Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 668 - 646: The Miserable State of Li Fugui

"Spare you? My father-in-law begged you like this back then, right? And you, did you spare him?"

"I... I just wanted to teach him a lesson. Who knew he was in such poor health? I swear I didn’t do it on purpose. Really. Let me go, please. If you let me go, I’ll definitely go to the old man’s grave and kowtow to beg for forgiveness. I’ll do whatever you say in the future, I won’t cause any more trouble. I’m begging you." Li Fugui, a man over fifty, was so terrified that he wet himself, his voice full of tears.

"I’m asking you, back then I sent a letter to my home. What did you do with it?"

"Letter? When?" Li Fugui hesitated for a moment and said.

Lin Guozhi could obviously see his hesitation and squinted, saying, "Are you sure? I don’t have time to waste words with you. Whether you say it or not, I can find out, but... if you find some attitude, and I’m in a good mood, maybe I can spare your life, otherwise..." As he said this, Lin Guozhi mercilessly cut off Li Fugui’s nose.

This brutal method was completely unlike the usually amiable person.

"Ah, my nose, my nose!"

"Are you gonna talk or not? I’m asking you this."

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk. There was indeed a letter from you back then. I was selfish then and wanted to use that letter to threaten Liang Hongmei. But who knew, before I could take any action, the letter disappeared. It was kept in my house then, I thought my wife took it, and I even beat her up for it. But she always denied it, so I eventually believed her. Really, I really lost it. It was clearly in my house, and I don’t even know how it disappeared, but I promise, my wife didn’t take it, she really didn’t." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Threaten my wife? What are you planning to do to threaten my wife?" Lin Guozhi’s face was unreadable, but the knife in his hand was glaringly visible in the dark.

"I... I," Li Fugui’s face was twisted in pain, stammering, he dared not speak out. He knew if he said it, Lin Guozhi definitely wouldn’t let him go.

"Not talking?"

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk! I just wanted to sleep with her." Before Lin Guozhi could speak, Li Fugui quickly explained, "I was blinded back then, I know it’s wrong now, I dare not anymore, brother, boss, spare me, please. It’s been so many years, I didn’t get my way, right? You be generous and forgive me. I know I was wrong."

"Dare not? If I hadn’t come back, can you tell me that’s really what you think?" Lin Guozhi said, slashing his face again.

Li Fugui was so numb with pain that he knew the promised mercy to spare his life was all a lie, today, Lin Guozhi definitely came to kill him.

Li Fugui knew he was doomed at Lin Guozhi’s hands today. He stopped begging for mercy, spat in a ’frap’ on Lin Guozhi.

Lightning struck through the sky, and the rain poured heavier. Several mud streams flowed down the hill. The river at the edge of the village soon filled. It was enough to collapse a small cottage.

The heavens were kind, a heavy rain washed the mountains clean.

Lying on the bed, Liang Hongmei finally opened the mouth she’d kept shut for long, "Guozhi, did you just...?"

"Don’t ask, Nannan, don’t ask anything, nothing happened, understand?" Liang Hongmei’s words were interrupted by Lin Guozhi hugging her.

He knew he couldn’t hide it from them, but some things were better understood without it being said. He didn’t want his Nannan living with guilt for the rest of her life.

In the dark, Liang Hongmei nodded, buried her head in Lin Guozhi’s arms, smelled the soap scent on him, sighed, and felt a lot more at ease.

Lin Guozhi patted her back, changed the topic, "With me, don’t worry. What do you need to prepare for tomorrow, I’ll have Ah Hui and the others go take a trip."

"Just buy a few sets of bowls and chopsticks. And oil too."

"Okay," Lin Guozhi kissed Liang Hongmei’s strands of hair, soothing her to sleep.
