Lin Wanyi and Liu Siyue teamed up to push Chen Hui out the door.
When she saw Lin Jiajun, Lin Wanyi slapped him on the back of the head.
"Lin Jiajun, do you have a brain?
"Other people try to avoid drinking at weddings, but you? You went and got yourself drunk.
"You really are a piece of work."
Lin Jiajun covered his head and explained,
"I, I... it's my first time, I don't have any experience."
"Don't say another word."
Chen Hui's face flushed even redder.
She dragged Lin Jiajun away, saying as they walked,
"Siyue, I'll come keep you company tomorrow."
As the two went out, they ran into Su Jing, who was just returning.
She asked Chen Hui suspiciously,
"Huizi, what did you do? Why is your face so red?"
Chen Hui fled the Liu family villa as if running for her life.
Getting into the car, she let out a long breath and scolded herself,
"Stupid mouth, why did I talk so fast."
Lin Jiajun, however, had a smile on his lips.
"Wife, I definitely won't let you down tonight."
Inside the Liu family villa.
Su Jing pulled Liu Renzhi aside.
"Renzhi, when it comes to Nanny Wu, you need to be a bit more clear-headed.
"She is, at the end of the day, just a nanny, but I feel like she's starting to put herself in the position of your biological mother."
How could Liu Renzhi not feel it?
For so many years, Nanny Wu had always harbored these thoughts.
Liu Renzhi had known before, but he just hadn't thought much of it.
He had even planned to provide for Nanny Wu in her old age.
But now, he was also gradually starting to feel that something was off.
Nanny Wu was overstepping her bounds.
He told Su Jing,
"Mom, don't worry, I know where to draw the line."
As Su Jing turned around, she suddenly thought of something and called back,
"Renzhi."
"Yeah?"
Liu Renzhi waited for Su Jing to continue, but she just shook her head.
"Never mind, it's nothing major. I won't bring it up."
She didn't say it, but over on the other side, Nanny Wu was talking to Zhou Chenyu.
"Xiaoyu, I see that with Su Jing getting in the way, Renzhi isn't really listening to me anymore.
"But don't worry, Mom still has a way.
"That divorced Lin Wanyi with her deadweight child is absolutely not going to marry Renzhi.
"She doesn't deserve him."
Zhou Chenyu immediately asked,
"What way? Mom, Su Jing agrees to it, and Renzhi likes her too.
"What else can you possibly do?"
Nanny Wu scrolled through her phone and typed a few words to someone unknown.
Then she turned off her phone and told Zhou Chenyu,
"Just you wait. Su Jing thinks that just because she's acted as Renzhi's mother for thirty years, she really is his mother?
"She thinks she can really decide everything for Renzhi?
"What a joke. She wants to be a magpie taking over a dove's nest, but she has to see if his real biological mother is willing."
Wang Family Village.
Liu Chunlan's house was about to be flipped upside down from arguing.
Wang Kai, Wang Hao, and Wang Meijuan all stood fiercely in front of Liu Chunlan.
The first to speak was Wang Meijuan. She looked at Wang Kai,
"Wang Kai, you are the eldest brother, you tell us, how should this matter be handled?
"Hundreds of thousands, at least six or seven hundred thousand! She gave it all to her older brother who fools around and doesn't do an honest day's work.
"For so many years, she hid it and kept lying to us.
"Now the truth is finally out. She only has a little over thirty thousand yuan to her name.
"What do you say we do?"
Wang Kai was so angry his nose was practically flaring off his face.
He had been waiting on Liu Chunlan's hundreds of thousands, and now he was being told there was nothing left.
He absolutely could not accept it.
Tugging at his collar, he pointed right at Liu Chunlan's chest and shouted,
"Mom, is what they're saying true?
"All that money, you really gave it all to Liu Dabing?
"Did you really not consider your own sons and daughters at all?
"What kind of mother are you anyway?"
Wang Hao took a drag of his cigarette and chimed in,
"Not only did she not consider us, she didn't even consider herself and Dad."
After being scolded for ages, Liu Chunlan finally talked back,
"How did I not consider myself? I figured it out a long time ago."
"What did you figure out?"
Wang Kai continued to press, "Tell me, what exactly did you figure out?"
Liu Chunlan was defiant.
"Of course I considered how your dad and I would be provided for in our old age.
"When I have my own money, I take care of myself. When I don't have money, don't I still have you kids?
"Otherwise, why would I have three children? Was raising you just for fun?
"Doesn't everyone say you raise children to protect you in your old age? I raised you all this time, and you're just going to ignore us completely?"
"Hahaha."
Wang Hao actually laughed.
Laughed out of pure anger.
He took a few more fierce drags of his cigarette.
Finally, he ruthlessly stomped out the cigarette butt.
"Where do you get the nerve to talk to me about providing for your old age?
"Liu Chunlan, you really are completely shameless.
"You gave hundreds of thousands to your older brother, and then left your retirement care to your children?
"I'm impressed, I truly am impressed by you.
"I really wish I wasn't born to you. Why did I have to be born to you?"
Wang Meijuan was also furious, so angry she even started to cry.
Crying, she said,
"Mom, I am your daughter. When I was bullied so badly by the Li family, you didn't take out a single penny to help me.
"But then you turned around and gave the money to Uncle without a moment's hesitation.
"What on earth is going through your head?"
"What could I be thinking?"
Liu Chunlan kept explaining,
"He is my older brother, my blood brother.
"When we were young, Wang Jianguo beat me every day. If it weren't for your uncle, I would have been beaten to death by Wang Jianguo long ago.
"If that happened, would you still have a mother around?
"Would you have been able to grow up so healthily?
"So when my brother ran into difficulties, what's wrong with me helping him out a bit?
"This is family love. What exactly did I do wrong that every single one of you insists on accusing me like this?
"Kaikai, Juan'er, Haohao.
"You are the closest of siblings. In the future, if any of you runs into trouble, you must all help each other too.
"You will understand me."
"Understand my ass."
Wang Jianguo, who had been lying in bed the whole time, suddenly used all his strength to smash a thermos bottle at Liu Chunlan.
The bottle was filled with boiling water that Liu Chunlan had just heated up.
The hot water smashed onto Liu Chunlan's arm.
It ran down her arm, scalding both of Liu Chunlan's hands bright red.
Liu Chunlan hopped on her feet and screamed,
"Wang Jianguo, you bastard, what are you trying to do?
"Are you trying to scald me to death?"
Wang Jianguo's mouth hung open for a long time, and finally, he stuttered out a roar,
"My money, give me back my money.
"That is my Wang family's money, give it back to me."
Liu Chunlan then used those bright red hands to slap Wang Jianguo.
"None of your business! Didn't you spend your own money on other people too?
"At least I gave it to my own brother. What about you?
"You gave it to your mistress, to your widowed lover.
"Wang Jianguo, what right do you have to control me?"
Wang Jianguo was slapped so hard he flew into a rage.
"You, you, you... you poisonous woman.
"Liu Chunlan, you will die a horrible death!"
Liu Chunlan hated hearing people curse her like this more than anything.
Especially now that she was old and her days were numbered, she couldn't bear to hear those words.
Thinking again of all that sordid business between Wang Jianguo and Widow Zhang.
Liu Chunlan was beside herself with rage.
She grabbed a pillow from the bed and smothered it over Wang Jianguo's face.
As she smothered him, she screamed,
"Go to hell, Wang Jianguo, go to fucking hell.
"You've been a good-for-nothing your whole life and haven't earned any money.
"Every penny in this house was saved up entirely through my own scheming and hard work.
"I'll spend my money on whoever I please. What's it to you?
"Wang Jianguo, go to hell right this instant!"
