Chapter 236 Hometown (12)
It turned out that Su Jinru had seen through him and Du Mei long ago, but he and Du Mei were like two clowns, performing their own ugly drama as she had anticipated.
She anticipated that their affair would eventually be discovered, and she anticipated that they would argue over trivial matters after they got together.
Du Mei tried to harm her but ended up being harmed so badly by her instead.
You might say she's scheming, but she didn't do anything from beginning to end.
She was innocent and harmless, yet someone else automatically helped her complete the task of taking revenge on them.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. She was mocking and punching Du Mei, but Du Mei didn't dare to fight back. Instead, she begged for mercy and apologized to her.
But in his memory, Su Jinru was a kind-hearted person who wouldn't even step on an ant.
She punched and kicked Du Mei, and her insults were quite harsh.
In Daben Village, Du Mei married Lai Gou. The two were birds of a feather, both being unruly and unreasonable, and everyone was afraid of her.
Du Mei was like a toad, disliked and feared by others.
Many people hate Du Mei to the core, but dare not hit her.
But Su Jinru not only scolded her but also hit her, and she could neither win the argument nor dare to fight back.
Qi Zhengyang realized that he had been blind and naive before.
I didn't see Su Jinru's true self.
He underestimated her.
Thinking back, he should have noticed this from the day he was reborn. The reborn Su Jinru was completely different. Unfortunately, he was arrogant and conceited at the time and didn't notice it at all. Not only that day, but until today, he realized that the current Su Jinru and the previous Su Jinru are completely different people.
Qi Zhengyang sadly realized what he had missed, both in his past life and this one.
Just like Su Jinru said, he was too stupid.
Yes! If you weren't stupid, how could you guard a treasure and then throw it away like a worthless stone?
Du Mei, whom he cherished and treasured in his previous life, turned out to be a complete scoundrel.
Qi Zhengyang no longer had the courage to stand in front of Su Jinru.
He knew that if he brought up the matter of the two children with her, he would only humiliate himself, just like Du Mei.
Neither of the children wanted to acknowledge him, yet he still fantasized about getting them to accept him again through Su Jinru.
Su Jinru was no longer someone he could manipulate at will. Nor was she someone he could easily talk to.
Even for the sake of her current husband, she would never let him acknowledge her two children.
Even someone as stubborn as Du Mei can only endure her beatings and scoldings; how could Qi Zhengyang possibly control her?
Lai Gou saw Du Mei return home looking disheveled.
"What's wrong? Who did you fight with again? It looks like you got the short end of the stick this time. Who was it? I'll go and get revenge for you."
Du Mei ignored the lazy dog and dejectedly went to get a towel to wash her face.
"Ah! Who slapped your face? Tell me, I'm going to settle the score with her."
Looking at the skinny, monkey-like, wrinkled-faced Lai Gou, Du Mei suppressed her disgust.
She said with a wicked grin, "Stop bragging. I'm telling you, do you dare to go and settle accounts with her?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Tell me, who dares to bully my wife?"
“Su Jinru!” Du Mei said, enunciating each word clearly.
The expression on Lai Gou's face instantly turned into one of disbelief.
"Su Jinru? She hit you? Why?"
"What else could it be? She hates me!"
"She hates you? Because of Qi Zhengyang? If that's the case, why didn't she hit you back then? She never hit you back then. Now that she's married and you're divorced from Qi Zhengyang, she has no need to!"
"Whatever the reason, she hit me."
"If Su Jinru really hit you, it must be because you provoked her first and pushed her to the limit, which is why she attacked you."
"You scoundrel, why are you siding with outsiders? Who's your wife anyway?"
Lai Gou chuckled and tried to hug Du Mei, but Du Mei pushed his hand away.
“Of course you are my wife, but I don’t understand why you went and provoked that Su Jinru. We are not afraid of being bullied by others, and we don’t go looking for trouble ourselves.”
Are you afraid of Su Jinru?
"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, it's that there's no need to go looking for trouble."
Du Mei hadn't originally planned to let Lai Gou stand up for her, but now Lai Gou's attitude made Du Mei very dissatisfied.
She suddenly became stubborn.
“Go avenge me, or you’re not a man. Your wife is being bullied by someone else, and you don’t even dare to stand up for me.”
"Alright, alright, I'll go teach her a lesson for you. You stay home and wait for my good news."
Lai Gou dashed out in a flash.
Du Mei felt a touch of emotion.
Although this man is nothing special, he's still better to her than Qi Zhengyang.
However, Du Mei quickly regretted it. What was Lai Gou? Did he dare to confront Su Jinru? Su Jinru was definitely at home now. Even if Lai Gou went to argue with Su Jinru, he wouldn't be a match for her. If he went to fight Su Jinru, she would have a man who had served in the military. Lai Gou would just be going to her door and getting beaten up.
But Du Mei thought again.
Lai Gou isn't stupid; he should know whether he can win or not.
He probably wouldn't even dare to go near Su Jinru's house; he would just take a stroll outside and come back.
Just as Du Mei guessed, after Lai Gou left, he really didn't dare to go and settle accounts with Su Jinru.
He took a short walk around the village and then went back, telling Du Mei that he had gone to give Su Jinru a good scolding.
Looking at the old, ugly, and wretched-looking Lai Gou, Du Mei felt a pang of sorrow.
Why is it that Su Jinru gets to live such a good life while she lives such a lowly one?
Outside, she was like a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone. In secret, she could only submit to this man, relying on his protection to eke out a living.
When Su Jinru got home, she saw the two children playing happily at home, so she went to the kitchen.
My two younger sisters and my mother were talking there, but when they saw her, they all shut up and stopped talking.
Su Jinru keenly sensed that they were saying something they didn't want her to know.
"What's wrong? What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing," Mom said, her eyes darting away.
Su Jinru asked her about her second younger sister, who was honest.
"Ah Quan, what are you talking about? You can't be hiding something from me."
"Big sister, Da Ya said that on the way to Jin Gui's house for dinner that day, Qi Zhengyang blocked An Xin's way and asked her to call him Dad. The two of them were scared and ran away, ignoring him."
“I knew it. He’s not giving up. He wants to pick the fruit from the trees that others have planted. He’s just thinking about doing good things.”
Mom: "Yuan Wenjie has been so good to the two children, raising them as his own for so many years. We can't let Qi Zhengyang acknowledge the children."
Little sister: "Luckily, Anxin is sensible and ignores him. Don't worry! This fruit isn't something he can just pick whenever he wants."
