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

Lan Yujuan felt suffocated. After finishing her dinner, she took her daughter and left the table to go outside for some fresh air.

Li Jiaojiao also put down her chopsticks and stood up, saying, "I'm full, you guys continue eating!"

After saying that, he went back to his room.

Upon seeing this, Liu Zhiyuan quickly put down his chopsticks and followed him into the room.

Tian Xiuhua quickly patted her youngest daughter's shoulder and gestured towards the door with her chin:

"Zhifang, she took the child and went out. I'm worried, please follow her and check!"

Liu Zhifang was focused on sipping the fish head and mumbled:

"Oh, Mom! You can rest assured!"

"It's dark and cold outside. Where could she go with a three-year-old child in her arms?"

"I'm just strolling around the entrance to digest my food; I'll be back in a bit!"

"I'm not full yet. If you're really worried, why don't you go and keep an eye on things yourself?"

After thinking about it, Tian Xiuhua agreed with her daughter. "Fine, let her be!"

Lan Yujuan held her daughter, lost in thought in the darkness in front of the door.

A camping lamp was lit by the pond not far away.

I heard they were two fishermen from the next village, and they were having a fishing competition and getting quite addicted to it.

The pond was full of big, fat fish, but the two of them, who didn't know what bait they were using, hadn't caught a single one after fishing for most of the day.

During dinner, Tian Xiuhua was still muttering to herself:

"If they hadn't given me an extra two hundred yuan, I would have almost suspected they were poisoning my pond!"

Perhaps because it was too dark, the little one fell asleep in his mother's arms after a short while.

Lan Yujuan waited until her daughter was sound asleep before entering the room and gently placing her back on the bed.

She was sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbing her sore arms and back in turn, when suddenly her phone vibrated and a message came in.

Lan Yujuan opened her phone and saw a long audio recording from her newly added friend, "Almost there."

"Jiaojiao, don't misunderstand, she's really not my wife!"

"Don't lie to me! You two have even had a child together and held a wedding banquet, and you still say she's not your wife?"

"Jiaojiao, it's not what you think! Let me explain!"

"Alright, go ahead! I want to hear what other nonsense you can come up with!"

"Lan Yujuan and I were classmates in college. First of all, I have to admit that we did have a relationship in college, but we broke up after graduation!"

"Who would have thought that she would take advantage of my drunkenness, deliberately get pregnant with my child, and then force me to marry her!"

"I had just graduated and was focused on my career. We had already broken up, so how could I possibly marry her?"

In the recording, Li Jiaojiao's voice noticeably softened.

"Hmph, that's all just your side of the story. How can I believe you?"

"You said you wouldn't marry her, but you still did in the end, and you even had a child, didn't you?"

"As for me, I've been terribly deceived by you over the past three years! Liu Zhiyuan, let me tell you very clearly, I will never be your mistress!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan anxiously coaxed, "You're the only one in my heart, how could I let you be a mistress?"

"Can't you see clearly what my mom and siblings are saying tonight? In their eyes, only you are my fiancée!"

After listening, Li Jiaojiao hesitated and said:

"Then, what about her? You and she, after all, have a child together..."

"No matter what the adults have done, the children are innocent!"

Liu Zhiyuan sighed deeply and said in a deep voice:

"If Lan Yujuan hadn't gotten pregnant and presented me with a diagnosis of depression, threatening me with her life to force me to marry her, how could I have possibly held a wedding banquet for her?"

"You know better than I what kind of life I've been living these past few years!"

"She is ill and cannot be stimulated, cannot go to work, and cannot be separated from her child. So I have no choice but to support her and the child with money. After all, the child is my flesh and blood, and I have an inescapable responsibility."

"But Jiaojiao, I swear to God, I promise you, you're the only one in my heart!"

"If she wants to go back to her parents' home, she can go back anytime. My parents will help take care of the child!"

"If she doesn't want to go back, then let her stay in her hometown. Anyway, from now on, you will be my only legal spouse."

"We can work together to buy a house and get our marriage certificate in Beijing, and then settle down here. No one can bother us then..."

Before the recording was even finished playing, Lan Yujuan couldn't listen anymore.

She ended the recording, picked up her phone, and replied, "What do you mean by sending me this recording?"

As a result, the message failed to send, displaying a red exclamation mark.

After sending her the recording, Li Jiaojiao immediately blocked her.

Lan Yujuan sat blankly in the room, so angry she couldn't help but laugh!

She was even a little confused for a moment: was it that Liu Zhiyuan was too good at coaxing women, or was the phenomenon of love-struck people spreading from person to person?

How could women who have seen the world and read books fall for the same man repeatedly?

Lan Yujuan couldn't figure it out, and she was too lazy to think about it anymore, so she simply got up to wash up.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night; she needs to start preparing.

Only by maintaining the status quo can the Liu family lower their guard...

After washing up, Lan Yujuan came out of the simple bathroom in the backyard, her movements very quiet.

As I passed by my father-in-law and mother-in-law's room, I suddenly heard my mother-in-law's deliberately hushed voice coming from inside:

"Although she is not as good at making money as Li Jiaojiao, she is not missing any limbs, she can work and give birth, and she has a gentle nature."

"Since you have a new woman, why not just give her to your brother!"

"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about?" The voice that suddenly rose in the room clearly came from her husband, Liu Zhiyuan.

"No matter what, Yujuan is still my wife and the mother of my daughter!"

"Besides, Liu Zhigang has his own girlfriend, and she's been pregnant for three or four months, right? Why would he be eyeing my wife? Even if I agreed, he would never agree!"

"Mom, I think you've really gone mad!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her eldest son, Tian Xiuhua also started to get angry: "Hmph, you're still not happy?"

"Do you think I want to clean up your messes every day?"

"Let me ask you this: Lan Yujuan has so much money in her hands, can you coax her into handing it over? You can't!"

"Would you want Lan Yujuan to take your worthless daughter back to her parents' home and remarry another man? You wouldn't, would you?"

"And your brother, with so many good women to choose from, he insisted on finding a temperamental only daughter!"

"Now look what's happened! All they want is a dowry, gold jewelry, a house, a car, and they even want your brother to move in and marry into their family!"

"How could I let your brother marry such a troublemaker? Absolutely not!"

"Anyway, your brother is just a womanizer; he'll only be interested in whoever is pretty!"

"Don't let Lan Yujuan's current appearance fool you. She wears pajamas every day and looks pathetic with her child. If she dressed up properly, your brother would be completely smitten!"

"Don't you know what kind of person your own brother is? If he didn't agree, why would I even mention it to you!"

After hearing these words, Liu Zhiyuan fell completely silent!

After a long silence, Fang managed to squeeze out, "Mom, even if my brother and I agree, Lan Yujuan will never agree."

Outside the window, Lan Yujuan squatted in the corner, hugging herself tightly, biting her pale lips, her face ashen.

Inside the room, Tian Xiuhua said lightly:

"Are you stupid? If you just ask her like that, of course she won't agree!"

"As long as she still lives in the Liu family's house, I have plenty of ways to deal with her! Once I've slept with her, she'll naturally agree."

"In the end, she will always be your woman, brothers."

"Sleeping with someone doesn't matter, does it? Registering a marriage with someone doesn't matter, does it?"
