Chapter 439 Pain is a Stepping Stone

Sora was speechless. Just when he was about to say something, weakling spirit looked at Lilly. “It’s safe for work, isn’t it?” Gotta confirm something. We have kids here.

Hypocrite ghost said, “Yes. I’m a hypocrite, not a lecher

Harem spirit coughed. Then the hypocrite spirit started telling his story. The nineties was when the nation’s economy took flight, and the people were getting bolder in terms of mindset. Some would even have calendars with bikini models in the background, and life was getting better.

“My neighbor, Lila, had a husband. He loved to gamble when he was alive. They had four children and an old woman living under the same roof. Her husband abused her when he was alive. Lost a lot of money gambling, so he sold everything they had. Lila refused to let him do it, and he would hit her. He broke her leg once, and he poured scalding water down into her throat when he thought she was nagging too much. Said he wanted to shut her up. She lost a leg and her voice because of that.”

He continued, “Their family had nothing, and she raised her children practically all by herself. Most people led good lives, but her family was an exception. They had to forage for food just to keep their bellies full. I would give them a bit of my food because they needed it. Her husband wouldn’t stop gambling, and she threatened him with a divorce. I dissuaded her.”

“What? Why? Her husband’s obviously useless,” harem spirit said.

Hypocrite ghost frowned. “Yeah, you can get a divorce easily in this era, but the nineties were different. You have no idea how bad society would treat a divorced woman. I had to dissuade her, or she’d be a single, crippled, and mute mother raising four kids all by herself. No one would want to marry her, and if you didn’t have a man by your side in the nineties, it’s over for you.”

Josh was speechless. “But it must at least be better than being with an abusive husband.” He couldn’t. understand. He was a chronic gambler, and he abused his wife until she was crippled. That’s DV no matter how you cut it. No way that kind of trash could support his family.

Hypocrite ghost said, “You’re still young, so you don’t understand. Sometimes our emotions get the better of us. She had four kids and an old lady to feed. They would die if she were to get the divorce. Domestic violence was common back in the days. Rampant, even This was nothing.

Lilly was shocked. He broke her leg, and it was nothing? Then what kind of horrors would consitute something?

Hypocrite ghost sighed. “She took her child and tried to leave, and she refused to take care of her husband’s mother anymore. But that’d be really bad forthe lady. She was lying right in front of her house, threatening to take her own life if Lila left.”

was in disbelief. “And?”

it would be bad for an old lady to fend for herself, so…” Lila’s mother-in- law wasn’t kind by any means. She would order her around and tell her to give the best greens she foraged to her. But then, family problems between in-laws were rampant back then. Hypocrite ghost thought it was Lila’s duty to take care of her mother-in-law. If she left her alone,
