Chapter 19

The appearance of Gao Xuelian silenced everyone!

Yu Tuanjie immediately stood up: “Do you still have the face to come back?”

Gao Xuelian glared at the delicious food on the table!

In that moment, she felt like Wu Meiniang had become a widow, losing Li Zhi!

When she was detained, she had suffered from hunger, and the Yu family had no conscience to eat so well!

With only one thought in her mind, if she couldn’t eat it, no one else would!

Gao Xuelian rushed up, ready to flip the table!

But before she could reach it, Yu Tuanjie slapped her to the ground!

“You dare hit me? Yu Tuanjie, you useless coward, you dare hit me!”

Yu Tuanjie, however, replied coldly: “I’m hitting you! You know what you’ve done, don’t you?”

Gao Xuelian instantly went mad, sitting on the floor, crying and shouting: “What have I done? What have I done?! I served your old and young! I gave the Yu family a grandson! And I still made mistakes? Am I supposed to be like those money-wasting, good-for-nothing women who don’t do anything? Am I supposed to be praised for only giving birth to daughters? Yu Tuanjie, you’re a bastard! Your whole family are bastards!

Are you in love with your sister? Why are you protecting her so much? Or are you infatuated with your sister-in-law? Why are you so biased towards them!”

Her words were so filthy that the Yu family members were all furious.

Wang Xinghua was extremely angry. She had been waiting for her eldest brother to handle things, but seeing Gao Xuelian again spreading lies, she couldn’t hold herself back and stepped forward to question her.

“I ask you, Gao Xuelian! Did you poison my daughter? What’s with the poisoned cookies? How could you be so cruel, poisoning a child! Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

Gao Xuelian’s eyes flashed. She hadn’t expected the poisoned cookies to be discovered.

She lifted her chin and said, “What poisoned cookies? I don’t know! Stop framing me!”

Wang Xinghua shot back, “They were found in the hole in your room’s wall, and Shi Liu said you secretly fed them to her!”

Gao Xuelian sneered: “Didn’t Yu Tuanjie also enter my room? Why aren’t you accusing him of harming you all? You’re all framing me, you shameless woman! Could it be that you’ve been having an affair with your brother-in-law, and now you want to slander me? How cheap are you, Wang Xinghua?”

Wang Xinghua had never been one to strike others, but this time, she couldn’t contain her anger and slapped Gao Xuelian!

Gao Xuelian, like an angry rooster, screamed and pounced on Wang Xinghua, knocking her to the ground. “You dare hit me too! Do you deserve it, you slut! Stop pretending to be gentle! It’s not enough that you’re seducing your own man, now you want to seduce mine, I’ll kill you, you whore!”

Seeing her eldest sister-in-law bully the second sister-in-law like this, Yu Li couldn’t sit still. She grabbed Gao Xuelian’s hair and slapped her face repeatedly!

Slap! Slap! Slap!

“Your mouth is so poisonous! Did the village donkey kick you in the head every day? You’ve done something wicked, and you still have the face to shout here? I’m going to beat the water out of your brain!”

Gao Xuelian was slapped into a daze.

Coincidentally, neighbors, hearing the commotion, gathered around, trying to intervene.

“We’re all family. We shouldn’t fight like this. Life has to go on!”

“Yeah, there’s always a place for your tongue to meet your teeth! Xuelian has just come back, can’t you give her some leeway?”

Gao Xuelian, sitting on the ground, cried and screamed as if she had lost her mother, threatening to kill herself.

The Yu family members were all livid.

Yu Li sneered and threw a bag of cookies to the ground: “Anyone who wants us to forgive her can eat this bag of poisoned cookies! Or let her eat them herself, otherwise, don’t talk about forgiveness!

Also, when I passed the high school exam, my acceptance letter was hidden. She told me I didn’t get in! How do you explain that? You all can calculate that, right?”

Those who had been trying to mediate fell silent.

What Gao Xuelian had done was truly excessive!

Seeing no one supporting her anymore, Gao Xuelian began to feel a little guilty.

Especially when Yu Tuanjie ignored her completely, making her even more anxious.

She definitely couldn’t return to her mother’s house to live permanently, after all, there was a sister-in-law there.

Only in the Yu family could she be the head.

But now, she had indeed made a mistake and was caught, and if she continued making a scene, there would be no benefit.

She closed her eyes, relaxed her body, and pretended to faint.

Banzheng immediately rushed up, crying out: “Mom! Mom!”

Yu Tuanjie watched all this without being moved. He picked up a basin of water and poured it on her.

Sure enough, Gao Xuelian let out a loud scream, opened her eyes, and immediately began cursing: “Yu Tuanjie, you useless fool, why did you pour water on me?!”

Everyone watching this scene quickly understood—Gao Xuelian was faking it!

Who in the family would dare speak up for her?

Seeing that her act wasn’t working anymore and that she had been unjustly hit, Gao Xuelian could only muster the courage to head towards the house.

If no one was going to take her in, couldn’t she go back to her own room?

But who knew, Yu Tuanjie grabbed her arm firmly and coldly said: “Gao Xuelian, don’t come back to this house! We’re getting a divorce!”

Gao Xuelian widened her eyes: “What did you say? Divorce? Why should you divorce me! I gave you sons and daughters, and now you’re doing a little business and want a divorce? Are you even a man?!”

Yu Tuanjie had a splitting headache. He didn’t want to air the family’s dirty laundry for others to mock, but he firmly said: “You’ve always bullied my family, deliberately brought trouble to our house by contacting Liu Maokeng, poisoned Shi Liu, hid Li’s high school acceptance letter! And there’s more that you’ve done that you know about! I want a divorce, and it has to happen!”

Gao Xuelian felt like she was struck by a thunderbolt!

Only she could decide to leave Yu Tuanjie, but this useless man actually dared to leave her?

She collapsed, screaming: “I won’t divorce! I’d rather die than divorce!”

She tried to rush into the main house, but Yu Tuanjie stopped her firmly.

With so many people watching, Gao Xuelian felt completely humiliated. In tears, she turned and ran away.

Banzheng glanced at Yu Tuanjie, then at Gao Xuelian, and ended up following his mother.

This whole scene ruined the family’s appetite.

The villagers who had gathered to watch the drama dispersed, and Chen Ailan felt utterly exhausted.

She muttered, “Having someone like her around is exhausting the whole family, and life will never be good! Eldest, you need to resolve this matter quickly!”

Yu Tuanjie’s face was filled with heaviness and pain.

Just half an hour ago, he had been full of smiles and determination.

Yu Li quietly watched this scene. She knew that everything had come to this point because of her actions behind the scenes.

But no matter what, as long as she could protect the Yu family, she had to do it.

Otherwise, once she joined the army, wouldn’t the whole family be harmed by Gao Xuelian?

Unknowingly, half a month had passed. Lu Guanshan had said he would come to pick her up in a month.

She wondered what he was doing now.

Had he… thought of her?

While Yu Li was pondering, Lu Guanshan was also thinking about this matter.

He had finally finished his work and went to the communication office to ask, “Are there any calls, telegrams, or letters for me?”

The communication officer teased, “Captain Lu, there really isn’t! You come to ask every day—what’s going on? Are you courting someone?”

Captain Lu’s romantic prospects seemed to be somewhat cold!
