Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1284 - 1203:

None other than Cui Shuicao was the woman who spoke; years back, she had ensnared Meng Xingsheng, dragging him down a deviant road that led to his arrest by police and confinement in a labor camp.

Her release happened roughly at the same time as Meng Xingsheng's, yet they hadn't been assigned to the identical labor camp in those days.

Endless days of breaking rocks, extracting stones, and shouldering them on poles had stripped Cui Shuicao of her once-vibrant youth and beauty. Though merely in her twenties now,

she resembled a sturdy farmhand in her early thirties, with parched hair and garments layered in ragged patches that scarcely clung to her frame. She struck one first as utterly unkempt, hardly a step above a roadside beggar.

"Pah! Damn your so-called misunderstanding. Our third brother wants nothing to do with a venomous, shameless wretch like you. Gather your things and head back home; your father and brothers are likely waiting for you to cook and serve them!"

Cui Shuicao's mother had been hauled off to jail back then and remained locked up, since she played a direct role in her brothers' human trafficking scheme.

Her sentence came down to fifteen years of labor reform.

Freedom would return only after slowly enduring the punishment!

"Auntie, I'm pleading with you, please?" Cui Shuicao harbored deep hatred for Wang Guilan. If possible, she'd throttle her right then to clear the path for marrying Meng Xingsheng.

After months back in the village, Cui Shuicao heard from Mr. Cui—no questions needed—that the Meng family had thrived in recent years. They boasted not just a factory worker, but two officials and a college student too, living large among villagers.

Thus, Cui Shuicao swore in secret to reunite with Meng Xingsheng no matter what. Sadly, he ignored her completely. Spotting her from a distance, he'd veer away like dodging filth, afraid her stench would rub off.

It could make anyone lose their mind!

With Cui Shuicao still kneeling and refusing to rise, Wang Guilan snatched a broom and advanced: "You filthy, brazen hussy! Our third brother would stay a bachelor forever before wedding a toxic snake like you! Are you going or not? If not, don't fault me for broom-sweeping you out!"

"Auntie, I'm begging you!"

Cui Shuicao banged her forehead three times against the dirt, sobbing: "Without Brother Xingsheng, my father will heed Jiabao and wed me to Lame Wang from the next brigade. Auntie, show some mercy, I beg..."

"Who're you wailing a funeral dirge for? I'm right here, hale and hearty..." Wang Guilan spat while lifting the broom to strike Cui Shuicao.

Just then, Meng Xingsheng's voice rang from the main room: "Mom, go eat; I'll handle her."

After coaxing Wang Guilan inside and stowing the broom, Meng Xingsheng faced Cui Shuicao with a blank expression: "Get out. Our divorce is long done. If any shred of self-respect remains, stop showing your face and quit making trouble at my home."

"Brother Xingsheng... you really gonna let me wed Lame Wang?"

Cui Shuicao wept bitterly under Meng Xingsheng's unreadable stare: "My father's driving me to my end! Brother Xingsheng, refuse me and you'll next lay eyes on my dead body!"

"If life's worn you out and death calls, go ahead. It concerns me not."

Meng Xingsheng spoke with utter detachment.

Recalling old wounds, he knew this woman had duped him badly. He'd severed family bonds and even schemed to abduct his nephew and niece for profit.

One misstep begat endless errors, all stemming from Cui Shuicao's cunning lies, culminating in... years wasted in labor reform.

Meanwhile, his brothers, aided by the Luo family eldest, achieved great things, yet he... solely because of this woman, endured village scorn, burdened his kin, and loathed his worthless self.

Meng Xingsheng heaved a heavy sigh inwardly; he'd remain unwed forever before entangling again with the creature before him!

"Brother Xingsheng, how can you be this ruthless?"

Cui Shuicao rose from the ground, eyes brimming with despairing tears and agony: "Lame Wang beats folks black and blue. His last wife perished under his fists. You'll stand by while I tie the knot with that monster? Brother Xingsheng, have you erased how madly you once adored me?
