Pretty idiots are born to be played with and ruined by their husbands.

Chapter 26 What did you just say about my wife?

It was a face wide open in terror, the muscles in its face completely stiff, and the face covered with dried marks left by tears and blood.

And in front of him, in room 906, one could peek through the crack that had been pushed open.

Blood was everywhere, on the walls and the floor.

Splashing, flowing, a splash of red.

Several dismembered body parts lay soaking in the pool, already white and wrinkled, while on the doorknob on the inside of the room, a severed hand, cut off at the wrist, clung tightly to the surface...

The head with the same face as him rolled out from behind the door with a thud. Most of the nose and face were cut off, and the head stared wide-eyed at the door as if it had died with its eyes open, with bloody tears streaming down its face.

He couldn't understand why he hadn't escaped through that door, which was right in front of him. Oh, because his arm had been severed, he couldn't turn the doorknob... Oh, I see... Oh, I see...

As the elevator descended, Ruan Zhijuan belatedly realized upon reaching the eighth floor, "When I came up, I think I was so busy eating cold noodles that I didn't press any floor buttons..."

How did they get to the ninth floor?

However, why did she smell of meat? Ruan Zhijuan sniffed and thought it smelled like meat that had been cooked and rotten for too long under high temperature.

……

Around 6 PM, at the construction site.

"Wang Fucai just left like that? Leaving us with this bloody mess that we don't even know what happened to. What if we really attract some dirty stuff?" Liu Aren muttered to himself as he idly turned over the cement.

"He's the one enjoying the good life and making big money, while we're the ones who got into trouble." His face was ashen, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He had been playing cards late into the night, but he was having bad luck and kept losing.

"I was a little late for the assembly a few days ago, and he deducted half a day's wages from my pay. This money has been tied up for several months and won't be paid out anytime soon."

"It's still better to have someone like Xun Ge," Li Siguang said, continuing on the topic of wages. "Although it's less, at least I can see the money every day."

The long-term workers on the construction site are usually paid by the day, with food and accommodation provided, and a living allowance of about two hundred yuan. They are paid every three months, or at the end of the year based on the amount of work done.

Only Zhou Gangxun settled accounts on a daily basis, firstly because he negotiated it himself, and secondly because the project was nearing completion when he arrived.

However, his wages were generally lower than those of the long-term workers, usually only 30 yuan a day, which was more than 100 yuan less than others a month.

Feng Agou, who was passing by and dumping sand, chimed in, "He's short over a hundred. That shortfall is almost enough to feed a family for a month. But with his wife like that, I don't think even a hundred a day wouldn't be enough. I don't know how he can afford it."

Li Siguang glanced at Feng Agou but didn't say anything.

He and Zhou Gangxun were neighbors. Although they weren't very close, they didn't have the habit of gossiping about others.

Last night, I lent them my refrigerator to store some things. Zhou Gangxun also gave them more than half a watermelon, which was very sweet. He and his wife haven't finished eating it yet, so they're keeping it in the refrigerator.

"If he can't afford to raise him, someone else will." Liu Aren looked around, then nudged Li Siguang with his elbow, signaling him to come over and listen. "I'll tell you..."

"Last night after I finished work at eight o'clock, I went to buy cigarettes. Not far away, I saw Wang Fucai and Zhou Gangxun's wife together, carrying big bags and small bags. There was a hotel right next to them. What do you think is going on?"

As Li Siguang listened, he tilted his shovel and threw some sand towards Liu Aren. "What does this have to do with anything? Don't talk nonsense. The two of them have a great relationship."

For some reason, the more Liu Aren talked about Zhou Gangxun and his wife, the more inexplicably uneasy he felt.

Liu Aren clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, patted his trouser leg, and continued, "That day, when Zhou Gangxun's wife came to see him, the way Wang Fucai looked at her, I don't believe he didn't have feelings for her. With Zhou Gangxun's wife's soft and submissive appearance, maybe the two of them had already been having an affair behind the scenes..."

Li Siguang interrupted by throwing the shovel on the ground with a bang, saying, "You can't say things like that carelessly. You should be more careful in the future, or it won't be good if Brother Xun hears you."

Liu Aren pouted and said sullenly, "Old Li, you're just a spoilsport. Zhou Gangxun isn't here. What's wrong with gossiping a bit? Besides, it's not just me talking. Everyone's talking. Can you control what we say? Isn't this the only thing we do to pass the time on this construction site?"

"Go ahead and gossip, I'm going to eat." Li Siguang stuck the shovel in the ground and headed towards the lunchbox collection point.

"Old Li, wait for me, I'm coming too." Feng Agou also put down his work and went to eat.

Liu Aren kicked a stone in the direction Li Siguang and his companion had left, and said with dissatisfaction, "What's the rush? Do you think you can starve? Are you a starving ghost?"

After saying that, he turned around and saw Zhou Gangxun standing silently behind him, holding something behind his back. Liu Aren was so startled that his heart tightened. "Xun... Brother Xun, you haven't left yet... huh?"

"Okay, right away," Zhou Gangxun replied, his dark eyes fixed on him, before he walked away.

Seeing that Zhou Gangxun was going to hand over his shift, Liu Aren finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around cursing, and said in a loud voice, "You scared me...you startled me. You walk without making a sound, are you a ghost? And you look at people like that. No wonder his wife cheated on him with another man and made him wear a green hat..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sentence that instantly chilled him to the bone.

"By the way, I heard what you just said about my wife."
