"You!"
Liu Chunlan felt a wave of panic; today, everyone seemed to be against her.
She wanted to argue a bit more with Wu Qin, but unfortunately, before the words could leave her mouth, she grew dizzy and collapsed against Wang Hao.
Wang Hao was terrified, completely at a loss for what to do.
Wang Meijuan shouted:
"Take her to the hospital, hurry up and go to the hospital! Lin Wanyi, if anything happens to my mom, if anything goes wrong, I won't let you get away with it."
Lin Wanyi found the noise unbearable. She tossed Wang Hao a bottle of blood pressure medication:
"It's just high blood pressure. Give her one pill and she'll be fine."
Wang Hao quickly opened the bottle, popped a pill into Liu Chunlan's mouth, and then, along with Wang Meijuan, rushed her to the hospital to get her wounds dressed.
After they left, Lin Wanyi asked Wu Qin to stay behind.
She expressed her gratitude: "Wu Qin, thank you for speaking up for me. After all these years, you are the first person in this village to take my side."
Wu Qin waved her hand dismissively:
"It's nothing. Auntie Liu was in the wrong to begin with. Why does she always bully an outsider daughter-in-law like you? I've been sick of her behavior for a long time.
"It's just that you never spoke up or fought back before, so I figured I should keep out of other people's family matters.
"Seeing you stand up for yourself today, I naturally had to help you out.
"Wanyi, if you ever need anything in the future, just call me. We both married into this village; we should help each other."
Lin Wanyi almost shed tears.
Having been married and living here for eight years, this was the first time she had spoken like this with anyone outside the Wang family.
In the past, she always thought about keeping her head down and living her life behind closed doors. Even though Liu Chunlan disliked her, she believed that dirty laundry shouldn't be aired in public.
But now she knew she couldn't live like that anymore.
She had to air it out, let everyone see it!
Let everyone know.
When Wang Jianguo returned home, he didn't see any dinner ready.
With a dark expression, he called out to Lin Wanyi:
"Where's the food? What time is it? Are you trying to starve me to death?"
Lin Wanyi didn't say a word, but Keke spoke up:
"Grandpa, we already ate. Mommy said if you're hungry, you can cook for yourself."
"What?" Wang Jianguo thought he misheard:
"She wants me, her father-in-law, to cook for myself?
"Lin Wanyi, what is the meaning of this? You're not going to let me eat?"
Lin Wanyi finally emerged from her room. She said calmly:
"That's right. Starting today, other than Keke, I will not cook for any of you.
"You all have hands, feet, and money. Are you really going to starve to death?"
Wang Jianguo was furious and immediately called Wang Hao:
"Wang Hao, where are you? Get back here and control your outsider wife."
Still at the hospital, Wang Hao sighed:
"What's wrong now?"
"What's wrong? I worked hard all day and came back to no food, what do you think is wrong?"
Wang Hao sounded a bit impatient: "If there's no food, just cook something yourself."
Wang Jianguo angrily hung up the phone, slammed the door, and stormed out again.
As he walked, he kept cursing:
"Bitch! Damn bitch!
"Let's see how long you can keep this attitude up."
Lin Wanyi felt exceptionally good today. It turned out that blind submission only made her angry.
It turned out that acting a little crazy could truly be liberating for the mind and body.
Humming a tune, she unlocked her phone and suddenly remembered something.
She needed to make money.
She couldn't continue being so depressed and idle.
After the divorce, she would need her own life. She still had to support Keke and her mother.
But what should she do?
The New Year was approaching, so finding a job right now was unrealistic.
She scrolled and scrolled through her phone.
Suddenly, she found a message from a good friend sent half a month ago. At the time, she had completely forgotten to reply because of her father's situation.
Wanyi, there's a scriptwriting project. Are you interested?
I remember you used to write novels. Short dramas are booming right now and there's a huge shortage of scripts. Do you want to give it a try?
Her heart fluttered wildly with excitement.
She immediately replied honestly:
Writing novels was something I did many years ago. Ever since I got married, had a child, and raised her, I've completely forgotten how to do it.
Chen Tingting's reply came quickly, as if she had been waiting for her:
As long as you're willing to learn, you'll pick it up very quickly. I'll send you a few documents to look over.
If you don't know how, I can guide you. If you want to make money, you need to catch this trend.
Sure enough, she sent over several documents. Before Lin Wanyi could open them, Wang Hao and the others returned.
Liu Chunlan's hands were wrapped in layer after layer of gauze.
Seeing Lin Wanyi, she deliberately raised her hands high:
"You vicious thing. The doctor said if we had gone any later, my hands would have been ruined.
"How on earth have I wronged you for you to be so ruthless?"
Lin Wanyi didn't even want to spare her another glance.
She just looked at Wang Meijuan:
"Sister, I recall telling you that this is no longer your home?
"It's getting dark. Shouldn't you be heading back?"
"You!"
Wang Meijuan was fuming with anger.
In the end, it was Wang Hao who pulled Lin Wanyi back into the room:
"Wife, you know my sister's situation. Li Jun is such a jerk, she definitely can't go back and suffer his abuse right now.
"Just let her stay here for a few days.
"Since my mom is injured, she can help take care of the house and cook."
Considering this, Lin Wanyi didn't object further.
But she warned Wang Meijuan:
"Do not come near my room."
Wang Meijuan was still indignant: "Can't you see we're starving after coming back from the hospital? Why aren't you cooking?
"Lin Wanyi, how can you be so oblivious?"
Lin Wanyi repeated her previous stance: "Whoever wants to eat can cook. Starting today, I only cook for myself and Keke."
"You!"
Wang Meijuan had just raised her hand when a glare from Wang Hao made her put it back down.
She made a loud clattering noise in the kitchen:
"Why? Mom, why do I have to cook for myself when I return to my maiden home?
"What kind of logic is this? I refuse to cook!"
