After accepting He Yanzhi's marriage proposal, Guan Wenru couldn't sleep that night.
Even though in her mind she and He Yanzhi were already an old married couple, the thought of marrying him again still made her heart race.
She got up and went to class as usual the next day.
In the morning, after getting up, Lin Jiaman finally managed to scrape together the five thousand yuan and gave it to her.
To prevent Lin Jiaman from tampering with the money, she put it in her bag and took it to school.
After class in the afternoon, she walked back in a good mood.
She was going to deposit the money, but since she didn't have a spatial ability in this life, her dowry had already been hidden away and couldn't be taken out for the time being.
So money is very important to her now!
Her relationship with He Yanzhi also made a breakthrough, and everything was developing in the direction she had expected.
However, as soon as she stepped into the family compound, she keenly sensed that something was amiss.
Many neighbors gathered in twos and threes, pointing and whispering in the direction of the Han family's house.
Upon seeing her enter, the gazes instantly became complex, containing sympathy, curiosity, and... a hint of barely perceptible disdain.
Guan Wenru sneered inwardly, having probably guessed what was going on.
She remained expressionless and continued walking home.
Sure enough, as soon as they reached the open space in front of their house, Lin Jiaman, who had been waiting there, burst out of the house like a firecracker that had been lit, followed by Gu Siyu, who had a face full of resentment and smugness.
Gu Siyu doesn't live in the family compound, but she must have come here for something, and she's also waiting to see what's going on.
Lin Jiaman's face was ashen, her eyes blazing with fury, her fingers almost poking Guan Wenru's nose, her voice so shrill it could pierce the sky, instantly drawing the attention of all the onlookers:
"You shameless slut! You whore! You capitalist's little whore! You dare to come back!"
Guan Wenru stopped and looked at her calmly, her tone indifferent, "So you're planning to break off all ties with me?"
"I wish I could tear you apart, you shameless bastard!" Lin Jiaman trembled with rage, her voice hoarse and distorted with extreme anger. "You take our Han family's money and then go off to hide in the woods with some random guy! Doing all those shady things! What do you take our Han family for?! Huh?! Haoxian's body is barely cold! How dare you! How have you the nerve!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Wenru turned to look at Gu Siyu. Clearly, it was Gu Siyu who had brought this up.
The place where she and He Yanzhi rode horses was not close to the family compound, and few people went there.
The only one who could possibly catch them is probably Gu Siyu, since she's been keeping an eye on He Yanzhi.
Right now, these people are trying to label her with an extremely malicious "character" accusation.
An uproar erupted from the crowd, and the murmurs grew louder.
Guan Wenru's eyes instantly turned cold.
Lin Jiaman cursed more and more fiercely, as if she wanted to get back all the humiliation she had suffered yesterday and the pain of losing five thousand yuan. "You jinx! You jinxed husband and family!"
You think you can use our Han family's money to marry some random guy? Let me tell you! Not a chance! Unless I'm dead! You're a member of the Han family in life and in death! You'll have to protect Haoxian for us!"
In the heat of her argument, she habitually raised her hand, intending to repeat her previous tactic of slapping Guan Wenru across the face!
However, this time…
Her hand was only halfway raised!
Guan Wenru's eyes flashed, and his movements were as fast as lightning. He suddenly raised his hand and accurately grabbed Lin Jiaman's wrist as she swung it down!
Then, to everyone's astonishment, he slapped his other hand back without hesitation!
Snap!
A crisp, loud slap landed squarely on Lin Jiaman's face, which was contorted with rage!
The slap was so powerful that it stunned Lin Jiaman, causing her to stagger back two steps, leaving a clear five-finger mark on her face!
The entire courtyard fell silent instantly! Everyone was stunned!
Daughter-in-law hits mother-in-law?!
In an era that placed great importance on filial piety and seniority, this was simply appalling... an act of utter rebellion!
When Han Xiangdong and Han Fengjiao saw their grandmother being beaten, they yelled and rushed over, waving their little fists at Guan Wenru, shouting, "Bad woman! How dare you hit my grandma! We'll beat you to death!"
Guan Wenru's eyes were cold, and without the slightest hesitation, he attacked with both hands!
Snap!
Snap!
Two more merciless slaps landed precisely on the faces of the two children who rushed over!
The force was just right; it wouldn't actually hurt, but it would hurt enough and humiliate enough!
The two children were stunned by the beating. They covered their faces and stared in disbelief at their "mother," who seemed to have suddenly turned into a demon. They were so frightened that they forgot to cry.
silence!
A deathly silence!
Everyone was stunned speechless by Guan Wenru's three crisp, merciless slaps!
Lin Jiaman finally snapped out of her shock. Feeling the burning pain on her face and the strange looks from those around her, she went completely insane!
Shame, anger, and disbelief overwhelmed her reason in an instant!
She plopped down on the ground and began wailing and cursing without any regard for her image, slapping her thighs and spewing all sorts of vile insults, throwing vulgarities at Guan Wenru like dirty water:
"Oh no! Someone's been killed! The daughter-in-law is hitting her mother-in-law! May she be struck by lightning!"
"You worthless slut, ridden by a thousand men and stepped on by ten thousand! You whore! You cheated on me with another man!"
"You'll die a horrible death!!"
"What sins did our Han family commit to marry such a jinx like you! Haoxian! Open your eyes and see!"
For every curse she uttered, Guan Wenru would step forward, raise her hand, and slap her across the face without any expression!
