After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Fu Cheng typed: "It's nothing, I understand."

After confirming that everything was correct, I accurately clicked send and sent the message.

After Lu Shiyi saw it, he didn't ask any further questions. It was probably just a slip of the hand that sent it to the wrong person.

After replying "goodnight," she put her phone aside and went to sleep.

A busy day comes to a temporary end in the quiet of the night.

A brand new day begins with the rising sun.

This process was repeated day after day.

Soon, it was time for Yao Yao to be discharged from the hospital.

That day, Lu Shiyi drove to the hospital early in the morning.

Lu Shuyao, who was feeling bored in the hospital, finally smiled again when she thought about being discharged soon and seeing her sister Lu Shiyi.

While Lu Shiyi was packing his things, she would lend a hand from time to time, and she talked a lot more than during his hospitalization.

"Sis, you just said you drove here yourself? Did you buy a car?"

Lu Shi nodded, still busy tidying up. "Well, to be specific, it was your brother-in-law who bought it, and he paid for it."

Lu Shuyao couldn't help but show an envious look. "My sister-in-law is so kind. A car is a big deal. You've only been married for a little over half a month, and he's already willing to spend money on it for you. It shows that he truly cares about you. It's rare to find someone as handsome as my brother-in-law who also knows how to cherish his wife. You must cherish him."

After saying that, she lowered her head and couldn't help but think of her husband, Li Haokai.

Not to mention buying him a car, he would even haggle over her daily expenses, and he hardly ever visited her during her hospitalization.

Lu Shuyao couldn't understand why he had suddenly stopped caring about her when everything had been fine before. He was just a little stingy at most.

Lu Shiyi stopped what she was doing and looked at her sister. "Your brother-in-law is indeed very good to me, but I wrote him an IOU for the money to buy the car."

"Huh?" Lu Shuyao opened her mouth wide, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed like something her older sister would do.

My older sister has been independent and strong-willed since she was a child. She never relies on others. Her car costs at least 100,000 yuan, so it's not surprising that she would write an IOU.

Seeing her sister's surprised expression, Lu Shiyi walked over to her, and the two sisters sat down together.

"Yaoyao, you must remember that in this world, apart from your parents, no one will be good to you for a lifetime, and no one will be willing to spend money on you for a lifetime. Therefore, we must learn to be independent and self-reliant. The first step for a woman to be self-reliant is economic independence. Our sense of security can only come from our own wallets."

"So, the reason I wrote an IOU to your brother-in-law has nothing to do with how good or bad our relationship is; it's just that I want to maintain my financial independence."

Lu Shuyao nodded. "Sister, I understand."

After surviving this brush with death, coupled with the loss of her baby, the realization of her in-laws' hypocrisy, and her husband's heartlessness, all these factors combined to make Lu Shuyao reflect deeply. She told herself that since God had given her a second chance at life, she could not be like before. She wanted to be like her sister, an independent person who did not depend on anyone.

"Sister, I plan to take advantage of this time at home to recuperate and pick up my old profession again. Once I'm fully recovered, I'll go out and look for a job."

Lu Shuyao looked at Lu Shiyi with a determined gaze.

"Yaoyao, I support you. Just tell your sister if you need any help."

Lu Shiyi looked pleased.

But when she thought of her sister's in-laws' true colors, she couldn't help but worry.

“Yaoyao, your in-laws are usually at home, which might disturb your studies. Why don’t you come to my study room for a while? That way we can look after each other.”

Lu Shuyao understood her sister's worries. She knew that her sister had been with her throughout her surgery, and her sister must know about the things the nurses were talking about.

"Sister, I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I've thought it through. My in-laws and Haokai treat me well, which is a blessing. If they don't, I don't care. From now on, I will rely on myself and live my own life well."

Lu Shuyao spoke casually, but she couldn't help feeling sad inside.

After all, they were the happy and fulfilling family she had once imagined, and the love she could entrust her life to.

Lu Shiyi tenderly patted her younger sister's head, "Yaoyao, you've really grown up."

Then, she let out a long sigh, stood up, and said, "Let's go, let's experience our new ride."

Lu Shiyi's words temporarily pulled the two out of the gloomy atmosphere.

"Sis, how's your driving skill going? Am I your guinea pig?"

"you guess?"

As they spoke, the two picked up their luggage and walked out of the ward one after the other.

Originally, Lu Shuyao had told her husband about her discharge from the hospital yesterday, but Li Haokai replied that he was too busy with work and couldn't take time off. Since the hospital was so close to home, it would be more convenient for her to take a taxi herself.

After hearing those words, Lu Shuyao no longer had any expectations of him.

When Lu Shiyi dropped her sister off at home, neither of her parents-in-law were home; they were most likely out playing cards.

After giving her sister a few instructions, she left.

Back in the car, she took out her phone and sent a money transfer to her sister.

Then, he sent another message on WeChat.

"Yaoyao, this 10,000 yuan is my support fund for you. You'll have to pay it back once you find a job and start earning money. [cheer up]"

When Lu Shuyao saw the message, she stared at her phone screen for a long, long time, her eyes red.

Around noon, my in-laws returned.

As soon as Li's mother entered the door and saw Lu Shuyao in the living room, her face immediately fell.

She turned to Mr. Li beside her and complained, "I knew I was having such bad luck today, losing money all the time. Turns out there's a jinx in the house."

Mr. Li glanced silently at his daughter-in-law in the living room, without saying a word.

Lu Shuyao, who had overheard everything her mother-in-law said, never expected that the first thing her in-laws would say when she got home would be like this...

She is a gentle and mild-mannered person. In all her life, she has almost never argued or quarreled with anyone.

So, upon hearing her mother-in-law's words, her first reaction was to get up and go into the bedroom without looking back.

Seeing her daughter-in-law's attitude, Li's mother, who had been holding back her anger from losing at cards all morning, vented it all at once. "What does this mean? She went straight to the bedroom as soon as I got back. Does she not want to see me? This is our Li family home. What, do I have to put up with her attitude when I come home to my own house??"

She knew her daughter-in-law's gentle nature, so the more she scolded, the louder her voice became, until finally she stood at the bedroom door and started yelling.

"She eats our food, wears our clothes, and lives in our houses every day. We even went to great lengths to take care of her for half a year, and in the end, she can't even give birth to a grandson. She doesn't deserve to be a woman!"

Lu Shuyao, her face flushed red in the bedroom, almost bit her lip until it bled. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she stormed out of the room.

Li's mother was startled by her daughter-in-law's sudden appearance, but when she saw Li's father not far away, she regained her composure.

"What? Why are you glaring at me? Am I wrong? You come back and don't even cook. Do you think you're the ancestor of the Li family, to be served the best food and drink every day?"

"If you could really give birth to a big, healthy grandson like the other wives, I wouldn't say anything. But look at yourself, you spent so much time in the hospital giving birth, spent a lot of money, and now you've lost the baby. That's really bad luck..."

Lu Shuyao, who had been holding back her tears, didn't want to listen anymore and turned to go into the kitchen.

Li's mother stood with her arms crossed, looking smugly at her daughter-in-law whom she had completely controlled.

"If you had been so perceptive earlier, I wouldn't have had to waste so much breath..."
