Han Jianming felt like someone had stepped on his tail, clenched his fist and swung it out, "You're asking for it."
Even as he was being held captive by a large hand, he continued to utter threats. But upon seeing the owner of that large hand, his anger vanished, and he trembled with fear.
Xie Lin's eyes were icy, and his words were like sharp arrows.
"If you dare hit her, I guarantee your whole family will be sent to the farm and starve."
He shoved Han Jianming against the wall, then coldly glanced at the girl, who trembled in fright and moved behind Han Jianming again.
Deng Yuehong sneered, "I've been through this before, everyone knows what happened."
"This must be an unmarried pregnancy. She has to support her waist and has a cloth bandage around her belly. It looks like she's quite far along. Tsk tsk, she's got eyebrows and eyes painted on her butt. What a big face."
"You're lying, I didn't." The girl broke down.
Having affairs before marriage is punishable by being paraded through the streets and sent to a farm; she certainly wouldn't admit it.
Shishi pouted, "You'll know whether she took off her clothes or not, I just touched it, there was a thick layer."
Feng Nian realized what was happening, and his laughter became even more sarcastic.
"I knew it! So that's why the Han family was in such a hurry to arrange a marriage. They couldn't keep it a secret any longer. Feng Yue, you're so despicable for stealing your own brother-in-law. Aren't you afraid of getting struck by lightning?"
"Han Jianming, return my job and all the wages I've earned over the years, not a penny less, or I'll expose your dirty secrets."
"Feng Nian, don't go too far. You're an adult. Can't we just part ways amicably?"
"The engagement was my family's idea. I've always only seen you as a friend. We've been friends since we were kids, how can you be so heartless?"
Han Jianming was terrified, but he still kept talking about benevolence and righteousness, trying to use the so-called childhood friendship to protect him.
"Sister, Jianming and I are truly in love. Jianming doesn't love you. Please let us be together. We're family. Do you really have to make things worse?"
Feng Yue turned pale with fright. If this got out, her life would be over.
"Haha, it turns out it really is just like what Guagua said, 'We are true love, and you are not loved because you are a mistress.'"
Shishi said she learned a lot and her mood soared. This melon is big and sweet.
"Three, three, hee hee hee." The little girl chimed in with her childish voice.
Deng Yuehong tapped her little nose and said, "You brat, do you even know what 'three' means?"
Feng Nian was so amused by the two children that she rolled her eyes halfway through, then stopped abruptly, cleared her throat, and forced herself back to her normal emotions.
"When you were fighting over a man, you weren't family; when you colluded with the Han family to seize my job, you weren't family; now that your dirty deeds have been exposed, you're talking about being family? Who are you trying to disgust?"
"Han Jianming, thanks to me, you don't have to do hard labor in the countryside anymore. Stop talking nonsense and pay me back my wages for the past four years right now, and then go back to the factory and transfer the job back to me."
Too lazy to argue, Feng Nian issued an ultimatum.
Why would someone who is only friends agree to an engagement?
Oh right, it was the Han family who introduced my stepfather and biological mother. My stepfather, now living a good life, took out his gratitude on her and secretly arranged the marriage in the name of the parents.
The hypocritical stepfather looked down on the Han family, so he refused to let his own daughter go on the job.
If he knew his own daughter was secretly pregnant with someone he looked down on, his expression would be quite interesting.
"Niannian, there's no need for things to get so tense among family members. Can we talk this out properly?" Mother Han said, trying to appeal to their emotions.
The sound of "Niannian" gave Feng Nian goosebumps.
"Don't try to disgust me. Give me back my money and my job, no questions asked. I'm waiting right here, hurry up."
“Feng Yue, don’t even think about leaving to abort the child and destroy evidence. The moment you leave, I’ll bring the Women’s Federation to the hospital to ambush you.”
Feng Yue stopped in her tracks, her face drained of color, and she leaned weakly against the wall with her head down, her nails digging into her flesh, her eyes filled with intense resentment.
Feng Nian, why didn't you die in the countryside? Why did you come back?
If you don't come back, your man will be mine, and all the good things your stupid mother's dowry and your deadbeat father left behind will also be mine, Feng Nian, go to hell.
Han Jianming didn't see the distortion in her eyes, and with a pained expression, he helped her into the house.
Shishi moved a small stool from Nannan's house and sat by the wall, staring intently at the neighbor across the street, determined to eat the freshest melon.
Three chickens squatted at her feet, the baby girl sat in the stroller, and five identical faces looked like they were watching a melon.
Fearing that Feng Nian would be taken advantage of, Deng Yuehong pulled her to her doorstep.
Two grown men acting as doorkeepers—quite a lineup.
Feng Nian was moved and said, "Thank you, Sister Deng."
"No need to thank me, I can see who is right and who is wrong." Deng Yuehong patted her hand to comfort her.
Shishi pulled Deng Yuehong down to squat down, "Mom, how old is my sister? Where is she from?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Nian squatted down and thanked him, saying, "Comrade, thank you for your help. My name is Feng Nian, I am 23 years old, and I live in the family compound, just two buildings away."
"What about your parents? Why didn't they come to your aid when you were being bullied?"
The light in Feng Nian's eyes dimmed. "My father is gone, and my mother doesn't love me. She only loves my stepsister and the two sons she had later."
Shishi's eyes lit up; the story was intriguing. "Could you tell me about it?"
I've only ever met my stepmother; this is the first time I've heard of my stepfather.
The principle of "keeping family scandals private" doesn't apply to Feng Nian.
"sure."
She spoke fluently, as if she were telling someone else's story.
Her original surname was Chen, and her given name was Chen Nian.
When she was a child, her biological father, Shen Jinzhou, died in the line of duty. She lost her father at the age of 5, and when she was 6, her biological mother, Qiao Chunli, married her stepfather, Feng Zhiguo.
Feng Zhiguo not only took her father's job, but also changed her name to Feng Nian.
The stepfather has a daughter named Feng Yue, who is three years younger than her. They appear to have a harmonious relationship, but in reality, there are countless dirty tricks they do.
Qiao Chunli tried her best to act like a biological mother, treating Feng Yue as well as her own daughter, while Feng Yue, the biological daughter, became a pitiful little girl without parents.
