Liu Chunlan was annoyed just seeing Zhang Cuihua, especially since she was holding her precious grandson in her arms.
Liu Chunlan felt even more irritated.
She didn't want to talk to Zhang Cuihua at all, but Zhang Cuihua wouldn't let her off the hook.
Seeing her not responding, Zhang Cuihua continued:
"Heh, what's wrong? Cat got your tongue?
"Liu Chunlan, I heard you've been setting up blind dates for Wang Hao everywhere this month.
"You even went to see a fool, didn't you?
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity. Even a fool looks down on your family.
"Hahaha, I really feel so sorry for you. Don't you all agree?"
The villagers laughed, each one happier than the last.
Liu Chunlan's chest ached again. She frowned and clutched her chest:
"Shut up! Zhang Cuihua, shut your mouth! Why would my son look for a fool?
"Are you kidding? He is a handsome, talented college graduate making ten to twenty thousand a month.
"With such great qualifications, why would he settle for a fool?
"He has plenty of options; he just hasn't found anyone good enough for him."
"Heh!"
This time it was Wang Xiue who spoke:
"Chunlan, stop pretending. I heard ages ago that Wang Hao lost his job. He got fired, didn't he?
"I also heard he sold his house in the city. So now he has neither a job nor a house, right?"
After saying this, she deliberately took Lin Wanyi's hand:
"Wanyi, you need to think this through.
"This Wang Hao is no longer the man he used to be. He has no job and no house.
"Right now, he couldn't even find a divorced woman to marry him.
"Let me tell you, he is completely out of your league now.
"Don't be stupid and remarry him, you hear me?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Before Lin Wanyi could speak, Liu Chunlan grew anxious:
"Wang Xiue, don't you dare sling mud at my son.
"What do you mean he got fired and has no job? He fired his boss, his boss didn't fire him!
"As long as he wants to, with his degree and abilities, finding a high-paying job is a piece of cake.
"He is just resting at home temporarily. Stop spreading rumors about my son."
"Hmph!"
Wang Xiue continued cracking melon seeds:
"Liu Chunlan, just wait and see what kind of good job your son can find."
Lin Wanyi didn't know Wang Hao had lost his job, and she didn't care either.
Since Wang Hao refused to divorce, her only option was to sue.
She turned to leave, but Liu Chunlan immediately blocked her path:
"You can't leave. I said you can't leave.
"You are a woman my son has already used up. Where do you think you're going?"
Lin Jiajun also raised his voice:
"And what if we are leaving?"
Wang Jianguo, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, waved his hand impatiently:
"You can never keep someone whose heart has changed.
"If you really want to go, then get lost, but you have to leave behind the 500,000 yuan my son gave you.
"That is my son's money. What right do you have to take it?"
Lin Wanyi understood instantly.
What they were really trying to do today.
It wasn't that they couldn't bear to part with her as a cheap daughter-in-law; it was mostly about the money.
It was the 500,000 yuan Wang Hao had given her.
But that was hers to begin with. It was their marital joint property; why shouldn't she get a share?
After Wang Jianguo said this, Wang Hao spoke up first:
"Dad, why are you saying that? I'm not refusing the divorce for the money.
"I just don't want a divorce. I just can't bear to let Lin Wanyi go."
"But she insists on leaving!"
Wang Jianguo wanted to beat his idiot son to death. After he winked frantically, Wang Hao finally understood.
He also turned to look at Lin Wanyi:
"Fine, my dad is right. A forced relationship won't work.
"If you insist on a divorce, then give the money back to me.
"Lin Wanyi, 500,000 to buy your freedom. That's a good deal, isn't it?"
Wu Qin couldn't stand it anymore. She said:
"Wang Hao, how can you be so untrustworthy? Going back on your word like this?
"You are husband and wife. Your money is her money. Why shouldn't Wanyi get her share?"
"Hmph!"
Liu Chunlan pointed at Wu Qin's nose:
"Mind your own business! Why are you so nosy? My family's affairs don't need your interference.
"Besides, my son earned all this money. Lin Wanyi enjoyed eight years of luxury at home without earning a single cent.
"Why should she get a share of my son's hard-earned money?
"I've said it. Today, you either hand over the 500,000, or you stay in my house and continue being my son's wife.
"Of course..."
After saying this, Liu Chunlan turned back to look at Lin Wanyi:
"As long as you stay here peacefully, know your place, and don't cause any trouble.
"And give me a big, fat grandson, then our Wang family definitely won't make things difficult for you.
"Lin Wanyi, you are thirty years old and dragging along a money-losing burden. It won't be easy for you to find someone else.
"My son is your best choice."
"Choice my ass!"
Lin Jiajun angrily retorted:
"My sister is so beautiful, so what if she's thirty?
"She's not old. There are plenty of men waiting to court her.
"It's not like she can't live without your Wang family.
"Let me tell you, stop scheming against my sister, and especially stop scheming for that money.
"That belongs to my sister."
Wang Hao didn't hear anything else; he only heard that plenty of men were courting Lin Wanyi.
His eyes turned red, and his voice sounded crazy:
"Lin Wanyi, did you really seduce wild men behind my back?
"I knew you wouldn't behave. I knew I couldn't let you go. Just as I thought.
"Just as I thought!"
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Lin Wanyi:
"Get back to the room! From today on, I'm going to lock you up and not let you see anyone.
"Especially men.
"Damn it, the moment I relax a bit, you go out and fool around.
"Get inside!"
He pulled hard, but unfortunately, he grabbed Lin Jiajun's hand instead.
Lin Jiajun backhanded him with a punch to the face:
"Wang Hao, don't you dare lay another hand on my sister."
Wang Hao and Lin Jiajun began to scuffle again.
As he fought, Lin Jiajun shouted at Lin Wanyi:
"Go, sis, hurry up and go.
"I'll catch up in a bit."
Lin Wanyi wanted to step forward to help Lin Jiajun, but Liu Chunlan reached out for her again:
"You can't leave! You bitch, you are not allowed to leave!"
She didn't manage to touch Lin Wanyi, because Zhang Cuihua and Wang Xiue blocked her way.
Zhang Cuihua whispered to Lin Wanyi:
"Go, hurry up and go. Your brother is a grown man, he'll be fine.
"Leave quickly."
Liu Chunlan cursed loudly from behind Zhang Cuihua and Wang Xiue:
"Don't leave! Lin Wanyi, you are not allowed to leave!
"You are a daughter-in-law of our Wang family, and you will be a daughter-in-law of our Wang family for the rest of your life!"
Lin Jiajun and Wang Hao were still fighting, and he continued to shout:
"Go, sis, leave quickly!
"Go out and call the police."
Wu Qin also told Lin Wanyi:
"You go first. I already called the police just now. Your brother will be fine."
Lin Wanyi still wanted to go up and help Lin Jiajun, but she was surrounded by several women and ushered out of the courtyard.
She was quickly led outside the village by them.
They all said:
"You go first. Your brother will be fine.
"This village only lacks women; it never lacks men.
"Hurry up and go. You can go to the town and bring the police back."
Lin Wanyi decided to listen to them, but she didn't see the taxi she had arrived in.
It had left.
The driver had taken double the fare and left.
Wu Qin grew a bit anxious: "Wait here. I'll call my husband right now to come back and drive you out of here."
Before she could even make her call, a black car pulled up in front of Lin Wanyi.
