"Hey, why are you pinching me?"

Lin Yueyue rubbed her arm in pain, increasingly doubting whether she was really her biological daughter. What kind of mother treats her own daughter like this?

"Didn't I tell you to ask him for another 150 yuan? Your brother is getting married, and you said his family sent him another 200 yuan. Where's the money? Didn't you get it back?"

Zhang Guifen clapped her hands, her face showing a look of anger and disappointment at her son's lack of ambition.

"Of course I wanted it! But he wouldn't give it to me. He even said we should return all the money we had before. I got scared, and then he left."

Anyway, the educated youth settlement is at the edge of the village, quite far from their home. Gu Jingyan is leaving tomorrow morning. As long as they don't run into each other, that's fine.

"You're really useless! I raised you all these years, and you can't even get a dowry for your brother. You...you're going to drive me crazy."

Zhang Guifen looked at Lin Yueyue with a look of disappointment and frustration.

"Oh dear, go tell this to someone and see who believes you. I've been married for two years and I've given my family so much stuff."

Even Yan Jingyan's underwear was taken back by your son, not to mention the money. Look around the house now, what's left?

I'd like to ask you, am I even your biological child? You've ruined my perfectly good family, are you happy now?

Zhang Guifen never expected that her daughter, who used to listen to everything she said, would dare to talk back to her.

"You...you...you've gone too far! I'm your mother, and you're still arguing with me about these things? Did Gu Jingyan say something to you, that he told you to go against the family? I knew he wasn't a good person."

Lin Yueyue laughed upon hearing this:

"Heh, he's no good. He took the food, money, ration coupons, and clothes his family gave him and fed your whole family well enough. And in the end, you call him a bad person."

Aunt Liu, who happened to be outside and had overheard the two arguing inside, went to the doorway and heard what Lin Yueyue said. She found it quite strange.

"What happened? Lin Yue'e has finally come to her senses and actually dared to talk back to her mother, realizing that what she did was wrong. But it's too late. I heard that Gu Zhiqing is going to university and won't be coming back. Sigh, what a fine girl, she's been ruined by her family."

Upon hearing Lin Yue'e's words, Zhang Guifen raised her hand to slap her. How dare she hold a grudge against her? What, she wants these things back? Don't even think about it.

However, Zhang Guifen's hand was raised, but it was caught by Lin Yue'e in mid-air.

"You think you can beat me just because you can't argue with me? Don't think that just because you're my mother you can trample on me forever."

I'm telling you today, I've finally figured it out. You just don't want me to have a good life. You just want to keep suppressing me and making me, your married daughter, support you all.

Lin Jinbao is getting married; that's your family matter. Don't try to ask me for money again. He's not my son, so whether he gets married or not has nothing to do with me.

Lin Yueyue shoved Zhang Guifen away, and Zhang Guifen stumbled backward and fell to the ground with a thud.

Then he sat on the ground, slapped his thighs, and started howling.

"Oh God, my daughter has hit me! Lin Yue'e is going to beat me to death! I can't live anymore! How could I have raised such an unfilial daughter? Everyone, come and see!"

Lin Yueyue had never seen anything like this before. In her previous life, who would be so shameless as to act like this? Maybe, but she had never encountered anything like it.

Soon a group of onlookers rushed into the courtyard; they were all the village's gossipy women.

"What's going on here? What are you two, mother and daughter, up to?" Old Mrs. Zhang, standing in the crowd, looked surprised, with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Yes, this is quite something. Zhang Guifen, what are you wailing about? Your Yue'e is known for being very filial. Even when her own family is struggling, she still sends grain and money to your house. What, has this finally broken up their family? Shouldn't you be happy?"

Chen Laowai, who was smoking a cigarette, also looked like he was watching the show.

Listening to the discussions among these people, Lin Yueyue realized that they were all indignant on behalf of Gu Jingyan.

"I heard that Gu, the educated youth, is going to university. Why didn't he take you with him, Yue'e? If he leaves, will he ever come back?"

Li Na, the woman who also had her eye on Gu Jingyan back then, is already holding a child now. Chun Chun is just here to see the original owner make a fool of herself.

"Sigh, what a pity for Gu Zhiqing, how did he end up with a family of bloodsuckers like you?"

"How can you say that? We're from the same village. Why are you siding with outsiders like this..."

Zhang Guifen had initially started a huge fuss, hoping to get everyone to speak up for her so she could control her daughter. Unexpectedly, the group entered and began siding with that heartless Gu Jingyan. She immediately jumped for joy.

"Yes, Uncle and Aunt, I only now realize how wrong I was."

I'm so sorry to Gu Jingyan. I was so immature before, I listened to everything my mother said.

She wanted me to send all the good food and household items from home to my parents' house.

If I don't send it, she'll say I'm unfilial and that I owe them something. I... I'm sorry to Gu Jingyan.

If I could do it all over again, I would definitely live a good life with Gu Jingyan.

But it was too late. Gu Jingyan... he wants a divorce, and he's not coming back. Waaah, I'll be a widow...

Gu Jingyan, who was reading a book, felt a chill on his neck, as if someone was cursing him.

Lin Yueyue took this opportunity to refresh her image in the eyes of the villagers, covering her mouth and looking regretful.

Anyway, Gu Jingyan is leaving and won't be coming back, so let her say whatever she wants now. From now on, this will be her home alone.

Oh, no, there's another one in her belly. From now on, the mother and child will depend on each other in this village. The first thing to do is to cut off all ties with her family, preferably by severing all ties altogether.

Otherwise, this family will never be done.

"Oh, I see. Zhang Guifen, do you act like a mother?"

Is it really necessary for you to torment your daughter like this? Yue'e is already married, yet you keep sucking her dry every day.

"Fine, now look what's happened. They've ruined their daughter and son-in-law's marriage, causing them to divorce. What a mess!"

"Exactly, I would run away too. Who would dare to continue living with your daughter? Your family has taken everything we own. There's no hope for us."

Aunt Wang also spat.

Suddenly, everyone disliked Zhang Guifen. To be fair, every family has daughters who help their parents, but everyone knows when to stop.

There are also many women whose families are good and will subsidize their daughters' families; they all help each other. Everyone has difficult times. But it's really rare to see someone like Zhang Guifen who only sucks blood from her daughter's family.

"So that's how it is, Yue'e. You've really thought it through. From now on, this is your life. You can't do this again if you remarry."

Li Na earnestly advised him, convinced that there was no possibility of a relationship between Lin Yue'e and Gu Zhiqing.

"Yes, yes, Yue'e, you need to use your own brain, otherwise, who would dare to marry you?"

Zhang Tiedan chuckled as he looked at Lin Yue'e. This woman was the most beautiful in the village. Now that Gu Zhiqing was gone, she was on her second marriage. Maybe if he found someone to propose marriage, he could marry her and make her his wife.

If she marries him and dares to take anything from her family again, he will definitely punish her.

He wouldn't be like that educated youth, Gu, who was made stupid by too much reading and let his wife do whatever she wanted.
