GUIDE TO TAME MY VILLAINOUS HUSBANDS

Where are they hiding----------------------

Mo Qiang cleared her throat after she was praised by Wen Gui, though she had a thick skin it became slightly thinner when she was praised for her ruthlessness.

" Ahem, now that we are done," she turned to look at Su Jiu and asked, " What should we do with him?"

Though Su Jiu was a pitiful mer, she was also a pitiful woman all right because of him, Mo Qiang had to withstand all the squeaking and flurried actions of those old mers. They all looked at her as if she was going to tear their clothes and have her way with them every time she went out! It was embarrassing!

Su Jiu shivered as he looked at Madam Lian who was on the ground. He never thought that his wife whom he was so scared of would one day lay on the ground like a defeated warrior, he turned his head and looked at the Mo family before lowering his head and whispering, "D..Don't hurt me.... I ... I will be a good mer."

His lips were pale as he gritted those words out, every time he was getting beaten up by Madam Lian, he would say those words and she will let him go. Maybe ... if he pleaded like this in front of Mo Qiang and the rest, they will not beat him too harshly.

"Do you think we are going to let the matter of you accusing my daughter go just like that?" Wen Gui angrily spoke as he glared at Su Jiu who lowered his head and did not speak anymore. He knew that he was in the wrong—— but what was he supposed to do? If he did not listen to his wife then she would have beaten him until he died.

Mo Qiang looked at Su Jiu who seemed to have accepted his fate, her eyes flickered before she put on a big smile on her face and stepped close to the mer who closed his eyes instinctively when she took a step close to him as if waiting for the blow to land on his face.

" Don't worry, I am not going to hit you ...I just want to know what is Madam Lian's prized possessions."

Her voice landed gently on the old mers ears as he snapped his eyes open and looked at Mo Qiang with shock flickering in those light grey eyes.

" What...?" He asked.

Mo Qiang shrugged and then without changing a fact explained, "As you already saw, Madam Lian joined hands with those officials who were supposed to collect compensation and deliberately hitched the price higher which allowed her to take half of the compensation and then live a comfortable life. Don't you think that we need something in exchange for all the financial loss that we have suffered?"

" I...." Su Jiu opened his mouth but he was stopped by Madam Lian who made quaking and whiny sounds. She glared at Su Jiu and even though she couldn't lift her hand or move, she still incited a terror like never before in Su Jiu's heart.

With terror coursing in his heart, he lowered his head and did not speak. However, how can Mo Qiang leave the matter so easily? She had heard from the spirits that this mer was often beaten and brainwashed by his wife, thus she immediately stood in between the two and then swiftly spoke, " Mister Su, I am not trying to cause conflict between the two of you but as you know, now that Madam Lian's treachery is out in the open ...she will lose everything. Most probably she will have to lie in bed in some rotten caring centre as for the debts that she owes..." Mo Qiang trailed off before pointing at him and said, " You will be the one handling them, do you want that?"

Su Jiu shook his head at once, he was just a mer who did not know any better. At his home, he was pampered young master and once he married off, he was beaten black and blue by his wife while staying at home and acting like a home maker. How can he pay the debts?
