"I asked around before I came. Everyone knows that Hu Yuan is just a petty hoodlum. All he does is eat, drink, gamble, and whore, and beat his wife and kids. I really don't know what you're after."

"Wang Man! Aren't you shameless?!"

The cursing and shouting continued, and Hu Yuan could hear it all clearly from outside the door.

Interspersed among these were Wang Man's soft sobs and Tuan Tuan's loud cries.

But the two women's crying did not stop the woman who was cursing. She continued to roar and complain about all the bad things Hu Yuan had done, wishing she could leave and take Wang Man back with her.

After listening at the door for a while, and combining it with his memories, Hu Yuan immediately remembered who it was.

The person inside was none other than Wang Man's mother, Li Sufeng, who was also Hu Yuan's mother-in-law.

Although Hu Yuan didn't know much about her, he still had some impression of her in his memory.

Li Sufeng is a country woman who, due to her family background, is greedy, materialistic, and a notorious shrew in her village.

Wang Man married Hu Yuan because Hu Yuan's family offered a high dowry and could also help Wang Man find a formal job.

Therefore, Li Sufeng disregarded Wang Man's wishes and forced her to marry Hu Yuan.

Although Wang Man's father loved his daughter dearly and didn't want her to marry the other man, he had no choice but to agree due to Li Sufeng's strong personality.

Actually, Hu Yuan's family was originally quite well-off, but there's a limit to how well-off they are.

Since his parents passed away, Hu Yuan has been indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun, constantly squandering the family's money.

It was precisely because they had no other choice that Wang Man and Hu Yuan, who were homeless, rented a house here.

Li Sufeng hadn't come for a long time, but she heard that Hu Yuan was running out of money, so she came to his door.

Hu Yuan walked in after pushing open the door.

Although he knew the other person's temperament, Hu Yuan's attitude was still very good because she was Wang Man's mother.

"Mom, you're here? Wang Man, why didn't you tell me Mom was coming! If I had known, I should have bought some good food and cooked something nice for her!" Hu Yuan looked at Wang Man, who was wiping away her tears, with a smile.

"No, no, no! I can't accept you calling me 'Mom'!" Li Sufeng looked at Hu Yuan with disgust, not even glancing at him.

"Mom, please don't be like this..." Wang Man's eyes welled up again as she wiped away her tears, wanting to persuade her mother.

"Shut up, you don't need to speak here!" Li Sufeng directly scolded Wang Man, not letting her open her mouth.

"dad!"

Upon seeing Hu Yuan return, the sobbing Tuantuan immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms.

"My little Tuantuan, why are you crying when Daddy's not home? Is there something you want to eat? Tell Daddy and Daddy will buy it for you!" Hu Yuan said to Tuantuan with a smile while comforting her.

"Dad, I'm scared..."

Li Sufeng, the grandmother, completely terrified Tuantuan.

However, the other party treated Tuantuan, who was not their biological granddaughter, with a cold face and showed no affection whatsoever.

In her opinion, Tuantuan was a "money-losing burden".

"Don't be afraid, Tuantuan, Daddy's back, everything's alright!" Hu Yuan hugged Tuantuan tightly and said with a smile.

"Hu Yuan, I'm here to tell you, hurry up and divorce Wang Man! I'm taking her back with me!"

Without saying anything else, Li Sufeng directly shouted at Hu Yuan in a cold voice.

Hu Yuan remained unmoved by her demeanor and continued to ask with a smile, "Mom, you've finally come all this way, why are you saying this right away? What did I do wrong that you want me to divorce Wang Man?"

"What exactly did I do wrong?" Li Sufeng sneered, then said, "How dare you say that?"

"Go ask around outside, everyone knows you, Hu Yuan, spend your days drinking, gambling, whoring, and are utterly useless! You're good for nothing, and you even beat your wife and kids! Someone like you still wants to stay with my daughter?! Get a divorce right now!"

Hearing Li Sufeng's words, Hu Yuan felt somewhat helpless.

Although the other party was very powerful, what they said was actually not wrong.

Hu Yuan used to be an uneducated and lazy person who would spend his days messing around and would beat his wife and children for no reason.

At this moment, Hu Yuan's body has been replaced by a different soul, but even with the replacement, the other party cannot know it, so he still has to bear all these sins.

"Mom, I know I didn't do well before and made Wang Man suffer. But I've changed now and I definitely won't do it again. Please don't be angry!" Hu Yuan put the calmed-down Tuantuan on the sofa, then poured Li Sufeng a cup of tea and brought it over.

Li Sufeng didn't even glance at the tea that Hu Yuan served.

She maintained her sarcastic expression and said coldly, "You think you've changed? I don't believe it even if you beat me to death!"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, I've already found Wang Man a new husband. His family is very wealthy; they're a well-known family with tens of thousands of yuan in income around here!"

"I don't care who you are, hurry up and divorce Wang Man. Someone like you wants to drag Wang Man down? No way!"

"Mom, how could you do this? I have a husband and children..." Hearing this, Wang Man looked anxious and tightly grabbed Li Sufeng's sleeve.

But Li Sufeng didn't give her a chance to speak at all, "What kind of man and child are you? A petty thug's man and a stray child you picked up?!"

"Hurry up and get a divorce and come back with me. You'll enjoy wealth and luxury when you get back, unlike now, where you're stuck with such a poor wretch like him!" Li Sufeng said, glancing at Hu Yuan with disdain.

Hearing Li Sufeng mention that Tuantuan was an adopted wild child, she felt a surge of anger and could no longer hold back.

His face turned ashen, and he said in a cold voice, "You can say whatever you want, but don't talk nonsense! This is our child, not some wild child!"

Looking at Tuantuan, who was already fast asleep, Hu Yuan's expression was not good.

Seeing Hu Yuan's impending outburst, Li Sufeng's heart skipped a beat.

He doesn't want to hit me, does he?

With a cold snort, Li Sufeng dropped the subject.

Instead, he turned to Wang Man and said, "Let me tell you, the Wu family is a well-known wealthy family in our area, with tens of thousands of yuan. They don't mind that you're a divorcee, so what are you hesitating for!"

"Divorcing this bastard is better for you and for our family!"

No matter what she said, Wang Man remained unmoved by her words.

He was extremely anxious and worried that Hu Yuan might do something reckless, so he made up his mind, grabbed Wang Man, and pulled her up with all his might.

"Come on, come back with me! We'll go back today!"

"Mom, what are you doing!" Wang Man was thinner than Li Sufeng, so when the other pulled her, she stood up immediately.

"If you still consider me your mother, come back with me and stop wasting your time with him!"
