She had just opened the wardrobe when she heard Liu Chunlan's voice.
She yelled,
"Lin Wanyi, you bitch, it really is you.
"I didn't believe it when Old Man Chen said so. Aren't you supposed to be in the city?
"How did you run over here?"
She spoke while reaching out to grab Lin Wanyi.
"You wretched thing, tell me, what exactly are you trying to do?
"You are still carrying the Wang family's precious grandson in your belly, what are you trying to do?
"With such heavy snow, cars can't even drive on the roads. How did you get back?"
Lin Wanyi didn't want to pay attention to her. She continued trying to open the wardrobe door, but Liu Chunlan directly grabbed her and pulled her aside.
Her face darkened.
"Tell me honestly, how did you get back? What did you come back for?"
"For what?"
Chen Guanshan glared fiercely at Lin Wanyi.
"What do you think she came back for? Didn't she bring those outsiders? Otherwise, with the roads completely covered outside, how could they have found their way here?
"Liu Chunlan, I warned you a long time ago to keep an eye on your daughter-in-law and stay out of my family's business.
"But now she actually brought these outsiders in. What do you say we do about it?
"Liu Chunlan, Wang Jianguo, tell me how we are going to handle this."
Wang Jianguo smoked with a grim expression, while Liu Chunlan looked like she wanted to beat Lin Wanyi to death.
Causing trouble day after day, she hadn't stopped for a moment since she returned to her maiden home.
It was incredibly annoying!
But just as she raised her hand, Lin Jiajun stepped in front of Lin Wanyi.
He shouted loudly,
"Just try touching my sister! Do you think I don't exist?
"All of you here, every single one of you, are guilty of harboring a criminal.
"Liu Siyue was trafficked here. Which one of you dares to say she isn't here?
"Who dares to say it?"
Inside the wardrobe, Liu Siyue was growing weaker and weaker. Clothes covered her face, and she was on the verge of suffocating.
She tried with all her might to burst out of the wardrobe, but her consciousness was gradually fading.
She wanted to call out for her older brother but couldn't make a sound. She wanted to call out for Lin Wanyi but couldn't either.
In her heart, she screamed, "Older brother, older brother! I am here, I am here!"
More and more members of the Chen family gathered.
Nearly half of the villagers who could come had arrived.
The plainclothes police officer brought by Liu Renzhi flashed his badge.
"We are police officers. Do not interfere with our investigation.
"Anyone who can provide clues about Liu Siyue will definitely be rewarded."
Someone asked hesitantly,
"Rewarded with what?"
Before the police officer could speak, Chen Guanshan immediately coughed.
"We are all from the same village. Do you not want to stay in this village anymore?"
The person immediately shut their mouth.
Lin Wanyi was extremely anxious. She knew Liu Siyue didn't have much time left.
Without saying a word to anyone, she turned around and prepared to pull open the wardrobe again.
At that moment, the phone rang. It was Wang Hao calling.
He had finally realized that Lin Wanyi was missing.
He had been waiting anxiously all morning for Lin Wanyi to come find him. He waited until past eight o'clock, still rejoicing, thinking that Lin Wanyi had regretted her decision.
He thought Lin Wanyi wasn't going to get a divorce anymore.
But to his surprise, she had disappeared, and Lin Jiajun had disappeared with her.
No matter how much he asked Li Suhua, she wouldn't tell him where Lin Wanyi had gone.
He had no choice but to call, but Lin Wanyi simply wouldn't answer. Her mind was entirely focused on Liu Siyue.
Since she didn't answer, Liu Chunlan called Wang Hao herself.
"Son, where are you? That damn Lin Wanyi has come to the village, don't you know anything about it?"
Wang Hao genuinely didn't know. He asked,
"What did she go to the village for?"
Liu Chunlan said crossly,
"She has gone crazy! She brought a few strangers to the village to cause trouble for Chen Daniu's family.
"Hurry up and tell her to go back!"
Liu Chunlan handed the phone to Lin Wanyi, but Lin Wanyi completely ignored it and continued trying to pull open the wardrobe.
Chen Daniu stood stubbornly in front of the wardrobe, blocking it.
Lin Wanyi was almost certain now that Liu Siyue was inside.
Liu Renzhi was certain too. He stepped forward with the plainclothes officer, but Chen Guanshan and the other men blocked the wardrobe completely.
He narrowed his vicious, triangular eyes.
"This is my house, and this is our Wang Family Village. Let me see who dares to act wild in my house today!"
Liu Renzhi didn't want to waste another second talking nonsense with them. He had been here for so long and hadn't heard a single sound from his sister.
She must be terribly weak.
At this thought, he kicked out at Chen Guanshan.
"Get out of the way! Otherwise, I'll tear your house down!"
There was no way Chen Guanshan would move, so Liu Renzhi threw a punch at him.
The men of Wang Family Village all surrounded them.
Chen Guanshan shouted loudly,
"Beat them! Beat these outsiders out of here! Once they are gone, I'll let you all play with that bitch for three days and three nights."
The men grew excited, and Liu Renzhi erupted in fury.
He and the plainclothes officer threw endless punches and kicks.
In less than two minutes, all the men of Wang Family Village lay defeated on the ground before him.
Lin Jiajun dragged the men away one by one, and Liu Renzhi finally opened the wardrobe.
Before his eyes were piles of foul-smelling clothes.
He didn't see anyone.
But Lin Wanyi shouted, "Pull the clothes away! Hurry and pull the clothes away! I see her feet."
Liu Renzhi's heart pounded wildly. He grabbed the clothes on top and pulled them away.
Liu Siyue's pale face, clinging to her last breath, finally appeared before him.
He stared blankly at Liu Siyue. He couldn't believe that this bruised, swollen, and emaciated woman was his bright and beautiful sister.
Lin Wanyi quickly pushed him aside.
"What are you standing there for? Carry her out! She's too weak.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Liu Renzhi finally snapped back to his senses. With trembling hands, he lifted Liu Siyue out.
He saw the tears falling from the corners of Liu Siyue's eyes and saw her gently open her mouth to call out with a breath as faint as a thread,
"Older brother!"
He couldn't control the panic in his heart, but Lin Wanyi ran into the kitchen and poured a cup of hot water for Liu Siyue.
She brought it to Liu Siyue's lips. "Drink, you must drink this.
"Liu Siyue, your older brother is here. You must hold on, do you understand?"
Liu Renzhi's eyes were red. He kept calling out to Liu Siyue,
"Yueyue, your older brother is here. Quick, have some water, hold on.
"Your older brother is right here. No one will ever dare to bully you again.
"Mom and Dad are here too. You will see them very soon. Hurry, just drink some water first."
Liu Siyue's cracked lips finally parted, and for the first time in days, she tasted a sip of hot water.
Tears flowed uncontrollably as she used her last bit of strength to hug Liu Renzhi and cry silently.
Liu Renzhi held her and turned to leave, but Chen Guanshan blocked his way again.
"You are not allowed to leave! She is the daughter-in-law I spent tens of thousands of dollars to legally marry into my family. What right do you have to just take her away?
"You are not allowed to leave, do you hear me?"
Liu Renzhi wanted nothing more than to kill this old bastard right then and there, but he knew that his sister was the most important thing.
Outside, heavy snow was still falling like goose feathers, and he didn't even know how he was going to get his sister to the city yet.
However, Lin Wanyi stepped in front of him.
She looked at Chen Guanshan. "What legal marriage? You clearly bought her.
"You are breaking the law, and you belong in prison. If you let her go now, maybe they will show you some leniency.
"If you insist on stopping us, just look at the aura and clothes of her family. Do you think they are ordinary people?
"Think carefully about the consequences."
Chen Guanshan still refused to step aside, but Chen Daniu pulled his arm.
"Dad, why don't we just forget it? Let her go!"
