Guan Ailian had just had a great time arguing with Qian's mother, but after leaving Lishutun, she felt a little regretful for being too impulsive.
The matter has become so serious that my parents-in-law will definitely go crazy when I go back, right?
Guan Ailian became more and more worried. "My parents-in-law will definitely be furious when they see us bringing Ruoling back home."
Lu Ruoling was afraid that Guan Ailian would ask her to go back again, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to live with Qian Yong. It's not cold now. If my parents don't let me go into the house, I can sleep in the haystack. Just give me something to eat when it's time to eat."
Yang Niannian had just come back to her senses from the war of words, and when she heard this, she almost burst out laughing. She felt that it was a bit unkind to laugh at this time, so she puffed out her cheeks to comfort herself.
"Don't be afraid. As long as you are determined not to follow Qian Yong, I will never let you go back."
Guan Ailian also said, "The old woman is so unreasonable. If you go back again, wouldn't that be like jumping into a fire pit?"
She looked at Yang Niannian again, as if she had made up her mind, and said very righteously, "Sister-in-law, I am your sister-in-law, and I should stand in front of you. If my parents-in-law want to blame me, just say that I wanted to bring Ruoling back. My mother's family is nearby, so my parents-in-law will at most scold me a few times, but they dare not really hit me."
Hearing that she might get beaten again, Lu Ruoling shrank her neck in fear, but still mustered up the courage to say, "Let them beat me if they want. I have thick skin and can withstand beatings."
Yang Niannian almost laughed again. Seeing that both of them were frowning and ready to be beaten, she quickly told them what she was planning.
"Don't worry. My parents-in-law don't want me to get a divorce because they think it's embarrassing and they don't want to return the money."
She looked at Lu Ruoling and said, "I'll help you with the divorce money. I have a small business in Haicheng, so you can go there and help me. I'll pay you a salary."
Jiang Yang couldn't recruit workers, so it was just right for her to bring Lu Ruoling over there. It also saved her parents-in-law from finding some messy man for Ruoling to marry.
Lu Ruoling's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was frowning just now, but instantly she was smiling.
"Second sister-in-law, I don't want a salary, just provide me with food, and I'll do whatever you tell me to do."
Guan Ailian finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
"Sister-in-law, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't be so worried. Oh my god, I've been worried that our father-in-law would really kill someone with his hoe."
Yang Niannian explained with a smile, "I was not sure about Ruoling's thoughts before, so it was difficult to make a decision."
Lu Ruoling said quickly, "I don't want to live with Qian Yong. He doesn't wash his feet before going to bed and he wets the bed at night."
Yang Niannian became more determined to take Lu Ruoling away.
"Then go home and explain things to your parents-in-law, and go to the Qian family tomorrow to resolve the matter all at once. Bring the police along with you, so that the Qian family won't ask for too much."
"Sister-in-law, you are so thoughtful." Guan Ailian was full of admiration. "You are thin but smart, unlike Ruoling and I, who are strong but stupid."
Lu Ruoling, "I'm thinner now and I'm not so anxious and clever."
Guan Ailian laughed for a while, then said seriously, "Ruoling, your second sister-in-law shouldn't pay for the marriage break-up money. When you earn a salary, you should return the money to your second sister-in-law."
This mother-in-law's sister is slow-witted and doesn't think things through, so as the eldest sister-in-law, she can only give her some pointers.
Lu Ruoling nodded, "I will work like a cow or a horse for my second sister-in-law in the future, and all the money I earn will be given to her."
She had never traveled far, had never come into contact with outsiders, had lived in the village since she was a child, had only been to town a few times, and was slow-witted and simple-minded.
She had always listened to Ma Xiuzhu since she was a child. After she got married, Ma Xiuzhu no longer cared about her, and she lost her backbone.
When she heard that Yang Niannian was going to take her away, she immediately regarded Yang Niannian as her new backbone.
The idea that Ma Xiuzhu instilled in her was that the money she earned should not be embezzled but should be handed over to her parents. She has not yet changed her mindset and feels that it is her right to give the money to her second sister-in-law.
The three of them returned home quickly. Lu Guozhi and Ma Xiuzhu thought that Lu Ruoling had come back to visit her parents, so they treated her quite well and had smiles on their faces.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ruoling opened her mouth and said, "Dad, Mom, I don't want to talk to Qian Yong anymore. I will go and explain everything to Qian Yong tomorrow."
Ma Xiuzhu immediately exploded, started cursing, and pushed the people out.
"I used the money to treat my illness. I don't have the money to break off the engagement with you. I married you off, and you belong to the Qian family. A married girl is like spilled water. Even if you die, you will still be a ghost of the Qian family."
Lu Guozhi was also furious. "If you don't follow Qian Yong, don't ever step into the Lu family's door in your life. I can't afford to lose this person."
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"
Guan Ailian and Lu Qingyuan tried to persuade Ma Xiuzhu and Lu Guozhi respectively, but the two would not listen to their advice at all. Lu Guozhi even wanted to beat Lu Qingyuan.
Ma Xiuzhu also took the opportunity to find fault, "Whose idea was it? Who instigated Ruo Ling to divorce?"
Yang Niannian replied crisply, "It's my idea."
Ma Xiuzhu pointed the finger directly at Yang Niannian, "I knew it was you. If you didn't come back, nothing would happen. But when you come back, things will get chaotic at home. You asked Ruoling to divorce, so why don't you return the betrothal money to the Qian family?"
Yang Niannian nodded and replied lightly, "I'll withdraw."
When Lu Guozhi heard that it was Yang Niannian's idea, he stopped targeting Lu Qingyuan.
With a sullen face, he said, "Second brother's wife, although I was unhappy at first when you married me, I didn't say anything. I know that the second brother dotes on you. I can't control how you are doing in the army, and I won't care. But in this family, as long as I am still alive, it is not your turn to make the decision."
Seeing Lu Guozhi getting angry at Yang Niannian, Guan Ailian quickly said, "Dad, this was not only Nian Nian's idea, I also had one..."
Ma Xiuzhu jumped up and down, pointing at Guan Ailian's nose and yelling, "What do you have? I knew you two were joining forces to cause trouble. Do you think your father and I are dead?"
Ever since Yang Niannian came in, Ma Xiuzhu had been pinned down and hadn't been able to turn over. This time when she got the chance, she got really angry and wanted to scream at the top of her lungs.
Lu Ruoling was so scared that she cried and didn't dare to say a word, but she was ready to be beaten. She stared at Lu Guozhi and Ma Xiuzhu, ready to rush over and act as a human sandbag if something went wrong.
Facing the cold faces of her parents-in-law, Yang Niannian was not afraid. Instead, she remained calm and composed. She said in a loud voice.
"Father-in-law, you know that Qian Yong is a fool, but you still let Ruoling live with him. Isn't this shameful? Won't others laugh at you for being a coward behind your back? They will also say that our family doesn't love Ruoling and that we are afraid of the Qian family. I just said that I will pay for Ruoling's divorce. After the marriage is cancelled, I will take Ruoling out to work and send her salary back to you every month. Isn't this better than letting her suffer in the Qian family?"
She knew that Lu Guozhi was very concerned about his reputation, so she deliberately poked Lu Guozhi's heart. She also knew that Ma Xiuzhu was greedy for money, so she talked about the salary issue.
Let them agree to divorce first. As for the salary, they certainly cannot be sent back in full.
When Ma Xiuzhu heard that Lu Ruoling was going to go out and earn money, her anger immediately subsided by half. She began to wonder whether it was more cost-effective to let Lu Ruoling go out and earn money, or whether it would be better for her to continue living with Qian Yong.
Lu Guozhi blushed at what Yang Niannian said. He was a very proud person and was most afraid of being laughed at behind his back. Every word of Yang Niannian's words hit him hard.
Seeing that he was silent with a gloomy face, Yang Niannian struck while the iron was hot and pulled Lu Ruoling in front of Lu Guozhi, "Look at how thin Ruoling has become, can you bear it?"
Lu Guozhi looked at Lu Ruoling with a stern face. To be honest, this was the daughter he raised. Even though she was not his biological daughter, he watched her grow up. It was impossible for him to say that he did not love her at all.
If you keep a dog for a long time, you will develop feelings for it.
