Chapter 94: Rushing Back to the Countryside

Regiment Commander Yang was so pestered that he had no choice. Coupled with his concern for the “son” in her belly, he had no option but to steel himself and temporarily use his authority to handle the matter ambiguously, tacitly allowing Shen Wei to move back first.

With the green light given, Shen Wei couldn’t wait to take action.

She flaunted her return, bringing Lin Jiaojiao and Lin Ruihu with her as she strutted back to that familiar courtyard with an air of arrogance.

Neighbors around cast disdainful glances upon seeing her return.

The matter of Lin Zhiguo Inheriting Two Branches had already spread far and wide.

Moreover, many had personally witnessed the two carrying on shamelessly in the hospital ward, disregarding all decency.

Most people couldn’t stand Shen Wei’s brazen behavior and pointed fingers at her.

Some even deliberately mocked loudly, “Oh, isn’t this the one who got involved with her brother-in-law? How dare she come back?”

“Exactly! Sister-in-law and brother-in-law, always seen together. They denied it before, but now they even have a child together. How shameless!”

“Ugh! Vixen! It’s people like her who ruin the atmosphere in our family compound!”

Someone threw a piece of vegetable leaf at Shen Wei, and soon more things followed, hitting the mother and her two children.

Shen Wei’s face turned ugly with anger as she cursed back viciously, “Lin Zhiguo and I are deeply in love, properly married before heaven and earth! Who are you to gossip here? What nonsense!”

Her retort only provoked them to throw more things.

“Ugh! Shameless! What ‘married before heaven and earth’? I’ve never seen anyone cheat and still act so righteous!”

Rotten vegetable leaves and eggs, accompanied by a torrent of insults, left them covered in filth and stench.

It was only when Zhu Xiuxiu, Regiment Commander Yang’s wife, passed by and saw her dear friend being bullied that she stepped forward to support her.

“The matter of Inheriting Two Branches was decided by the two elders of the Lin family! What does it have to do with my sister? If you don’t know the facts, stop blabbering nonsense! If you keep bullying her, I’ll report it to the leadership!”

Upon hearing that it might be reported to the leadership, the military dependents, afraid of causing trouble for their husbands, quickly dispersed.

Shen Wei looked at the stout and sturdy Zhu Xiuxiu, her eyes flickering, and thanked her, “Sister-in-law, thank you. Without you, I really wouldn’t know what to do. That Yu Wanqin is just too much!”

Zhu Xiuxiu patted her hand, “Good sister! Old Yang told me everything. Yu Wanqin is too heartless, demanding so much money in the divorce—she’s leaving you with no way out! And you’re still a martyr’s family member!”

Shen Wei sighed gratefully, “Isn’t that the truth! Thank you, Sister Xiuxiu! Now that I’m pregnant, the storage room is too moldy and unsuitable to live in. I was just planning to move back…”

Before she could finish, Zhu Xiuxiu waved her hand grandly, “Let’s go! I’ll help you move!”

To say that Zhu Xiuxiu was usually sharp-tongued and venomous, she had offended many people in the compound.

But she was exceptionally good to Shen Wei.

Completely taken in by Shen Wei’s flattery, she believed Shen Wei was her only confidante and treated her like a real sister.

The original door was tightly shut, locked from the outside.

Shen Wei took out the tools she had prepared earlier and, using the excuse that she was physically inconvenient, asked Zhu Xiuxiu to help her pry open the lock.

Then, she directed her two children to haphazardly throw Yu Wanqin and Tongtong’s clothes, belongings, and even some old furniture into the yard, scattering them everywhere!

“This house is ours from now on! We won’t keep any of those unlucky things! Throw them all out!”

Shen Wei stood with hands on her hips, her belly not yet showing, her face beaming with triumphant satisfaction.

When Yu Wanqin returned from work with Tongtong, she saw a crowd of neighbors gathered at their courtyard gate, the yard in complete disarray, their belongings scattered everywhere.

Shen Wei stood at the entrance, watching them smugly like the lady of the house.

“Sister-in-law… oh, wait! Yu Wanqin, since you’ve already divorced Zhi Guo, you certainly can’t stay in this house anymore. I’ve moved your things out—you don’t mind, do you?”

Lin Jiaojiao and Lin Ruihu stood nearby, mimicking their mother by making faces. Lin Ruihu pulled out Tongtong’s homework notebook from the house, stomped on it, and stuck his tongue out at her.

His mother had said that from now on, they were the rightful children of the Battalion Commander and could do whatever they wanted.

“This is our house! Get back to the countryside! Nyeh nyeh nyeh~”

Tongtong’s little face flushed red with anger, her big eyes blazing with fury.

Just as she was about to charge forward, she felt her small hand gently squeezed.

She looked up and met Si Muchen’s calm gaze. The two exchanged a look, communicating silently.

[Patron! Such a simple matter—leave it to me! I’ll make sure they suffer!]

Si Muchen nodded in agreement.

Tongtong pursed her lips, gritting her teeth to suppress the urge to hit someone.

She keenly sensed an extremely faint ripple of energy silently winding its way around the arrogantly triumphant Lin Jiaojiao and Lin Ruihu.

Meanwhile, Yu Wanqin’s eyes gradually turned icy. She sneered, “The house may be yours, but these things certainly aren’t. Maliciously damaging others’ property—I wonder how many years that’s worth in prison?”

Shen Wei’s eyes flickered with guilt, but she quickly pouted, “Who are you trying to scare? Your worthless junk was taking up my space! I have every right to deal with it! It’s only natural! I suggest you pack up and get out of here!”

With that, she even picked up a broom, looking ready to chase them away.

Now that they had torn off all pretenses, there was no need for her to keep up the act.

Lin Jiaojiao and Lin Ruihu, having learned well from their mother, rushed over, emboldened by her presence, and tried to shove Tongtong. “Hear that? Worthless brat! Get out of our house!”

However, they didn’t even manage to touch the hem of Tongtong’s clothes.

Lin Jiaojiao suddenly slipped for some reason, screaming as she fell forward, landing face-first heavily on the ground.

She happened to hit a protruding stone, immediately filling her mouth with blood. A front tooth, mixed with bloody foam, fell out!

“Ah! My tooth! My face!”

Lin Jiaojiao touched the blood and the gap in her teeth, then saw the tooth on the ground, and burst into terrified wails.

Shen Wei was also startled, quickly dropping the broom and rushing over. “Jiaojiao!”

If a girl’s face got scarred, it would be disastrous. She hurriedly checked the wound.

A large, bloody gash had opened on her forehead, a horrifying sight!

This would surely leave a scar! Her face was definitely ruined!

Furious and frantic, she glared viciously at Tongtong. “It’s all because of you, you little jinx! What did you do to my daughter?”

Tongtong blinked her big eyes, spread her small hands, and put on an innocent face. “I didn’t do anything…”

Shen Wei glared. “If it wasn’t you, then who? It must be you, you jinx, who cursed my daughter! Damn you!”

She wished she could strangle this little wretch!

Tongtong narrowed her eyes slightly and snorted. “Eldest Aunt, you’re promoting feudal superstitions. That could get you taken to a little black room for ideological education, you know~”

Yu Wanqin also shielded her daughter behind her, glaring coldly at Shen Wei. “If you keep staring at my daughter like that, I’ll gouge your eyes out!”

Shen Wei opened her mouth to retort, but before she could speak, she heard Lin Ruihu wailing beside her.

He had originally intended to lunge forward and push Tongtong from behind, but unexpectedly tripped over his own feet and tumbled down the steps of the threshold, bursting into loud sobs.

“Ah! Waaah!”

“Huzi! What happened now?” Shen Wei was utterly flustered, torn between comforting her daughter and checking on her son’s injury.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiuxiu quickly said, “Better take the child to get bandaged first!”

Shen Wei knew the situation was urgent and didn’t dare delay, rushing to search for the first aid kit in her luggage.

But the more frantic she became, the harder it was to find.

Her belongings were tossed into disarray as she rummaged through them.

Seizing this opportunity, Tongtong immediately tugged at her mother’s hand, her voice clear and crisp, carrying an undeniable seriousness.

“Mom! The divorce agreement states that shared property must be divided! The furniture in this house also belongs to Mom!”

“Since she thinks our things are taking up space, why don’t we deal with the other half too?”
