Chapter 30

Wu Guohua’s anger flared up instantly: “I didn’t even lay a hand on you, and you hit me? Yu Li, you’re something else! It’s a good thing I broke off the engagement with you! People like your family are rotten to the core! I’ve been working myself to the bone, defending the country, and you’re at home abusing my mother and beating my sister!

You also extorted money from my family and destroyed our house! It’s bad enough that you have a messy relationship with Lu Guanshan, but now you’re even engaged to him! What will the others in the army think of me?!”

Yu Li looked at him with disdain: “What a joke, such a big mouth! Wu Guohua, you’ve been working hard outside? Oh, is it because you’re too tired from being with Xia Yuying?

You know exactly what’s going on with Lu Guanshan! If you just used your brain, you’d know what I’ve been doing to your mother and sister! The one who’s been working herself to the bone these years is me, right?

In the end, you and your mother use such underhanded tactics against me, thinking I can’t fight back and will just accept my fate, right?

You can find someone else, but why can’t I get engaged to Lu Guanshan? He’s a thousand times, a million times better than you!

The things I broke were things I bought myself; they were never even your Wu family’s property. Why should you care if I smashed them?! And that three hundred yuan, I gave it to your mother as payment for her work as a nanny.

What nanny does such hard, exhausting work? Cooking three meals a day, making medicine, comforting, and emptying the piss bucket! The three hundred yuan I paid her is already a bargain!

If you don’t agree, we can go to your army and make a scene, let’s see who’s right!”

Wu Guohua was speechless after hearing this.

It was true that the plan was made by his mother, but he had also gone along with it.

He had originally thought Yu Li would keep quiet and just endure everything in silence.

But unexpectedly, Yu Li, together with Lu Guanshan, had resisted and even gotten engaged…

Wu Guohua’s eyes flickered for a moment: “I know you still have feelings for me, and you’re deliberately trying to provoke me, but trust me, Lu Guanshan isn’t right for you. If you really can’t let go of me, I…”

Before he could finish, Chen Ailan suddenly came out from the yard holding a stick and fiercely hit him!

“You shameless beast! Still daring to bother my daughter? I’ll beat you to death today!”

The stick slammed into Wu Guohua’s back!

He was in so much pain that he immediately ran outside, with Chen Ailan chasing him for two miles before he managed to escape.

Yu Li truly felt unlucky.

Chen Ailan was even more frustrated!

She cursed and grumbled for a long time.

That evening, after Yu Jiefang and the two brothers returned home and heard about what happened, they were immediately furious!

Even the second sister-in-law, Wang Xinghua, was angry: “Little sister, how dare he still bother you! If this goes on, let your second brother go teach him a lesson!”

Without saying a word, the three men of the Yu family directly went to Wu Guohua’s house and dragged him out.

Although he was a seasoned military man, the three men from the Yu family were all furious at this moment and beat Wu Guohua until his head was covered in bruises!

“How dare you bully my little sister! If you come to our house again, I’ll break one of your legs!”

“Wu Guohua, you coward! My sister has nothing to do with you anymore! Don’t you dare show up around her again! Got it?”

Wu Guohua staggered back home, gasping for breath, his heart filled with anger!

In the past, whenever he came home, the whole Yu family would rush to care for him, and Yu Li would always be working hard in the Wu family, doing everything.

But now, they had all turned on him!

He walked slowly, feeling miserable. Just as he was about to enter the house, he heard his mother and sister talking.

Wu Mother was dissatisfied: “Guohua keeps saying how great Xia Yuying is, but I think she’s worse than Yu Li! The food she makes tastes like crap, and when I asked her to empty the urine bucket, she acted like she didn’t hear me! If it weren’t for her being the political commissar’s niece, I wouldn’t agree to the marriage with Guohua at all!”

Wu Guohua was stunned when he heard this.

So what Yu Li said was true. She had been doing all the cooking and even emptied the urine buckets for his mother and sister!

But before, every time his mother called, she would complain about Yu Li, which made him have a bad impression of her.

Xia Yuying was proactive when she came to the station, showing concern, comforting him, and soothing him…

Before he knew it, he had fallen for her.

How had it come to this?

Wu Guohua closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, he took a deep breath.

It was impossible for him and Yu Li now.

But luckily, Lu Guanshan had an accident, and the chances of him waking up were slim. Yu Li most likely wouldn’t be able to marry him either.

As long as he fixed up the house, took care of his mother and sister, and got the wedding dowry money, he could go back, marry Xia Yuying, and smoothly get promoted to a comfortable life.

Wu Guohua was getting anxious.

Enduring the pain, his face swollen and bruised, he walked inside: “Mom, the salary I’ve earned over the years with you totals a little over 800. Give me 600, I need it for the wedding. The rest, you can keep for yourself and sister to spend.”

Wu Mother was stunned, and Wu Tong immediately turned her head, pretending not to hear.

Wu Guohua, seeing their strange reaction, said again: “Mom, where did you put the money? I plan to give Xia Yuying a dowry of 168 yuan, and I need to buy some things for the wedding. Please give me the money.”
