It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 653: The Story of Shuanzhu

Shuanzhu was also very curious, so he held the torch and moved closer, then touched it with his hand. It was indeed a small box, only as big as an adult man's fist.

He didn't dare use a shovel anymore, so he just dug with his hands.

He soon dug out a small wooden box without a lock. When he opened it, he was stunned. It was full of jewellery, and it looked like a lot.

Shuanzhu sat on the ground for a long time without reacting, just kept thinking: The boss lady asked me to bury her here, is it to give me a reward? The reward for burying the body? If I hadn't been soft-hearted and thrown her to the mass grave, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get these gold, silver and jewelry. So now, I, Shuanzhu, can be considered rich!

Thinking of this, he was very happy and even full of energy. He picked up the shovel and dug hard. Of course, in addition to burying the body as soon as possible, he also had another purpose - what if there were other gold, silver and jewelry underneath?
This is the only time I'm lucky.

The pit had been dug to a depth of one person, and nothing more was found.

Shuanzhu was satisfied with the gold, silver and jewelry. He pushed the body into the pit and filled it with soil again. He worked until dawn to fill the pit. He was so tired that he almost collapsed. He lay in the yard, looking at the sky that was gradually getting brighter, thinking about what to do in the future.

The guests staying in the hotel said that there were wars everywhere and there was almost no safe place. They were all running to the north now, bringing some goods to sell, at least enough to survive. Although I don't know when the world will be peaceful, it will definitely not be in the next few years.

So, where should I go? Maybe, go north as well?
Can't think of the answer.

The day is also getting bright.

He thought that if he went back late, Mou Huaizhong would definitely scold him again and would definitely give him a beating.

So, in the end, he decided to go back first. He hid the small box of gold, silver and jewelry in his waistband, so it would not be easily discovered by others. But now, his mentality has changed, because he has money, his back is much straighter.

After returning to the inn, he continued to work honestly and did not say much, but did whatever Mou Huaizhong told him to do. At the same time, he was also observing how Mou Huaizhong reacted to his wife's death.

The caravan stayed for five days before leaving, and the inn suddenly became deserted. After sitting in the inn lobby for a while, Mou Huaizhong suddenly returned to his room, picked out all of his wife's things, threw them in an empty space in the backyard, and burned them all with a big fire.

Shuanzhu was also stunned and didn't know what to say.

After more than half a year, the women from the cosmetics shop next door introduced a new wife to Mou Huaizhong, Li Xiuying. Mou Huaizhong did not refuse, and she soon came home.

This woman has a good temper, at least she is always polite in her dealings with others.

Because I was young, I would blush with shyness when I occasionally saw Shuanzhu taking a shower in the yard with his upper body exposed.

Shuanzhu saw that Li Xiuying and Mou Huaizhong had a good relationship, and even Mou Huaizhong had a smile on his face. He did not hit Li Xiuying. He was still thinking in his heart: Maybe the boss really likes this woman and will not cause any more trouble.

As a result, less than half a year of peace, Mou Huaizhong beat Li Xiuying half to death. He kicked her off the bed in the middle of the night, her clothes in disarray, and she looked very embarrassed.

Anyway, Li Xiuying, who was beaten black and blue, lived in the woodshed for a few days. Later, she was released after she kept begging for mercy from Mou Huaizhong. After that, although life could go on, it was still different from before. Shuanzhu was afraid of seeing Li Xiuying die in the woodshed again, so he couldn't help but secretly take care of her more and help her with more things. After a few interactions, Li Xiuying was also very good to Shuanzhu.

One night when Mou Huaizhong went out to purchase goods and had not returned, Li Xiuying and Shuanzhu slept in the same bed.

The two were of similar age, and if Shuanzhu had not been born in a poor family, he would have been married by now. Now that he had finally touched a soft and tender woman, he was so excited that he couldn't hold back.

The days that followed were actually very secretive and exciting. Although Li Xiuying was still often beaten by Mou Huaizhong, she gritted her teeth and endured it because of Shuanzhu's consideration. What's more, she had a big family to support. Her younger brother often came to ask for money, and if Mou Huaizhong saw him, he would beat him up again.

Shuanzhu even discussed with Li Xiuying, "Sister, let's go. We don't have to stay here with this old ghost. I have money, and we can survive."

"But I still have parents and siblings, I can't abandon them." Li Xiuying was very hesitant.

The elopement was delayed again until Li Xiuying became pregnant.

Li Xiuying was very frightened because she didn't know whose child this was. She wanted to keep it a secret, but she became ill first, vomiting and fainting several times.

Shuanzhu was very anxious, so he called the mother-in-law next door. The mother-in-laws were all experienced people, and they knew that she was pregnant at a glance, and they kept congratulating Mou Huaizhong. Mou Huaizhong also showed great joy, and promised everyone that when a big fat boy was born, he would definitely hold a big banquet and invite everyone to eat.

During those days, he also asked Shuanzhu to buy a lot of nutritional supplements and even cooked chicken soup for Li Xiuying. But Li Xiuying was still in the stage of morning sickness and couldn't eat anything.

One day, because the inn was full again, Mou Huaizhong wanted to give up his room to a guest. Li Xiuying was not happy about it, saying that she was pregnant, so how could she live with him in the small kitchen alley?

Mou Huaizhong suddenly slapped her in the face and yelled, "Who do you think you are? You are just a piece of junk that no one wants. Now that you are my woman, you must listen to me!"

Li Xiuying was also knocked unconscious by his slap, and she leaned against the wall, shaking all over.

Shuanzhu heard the noise and ran over to ask what happened. At this moment, Mou Huaizhong suddenly pushed Li Xiuying hard again, and she fell on the corner of the table, hurting her stomach. Soon, blood appeared in her lower body... In the end, she had a miscarriage.

Li Xiuying was drowsy and kept crying.

Her family came to see her many times and made a scene several times. Shuanzhu just listened and didn't dare to say much. He quietly went into the woodshed to see Li Xiuying, and she just cried and cried non-stop.

Shuanzhu was also very upset, and gradually saw her less and less, and was busy in the inn every day. Later, Li Xiuying said she was going back to her parents' home to recuperate, and Mou Huaizhong did not stop her... Things were just as Li Xiuying's father and brother said, and Li's father eventually killed Mou Huaizhong.

When Shuanzhu heard the noise and ran over, Li's father almost killed him. But Shuanzhu growled, "Do you want to go to jail? Find a way to get out of this crime first!"

The three men decided to take a fancy to the strong Xie An. According to his stature, he was more than capable of killing Mou Huaizhong, and someone would definitely believe him. So Shuanzhu deliberately put some knockout drugs in Xie An's wine bowl, making him fall asleep. Then he secretly took his saber and stabbed Mou Huaizhong several times, then put it back into the scabbard and sent it back to Xie An...

Early in the morning, Xie An was on his way. He rushed out, grabbed him and shouted "murderer", thus confirming his guilt.
