"Sue me?"
Wang Meijuan smashed another plate.
The sharp crash made Liu Chunlan's heart race.
"How do you have the nerve to sue me? Did you tell the police that you took five or six hundred thousand in bride price from me but don't have a single penny left?
"Did you tell the police that you squandered hundreds of thousands of our family's savings?
"Mom, how did I never realize you were so shameless before?"
"You!"
Liu Chunlan suddenly clutched her chest and squatted down, beads of sweat breaking out on her forehead:
"It hurts, Juan'er, my chest hurts so much.
"You can't keep making me angry. I'm old and can't take this stress, otherwise you'll just be waiting to collect my corpse."
Wang Meijuan took two steps back and sneered:
"Old, huh? Now you know how to play the victim?
"Hmph! Collecting your corpse is your son's job. What does it have to do with a married-out daughter like me?
"Mom, listen to me carefully. Don't come looking for me for anything in the future.
"Even if you do, I won't come back. Do you understand?"
Wang Meijuan stepped over the broken plates scattered across the floor and strode away.
Leaving Liu Chunlan and Wang Jianguo behind, their faces covered in tears.
Wang Jianguo pointed at Liu Chunlan and cursed:
"Poisonous woman, you poisonous woman."
Liu Chunlan threw a piece of broken ceramic at Wang Jianguo:
"And what kind of good person are you? No matter how wrong I am, I never cuckolded you.
"Wang Jianguo, how do you still have the face to live."
The Wang family was in complete chaos.
Zhang Cuihua watched from outside the window for a long time before walking through the door, cracking melon seeds.
She stood in front of Liu Chunlan:
"Chunlan, tell me, what on earth is going on with your family?
"When Lin Wanyi was here, the family was so prosperous, lively, and happy.
"Look at it now. She's been gone for less than half a year, and your family is like it fell off a cliff.
"Tell me honestly, do you regret it?
"Do you regret driving Lin Wanyi away?"
Liu Chunlan's chest ached even more.
Zhang Cuihua was deliberately rubbing salt in her wounds.
She was bringing up the very thing she least wanted to hear.
She forced herself to try and stand up from the floor.
But as she pushed down, she realized her hand had landed on a broken shard of a plate.
A piercing pain shot through her palm, mixing with the pain in her heart.
She suddenly collapsed back onto the ground, covered her face, and bawled.
She felt so incredibly wronged.
She had worked hard her whole life to raise three children, two of whom were sons.
She always thought she wouldn't have to worry in her old age.
Her two sons would make money, and she'd have two daughters-in-law to take care of her.
And she had a caring daughter who would always look out for her.
How could her old age not be happy?
But what about now?
It was a million miles away from what she had envisioned.
Neither of her sons listened to her, and her two daughters-in-law were even more unfilial.
Even her daughter didn't want her.
Why was her life so hard?
Why?
The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken her cries became.
And the more she cried, the more her chest hurt.
She couldn't help but clutch her chest again.
Zhang Cuihua suddenly said:
"Liu Chunlan, is there something wrong with your heart? Why do I keep seeing you clutching your chest?"
Zhang Cuihua's words smashed into Liu Chunlan's heart like a heavy boulder.
She became even more frightened.
The chest pain had been getting worse lately. Was there really something wrong?
She needed to go to the hospital for a check-up, right away.
Wang Hao drove his car directly onto the highway.
He only had one thought in his mind right now.
To find Lin Wanyi, to find Wang Keke, to get back his once happy home.
Actually, he had been thinking about this decision for a long time.
Ever since his divorce from Lin Wanyi, he had looked for many jobs around here but wasn't satisfied with any of them.
The pay was either too low, or there was too much overtime.
He had wanted to move to a different city for a while.
Since he was relocating anyway, he might as well move to Lin Wanyi's city.
Maybe he could even save his marriage.
He sped all the way, not resting for several hours.
He just wanted to see Lin Wanyi as soon as possible.
On the other side, Lin Wanyi had been staying with Liu Siyue.
Liu Renzhi even brought their meals to the bedroom.
After eating, Liu Siyue suddenly said:
"Sister, why don't you go sleep with my older brother? I'll feel just as secure with you guys next door."
Lin Wanyi's face instantly turned red.
She quickly explained:
"Yueyue, you misunderstand. I didn't sleep like that last night.
"I really just slept, purely slept. I, I, I..."
The more she tried to explain, the worse it sounded, making it seem less and less innocent.
Finally, she just stopped talking altogether.
Liu Renzhi stepped in to save her from the embarrassment:
"Yueyue, if you keep being naughty, I'll send Sister Wanyi home right now."
"No."
Liu Siyue immediately grabbed Lin Wanyi's hand:
"No, Sister Wanyi, just stay with me for tonight.
"You'll have plenty of opportunities with my brother later."
Lin Wanyi and Liu Siyue lay down together, and Liu Renzhi returned to his own room.
Under the covers, he smelled Lin Wanyi's scent.
Living to thirty-five, he had never desired a woman as intensely as he did today.
He even felt like a pervert, lying on the bed Lin Wanyi had slept in, fantasizing about them being together.
He was going crazy.
Liu Siyue snuggled closely against Lin Wanyi.
Her body was trembling slightly.
Lin Wanyi reached back and hugged her:
"Go to sleep. The baby is still small, and the surgery is very simple.
"Yueyue, don't worry."
Liu Siyue was silent for a moment:
"Sister, do you think I'll never be able to have children in this lifetime?"
Lin Wanyi's heart skipped a beat: "Why would you think that?"
A teardrop from Liu Siyue fell onto Lin Wanyi's hand as she said:
"The first child, I lost it before I even knew it existed.
"When I saw all that blood, I never even thought that it was my baby.
"And this child, I still knew nothing about it.
"I never imagined that I would get pregnant twice by the age of 22.
"Sister, do you think God will punish me for aborting two children in a row?
"Will He think I'm not fit to be a good mother and never give me another child?
"And those angels in heaven waiting to choose a mother, they would probably shake their heads when they see me.
"After all, I'm really not someone who can be a good mother.
"Sister, I'm destined to be lonely for the rest of my life."
Lin Wanyi hugged her even tighter:
"No, silly Yueyue, you can't think like that.
"You have to remember that none of this is your fault. It's all the fault of those bad people.
"Anyone with a normal mind, anyone with proper values, would never blame you.
"Yueyue, you're only 22. You still have a wonderful life ahead of you.
"And those who hurt you have all been punished. From now on, no one can ever hurt you again.
"My sweet sister, sleep peacefully.
"Your future is bound to be filled with happiness."
Liu Siyue finally fell asleep, right in Lin Wanyi's arms.
Lin Wanyi looked at the moonlight outside the window, her heart aching for Liu Siyue, and she remembered her past self.
She felt a heavy sorrow in her heart.
Why is it so hard to be a woman?
No matter how good a woman is, once she encounters a scumbag, a shadow will follow her for the rest of her life.
She prayed to the moon.
Let Liu Siyue be happy.
She has already endured far too much.
The moonlight softly bathed the earth.
Both Liu Renzhi and Lin Wanyi stared absentmindedly out their windows.
Meanwhile, Wang Hao was still driving frantically.
He had only one conviction right now.
To find Lin Wanyi as quickly as possible. He had to be by her side.
He was going to get back his once happy and perfect family.
