"Wang Keke, what did you say? I am your father, how can you talk to me like that?"
"Who taught you that? Tell me, who taught you?"
Wang Keke, frightened, hid in Lin Jiajun's arms:
"Uncle, Uncle, I'm scared. Daddy is too fierce."
"I don't want to go home with Daddy. I never want to go back."
"Uncle, I want to go with you and Grandma."
Lin Jiajun quickly picked her up:
"Wang Hao, are you insane? She's your daughter. How can you scare her like that?"
"Can't you just act normal?"
Wang Hao ignored Wang Keke and started looking around frantically again:
"Lin Wanyi, Lin Wanyi, get out here. Come out now!"
"You dare to cheat on me? I'll make sure you're dead!"
Lin Wanyi, who was chatting with Liu Siyue next door, heard Wang Hao's voice.
She hadn't expected Wang Hao to be able to find this place.
She stood behind Wang Hao:
"I'm right here. What do you want?"
Wang Hao looked her up and down, as if searching for evidence of an affair on her person.
But Lin Wanyi was perfectly neat and tidy from head to toe; Wang Hao couldn't find a single fault.
Yet, he still picked a fight unreasonably:
"What are you doing here? Lin Wanyi, you're a pregnant woman. Instead of being at your own home, what are you doing in a hotel with strange men?"
"Come on, come on, in front of the officers, I'm asking you, what are you trying to do?"
Remembering what happened at the airport and all the grievances she had endured over the years,
Lin Wanyi directly slapped Wang Hao across the face:
"Get lost, Wang Hao. In front of the officers, I'm telling you to get lost, you hear me?"
"From now on, don't talk to me about anything except divorce."
Wang Hao refused:
"I won't divorce you. Never."
"Lin Wanyi, I had actually thought about letting you go, I was ready to give you your freedom."
"But who told you to be dishonest? Who told you to have an unclear relationship with Liu Renzhi?"
"I've decided now. I won't divorce you. Never."
"As long as I don't sign the divorce papers for a single day, you will forever be my wife. Don't even think about being with Liu Renzhi."
Lin Wanyi had truly reached her limit.
Like a madwoman, she threw an ashtray at Wang Hao:
"Get out! Get out of here!"
"Don't you insult me, and even more, don't insult me and Brother Liu. We are just friends. Don't spew your filthy lies."
The ashtray hit Wang Hao on the forehead, leaving him dazed.
Blood streamed down his cheek.
He looked at Lin Wanyi in disbelief:
"You hit me? You actually hit me?"
"Lin Wanyi, I'm your husband. For the sake of that man, you actually threw an ashtray at me."
"You used to be so gentle. How have you become like this?"
Lin Wanyi didn't even look at him. Wang Hao roared:
"Don't you think I'll sue you? The officers are right here."
"Officers, you saw it with your own eyes. Please uphold justice for me."
Lin Wanyi also looked at the officers:
"I'm really sorry, officers. I couldn't control myself and committed domestic violence against my husband."
Wang Hao shouted:
"What domestic violence? This is intentional assault!"
"Lin Wanyi, I can have you sent to jail."
Lin Wanyi sneered:
"Wang Hao, have you really forgotten? When your mother hit me, didn't you call it domestic violence?"
"When your father hit me, when your sister hit me, when your whole family hit me, didn't you all call it domestic violence?"
"Why isn't it domestic violence when it's me doing it?"
"Officers, please judge for me. Does this count as domestic violence or not?"
The officers understood the situation. They said to Wang Hao:
"If you're not satisfied, you can sue her. This is your family matter; it's not appropriate for us to intervene."
"You...!"
Wang Hao, covering the wound on his head, was left speechless.
Right.
Earlier, when Liu Chunlan beat Lin Wanyi so severely, when Wang Jianguo slapped her so many times,
and even when Wang Meijuan laid hands on her,
he had advised Lin Wanyi at the time: "Let it go. We're all family, don't make a fuss."
Now the boomerang had come back and hit him. What could he possibly argue?
He couldn't argue anything.
He was taken away from the hotel by the officers again.
No matter how much he struggled, it was useless.
Lin Wanyi packed things for Wang Keke and Li Suhua. She instructed Wang Keke:
"You go back first with Grandma. Mommy and Uncle will come find you after we finish some business."
"Keke, you're six years old, about to start first grade. You need to be sensible and obedient, understand?"
"Don't make Grandma angry, okay?"
Wang Keke nodded happily: "I know, Mommy. I'll definitely listen to Grandma, because Grandma never calls me a money-losing burden."
Lin Wanyi's eyes reddened. Li Suhua shed tears.
Su Jing was furious: "What a lovely little girl! What era is this, still favoring boys over girls?"
"It's simply outrageous."
"Keke, don't listen to them. Grandma Su likes you too. You can call me Grandma Su from now on."
Liu Chunlan and Liu Xiulan were still at home scheming about how to bully Lin Wanyi.
Wang Meijuan had swapped Wang Keke's room for her son's again.
She was overjoyed, having finally driven Lin Wanyi away.
As long as Lin Wanyi wasn't here, she could treat this house as hers and her son's.
Li Jun was useless. Villagers had been buying houses and cars in the city one after another, bringing their children to study in the city.
There were only a handful of children left in the township elementary school.
She felt sorry for Li Borui, but she herself had no capability.
So, from the day Wang Hao bought the house, she had planned to cling on here no matter what.
She had to secure a room for her son.
Now it was perfect. With Lin Wanyi not coming back, she could comfortably play the lady of the house.
Liu Chunlan was still seeking advice from Liu Xiulan:
"Elder Sister, how do you usually deal with your daughter-in-law?"
"How come she listens to you so well? Mine are both worthless, each worse than the other."
"Elder Sister, teach me, please."
Liu Xiulan was actually miserable inside. Her daughter-in-law didn't listen to her at all; she had even been kicked out now.
But she couldn't say that. She couldn't lose face.
She could only brazen it out and say:
"What good methods are there? Daughters-in-law these days are more and more ungrateful."
"The only way is to hit them. If they don't listen, hit them."
"You don't know, when my son hits her, it's so satisfying. If she ever dares to give me attitude, my son slaps her right away."
Hearing this, Liu Chunlan felt an even sharper pain in her heart.
Clutching her chest, she said enviously:
"You gave birth to a good son. My two useless ones, they both forget their mother once they get a wife."
"In their hearts, their wives are more important. No one cares about me at all."
"Elder Sister, my life is bitter, so bitter."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Hao returned with a blood-stained bandage wrapped around his head.
Liu Chunlan was terrified and rushed forward to ask him:
"What happened? Who hit you?"
"Was it Lin Wanyi? Was it that bitch and her brother?"
Wang Hao sat on the sofa, smoking one cigarette after another:
"Mom, Lin Wanyi really doesn't want me anymore."
"She's truly determined to get a divorce."
Liu Chunlan almost fainted:
"Is she crazy? If she divorces, she'll be second-hand goods, damaged goods. No one will want her."
"And she's pregnant with your child. She can't possibly divorce."
"Son, believe me, she's just putting on an act."
"As long as you don't give in, she'll come back to you eventually."
