In the small courtyard, the three people stood facing each other, gazing at each other in a confrontational posture. War was about to break out, and the atmosphere was thick with the impending storm.

The actions of Liu's mother and her husband were clearly intended to control Wuyou's freedom of movement and forcibly arrange a marriage, which Wuyou absolutely could not tolerate. To do such a disgusting thing under the guise of "I'm doing this for your own good" was even more unacceptable and shameful.

"Liu Wuyou, I'm telling you right now, you have to come back with me and obediently marry Mr. Qian. He's so satisfied with you, don't be ungrateful." Liu's mother put her hands on her hips, her sharp tongue full of meanness.

Liu De remained silent, standing behind his mother with a look of agreement. If his sister married Qian Sheng, the benefits they would receive would be substantial, and he wouldn't have to worry about money for his future wedding.

He's just a money-losing commodity. It's his good fortune to be able to sell him for a good price. Besides, Qian Sheng is so rich. Marrying him is something many women dream of. His sister should feel honored.

"I told you, I'm not going back with you. You'd better not make me angry." Wuyou's tone was cold, her patience had run out. Liu Wuyou didn't want her life to be controlled by others. She wanted to be a good mother, and she would never allow others to manipulate her life.

In her previous life, Liu Wuyou fulfilled her mother's and brother's wishes by abandoning her own children and working diligently. In this life, she wants to live for herself.

"Hurry up and come back with me, you're making a fool of yourself here." Liu's mother rushed forward to grab him, and Liu De followed closely behind, the mother and son working together seamlessly.

"What are you doing? This is my home. Do you have a death wish to cause trouble in my house?" A rough male voice rang out, filled with domineering and agitated tone.

The three turned their heads and saw a ragged man standing at the door of the woodshed. Although he was a bit thin, he still had a strong build and looked quite intimidating. It was Yan Dabiao.

"Uh, Brother Yan, I didn't hear you speak before you got home. Sorry, we disturbed you. We'll go home now." Liu De forced himself to take two steps forward, a fawning smile plastered on his face.

Yan Dabiao was simply too reckless and audacious. He was incredibly fierce when he fought, and what was most terrifying was his fearless, suicidal attitude. As the saying goes, the weak fear the strong, the strong fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear the suicidal. When faced with someone like Yan Dabiao, others could only give him a wide berth.

Even his brother-in-law had been beaten by him several times, each time in so much pain he wished he could die on the spot. Because he had suffered at Yan Dabiao's hands before, Liu De felt a subconscious pain when he saw him, and even his tone became much softer, for fear that the other party might be displeased and give him another beating.

"Yes, we'll take Wuyou home right away. We won't cause you any trouble. We'll leave immediately." Liu was also a little afraid of Yan Dabiao. Seeing the other man made his scalp tingle. He stepped forward, grabbed Wuyou, and prepared to leave.

"Stop right there! Liu Wuyou is the mother of my child. No one is going to take him away today. Taking him away is tantamount to going against me, Yan Dabiao, and it's a fight to the death." Yan Dabiao casually picked up a brick, lightly tapped it in his hand, and the threat was obvious.

"This...you're already divorced, why won't you let my daughter leave?" Liu's mother felt a chill run down her spine, but thinking of the benefits Qian Sheng had promised, she straightened her chest and tried to remain firm.

"Heh, I am the law, if you dare fight me! I'll beat you to death." Yan Dabiao only lost his temper when facing Wuyou. At other times, especially in front of outsiders, he was completely unruly. As he spoke, he rushed forward, ready to smash a brick at the other party, which frightened Liu's mother into screaming.

"Ah, don't hit me! I'll leave right now, I'll leave right now. Xiao De, run!" Liu's mother covered her head and ran away. All interests were insignificant in the face of life. She grabbed her son and ran.

The two ran very fast and soon disappeared from sight, showing just how frightened they were.

This scene left Wuyou stunned. Wasn't Yan Dabiao locked in the woodshed? How did he escape? Unless…

Wuyou looked towards the corner of the kitchen, but indeed didn't see the small figure. She then looked behind Yan Dabiao. A small figure peeked over, and their eyes met.

“Mom…” Yan Rui carefully looked at Wuyou’s face. Because of his family background, he had become extremely sensitive and could easily detect other people’s emotions. Even if Wuyou was a little angry, he could feel it.

Looking at the other party's cautious expression, Wuyou felt helpless. This child really dared to take matters into his own hands and actually went to Yan Dabiao's side to let him out. Wasn't he afraid that the other party would treat him the same way as before?

Yan Dabiao is a grown man with a long history of domestic violence; he won't show you any mercy just because you're young. In short, Yan Rui's actions were tantamount to playing with fire, but fortunately, he made the right gamble.

Wuyou couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had managed to subdue Yan Dabiao in the past month or so; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Little Rui, Mommy knows you're doing this to help me. Don't be afraid, I won't blame you." She reached out and hugged the child, her voice gentle and soothing, like a warm spring breeze that soothed her face.

"Mom, Xiao Rui will definitely protect you and will never let anyone bully you." Yan Rui reached out to Wu You, her childish voice filled with determination, making one's nose tingle with emotion as she was interrupted by these sincere childlike words.

"Okay, from now on, Mom will protect Xiao Rui, and Xiao Rui will protect Mom when he grows up. Go and pack your things obediently." Wuyou patted Yan Rui on the back, and the other person immediately went back to the room obediently, leaving only Wuyou and Yan Rui in the yard.

"You..." Wuyou slowly strolled up to Yan Dabiao, and before she could utter a single word, the other man immediately covered his head and squatted on the ground. The once tall and imposing man instantly turned into a quail.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I will never dare to run away without your permission again. If you hit me, remember to leave me a breath..." Yan Dabiao said a lot in one breath, his tone and expression revealing his deep-seated fear of Wuyou. He was trembling like a leaf, both pathetic and ridiculous.

"Since you know what you should and shouldn't do, get back here now!" Wuyou raised an eyebrow. It seemed his recent training of the other man had been very effective; this man would probably never dare to appear in front of them again. However, such a man would inevitably cause trouble for others in the future.

After thinking for a while, Wuyou went back to the kitchen to cook. The mother and son enjoyed a delicious meal. Even in his sleep, Yan Rui had a smile on his face, full of longing and anticipation for the future.

That night, Yan Dabiao received his only dinner in over a month, and tears streamed down his face. "My God," he cried, "my days of suffering are finally over. I'm about to be reborn."

In response, Wuyou said the other party was dreaming.
