After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Liu Zhiyuan had just grabbed the hair, but before he could even exert any force, he let out a scream, "Ah!"

He suddenly let go, covered his eyes in pain, and wailed, unable to recover for quite some time.

"It hurts! I can't see!"

"Lan Yujuan! What exactly did you do to me?"

Lan Yujuan hugged her daughter and backed away step by step, staring at her husband who seemed like a completely different person. She was both angry and scared, and her whole body began to tremble.

"Have you forgotten?"

"This is the pepper spray you bought for me back then because you were worried I'd be bullied if I stayed home alone!"

"But in the past three years, no one in the village has bullied me, except for you Liu family members!"

"Hehe, you bought it yourself and used it, so it's not a waste!"

Lan Yujuan retreated step by step until she reached the fruit stand in the convenience store before stopping.

She had just turned her head when she caught a glimpse of the fruit knife on the table next to her.

Without a second thought, Lan Yujuan grabbed a fruit knife and angrily pointed it at her husband:

"If you dare touch me or my daughter again, just wait and see! I'll take you down with me!"

The shop owner was terrified and rushed over to break up the fight: "No, please don't!"

"Yujuan, this is such a small matter, it's really not a big deal!"

"Good boy, listen to your older sister's advice, put down the knife immediately, don't scare the child."

Lan Yujuan held a knife in one hand and her child in the other. Her daughter was so frightened that she shrank into her arms and clung tightly to her neck.

From behind, she looked so petite. Yet, at this moment, she appeared so powerful.

Liu Zhiyuan, sitting opposite him, finally opened his eyes a crack after being rinsed with mineral water.

He looked up at Lan Yujuan, ready to explode in anger, but was immediately frightened by her crazy eyes, which seemed to want to fight him to the death.

He clenched his jaw, his facial muscles trembling, standing alone opposite him, covered in wounds.

The couple faced off in this quiet yet frantic standoff.

"Lan Yujuan, I'll ask you one last time: are you coming back with me or not?" Liu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

Lan Yujuan stared intently at him, shaking her head without hesitation, "No!"

She booked a car online, which could arrive at any time.

Just in case, she specifically booked a flight for 1 a.m.

As long as she leaves Xiahe Village before 10 p.m. tonight and gets on the bus to the airport, she will definitely be able to catch her flight home!

During her senior year of college, plus the four years she spent pregnant and giving birth, she hadn't been back to her home for a full five years.

As long as Lan Yujuan thought about how she could soon take her daughter away from this awful place and return to her own home, she felt an inexhaustible power within her, and she was no longer afraid of anything!

It turns out that Dad was right all along.

Marriage fraud, infidelity, domestic violence. This man is no good! He's not worth her entrusting her life to!

"Fine!" Liu Zhiyuan nodded, pressing his tongue against his back teeth. "Okay, if you don't want to go back, then don't!"

With his eyes red and swollen, Liu Zhiyuan looked at her again, his gaze filled with a fierce edge.

"Go away! Proud female college student, take your daughter with you!"

"The first thing I'll do when I get home is tear up your daughter's birth certificate and burn her vaccination record and household registration page!"

"Even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't be able to get it replaced for you!"

"Let your daughter go back to your parents' home with you, live as an unregistered person, be illiterate, and be a despised illegitimate child forever!"

Lan Yujuan was furious. She put down her child and was about to rush over to fight, yelling, "Liu Zhiyuan! How dare you!"

The onlookers were terrified, but luckily the shop owner reacted quickly and rushed up from behind to catch Lan Yujuan in her arms.

"Don't act impulsively!"

"Yujuan, calm down and think about the child."

Lan Yujuan was held tightly from behind, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't move.

Although she knew perfectly well that all of her daughter's documents were in the bag behind her and not in Liu Zhiyuan's hands.

But when she heard such vicious words coming from her daughter's biological father, she was so angry that she almost lost her mind.

Lan Yujuan, her eyes red and her teeth clenched, said, "Liu Zhiyuan! A beast like you doesn't even deserve to be a father!"

At this moment, Liu Zhiyuan was no longer the gentleman he once was, nor did he possess any warmth. "Hmph, am I not worthy?"

"Even if I'm not good enough, didn't you bring this on yourself?"

"You chose this man yourself! You had this child yourself! Even if you're unhappy with your life now, you deserve it!"

Lan Yujuan was stunned, frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

She had heard these words more than once. She knew in her heart that this was the truth.

But the same words, spoken by her former husband, were like the sharpest knife in the world, stabbing her heart, causing numbness and almost suffocating pain.

"Beep, beep!"

Suddenly, a horn blared from the roadside not far away.

"Hey! Who called this ride-hailing service? Are you coming or not?!"

The next second, Lan Yujuan's phone in her pocket also started vibrating.

She numbly pulled out her phone, looked at the screen, and saw a call from her ride-hailing driver.
