"Wife, what exactly is she here for?" Li Baichuan felt that this person was indeed no ordinary person; he didn't understand a single word she said.
Is she trying to tell them that her home is decorated the same way as theirs, and that they shouldn't mind?
"He's showing off, but he's not very bright." Su Ti couldn't understand how someone like that could control the Du family.
He's acting crazy, like he thinks he's exceptionally smart.
"Showing off?" Grandma hadn't said anything the whole time, mainly because she had heard her daughter talk about some things about their family, and she felt that they were acting strangely.
"Ignore her. People like that can't be treated like normal people. As long as she doesn't cause trouble, her family has nothing to do with us."
Suti couldn't talk to her grandmother about the crazy thoughts of some abnormal people. If she could see through everything, she would be abnormal by now.
When Zhang Manli carried her child home, her eyes were filled with satisfaction.
"Manli, where have you gone again?" Du Wenshan turned around and she was gone. He had been keeping a close eye on her, afraid that she would do something again.
Judging from her appearance, something was definitely wrong.
"Where could I go? I took the child out for a walk." Zhang Manli looked at the man in front of her who was watching her cautiously with a look of disgust.
A real man isn't like him. What kind of future can someone who's controlled by a woman have?
"Don't run around with the child so late at night. The house has been tidied up as you asked. Are you satisfied now?"
Du Wenshan took the child. Since the last fire at his house, the weight on his heart was starting to lift.
He has already told his mother that when they are not home, they will make sure she has as little contact with the child as possible.
"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied." Zhang Manli didn't think much of it when he took the child; what did these fools know?
"Come inside, Mom has already cooked dinner." This was the only thing Du Wenshan couldn't criticize her for.
Even if she's crazy, she really loves Da Bao. Maybe she feels sorry for her sister, or maybe it's because Da Bao is her aunt and the child is related to her by blood.
But he was just a normal man, and she had acted like a chaste and virtuous woman ever since she married into the family, which puzzled him greatly.
They've been together before, and thinking about what his mother said, he felt like he couldn't take it anymore.
"Manli, leave the child with Mom tonight." Du Wenshan decided to give them one last chance.
If she can really be that ruthless, then he has to think about his own future.
“No, I’ve always been the one taking care of Da Bao, and he recognizes people at night.” Zhang Manli’s first reaction upon hearing this was to refuse.
She belatedly realized what Du Wenshan was up to, and felt disgusted, no longer giving him a second glance.
"I've told you all before, behave yourselves, or what happened last time is just the beginning." Zhang Manli looked at Du Wenshan, her disdain written all over her face.
“Zhang Manli, you were the one who wanted to marry me. I was living a good life with your sister, but you came and ruined our lives.”
"Now that you've gotten what you wanted, you look down on me. What are you thinking?" Du Wenshan really couldn't understand what she wanted.
She came from the countryside, and if it weren't for her family, she would have spent her whole life struggling to make a living in that remote mountain valley.
He has no family background, no good looks, no skills, and no education.
Now that they're allowed into the city, instead of expressing gratitude, they're putting on an arrogant and condescending attitude.
Where does her confidence come from? Does she think she has something on them? If she really pushes them too far, isn't she afraid they'll fight her to the death?
“Du Wenshan, you yourself said that I ruined your and my sister’s lives, so consider this my way of atoning for my sister’s sins.”
“My sister is watching from heaven. We can’t let her down. You’ll have to stay here and protect her for the rest of your life.”
“You should be grateful that you still have Da Bao. He will take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die. After all, if it weren’t for us sisters, you wouldn’t be able to survive in the Du family.”
Thinking of this, Zhang Manli looked at people with an arrogant expression, as if she were a savior.
Du Wenshan was so shocked by her shameless words that he didn't come to his senses for a long time.
"Zhang Manli, you really dare to mention your sister? Put your hand on your heart and say, your sister's death really has nothing to do with you?"
"You're good to Da Bao, isn't it because you feel guilty? Besides, when our family was looking for someone, your family wasn't the only suitable one."
"As long as you have money, there are plenty of people willing to help. Your family was the first to get involved, and your family members are all shameless."
"Don't you feel ashamed of what you've done over the years? If your family takes a liking to you, you'll be skinned alive, if not killed."
"Why do you still look so proud of yourself? Don't you have any shame?"
Du Wenshan showed her no respect whatsoever. He knew that no matter how much he lowered his attitude, she wouldn't give him a second glance.
Since that's the case, then they should talk things out. He won't stop her from marrying into a better family, and it's better to part amicably.
"Du Wenshan, what do you mean? You don't want to live a good life anymore? Do you believe I can burn your whole family down?"
He ruined Zhang Manli's good mood. Why did she have to bring up her sister? What's so great about that brainless woman?
Why bring up someone who has already been forgotten? She did nothing wrong.
"Come on, burn it. You really think I'm afraid of you? Zhang Manli, I'm only putting up with you because I want to live a good life with you."
"Since you don't want to live a good life, why should I put up with you? You just went to that place, didn't you?"
“I told you to behave yourself, and our family will put up with you. As long as you can raise the child well, even if you don’t want to be with me, I can tolerate it.”
“But now you are clearly not satisfied. Your competitive spirit is no longer content with the ordinary families around you.”
"You'll ruin our Du family sooner or later. Let's get this straight now: either we get a divorce, and you can go wherever you want."
"Either we live a normal life as a married couple tonight, and you give me another child, and you can still be the boss in this family."
Du Wenshan was forcing Zhang Manli, but he was also forcing himself. The Du family was timid, but it was precisely because of their timidity that they knew that the people Zhang Manli had messed with were people they couldn't afford to offend.
If he continues to let things go unchecked, something bad will happen sooner or later.
"You...you wish! If you don't listen to me, I'll go out and tell everyone about your family's affairs."
"At worst, I'll go home. I want to see how your family manages to get by here." Zhang Manli had seen too much of the Du family's pathetic behavior.
Seeing him suddenly become so assertive made her panic. Could it be because she went to that house that night?
She hadn't done anything wrong, but he acted like he was crazy, which puzzled Zhang Manli.
