Li Suhua did not accept the one thousand yuan from Wang Hao.
She pulled Lin Wanyi aside.
"Tell Mom, what exactly is going on between you and Wang Hao? He makes over ten thousand a month, doesn't he give you a single cent?"
Lin Wanyi didn't dare to say it. When they first got married, Wang Hao would give her his salary card, and she never spent money recklessly.
Two years ago, they used all their savings to pay the down payment for an apartment in the city.
After that, for some unknown reason, Wang Hao found an excuse to take his salary card back, instead giving her a family supplementary card with a limit of three thousand a month.
For the past few years, she had been living off this three-thousand-yuan family card.
At first, she thought it was no big deal. They were a family, and it didn't matter who held the money.
But now she realized that it wasn't just money; it was Wang Hao's hand gripping her throat.
Whenever he was unhappy, he would suspend her card.
Without money, what could she do?
Li Suhua's brows furrowed tightly.
"Wanyi, you married far away, and we don't know how you are really doing over there.
"Every time we ask, you say you are fine, very fine, but are you really?
"Yesterday, Lin Jiajun said he wanted to go back with you to pick up Keke. Think about it, do you want him to go?
"I miss Keke too. I haven't even met her once."
Lin Wanyi's tears fell drop by drop. She had originally planned to come back and take Lin Jiajun over to help; she had planned it all along.
But her mother's health was so poor. If Lin Jiajun left and something happened to her mother, what would she do?
Lin Jiajun finally came downstairs, carrying a backpack.
"Sis, I'll go over with you to take a look. After all these years, I've never been to your house once. Just treat it as me taking a trip."
Lin Wanyi wanted him to go in her heart, but before she could speak, Wang Hao handed her his phone.
Liu Chunlan had sent a message:
[Lin Wanyi, if you don't behave and dare to bring anyone here, you will absolutely not see your daughter when you come back.]
Lin Wanyi felt the world spinning.
She tightly gripped Lin Jiajun's hand.
"In a few days, wait until I go back first and get the house sorted out, then you can come in a few days, okay?
"Don't worry, I will definitely welcome you."
Lin Jiajun stared intently at Lin Wanyi for a long time. Finally, he let go.
"I'll take you to the airport."
Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly loaded the luggage into the car.
Lin Jiajun kept his mouth shut the whole way. Upon arriving at the airport, he grabbed Wang Hao's collar and said,
"If anything happens to my sister and Keke, I won't let you off!"
Lin Jiajun waited until Lin Wanyi went through security before he turned around.
Lin Wanyi hurriedly made a video call to Wang Meijuan. She needed to see Keke, she absolutely had to see Keke.
This time, Keke answered the call quickly. "Mom, when are you coming back? Keke misses you."
Lin Wanyi's heart settled slightly.
Wang Hao tried to put his arm around her shoulder, but she dodged him.
Lin Wanyi made up her mind. This time when she went back, she absolutely had to get a divorce.
Marrying far away was a decision she made alone back then, and now she had to win this divorce battle on her own too.
She couldn't let her maiden family worry, especially her mother.
It was another two hours on a plane and several hours in a car.
Lin Wanyi went to Wang Meijuan's house immediately. She had to pick up Keke first.
From a distance, she saw Keke crying alone at the door, while Wang Meijuan's son, Li Borui, was lighting a firecracker and throwing it at her feet.
Lin Wanyi was terrified and screamed, "Li Borui, stop throwing firecrackers!
"Keke, run!"
Wang Keke ran toward Lin Wanyi with her arms outstretched, crying.
"Mom, you're finally back! Mom, I missed you so much."
Lin Wanyi hugged Keke with teary eyes. She missed Keke too; she had been so worried that she hadn't slept well for days.
Hearing the noise, Wang Meijuan came out. "Oh, sister-in-law is back. Then hurry up and take your money-losing burden away. She's annoyed me to death these past few days, fighting with my Li Borui every day."
Lin Wanyi looked down at the hole blown in Keke's shoe by the firecracker, filled with anger.
She confronted Wang Meijuan, "Who is fighting who? I just saw Li Borui throw a firecracker at my Keke's feet.
"Look at her shoes, there are several big holes. Weren't they all blown up by Li Borui?"
Wang Meijuan was displeased by the questioning. "Kids playing together, what's so strange about that?
"Besides, it's just a ruined shoe, what's the big deal? As an aunt, don't you even have this much tolerance?"
Wang Hao also came to pull Lin Wanyi. "Say a few words less."
"Why should I say less?"
The anger Lin Wanyi had accumulated over the past few days at her maiden home finally erupted completely.
"Today he dares to throw firecrackers at Keke's feet, tomorrow he'll dare to throw them at her head. You don't educate him properly and still call it a small matter?
"Since it's a small matter, then let me throw one back at him."
As she spoke, she snatched the firecrackers from Li Borui's hand, lit one, and threw it at him.
Wang Meijuan was terrified. She grabbed Li Borui and ran.
The firecracker went off with a bang, and Li Borui burst into loud, frightened tears.
Wang Meijuan was furious. She pointed at Lin Wanyi's nose:
"Are you crazy? Are you trying to blow up my son?"
Lin Wanyi slapped her hand away. "Didn't you say it was just a small matter?"
Wang Meijuan was left speechless. Lin Wanyi pushed her aside and went to pack Keke's clothes.
Unconvinced, Wang Meijuan stomped her foot and asked Wang Hao:
"Are you not going to manage her? Just let her go crazy? Haozi, she is your wife. If you keep spoiling her like this, she's going to fly to heaven.
"As the saying goes, three days without a beating and a child will scale the roof to rip off tiles. I think you just beat her too little."
Li Jun, coming out of the house with a cigarette between his fingers, slowly said,
"Hey! Wang Meijuan, you got that right. You really did.
"Just wait and see how I deal with you after they leave."
Wang Meijuan immediately shrank back and stopped talking.
When Lin Wanyi led Keke home, Liu Chunlan blocked the doorway with a broom.
Wang Hao asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Liu Chunlan extended the broom and swept it toward Lin Wanyi:
"Sweeping away bad luck, sweeping away misfortune! She just came back from the dead; how do I know if she brought back any dirty things?
"You're not allowed into my house until you're swept clean!"
Just as the broom was about to hit her, Lin Wanyi snatched it away and threw it directly at Liu Chunlan's face:
"Since it's bad luck, and since it's misfortune, then I'll give it all to you!"
The broom smacked into Liu Chunlan's face, and she hurriedly patted her mouth:
"You're crazy! That's a broom, how could you throw it at my face!
"Lin Wanyi, I think you've gotten arrogant after a trip back to your maiden home."
"Yes!"
Lin Wanyi showed no mercy. She had already decided on the plane that this time she came back, she would go crazy.
In the past, she was so obedient and virtuous, but what did it get her?
Now, she had changed.
She grabbed the broom and swept it across Liu Chunlan's face again:
"You didn't know, did you? I'm carrying my dad's ghost with me right now. Liu Chunlan, provoke me again, and I won't let you off easy."
Liu Chunlan's eyes widened, and the next second she started wailing at the top of her lungs:
"You damned outsider! Why don't you just die!
"I'm going to beat you to death! I'll beat you to death right now!"
