The family's attention immediately shifted from the Xu family's mess to the food in the pot.

꽭꺶地꺶 is the best place to eat.

Even Xu Meiling went to grab food with her bulging belly. She didn't care whether Xu Huaiyu lived or died. She thought that eating her fill was the most important thing.

Chen Jianghe quickly followed to protect her. Doesn't this old woman know that she is pregnant? Now he is getting more and more into the role of a father.

Although he had once wanted to abort the child, he was looking forward to it more and more during this period of time. Maybe this was the feeling of being a parent for the first time.

Liu Guifang also let Yan Lijun go for the time being and hurried to find Xu Mingshan to discuss how to get the betrothal gift back.

Yan Lijun looked at Chen Fengqin with gratitude, and Chen Fengqin shook her head and left, deciding not to eat the meal.

Yan Lijun felt very sad. When she came here before, Liu Guifang was so good to her, and she thought she could understand her suffering. She didn't expect that once the truth was revealed, she would immediately turn against her and beat her.

Thinking of this, she showed a bitter smile on her face. Let them do whatever they want, whether they go to Yan's house to make trouble or break the door, she can't do anything about it.

If the Xu family went to fight, she would even feel a little bit of pleasure in revenge, and let that good-for-nothing brother have a taste of what she is feeling now.

The wedding scene should be bustling with activity, but now it is in chaos. Everyone is rushing to get food, fearing that they will be late and there will be no food.

Yan Lijun took her luggage and hid in Xu Huaiyu's room. In the Xu family, only here could she feel a little safe.

The room was filled with red paper-cuts, which looked very festive and made her eyes tear up.

Thinking of how good Xu Huaiyu had been to her in the past, she felt guilty and scared.

Xu Huaiyu woke up slowly and saw Yan Lijun sitting beside him. Thinking of what happened before he fainted, he became furious and even forgot about his physical pain.

"Yan Lijun, since I trust you so much, did you know that your parents would do this? Did you team up with them to deceive me?" He sat up and questioned.

Yan Lijun panicked and pulled his hand: "Huaiyu, listen to me, I didn't do it on purpose, don't be angry, my brother got a woman pregnant, and they said he must get his money and marry her, otherwise he will be sent to labor reform.

My family is really at a loss, so we have to resort to this last resort. Can you please, for my sake, let it go and let us work together in the future to buy these things back? Okay?"

Yan Lijun told the truth in front of Xu Huaiyu, hoping that he could understand that it was not easy for her and she begged humbly.

How could she know that the Xu Huaiyu who used to be so attentive to her was just pretending. The real Xu Huaiyu was just a second-rate person who didn't care about other people's lives.

"Snap"

A loud slap landed on Yan Lijun's face, so deafening that it stunned her.

He knew that when Xu Huaiyu got angry, he would even beat his own sister and sister-in-law, not to mention his legitimate daughter-in-law.

"Yan Lijun, listen carefully, you, the Yan family, must return this betrothal gift to me intact, or I will make your life miserable.

Your brother got a woman pregnant, why did your husband pay for it?

You embezzled the betrothal gift and ruined your husband's wedding. Is this what you, the Yan family, did?

"I even went hunting in the mountains to give you a splendid wedding. I injured my foot and was in so much pain that I almost died. Are you worthy of me?" Xu Huaiyu shouted without thinking.

He was really a little hurt. Although he was more after Yan Lijun's identity as a city girl, they were classmates and had been together for so long that they had feelings for each other. Being stabbed in the back by someone he trusted, even if he was such a scoundrel, would be uncomfortable.

He had been looking forward to a grand wedding after his stroke, but it turned out to be a complete joke. He could imagine that in the next few years, whenever anyone in this village mentioned getting married, they would bring him up to gossip.

I can’t bear the thought of it.

Yan Lijun looked at Xu Huaiyu in disbelief.

She imagined that Xu Huaiyu would be very angry and would force her to return the things, but the only thing she didn't expect was that he would actually hit her, in the face.

In the past, he always smiled at her, drew a lot of cakes for her, and said how good he would be to her after they got married and how he would not let her do anything. She didn't know how many times she had heard such words.

After telling so many lies, Yan Lijun subconsciously took them as the truth.

The two of them never quarreled even once. Every time Yan Lijun got angry, Xu Huaiyu would compromise and coax her.

In her eyes, although Xu Huaiyu has no future, he is a good man, gentle and reliable, does not hit people, and is willing to spend money on her. He is a man she can rely on.

Unexpectedly, his true colors were revealed at the wedding. Although she was the one who made the mistake first, this slap in the face also made her sober up completely.

A man with a big mouth is a liar.

She couldn't even rely on her own parents, let alone a man. Haha, she finally gave up her fantasy.

She knew that she had no way out now. She had already obtained the marriage certificate with Xu Huaiyu and accepted the betrothal gift. She could only grit her teeth and live on, otherwise she would be doomed.

She remembered what she had learned in class: "When a man is infatuated, he still talks about it, but when a woman is infatuated, she does not talk about it."

Once a woman makes a choice in her life, it is difficult to turn back.

Her parents-in-law must hate her to death now. If Xu Huaiyu doesn't help her, she won't be able to stay in this family.

Even though she hated it, she could only chew up and swallow this shit-like life.

"Huaiyu, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. This is my own wedding, and I didn't want it to turn out like this. I can't do anything about it. If I didn't agree, they wouldn't let me marry here. I also wanted to marry you smoothly.

If you are really angry...then send me back! Let’s just leave it at that..."

Yan Lijun rushed to Xu Huaiyu, curled up in his arms, and cried bitterly.

This move of hers was very risky. Weakness was a woman's best weapon. For someone like Xu Huaiyu, being tough would only backfire. Perhaps retreating in order to advance would have a good effect.

Xu Huaiyu was a normal man. Seeing the woman so heartbroken and seeking protection aroused his desire to protect her. There was also a trace of pity in his heart. He hugged her back and sighed.

The evidence was torn up, so it couldn't be considered a deal breaker. To put it bluntly, he had weighed the pros and cons with Yan Lijun, and Yan Lijun was the best person he could find.

"Get up! What's going on outside? Help me go out and take a look."

Xu Huaiyu calmed down and prepared to discuss with his parents how to solve this problem.

I've been tricked by the Yan family, and I can't just let it go.

Yan Lijun had no choice but to help him walk towards the main room.

There was no one in the Xu family courtyard now. Everyone had left. The place was in a mess and no one cared.

After the family divided up all the food in the pot, they all went back to their own homes to eat, and even forgot to leave a single mouthful of food in the pot for the wedding party.

In the yard, tables and benches borrowed from various households were lying in a disorderly manner, and the ground was littered with pine nuts, melons, and peanut shells.

Yan Lijun looked at her belly with grievance. She hadn't eaten a single bite of food since she woke up this morning. No one cared about her at her parents' home, nor at her husband's home.

Xu Huaiyu was only concerned with being angry and didn't pay attention to these details at all.
