"I can't stop you from spending money to support men, but don't interfere in my wife's affairs."

As Gu Qingsong spoke, he was about to lock Xu Fengjuan out of the door.

Seeing this, Xu Fengjuan no longer cared about being afraid.

She didn't get a single penny and was sent back like that. Li Meihong probably won't even let her in that night.

He quickly stepped forward and blocked the courtyard gate.

Xu Fengjuan's eyes kept glancing at Lin An'an's wrist, and she said urgently, "It's okay if you don't have money, it's okay if you don't have money, just take the watch that little hussy is wearing on her wrist. If you don't have money, you can give me the watch instead."

Xu Fengjuan had already noticed the shiny watch on Lin An'an's wrist. Although she couldn't recognize the brand, she knew it was a good watch.

She had a good plan. Although Li Meihong had worn the new clothes she made a few times before, she was very careful when washing them each time, so they still looked brand new and the colors were still vibrant.

Even if she doesn't get new clothes, as long as she has a watch, she can talk to her stepdaughter about it when she gets back, and her stepdaughter will probably be satisfied.

They might even give her a smile and praise her to the neighbors.

Upon hearing Xu Fengjuan's words, Lin An'an reached out and touched her watch.

This was a watch that Gu Qingsong gave her before they got married. It was small and exquisite, and she fell in love with it at first sight. After the wedding, she wore it every day with great care.

Xu Fengjuan asked for her watch right away, how shameless of her!

Gu Qingsong was so angry he laughed, and said sarcastically, "Birds of a feather flock together. You and your stepdaughter Li Meihong are just as shameless."

After saying that, before Xu Fengjuan could say anything more, he pushed her out the door and closed the courtyard gate.

When Xu Fengjuan heard Gu Qingsong say that Li Meihong was shameless, she disregarded the fact that she had been pushed back a few steps and almost fell, and reflexively turned around to look at her a few times.

He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one nearby had heard him.

Although Xu Fengjuan has broken off her relationship with Gu Qingsong for many years, if Li Meihong finds out that Gu Qingsong has spoken ill of her, she might take her anger out on Xu Fengjuan.

Xu Fengjuan's life in the Li family will be difficult then; Li Meihong might even instigate Li Yongfa to beat her up.

Xu Fengjuan looked at the tightly closed door and wanted to knock and yell again, but she was afraid of being seen at the Gu family's door.

She only dared to come when everyone was at work and there were few people in the village.

Now that everyone has finished work, she dares not shout loudly, for fear of attracting attention.

But after a whole day out, she hadn't gotten anything. Xu Fengjuan thought dejectedly that she would probably get scolded again when she got back.

She'd rather be beaten than scolded.

Because Li Yongfa always beat her at home behind closed doors, as long as she endured it without making a sound and protected her head and face, no one would notice she had been beaten the next day when she went out.

But being scolded is a different story. Li Yongfa is an honest man and doesn't speak up easily.

Li Meihong, however, was a feisty woman who could stand in the courtyard and curse for an hour without repeating herself.

She has a loud voice, and every time she raises her voice, half the village can hear Xu Fengjuan being scolded.

As a result, Xu Fengjuan would stay at home for many days without going out, feeling that she had lost face and was too ashamed to see anyone.

It wasn't until Li Yongfa, disgusted by her idleness at home, gave her a severe beating that she was forced to go out and work.

Xu Fengjuan was afraid of being scolded when she went back, so she lingered at the Gu family's door for a while.

But in the end, she was more afraid of being seen as having dealings with the Gu family, which would lead to gossip.

Xu Fengjuan hunched her shoulders and looked around, then pulled up her collar to cover her face before running away timidly.
