Chapter 121: Knowing Well At Heart
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Pei hesitated for a long time. On the one hand, she was worried that she would be beaten up by her mother-in-law and Daniu if she went back just like that. On the other hand, she felt that although divorce was a solution, the mother and daughter were penniless. How could they support themselves?
Han Pei gritted her teeth and thought for a long time.
Forget it, I'll go all out!
Even if she was beaten to death by her in-laws, it was better than living on the streets with her daughter!
At the thought of this, Han Pei grabbed Zhaodi and said firmly, "Let's go home!"
Zhaodi was shocked by Han Pei's reaction. When she thought of her father, who often hit and scolded her, and Grandma, who had a treacherous smile, she was so frightened that she cried. "Mom, I don't want to go home! I don't like Dad and Grandma! I want to stay with Aunt Song Yao!"
"Why are you so disobedient?"
Han Pei was so angry that she cried. "If I didn't give birth to a girl like you, would my life be like this?"
As Han Pei spoke, she wanted to hit Zhaodi. Fortunately, Song Yao stopped her. "You're already so old. Why aren't you as sensible as a child?"
Han Pei was so anxious that she cried. "She's just a child. What does she know?!
At least she won't starve to death if she comes home with me!"
"That's still better than being beaten to death by your man! Do you think you and your mother will be able to survive if you go back now?" Gu Li shouted at Han Pei angrily.
She did not understand. Han Pei was young and only two or three years older than her Yao. How could she still have the same idea? Even an old lady like her thought better than Han Pei!
Song Yao said to Han Pei with a cold face, "I really don't want to criticize you! Although Zhaodi is young, she knows in her heart that she can tell who treats her well and who doesn't. If you forcefully bring Zhaodi back like this, you'll only harm her!"
"What else can I do?!" Han Pei cried. "We don't know anything. How can we support ourselves? Besides, if I really get a divorce, Aunt will cut ties with me!"
"Then cut ties with her!" Song Yao shouted at the top of her lungs. "You're already an adult. Are you still afraid of them?"
"But what about the money?" Han Pei was still hesitating.
Song Yao gasped in anger. "Han Pei! Do you still want a divorce?"
Han Pei wilted.
Song Yao said, "Nothing else is a problem. The most important thing now is that you can't continue like this! I can help you earn money, and I can help you settle your aunt's matter! Would you rather be beaten to death by your husband than work to support yourself and your daughter?"
"I can't guarantee that you can earn a lot of money by following me, but I can guarantee that at least no one will make things difficult for you and your mother. What good will it do for you if you continue to stay in Daniu's house? What good will it do for your daughter? Do you want your Zhaodi to be influenced by you after she gets married and be abused by her husband for the rest of her life?"
After hearing Song Yao's words, Han Pei completely came back to her senses.
Actually, it didn't matter how she was humiliated, but Zhaodi was her only child. She couldn't watch Zhaodi become a tragedy like her.
She shouted, "No! I don't want Zhaodi to be like me!"
Knowing that Han Pei was not that stupid, Song Yao sighed and continued, "Then divorce her! Only by getting rid of your in-laws can you be independent and protect Zhaodi from being beaten and bullied like before! "
"I understand... but..." Han Pei paused and continued," In the future, when Zhaodi talks about marriage, what if a man despises Zhaodi for not having a father? '
Song Yao was so angry that she held her forehead. She originally thought that Han Pei had already woken up, but she never expected this woman to be so stubborn!
Gu Li couldn't stand it anymore and continued, "If you continue to live with your man, Zhaodi won't even have a mother."
Han Pei was enlightened. "Is divorce really the only way?"
Perhaps it was because she had suffered too much, but the thought of a divorce was as uncomfortable as the sky collapsing.
"Don't tell me you want to bring your daughter back to be bullied?" Sun Hao was also a little angry. This woman was not bad-looking. Why did she say that she was unclear?
"No!" Han Pei shouted.. "I want a divorce!"

Chapter 122: Imposing Stance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Pei's words made everyone present heave a sigh of relief.
In the latter half of the night, Gu Li went to the kitchen to cook. Song Yao sat at the dining table and helped Han Pei analyze how to deal with her top-notch relatives.
Han Pei held Song Yao's hand and said, "Yao, thank you. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know where to go."
Song Yao comforted her. "Sometimes, you really don't have to worry too much. If your aunt doesn't treat you well, you'll be independent. If Niu hits you, you'll divorce him."
"I want a divorce too, but what about the money? My aunt said before that if I dare to get a divorce, she won't return a single cent of the betrothal money!"
This was because the betrothal gift from the Daniu family to Han Pei had a requirement. Han Pei had to give birth to a son for Daniu.
Otherwise, the betrothal money would have to be returned intact. Han Pei began to feel anxious.
Song Yao also knew Han Pei's concerns. She said, "That's their business. You just have to divorce them in peace. If they dare to come looking for you, call the police."
Unexpectedly, at the mention of calling the police, Han Pei panicked even more.
She frowned and said, "But my mother-in-law said that if I really dare to get a divorce, she will sue me for fraud!"
"Is that so?" Song Yao sneered. "Then let her sue me. I want to see how many years a trashy man like your man, Daniu, will be sentenced to."
Han Pei was shocked. "Are you saying that the money is not protected by the law?"
"Of course they're not protected by the law. This is the money they earned from selling their daughter. It didn't fall into your hands. What does it have to do with you?"
Hearing Song Yao's words, Han Pei felt much more at ease.
She grabbed Song Yao's hand and said, "Yao! Thank you so much!"
Song Yao yawned. "It's fine. Go to bed early. I think your in-laws will come over tomorrow. You have to rest well before you can have a good fight with them!"
That night, Han Pei was arranged to sleep on the sofa in the living room on the second floor.
She hugged the frightened Zhaodi and said, "My good daughter, don't be afraid. Mommy is here. Mommy will protect you in the future..."
Zhaodi shrank into Han Pei's arms. "Mom, can we really not go back to Grandma's house in the future? I want to live with Aunt Song Yao. It's fine if we don't live with her. We can go anywhere, but don't go home again...'
After saying that, Zhaodi looked worried. She was clearly still a child and was thinking more than an adult.
"Mommy, as long as you leave Daddy, I promise I won't make you angry again. I'll be a good child. I'll listen to whatever Mommy says. I beg you not to return to Grandma's house..."
Hearing this, Han Pei's heart broke.
She hugged Zhaodi tightly in her arms and cried, "Zhaodi, don't worry. I promise I won't go back to your father's place again. I'll divorce your father tomorrow. I'll love you well in the future... Zhaodi, I've let you down in the past..."
Han Pei was already sobbing uncontrollably. Her tears fell on Zhaodi's face. Although Zhaodi didn't know anything, she knew what her mother meant.
She raised her hand to wipe Han Pei's tears and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'll protect you too!"
Han Pei cried even harder. She hated herself for being incompetent. She hated herself even more for not being able to protect her closest bloodline in the world, causing her to experience a tragic childhood like her.
"Zhaodi, it's all Mom's fault in the past. Mom promises to earn a lot of money in the future and buy a lot of delicious food and beautiful clothes for Zhaodi. Mom promises to treat you well in the future..."
Han Pei wanted to say something else, but she realized that Zhaodi had already fallen asleep in her arms.
She fiddled with Zhaodi's messy bangs, revealing her sallow and thin face.
This child had never eaten meat once in her life. How could she not be thin?
Han Pei felt that she owed Zhaodi too much. She kissed Zhaodi's forehead, hugged her back, and fell asleep.
That night was the best sleep Han Pei had ever had in more than 20 years!
However, early in the morning, she was still woken up by the sound of glass being smashed outside the door.
She suddenly sat up from the sofa and saw that her man, Daniu, had already arrived at Song Yao's house with his men.
The few of them came aggressively with weapons in their hands. Han Pei was so frightened that she could not speak!
"Where's Han Pei? Did she come to your house? Song Yao! Hurry up and hand over Han Pei, or I'll smash the glass in your house!"

Chapter 123: Can 't Bear It Anymore
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After saying that, they picked up the hammer and smashed another glass on the first floor. Accompanied by an ear-piercing sound, Zhaodi, who was still sleeping soundly on the sofa, was shocked awake.
Seeing a group of people gathered downstairs, Zhaodi was even more frightened and cried.
Han Pei hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth. Naturally, she was extremely flustered.
She carried Zhaodi and placed her on the sofa. "I'm going out for a while. Don't move here! Remember, no matter what happens outside, you can't go out! Do you understand?"
Zhaodi nodded pitifully.
Han Pei sighed.
She knew that if she continued to hide like this, it would not end well. Moreover, since her in-laws had already come looking for her, she could not implicate Song Yao anymore!
At most, she would fight Zhang Cui to the death. This way, when they were imprisoned, her Little Zhaodi would not have to be beaten and bullied like before!
Thinking of this, Han Pei rushed out of the house with the mentality of facing death with equanimity. Unexpectedly, as soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Song Yao.
"You're awake?"
"Yes," Song Yao replied. Speaking of which, she was also woken up by the sound of glass shattering.
When she opened his eyes, she saw that two pieces of her glass had shattered!
She spent more than 80 yuan to custom-make these two pieces of glass!
Therefore, she called the police in advance. This way, no matter how many glass windows those troublemakers smashed in her house, they would return the money to her with interest!
Song Yao yawned. "Why are you up so early?"
Han Pei frowned. "I can't cause you any more trouble! Only I can solve this kind of thing!"
Song Yao turned around and glanced at Han Pei. Although Han Pei's intention to get a divorce was a very gratifying thing for her, she could not be rash about such things.
She patted Han Pei's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. Stay in the house. You can come out when I tell you to."
Han Pei followed Song Yao downstairs. The people downstairs had already smashed two pieces of glass. Just as they were about to smash another piece, they were frightened by the sound of the door being pushed open. Song Yao pushed the door open and came out.
"Who smashed my window just now? 100 yuan a piece! Who wants to
100 yuan per piece.. Why was it so expensive? The man who smashed the glass was so frightened that he put down the hammer.
Daniu said, "I say, why are you so useless! This woman said that a hundred yuan is a hundred yuan? Don't worry and smash it boldly! If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!"
That person hesitated and refused to make a move. "Forget it, Brother. It's not worth it to break someone's glass window to chase a woman."
Daniu was even angrier when he heard this. He raised his leg and kicked that person hard. He said arrogantly, "If I tell you to smash it, smash it! Who asked that little b*tch Song Yao to abduct my wife! I'll let her know how powerful I am today!"
After Daniu finished speaking, before that person could make a move, he picked up the hammer and wanted to hit Song Yao.
At this critical moment, the door suddenly opened and Han Pei came out with red eyes. "Daniu! What are you doing here?!"
Unexpectedly, Han Pei had not gone far. Da Niu was a little excited and wanted to pull Han Pei over. "You damn woman, you brought a useless thing here and caused me to look for you for the entire night!"
He thought that Han Pei would obediently bring the child back with him as usual, but Han Pei spat at him. "Daniu! I want to divorce you!" "What did you say?" Daniu was unhappy when he heard this.
He thought to himself that this woman had another man outside after all. Perhaps it was this Song Yao who set them up. It seemed that his mother was right. Women had to be beaten!
"You b*tch, did I give you face? If you don't go back now, I'll kill your family!" After saying that, Daniu grabbed Han Pei's hair and was about to hit her.
Han Pei had endured it for too long. Daniu used this to threaten her every time they quarreled. In the past, it was indeed her fault for not having her own opinions. She always felt that since her aunt could give her a bite to raise her, she should use her entire life to repay her.
However, after what Song Yao said yesterday, Han Pei suddenly felt that she had been helping others for the first half of her life. It was time for her to make a decision for herself!
"Daniu, that's enough! I, Han Pei, have been working like an ox and a horse after marrying you for so many years. I've done what I can! But what about you? You and your mother have hit me time and time again! I'm like a slave raised by your family!"
"No matter who you go to! It's none of my business even if you kill their entire family! Anyway, I'm definitely getting a divorce!"

Chapter 124: Divorce
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"You b*tch, your wings have really hardened. If I don't beat you to death today, my surname won't be Li!" After saying that, Daniu raised his fist and was about to hit Han Pei.
Han Pei gritted her teeth and could not hold it in. This time, no matter what others said, she would divorce Daniu!
"Stop!"
A hoarse male voice came from not far away. Song Xiao and Gu Li were rushing home with a police car and the village committee member of the Yu Family Village, Li En, behind them!
Daniu was a hooligan. He was not afraid of the police, but Li En was a very prestigious old man in their village. Da Niu could not afford to offend him for the time being!
He smiled apologetically and stood in front of Li En. "Uncle Li, why are you here?"
Li En's face darkened. The people of the Yu Family Village really made him worry. First, it was Yu Yong, then it was Daniu!
He sighed silently and said, "Of course I want to ask about the good things you've done!"
Daniu was dumbfounded. He thought to himself that these police officers really liked to poke their noses into other people's business. It was not illegal to hit one's wife. Was there a need to mobilize so many people?
However, before he could speak, the police officer stared at the glass shards on the ground and asked, "Did you smash this glass?"
Daniu was dumbfounded. He pointed at the man behind him and said, "He smashed it! It has nothing to do with me!"
When the man behind him heard this, he felt extremely aggrieved. He pointed at Daniu and shouted, "You were the one who paid me to smash it! Someone in the courtyard saw it! How can you lie?"
"Who lied?" Hearing this, Daniu was even angrier. He subconsciously wanted to hit him, but fortunately, he was caught by the police!
The leading police officer asked, "I heard that you abused your wife and the situation was serious?"
"Who said that?" Daniu was furious, but he thought to himself, Isn't it only right for a man to hit a woman?
The cop shook his head. "I can't be bothered to listen to your excuses.
Got any proof?"
"What evidence?" Hearing this, Daniu was dumbfounded. Did he need evidence for such a small matter?
However, before he could argue, Han Pei shouted, "I'm the evidence!"
After she finished speaking, she directly opened her arm. The bloody wounds were shocking!
Han Pei continued, "Officer, I want to divorce Daniu! Ever since I was sold to Daniu's family by my aunt, he has been hitting me. Not only that, he even hit my four-year-old daughter. I had no choice but to go to my friend's house. I didn't expect him to chase after me and smash the glass in my friend's house! I can't live a day with this bastard anymore!"
"Bullsh*t! Why don't you find the reason for me hitting you yourself?" Daniu wanted to hit Han Pei after saying that, but he was grabbed by two police officers and couldn't move anymore.
The police officer turned around and said to Rhian, who was behind him, "Logically speaking, I can't interfere in matters like marriage and divorce. Come and say a few words."
Li En stood up with his walking stick. He didn't know why the divorce rate in the Yu Family Village was so high. First, Song Yao and Yu Yong filed for divorce, and now, Daniu and Han Pei.
However, because the situation this time was special, Li En directly asked Han Pei, "Han Pei, are you really going to divorce Daniu?"
Han Pei's eyes were red. "I've thought about it. I want to divorce Daniu!"
The entire venue was in an uproar. This woman looked so honest. What kind of situation had she been forced to take the initiative to ask for a divorce?!
It had to be known that many people had been domestically abused in that era. However, for the sake of their children and financial resources, most housewives would choose to endure it silently. In any case, they would have to spend the rest of their lives. What if the man who remarried could not compare to the first?
"I don't agree! You're a member of our Li family in your life! You're a ghost of our Li family in your death! Even if you want a divorce, I'm the one who suggested it! How can a woman like you mention it?"
However, Han Pei seemed to have lost control. "Uncle Li, please let me divorce Daniu. I can't live with him for another day.
Li En sighed when he saw Daniu's arrogant appearance. If Daniu knew how to repent and promised in public that he would never hit his wife again, he might even speak up for Daniu.
However, Daniu had caused so much trouble and even smashed the glass in Song Yao's house. Li En felt that she could no longer protect him!
Li En said, "Alright! Since you didn't get a marriage certificate when you divorced, I'll be a witness again!"
After saying that, he took out a piece of red paper from his pocket and asked the two of them to sign it. This divorce would be considered a divorce.
Without hesitation, Han Pei wrote her name on it and pressed two handprints.
When it was Daniu's turn, he refused to agree to the divorce no matter what.. However, because of Han Pei's special situation, the village chief did not wait for Daniu to sign and directly announced the divorce in public!

Chapter 125: I Don't Agree
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"I don't agree!"
Daniu shouted, "Why should she divorce just like that?! She's just a woman. How can she ride on my head?"
Li En's face darkened. "This is a new society! Do you think it's the past? Even in the past, if you beat your wife to death, the officials will come looking for you! "
Song Xiao, who had been holding back his words, said, "That's right! You still have to pay for smashing my glass!"
"Compensate... for what?" Daniu asked.
Song Yao said coldly, "I made it very clear before. A piece of glass costs 100 yuan. If you smash two pieces, that's 200 yuan. You have to give me the money, right?"
"Why should I give you money!" Daniu struggled with all his might, wishing he could beat Han Pei up again. However, because he was firmly held down by the police, he was finally brought to the police station.
After everyone left, Song Yao cleaned up the glass shards on the ground.
Although losing two pieces of glass made her heart ache, Han Pei had finally divorced Daniu and could start a new life in the future.
As for the glass on the ground, she could only wait for Daniu's family to send the money over.
At night, Han Pei held Zhaodi's hand and kowtowed to Song Yao to thank her.
Song Yao helped her up. "You don't have to do this. I'm not doing this for you. "
Han Pei's eyes were red. "Yao, thank you so much! If you hadn't helped me, I might have continued living with that beast for the rest of my life!"
Song Yao comforted her. "Don't be afraid. You're already divorced. Your life in the future is your own! Do you have any plans for the future?"
Han Pei wiped her red and swollen eyes. She thought that she couldn't stay at Song Yao's house forever. She had to find a job to support her family.
However, she was injured and had a four-year-old daughter with her. She really could not find a suitable job for the time being.
Han Pei looked around and suddenly said to Song Yao, "Do you need more people in your shop? I can work! I can do anything!"
Song Yao paused. "You're coming to work here?"
Han Pei lowered her head. "Is it because you don't want me?"
"No!" Song Yao said.
She was worried that she would not be able to find anyone, but she did not expect Han Pei to say that she was coming to work.
Song Yao said to Han Pei, "Since you're here, I'll tell you about the salary here. It's eight yuan a month for the first month. You're used to working for 12 yuan a month. It'll increase in the future. You'll work eight hours a day and provide food and accommodation. If you need anything, you can take leave at any time, but you can't do it when the shop is busy."
Han Pei agreed. Twelve yuan a month was too much. She could even save a lot of money a month by providing food and accommodation!
In the next few days, Han Pei's ex-husband, Daniu, was sentenced to three years for domestic violence. His accomplice, Wang Qiang, was also sentenced to one year for smashing the glass in Song Yao's house. Even Han Pei's aunt and mother-in-law were called to the court to accept the law.
Song Yao received the 200 yuan from Zhang Cui, but there was a condition to this 200 yuan. Song Yao had to plead for Daniu with the court so that he could be let out.
Ever since her son was imprisoned, Zhang Cui had been crying all and fighting with Han Pei's aunt all day. The two of them had also looked for Han Pei, but Han Pei refused to go back no matter what.
Afraid that her aunt would use the money to talk, Han Pei directly wrote an IOU to her aunt and promised that she would definitely ret the money.
Seeing that Han Pei was unwilling to relent, Zhang Cui looked for Sc Yao and returned the 200 yuan that she had spent on the glass. She also insisted that Song Yao release Daniu.
Song Yao sneered. It was said that it was only right to repay a debt.
Why did he have to make demands when he returned the money? In this day and age, the ones who owed debts were all bosses?
Moreover, Daniu was already in prison and the court's verdict had b issued. What could she do?
Song Yao refused immediately, but Zhang Cui took revenge and seni people to Song Yao's house every few days to cause trouble. Song Ya was not to be trifled with. There was Zuo Huo, Song Xiao, Sun Hao, even the youngest Liang Jie.
As time passed, Zhang Cui did not dare to come over and cause troul
These few days, Song Yao was about to go to Sangqiu City's First High School to take the exam. She locked herself in her room and studied seriously all day long. She even handed the shop to Gu Li to manage.
Worried that she would be in a mess if she wasn't in the shop, Song Yao specially raised the salary of the employees in the shop. Even the new employee, Du Li, Wang Hong's niece, increased it by two yuan.
The business of the shop was getting more and more popular!

Chapter 126: Forced Marriage
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Song Yao tore open the calendar. In three days, she would go to
Sangqiu City's No.l Middle School to take the exam. At the same time, Zuo Huo had no choice but to go back to work because of his work transfer.
Song Yao put the pen and paper in her bag and prepared to take them away tomorrow. Thinking of Zuo Huo, Song Yao couldn't bear for him to leave.
Ever since she confirmed her relationship with Zuo Huo, the two of them had been spending time together. Now that the two of them were in love, they had to separate. Song Yao could only force herself to divert her attention and think about how many key questions she had practiced for this month's paper.
When she came out of the room, Song Yao was about to get some water to wash her face when she realized that Zuo Huo was guarding the door and looked like he had not slept the entire night.
"Yao, you're awake?"
Song Yao threw herself into his arms and sucked on his scent. She immediately felt much more at ease. "What time are you leaving tomorrow?"
Zuo Huo smiled. "I'll go with you."
Song Yao was shocked. "Stop fooling around. The trains in Sangqiu City can't connect to the trains in the capital."
Zuo Huo smiled. "I know, but what I mean is that I'll go to Sangqiu City with you."
Song Yao's heart skipped a beat. Did he mean that he wanted to accompany her to the exam?
"What about your job?"
Zuo Huo said, "There are still five days left. I'll accompany you to Sangqiu City. Including the time on the road, it will take about three days. We'll catch a plane in the remaining two days and go to the capital together. I'll also show you my work environment."
"Do you really want me to accompany you to the capital?" Song Yao asked.
"Of course," Zuo Huo said. "We don't know when we'll meet again. Don't you want to tour my work environment?"
Song Yao replied without hesitation.
She had never been to the capital before. This time, not only did she want to visit the place where Zuo Huo worked, but she also wanted to see what was popular in the capital.
Also, it was almost the new year. She wanted to take advantage of the new year to buy more things that she didn't have to worry about selling.
"Zuo Huo, do you know where the largest wholesale market in the capital is?"
Zuo Huo also knew that Song Yao was in a hurry to earn money. "I know. I'll bring you there."
Song Yao smiled sweetly. "Then let's leave at nine tomorrow. I'll get Xiao to buy another ticket!"
At night, when Gu Li heard that Song Yao was going to the capital again, she started to worry.
"The capital is so far away. You have to be careful when you go out with Zuo Huo. I heard that the roads are filled with liars! You were deceived by that kind of person the last time you went out, right?"
Gu Li was worried that her daughter would be deceived, but Song Ping hurriedly stopped his wife. "Young people have their own ideas! At the very least, there's still Zuo Huo. What can happen?"
Gu Li glared at Song Ping. It was precisely because Zuo Huo was here that she felt unsafe!
Although her daughter was still with Zuo Huo, she had not married him yet. It would not be good if she did something before marriage. "When do you and Yao plan to get married?"
"Mom!" Song Yao frowned. She had yet to tell Gu Li that she and Zuo Huo were preparing to get married after her college entrance examination.
Gu Li ignored Song Yao and continued to ask Zuo Huo, "I know you young people have your own ideas, but as a mother, it's not too much for me to ask about the two of you, right?"
"It's not too much," Zuo Huo said calmly. "Of course I want to marry Yao as soon as possible, but I'm not the only one in charge of this matter. I have to ask Yao's opinion."
"Mom, Zuo Huo and I want to do something after the college entrance examination next year. We haven't told you."
Hearing this, Gu Li heaved a sigh of relief. "You'll be taking the college entrance examination next year. It's almost the new year. The two of you have to meet your parents and get engaged within half a year. Try to settle the matter before June."
"I know."
Zuo Huo said, "Actually, I brought Yao back to the capital this time to see my biological parents."
Hearing this, Song Yao was dumbfounded.
It turned out that Zuo Huo had already planned to bring her home.
Gu Li frowned again. "I remember hearing from Sister Liu that you don't have a good relationship with your family. What if your family doesn't approve of Yao?"
Zuo Huo said, "They've never raised me. I don't need their permission.
I'm only going back this time to inform them that I'm getting married.'
Zuo Huo's words were firm. Gu Li did not say anything else after hearing this. She said, "Then I won't interfere in your matters."
Gu Li was about to go back to her room to sleep when Song Ping said, "I have to say something! "

Chapter 127: Kiss
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Song Ping paused for a moment and continued, "You should know about my daughter. To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with you as a son-in-law, but if you dare to treat my daughter badly, as parents, we won't be easy to deal with!"
Zuo Huo smiled. He knew very well what Song Yao's parents were worried about. He held Song Yao's hand and said firmly, "Uncle Song, Aunt Gu, I know what you're worried about. I also know that you want Yao to live well. You're worried that Yao will be bullied or deliberately picked on by my family. .
"I know all this, but don't worry. I, Zuo Huo, will use my entire life to prove it to you. I promise not to let Yao suffer any more grievances. I swear that if I really do anything to let Yao down in the future, I'll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
Zuo Huo's words made people's hearts light up. Song Ping and Gu Li could not stop the two of them from returning to the capital.
Gu Li even smiled and said to Song Yao, "Then I'll discuss your engagement with your Aunt Liu. When you have time next year, let's hold the engagement banquet!"
Song Yao and Zuo Huo did not refute.
After all, as elders, they loved to worry about their children getting married.
Moreover, Song Yao thought that Aunt Liu was Zuo Huo's adoptive mother after all. There was no problem discussing the engagement with Aunt Liu.
After Gu Li and Song Ping left, Song Yao brought Zuo Huo back to his room. "Don't take it to heart what my father said just now."
Zuo Huo smiled. He really did not care about this matter. He was quite happy that Song Ping could say those words to him tonight.
At the very least, it meant that Gu Li really treated him as her future son-in-law.
"Isn't Uncle Song also doing this for us?" Zuo Huo said, "Besides, I'm going to marry you soon. I can't be happier."
Song Yao blushed. "Who said I want to marry you? Stop flattering yourself! "
Zuo Huo leaned closer to Song Yao's cheek. "If you don't want to marry me, why are you still speaking up for me?"
Song Yao said, "How can I help you say... Oh.
Before she could finish speaking, Zuo Huo kissed her on the lips.
Zuo Huo's kiss was intense and domineering. Song Yao couldn't push him away even if she wanted to. She simply hugged Zuo Huo's back and enjoyed this romantic and long kiss.
After kissing for an unknown period of time, he pushed Song Yao away in satisfaction.
After being together for so long, he had finally kissed her!
Song Yao's face was red. She didn't dare to look up at Zuo Huo at all. Zuo Huo held Song Yao's face and said, "Don't forget the things you have to prepare tomorrow."
Song Yao rolled her eyes. "Why are you like my father?"
Zuo Huo smiled and said before he left, "That's good too. I can still be by your side to take care of you."
The next morning, Song Yao got out of bed. It was only five in the morning.
She packed the books into her suitcase and brought two more sets of clothes.
Because she was going to Zuo Huo's house in the capital to see his parents, Song Yao specially brought a few bags of local specialties.
After packing up, Song Yao went to the kitchen to cook eggs and porridge.
Song Xiao yawned and walked out of the kitchen. "Sister, why are you so early today?"
He took a bite of the steamed bun and handed the train ticket to Song Yao. "Sis! I queued all night yesterday! Your seat is next to Brother Zuo
Huo's!"
After getting the train ticket, Song Yao smiled and put it in her pocket. She even specially cooked an extra egg for Song Xiao.
Gu Li brought Baby Xuan over for dinner.
Baby Xuan was going to be a year old in a few months. He had already learned to walk.
"Mom... Uncle...
Baby Xuan's milky voice made Song Yao's heart almost melt.
It had to be said that time passed really quickly. He still remembered that a few months ago, Baby Xuan was still a little baby who could not even speak and only knew how to cry.
Song Yao picked up a piece of vegetable and handed it to Baby Xuan. "Eat more vegetables and you'll grow faster. Our Baby Xuan is the most obedient, right?"
Baby Xuan looked at the vegetables on the plate in disdain. Coincidentally, Zuo Huo entered the door at this moment. He immediately waved at the man. "Uncle... here!"
Zuo Huo was amused by Baby Xuan. "Are you talking to me?"
Zuo Huo smiled and sat in front of Song Yao. It was rare for him to wear a black formal suit today, making him look even more handsome and appropriate.
Not to mention Song Yao, even Gu Li felt that her son-in-law was heroic!
"Have you eaten?" Gu Li asked.
Zuo Huo smiled. "Not yet."
Gu Li picked up a bowl and scooped a bowl of porridge for Zuo Huo.
"Then stay and eat."
Zuo Huo did not refuse. He picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up some food when Baby Xuan, who was opposite him, stared at him. "Uncle... eat... eat...
After saying that, Baby Xuan directly picked up the vegetables and gave them to Zuo Huo!

Chapter 128: Meeting Yu Yong Again
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Song Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She wanted to cry because Baby Xuan actually didn't like to eat the vegetables made by her. She wanted to laugh because Baby Xuan actually knew how to use chopsticks even though he wasn't even a year old! Although he didn't look very skilled, Song Yao was extremely gratified! Song Xiao still didn't know how to use chopsticks at the age of four!
"Doesn't Baby Xuan like vegetables?" Song Yao held back her thoughts and helped Baby Xuan pick up another piece of fish. Unexpectedly, Baby Xuan picked up another piece for Zuo Huo.
This made Song Yao a little angry. "Is my food not delicious?"
Obviously, Baby Xuan did not understand the meaning of Song Yao's words.
He picked up another piece of vegetable for Zuo Huo. "It's delicious. Uncle, eat..."
Gu Li immediately laughed. "Baby Xuan likes Zuo Huo, his new father."
Zuo Huo smiled. It seemed that he had not taken care of Baby Xuan for nothing these few days. "Uncle is not hungry. What does Baby Xuan want to eat? Uncle will give you some?"
Baby Xuan casually pointed at a dish. "Uncle, feed."
Zuo Huo smiled. "Okay! Uncle will feed you!"
After saying that, he picked up a piece of fish and carefully fed it to Baby Xuan.
"Baby Xuan is so obedient! Let's eat another piece, okay?" Zuo Huo patiently coaxed Baby Xuan to eat. He was even much more patient than Song Yao. It was no wonder that Baby Xuan liked Zuo Huo as his uncle.
After coaxing Baby Xuan to eat, Zuo Huo fed him milk powder and left the house at nine o'clock.
Gu Li was still worried that Song Yao would be in danger. She grabbed Song Yao's hand at the entrance of the train station and said, "You have to be careful. If you meet anyone on the way, you can't believe them!"
Song Yao would remind Gu Li about this every time she went on a long trip. Song Yao's ears were about to get calluses.
She grabbed Gu Li's hand and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Zuo Huo is taking care of me. You don't have to worry too much."
Gu Li sighed and said to Zuo Huo, "I'll leave my daughter in your care."
Zuo Huo smiled. "Don't worry, I'll definitely protect Yao!"
The two of them chatted at the entrance of the train station for a long time until the train was about to leave before returning to the hall. Song Yao and Zuo Huo also boarded the train.
Because it was not easy to buy a single room, Song Xiao only bought two sleepers after queuing for the entire night. Although it was a little simple, it was still better than standing tickets.
As soon as she got on the train, Song Yao saw an acquaintance.
Yu Yong, who seemed to be working in the city, was wearing a yellowing black shirt and a hard hat.
Perhaps it was because he was married to Pang Jiao, but Yu Yong was in a sorry state. Moreover, it looked like he had bought a standing ticket.
Song Yao glanced at Zuo Huo beside her. "Let's change seats."
Zuo Huo had just placed his luggage on the shelf. "What's wrong?"
He looked in Song Yao's direction and saw Yu Yong walking towards them.
"Yao, are you going on a long trip too?"
Zuo Huo shielded Song Yao behind him. "Is Yao a term you can call?"
Yu Yong's face darkened. "I have something to tell Yao."
After saying that, he pulled Song Yao to the smoking room. Song Yao shook him off. "What can't be said here?"
Yu Yong sneered. "Did you really change my son's surname?"
He thought that Song Yao had said those words out of anger that time. He did not expect that after he went to the village committee's house yesterday, he realized that Song Yao had not said those words out of anger.
"Why? That's my son too!"
Song Yao found it even more funny. "Don't you have a son? Whether that child is yours or not, it's still your son."
Yu Yong's expression was ugly. Was Song Yao angry with him?
"Song Yao! I say, are you done?! Jiaojiao is pregnant, but that doesn't mean that I don't acknowledge Yu Xuan! He's my, Yu Yong's, first son! Do you know how important our Yu family thinks of him?! Are you so heartless that you want to deprive me of my last right as the child's father?"
Song Yao sneered. "Deprived? Did I say that I wouldn't let you see the child? Besides, you're just saying it. Song Xuan is eight months old now. Have you and your mother seen him once? Who doesn't know how to say it? If you really care about him, why did you send the child away behind my back!"
Yu Yong clenched his fists in anger. "Song Yao! Don't go too far!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and was about to slap Song Yao, but he was stopped in midair by Zuo Huo. "Don't you dare touch her!"
Yu Yong roared, but his strength was no match for Zuo Huo. "She forced me first!"
"Reflect on what you've done!"

Chapter 129: Got the Wrong Package
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The incident on the train quickly alarmed the train attendants. They arrived the private room and saw that Yu Yong was about to hit Zuo Huo. Everyone busy stopping Yu Yong.
"Comrade! How can you hit someone on the train?" He grabbed Yu Yong's backpack. There seemed to be something bulging inside, like mercury.
"Open your bag!"
Yu Yong protected his backpack. No! This was what Pang Jiao had brought him. He wanted to bring it back to Sang Qiu City for Pang Jiao's parents!
"Open the bag and let me take a look!" The train attendant was completely impatient now. If the bag was carrying contraband, everyone on the train would suffer!
"No!" Yu Yong protected his bag tightly. Pang Jiao had said that he could nev show the things in his bag to others.
"You're not going to show us, are you? Then come with us!" After the train attendant finished speaking, he chased Yu Yong off the train before he coulc say anything.
About 30 minutes later, Song Yao heard the announcement on the train. It s; that Mr. Yu from carriage six was illegally carrying mercury and was current under administrative detention.
Yu Family Village.
Chen Lian was still stewing chicken soup in the kitchen, but Pang Jiao was already holding her stomach and complaining that she was hungry.
Ever since Yu Yong said that last time, Chen Lian didn't even dare to let Pang Jiao sweep the floor.
If she told Yu Yong, she would be accused of abusing her daughter-in-law again.
The weather was good today. Yu Wen and He Xi had gone to work in the fields. Chen Lian was busy in the kitchen. Only Pang Jiao was sitting on a chair in the central room, basking in the sun.
"Mom, is dinner ready? I'm hungry."
"Alright! Alright! Don't rush me!" Chen Lian cursed Pang Jiao ten thousand times in her heart. She turned off the fire and was about to bring the chicken soup over when her good sister, Zhang Cui, came over at this moment.
"Old Sister-in-law Yu! Something big has happened! Little Yong has been called to the police station! He's calling you over now!"
With a bang, the porcelain bowl containing the chicken soup fell to the ground. The hot soup scalded Chen Lian's feet and made a few blood blisters!
She couldn't be bothered to tidy herself up. With reddened eyes, she asked
Zhang Cui, "When did this happen?"
Zhang Cui rubbed her hands. "Just what happened just now! I heard it from the village chief's wife!"
Chen Lian was so frightened that she almost fainted. She knew Yong's personality the best. How could he be arrested for no reason? This woman must have instigated it!
Chen Lian was so angry that she didn't care about the blood blisters on her fe She limped over to Pang Jiao and slapped her hard.
"It's all your fault, you b*tch! If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't have beer arrested!"
Pang Jiao reacted to the slap. "What? Entered the police station? Who's in?" Zhang Cui rolled her eyes. Pang Jiao was a restless woman, just like her previous daughter-in-law!
"Yong! I say, how are you a wife? How can you not pay attention to your man matters?"
Pang Jiao sat on the ground. Yu Yong went in just like that? What would happen to her in the future?
How could Yu Yong be so careless? Didn't she tell Yu Yong to keep a low profi and not let anyone see his bag?!
Pang Jiao was about to go crazy!
However, Chen Lian didn't know what Pang Jiao was thinking. She thought tk she was lazy and didn't want to go, so she kicked her hard. "What are you waiting for? Your man went in. Shouldn't you go over and take a look?"
Pang Jiao got up and walked forward in a daze. Behind her was Chen Lian, wk was limping.
Soon, they arrived at the police station. As soon as they entered, Chen Lian knelt down. "I beg you to let my son off. He was wronged!"
The police hated people who pretended to be pitiful regardless of the reason. They glared at Chen Lian angrily. "The law is strict! We'll know if your son is guilty once we finish the investigation! What's the use of crying out injustice?"
Pang Jiao grabbed the hand of a policewoman anxiously. "Comrade! We're Yu Yong's family! Where is he now?"
The policewoman glanced at Chen Lian behind Pang Jiao and thought that this family was quite pitiful.
Of the two women, one was crippled and the other was pregnant. She suddenly felt that she had gone overboard with her words just now.
She pointed out a path for Pang Jiao. "He's being interrogated on the second floor. It's nothing serious. He just illegally brought a few catties of mercury. He said that he doesn't know.. He probably took the wrong bag, right?"

Chapter 130: Mother-in-law And Daughter-in-law
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Pang Jiao heaved a sigh of relief.
It was good that he was fine. It was good that he was fine... Something could happen to Yu Yong, but not now!
If something happened to him now, where would she go with the child in her stomach?
Soon, the door of the interrogation room was opened and the police pushed Yu Yong out.
"Mr. Yu, please go back first. It's just that we have to confiscate the things in the bag."
Yu Yong frowned, thinking that he had taken the wrong bag. Why would Pang Jiao let him take a bag of mercury to his future mother-in-law?
However, he did not know that there was not only mercury in the bag, but also the two thousand yuan that she had given to her family!
This money was originally Yu Yong's savings. Pang Jiao planned to let Yu Yong carry the mercury home and find a way to sell it. This way, not only could she quickly earn 2,000 yuan, but she could also have change to buy clothes!
However, she did not expect it to be confiscated!
Hearing that 2,000 yuan was gone just like that, Pang Jiao was even angrier.
But what could he do? As long as there was life, there was hope!
In order to protect Yu Yong, she could only give up 2,000 yuan.
Pang Jiao gritted her teeth and walked up to Yu Yong. "Are you alright? Did they ask you anything?"
Yu Yong smiled, thinking that Pang Jiao was concerned about him. He held Pang Jiao's hand. "I'm fine. I made you worry."
At this moment, Chen Lian limped upstairs. "Yong! Are you alright?"
Yu Yong said, "I'm fine."
He looked down and saw a few blisters on Chen Lian's feet. "Mom, what's wrong with your feet?"
Chen Lian naturally wouldn't let go of this good opportunity to perform in front of her son.
"Oh dear, I was just making soup for your wife. Your wife was complaining that she was hungry, and I still had to wash the clothes in the courtyard, so I was a little anxious. I didn't expect... I didn't expect the chicken soup to be spilled on my feet, causing my Jiaojiao to not even eat breakfast. I really deserve to die!"
After Chen Lian finished speaking, she sat on the ground and cried. Not to mention Yu Yong, even passersby felt that Pang Jiao was being aggressive.
It was one thing for her mother-in-law to cook, but she actually scalded her feet. Just thinking about it made her heart ache!
However, was Pang Jiao someone easy to deal with? She squeezed out her tears and immediately cried. "Mom, it's all my fault. I'll definitely make chicken soup myself next time! If I make chicken soup, I can still drink a little myself. You won't be angry at me because of something too."
After Pang Jiao finished speaking, she revealed the dark red palm print on her face.
Yu Yong's heart shattered when he saw this. "Mom! How can you treat your daughter-in-law like this?"
"What did I do to her?" Chen Lian covered her foot and perspired from the pain.
It was said that one forgot their mother after marrying a wife. She did not believe this in the past, but she had never thought that Pang Jiao's methods were so brilliant. If it was Song Yao, she would have been forced to apologize to her long ago!
Chen Lian was unhappy, but Yu Yong was even more unhappy. "Mom, didn't you serve Song Yao well in the past? Why don't you like Jiaojiao
Chen Lian was furious. "Who said I don't like Pang Jiao? Have I ever complained when I served Jiaojiao? I can't wait to dote on her!"
When she said this, Chen Lian gritted her teeth, but she cursed Pang Jiao ten thousand times in her heart for being a vixen. It was not enough that she had seduced her son, but she still wanted her to be a slave!
Hearing Chen Lian's words, Pang Jiao's attitude softened. She held her stomach and smiled. "Then I'll wait for Mom to take care of me!"
Chen Lian was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth. When she returned home, she told He Xi the entire story.
He Xi was still thinking about the last time she overheard the conversation between Yu Yong and Pang Jiao. Her mind was in a mess. When she pressed Chen Lian's foot, she accidentally pressed the wrong place, causing Chen Lian to scream in pain.
"I'm going to die! Did you do it on purpose?"
He Xi frowned. "Mom, I've been working in the fields for the entire day.
I still have to cook later. Let Yong massage it for you!"
After saying that, she ran straight to the kitchen, wishing she could get as far away from Chen Lian as possible.
Chen Lian gritted her teeth in anger. Could she count on Yong to massager her feet? In the past, it was possible! Now, he only had eyes for that b*tch Pang Jiao. How could she still have a place as a mother?!
Chen Lian endured the pain and applied ointment for herself. However, she thought to herself that if only Song Yao was here. She was sensible and obedient. She would not badmouth her like He Xi, nor would she talk back to her like Pang Jiao..
