu to divorce Ma Yongjun and be sold off again.
“You… What do you mean by calling the police?” Mother Huang stared at Ning Shu in shock. “You unfilial daughter! How did I end up giving birth to such an unfilial child?”
Ning Shu shook her head. “I’m not unfilial at all. I’m contributing to a law-based society by resolutely cracking down on illegal activities.”
She stared at Mother Huang, who turned around in anger and left.
Ning Shu withdrew her gaze. The first time was one thing, but coming back for a second—did they plan to control Huang Jing for life?
There were many unfilial children, but there were also plenty of unkind parents.
After thinking it over, Ning Shu decided to report it to the police and explained the situation to them.
If her maternal family really tried to force her, that would be human trafficking.
Especially since she was still legally married.
Sometimes, if you weren’t ruthless, people would just keep pushing you around.
With the police involved, this matter was no longer just about bride price.
