Chapter 490 Selfishness

The Mo family

Rumors abounded in Mo Family Village. Just a few days ago, Auntie Sun's affair with a man outside her marriage had already become the talk of the town, treated like a joke over tea and dinner. Then, to everyone's shock, the village head announced that Auntie Sun had allegedly murdered someone, stolen all of Mo Xiaoqiang's belongings, and fled. This news only fueled more gossip among the villagers.

In reality, Mo Xiaoqiang was penniless. What belongings could he have? The Mo family's wealth was all controlled by Old Lady Mo. His most valuable possessions were a few new outfits, reserved for visits to the brothel or for attending weddings to save face, all of which Auntie Sun had taken with her.

Mo Xiaoqiang hid at home, daring not to step outside, fearing people would point at his spine and laugh about how his wife had stolen a man outside and how he, a grown man, had become a cuckold, thereby bringing disaster upon the unmarried men and women of the village.
