Chapter 5

What? Return the betrothal gift?

Wang Dafen’s eyes widened and her lips trembled.

“No! I never said that! Don’t even think about asking me to return the betrothal gift, and don’t even think about severing ties with me!”

Once the relationship is severed, how can she rely on this cash cow to live a comfortable life in the future?

“Are you regretting it again?”

Yu Ruyan looked at Wang Dafen with cold eyes.

“Since you regret it, then… let’s just do this business-like. Zhan Ge, do you mind if we call the police on our big day?”

“Of course I don’t mind? No one is above the law!”

Dong Zhange’s eyes moved and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he could see through the thoughts of his little wife.

Yu Ruyan felt a little uneasy being stared at by Dong Zhange, but she didn’t care about that.

She must first remove this family of vampires from her body, otherwise there will be endless troubles!

Yu Ruyan hissed, “Then call the police. The injuries are so severe, they should at least be charged with intentional injury!”

“This is more than just a crime of intentional injury!”

Pulling Yu Ruyan into his arms, Dong Zhange said calmly, “I’m a soldier, and you’re my wife, so you’re a military dependent. If I really want to judge you, your crime is even more serious!”

Touching his chin, Dong Zhange said, “According to the severity of his injuries, he’ll have to spend at least three years in prison…”

Some people in the crowd were adding fuel to the fire.

“Oh my, we in the military compound are no pushovers. If we put a little pressure on the local court, I’m afraid he’ll get a sentence of five to ten years.”

These words frightened Wang Dafen so much that her face turned pale and her whole body trembled.

Where had Wang Dafen ever seen such a grand scene? Her mind was blank, and even amidst Yu Ruyan’s well-organized description, she couldn’t figure out the truth of the matter for a moment.

When she heard that she was going to go to jail for five to ten years, she was so scared that she almost wet her pants. How could she dare to act so recklessly again?

No more betrothal gifts!

She doesn’t even want to climb the high branch of the Dong family!

If she went to jail, her husband, who had long been restless, would probably marry a widow from the next village tomorrow…

Wang Dafen swallowed hard and said, “I’ll return the betrothal gift. I’ll just… just treat Yu Ruyan as if I don’t have a daughter. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me!”

Yu Ruyan was waiting for her to say this.

She immediately said, “In that case, return the betrothal gifts now, and you don’t have to attend the wedding banquet.”

Gu Yueting on the side felt that it was inappropriate.

Even though she knew Wang Dafen was not a good person, after all, she married someone else’s daughter, and on the wedding day, she demanded the betrothal gift that had already been given, and even kicked her family out. It was really…

To put it bluntly, what’s the difference between this and marriage fraud?

If this gets out, won’t people criticize and scold you?

Just as he was about to speak to persuade Yu Ruyan, he saw Yu Ruyan speak first.

“My friends and family have witnessed the whole story today. If anyone uses this incident to slander my in-laws in the future, you must speak up for them.”

She took a deep breath and said, “Even if you want to scold me, just scold me, Yu Ruyan, and don’t involve innocent people!”

Dong Zhange said in a deep voice, “You have a husband and an in-law family. Why should you bear all these ups and downs alone? Just be a good bride and don’t worry about anything else!”

With a glance from him, his comrades who were watching the excitement in the crowd immediately understood what was going on. They began to laugh and make noises, inviting their relatives and friends to go downstairs to continue drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and waiting for the banquet.

Yu Ruyan grabbed Dong Zhange, who was also preparing to go outside to entertain the guests.

“Send two people to go with you to the Yu family and get the betrothal money back. Don’t be soft-hearted!”

Dong Zhange looked at Yu Ruyan deeply, sighed for a long time, and touched her face.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it!”

Watching Dong Zhange leave the bridal chamber, the originally noisy room suddenly became empty.

The bloodstains on the ground had been wiped clean, and laughter and noise could be heard from downstairs again, as if nothing had happened.

Yu Ruyan knew that she had acted too ruthlessly, even somewhat viciously and cruelly.

But so what?

She is Yu Ruyan who traveled through time and space, and she has no mother-daughter relationship with Wang Dafen.

As a bystander, she knew what would happen in the future. If she was soft-hearted and hesitant, the tragedy of the previous life might happen again.

The tragedy of the previous life…

Isn’t the biggest tragedy the heroic death of Dong Zhange three months after his marriage?

Thinking of this, Yu Ruyan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Today’s events were so hectic that she didn’t have time to calm down and sort out Yu Ruyan’s remaining memories.

Yes.

Dong Zhange died in the scorching summer while on a military mission. When his comrades found him, his body was already severely decomposed…

When Yu Ruyan thought of the handsome young man who was as brave as the wind and rain turning into a pile of bones, she felt a chill on her back and a sharp pain in her heart.

This pity and fear have nothing to do with love, but are simply the kindness that every person with a conscience should have.

Dong Zhange’s ending shouldn’t be like this!

They are heroes who defend their country and people with their blood and sweat. Behind the lights of thousands of families reuniting, Dong Zhange and his comrades are carrying heavy burdens and moving forward.

They used their bodies to form a Great Wall of flesh and blood to block the violent storms, leaving the motherland and the people with clear skies and peace and tranquility.

No, she can’t just watch the hero sacrifice himself, she has to save Dong Zhange!

Dong Zhange outside the house didn’t know what Yu Ruyan was thinking.

He was surrounded by a group of comrades and the topic was Yu Ruyan.

“You’re such a good wife. You know what’s important at the critical moment. Tsk, you’re a real character!”

“She’s not only smart, but also beautiful and has a great figure. Our Deputy Battalion Commander Dong is so lucky!”

“No wonder you didn’t let us have a wedding night. You didn’t do this to protect your wife, but to get down to business!”

…

A bunch of rough men gathered together, and they were all young men in their prime. What serious things could they talk about?

A certain artillery battalion commander, married with children, said, “Zhan Ge, you’re a first-rate warrior, but when it comes to matters of nature…would you like me to share some experience with you?”

A deputy commander of a tank battalion who had never touched a woman’s hand: “What’s the difference between what happens between a man and a woman and war? Aren’t they both about charging into battle and conquering cities?”

The artillery battalion commander said, “You’re just a virgin, what do you know? Sex between men and women isn’t just about charging forward blindly. You need strategy and tactics. There’s a knack for knowing how deep to thrust. You have to control the tempo!”

…

Dong Zhange was speechless: “…”

No, is it your turn to worry about this?

I am the groom. Is it any of your business how I get intimate with my wife?

Also share your experience?

Old Xu, although you are married and have children, every time your sister-in-law comes to visit you in the army, you are as weak as a shrimp when you go for training the next day. It is obvious that your sister-in-law has drained all your energy.

Weak chicken!

“Shut up! Don’t worry about yourselves. Anyway, just don’t make trouble in the bridal chamber tonight. My wife is timid and can’t stand your noise!”

When these words were spoken, all the comrades laughed.

“Dong Zhange, can you honestly say that again? You call a woman who dares to stab herself a knife a coward?”

Yu Ruyan just walked to the door and heard these words.

She suddenly grabbed the door handle and her back stiffened.

What’s the meaning?

How did they know that she had cut herself with the knife to frame Wang Dafen?

Moreover, since Dong Zhange knew the truth, why didn’t he expose her lies and even cooperate with her in such a drama?
