The phone was hung up.
Liu Chunlan's chest really didn't hurt anymore.
Right now, she was panicking, panicking terribly.
What was Wang Jianguo doing?
She called Wang Meijuan again.
Before she could even speak, Wang Meijuan said first:
"Mom, I really don't have time. You can look for Wang Kai, Wang Hao, or even Lin Wanyi. They are your sons and daughter-in-law, go find them."
Liu Chunlan said in disappointment:
"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for your father. Isn't he at home? Where is he?"
Wang Meijuan looked around the house:
"Dad went out. He said it's rare for him to come to the city, so he went out for a stroll.
"If you're looking for him, call him. I'm very busy, Mom, please don't come to me for every little thing."
Liu Chunlan quickly left the hospital.
When she returned home, Wang Jianguo was happily drinking with a plate of peanuts in front of him.
Liu Chunlan snatched away his peanuts:
"Drinking? You're still drinking.
"Wang Jianguo, where did you just go? Tell me, where did you go?"
His good mood ruined, Wang Jianguo's face darkened:
"Liu Chunlan, who do you think you are to boss me around?
"Bring those peanuts back to me."
Liu Chunlan refused:
"Tell me first, where did you just go?
"Where exactly did you go?"
Wang Jianguo's eyes darted around:
"Mind your own business. I'll go wherever the hell I want.
"Why do you care?"
Liu Chunlan was trembling with anger. Wang Meijuan asked her:
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Dad just went out for a stroll, what are you doing?"
"What stroll?"
Liu Chunlan really wanted to flip the table in front of Wang Jianguo:
"Tell Juan'er, where exactly did you go?
"Wang Jianguo, how old are you? At your age, what are you trying to do?"
Wang Meijuan was completely confused, and Wang Jianguo's face grew even darker:
"Liu Chunlan, don't act crazy with me. It's rare for me to come to the city, and you want to drive me back again, don't you?"
Liu Chunlan shed tears of anger. She grabbed Wang Meijuan's hand and screamed in a breakdown:
"He went out to find a woman, Juan'er. This old bastard actually went out to find a woman.
"I was in the hospital, in so much pain I felt like dying, and I couldn't even bear to spend money on seeing a doctor, but he actually took money to find a woman.
"Tell me, shouldn't I be angry, Juan'er? You have to stand up for me, you must stand up for your mom."
Wang Meijuan never expected Wang Jianguo to do such a thing either.
She instinctively retorted, "That's impossible, Mom. Dad was only out for less than an hour. It's impossible, absolutely impossible."
"What do you mean impossible?"
Liu Chunlan screamed, "I heard it all on the phone, Juan'er. Help me, you have to help me."
Wang Meijuan turned to look at Wang Jianguo:
"Dad, is what Mom saying true? Did you really go out to find other women?"
Wang Jianguo took another sip of liquor:
"Nonsense. I just went out for a walk, don't listen to her drivel.
"Is your dad that kind of person?"
Liu Chunlan was shaking with fury, so angry she could barely breathe.
She reached out to grab Wang Jianguo's phone:
"Show me your phone, let me check it. One look and we'll know."
Wang Jianguo refused to let her see it.
Liu Chunlan was instantly overwhelmed with absolute disappointment: "You have a guilty conscience, Wang Jianguo. You did go out to fool around with women.
"Have you no shame? You're already a grandfather, and you still have those dirty thoughts?
"You are a total disgrace."
Wang Jianguo finally snatched his phone back and slammed his hand on the table:
"My private life is none of your damn business, Liu Chunlan. Mind your own."
Liu Chunlan refused to back down. She stepped forward again to tug at Wang Jianguo's clothes:
"Give me the money, give me all the money.
"Wang Jianguo, those are our coffin savings. What right do you have to spend it on other women?
"Give it to me, transfer it all to me."
Slap!
Wang Jianguo suddenly delivered a vicious slap to Liu Chunlan's face:
"You cheap bitch, have I been too nice to you?
"Liu Chunlan, I'm strong and healthy for my age. I'll fool around with as many women as I want. You think you can control me?
"In the past, relying on that hooligan Liu Dabing, you gave me attitude every single day.
"I've put up with you for decades. Well, look now, Liu Dabing has been arrested, hahahaha.
"Let's see who will help you now, Liu Chunlan. From today on, you'd better tuck your tail between your legs in this house.
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Liu Chunlan tried to fight back, but Wang Jianguo slapped her several more times, smack, smack, smack.
Her face, which hadn't even recovered from being beaten by Lin Wanyi and Zhao Pei, was now slapped by Wang Jianguo until it swelled up like a steamed bun.
She plopped down on the floor and wailed loudly:
"Oh God, what sins have I committed? Why is everyone turning against me one by one?"
Wang Meijuan went to pull her up: "Mom, get up."
Liu Chunlan cried even louder: "Juan'er, you have to stand up for me, you must stand up for me.
"Wang Jianguo is bullying me too much."
Before Wang Meijuan could speak, Wang Jianguo grabbed his liquor bottle and headed out the door.
He didn't even spare a single glance at Liu Chunlan on the floor.
Wang Hao was also feeling terrible inside.
He frantically sent messages to Lin Wanyi using different phones:
[You better behave, or else I'll send all of this to Lin Jiajun.]
[Lin Wanyi, no divorce. Do you hear me? I won't let you go.]
[Don't ever think about leaving me for another man. Lin Wanyi, you are mine for the rest of your life.]
Lin Wanyi felt restless as she looked at the messages on her phone.
What should she do?
Call the police?
She cared about her reputation. Unless it was an absolute last resort, she didn't want to take that step.
She had Zhao Pei stay with her, telling her:
"Sister, since you no longer have a home, why don't you come back to my maiden home with me when the time comes? You can find a job there, and you won't have to be all alone."
Zhao Pei actually didn't know where she could go either; she was like a drifting duckweed.
The home she had so desperately wanted to return to no longer had her father and mother.
Going back would only leave her with heartbreak.
But she still had to go back.
She told Lin Wanyi: "Mom and Dad have been waiting for me to return. I must go back to burn some paper money for them and tell them I've come home.
"I need to let them reincarnate in peace, so they have no more lingering attachments."
Lin Wanyi didn't say much more. She simply bought her a new phone, purchased her train ticket, and transferred ten thousand yuan to her.
She said, "Sister, I don't have much money, but take this to tide you over for now. I believe you'll soon find a job and be able to survive."
Zhao Pei gripped the phone tightly and shed tears. At the final moment before entering the station, she told Lin Wanyi with red eyes:
"I will repay you, believe me."
After seeing Zhao Pei off, Lin Wanyi instantly felt relieved.
Aside from those videos in Wang Hao's hands, there was nothing else that could threaten her anymore.
Thinking of this, she called Wang Hao:
"Wang Hao, let's meet."
Receiving the call, Wang Hao was ecstatic.
He thought Lin Wanyi had finally compromised; he thought his wife had come back to him.
But he was wrong.
Lin Wanyi was still coming to discuss the divorce.
Only this time, her terms had changed.
