At fifty, she remarried into a wealthy family; her ex-husband knelt down and begged for reconciliati

Wu Man turned around and glared at her, but didn't argue with her. Instead, she picked up her phone and went back to her bedroom.

She can't let this go unchecked. This daughter-in-law is just like her mother; she's incredibly fierce. If she's unhappy, she'll throw things around and even take away her son's car keys, making it impossible for him to go to work.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she studied neurosurgery and ended up mentally ill.

Xu Hemei reached out and blocked her way. "Give me back my bracelet."

Wu Man feigned ignorance, "Oh dear, why are you asking me for your own things!"

Xu Hemei said coldly, "You took it. Believe me or not, I'll call the police!"

Wu Man chuckled, "Don't make things up without evidence."

Xu Hemei looked at her and said, "Are you kidding me? This is theft, do you know that?!"

Wu Man couldn't stand the word "steal." "What theft? You bought such an expensive bracelet, did you even consider my son?"

Xu Hemei laughed angrily, her emotions somewhat collapsing as she yelled at her, "Your son, your son! What kind of mother-in-law acts like this? Anyone who doesn't know better would think I'm trying to steal your man! Do you know what this condition is called in psychological medicine? Oedipus complex! It's a disease!"

The next moment, a sharp "slap" resounded as a slap landed on Xu Hemei's face.

Xu Hemei was stunned, and Wu Man was also dumbfounded.

Xu Hemei chuckled softly, "I'm sick too."

After saying that, she picked up a glass vase from the cabinet and smashed it on the ground in a fit of rage.

The glass shattered instantly.

The next moment, the door opened, and Duan Fei, returning from his night shift, was utterly exhausted upon seeing this scene. "What happened now...?"

Xu Hemei didn't say a word, but Wu Man took the initiative to complain, "Look at the kind of wife you married, what a disgrace to your family!"

Duan Fei was also on the verge of a breakdown, and roared, "Can't you guys just shut up for a second!"

Ignoring Duan Fei's breakdown, Xu Hemei turned and went into the bedroom, quickly packed her things, then came out with her suitcase, picked up Duan Fei's car keys from the entryway cabinet, and said, "You can live with your mother."

After saying that, she picked up her suitcase and gracefully closed the door.

Wu Man realized what was happening, "The car, she took the car!"

Duan Fei was exhausted and had no time to care anymore. He changed his shoes and went into the bedroom.

Wu Man went out and chased after her. As she watched Xu Hemei ride the elevator down, she shouted, "This is my son's car!"

Xu Hemei rolled her eyes, stopped responding, and took the elevator down.

When she got downstairs, her phone started ringing with calls from Wu Man. She didn't answer any of them and immediately blocked and deleted them.

She was utterly disappointed in both her family and the man.

The car drove aimlessly through the streets; she had nowhere to go.

If my parents weren't divorced, I could go home and confide in them to get through this difficult time.

But now, Dad has a new family, and the old house has been sold.

She has no home.

Fortunately, there was the car her mother bought for her. The car was purchased before the marriage and registered in her name, just like Duan Fei's house, it was considered premarital property.

The car slowly came to a stop in front of a hotel.

After parking the car, she dragged herself into the hotel and booked a room.

The next morning, He Qiaoyun woke up to find the sky dark and gloomy, as if it was about to rain. She found a roll of tape and hurriedly drove to the greenhouse.

As we reached the fields, the sky grew increasingly dark, and the rumbling of thunder filled the air, sending shivers down our spines.

She hadn't expected the rain to be so unpredictable, coming so suddenly.

The hole wasn't huge, but it wasn't small either. However, if summer rainwater got in, it would ruin the entire greenhouse of fruit.

She unloaded the ladder from the car, walked to the damaged shed, set up the triangular ladder, climbed up shakily, and peeled off layer after layer of tape.

Only when she felt it was secure did she drop the tape down and then carefully walk down the ladder.

Then, without warning, a torrential downpour began.

The cold raindrops fell on her head. She didn't even have time to put the ladder away before she hurriedly ran back and scrambled into the car.

She closed the car door, her clothes soaked through, and white fog formed on the car windows. She reached out and wiped them clean. Through the windshield, she saw someone running towards her car from the field across the road.

It is He Gui.

He Gui hadn't expected the downpour to be so sudden. He was soaked to the bone. When he saw He Qiaoyun's car in the distance, it was like seeing a savior. He patted her car window and said, "He Qiaoyun, open the door!"

He Qiaoyun looked at He Gui, who was soaked to the bone outside the car, without any sympathy or intention to open the car door. Instead, she coldly started the car.

Seeing that she seemed deaf, He Gui banged on the car door twice more and shouted even louder, "He Qiaoyun, open the door!"

He Qiaoyun turned to the side, rolled down the passenger window, and said, "Keep your distance, I'm about to drive. I'm not responsible if you get scratched."

He Gui was stunned when he heard her words, even though she was standing in the pouring rain. But after she rolled up the car window, he subconsciously took two steps back.

He Qiaoyun looked ahead, released the handbrake, and stepped on the gas to leave.

His getting wet in the rain has nothing to do with her, but her getting wet in the rain is his fault. There's no need to feel sorry for such a despicable person.

When she got home, she changed out of her wet clothes and sat on the awning watching the rain.

The rain didn't stop until 8:30.

The rain in the sky stopped, but it started raining in the village.

She got up and went back inside, only to find her phone ringing. It turned out that He Gui had tagged her in the village's WeChat group.

He Gui: [He Qiaoyun, you've really gone too far. We're all from the same village. I went to check on the grapes in the greenhouse just now, and it suddenly started pouring rain. I begged you, in a low voice, to give me a ride, and you just stepped on the gas and drove off. Everyone, please be the judge, is what she did right?]

Even if you're not in the right, you can still be very assertive.

He Qiaoyun scrolled through the chat history. Most of these people firmly stood on He Gui's side and criticized He Qiaoyun, while a small number of people were just watching the show from the sidelines, swaying back and forth.

She tagged He Gui and replied: 【That's not true. Stop spreading rumors and slandering me. I didn't see you at the greenhouse this morning.】

There were only the two of them, her and He Gui, in the field just now. As long as she stubbornly denies it, nothing we say will make a difference.

He Gui's wife, Huang Juanjuan, stepped forward and angrily sent a voice message: "He Qiaoyun, our He Gui came back soaking wet and now he has a cold. I thought you were an upright person, but I didn't expect you to dare to do it and not admit it!"

He Qiaoyun transcribed the voice message into text and then replied casually: "Sister-in-law, what did I do? You're being so unfair to me. What does it have to do with me that your man got caught in the rain? It's not like I asked God to make it rain for him. Besides, even my three-year-old granddaughter knows to take shelter from the rain."

After these words were sent, the other side was speechless.

After a long silence, He Gui's son stepped forward and said, "Aunt He, Heaven is watching what people do. We're all from the same village; you're really heartless."

He Qiaoyun: [What did I do wrong? Why are you all framing me? @Village Chief, Village Chief, please be the judge! I'm just a pitiful woman. If the greenhouse hadn't been smashed, I wouldn't have gone out to repair it in the rain this morning, climbing the ladder alone, trembling and afraid of falling. He Gui didn't even come to help me. We're from the same village, it's so disheartening...]
