An Yan didn't mention Lin Xuanjiao. She didn't want to involve the girl who helped her in such a messy matter. If she mentioned Lin Xuanjiao, it would be like repaying kindness with enmity.
He Sumei's legs were held, and she had no intention of listening to what her daughter-in-law said. She just thought that An Yan would not dare to hit her mother-in-law in front of so many people!
He Sumei thought about the anger she had endured from An Yan today, and she couldn't help but vent it. She used both her hands and feet to hit An Yan: "You bitch, weren't you very majestic in front of me today? Why are you so cowardly now? Are you afraid in front of everyone? Keep going!"
Before He Sumei kicked her, An Yan pretended to be kicked very hard and jumped to the other side to avoid He Sumei's attack.
But in the eyes of everyone, it was obvious that He Sumei was not a human being and beat and scolded her daughter-in-law in public. She could be so arrogant in front of them. It was hard to imagine how this person bullied her daughter-in-law behind her back.
He Sumei saw An Yan dodging quickly, and she was furious and quickly chased after her, wanting to hit her. Every time An Yan fell to the side as if she had been badly beaten before He Sumei could touch her, she would scream, "Mom! I was wrong. I'm going to work now. Please stop hitting me."
He Sumei was furious when she heard An Yan's words that distorted right and wrong: "You little bitch, you still dare to distort right and wrong. I will teach you a lesson today."
When everyone heard An Yan's screams, they all felt sorry for her for having such a mother-in-law. As He Sumei beat her more and more fiercely, An Yan's screams became louder and louder.
Wang Cuihua and several other women quickly stepped forward to stop her: "He Sumei, that's enough! This is a new era. You can't hit or scold your daughter-in-law at will. You need to be educated on your behavior."
He Sumei was already angry because she hadn't hit An Yan at all. Hearing the accusations from several people, she was even more furious: "You people don't know a thing. What does it have to do with them that I'm disciplining my own daughter-in-law? You're even trying to educate me. You people really have nothing better to do."
An Yan sobbed on the side, her face covered with tears. She looked at the aunties who came to mediate and was even more grateful: "Thank you for your help, but my mother doesn't need to do ideological education work. I just took a few beatings, it's fine."
An Yan's well-behaved and sensible appearance formed a sharp contrast with He Sumei's fierce and arrogant attitude. Everyone felt that He Sumei had gone too far this time. Instead of being secretly happy to have such a sensible and obedient daughter-in-law, she beat and scolded her at will. They all felt distressed watching this.
When Wang Cuihua heard An Yan's words, her face was filled with disappointment. She said with a look of accusation, "Hey! You are just too good-tempered, girl. Even in this situation, you still support this old man."
An Yan covered her face with her hands and started crying. In the eyes of everyone, she looked like a poor little girl who had suffered a lot of grievances. But the reality was that An Yan couldn't help laughing when she saw her mother-in-law's deflated expression, so she covered her face with her hands so that no one could see her expression.
"But she is my mother-in-law after all! Before my husband passed away, he asked me to take good care of his parents."
Zhang Cuiping looked at An Yan like this, and felt sorry for her. What a good girl! How could she be tortured like this by that old woman He Sumei?
When He Sumei heard An Yan's words, the anger in her heart burned again, "How dare you mention Dongzi? When Dongzi comes back, I will let her divorce you, the unfilial daughter-in-law. Then you can go back to where you came from."
When everyone heard what He Sumei said, they couldn't stand it and started talking: "I say, you old man, you're going too far. Why are you dragging your son into the conflict between you and your daughter-in-law?"
"What era is this? Divorce is still a popular topic. If anyone hears you say that, they'll report you."
"He Sumei, please stop talking! If you keep talking like that, it'll be your son who'll be implicated. Be nicer to your daughter-in-law! After all, she's been taking care of you tirelessly for so many years. Even if she doesn't have any merits, she's worked hard, hasn't she?"
When He Sumei heard these people implicate her son, she immediately became angry and said, "You are really a dog with no ivory in its mouth. My son is doing well in the army. You are just jealous of my son and that's why you are talking nonsense."
"Hey, you old woman, how come you still don't understand what I'm saying? I'm telling you one thing and you're talking about another."
"Who is jealous of your son? What does your son's success have to do with me? Why would I be jealous of your son? Do I think that being jealous of him means I can have an extra meal? If that's the case, then just think that I'm jealous of your son!"
"Ignore this old woman. She's just suffering from paranoia. I'm starting to dislike her son. It's all her mother's fault."
"I used to think he was a good son, but now it seems he's nothing! He let his wife be wasted like this and didn't even try to stop her."
He Sumei was even more angry when she heard these people talking about her son than when they were talking about herself: "What are you talking about! Do you think my son is someone you can talk about?"
Seeing this noisy scene, An Yan felt that it was time for her to faint. These people would definitely not ignore her and would send her to the clinic. The doctor would be able to tell from her condition that her body was in great condition. In this way, with everyone witnessing her, she wouldn't have to work so hard. From then on, she would live for herself.
After An Yan figured all this out, she pretended to faint while no one was paying attention. To make it look more realistic, she fell heavily to the ground. The pain in her body almost made An Yan unable to hold it in, but thinking of the good days ahead, she gritted her teeth and held it in.
Zhang Cuiping was the first to notice An Yan fainting on the ground, because she was standing next to An Yan and she could notice every move An Yan made.
Seeing An Yan fainted on the ground, Zhang Cuiping screamed: "An Yan fainted, my goodness, what happened?"
After that, she quickly went forward to check on An Yan and patted her face. Seeing no response, Zhang Cuiping quickly called out to the others: "Stop arguing. An Yan fainted. She didn't respond no matter how I called her."
Wang Cuihua and the others quickly gathered around to check on her. One of the women said, "Why don't we try pinching her philtrum?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuiping pinched An Yan's philtrum with her hand. An Yan, who was pretending to be unconscious, said: ...
