795 What’s There to Be Afraid of?
In this place, good women were ruined.
Madam Li’s injuries proved this.
Madam Li knelt down with a thud. There were tears in her eyes. They were hatred, humiliation, and determination. She said firmly, “Sir, if you want my help, please take me and my daughter away from here. Otherwise, please forgive me for being incompetent and unable to help.”
Jiang Zhengjun did not expect Madam Li to threaten him. He immediately flew into a rage and said in a deep voice, “Madam Li, how dare you!”!!
Madam Li’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Sir, I’m very bold. Since you’ve found me, you should know my reputation as a fierce woman, right? In all the villages, who doesn’t know that I, Madam Li, hit my man? Who doesn’t know that Sun Xiaoyong didn’t even dare to fart after being scolded by me? I’m already so deep in trouble that I don’t have any hope of living. If you need me, please agree to my request. If you don’t need me, then forget it. I’m just giving it a try. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Madam Li’s voice was choked, but every word was loud and powerful.
She had nothing left. She only had her life left. What was there to be afraid of?
Jiang Zhengjun frowned.
He did not answer Madam Li and left.
He had to spend money again. He had to go back and ask Su Xiaolu if she really needed Madam Li.
Madam Li looked at Jiang Zhengjun’s back and fell to the ground. She smiled self-deprecatingly.
Then she got up and went out. It was just hopeless. It wasn’t like she hadn’t experienced it before.

When Jiang Zhengjun returned, he asked Su Xiaolu, “Miss Su, do you really need Madam Li?”
Seeing him frown, Su Xiaolu said speechlessly, “Lord Jiang, of course. What’s wrong? Does Madam Li refuse to come, or is the brothel unwilling to let her go?”
“Madam Li wants me to redeem her and her daughter before she’s willing to come. Otherwise, she won’t come even if she dies.”
Jiang Zhengjun was depressed. It seemed that this expense could not be avoided.
Su Xiaolu did not expect Jiang Zhengjun to be so petty, but on second thought, there was indeed no need for Jiang Zhengjun to redeem Madam Li. However, Madam Li went all out. If he did not agree, she would refuse to cooperate. It was useless to bring a person who was not cooperative.
Su Xiaolu looked at Jiang Zhengjun and said, “We have to bring Madam Li here. She will be very useful. If you don’t believe me, just watch. If she’s useless, redeem Madam Li and her daughter. I’ll repay you then.”
Since Su Xiaolu had already said so, Jiang Zhengjun thought about it and felt that it was not a loss. He immediately agreed.
If Madam Li was useful, it proved that he had not spent his money for nothing. If Madam Li was useless and Su Xiaolu took care of it, he would not lose out.
Hence, Jiang Zhengjun returned again and redeemed Madam Li and her daughter. In just a few minutes, Madam Li’s face was covered in more wounds. On the other hand, her daughter, Sun Guifang, was unscathed.
When she saw Jiang Zhengjun, Madam Li pulled her daughter to kneel down and kowtow to thank him.
The banging sounds made Jiang Zhengjun feel uncomfortable. He immediately reached out to help Madam Li up. “There’s no need to do this. I hope you can cooperate well.”
After kowtowing a few times, Madam Li’s forehead was bruised. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, sir. We will definitely cooperate.”
Sun Guifang’s forehead was also swollen from kowtowing. The 13-year-old girl did not cry or make a fuss. She leaned tightly against her mother, her eyes filled with a different kind of maturity.
Jiang Zhengjun recalled what the brothel keeper had said when he redeemed the mother and daughter.
“Madam Li is really a ruthless woman. She’s willing to go all out and protect her daughter from me. She’s ruthless enough, so I’ll naturally fulfill her wish. If she refuses to let her daughter be humiliated, she’ll have to suffer twice as much herself. Some customers have special fetishes. If she’s willing to do it, I’ll let her daughter off for the time being. She’s lucky to be free so quickly.”
Madam Li was not fat or tall. She was a very ordinary woman, but there were many things she could do that other women couldn’t.
Jiang Zhengjun took them away and couldn’t help but ask, “After the case is over, are you and your daughter still going back to the village?”
Madam Li replied naturally, “Yes, there’s land in the village. That’s ours. We’ll have a place to stay when we go back. If we go elsewhere, there might not be a place for us to stay.”
Jiang Zhengjun didn’t ask further.
Madam Li and her daughter got into the carriage.
Jiang Zhengjun brought Madam Li and her daughter back and settled them down.
Tonight, Sun Xiaoyong tactfully quietened down. It could be considered a quiet night.
The next morning, Su Xiaolu woke up and asked Jiang Zhengjun to bring Madam Li along after eating.
Seeing Madam Li, Su Xiaolu smiled and greeted her. “Auntie Li, did you know that he has become a demon now?”
Madam Li was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously glanced at Jiang Zhengjun. Seeing that Jiang Zhengjun did not object, she shook her head at Su Xiaolu and said, “Miss, we haven’t known anything since he sold us that day. What kind of demon did he become?”
“Fox-faced demon.”
Su Xiaolu described him.
Madam Li sneered. “He actually became an animal. He deserves it. He deserves it. None of the things he did should be done by humans. It seems that the heavens have listened to me, which is why he became an animal. Damn it, I even wished for his safety with a trace of hope. I even believed him, which is why my daughter and I fell into danger!”
“Auntie, can you tell me about that day?”
Su Xiaolu immediately caught the main point. She took out a hundred taels of banknotes and handed them to Madam Li. She said, “Auntie, these banknotes are for you. Tell me everything.”
With that, Su Xiaolu said to Jiang Zhengjun, “Lord Jiang, let’s not meet him first. We’ll talk after listening to the story.”
Madam Li looked at the hundred taels in her hand. Her hands were trembling, but she did not hesitate and immediately put them away.
She did not care what Su Xiaolu’s motive was. She only knew that she was rich and wanted to hear those things. There was nothing she could not say.
When they returned to the room, Madam Li immediately said, “This story is a little long. Miss, please allow me to explain in detail. I’ve been competitive and hot-tempered since I was young. Sun Xiaoyong has two brothers above him, and his sister-in-law is not someone to be trifled with. He’s often ostracized at home. He got a matchmaker to arrange a marriage, and his request was for a woman who could talk. The matchmaker introduced me, and he agreed.”
Madam Li’s gaze was a little complicated. She swallowed and continued to talk about the past. “At that time, my reputation was already a little bad. Everyone thought that a wife like me was difficult to discipline. When I married him, he was considered gentle. I thought that I had met a good person, but that wasn’t the case. It was because he was very cowardly. Be it his in-laws’ preaching or his brothers and sister-in-law’s bullying, he didn’t say anything. I couldn’t take it lying down. I had to fight for a vegetable leaf and a grain of rice. In the beginning, he really liked me. Later on, he believed that people who were afraid of their wives were incompetent. He wanted to hit me, so how could I tolerate him? I was injured, and so was he. I couldn’t do anything to him, and he couldn’t do anything to me.”
