He Sumei got angry when she saw An Yan like this. Damn, who is she showing this to?
The angry He Sumei wanted to rush up and hit An Yan's disgusting face, but was stopped by several aunts standing next to An Yan.
"He Sumei, you're almost done, aren't you? You've been a daughter-in-law for many years and finally become a mother-in-law. Do you really have to torture your daughter-in-law like this?"
He Sumei's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at the person who was speaking. The two slap marks on her face made her look particularly ferocious. "You're talking nonsense! When I was a daughter-in-law, I never dared to talk back to my mother-in-law. This bitch actually dared to hit me. How can I not teach her a lesson?"
Wang Cuihua frowned upon hearing this and looked at He Sumei with displeasure: "He Sumei, what are you talking about? She's still your daughter-in-law after all. How can you scold your daughter-in-law like that?"
When An Yan heard this, she immediately covered her face and cried, sobbing and sounding extremely pitiful.
When He Sumei saw An Yan's hypocritical look, her body was shaking with anger. This...this...bitch, why didn't I notice her like this before.
An Yan still felt that He Sumei was not angry enough, and said weakly: "Mom, I can't admit that I hit you. Isn't this just ruining my reputation? How dare I hit you!"
The people around also echoed: "Yes! He Sumei, how could your daughter-in-law hit you! You hit her more than usual."
"Don't confuse right and wrong all the time. You've ruined a good daughter-in-law."
Seeing that no one around believed her, He Sumei's lips trembled with anger, and she pointed with a trembling finger: "You...you...why don't you believe me! She hit me."
An Yan opened her watery eyes, her face timid: "Mom, you usually hit me and I didn't say anything, how can you slander me now? If this accusation of being unfilial gets out, how can I live my life in the future!"
As she spoke, An Yan pretended to accidentally shake off her sleeves. Even in the middle of summer, she wore long sleeves, not only because she was cold, but also because her body was covered with wounds from He Sumei. Those wounds healed and then formed scars, leaving an indelible mark on this bullied body.
When the people around saw the dense scars on An Yan's wrists, they all gasped. This old woman was really cruel.
When He Sumei saw An Yan showing her wound to everyone, she thought it was a good idea. If she produced evidence of this bitch attacking her, would these people still believe her?
He Sumei was so angry at the moment that she didn't care about the embarrassing location of her wound. She was only thinking about revealing An Yan's true face.
So she yelled, "Isn't it just a wound? Everyone has it! Let me tell you, this little bitch is really ruthless."
As she spoke, He Sumei was about to take off her clothes. When everyone saw this scene, they all closed their eyes.
"He Sumei, you're crazy! Don't you see where you are?"
"Gu Jiawang, quickly take your wife back and stop embarrassing herself here."
"Gu Jiawang, your wife must have gone insane! Otherwise, how could she do such a thing?"
“Gu Jiawang…Gu Jiawang…Gu Jiawang…Gu Jiawang…”
Gu Jiawang wanted to faint on the spot from hearing these screams. It was so humiliating. He had never felt so embarrassed in his entire life.
But he couldn't faint now. If he fainted, his family would become a laughing stock in the eyes of the villagers. The culprit behind all this was his wife whom he had spoiled for decades. In the final analysis, it was because of his failure to discipline her that she became like this. He would never do that again from now on.
Gu Jiawang walked forward, grabbed He Sumei's arm, his face darkening: "Go home, don't embarrass yourself here."
He Sumei still wanted to continue to stick to her own idea so that everyone could see An Yan's true face, and she tried to struggle away.
Gu Jiawang noticed He Sumei's thoughts and used merciless force on his hands, causing her so much pain that she dared not struggle.
After He Sumei stopped struggling, Gu Jiawang easily pulled her away and left the clinic, where Gu Jiawang wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing the two of them leave, An Yan also forced herself to stand up and prepare to follow them. She walked unsteadily, which made people feel frightened when they saw her.
"Hey! Go slow, girl. You're not well yet! There's no need to rush back."
"That's right! It would be better if you rest in the clinic for a while before going back!"
"Do you want me to take you back? It's too dangerous for you to be alone. Your health is not good to begin with."
An Yan was surrounded by people who kindly advised her to stay and recuperate, but she refused them all. She looked at everyone and gave them a somewhat weak smile: "Thank you all for your concern. I can only stand here today because of you."
As he was about to bow to express his gratitude, he was quickly stopped by the person next to him: "What's wrong with you? We will help anyone in this situation. We are all neighbors, and it is normal to help each other. Don't take it to heart."
"Yes! An Yan, you have such a good temper that you can be suppressed by your mother-in-law."
"You must take care of your body from now on. Don't act like a fool like before. Your health is the most important thing."
"Don't push yourself too hard. Your husband still gives you an allowance of more than 20 yuan a month! You can live well even if you don't work. But don't listen to what your mother-in-law says."
An Yan looked at these people who spoke for her with tears in her eyes. She was really touched at this moment. She thought they rarely spoke to her and had no friendship at all. She didn't expect that they would be so kind to help her when they saw she was in trouble.
There are still many good people in this world, it’s just that she was unlucky and met bad people, An Yan thought silently in her heart.
Rejecting the enthusiastic help from the villagers, An Yan followed her parents-in-law home alone.
The people behind her were looking at An Yan's back, chattering and discussing: "This An Yan really has a very good temper."
"To put it nicely, she has a good temper. To put it bluntly, she is a hopeless case. Her mother-in-law treated her so badly, and she didn't even try to resist. She just endured it all by herself."
"I hope An Yan can think things through this time! She's already halfway to the brink of death. If she still hasn't figured it out and keeps busy like before, she might really end up in hell."
