Wang Meijuan refused to agree, sitting stubbornly on the bed:
"This is my room, and none of you can kick me out."
"Lin Wanyi, how dare you hit me! I'm not done with you today!"
"Not done, huh?"
Lin Wanyi tied up her hair and rolled up her sleeves:
"Come on then. You said you're not done, so let's see what you're going to do about it."
Wang Meijuan shrank back toward the headboard. Lin Wanyi was different from before.
She was so fierce now.
But no matter how fierce she was, Wang Meijuan couldn't yield.
If she gave in today, she would never have the chance to move in again.
So she would rather die than leave this place.
But Lin Wanyi gave her no chance.
Lin Wanyi grabbed Wang Meijuan by the hair and yanked her toward the floor:
"Get down! Are you going to get down or not? Believe it or not, I'll pull all your hair out!"
Wang Meijuan desperately protected her hair, her body involuntarily tumbling off the bed with Lin Wanyi's pull.
She screamed:
"Wang Hao, I am your sister! Are you just going to stand there and watch her bully me?"
"Mom, save me! Save me!"
"You said it yourself, I am your daughter, I am part of this family, and I can live wherever I want."
"Mom, save me!"
"Ah! It hurts! It hurts so much!"
Wang Hao held Keke and didn't move an inch.
Liu Chunlan's heart ached terribly, but since she couldn't move her hands, she could only join Wang Meijuan in shouting at Wang Hao:
"Haohao, do something quickly! If you don't intervene, your older sister is going to be beaten to death."
"Hurry up!"
Wang Hao finally reached out to Lin Wanyi, shielding Wang Meijuan's hair:
"Honey, let it go. My sister knows she's wrong now. She is my older sister, after all. Let her go."
Lin Wanyi didn't let go. She asked Wang Meijuan:
"Are you getting out? Are you still going to stay in my house? Are you still going to steal Keke's room?"
No matter how tough Wang Meijuan was, she knew that a wise person submits to circumstances.
She finally nodded:
"I won't stay, I won't stay, okay?"
"I'm leaving right now, okay?!"
Lin Wanyi yanked her hair hard and threw her aside, causing Wang Meijuan's head to hit the corner of the wall.
She clutched her head, groaning for a long time, and finally, Liu Chunlan nudged her out the front door.
Downstairs in the residential compound, Wang Meijuan was completely dissatisfied:
"Mom, why? This is the house Haohao bought, with the money he earned all by himself. Why won't she let me stay?"
Liu Chunlan glared at her:
"A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. Don't you even understand that?"
"Ever since Lin Wanyi came back from her parents' house, she's been like a completely different person, hitting anyone she sees. Why do you have to clash head-on with her right now?"
"Listen to your mother. One month. In at most one month, she'll behave."
Wang Meijuan didn't understand:
"Why one month?"
Liu Chunlan whispered a few words in her ear, and Wang Meijuan finally let out an oh:
"So in a month, she will definitely be pregnant with a son?"
"Definitely! Your brother has been working hard these past few days, giving Lin Wanyi that medicine to drink every night."
"Hmph!"
She glanced upstairs:
"I'll let her be arrogant for a few days. Let's see how she acts out in a month."
"Once she's pregnant, won't she be at our mercy?"
"Then you can live wherever you want, right?"
Wang Meijuan also looked upstairs:
"Lin Wanyi, just you wait!"
Upstairs, Lin Wanyi changed the bedsheets and duvet cover for Keke.
She told Keke:
"From now on, this is my baby's room. Remember, it's yours, and you must never give it up to anyone, understand?"
Keke nodded firmly, and Wang Hao smiled:
"No one will try to take Keke's room again. Honey, don't be so tense."
Lin Wanyi ignored him, and Wang Hao added:
"It's rare for us to come to the city. Let's go buy some things for the New Year."
"Keke, do you want to go buy lanterns with Mom and Dad?"
Keke jumped up happily:
"Dad, I also want to buy chocolate. You said you would buy me chocolate for the New Year."
"Okay, I'll take my baby to buy them. We'll buy whatever you like."
"Ask Mom to come along!"
Keke excitedly grabbed Lin Wanyi's hand.
Lin Wanyi didn't want to go.
But she didn't want to disappoint Keke either.
She nodded anyway.
She figured she would divorce Wang Hao sooner or later, so she might as well let Keke spend a few more days with him.
Otherwise, it was uncertain whether she would ever see Wang Hao again in the future.
After all, they would be separated by over a thousand kilometers.
The supermarket was packed with people. The New Year was approaching, and every family was shopping for holiday goods.
Buying snacks, buying candies, buying couplets and lanterns.
Everywhere was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Only Lin Wanyi was weighed down by her thoughts.
She had originally wanted to divorce before the holiday, but she was afraid that provoking Wang Hao would lead him to call her parents' home.
She was worried about her mother's health; she couldn't take that risk.
There was also one most important reason.
She had to spend the New Year at the Wang family's house this year.
She was going to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the past eight years during this Spring Festival.
She was going to turn the Wang family upside down this Spring Festival.
Otherwise, getting a divorce wouldn't feel satisfying at all!
Thinking of this, she started filling the cart with snacks and candies along with Keke.
Pistachios, almonds, and macadamia nuts that she had been reluctant to buy before, she bought them all today.
Chocolates that she used to buy only one or two pieces of, she bought a whole bucket today.
As long as it made her happy, she tossed everything into the shopping cart.
Wang Hao trailed behind and wanted to remind her several times, but in the end, he just smiled and said:
"Buy it, if you like eating it, buy it. It's the New Year, the point is to be happy!"
With all this shopping, Wang Hao spent over a thousand yuan at checkout.
His heart was pounding, but he didn't dare say a word.
Carrying several bags out the door, they bumped into Wang Kai and Chen Qingxiu, whom they hadn't seen in a year.
"Big brother!"
Wang Hao was pleasantly surprised.
Wang Kai just gave a simple greeting: "You guys came here to shop too?"
He looked at the shopping bags in Wang Hao's hands:
"Struck it rich, huh? Buying so much?"
Wang Hao smiled: "No, what riches? It's just that the kid likes to eat them."
"Big brother, it's only a few days until the New Year. When are you and sister-in-law going back for the reunion dinner? Mom has been looking forward to it for a long time."
"She said she called you, but you never told her exactly when you'd be back."
Wang Kai turned to look at Chen Qingxiu. Chen Qingxiu stayed silent, as if she hadn't even seen Wang Hao and Lin Wanyi.
Finally, Wang Kai said awkwardly:
"Tell Mom not to worry about us. We'll let her know in advance when we're going back."
After saying that, he caught up with Chen Qingxiu's pace and quickly walked away.
Lin Wanyi suddenly chased after them:
"Sister-in-law, come back on the 28th of the lunar month. Have a reunion dinner here first, and then you can go to your family's place for New Year's Eve."
Chen Qingxiu looked at her a bit strangely.
She wasn't familiar with Lin Wanyi, and the two rarely had any contact.
Lin Wanyi whispered something else in her ear.
A smile crept onto her cheeks, and she gave a rare nod:
"Alright. Go back and tell Mom that we'll be back on the 28th on time."
Wang Hao had no idea what Lin Wanyi had said:
"What exactly did you say to sister-in-law? She hasn't been willing to come back for a reunion dinner for so many years."
"How did you convince her?"
Lin Wanyi didn't elaborate, only saying:
"You'll find out when the time comes, Wang Hao. Tell your mom to prepare well."
"After all, your big brother hasn't been back for the New Year in so many years!"
This New Year was definitely going to be quite spectacular!
