Chapter 2 Get Out of Here!

"You brat, don't go too far with your words! I was married to you by your father with great ceremony and proper arrangements..."

"Filling in a house?" Wen Ni asked.

"Wen Yuanshan! Aren't you going to do anything about her? Are you just going to let her talk about me like that?!"

Sun Yuling was so angry at those two words that she almost choked. Tears streamed down her face as she grabbed Wen Yuanshan by the collar and shook him violently.

"When I married you, I was still a virgin. So many men pursued me, but I refused them all and married a widowed old man like you! I suffered so much injustice and endured so much gossip behind my back, and now she actually calls me a second wife! What is a second wife? She's an unwanted virgin, an older single woman!"

"Yu Ling, Yu Ling, calm down. Wen Ni just got back, I can't..."

"Then you just let her bully me like this!" Sun Yuling said, wiping away her tears.

"You married my father for money, didn't you? My mother was so capable when she was alive, and everyone in the surrounding villages knew about the wealth she had accumulated!"

Wen Cheng couldn't help but reveal the truth, exposing Sun Yuling's lie.

"You came here and immediately sold all of my mother's gold jewelry and dowry! Don't think nobody knows about this!"

Upon hearing this,

Sun Yuling's expression immediately changed, and she burst into tears, throwing a tantrum.

"I'm so wronged! You, surnamed Wen, you choose! Do you want them, or me and the baby in my belly!"

This situation left Wen Yuanshan extremely anxious, and he quickly squatted down and hugged Sun Yuling.

"I'll choose you, okay? Stop crying, the baby in my belly can't take this much!"

"very good!"

Wen Ni, who had been quietly watching the show from the sidelines, finally spoke up.

"Now that Father has made his decision, please take this woman and leave our home!"

"What!?"

Wen Yuanshan and Sun Yuling looked up at the same time, their faces filled with disbelief!

"You're trying to kick your father out of the house?! Wen Ni, are you an animal?"

"Well, we're all family after all. Let's sit down and talk things over. We're all in the heat of the moment, so what we say shouldn't be taken seriously!"

The two gossiping aunties hadn't left yet; they only remembered to mediate the fight after watching the drama unfold for a while.

"Who's family with her?"

Wen Ni pointed at Sun Yuling, then looked at Wen Yuanshan with an innocent expression.

"I don't recognize this woman who came into the family before my mother's mourning period was over. To me, she's a complete stranger. Father, you insist on leaving with a stranger, how can you blame me?"

"Wen Ni! Don't let your emotions get the better of you. Your Aunt Sun is pregnant. Where are you going to send her?!"

"Who am I? A savior? Why do I have to worry about where a complete stranger goes? Isn't that a waste of my time?"

As Wen Ni finished speaking, she held up a burning torch and her cold gaze swept across each of their faces!

"Get out of here or not? If you don't, I'll burn this place down, and nobody will be able to stay here!"

"You! Wen Ni, how could you become like this!" Wen Yuanshan's eyes were filled with disappointment.

"I have changed, but haven't you changed too? I haven't been back for three years, and you haven't even asked me how I've been doing, whether I'm eating well and staying warm. Ask yourself honestly, what do Xiaocheng and I mean to you now? Isn't your heart and eyes only filled with this woman?"

Faced with Wen Ni's questioning, Wen Yuanshan was disheartened and speechless.

He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word in defense. He lowered his head and remained silent. Because Sun Yuling was heavy, he could only silently help her leave first.

The neighbor lady quickly tucked her tail between her legs and slunk away after them...

Watching them all leave, Wen Ni finally calmed down and closed the courtyard gate.

The long-lost tranquility was finally restored to the courtyard.

She turned around and looked at the old house where she had lived for more than ten years.

My mother passed away only three years ago, but her voice and smile seem to still remain in every corner of this place.

How dare Wen Yuanshan? How dare he?

Before the year of mourning was over, he married another woman and got her pregnant!

"sister……"

"Xiao Cheng."

Wen Ni loosened her clenched fist and suddenly came to her senses.

She took Wen Cheng's hand and looked at the chilblains on his hands and the various scars on his arms. It was obvious that they were from being scalded by oil and whipped with a rattan cane!

Whether it was Sun Yuling or Wen Yuanshan who did it, it's pointless to investigate now. Whoever it was, they were accomplices!

"Xiao Cheng, you've suffered these past three years. But now I'm back, and I won't allow this to happen again!"

Wen Ni gently brushed away the stray hairs from Xiao Cheng's forehead.

The word "heartache" was about to spill from her eyes!

"Sister, you don't need to apologize to me. It's good that you're back. It's good that you still have Xiaocheng..."

Wen Cheng sniffed, trying hard to act like an adult, but she couldn't hold back and buried her face in her shoulder, tears streaming down her face...

The doors to the room and cabinets opened and closed.

Wen Ni and Wen Cheng searched high and low, but all they found in the house was 10,000 yuan in cash.

Looking around the room, one sees all the new furniture and expensive jewelry on the shelves.

Wen Ni had already guessed that there probably wasn't much of the subsidy money mailed back from the army left; most of it had been squandered by Sun Yuling and Wen Yuanshan!

That money was earned through countless life-or-death experiences; it was money she sent to Wen Cheng for his schooling.

Now, Wen Cheng was forced to drop out of school, and not a single penny of that money was spent on him!

"Wen Ni, are you home? It's your Uncle Wang!"

Suddenly, the voice of Wang Zhongshan, the village party secretary, came from outside the courtyard.

When he opened the door, he found that he wasn't the only one standing outside; there were also several village officials from the women's committee.

"What's up?"

"Wen Ni, your uncles and aunts are very happy that you're back! But it's really not right for you to kick your father and stepmother out of the house so soon after you come back!"

"Wen Yuanshan is still your biological father, and Sun Yuling is now his legal wife and your stepmother. Logically and emotionally, what you're doing will make you a target of public criticism!"

"Then what should we do according to Uncle Wang's opinion?" Wen Ni tilted her head and smiled, appearing harmless.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Wang realized that he still had a lot of influence; Wen Ni wasn't completely unyielding after all!

Thinking this, he quickly replied with a smile, "What I mean is, let your father and Aunt Sun come back to live here. After all, you are family. What could possibly escalate to the point of life and death?"

"Besides, your Aunt Sun is pregnant. If something were to happen to her, it would be a huge problem! Moreover, you and Wen Cheng are both quite young; you can't possibly support yourselves on your own..."

"Oh, Uncle Wang, you don't know this, but if Sun Yuling comes back to live here, I'm afraid she'll die even faster!"

After saying that, Wen Ni suddenly stopped smiling, her cold eyes seeming like she could tear someone to pieces at any moment. She slammed the door shut and locked it!

Secretary Wang's smile froze on his face as he awkwardly glanced at the equally dumbfounded village officials beside him.

"Cough cough, the outside world is indeed a big melting pot. Wen Ni used to be such a well-behaved child, how did she go astray and become so heartless and ruthless! The world is going to the dogs!"

"That's right, what kind of life can she and Wen Cheng, two teenagers, possibly have? I reckon they'll be begging Wen Yuanshan and the others to go back in less than two days. We'll see!"

"That's right, that's right. Let Mr. and Mrs. Wen Yuanshan stay at the homes of our village committee cadres for a few days in rotation!"
