A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

"It really is Nie Erzhuang. What's he doing here?"

"Liu Yan is doing so well after leaving him, could she be here to cause trouble?"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves as they watched Nie Erzhuang stagger closer and closer.

Liu Lizheng stood up, looking displeased. It was such a bad omen that Nie Erzhuang had come on such a good day. "Erzhuang, Liu Yan has already divorced you. What are you doing here?"

Nie Erzhuang's face was flushed from drinking, his eyes were glazed, and he was slurring his words, "So what if we're getting a divorce! She's still my woman, Liu Yan! Liu Yan, you come out here!"

As he spoke, he barged into the banquet hall.

Liu Lizheng shouted, "Quickly, two people, grab him!"

Da Ma and Xiao Ma immediately stepped forward to stop Nie Erzhuang, but Nie Erzhuang was already strong, and now that he had drunk alcohol, he was acting crazy and extremely strong. Despite Da Ma and Xiao Ma's obstruction, he still managed to break into the center of the banquet and head straight for Nie Qianqian.

When Liu Yan saw Nie Erzhuang's drunken and unruly state, she felt a little scared, but more than that, she felt disgusted. How could she have tolerated this kind of man for so many years?

Nie Qianqian stood protectively in front of Liu Yan, coldly looking at Nie Erzhuang in front of her, "Mother, don't be afraid."

Liu Yan glared at Nie Erzhuang with hatred, "Mother is not afraid. I am not afraid of this disgusting man."

Having gone through so much, she is stronger than before. Even if she feels a little scared, she can face it on her own and will no longer hide behind Nie Qianqian.

When Nie Erzhuang heard Nie Qianqian call the woman beside him "mother," he finally looked at Liu Yan. His previously dazed eyes widened instantly, as if he had sobered up in a flash. This person in front of him was Liu Yan?!

He had never seen such a figure in the village before; he could only see it in the homes of people who worked in the county town. He never dared to look directly at her, and could only steal glances at her from the side.

"You are... Liu Yan? You look completely different..."

Liu Yan was wearing a dark blue jumpsuit, clearly a high-quality item from a clothing store in the county town. Her hair was neatly combed and adorned with a pearl hairpin. Her skin was flawless and radiant.

Nie Erzhuang felt a sudden surge of inferiority; Liu Yan's change made him feel unworthy of her.

If Liu Yan had originally dressed like this, how could he have agreed to divorce her?

Liu Yan coldly said to him, "This is my home. You're not welcome here. Leave now!"

Nie Erzhuang was startled. Not only had Liu Yan's appearance changed, but her manner of speaking and tone of voice had also changed.

Nie Erzhuang blurted out, "Isn't your home my home too!"

Liu Yan: "We're divorced, we have absolutely no connection. This is my Liu family, not your Nie family."

Nie Erzhuang's expression changed, and a hint of anger appeared on his face. But then he remembered what Old Madam Nie had told him, "Women love to hear a few sweet words. Say some nice things and lower your stance, and she will naturally come back."

Nie Erzhuang tried his best to soften his expression and tone, "Yan, I've thought it through these past few days. I shouldn't have hit you, I shouldn't have hit Qianqian. I was wrong before, and I swear I won't hit you again. I will treat you well. It's not easy for you to live alone after the divorce. Let's get back together. You can go back to the Nie family, and we can live a good life together. I will take good care of you. If you don't want to go back to the Nie family, I can move here."

Nie Erzhuang felt that his attitude was so gentle that Liu Yan would surely be moved.

Sure enough, after hearing Nie Erzhuang's words, Liu Yan's breathing became increasingly labored, and her face grew redder and redder.

Mother's trick really worked.

Liu Yan was so angry her chest felt like it was going to explode. How could there be such a shameless man? How could she have been blind for twenty years? At this moment, no words could express the anger overflowing in her chest. She glared fiercely at Nie Erzhuang:

"Pooh!"

With a spit, saliva was sprayed directly onto Nie Erzhuang's face.

Nie Erzhuang was stunned when she was spit on him; why would she react like that?

Liu Yan was furious: "You shameless, utterly shameless! Who wants to get back together with you? Who wants to go back to that den of wolves? You even want to move here? What gives you the nerve? This is my and Nie Qianqian's house. It has nothing to do with you. Don't even think about getting involved! You, you, you are truly shameless! Bah! Get out of here!"

Looking at her mother's angry expression, Nie Qianqian thought, "Hmm, my mother is really furious. She's probably used every curse word she knows in her life."

Nie Qianqian's voice was cold, "You don't actually think that if you say a few sweet words, my mother will go back with you, do you? Do you think that women who have divorced can't survive and need a man like you to rescue them? How foolish and ridiculous."

"Domestic violence only happens once or countless times. If you say you won't hit people again, you're just fooling yourself. You hit me and my mother, and we will never forgive you in this lifetime. It's not something you can get away with by saying a few nice words!"

“You see, my mother is doing very well after her divorce. She’s ten thousand times better off than she was in the Nie family, and better off than anyone in your Nie family. She doesn’t need anyone to rescue her. My mother is capable; she is self-reliant and doesn’t need to depend on a man, especially a useless one.”

Grandma Ma sat next to Liu Yan. She was indebted to Nie Qianqian and sympathized with Liu Yan's previous experiences. Hearing Nie Erzhuang's words, she couldn't help but retort, "You just said that Liu Yan has changed her appearance. Do you know what a woman's appearance and complexion look like? It's all about how her family raises her. A lover is like a flower. You were incompetent when you were her husband, which is why Liu Yan looks old and haggard."

"She's doing well now that she's out here, and you see she's changed and doing well, so you want to get back together and take advantage of her? How can you think such a good thing? Erzhuang, just because you have a boyfriend doesn't make you a man. You have to stand tall and do things properly to be a real man. If you don't have the ability, that's fine, but you can't lose your dignity. That's your bottom line and your dignity as a human being!"

After Grandma Ma finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but want to applaud and cheer. Everyone present was on good terms with Liu Yan's family.

"That makes sense, Erzhuang, are you even a man?"

"Get out of here, don't get in my way."

"Hmph, Erzhuang, you regret it now, but it's no use regretting it now!"

Nie Erzhuang originally thought that by lowering his stance, he could soften Liu Yan's heart and make her go home, but he never expected that Liu Yan and the others would react this way.

Liu Yan's words, Nie Qianqian's words, and Grandma Ma's words shattered his pride as a man. Surrounded by voices of condemnation, he was already drunk, and hearing these voices made him feel like his head was about to explode.

He clutched his head, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

"Get out of here."

"Don't come again."

His head was throbbing more and more, and he felt like the people around him were chanting mantras. "Ahhhhhh!!!"

His eyes were bloodshot, his face was crazed, and he used all his strength to overturn the table in front of him. With a crash, the table fell to the ground, the bowls and plates shattered, and the food on the table was scattered all over the floor.

Nie Erzhuang roared, "So what if you're doing well! You're a divorced woman, if you don't get back together with me, do you think anyone else will want you?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's voice rang out, "A woman as good as her will naturally be sought after."
