The man beat and scolded her throughout the day to vent his dissatisfaction and resentment, and at night, he tortured Jiang Yun on their bed, making her life a living hell, wishing only for death.
Although the hunter recognized Jiang Yun as the trader he had dealt with before, times had changed. Jiang Yun was no longer a business partner to him; she was merely a tool for producing heirs that he had purchased. He no longer treated her with the courtesy or fawning he had shown in the past. Moreover, the man discovered that Jiang Yun’s health was so poor she couldn't even manage the basic act of getting out of bed to walk, forced to lie there sickly every day. This only made the man feel that his money had been wasted.
Therefore, when the members of the Lanshan Production Brigade finally found Jiang Yun, they saw her face covered in black and blue bruises and unsightly bumps, with disgusting pus oozing from her skin. Her partially exposed body was not left with a single patch of intact flesh. Recalling the youthful, radiant woman Jiang Yun had been when she first arrived at the brigade as a clerk, the members were overwhelmed with sympathy for the broken, hollow-eyed woman lying on the bed. Jiang Hongwei, who had come along, was trembling with rage, his eyes bloodshot. He lunged at the man, kicking and punching him with intent to kill. The members only pulled Jiang Hongwei off after the man’s wailing grew constant and they feared he might actually be beaten to death.
