"Alright. If she doesn't want to come out, then she doesn't have to. What else do you want to say? Just shut up."

Gu Youqing has already spoken, but he won't listen.

"What did I do wrong? Jinhua and I cooked the meal, and she didn't even show her face. Ha, now that we're eating, what's with the airs? Do we all have to invite her out?"

"Mom, I wouldn't come out either. Jingyan, take it inside for Yue'e."

Gu Jinhua picked up a bowl and a plate, and scooped out some of all the dishes. She then asked Gu Jingyan to take them in.

The younger siblings next to them shrank back and dared not speak.

Gu Jingyan was already regretting bringing Lin Yue'e back.

He never expected his mother to be so hostile towards his wife. He was about to take the food his sister had prepared into the house.

But at that moment, Wang Lan slammed her chopsticks on the table.

This morning, several colleagues said that she, as a mother-in-law, was extremely pathetic. Her new daughter-in-law didn't even cook for her; she had to wait on her hand and foot. She had no manners whatsoever.

If her daughter hadn't come over today, she wouldn't have bothered cooking for her daughter-in-law. Now, she's already prepared the meal, and this daughter-in-law is taking advantage of her kindness and won't even come out.

"If she looks down on our family so much, let her leave. Stop eating. Gu Jingyan, what a fine wife you married! She still needs me, her mother-in-law, to serve her after she entered the family. Now we've prepared the meal, and she won't even come out for a meal. What, do we look like demons and scare her?"

Gu Jingyan had already stood up, but suddenly stopped. He sighed and put down the rice bowl he was holding.

"Mom and Dad, I shouldn't have brought her back. I was presumptuous this time. I'll take her away right away."

Gu Jingyan couldn't bear to see Lin Yue'e treated like this by his mother anymore; it seemed like nothing was right. Even though she stayed inside and wouldn't come out, she was still being disliked.

After saying that, he didn't even want to look at his mother again. He went into the house and stuffed the children's clothes that Lin Yue'e hadn't put away into his bag.

"Let's go, thankfully it's only noon. Let's find a place to stay."

Gu Jingyan's words successfully drew blaming glances from everyone at the table towards Wang Lan.

Wang Lan never expected that her son would help an outsider.

She didn't care at all what her family thought of her, and immediately got up and followed Gu Jingyan.

The door was open. Lin Yue'e was holding the child. She watched as Gu Jingyan finished packing his things.

Then he grabbed my hand and tried to walk back, but his mother blocked me at the door.

"Alright, alright, no wonder people call you an ingrate. I think you've been bewitched by this vixen. Now you've abandoned your family for her, haven't you?"

Wang Lan was furious. What had she said wrong? What kind of daughter-in-law was like this rural woman, who did nothing at home, just waited to be fed, and still had a long face?

"Mom, isn't this what you wanted? She didn't do anything, she didn't say anything, but you just wouldn't stop. She's my daughter-in-law. Even if you're just being considerate of me, you can't keep talking about her like this. If you dislike her, I'll take her away so she won't bother you."

Gu Jingyan didn't want to argue with his family, but his face was extremely gloomy. However, since the person involved was his mother, he couldn't vent his anger on her.

Gu Youqing quickly stepped forward, pulled his wife along, and led her into the house.

"We're eating right now, why are you leaving? Everyone, take a step back, we're family, what are you all doing?"

"Let her go if she wants to. You just got back; what kind of talk is it to leave now?"

Wang Lan held Gu Jingyan tightly, but looked at Lin Yue'e with obvious disdain. Even when she looked at the child in Lin Yue'e's arms, she showed no affection whatsoever.

Thanks to Chen Weiguo and Su Manli, Su Manli told the neighbors a lot of things she had heard from Chen Weiguo about Gu Jingyan and Lin Yue'e in the countryside, some of which were half true and some were false.

Su Manli was arrested. Gu Jingyan brought back his wife with a child. Everyone knew that Gu Jingyan had been away from home for half a year and Lin Yue'e was heavily pregnant when he returned.

Of course, they wouldn't analyze when the child was conceived; they only heard that Gu Jingyan hadn't been back for half a year and was pregnant.

Yesterday, Wang Lan only looked down on Lin Yue'e for being a rural woman. After working half a day, she heard all sorts of rumors and felt that what everyone was saying was true, and that the child Lin Yue'e gave birth to might not even be the father.

What if this happens to my own son?

"Mom, if you keep making a scene, I'm never coming back."

Gu Jingyan stood protectively in front of Lin Yue'e, looking at his mother with disappointment.

"Why can't you understand my heart? Who knows whose child this woman is holding? You...you're so outstanding, you're a college student, you have a bright future ahead of you, do you really have to find a woman like this?"

Hearing Wang Lan say such things about her, Lin Yue'e was furious.

So it turns out she felt that the child she gave birth to wasn't Gu Jingyan's, and that she had cheated on her son.

"Where did you hear this rumor? When are you going to stop this nonsense?"

Gu Youqing grabbed Wang Lan and tried to drag her into the house.

"Let me go. I'm going to make this clear today. Jingyan has been gone for more than half a year. How did she get pregnant? Look at the people she's been with. I don't believe no one has been after her. This child is probably from some shady guy in the village."

"Wah..." Lin Yue'e hugged the child tighter and tighter. Perhaps it was because Wang Lan's voice was too shrill, but Gu An'an cried loudly because of the noise.

Having been verbally abused like this, Lin Yue'e felt there was no need for her to stay any longer.

She took out all the gifts that her father, sister-in-law, and the older woman had given her yesterday, along with the five hundred yuan she had stored in her spatial storage.

She flung it out, and after the scattered banknotes flew away, Wang Lan stopped crying out.

Everyone else looked at Lin Yue'e. She had been quiet all along. Why was she suddenly acting like this?

"Yes, you're right. I don't know who my child was born to. I'm a country girl, I'm not worthy to marry your son, but it was your son who fell for me. I was wrong, I shouldn't have spent your son's money, but I married him, if I don't spend his money, why should I spend someone else's? It's ridiculous, I'm really laughable. I came back with him hoping to meet my in-laws whom I'd never met before, I wanted to get along well with you, but I didn't expect that I was thinking too much."

Lin Yue'e picked up her son and walked out.

Gu Jingyan immediately followed her.

"Yue'e, let's go together."

Lin Yue'e turned to look at him.

"You'd better ask your mother first, or I, this sleazy vixen, will seduce you again. I've returned all that money to your family. From now on, the child is mine, and I owe you nothing."

As Lin Yue'e spoke, she picked up the child and was about to leave when tears streamed down her face as she turned around.

She felt ridiculous. She didn't even know why she was shedding tears.
