My husband constantly ignored my pleas in my previous life, giving his salary to his first love despite my objections. After giving birth, I couldn't produce any milk due to prolonged starvation. My son cried desperately from hunger. When I finally managed to buy formula and brought it home, my husband snatched it away to give to his first love. "Vicky's milk supply is low too, and she's a widow. Let's give it to her child first," he insisted. I fought to take it back, but my husband knocked me unconscious. I staggered to look for him when I regained consciousness, only to discover my husband at Victoria Langford's house, putting on diapers for someone else's child. My son had already starved to death then, and out of despair, I followed him in death. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back to the moment I first learned of my pregnancy. This time, I chose to terminate the pregnancy and file for divorce.

She had so much news about Raymond and Victoria.Victoria lost the baby, but Raymond married her anyway.Carol gestured dramatically as she said animatedly, "The baby couldn't be saved, and Victoria's womb is injured. She'll probably have trouble conceiving again! Afterward, Victoria started making a scene. She threatened to report Raymond for killing her child if he didn't marry her. Raymond had no choice but to tie the knot."Carol clicked her tongue disapprovingly. "Raymond had a perfectly good life and threw it away for that vixen!"I laughed inwardly. I knew exactly what kind of man Raymond was. Neither of the two was any good, so they deserved each other.After their marriage, their life descended into chaos. They fought every other day and sometimes even viol
Raymond's face flushed crimson, his lips trembling. Even so, he did not dare speak a word.This harassment had been going on for a month, and I had finally reached my breaking point. I snatched the snacks from his hand and hurled them forcefully into the trash."Raymond, when will you stop? What the hell do you want?" I shouted with disgust, my voice carrying months of suppressed fury.He froze, then fixed me with an intense gaze as he feigned sincerity. "Minnie, let's get back together. I've realized I still love you. I loved your diligence before, and I love how captivating you are now."He paused briefly, then added, "I've only ever thought of Vicky as a sister."His words nearly made me retch.Sister? The audacity!I scoffed without restraint. "Do you sleep with your sister? Raymond, do you think I'm an idiot?"His expression turned awkward as he stammered defensively, "I-I didn't... I-I've never slept with her...""You know the truth yourself!" My tone was glacial. "Raymo
Victoria clung to Raymond's arm with the air of a victor. "Minnie, if you really like living here, I could have Ray find you a temporary job at a chain store. Working there would be better than at some individually-owned shop, wouldn't it?"I gave her a sideways glance and said, "My current job is quite good. The salary is much higher than before."Victoria's expression froze. Clearly, she had not expected this response. She looked at my clothes again, and there was a flash of envy in her eyes."Your clothes... are quite fashionable."I replied casually, "Of course. I wear only the latest styles."Victoria bit her lip, unwilling to back down. "Hmph, it's just cheap clothing. What's so special about it?"I deliberately looked them up and down, my gaze lingering on Victoria's worn-out high heels and then over Raymond's faded, washed-out shirt. My tone carried a hint of mockery as I said, "Better than some people who can't afford a single item. Life seems rather difficult, doesn't i
Over the next few days, I learned the business from Lily.She taught me how to attract customers, how to showcase clothes, and how to haggle effectively.I discovered Lily had an exceptional talent for reading people. She could understand a customer's preferences perfectly after just a few sentences. She was also quick-witted, able to describe an ordinary polyester shirt as if it were a masterpiece.Young women would listen, entranced, and reach for their wallets without hesitation."Minnie, you've got a good foundation. You're pretty and look good in everything. From now on, you'll be my model. Just stand in front of the stall, and I guarantee the orders will double!" Lily told me while arranging clothes.I felt a bit embarrassed by her compliments. Though she was still a newcomer in the business field, I was surprised by how successful Lily's business was. Even the salary she offered was twice what I had earned before.When I received my first month's pay, my hands trembled wit
"You're a woman too. Can't you be more understanding?" Raymond said.I had spent three days bedridden after my miscarriage, and he had not visited once. He even moved Victoria into our home and now wanted me to be understanding of this homewrecker who caused my miscarriage."Fine. Since it has come to this, let's get divorced right now."Victoria's eyes reddened as she pretended to be on the verge of tears. "Minnie, don't be angry. I'll leave right away. I have my pride too."I grabbed the vase from the table and smashed it violently on the floor. "Shut up! You two are disgusting!"Raymond carefully cradled Victoria, checking to ensure the ceramic shards did not cut her.Finding Victoria unharmed, he shouted furiously at me, "Have you lost your mind? Vicky's pregnant! Fine! Let's get divorced now! You're just a country bumpkin. Let's see what kind of life you'll have after the divorce!"Victoria covered her mouth and laughed softly in his arms, her eyes full of mockery.The div
I recalled what Raymond was like before we were married. We had met at a coworker's wedding.After the ceremony, Raymond somehow obtained my contact number. He would 'coincidentally' appear on my path home from work every day.Gradually, we became familiar with each other. He was attentive and caring, and he was concerned about my safety when I took night shifts. He would follow behind me from a distance until he saw me safely enter my dormitory.When I was hospitalized and about to lose my job, he gave half a year's worth of his salary to my supervisor to secure my position. I only learned about this from my coworkers after we got married.They all said I was lucky to have Raymond and that he was the perfect husband.They said that as a skilled technician, countless women wanted to marry him. Indeed, his kindness was beyond reproach in the early days of our marriage. He lived frugally but always remembered to buy me pretty clothes. He never looked down on my rural background and
