“This Time, I Won’t Marry a Wife Who Bleeds Me Dry”
By Zhan Changfeng
Chen Fan had lived for thirty-eight years, and spent them living like a dog.
For his family, he worked from dawn till dusk laying bricks, delivering goods, and taking odd jobs. Every hard-earned penny went to his wife, Su Meijuan, who poured it into the bottomless pit that was her family: buying her younger brother a house and a car, and paying off his gambling debts.
Chen Fan wore the cheapest clothes from street stalls and ate cold steamed buns with pickled vegetables. He didn’t even dare go to the hospital when he had a fever.
In return, she took him for granted, betrayed him by cheating during their marriage, and her family only squeezed him harder and harder.
For the sake of his young daughter, he put up with it and remarried her.
All he got in return was even more ruthless exploitation and mockery.
In the end, overwork made him ill, and his heart died before he did. He breathed his last in a cold rental apartment.
When he opened his eyes, he had returned to the day before his wedding.
Tomorrow was the day his nightmare would begin.
Looking at the dowry list his mother handed him, he remembered the despair and miserable death of his previous life. Chen Fan’s gaze turned icy, and he said each word deliberately:
“I’m not getting married.”
Living again, he would tear apart the exploitative marriage, protect his parents, seize the opportunities of the times, and turn his life around!
As for his brother-obsessed ex-wife and her greedy family?
They could get lost as far away as possible!
This time, he would live for himself!
