Chapter 99: Royal Relatives
"Fang, did Niuniu’s dad hit you?" Tong Yao stared strangely at He Fang’s bruised and swollen face. He Fang’s appearance was akin to a pig, not an exaggeration at all. Her cheeks were swollen as if she’d eaten two eggs, her eyes puffy and narrow, no sign of her eyeballs. Tong Yao even wondered if He Fang was able to see at all.
The person who was perfectly fine two days ago had suddenly turned into this, no doubt she had been beaten.
No one but her husband, He Fang, could have done this to her but she had been so infatuated that she didn’t see it, leading her to this state.
Backing down and not fighting back is useless, no matter how strong your supporter may be.
She looked around, and was even more shocked when she noticed Niuniu wasn’t there. "Fang, where’s Niuniu?"
Si Xiaohui also looked at He Fang with surprise. God! What kind of husband was this? His beatings were too brutal, treating his wife as if she was his sworn enemy!
There were often fights between couples in the village, but she had never seen anyone being beaten this badly.
"Grandma and grandpa took Niuniu away." As soon as He Fang replied, she started choking back sobs. She was too parched from crying all night to conjure any tears, and stuttered hoarsely, "My husband found out about me working for you. He wanted my money and when I refused, he beat me up. Niuniu went to get her grandparents and as they watched me getting beaten, they took Niuniu away instead of stopping him."
Thinking about this, He Fang felt a terrible pain in her heart, shaking with rage. She had always been filial towards her in-laws but she never thought they could be so indifferent when she got beaten up.
She could remember how her in-laws had tried to stop her father-in-law from hitting their dog because it had bitten someone. Apparently, He Fang was less valuable to them than a dog.
