Bai Li stood up from the bed and rushed to Li Yang in two or three steps, her face full of shame and anger: "Li Yang, I opened the door to let you in, not to let you humiliate me!"

Compared to Bai Li's exasperated expression, Li Yang calmly met her gaze, still sitting steadily. "So, Miss Bai also has some sense of shame."

Bai Li's face flushed instantly: "Li Yang!"

Li Yang's face darkened as he said, "Miss Bai has at least studied for many years. Although we, the rough folk, may not have much education, we do understand some basic principles.

Living in someone else's house is a nuisance to them. It's bad enough that you don't know what's happening, but you're either crying or going on a hunger strike during Chinese New Year. The host didn't say anything out of consideration for Ji Huaizhi. Miss Bai, do you really think that if you're unhappy, everyone will try to appease you?"

Bai Li: "You..."

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet." Li Yang raised his hand to stop Bai Li from speaking, and continued, "Finally, I believe Miss Bai knows best what happened yesterday. If I were you, I would quickly go down the stairs to avoid embarrassing everyone.

But Miss Bai is very ambitious and believes that everyone owes her something. No matter if she is right or wrong, she will not give up until the other party gives in.

Li Yang's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "Miss Bai, New China has been established for so many years. What's the point of your acting like this?"

Listening to Li Yang's accusations, Bai Li's face turned red and white, but she couldn't find any words to refute her.

During the years she'd left Guangzhou with her parents, even during the most difficult times, no one had ever broken her pride. She'd believed she was different from everyone else, and that one day she'd return to her old life. But now, all of that had been ruthlessly shattered by Li Yang, leaving her feeling utterly ashamed and completely resentful of him.

Why, wasn't it enough that she snatched Ji Huaizhi away, but she also had to humiliate her like this?

Sensing the change in Bai Li's mood, Li Yang knew that his goal had been achieved and did not linger any longer.

She stood up and said, "Miss Bai, even if the Ji family owed the Bai family a huge favor, we can't stand Miss Bai making such a fuss.

That’s all I have to say. Miss Bai, take care of yourself.”

After Li Yang finished speaking, he turned and left without even looking at Bai Li.

Bai Li stood there, thinking about Li Yang's words, and was so excited that her whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Li Yang, how dare she!

Not long after, Bai Li came over.

She washed and changed her clothes, but she didn't look well.

Ji Huaizhi stood up, made room for her, and said calmly, "Sit down, and have breakfast together."

Bai Li looked indifferent and replied, "Yeah."

Li Yang sat aside, pretending not to notice Bai Li's indifference, and lowered his head to eat the breakfast in his bowl.

After a while, Bai Li said, "Huaizhi, I want to move out."

Ji Huaizhi put down his chopsticks and said, "Okay, if you see any place you like, tell me and I'll ask Gangzi to find it."

Seeing that Ji Huaizhi had no intention of trying to keep her, Bai Li felt even more sad.

She held back her tears and said, "Anywhere, as long as it's not here, it's all good." She glanced at Li Yang with resentment, saying, "I'm an outsider after all. Living here for a long time wouldn't be good for anyone, and I don't want to be disliked."

Li Yang: “…”

It turned out that Bai Li didn't hear a word of what she just said.

Yes, if she was someone who could be easily persuaded, she would not have followed Ji Huaizhi back even though she knew that he was married.

Ji Huaizhi seemed not to hear the hidden meaning in her words and nodded: "It is indeed inconvenient here. You can stay for a few days. I will find you a place to stay after a few days."

Bai Li felt like she was punching cotton, not feeling any strength at all.

She bit her lip, but still said nothing.

After finishing breakfast, I helped to clean up the dishes for the first time, and then went back to Sister Qian's house in a depressed mood.

Li Yang spread his hands towards Ji Huaizhi: "I didn't bully her."

Ji Huaizhi rubbed his eyebrows and said, "That's just her personality. You should not mind it."

He then asked Li Yang, "Tomorrow, do I want to accompany you back to your parents-in-law's house?"

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is a custom for married daughters to return to their parents' home. However, Li Yang and the Li family have become so entangled now, and I am not sure what Li Yang means.

Li Yang shook his head: "No, I won't go. It will save me the trouble."

As early as when she married Ji Huaizhi, she severed ties with the Li family. The subsequent disputes were only because the Li family was unwilling to accept it.

After the slap from Li Jianhai and the scene Feng Mei caused yesterday, I believe that if they had any shame, they would not be able to let her go back.

Ji Huaizhi originally wanted to say that if the people didn't go, it would be okay to send some things over, but seeing Li Yang's indifferent expression, it was obvious that he didn't want to have too much involvement with them, so he gave up.

However, Li Yang thought so, but the Li family did not think so.

Feng Mei and Li Jianhai's family went to the old house to celebrate New Year's Eve. This was Yang Chunhua's rule. Even if they separated, the family had to be together during the New Year and other holidays, otherwise they would be laughed at and accused of being disunited.

Therefore, every year, no matter whether Feng Mei is willing or not, the foolishly filial Li Jianhai will definitely let her go back.

This year is no exception.

As soon as they arrived at the old house, Yang Chunhua and Yue Hong asked her many times, both openly and secretly, how much money Li Yang had given to the family after his marriage.

Feng Mei thought about how Li Yang had taken all the salary she had worked so hard to earn, not to mention the extra money he had given her. She felt resentful and said, "My daughter is married now, she belongs to someone else's family. How can I ask her for money again?" She looked at Yue Hong sarcastically, "Or do you, sister-in-law, often take money back to her parents' home?"

As the words fell, Yang Chunhua also looked over. Yue Hong was startled and stammered, "Who... who took the money back to her parents' home? Aren't you the one who always takes the money back to her parents' home?"

Feng Mei always takes money back to her parents' home, which is an open secret in the entire Li family. This also makes her less confident in front of her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.

Yang Chunhua said, "Regardless of whether that girl Li Yang brings the money back or not, you and Jianhai still have to give what you owe to your family."

This was Yang Chunhua’s second reason for asking them to come back for the New Year’s Eve dinner: to get money.

It was said that the three brothers each gave her fifty yuan as a gift, but Feng Mei knew in her heart that not only did Yang Chunhua not take Li Jianren's money, she even gave the money given by them and the old family to his family under various names.

It was obvious that Li Jianren's family was living the best life, but Yang Chunhua was still partial to them. Every time Feng Mei thought of this, she felt very angry.

Feng Mei replied sullenly, "Mom, we know."

Li Yang's salary was missing today, and coupled with the Li Yaozu incident some time ago, there is no money left at home. Her family members want money for the New Year, and her husband's family also wants money. This is really going to drive her to death!

After hearing Feng Mei's agreement, Yang Chunhua nodded with satisfaction: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year this year, you can ask Li Yang to bring her man here."
