Chapter 60 Since I can't go on living like this anymore, can't you be a little more lenient with them...?
Gu Yan said that the daughter-in-law they mentioned was most likely Li Qian.
Because there is only one machinery factory in Kunming.
Like the Tian family mother and daughter, Han Qiqi couldn't wait to make her family's affairs known to everyone.
It's hard for people not to pay attention to it.
After spending time with Li Qian, Zhao Shuyi felt that she was actually a decent person.
Perhaps she wasn't inherently bad, or perhaps these experiences had changed her temperament; in any case, Zhao Shuyi found it quite easy to get along with her.
Seeing that her enemies had gotten their comeuppance, Zhao Shuyi felt much better.
Gu Yan saw her reaction and just smiled, his eyes full of doting affection.
After finishing their meal, the two prepared to go back.
On the way back, whenever they encountered a slightly easier section of road to drive on, Gu Yan would let Zhao Shuyi try it.
In fact, Zhao Shuyi wasn't that interested in driving.
She just wanted to take this opportunity to showcase her skills.
However, unable to refuse such hospitality, she could only treat it as practice.
The two chatted and practiced driving along the way, and time seemed to fly by.
It seemed like only a short while before we arrived at the family compound.
Stepping into the courtyard, Zhao Shuyi felt as if she had finally come home.
She was surprised that she had developed such a strong sense of belonging to this place.
It's a pity that I only stayed for a short time before having to leave again.
Although she didn't cultivate the courtyard of this residential compound, she gradually transformed it into the flower-filled and vegetable-grown place it is today.
To be honest, I'm really reluctant to part with it.
When Gu Yan returned the car, Zhao Shuyi chatted with him about her thoughts.
Now Zhao Shuyi likes to share everything on her mind with Gu Yan.
After listening to her words, Gu Yan remained silent for a moment before saying, "It's okay, wherever you are can be our home."
Gu Yan automatically incorporated Zhao Shuyi's sense of belonging to this family into their own sense of belonging to their family.
It must be said that his words really pleased Zhao Shuyi.
Zhao Shuyi said seriously, "Don't rush into the transfer. Let me see if I can get used to it in Chuncheng first. If I can't, what if I have to come back in disgrace? I still really like it here."
Gu Yan remained silent for a moment before giving up.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll visit you in Kunming often."
"If you're too busy, don't force yourself. You can write to me. I actually quite enjoy writing letters."
Letters are a very special medium and have great collectible value, which Zhao Shuyi really likes.
Gu Yan agreed, but it's unclear whether he took her words to heart.
Zhao Shuyi knew that the other party was very busy.
She hoped that Gu Yan would take care of himself first before considering her.
This way, she can rest assured and won't feel guilty.
The two of them had been running around outside for two days and were quite exhausted.
I washed up and went to bed early that day.
The next day, life returned to normal, with five days remaining before Zhao Shuyi was to go to the military hospital.
As usual, Zhao Shuyi would go to the clinic to help Dr. Wang with some tasks.
When Dr. Wang saw her, his attitude was much softer than before, probably because he was quite reluctant to part with her.
Because she was so diligent and saw so many patients recently, there haven't been many customers these past two days and today.
After helping Dr. Wang process some medicinal herbs, Zhao Shuyi sat there and chatted with him.
She also told Dr. Wang about Dr. Tan's desire to take her on as an apprentice, including the fact that she had already agreed.
As expected, Dr. Wang was not unhappy that Zhao Shuyi had another mentor; on the contrary, he was happy for her.
“I don’t know much about her personal life, but her professional level is very high. If you go and learn from her, there shouldn’t be any problem. To put it another way, it’s really not easy for us to learn anything. Sometimes, what does it matter if we suffer a little loss? We suffer, and there’s nothing in this world that can be obtained without effort.”
Dr. Wang spoke from the bottom of his heart, and Zhao Shuyi naturally agreed.
"So you were testing me before, weren't you?"
She still remembered when she first came to the clinic to help out, Dr. Wang treated her with disdain, clearly trying to make things difficult for her.
At that time, Zhao Shuyi did not sense the other party's malice, and since the other party was someone that Sister Huang strongly recommended, she let the other party make a fuss.
As it turned out, Dr. Wang was indeed a very good person. He taught her a lot and never held anything back or made her suffer any losses.
Hearing her say that, Dr. Wang snorted coldly.
"Are you finding it tiring to be here with me?"
Zhao Shuyi found it funny.
"Not at all, I am definitely grateful for your guidance."
The other party is being arrogant again.
The two talked for a while, and then Li Qian came over, carrying a net bag in her hand.
"Dr. Wang, Dr. Zhao, these are some pickled vegetables I made myself. I brought them for you to try."
As she spoke, she took out two small jars and handed them to the two of them.
"Sister Li, please don't bring us anything next time. Treating your illness is our duty."
Although her skills in making these little things are really good, and they taste really delicious.
But Zhao Shuyi still felt uncomfortable taking other people's things without permission.
Li Qian smiled and agreed.
"Then I won't deliver next time. I just feel like I've made too much and there's no one else to deliver it to. If you don't mind, you can take it and try it first."
Zhao Shuyi didn't expose her.
The person agreed readily, so they'll definitely deliver it again next time.
She went to Kunming, so she probably won't be able to eat there anymore.
When Dr. Wang sees patients here, he often pays for the medicines himself, but he never accepts any expensive gifts, so no one pays attention to these little things.
Zhao Shuyi took her pulse, and then the military doctor Wang left for the time being.
"Drink a glass of water first. Your condition has improved significantly. Continue to take the medication I told you to take before, and come to see Dr. Wang for follow-up appointments regularly. If I'm not around, he will continue to treat you and prescribe medication."
After Zhao Shuyi gave Li Qian the spiritual spring water several times, her health has improved significantly, and now she only needs normal conditioning.
"Thank you, Comrade Zhao, you have helped me a lot."
Perhaps because she has experienced a lot, Li Qian now seems very gentle, and it's very comfortable to talk to her.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Shuyi took the opportunity to chat with her about her experiences in Kunming.
"We saw those people wearing red armbands come to arrest people while we were eating."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian visibly tensed up, but she gripped her sleeves tightly with both hands, trying to appear calm.
“Those people were terrifying. They didn’t even blink when they saw the wife of the factory director, and they just handcuffed her and took her away.”
"who?"
Li Qian probably thought she had misheard, her eyes widened suddenly, and she stared straight at Zhao Shuyi.
Zhao Shuyi pretended not to know and turned back to organize the medicine.
“I don’t know her either. She said she was the wife of the logistics director of the machinery factory. I don’t think I misheard. She and her daughter have been arrested.”
“At first, they were really arrogant. When we went to eat at the state-run restaurant, they would complain about this and that. You can say they complained, but they also shouted loudly. Gu Yan and I were sitting next to them, and it was really annoying to listen to them.”
Zhao Shuyi glanced at the other person's face and saw that the other person was in a daze. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she still continued, "Moreover, she said that her daughter's boyfriend at the military hospital was someone she looked down on because he was a doctor who had no power or influence. She wanted to force her daughter to break up with the doctor and then introduce her to someone better."
"Oh, and also, she has a son."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian almost trembled.
She wasn't stupid; she knew Zhao Shuyi might have found out something.
However, Zhao Shuyi didn't elaborate, she just waved her hand and said, "There are all kinds of people in this world, I'm too lazy to even talk about it, it's disgusting to even think about it."
Li Qian continued to clench her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes.
Even if Zhao Shuyi didn't finish speaking, she could guess what the mother and daughter would say next; they would definitely talk about her.
"Comrade Li Qian, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Zhao Shuyi pretended not to know anything about her situation and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, Dr. Zhao. I have something to attend to and would like to leave now."
She was clearly losing control of her emotions.
"Don't go yet, I'd like to give you some moxibustion first."
Zhao Shuyi was worried about her leaving like this, so she pretended not to notice her lapse in composure and said, "I've been thinking about it carefully just now. Your condition can be greatly improved with moxibustion. I happen to have some time now, so why don't you go inside and lie down first?"
Zhao Shuyi somewhat forcefully pushed her into the consultation room inside. Li Qian did not refuse, but she was still in a bad mood.
Zhao Shuyi prepared the necessary items and then massaged and applied hot compresses to her, trying to calm her down, but she did not force her to talk to her.
So it didn't take long for the other party to adjust.
The two of them stayed at the clinic until lunchtime.
When Gu Yan and Ye Xuedong didn't see their wives return home, they both went to the clinic.
While Li Qian was tidying her clothes in the room, Zhao Shuyi mentioned to Ye Xuedong that the other party was in a bad mood.
"You need to keep an eye on her a little and make sure nothing happens to her. If she's in a bad mood at home, you can encourage her to come out and interact with us more, whether it's to see Sister Mulan or Zhang Yue. They're both very easy to talk to."
Ye Xuedong was always easy to talk to in front of Zhao Shuyi. He would listen to whatever Zhao Shuyi said and thank her.
The four of them left the clinic together. After they separated, Zhao Shuyi told Gu Yan about how she had carefully selected what to tell Li Qian.
"I thought she would want to know, so I mentioned it to her, but she got a little excited. I don't know if it will affect her."
Zhao Shuyi realized that she might be projecting her own experience onto others. If she had suffered such great harm, she would definitely want to see her enemies get their comeuppance.
But reminding Li Qian of that family again was like rubbing salt into her wounds.
Zhao Shuyi was unsure whether she had really done the right thing.
Gu Yan said, "It's okay. She shouldn't be such a fragile person, otherwise she probably wouldn't have survived to this day. Besides, I suspect that Ye Xuedong was the one who did it."
Zhao Shuyi's eyes widened.
"That matter, what matter, is it about the director being arrested?"
Gu Yan said, "It's not just that the director was arrested, but also Han Qiqi's wedding."
Not to mention, Zhao Shuyi had forgotten about Han Qiqi.
"Is Han Qiqi already married?"
Gu Yan nodded, "It was on the day we went to the city."
Although Han Qiqi's marriage was widely known, Zhao Shuyi hadn't really paid much attention to it. But upon hearing this, she had to speak up.
"Ye Xuedong is really cunning."
The day they marry the woman, they probably report her to the authorities, and she'll be arrested the next day.
"Han Qiqi probably wouldn't want to suffer with that family."
Judging from what I heard that day, even if that family didn't get shot, they would definitely be sent to the farm for reform through labor. Knowing Han Qiqi's character, she would definitely find a way to escape.
"Ye Xuedong won't let her escape so easily, and Teacher Lin's family won't allow Han Qiqi to come back and ruin her and her husband's reputation."
Although their reputation in the family compound was already bad because of Han Qiqi, it was only a minor incident at that time.
If Han Qiqi were to return, that would be a truly significant event; the residents of the family compound would likely have to avoid them.
Things were so quick and easy that Zhao Shuyi didn't know what to say. All she could say was that evil people will eventually be punished by heaven.
Zhao Shuyi didn't hear much about the commotion in the family compound, which made her and Gu Yan even more convinced that Ye Xuedong was behind it.
Upon closer reflection, Ye Xuedong can't be blamed. It's just that Han Qiqi is inhuman. Not only did she take away his wife, but she also targeted his second wife.
If it were Zhao Shuyi, she probably wouldn't want her to stay in the family compound and cause her trouble.
But Ye Xuedong had no conflict with the Han couple, so once they left, he didn't need to make a fool of himself in front of the people in the family compound.
However, the fact that Ye Xuedong doesn't make a fool of himself doesn't mean the Han family can stop making a scene.
Han Ming is currently in a state of utter chaos.
"Xiaoyu, please help Qiqi. She's my only sister."
Hearing this, Lin Yu's expression grew even colder.
“I can’t help her. You know we’re in a sensitive period right now. How can we help her? I’ll have my dad talk to the farm and try to make things a little easier for her.”
Han Ming was still somewhat unwilling.
"But that family was introduced by your father, shouldn't he help them out?"
Lin Yu looked at Han Ming in disbelief.
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'my dad introduced her'? Didn't you give your approval yourself?"
“My dad introduced her to potential partners, and it turned into a feud. Don’t you know what kind of person your sister is? He’s introduced her to so many men before, but she didn’t like any of them.”
"And she still had to steal someone else's man!"
"Lin Yu, don't go too far with your words!"
Han Ming got angry when he heard about something embarrassing.
Lin Yu sneered again, "If I said I went too far, why don't you go outside and listen to what the people in the family compound are saying about her?"
"She dares to do it herself, so why is she afraid of what others will say?"
Lin Yu's chest heaved with anger.
The thought of how she had gone to the Ye family to help create opportunities for Han Qiqi made her feel disgusted.
How could there be such a disgusting sister-in-law as Han Qiqi in this world?
If she had known earlier that Han Ming had such a younger sister, she would never have married him.
“What others say is their business, but she’s my sister, how can you say such things about her?”
"I asked you what happened to her, and I just wanted to know if she had done those things, right?"
Lin Yu's eyes grew even colder. "Don't think I don't know. You're using your access to officers' files to find suitable candidates for her, like a princess choosing a husband. It's disgusting!"
"If you get caught, you can forget about having a future!"
Han Ming was shocked, but he certainly couldn't admit it at this moment.
He was somewhat blustering but actually weak-willed. "What nonsense are you spouting? When have I ever done such a thing? How would I know who she's interested in?"
Lin Yu glanced at him.
His words were hardly pleasant to hear.
"A coward who dares to do something but doesn't dare to admit it."
After saying that, she turned around, slammed the door, and went into the room, making Han Ming grit his teeth in anger.
I was so careful, how could she have known?
He didn't really dote on Han Qiqi, his younger sister, but he certainly had some affection for her; however, that affection was insignificant compared to his future prospects.
This was originally just a small matter, as long as Han Qiqi and
That man got divorced and cut off all ties, so that matter has nothing to do with Han Qiqi. How could she not help?
Lin Yu is deliberately refusing to help!
Thinking about this, Han Ming felt a surge of anger.
How could he have a sister who was sent to a farm for reform?
And if his parents found out about this, they would definitely scold him. They are hoping that Han Qiqi can find a good son-in-law who will continue to bring them benefits.
Han Ming pinched the bridge of his nose, truly unsure of what to do.
Ever since her trip to Kunming, Zhao Shuyi has started tidying up her home.
Gu Yan usually comes home early every day, and then he stays by Zhao Shuyi's side like a big dog.
It's clear that he really misses Zhao Shuyi.
Zhao Shuyi was also very reluctant to part with him.
Seeing him glancing at her from time to time, Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but soften her heart.
"Otherwise, I won't go."
Actually, she didn't have to go; she could do just fine at the clinic in the family compound.
She hasn't fully mastered Dr. Wang's skills yet.
Moreover, Zhao Shuyi knew that her advantage lay in the spiritual spring water.
Therefore, she might be more successful in pharmaceutical research than in medical research.
Gu Yan didn't take her words seriously at all. Instead, he stepped forward, hugged Zhao Shuyi tightly, and then showered her with a passionate kiss.
Zhao Shuyi's body went weak from his kisses, and she was unconsciously pushed onto the bed.
She felt the other person's large hand slip inside her clothes.
The scalding touch gradually moved upwards, and Zhao Shuyi was so dizzy from the kisses that she felt dizzy.
She made unbearable, shameful sounds.
Gu Yan was taken aback, then his movements became even more hurried.
Just as the two were about to get into a passionate encounter, Gu Yan suddenly stopped.
Zhao Shuyi looked at him with her watery eyes, and Gu Yan felt like he was on fire.
"You rest for a while, I'll go boil some water for a bath."
Zhao Shuyi was stunned, not quite understanding what Gu Yan meant.
Do we need to wash ourselves clean before having sex?
She found it inexplicably funny.
How can Gu Yan be so innocent?
Is this how people are these days?
However, just as Zhao Shuyi was anxiously waiting for the evening to arrive, Gu Yan finished his shower but did not do anything to her.
He kissed her for a while, then hugged her and said, "Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow."
Zhao Shuyi was stunned for a while, wanting to ask, but not knowing how to start.
She couldn't very well ask him why he didn't want to sleep with her.
Feeling increasingly frustrated, Zhao Shuyi kicked him.
"Don't hug me. I'm not feeling well, try to fall asleep."
He only heard half of Gu Yan's words before he quickly stood up and stared at Zhao Shuyi.
"Are you feeling unwell? Where does it hurt?"
The anxiety in his tone was genuine; he was truly worried about Zhao Shuyi.
Zhao Shuyi snorted.
"I'm not feeling unwell, I just don't want you to hold me."
Gu Yan was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Shuyi to give this answer.
These past few days, the two of them have been sleeping together, with Gu Yan holding Zhao Shuyi as he falls asleep; he's gotten used to it.
Now that he suddenly wouldn't let him hug anymore, Gu Yan was a little at a loss, not knowing what he had done wrong.
"daughter in law."
Gu Yan clung to him again, his tone pleading for reconciliation.
Zhao Shuyi ignored him.
Seeing this, Gu Yan's heart sank. He had no idea why his wife was angry.
If Zhao Shuyi goes to Chuncheng with this anger, will she still acknowledge him as her husband when they meet again?
"So, tell me if I did something wrong. Don't be angry with me. Getting angry will only harm your health and cause more worry."
His tone was somewhat humble, which made Zhao Shuyi deflate like a punctured balloon, and she didn't know how to be angry with him anymore.
But she just couldn't bring herself to say it.
But Gu Yan wouldn't give up; he kept pestering Zhao Shuyi.
“‘Speak up, we agreed not to keep things bottled up inside.’”
Zhao Shuyi gritted her teeth, wanting to say something but she really couldn't bring herself to say it; after all, people still have some sense of shame.
Seeing that she was still ignoring him, Gu Yan was genuinely starting to panic.
But he had no choice but to keep pestering Zhao Shuyi.
"Shuyi, what's wrong? Just tell me, give me a hint, otherwise how can I feel at ease letting you go to Chuncheng?"
When a grown man starts acting cute, Zhao Shuyi can't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing her smile, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I still don't know what I did wrong, at least I'm not angry with myself anymore.
He breathed a sigh of relief too soon.
Zhao Shuyi said softly, "Why are you unwilling to stay with me until the end? Is there something you're worried about?"
Gu Yan's movements were actually quite clumsy, but both of them were young men full of vigor, and such intimacy inevitably led to some heated arguments.
Gu Yan was really too much. When he left people in an awkward position, he just walked away.
Gu Yan never expected that Zhao Shuyi's displeasure would stem from this.
He felt all the blood rushing to one place in his body, and his reason was almost out of his control.
After saying those words, Zhao Shuyi was already planning to play dead.
She had never done anything so shameful in either of her lives, but she really wanted to know why, and she could clearly feel that Gu Yan truly had feelings for her.
Just as Zhao Shuyi was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a warm kiss land on his lips.
Gu Yan, breathing rapidly, asked, "Is it okay?"
Zhao Shuyi responded to him with a kiss.
In the end, Zhao Shuyi was just too young.
If she had even a little experience, she would never have taken the initiative to do this.
After doing it once, she felt like she was about to die.
Then, in a daze, I heard Gu Yan's explanation.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I want to hold you every day, but you're going to Kunming. What will I do after you leave?"
Hearing his words, Zhao Shuyi became more sober.
My cheeks felt hot just now.
Her voice was soft and sweet, and she felt that it was the perfect time to bring up her idea.
"Too frequent is also not good."
But it was her soft, sweet voice that reignited Gu Yan's anger.
He hugged Zhao Shuyi and said, "Shall we do it again?"
"You went to Kunming, and I'm all alone in this empty house."
Before Zhao Shuyi could soften her heart, Gu Yan leaned in and sealed her already stinging lips with his.
Zhao Shuyi was thoroughly taken advantage of again, and she really couldn't take it anymore. She didn't even know when she fell asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already broad daylight outside.
Zhao Shuyi supported her aching lower back.
I feel terrible.
She quickly entered the space and took a good bath in the spiritual spring water, only then did she feel alive again.
With the experience gained from this day.
Gu Yan was going further and further each day, using both coaxing and deception to say all sorts of nice things to her.
Zhao Shuyi would blush and become powerless to defend herself each time.
But once daytime arrived, Gu Yan reverted to his gentlemanly demeanor.
It's infuriating to look at.
Zhao Shuyi didn't dare tease him anymore. If she teased him during the day, she would be the one who suffered at night.
It's just that between men and women, it's probably nothing special.
Since breaking through the final level, their relationship has become intimately close at a visible speed.
It's sticky and gooey all day long.
Even Zhang Yue noticed that something was wrong with her, and she teased Zhao Shuyi.
"So, is Deputy Regiment Commander Gu's muscle as you described?"
When she first arrived, she was still a virgin and didn't understand many things. Once she did, she naturally realized that the relationship between Zhao Shuyi and Gu Yan was still somewhat distant.
But things have been completely different these past two days, and Zhang Yue is determined to get back at Zhao Shuyi for teasing her before.
Zhao Shuyi ignored her, which made her laugh out loud.
Knowing that Zhao Shuyi had gone to Chuncheng and might not return for a long time, Zhang Yue was particularly reluctant to part with her. These past two days, whenever Gu Yan was not around, she would often come to Zhao Shuyi's place to help her pack her things.
As the two were packing their things, Zhou Li suddenly ran over.
"Master's wife, you've arrived."
"Come with me to see what's going on; there's something interesting happening at Han Qiqi's house."
Hearing the excitement, Zhang Yue's gossip-loving spirit was ignited.
"What's all the commotion about? Didn't she get married? Why is there still any commotion?"
Could it be that things have been non-stop ever since they returned home?
Zhou Li pulled the two of them and walked out.
"Let's talk as we walk."
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that something happened to Han Qiqi's in-laws, and the whole family was sent to a farm for re-education."
"They went for reformation." Zhang Yue was incredibly shocked. "Did Han Qiqi go too?"
She felt a little sorry for Han Qiqi. She had only been married for a few days, and this kind of thing had happened. How unlucky!
"Yes, they went too. Now Han Qiqi's parents are here, saying they want Teacher Lin to give them an explanation. Because Teacher Lin was the one who introduced that family, and now that she's introduced them to the farm, they definitely want an explanation."
This is truly a grand spectacle; Zhang Yue ran off incredibly fast on her own without Zhou Li even having to urge her.
Before the three of them even got close, they heard a loud, wailing commotion.
Upon closer inspection, a woman with half-gray hair was sitting in front of the Han family's courtyard gate, repeatedly slapping her thigh.
“My daughter, you have such a hard life. You have such a heartless sister-in-law who introduced you to such criminals, causing you to go to the farm at such a young age.”
"Those damned bastards are deliberately trying to harm you."
More and more people gathered in front of the Han family's house, and the woman's howling grew louder and louder, clearly indicating that she wanted to wail for everyone's benefit.
Beside her stood a man, who looked rather simple and honest, seemingly at a loss for what to do.
Across from them, the Han couple looked extremely grim.
Sister Huang was already there trying to persuade them.
"Let's talk this out. You're not getting anywhere by making such a racket."
The woman persisted, saying, "I don't care, she has to stay with my daughter. If she doesn't let my daughter come back, I'll cry myself to death in this residential compound."
Sister Huang spoke a fair word.
"Whether your daughter comes back or not is not up to Teacher Lin."
"How could she not make the decision? Her father is a high-ranking official."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and Lin Yu's expression became extremely ugly.
"Don't talk nonsense. Let's get up and talk things out. When we encounter problems, we need to solve them, right?"
“You’re all in cahoots, what problems can you solve? I don’t believe you.”
At this moment, Lin Yu asked casually, "So, do you want your daughter to come back, or do you want me to give you eight hundred yuan?"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Even Han Ming, who was standing next to Lin Yu, was somewhat stunned.
The woman hesitated noticeably, and a greedy glint appeared in her eyes.
Before Han Ming could react, she said, barely able to contain her excitement, "If Qiqi really can't come back, you can pay me eight hundred yuan."
After saying that, she tried to cover it up even more.
“I’m not thinking about that little bit of money, but you’ve caused my daughter to go to the farm. How will she find a good family to marry into when she comes out? I definitely have to save up for her dowry.”
If anyone believed her, then something was definitely amiss.
We're all this age, we've seen it all. Her little schemes aren't that deep. She's making such a scene just to get money, isn't she?
Zhao Shuyi looked at Lin Yu, but Lin Yu still had the same calm and collected expression as before.
Han Ming, standing next to her, seemed a little anxious.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. We're all family. Qiqi is a bit willful, so it's good for her to suffer a bit. I'll prepare a dowry for her when she comes back."
Upon hearing this, the woman was absolutely furious.
"What do you know? That's your sister, not some random Tom, Dick, or Harry. How can you be so heartless? Do you know how many years she'll have to stay on the farm? Ten years! If she stays there for ten years, she'll be an old maid when she comes out. Who would want to marry her then?"
"All you ever do is defend this woman!"
"How could our Han family have married such a daughter-in-law?" She started slapping her thigh again.
"Mom." Han Ming looked helpless, seemingly unable to do anything about his own mother.
Actually, he was also secretly planning something.
He knew that Lin Yu was someone who particularly hated trouble and also hated others watching her make a fool of herself, so in order to quell the matter quickly, she would definitely compromise.
He could either save lives or take the money; either way, it would benefit him.
And what about him?
He's just a dutiful son who can't stop his parents from being filial. What did he do wrong?
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu suddenly said, "I can give you eight hundred yuan. Take the money and I will divorce Han Ming. We don't have any children, so the divorce will be easier."
These words shocked everyone even more.
How could it have come to the point of divorce?
"Xiaoyu, don't joke around. That's just how my mom is. You know that. Don't take it to heart."
Han Ming was really panicked. He grabbed Lin Yu and kept saying nice things to her.
But Lin Yu didn't even look at him; instead, she stared coldly at her mother-in-law on the ground.
Han's mother was clearly stunned, probably not expecting Lin Yu to suddenly be so tough.
Only she herself knew how much she had benefited from Lin Yu's relationship.
If her son really divorced Lin Yu, her son would definitely not be able to find a better marriage partner.
But she was already used to manipulating her son and daughter-in-law, and she didn't know how to speak softly.
She argued back, "You're already my son's woman, and you still want a divorce? You're dreaming! You're not saying this because you're seeing someone else, are you?"
These words were so outrageous that even the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore.
Everyone criticized Han's mother.
"Mom, can you stop talking nonsense? Xiaoyu and I have a good relationship. If you hadn't come here to make trouble, Xiaoyu wouldn't have said those hurtful things."
When Han Ming got angry, his mother was clearly frightened. She shrank back and didn't say anything more.
Lin Yu saw this and her feelings became even more complicated.
She knew that Han Ming had always been able to control his parents, but he always let them make a scene in front of her. The reason was simply that it didn't affect his interests.
The whole family is selfish!
Lin Yu closed her eyes, unable to hide her disappointment.
Seeing her like this, Han Ming's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly said some nice things.
"Xiaoyu, don't listen to my mom's nonsense. You know that's just the kind of person she is—stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside, and she always tries to take advantage of others. She really didn't mean to target you."
Lin Yu slowly pulled her arm away from his grasp and then looked at him.
Han Ming felt uneasy under that look.
"Yes, that's the kind of person your mother is, of course I know. Your sister is the same way. They're both selfish, greedy, boastful, and troublesome."
These words were extremely blunt, making Han Ming's face turn particularly ugly.
But Lin Yu didn't give him a chance to refute, and continued to speak.
"Just because they are this kind of people, we have to give in to them, let them continue to take advantage of others, continue to cause trouble outside, and let them affect us. Is this what you've always done?"
"I'm not." Han Ming wanted to deny it, but he found that he couldn't find a reason to deny it.
Because what Lin Yu said was indeed true.
What he often said was, "You know what kind of person Mom is, and you know what kind of person Qiqi is, so can't you be more accommodating to them?"
Lin Yu sneered.
"Do you know why Han Qiqi has become like this? It's because of your mother's teaching and your indulgence! Every time I talk to you about it, you say that's just the kind of person she is and that I should be more accommodating to her."
"If I give way, will the people outside give way to her?"
As Lin Yu was speaking, she suddenly glanced at Zhao Shuyi beside her.
Then she quickly turned back.
"I can't live like this anymore, let's get a divorce. If you don't, I'll file a lawsuit in court and go through the divorce proceedings."
