Chapter 317: The Truth

Translator: 549690339

Qiao Chang’an was truly fond of Zhuang Luhe back in the day, but sadly, she never took an interest in him.

He tried to propose but was rejected, he desired to elope but that plan failed as well, then he attempted to force himself on her.

It didn’t go as he wished and Zhuang Luhe ended up marrying Qiao Changshun instead. That became the greatest resentment he harbored in this lifetime.

Yes, resentment.

When he saw Qiao Changshun being oppressed by the Sun Family, he felt satisfied.

Seeing Zhuang Luhe suffer alongside Qiao Changshun for more than a decade, it made him happy too.

The brutal reality merely proved how foolish Zhuang Luhe’s choice had been back in the day.

So, he secretly enticed Zhuang Luhe, suggesting that if she was willing to have an affair with him, he would clandestinely provide her with some silver and food.

But Zhuang Luhe refused and even slapped his face in return.

This furtherated his resentment.

What was so good about Qiao Changshun? This weakling who had been oppressed for years. Why was she preserving her chastity as if it was something precious?

Before he could devise a new strategy, Qiao Changshun unexpectedly received fifty taels of silver.

Fifty taels!

That was a considerable sum in Anping Village!

This softhearted man, Changshun’s fortunes had unexpectedly turned!

Zhuang Luhe who had suffered all these years, unexpectedly had her hard days turned around!

That won’t do!

Tormented by jealousy and rage, unable to sleep, he initiated his plan.

Qiao Changshun, just as he wished, ended up breaking his leg.

At that time, the Sun Family was enthusiastically telling the entire village that Qiao Changshun and Zhuang Luhe were paying for their unfilial behavior, thus his actions did not raise any suspicion, everyone considered it divine retribution.

Due to the broken leg, the Qiao Family’s newly acquired possessions hardly warmed up before they all had to be sold off again. So much so, their fields were also sold in the end.

To a farmer, a piece of land is their lifeline. Once they lose that, then their family is finished.

During those times, Zhuang Luhe who was once blooming vibrantly, seemed like she had been hit by a storm, withering instantly. Her entire being completely drained of vitality.

That was the scene he wanted to see.

That finally suited his taste.

So, he approached Zhuang Luhe again, only to receive another slap from her.

His anger increased, he issued a harsh warning, eager to see how long Zhuang Luhe would able to hold on, for the time will come when she will kneel before him, licking his toes.

In the end, it proved that Zhuang Luhe never warmed up to him, she would rather elope with a ballad-singing peddler than turn to him.

This fact added to his frustration, deepening his resentment towards the Qiao Family.

But what frustrated him even more happened after.

Just when Qiao Changshun’s family was on the brink of ruin, in a span of mere three months, they became the wealthiest in Anping Village.

Possessing five hundred acres of farmland, having a newly-built tiled house and his daughter was the king’s favorite cook.

This was not what he had imagined!

He anticipated seeing Qiao Xiaomai sold off to a brothel. The Qiao family’s house to be liquidated, resulting in their disintegration!

Not this glimmering golden family which was the village’s centre of attraction!

Thus, blinded by jealousy, he secretly journeyed several miles under the cover of darkness to set fire to Qiao Changshun’s wheat field.

No one was cognizant of his deeds, not even his wife, Zhao Shufen knew about his midnight adventure.

If he could not antagonise Qiao Changshun openly, then he would take covert actions.

Knowing Qiao Changshun’s temperament, that much loss would surely be painful enough to keep him awake at night for quite some time.

Ha, Changshun in the open, him in the dark. This sort of clandestine retaliation was something he planned to exploit more often!

However, to his complete surprise, his act of tampering with the tiles that day was seen by Qiao Changkang!

Unexpectedly, in order to claim the reward, Qiao Changkang used his machinations against him!

Detestable, utterly detestable!
