A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

Lin Yinyin thought Lin Huizhi was still hesitating, so she took a deep breath, as if she had made a huge decision.

"Sister, I'm sorry!"

These past few days, there have been a lot of conflicts at home because of me!

I shouldn't have advised you to get a divorce just because I saw my brother-in-law obeying Old Lady Li's every word, because the old lady was mean, and because I saw you being mistreated at home!

I shouldn't have imposed my ideas on you!

I didn't ask you if you wanted to or were willing; I just made a scene at home. I'm sorry!

"Yinyin!" Lin Huizhi grabbed Lin Yinyin's hand, wanting to say something, but Lin Yinyin interrupted her.

"Sister, please let me finish."

"If you truly love Li Jianjun and can't live without him, I sincerely wish you all the best."

She sniffed. "But sister, I really want what's best for you!"

I thought that after all these years you'd seen through their true nature, knew Li Jianjun's cowardice, knew he couldn't protect you, and knew that Old Lady Li wouldn't tolerate you! But I forgot, you're the one living your life; only you know whether it's good or bad!

Lin Yinyin hugged Lin Huizhi tightly, "Sister, I'm so sorry!"

Her tears fell onto Lin Huizhi's shoulder. Her face was sad, but in her heart she was thinking, "Sister, I've said all this, so please don't let me down!"

She released Lin Huizhi, tears welling in her eyes. "Sister, today I couldn't stand Old Lady Li's selfishness, and I couldn't stand her matchmaking with that woman surnamed Zhou. Waaah, I made you get slapped! I'm sorry, sister!"

I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll go find a place to live tomorrow. I can't stay in the compound, so I'll look for somewhere nearby.

Then you can tell them that you were the one who drove me away.

As for Old Lady Li, just say it's because I'm being unreasonable, a troublemaker, and that you just couldn't stand it anymore. That way, Old Lady Li and your brother-in-law might treat you better, and you can continue living your lives together.

"Yinyin, that's not how it is!"

"Waaaaah... No, Yin Yin, it's not like that!"

Lin Huizhi could no longer hold back, reached out and hugged her sister, tears streaming down her face.

How could I possibly miss them?

I can't bear to part with you!

I've long been disheartened by Li Jianjun's behavior, and I've had enough of Old Lady Li's tormenting me all these years!

I'm just... I'm just afraid that if I get divorced, people will gossip about me behind my back and say that we sisters are cursed!

I've been married before, so I'm not afraid of anything. I'm just afraid of dragging you down with me! Waaah! We were looked down upon and gossiped about when we were kids!

Lin Yinyin was stunned; she hadn't expected the real reason to be this.

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears; at that moment, she truly wanted to cry.

"Silly sister, when have I ever been afraid of what others say?"

We live our own lives, who cares what others say!

If you want a divorce, I'll face it with you. I'll hold the sky up even if it falls!

Even if you leave the Li family, my sister and I can still live a good life, even ten or a hundred times better than them!

Sis, I'm pretty amazing. I haven't told you yet how I dealt with Lin Dayong's family, have I?

Listen to my glorious deeds, and you'll know how vengeful I am, how I punish those with ill intentions, and just look at their fate!

Lin Yinyin originally didn't want her sister to know about her nasty side.

But now she needs to tell her sister that she is not someone to be trifled with.

Lin Yinyin gestured animatedly as she spoke, and the two sisters chatted as they sat and lay down.

Lin Yinyin recounted the amusing stories of their wits and battles, and Lin Huizhi gradually opened up as well.

She talked about the grievances she suffered in the Li family, her hopes when she first married Li Jianjun, and her confusion about the future.

There were cries of grievance, laughter of relief, acceptance of the past, and anticipation for the future.

The two chatted for a long time until the three members of the Li family returned.

Hearing the commotion, Lin Yinyin immediately sat up. Seeing Lin Huizhi standing stiffly beside her, she patted her arm and said, "Sister, I'll go check. No matter what happens, don't come out."

Lin Huizhi nodded.

She tiptoed to the door and peeked through the crack—the three members of the Li family had entered the room and then closed the door behind them.

Instead of taking action, she slipped to a corner of the yard and entered her spatial dimension.

As soon as she entered the space, the rich aroma of chicken soup wafted over. She quickly ladled out a bowl and drank it while it was still hot.

The warm chicken soup slid into her stomach, dispelling her fatigue. She smacked her lips—it wasn't that she was reluctant to give it to her sister, but rather that if she conjured up chicken soup in the middle of the night, her sister would be terrified.

Once she and her sister move out and have their own rooms, it will be easier to come up with a reason.

After finishing the chicken soup, she tied her hair up and slipped out.

By this time, the three members of the Li family had already turned off the lights. She crouched down and went around to the window to start knocking. "Knock, knock, knock."

"Who!" Old Mrs. Li, who was still fast asleep, immediately sat up in surprise.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Li Jianjun was beaten during the day, and his whole body ached, his heart ached, and his head ached.

"I heard someone knocking on the window!" Old Mrs. Li pointed to the window. "Go and see!"

Li Jianjun reluctantly got up and opened the door, but when he saw Lin Huizhi's door across the hall, he glanced at it again.

The lights were off inside, and she remained unmoved by the commotion.

He felt a chill in his heart. During the day, he had been beaten black and blue, and she hadn't said a single word of concern.

Just then, there was another "thump, thump, thump" sound coming from the window. This time it was more urgent, with seven knocks in quick succession.

Li Jianjun was instantly enraged, grabbed a wooden stick standing behind the door, and rushed out.

Lin Yinyin emerged from the spatial dimension and flicked her wrist.

The corn cobs from Lin Dayong's house were thrown out of the space with a "whoosh" and landed next to the woodpile on the other side of the yard with a "thud".

Li Jianjun was indeed attracted and rushed towards the woodpile with a stick in hand.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yinyin quickly slipped into Old Lady Li's room, only to find Old Lady Li staring intently out the window, completely unaware that someone had come in.

She held her breath, walked around to the foot of the bed, and gently blew a cool breath onto the back of Old Lady Li's neck.

"call--"

A cold wind swept across her neck, and Old Lady Li froze. Before she could turn around, she heard a sinister voice behind her, "You killed me... You deliberately angered me!"

"Ahhhhhh!" Old Mrs. Li was so frightened that she screamed and shrank back into the bed.

Upon hearing his mother's screams, Li Jianjun grabbed a stick and ran back home.

Lin Yinyin quickly reached out her arm from the space.

"Ahhh! Mom... Mom!" Li Jianying watched helplessly as a pair of dangling arms went straight for Old Lady Li's neck.

Grandma Li felt a touch on the back of her neck, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

Li Jianying, who was standing nearby, witnessed the scene of "ghost hands strangling people" and her legs went weak, causing her to faint as well.

When Li Jianjun came back, he saw that his mother and sister had both bent over.

He was so angry that he banged on Lin Huizhi's door.

"Lin Huizhi! Open the door for me!"

"Is Lin Yinyin in your room?! She's the one who played tricks on my mom, isn't she?!"

He doesn't believe in ghosts.

Lin Yinyin didn't expect Li Jianjun to be so clear-headed about this matter, but so what?

She pretended to come back from outside the gate.

"Brother-in-law, what's going on? What's all the noise about in the middle of the night?"

Li Jianjun turned around abruptly and saw Lin Yinyin standing at the gate of the courtyard, having just returned from outside.

"Where have you been?!" he demanded sharply.

"Go to the toilet? The public toilet in the compound is far away; it takes half a day to walk back and forth."

I had just reached the door when I heard you shout, "What's wrong?"

Lin Huizhi also opened the door and stood in the doorway, looking at everything in front of her.

Li Jianjun held a stick, his face contorted with malice, the fat on his round face squeezed together, his eyes glaring menacingly.

She suddenly realized that the man in front of her was a bit ugly; how come she hadn't noticed before?

If Lin Yinyin heard this, she would definitely say, "This is not just a little ugly."

Compared to her Li Jinye, he's absolutely hideous!
