After a while, Lan Yujuan quietly returned to her bedroom.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw my husband grinning as he lay on the bed replying to text messages.

Upon seeing her return to her room, the other person hurriedly turned off their phone and stuffed it under their pillow.

"Turn off the lights and go to sleep!"

Lan Yujuan saw it all, and she understood it perfectly.

She was incredibly stupid to only notice such terrible acting after watching it for three years.

She turned off the light, got into bed, faced inwards, and gradually fell asleep by the edge of the bed.

The first day of the lunar new year, early morning.

Lan Yujuan was awakened by the sound of her mother-in-law, Tian Xiuhua, nagging outside the window.

"Whose daughter-in-law is so lazy?"

"Lazy until seven in the morning and still not up to cook? He's lazy to the bone!"

"She doesn't take care of the kids, she doesn't cook! I didn't marry a daughter-in-law, I raised a tyrant!"

Father-in-law Liu Defu, with his husky voice, muttered, "It's New Year's Day, so say less. Our son is still sleeping!"

"He's been working hard all year, and he finally gets to come home and get a good night's sleep. He has to catch his train tonight, so let him sleep a little longer with his wife!"

Inside the house, Liu Zhiyuan didn't open his eyes, but his brows were furrowed; he had already been woken up by his mother.

Hearing his parents' conversation, he felt both heartbroken and guilty, and immediately kicked Lan Yujuan in the bed.

"Get up quickly and go help Mom make breakfast!"

"My parents have been working hard at home all year; they deserve a rest during the Lunar New Year!"

"I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when the food is ready."

Lan Yujuan was lying in bed, engrossed in reading a novel, when Liu Zhiyuan kicked her several times, causing her to sit up abruptly.

"Slap! Slap!" She turned over and slapped Liu Zhiyuan twice, stunning him completely.

"I've been making breakfast for a year, don't I get tired? Can't I even take a day off?"

She knelt up, supporting herself on the bed, and "Slap! Slap!" Two more slaps followed.

"I've been taking care of the child for a year, and I'm not tired? Your mother only took care of the child for half a day, and she's already exhausted?"

"Since you're so filial, then get up yourself and be filial to me! Why did you kick me?"

Liu Zhiyuan was sleeping on the outside, and Lan Yujuan, holding her breath, kicked him off the bed.

"Ouch!"

Liu Zhiyuan, who had rolled off the bed, instantly sobered up and got up in a fit of rage.

"Lan Yujuan!"

"Did you eat gunpowder this early in the morning?"

"I asked you to get up and make breakfast, and you didn't want to, fine! I didn't do anything to you, so why are you taking it out on me?"

Lan Yujuan sat on the bed and said coldly, "Whether you've provoked me or not, you know it in your heart!"

Seeing her so self-righteous, Liu Zhiyuan's eyes began to flicker, and he couldn't quite process what she was saying.

"What do you mean by that?"

Lan Yujuan got dressed and got out of bed, leaving Liu Zhiyuan standing there. Only when she left the room did she coldly say:

"What have you done that you have the nerve to ask me? Think about it yourself!"

She opened the door and bumped right into her in-laws, who were bent over and eavesdropping at the door.

When the two saw her come out, the father-in-law looked embarrassed, and the mother-in-law hesitated to speak.

"Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to hear if you guys were up yet..."

Lan Yujuan had no interest in arguing with them and was just about to ask if her daughter had woken up yet.

When she looked up, she saw her daughter, Liu Xiaoman, squatting alone on the edge of the yard playing.

Its small body wobbled precariously, with a pond more than two meters deep right next to it.

Lan Yujuan turned pale with fright, quickly went over to pick up her daughter, and whispered again:

"Xiaoman, the pond is dangerous; the big fish will bite."

"Xiaoman, be a good girl, don't stand on the edge, let's go play in the middle of the yard."

Before she could say anything, Tian Xiuhua saw her son come out of the room and started complaining!

"Zhiyuan, look at you! Look at your wife!"

"No cooking, no babysitting! Sleeps until the sun's high in the sky, and the first thing they do when they get up is put eye drops on my face!"

"This pond at our Liu family's house has been dug for over ten years. It's been there since you were kids, and no one has ever drowned here!"

"Your wife is so worried, she's always thinking I'll drown that good-for-nothing!"

After what happened last night, Lan Yujuan has made up her mind to break up with him, go back to her parents' home, and never go back to her husband's family again.

Therefore, she no longer passively accepted her fate as before, and retorted on the spot:

"You dug a pond more than two meters deep right in front of your own house, and even an adult who can't swim would have a hard time falling in!"

"I've been advising you every year, but you never listen! You still have the nerve to refuse to cordon off the area?"

"When you dug this pond, Liu Zhiyuan and his two siblings were already ten years old! Xiaoman was only three. How can you compare them?"

On this matter, Liu Zhiyuan wasn't entirely confused, and immediately offered his advice:

"Mom! Yujuan is right about this!"

"There are quite a few children in this area. This pond needs to be fenced off, otherwise it will become a hidden danger sooner or later!"

Tian Xiuhua was utterly humiliated and furious. "Pah! She's a jinx!"

"Boss, you're just taking your wife's side! You guys are going to drive me crazy!"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Zhiyuan didn't want to upset his mother too much, so he quickly tried to appease her:

"Okay, okay, Mom, don't be angry, it's all my fault!"

"I'll help you cook and tend the fire, okay? Perfect timing, I have some good news to tell you..."

Lan Yujuan was holding her child, sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

Seeing her husband and mother-in-law whispering and laughing as they walked toward the kitchen, she had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, as soon as breakfast was served, Tian Xiuhua couldn't contain her excitement and started causing trouble.

"Lan Yujuan, stop pretending!"

"Transfer the 800,000 yuan for the house to me now!"

Lan Yujuan was feeding her daughter breakfast when she heard this, and she didn't even lift her eyelids.

She guessed that the mother and son must have been discussing this behind her back!

"Okay!" Lan Yujuan agreed readily. "My phone is in my room. I'll transfer it after breakfast."

The three members of the Liu family were clearly surprised that she agreed so readily.

Upon hearing this, both father and son glanced at her a couple more times.

Tian Xiuhua's prepared remarks were suddenly stuck in her throat, leaving her unable to speak or speak properly, making her face turn red and uncomfortable.

"Okay, okay!"

After the three of them finished breakfast, they put down their bowls and chopsticks and waited for her.

Lan Yujuan fed her daughter first, and then slowly and deliberately ate her own food.

During this time, Tian Xiuhua frequently glared at her eldest son.

They were clearly blaming him for transferring such a large sum of money to his wife without consulting his parents beforehand!

Seeing her eldest son pretending to be stupid and remaining silent, Tian Xiuhua became even angrier. The longer she waited, the more frustrated she became, and she couldn't help but turn her anger towards Lan Yujuan, speaking sarcastically.

"Ha, just for one night, and they dare to extort 800,000 yuan from my son! Even the ladies at Heaven on Earth aren't that expensive!"

"Clang!"

Having finished eating, Lan Yujuan slammed her bowl and chopsticks on the table and said irritably:

"So, according to you, this 800,000 is what I deserve for sleeping with you?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiuhua immediately panicked!

In addition, the father and son next to him kept giving him meaningful glances, so he quickly smiled apologetically.

"Yujuan, Mom isn't very educated, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart!"

"Are you full? You don't need to wash the dishes today. Go back to your room and get your phone!"

Before Lan Yujuan could make a move, Liu Zhiyuan got up first.

"It's alright, honey, you sit down and digest your food first. I'll go get it!"

In less than a minute, Liu Zhiyuan took out his phone.

At the same time, Tian Xiuhua had also prepared her bank card. All three of them were staring intently at her.

Liu Zhiyuan chuckled awkwardly, "Wife, spin it!"

Lan Yujuan picked up her phone expressionlessly and, in front of the whole family, opened the transfer interface and began the process:

Transfer Amount: 800000

After being redirected, enter the password: 【********】

The whole family stared intently at the phone screen, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law, in particular, were so nervous that their hands began to tremble.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lan Yujuan's lowered eyes. "Look, this is the 'family' you married into so far away!"

A few seconds later, the interface redirected again:

Transfer failed

Lan Yujuan's bank card account has reached its spending limit!
