Chapter 1060: Had to Join the Workforce

Chapter 1060: Had to Join the Workforce

Depressed, Chu Xiaoran drank until he was dead drunk. When he got home and heard the sound of the child crying, his anger immediately erupted and he beat up Xia Xiaoman who didn’t even know what happened.
Chu Xiaoran just wanted to vent all the pent-up frustrations in his heart, so he hit very hard. He beat Xia Xiaoman until her nose was broken and her face was completely swollen.
The drunk Chu Xiaoran vented all his violent anger on Xia Xiaoman, but Xia Xiaoman just endured it silently.
When Chu Xiaoran’s head cleared up the next day and saw what an unbearable sight Xia Xiaoman had become, he immediately knelt down in front of Xia Xiaoman to beg for forgiveness. He kept apologizing to Xia Xiaoman nonstop.
It was only because he had too much pent up in his heart. He really wanted to climb back up in order to give her and their child a blessed life.
Xia Xiaoman had never seen Chu Xiaoran in such a wretched state. She hugged Chu Xiaoran and immediately forgave him.
Now that Chu Xiaoran no longer had money, he lost all of his energy and just stayed at home all day. He didn’t even get up for meals, Xia Xiaoman carried all three meals to him.
He no longer bothered with his appearance and didn’t even shave. He looked completely decadent. It was clear that he hadn’t snapped out of the shock of being scammed. It wasn’t possible to find a single trace of the past Chu Xiaoran.
Chu Xiaoran stayed at home without doing anything, but there were always necessary expenditures. The child’s milk powder and diapers cost money. The rent and utility bills, food, drink, and clothes, all cost money.
Xia Xiaoman was originally about to ask Chu Xiaoran for money, but then she recalled that Chu Xiaoran had recently been scammed out of his money so bringing it up would probably make him feel worse.
All the pressure of survival now fell on Xia Xiaoman. Xia Xiaoman, who had never joined the workforce before, now had to work to earn money.
Xia Xiaoman wasn’t suited to working. Most companies didn’t want Xia Xiaoman even though she had a college diploma. On one hand, it was because she was also pretty well-known in T City since she was the girlfriend of Chu Xiaoran who had once been the god of T City. And on the other hand, it was because she always looked so lost and helpless, so it was obvious that she didn’t really have any work skills.
In the end, Xia Xiaoman got a job washing dishes at a small restaurant. Due to her clumsiness, she broke a plate. When she got paid, she had to pay for the plate, so in the end she didn’t earn much.
She had to keep washing dishes nonstop the entire day. Her waist felt like it was about to snap and her hands were wrinkled from being soaked in water. When she got home, the child was wailing and Chu Xiaoran was on the sofa watching TV, completely ignoring the child.
Xia Xiaoman hastily coaxed the child, then started making dinner.
After a day of this, Xia Xiaoman’s face was completely pale. When she went to sleep, her waist hurt so badly that she couldn’t even shift in bed, but when the child started crying in the middle of the night, she still had to get up to coax the child.
Despite things being like this, Xia Xiaoman still didn’t say a single thing to Chu Xiaoran. She got up early the next morning to make breakfast, feed the child and change his diapers before heading out the door. Meanwhile, Chu Xiaoran was still in bed sleeping.
Chu Xiaoran who had nothing to do always felt vexed, so he used alcohol to drown his worries. He started drinking impulsively and when drunk, he could never stop himself from hitting Xia Xiaoman.
In the past, Chu Xiaoran had abused Xia Xiaoman emotionally, but now it had gotten to the point that he had started physically abusing her. Chu Xiaoran who had suffered such a huge defeat could only resort to affirming his sense of existence with Xia Xiaoman.
When sober, he’d always repent in front of Xia Xiaoman and repeatedly guarantee, swear, that there wouldn’t be a next time, but whenever he was drunk, he’d forget all about it.
Venting like this was addictive. Xia Xiaoman’s repeated forgiveness made Chu Xiaoran become completely unrestrained and he even started to feel that this was natural.
