The Male Lead’s Wife in the ’80s

Chapter 1 - A Woman So Unconscientious Would Surely Be Struck Down By Lightning (1)

“Aye. Have you guys heard about what’s happening at the Chi’s? I’ve heard that the Chi’s new wife is having an affair. She is getting on with the Village Head’s son in the hut right now as we speak.”

“Really?  Chi YunChen’s wife is that blatant?”

“Right? That new wife was already fuzzing on her wedding day. Seemed she looked down on the Chi’s and looked down on Chi YunChen. But I didn’t expect her to be that blatant, having an affair just three days after the wedding. Tsk, tsk, tsk. The Chi’s must have some bad karma. They’ve spent so much money to bring in this new wife, and all she did was turn around and get on with another man.”

“Yikes. Lucky my wife isn’t like that at all. If she is anything like that, I would break both of her legs!”

“Hey, let’s go and check it out. I’ve heard that the new wife and DaShun are still inside the hut!”

“Let’s go. Let’s go. We must go and see this.”

A few of the villagers, hoes in tow, chatted as they headed toward the east side of the village excitedly. 

At the same time, Chi YunChen was also heading toward the east side of the village.

Next to him, there was a young woman around 20 or so.

The young woman said to him, “Third Brother, Duck Egg must have been mistaken. Man-er might not like you, but I just don’t think she’s someone who’d have such corrupted social morals.”

While Hu YuJiao was comforting him with her tender words, a sinister look flashed through her eyes. 

She was the one who orchestrated the entire incident today.

She had DaShun, the Village Head’s son, wait at the hut first before tricking and leading Su Man-er to the hut. 

She then gave a few cents to Duck Egg and had her spread the word around the village that she witnessed Su Man-er having an affair with DaShun and they were over at the hut together to get it on. 

She wanted to completely ruin Su Man-er’s reputation. She wanted Chi YunChen to be so disgusted by her that he’d sweep her out of his house!

Oh, how she hated Su Man-er! She hated her for taking Chi YunChen away from her and robbing her of the happiness that should have belonged to her!

Chi YunChen’s look was somber. He looked straight at the road ahead of him and wasn’t responding to Hu YuJiao at all. 

Hu YuJiao gathered that Chi YunChen must be furious right now and that he must be thinking about how to teach Su Man-er a lesson and how to kick her out of his house. 

She smiled secretly to herself. In her eyes, there was pride for a job well done.

Inside the hut on the east side of the village.

Su Man-er had a splitting headache when she woke up.

The first thing she did after she had woken up was to look around herself. Her eyes widened immediately, and she sat up from the pile of straw under her. 

She was situated inside an extremely crude looking hut. 

There was no furniture at all inside this hut, and the mud walls around her had already started to fall apart. 

And next to her, there sat a boorish man who was looking at her in a very vulgar way. 

The man was a little bit surprised by her waking up, but he immediately reached his hands toward her and said, “You have woken, Man-er? Well, now that you are awake, let’s get on with it.”

Su Man-er was alerted by the words “get on with it”.

She wasn’t an innocent girl who didn’t know better. She had a pretty good idea what he meant by “let’s get on with it”.

She frowned as she looked at the man before she leapt up onto her feet and quickly moved over to one of the corners of the hut. 

Another sharp pain came from the back of her head as soon as she moved.

Along with the sharp pain, there were memories that didn’t belong to her that came pouring into her head. 

Leaning up against the wall, Su Man-er quickly organized some of the memories.

Her hand was on her forehead, melancholy was visible on her.

She, an elite of the flower demon clan, had transmigrated! And into a cliché period novel as the female supporting character with the same name as her!

The name of the book was “Rebirth To A Farming Family: The Hot Wife With a Dimension”.

In the novel, Hu YuJiao, the female lead married Su Man-er’s cousin in her first life. She was abused by the cousin her entire life and lived a horrible life. After her rebirth, she swore she would carry out the worst of all revenge. 

First, she drove a wedge between the male lead and Su Man-er’s relationship and caused Su Man-er to be despised by the male lead. In the end, Su Man-er was kicked out of the household entirely.

Then, Hu YuJiao deceived the male lead into marrying her.

Hu YuJiao, after marrying the male lead, worked on becoming wealthy with the help of her dimension while continuing her revenge against Su Man-er and her cousin. Finally, she was able to back both of them into a corner and causing them to commit suicide. 

And today was the day that female lead carried out her first of a series of revenge against Su Man-er!

Translator’s Rambling: What Hu YuJiao tried to do was heinous. It’s far beyond just wanting to sour the male lead and the original owner’s relationship so she can have a chance at him. Back in those days, a woman having an affair could be sentenced to a horrible death. I’d equivalent her actions to a premeditated homicide.
