Chapter 3

Cao Yunxia was a sharp-tongued and mean-spirited person; she was very jealous and loved to take advantage of others. After the original owner married the male lead, she saw that the original owner was beautiful and her family was well-off, so she was extremely jealous of her, and her mind was always filled with schemes to drive the original owner out of the Huo family. But while she was jealous of the original owner, she also took advantage of her. When the original owner got married, she brought a lot of good things with her, but most of them were taken away by Cao Yunxia through various shameless means. Hearing Cao Yunxia instigating her husband to divorce outside, Lan Yun’er twitched her lips and a cold smile appeared on her face. She was not as naive and easy to bully as the original owner! Cao Yunxia would be daydreaming if she thought she could run wild on her head!

“Jincheng, are you home?” At this time, another voice came from outside.

Lan Yun’er recognized that it was He Shenshi.

He Shenshi came now, probably to ask for something. After all, “she” had gone to He Shenshi’s house to steal things today.

“He Shenshi,” Huo Jincheng turned to He Shenshi, a hint of apology on his cold face: “I’m sorry about what happened today.” He Shenshi was a woman over 50 years old, she smiled, her face full of kindness: “It’s not your fault, I know you’re a good kid. It’s just…” She hesitated for a moment: “Your wife is not a good person. You treat her so well, but she’s always causing trouble. I feel sorry for you, watching it all.” Cao Yunxia heard this and immediately jumped in: “That’s right! He Shenshi, you tell me, what’s so good about that Lan Yun’er, she just knows how to cause trouble all day long, our house is going to be torn apart by her sooner or later. I was just telling Jincheng to get rid of that woman quickly, she’s a disaster if she stays in our Huo family!” He Shenshi frowned, although she didn’t like that woman Lan Yun’er either, but this was after all someone else’s family business, she couldn’t advise them to divorce. Besides, it was always better to encourage harmony than separation, if she advised them to divorce, she would be breaking up their marriage. She glanced at Huo Jincheng, “Jincheng, I won’t say anything more about you and your wife. I came here to tell you about the eggs.

Your wife stole a dozen eggs from my house.

I was going to save those eggs for my Da Bao to nourish his body, you know my Da Bao is not in good health, he relies on those eggs for nutrition, now that the eggs are gone, I…” He Shenshi’s voice became choked with emotion, and her eyes turned red. Lan Yun’er knew that He Shenshi’s Da Bao was indeed a child with poor health, he was already five years old, but he looked no stronger than some three-year-old children in the village. And He Shenshi, she knew she was a good person, such a good person shouldn’t be bullied. She stood there, frowning, then quickly walked towards the door. Walking into the courtyard, she looked at He Shenshi, who was dressed plainly and had a kind face, she smiled slightly and said: “He Shenshi…” He Shenshi was surprised to see Lan Yun’er come out, and even greet her so politely. Ever since Lan Yun’er married into this village, she looked down on everyone, always acting like she was above them, when did she become so polite?

He Shenshi was surprised, and Cao Yunxia was also surprised. Cao Yunxia looked at Lan Yun’er in surprise, but she quickly came back to her senses. She snorted disdainfully, and reprimanded Lan Yun’er: “Oh, you still have the face to come out? You stole from He Shenshi’s house, and now you see He Shenshi, aren’t you ashamed? Don’t you feel ashamed?” Huo Jincheng heard these sarcastic words, he frowned slightly, his eyes swept coldly over Cao Yunxia. Cao Yunxia received this look, and said resentfully: “What? Did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Huo Jincheng ignored her, but walked towards Lan Yun’er: “Why did you come out? Didn’t I tell you it was cold outside and to stay in the room for a while?” Lan Yun’er smiled, she glanced at him, and when he came over, she took his arm and said: “It’s not cold. After taking a hot bath, it’s not cold at all.” Then she looked in the direction of He Shenshi: “I stole from He Shenshi’s house, I have to apologize to He Shenshi. And I have to compensate her for her loss.” Huo Jincheng: “…” He Shenshi: “…” They all looked at Lan Yun’er in surprise, they didn’t expect Lan Yun’er to say such reasonable words. Cao Yunxia was also surprised, her heart churning. She looked at Lan Yun’er strangely, thinking that falling into the water had damaged Lan Yun’er’s brain? Otherwise, why had Lan Yun’er become so reasonable? But after taking a look, she snorted: “You do have to compensate! You stole a dozen eggs from He Shenshi’s house, you should at least pay ten times the amount, more than a hundred eggs, right? More than a hundred eggs is not a small amount, just pay her with your money!” Lan Yun’er had brought a lot of money when she got married, right? She should take all that money out and pay her! That way, this vixen wouldn’t have any money to spend! Lan Yun’er snorted softly, she rolled her eyes at Cao Yunxia, then said to He Shenshi: “Auntie, wait for me a moment, I’ll get the things to compensate you right away.” Then she turned and walked towards Cao Yunxia’s room.

Cao Yunxia was stunned, she looked at Lan Yun’er walking towards her room, her eyes widened in astonishment: “Lan Yun’er, what are you doing? Why are you going to my room? Are you going to steal something from my room again?” She put down her youngest son and quickly chased after Lan Yun’er. Lan Yun’er reached the door of Cao Yunxia’s room, she kicked the door open with one foot, then quickly walked in. Cao Yunxia’s room was messy, it was a real mess. She looked around the room, saw the can of malt extract on the table, her lips curled up, and she quickly went over to pick it up and hold it in her arms. Cao Yunxia followed in and saw Lan Yun’er’s actions, she frowned and immediately shouted: “Lan Yun’er, you thief, put it down! That’s mine, you can’t take it!” Lan Yun’er raised her eyes slightly, her eyes looked down on Cao Yunxia with disdain, as if she were looking at an ant: “Yours? You can’t even afford malt extract? This malt extract was given to me by my maternal uncle. You shamelessly took it away last time, now I’m taking it back!” Cao Yunxia was furious, but she was used to being shameless, so she also showed her shameless spirit at this time. She went forward to grab the malt extract back: “Give it back to me! You already gave it to me, it’s mine now, you can’t take it back!” Huo Jincheng walked to the door, he saw Cao Yunxia rushing towards his wife, Cao Yunxia was used to being domineering and fierce, he was afraid that his wife would be bullied. He was about to go over to help his wife,

But his little wife just lifted her foot and kicked Cao Yunxia to the ground! Lan Yun’er stood in front of Cao Yunxia, she looked down at Cao Yunxia with disdain, her fingers tapped the can of malt extract in her arms, and said coldly: “This thing, I never gave it to you. Such an expensive thing, how could I give it to you, a shameless rogue? You shamelessly snatched it from me last time, now I’m just taking it back!” She looked around the room and continued: “Everything you took from me; I will take back! I won’t let you take advantage of me, you shameless rogue!” Cao Yunxia felt a surge of anger rising from her chest. She glared fiercely at Lan Yun’er, grabbed her ankle and tried to bite her. However, Lan Yun’er lifted her other leg and kicked Cao Yunxia away. After being kicked twice in a row, Cao Yunxia cried out in pain. She angrily called Lan Yun’er a “little slut”, then glared at Huo Jincheng and shouted: “Huo Jincheng, what are you standing there for? I’m your elder sister-in-law, are you just going to let your elder sister-in-law be bullied? Why don’t you pull that little slut out and give her a good lesson?”
