With the feed sales problem solved, Guan Wenru was in a rare good mood.
As soon as she finished get off work that day, she drove her jeep back to the military base, drove directly to the barracks, and walked towards the family compound.
She hadn't walked a short distance when she bumped into Lin Jiaman, who had just come from the medical team and whose face was ashen.
The moment Guan Wenru saw Lin Jiaman, her eyes turned icy cold, and her hands clenched into fists at her sides, her knuckles turning white.
It took a lot of effort for her to suppress the murderous intent surging in her heart.
Lin Jiaman did not notice Guan Wenru's unusual behavior.
Upon seeing Guan Wenru, she adjusted her expression, forcing a forced smile, and habitually adopted the airs of an elder:
"Hey, Wenru, where are you from? I heard you're a factory manager now?"
Guan Wenru pursed her lips, "Looks like your grandchildren are easy to take care of? You still have time to gossip about me."
"..." Lin Jiaman's expression turned very bad when she mentioned the two children with disabilities.
She frowned, ignoring Guan Wenru's words, and said what she wanted to say, "Wenru, look at you, always rushing around like this, why are you so tired? As a woman, you should pay more attention to your appearance and avoid showing your face in public."
Guan Wenru did not respond to her.
Lin Jiaman continued speaking to herself, in a condescending 'lecturing' tone, "If you ask me, you should quit being that factory manager as soon as possible. A woman's job is to take care of her family."
Being a factory manager...that's a man's job! What kind of image do you project, always running around like this? If Yanzhi's dad knew, he definitely wouldn't be happy..."
"Aunt Lin!" Guan Wenru suddenly interrupted her, her voice as cold as ice shards, "The Qing Dynasty has been gone for years, how come you still have a cerebellum?"
"!" Lin Jiaman was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red with anger. "You! What did you say?! How dare you talk to me like that?! You have no manners! I am your elder!"
"Elder? You dare to say that?" Guan Wenru stared at her with a sinister look in her eyes. "Watch your mouth! What I do is none of your business."
"You!" Lin Jiaman took a deep breath, trying to soften her tone, but her voice still carried a sense of condescension. "Fine, fine, I'm too lazy to argue with you! Wenru, let bygones be bygones."
I know you harbor resentment towards the Han family, but it's all that vixen Zhao Mei's fault! She shamelessly seduced Haoxian and bewitched him! Haoxian never intended to wrong you.
"Shut up!" Guan Wenru's gaze was as sharp as a knife. She didn't care about manners with this kind of person and spoke directly, "Stop talking nonsense! How dare you say that Zhao Mei seduced Han Haoxian?"
Ha! A woman can get pregnant all by herself? Is your son Han Haoxian dead?
Was he tied up by Zhao Mei? Or did he lose his mind and lose control of his pants?! Tell me, where exactly is Han Haoxian 'innocent' in this mess?!
"You! You!" Lin Jiaman nearly choked on her words, clutching her chest, pointing at Guan Wenru, trembling with anger. "You, Guan Wenru! You're utterly unreasonable! You don't know what's good for you! For my grandfather's sake, I kindly tried to reconcile with your Guan family, and you..."
"Stop with your hypocrisy!" Guan Wenru's eyes were filled with utter disgust, showing no mercy. "Don't pretend, I'm not buying it!"
After saying that, she didn't look at Lin Jiaman, who was so angry that her liver hurt and she was almost fainting, and walked straight past her and strode away.
Lin Jiaman stood there, clutching her chest, panting heavily with anger, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
You're going to die!
Guan Wenru is going to die!
...
After shaking off Lin Jiaman, Guan Wenru went straight home.
She pushed open the door, her face still gloomy. She went straight to the table, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it.
Hearing the noise, Guan Wanxin came out of the kitchen with a smile, "You're back. How did things go at the factory today?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Guan Wenru's expression was off, and her smile instantly vanished. "What's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Is things still not going well at the factory?"
Guan Wenru put down her water glass, her voice carrying a suppressed coldness, "It's not about the factory. I ran into Lin Jiaman on my way back."
"..." Guan Wanxin's eyes sharpened instantly, and her voice turned cold. "What did she say to you?"
"Heh... Maybe they were afraid I was too outstanding, so they tried to persuade me not to become the factory manager, saying that women should stay at home, and even pretended to say that the past is the past, that it was all Zhao Mei who seduced him, and that Han Haoxian was innocent! Han Haoxian didn't mean to lie to me!"
"I knew it!" Guan Wanxin's eyes flashed with anger, but her tone remained unusually calm, even carrying a hint of reassurance:
"This kind of person is the type who's stubborn even when they're about to die! They're always right about the child they gave birth to! Forget it, don't get angry over such filthy things, it's not worth it."
Don't worry, Grandma's here. She won't be able to keep this up for long. Grandma will take care of them quickly; none of them will get away!
Guan Wenru's tense expression eased slightly. "Grandma, I know you're boiling water?"
"Oh, yes, I'll go fill up a few thermos flasks."
After her grandmother went into the kitchen, Guan Wenru took out dinner from her spatial storage.
Today she brought out white rice and two dishes.
When she sat down to eat, she had just picked up a chicken wing and hadn't even taken a bite when a strong feeling of nausea suddenly surged up her throat.
She suddenly covered her mouth and turned to the side, gagging.
Guan Wanxin immediately put down her chopsticks and walked quickly to her side, gently patting her back, "Feeling unwell again? Why is this reaction even worse than a few days ago?"
"No...it's nothing!" Guan Wenru vomited until tears came out, and she waved her hand with difficulty, "I'll be fine after a while, Grandma, you eat first."
