"No need, Brother Zhou, it's nothing serious. I'll just go home and rest."

Wu Gang knew that Jian Ning hadn't used his full strength; he had hit him with great restraint, inflicting unbearable pain while leaving him looking unharmed.

He just lifted his shirt to look, and despite taking so many punches to his stomach, there wasn't a single bruise. He really knew how to control himself; it's definitely not the first time he's done this.

He managed to drag himself home, but collapsed on the floor as soon as he entered, which startled the old lady.

I ran out of the house and tried to pull him up, but I couldn't budge him.

"Dagang, what's wrong with you? Is someone bullying you outside? Erming, come out quickly and help your brother inside." After shouting twice, Wu Ming finally came out of the house.

He was wearing slippers and looked sleepy; it was obvious he had just been sleeping in the room.

Seeing Wu Gang's limp body and deathly pale face, they were also startled.

"Brother, what's wrong? Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, come out quickly."

"Don't call me sister-in-law, help me back to my room to lie down for a while," Wu Gang said in a hoarse voice.

Wu Ming was a little puzzled; his older brother wasn't usually like this.

Liu Yan is like a full-time nanny at home, doing everything, let alone helping him back to his room today. It's strange that he didn't ask Liu Yan for help but asked himself to do it.

"What's wrong? You're not listening to your brother anymore? Are you looking for a beating?" Wu Gang's eyes narrowed, and he roared in a muffled voice. Wu Ming quickly helped him into the house.

The old lady was also helping out. When she entered the room and saw Liu Yan lying on the bed, acting as if he hadn't heard the commotion outside, her anger flared up instantly.

"You damned woman, your own husband is back and you don't even get up to greet him. You just lie on the kang (heated brick bed). Do you think you're invincible?" she cursed, reaching out to grab Liu Yan's hair.

Unexpectedly, Wu Gang reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Mom, you're not allowed to bully Liu Yan anymore. You all go out, I have something to say to her."

"Son, what's wrong with you? What's possessing you?"

The old lady also felt that her eldest son was acting strangely today. What was he up to? In the past, when she beat and scolded Liu Yan, Wu Gang had never stopped her.

"Get out of here. Remember what I said. Don't bully Liu Yan again." Wu Gang was in pain all over and didn't speak kindly. The old lady was stunned by his shout.

He immediately jumped up: "Well, you, Wu Gang, you've got some nerve, haven't you? Daring to yell at your mother like that, I'm not even dead yet! Are you trying to rebel?"

"Mom, no, why would you think that? I just feel unwell all over. Can you let me rest in peace?" Wu Gang said, feeling his way onto the bed.

"Fine, I'll let this bitch off the hook today since you're not feeling well. Come on, Erming, let's go out."

The old lady angrily flung her hand away, turned and left. As for what happened to Wu Gang, she didn't want to ask anymore. Since he could yell at her so loudly, it proved that there was nothing seriously wrong with his health.

After seeing that the two of them had left, Wu Gang called out to Liu Yan.

"Wife, get up, I want to talk to you." He had never spoken to Liu Yan in such a gentle tone before.

"Speak, what is it?" Liu Yan sat up abruptly, the red and swollen handprint on his face still visible.

"Don't be angry. I'll treat you better from now on. You don't need to do any work. Just stay home and take good care of yourself so you can give birth to the baby. My mom has a bad temper, but I'll talk to her properly and make sure she doesn't bully you anymore."

"You're pregnant now, so please take good care of yourself and try to give me a big, healthy son."

Liu Yan stared at Wu Gang in shock, hardly believing that these words could come out of his mouth.

But looking at how he looked when he came back, a thought suddenly occurred to me: "Did Jian Ning go to see you?"

“Yeah, your friend is really capable. You should try to build a good relationship with her. We might even be able to benefit from her.” Although Wu Gang didn’t want to admit that Jian Ning had come to see him, he knew he couldn’t hide it from her.

Liu Yan stared intently at Wu Gang's face and slowly smiled.

She laughed and laughed, but after a while she covered her face and burst into tears. All the pent-up frustration in her heart seemed to dissipate at once.

She deeply regretted not coming to this base sooner. If she had known then that Wu Gang was such a bully who preyed on the weak, wouldn't all her suffering over the years have been for nothing?

She should have found a way to teach Wu Gang a lesson a long time ago. Now Jian Ning has really given her a chance to vent her anger.

"Honey, don't do this. You're crying and laughing all the time. Keep your voice down."

Wu Gang was a little worried that Liu Yan might suddenly have a mental breakdown from the shock, and if that happened, would Jian Ning have to come looking for him again?

"Jian Ning said she wants me to be a teacher, to teach elementary school students. What do you think?"

Liu Yan finally managed to stop laughing, looked up at Wu Gang's disheveled appearance, and asked with a smile.

"Go away, your sister is definitely doing this for your own good. But can you even be a teacher? Do you even know how to teach?"

"Of course I have no problem with that. Since you've agreed, then talk to your mom properly and tell her to watch her mouth in the future. You know I'm pregnant, so I won't do any housework."

Your younger brother and sister are capable of doing anything; shouldn't they take care of their sister-in-law?

A cold smile played on Liu Yan's lips, making Wu Gang feel somewhat frightened by her appearance.

"Yes, yes, I'll tell them when I get up tomorrow that you don't have to do any housework anymore."

"You can lie down whenever you want, and we'll make sure you get the best food first."

Wu Gang was truly frightened by Jian Ning's actions today. He was afraid that Liu Yan might complain to Jian Ning again if things didn't go his way, and he didn't want to get beaten up again—it really hurt!

Thinking of this, I accidentally moved my body and, without knowing where I pulled, cried out in pain.

Liu Yan glared at him, and Wu Gang quickly swallowed back the next shout.

"If you're not feeling well today, then rest well and don't disturb my rest." After saying that, Liu Yan lay back down, clutching the clothes on her chest, and began to sob silently.

Tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string, soaking her pillow in no time.

Hopefully, things will get better from today onwards. Having Jian Ning is the greatest fortune of her life.

At this moment, Liu Yan had no idea that since she stepped into the base, her life was about to undergo another major turning point.

After Jian Ning beat up Wu Gang, she felt incredibly refreshed and walked with a swagger.

When I got home, I saw Huang Fugui in the yard, so I picked him up and started rubbing him all over.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? You're rubbing my face so hard it hurts!" Huang Fugui twisted her body like a rubber band.
