When Wang Xiangyu heard someone mention her, an idea suddenly flashed into her mind.
"Lu Chuan took me home, but who knew..." Wang Xiangyu saw that Lu Chuan didn't seem to want to expose her, and her eyes darted around, "but who knew I saw something I shouldn't have!"
"Although they were divorced, they were still husband and wife. Lu Chuan was furious and went to argue with him. But Li Haoran got angry and started a fight."
As soon as Wang Xiangyu finished speaking, the onlookers erupted in an uproar. A subtle, almost imperceptible smile played on her lips; she had killed two birds with one stone, both binding Lu Chuan to her own relationship and smearing Li Youran's reputation.
"That adulterous slut, she's even climbed into her own brother's bed! It's disgusting!"
"My God, this is simply unethical!"
"You may not know this, but Li Youran is not Lady Li's biological son."
Everyone was talking at once, and Li Youran, who was standing to the side, had a mouth big enough to fit an egg. Wang Xiangyu was really good at making up nonsense!
"Wang Xiangyu, I'll give you one more chance," Li Youran said in a low voice, frowning. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will never forgive you!"
"Everything I said is true!" Despite her guilty conscience, Wang Xiangyu still tried to appear calm.
Lu Chuan remained silent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. His only thought was that the worse Li Youran's reputation became, the more advantageous it would be for him.
Because of this, no one will marry Li Youran, and no one will know that secret...
Li Youran, adhering to the principle of "I won't offend others unless they offend me," had forgiven the two of them countless times, but now they had only become more brazen. From this day forward, she would never tolerate it again!
"You shameless little slut, stop spewing filth! Who knows what you've been up to, throwing mud at my sister."
As she spoke, Zhao Lanzhi, the second sister-in-law, rolled up her sleeves and pounced on Wang Xiangyu, grabbing her hair and refusing to let go.
"My eldest brother heard the commotion outside and rushed out," the second brother, Li Tairan, explained to everyone. "San Lengzi, you were squatting by the gate eating when my eldest brother went out, you must have seen him!"
“Yes, I can testify,” San Lengzi said, holding his rice bowl. “Wang Xiangyu is talking nonsense!”
When someone came forward to testify, everyone changed their stories.
"Xiangyu, you just said that Lu Chuan brought you back?"
"You two, a man and a woman alone together, definitely didn't do anything shameless!"
"Both of them are in their second marriage, so it's a good match."
Lu Chuan's face grew increasingly grim, turning from red to purple to black... "Foolish woman," he cursed Wang Xiangyu in his heart.
“I didn’t understand before. I have no grudge against Wang Xiangyu, so why would she lead the way to insult me?” Li Youran sobbed. “Today I understand.”
"Brother and sister-in-law, let's go home!" Li Youran pretended to be about to faint at any moment and said, "After all, Lu Chuan and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. It's his freedom to be with whomever he wants."
Since Wang Xiangyu is so eager to marry this pervert, then so be it.
"You Ran, you've misunderstood." Seeing Li Youran leave, Lu Chuan wanted to chase after her, but he was blocked by the crowd.
Unbeknownst to Li Youran, after she returned to her room, her sister-in-law was watching her intently from outside the door.
"Mother still hopes you can find a man who cares for you and understands your needs." Although a woman's home is good, it can't compare to marrying into a good family. Madam Li still hopes her daughter can get married.
"Don't listen to your mother." Li Dazhu took a puff of his pipe and looked at Li Youran with affection, saying, "Women can be self-reliant too. Since you want to establish a female household, your father supports you!"
“Support you? What can I offer to support you?” Madam Li sighed. “Things are different now. I’m living with my son and daughter-in-law now, and I have to ask for their opinions on everything I do. My son has no objections, but my daughter-in-law does. My eldest daughter-in-law has given me so many cold looks, it makes my heart ache.”
But Madam Li endured it all, just so that her daughter could have a more peaceful life at her parents' home.
“The eldest son is always a troublemaker. When I said I didn’t agree to this marriage, you weren’t happy about it. If you ask me, it would be better to…”
"Alright, that's all hindsight." Li Niangzi rarely argued with Li Dazhu, but today she was rather annoyed.
"Father and Mother, you don't need to worry about me. The wonton shop is doing very well, and I'll save enough money soon." Before Li Youran finished speaking, she heard banging and crashing sounds coming from her elder brother's room, as well as her sister-in-law Zhou Yingying's crying and cursing.
"I must have been blind to marry you!" Zhou Yingying said as she began to pack her clothes.
"mother……"
"Get out of here, go find your father!"
The little girl tried to get closer to Zhou Yingying, but was pushed away and made to squat on the ground.
"Waaaaah~ Mommy doesn't want me anymore~" the little girl cried loudly.
"What are you doing? Do you even act like a mother?" Li Haoran tenderly picked up Niu Niu and said to Zhou Yingying, "If you really don't want to live like this anymore, then let's get a divorce!"
"Fine, let's get a divorce!" Zhou Yingying had only meant to scare Li Haoran, but she hadn't expected him to say such harsh words. She decided to back down. "Whoever doesn't agree to a divorce is a bastard!"
"You scoundrel! Instead of trying to calm your wife down when she's arguing with you, you keep talking about divorce." Li Dazhu slapped Li Haoran hard across the face. "Your wife is your boss!"
Although he said he looked down on his eldest son's wife, Li Dazhu knew very well that he had to treat her well and not let her down.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, calm down. I'll deal with that bastard for you!" Madam Li said softly to Zhou Yingying while holding Niu Niu.
"Since Mom and Dad have said so, I won't argue with you." Zhou Ying threw aside the package in her hand, sat on the bed, pointed at Li Youran and said, "This family is either her or me, it's either her or me!"
"That's my sister!" Li Haoran looked at Zhou Yingying with bloodshot eyes. "Don't force me!"
Li Youran originally wanted to remain invisible, but she really didn't want her brother and sister-in-law to argue because of her.
“Brother and sister-in-law, now that there’s a new policy, women can register their own households. I’ll be living separately from now on in a few days.”
"If anyone's leaving, it should be her!" Before Li Youran could finish speaking, Li Haoran shouted, "I've had enough!"
"Everyone eats from the same pot, and every day they calculate who does how much work and how much food they get!"
"Ever since my little sister came back, there hasn't been a single day of peace and quiet!"
“We’re both daughters-in-law, but my second sister-in-law has never had any of these kinds of problems!”
Li Haoran blurted everything out, then slammed the door and left without looking back.
"You heartless bastard! I did all this for you!" Zhou Yingying was terrified by Li Haoran, and after a long while, she cried out, "Divorce! We must get a divorce!"
