Grace Pennington

My husband, Chen Gen, persistently pursued me for three years. Seeing his genuine affection, I married him and moved to the countryside. 
Who knew that my wicked mother-in-law would scold me as a shameless woman because there was no blood on the sheets after our wedding night. 
Even wearing lipstick or a short-sleeved shirt, she would shame me. 
Mama's boy Chen Gen also started to dislike me, calling me second-hand goods, spending his days playing cards and drinking, and forcing me to serve him when he got home at night. 
The vicious mother-in-law spread rumors about me around the village, tarnishing my reputation and even started looking for a new wife for her son. 
With no one to rely on, I could only endure in tears. 
A month later, I found out I was pregnant. The mother-in-law and husband forced me to abort the child whose origin they doubted. 
I refused, so they, along with the Chen Family relatives, crudely and violently aborted my pregnancy. 
The child was gone, and so was my will to live. 
Nearly driven to the edge, I vow to make the Chen Family pay in blood.

My Virgin Complex Husband Insults My Purity; Wicked Mother-in-law Forces Me to Abort

By the time I realized it, the knife in my hand had already been snatched away by Chen Gen.


This bastard! Even at this time, he's using my feelings for him to deceive me!


"You all! Ah! No! Chen Gen! You tricked me! You tricked me again! Ah!"


I knew they were going to take me to the hospital for an abortion. Three big men tied me up tightly, trying to shove me into a car and send me to the hospital.


I don't know where I found the strength, but I fought desperately, screaming and making such a scene that the neighbors gathered around.


Mrs. Chen spoke boldly, shouting at the surrounding neighbors.


"This shameless bitch! Cheated on her husband and got pregnant with a bastard! Can you say our Chen Family could allow this bastard to be born?"


Mrs. Chen slapped me so hard I spat blood, making it difficult to speak, my head heavy and dizzy, but I still struggled fiercely.


"For the last time, are you going to the hospital or not?"


Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth, but my answer was surprisingly firm.


Mrs. Chen punched and kicked me more, yet felt unsatisfied, tearing off my clothes with a rip and leaving me in tatters in front of the neighbors.


To protect my child, I just curled up, dignity forgotten, trying with all my might to shield my baby.


"Everyone, come and see! Look at this sly fox, using her lewd body to seduce men. And she's pretending to be pitiful here! Look how cleverly she's playing the fool!"


Mrs. Chen pointed at me on the ground viciously: "If you don't behave and cooperate, I'll strip you naked and throw you into the pigsty!"


Ignoring everything around me, I remained defiant.


"You're courting death! Strip her and beat her!" At Mrs. Chen's command, several men grabbed my arms and legs, tearing away my remaining undergarments, the ripping of fabric echoing like my shattered heart.


Chen Gen remained indifferent, watching the scene unfold, the scars on my body from his nightly abuse becoming visible to everyone.


"Hey, you can't just beat up people like this, I'm calling the police!"


Chen Gen angrily snatched away the person's phone, raising his hand to scare them off, "She's my wife, I'll do as I please! And this shameless whore, do any of you want her? Should I sell her to you?"


The Chen family's relatives laughed heartily, viewing me as livestock.


Mrs. Chen had lost her patience: "No matter what, we can't let your bastard stay today. Since you're so ungrateful, we won't need the hospital, Dahong, come!"


"Sister-in-law, what are you saying..."


The man was the uncle from the Chen family, always obedient to Mrs. Chen's words.


"What's there to be afraid of! Do it! Get rid of the bastard in the bitch's belly! If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!"


Still, no man dared act, so Mrs. Chen cursed them as useless and kicked my stomach viciously, once, twice, three times...


No one dared stop her, Mrs. Chen's hatred unfurled onto my lower body until blood soaked my lower half, and I lay on the ground, barely conscious.


Seeing I was completely powerless to resist, Mrs. Chen persisted in her attack, warning everyone to keep quiet, saying the Chen family has strict morals, can't tolerate any disgrace, and wouldn't leave a bastard in the world.


Picking up a stick, she jabbed it into my body, the ultimate agony driving a harrowing scream from my lips as I fainted from the pain.


Dimly, I heard a child's voice breaking through the crowd, shouting: "You're all insane! Someone's going to die! Help!"


Then there was noise all around, and Chen Gen gathered people to rush me to the hospital for emergency care.
