Yao Yulan was already in pain all over, and speaking so much in one breath made her ribs ache.
Moreover, Wang Jian's slap was extremely forceful; Yao Yulan felt blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and a faint metallic taste began to spread in her mouth.
"You...you dare to hit me?" Yao Yulan covered her face in disbelief, glaring fiercely at Wang Jian.
Wang Jian's hands were shaking. If it weren't dark, Yao Yulan would have seen that Wang Jian's eyes were red.
He worked in the fields all day, and when he returned home at noon, he noticed that his mother had dark circles under her eyes and asked her about it.
For her son's sake, Aunt Wang didn't say anything, only that she had fallen.
Yao Yulan only realized what he meant when she said that no one falls and gets a hole in their eye!
No matter how much of a scoundrel Wang Jian is, he still grew up relying on his aunt Wang, and he still feels sorry for his mother.
It is only natural for a daughter-in-law to be filial to her mother-in-law, but with Yao Yulan's personality, he had no hope of that.
Before the wedding, he specifically told Aunt Wang that harmony is the most important thing, and that Yao Yulan was spoiled by her family, so he told her mother not to hold it against her.
So all my concessions have only earned me Yao Yulan's disdain and her taking advantage of me?
"Try insulting my mother again, or saying another word about my ancestors!"
Wang Jian's voice was cold and icy, completely devoid of the deliberate flattery he had shown Yao Yulan before.
Yao Yulan naturally understood what he meant and was startled by his appearance.
"What...what kind of attitude is this?" Yao Yulan used to be domineering because everyone in the village gave in to her. Apart from Xu Ruantang and Yao Guoqiang, she had never been yelled at by anyone.
"Wah..." Yao Yulan couldn't hold back and burst into tears. Between sobs, she accused, "I was beaten so badly that I can't even stand up, and you still yelled at me. You didn't help me, and you even hit me? Am I even your wife? Wang Jian, did you marry me and then turn your back on me?"
She cried even harder when she thought about what she had been through these past few days.
Just a month ago, she was the center of attention, living a life that everyone in the village envied, and dreaming of marrying a great hero.
A month later, the man she loved married someone else, she lost her innocence, and the man she married was both useless and poor, and also very fierce.
Why is her life so miserable!
Yao Yulan cried so hard she could barely breathe, and then she simply lay down on the ground. Whenever she was unhappy, she would resort to crying, making a scene, or even threatening suicide.
Wang Jian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. If he woke up the villagers this late at night, it would definitely become the talk of the town tomorrow.
In his haste, he didn't care how heavy Yao Yulan was. He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and with all his might, picked up Yao Yulan and ran back.
The area in front of the Chen family's house finally quieted down.
Xu Ruantang stepped out from behind the big tree, curling her lip in disdain.
As expected, from ancient times to the present, the unreasonable people are the most reasonable. Yao Yulan has really done a great job of shifting the blame!
She was originally a pampered girl, practically the apple of everyone's eye, but she turned out to be a brainless idiot! Why not say that she brought it all on herself? It's just karma, what goes around comes around!
Xu Ruantang beat up the person and watched the spectacle, feeling quite pleased with himself.
That really vented my anger and made me feel so good!
She wouldn't tell anyone about this. In the dark, she even used Wang Jian's sacks, and Yao Yulan couldn't do anything about it.
Xu Ruantang is quite ruthless, and besides, she's very strong now, so her blows can really hurt. Yao Yulan won't be able to get back on her feet for at least ten days or two weeks.
Let her bully Aunt Wang! Beat her to death!
Xu Ruantang certainly didn't climb over the wall to get out. Yao Yulan was so nervous that she didn't see that Xu Ruantang actually closed the gate from the outside; she had locked the gate from the outside with a lock.
Before Yao Yulan could react, they put a sack over her head and beat her severely.
She timed it perfectly and hid behind a tree to watch the excitement.
I thought Wang Jian knew that Aunt Wang had been beaten by Yao Yulan, but it turns out he didn't. That slap felt so good!
Xu Ruantang leaned lazily against a big tree, preparing to turn around and go home.
Before her back had even left the tree, someone suddenly approached her!
"Ah..." It's the middle of the night, and the scariest thing is when someone scares another person. Xu Ruantang screamed.
He only managed to utter one syllable before someone covered his mouth with their hand and shut him up.
Xu Ruantang's first reaction was to throw the person over her shoulder. As soon as she reached out, the other person seemed to have anticipated it and instantly grabbed her hand, pinning her against the tree.
Xu Ruantang was taken aback; this person was quite formidable!
With her current strength, even someone as strong as Chen Ji could be pushed off balance by her if he was caught off guard!
She wasn't about to give up easily. While trying to confuse the other party with words, she looked for an opportunity to fight back. "Who is it? Stop pretending to be a ghost, speak up!"
Xu Ruantang's back was pressed against the tree, her hands still pinned down. The moment she opened her mouth, the person pressing down on her removed their large hand from her mouth as if electrocuted.
"It's me." Chen Ji deliberately lowered his voice, which was slightly hoarse.
He hadn't let go of her hand when she spoke, and the soft touch of her red lips easily reached Chen Ji's palm. Suddenly, his heart felt like it had been scratched by a cat, both itchy and numb. He reflexively let go, his fingers unconsciously rubbing together a couple of times.
Xu Ruantang's eyes widened in surprise.
"Chen Ji?!" Xu Ruantang was full of questions: "How come every time I do something wrong, Chen Ji catches me red-handed?" She asked. "Wait a minute, I locked the gate from the outside. How did you get out?"
In the darkness, Chen Ji looked down at the woman so close to him. She still smelled of her post-bath fragrance, and the wrist he held was so slender that it seemed as if he could break it with the slightest squeeze.
Chen Ji knew she was thin, but he didn't expect her to be this thin. Moreover, her skin felt soft and smooth to the touch, and for some reason, he was reluctant to let go.
