Chapter 705: Mourning
Realizing she’d been hit, Si Xiaohui went crazy, fighting back like a madwoman. But she was no match for the man. After a few blows, she was knocked to the ground. The man seized her neck, furiously saying.
"Si Xiaohui, you eat my food, live in my house, spend my money, and now you dare to lay a hand on me? Don’t push your luck. Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning my back on you. I have plenty of money, and can find any woman I want. Who do you think you are? If you annoy me, you’ll be out on the street in no time."
Si Xiaohui had been living with him for over three months. She knew that he worked at a steel mill and was a group leader. He had some money, and though life with him wasn’t great, she didn’t have to work and could sleep until late every day. It was quite comfortable.
Usually, she tried hard to please him. He had a bad temper and liked to play the big man when he drank, but as long as she didn’t provoke him, she was fine.
She thought she could get by like this, but he dared to hit her. Unable to fight back, Si Xiaohui took a beating, which drove her nearly mad.
She stopped being polite, retorting, "Who do you think you are? You think I can’t live without you? Do you even know who I am? Who my brother and sister-in-law are?"
The man scoffed, "You, a woman for sale, what kind of respectable people can your brother and sister-in-law be?"
Struggling to get up but failing, Si Xiaohui found herself pinned more firmly. Frustrated, she sneered, "My brother is a renowned doctor who returned from abroad, my sister-in-law is a big breeder. My family is rich. The lousy money you give me isn’t even enough for what I used to spend in a day. Being with you this long has been an act of charity, I tell you, I’m done serving you!"
