Shen Tingyu didn't think to pick up Jiang Ruoruo; he only knew that he was feeling very relaxed at that moment.

They played cards until the cards were all dealt, and then it was evening.

Chen Ying told them that there were freshly fried dough sticks and sugar cakes, and that she would cook porridge and stir-fry two dishes for dinner.

We all ate dinner together again that evening.

No one said that we should each eat our own food at night, and we all tacitly sat down to eat together.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to wash up, and Shen Tingyu realized that life could be so easy and enjoyable.

but……

It seems like he always lived such a carefree life before, and it was only after marrying Jiang Ruoruo that his life became so chaotic...

His older brother's words began to echo in his mind: "Decisively ending an unhealthy relationship is not being heartless; it's being responsible for yourself."

Jiang Ruoruo stayed at her parents' house until evening, but Shen Tingyu didn't pick her up. She was too embarrassed to go back home in a huff, so she could only stay in her room and sulk to herself.

When Zhou Fenfen called her to dinner, Jiang Ruoruo started wiping away tears, saying, "Look at them, their whole family only bullies me."

Zhou Fenfen could only advise, "You're not pregnant now, so be patient and wait until you get pregnant."

"Then you'll be the most important person in the world, and you can get your revenge properly."

When the topic of pregnancy came up, Jiang Ruoruo got angry: "I asked you to find me some folk remedies, but none of them worked at all."

"Folk remedies, aren't they just that some work and some don't?"

"I'll ask a couple more people for you later. You'll definitely get pregnant. You're so young, what's the rush?"

"eat first."

Jiang Ruoruo reluctantly went to eat.

With Jiang Ruoruo not at home, Shen Tingyu's mood gradually improved, and he was completely unaware that he was supposed to pick Jiang Ruoruo up for the New Year.

He just felt it was good for both of them to calm down.

He was unaware that neither Chen Ying nor Shen Pengfei liked Jiang Ruoruo, and they certainly wouldn't remind him that it was almost Chinese New Year and he should bring her back.

Jiang Ruoruo then stayed at the Jiang family home until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and the next day was New Year's Eve.

On the morning of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Tingyu did not go to the Jiang family to pick up the person.

Now everyone in the Jiang family was on edge.

Jiang's eldest son started looking for Zhou Fenfen, asking, "Did Ruoruo not tell the truth when she came back?"

"Who is at fault between these two?"

"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, can Ruoruo still spend it at home?"

When Zhou Fenfen was questioned by her son, she couldn't say a word.

The eldest son of the Jiang family could only look at his father, Jiang Weiguo, and ask, "Dad, what do you have to say about this?"

Jiang Weiguo then said to Zhou Fenfen, "Go and call them here."

This person was naturally referring to Jiang Ruoruo.

Zhou Fenfen went to call Jiang Ruoruo.

Jiang Ruoruo had been keeping a close eye on the movements outside, and she knew perfectly well whether Shen Tingyu had come or not.

With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, Shen Tingyu still hadn't come to pick her up, so when Zhou Fenfen called her, Jiang Ruoruo gave her a cold look and asked, "Why are you calling me?"

"Your dad wants to ask you and Tingyu what's going on between you two. Tomorrow is almost Chinese New Year, why hasn't he come to pick you up yet?"

“He… I didn’t tell him when I came back,” Jiang Ruoruo tried to save face.

"Doesn't he know you've come back to your parents' home?"

"That's impossible!"

“You’ve been back for several days now. No matter where you’ve gone, his family should at least look for you!”

"What do you think they mean by this?"

"Could it be that they don't want you anymore?" Zhou Fenfen asked, her eyes wide, already terrified by her own assumption.

Jiang Ruoruo couldn't bear this humiliation. Upon hearing this, she cried out, "Fine, I don't want it! I'll get a divorce! I don't want to go back!"

"Alright, stop acting crazy. Your dad told me to call you."

"I won't go, I won't go, I won't go..." Jiang Ruoruo continued her tirade.

Zhou Fenfen had no choice but to go to Jiang Weiguo and tell him that Jiang Ruoruo had started causing trouble again.

Jiang Weiguo sighed, "What's she making a fuss about?"

"Does she really want to spend the New Year at her parents' home?"

"Not only will she become a laughing stock, but what will she do if the Shen family really doesn't want her anymore?"

"Divorce from the Shen family?"

“This would be a laughing stock in our area. What about my reputation?” Jiang Weiguo asked, slapping his face.

"She has no real skills all day long, and all she does is cry and make a fuss. I think she's just like you!"

Zhou Fenfen disagreed, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, the good is up to you, the bad is up to me."

"Since you're so capable, why don't you think of a way to get people to go home for the New Year?"

“Let the eldest brother take her home. It’s almost Chinese New Year, what kind of behavior is this?”

"You should also talk to her. She's married now, not at home anymore. She needs to tone down her temper." Jiang Weiguo said with a long face.

Zhou Fenfen retorted irritably, "Now you're blaming me."

Despite her complaints, Zhou Fenfen still went to find her daughter, saying, "Wash your face and have your older brother take you home."

"I won't go back, I won't go back!" Jiang Ruoruo cried even louder.

“Oh dear, please keep your voice down, or people will laugh at you,” Zhou Fenfen advised.

After Zhou Fenfen finished speaking, Jiang Ruoruo sat there and kept crying.

Jiang Weiguo arrived shortly after. After arriving, he looked at his crying daughter and said, "If you don't go back and spend the New Year at home, what will people outside think?"

“You should be smarter. Look at the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family. She won over your parents-in-law as soon as she entered the door. You should learn from her. You usually seem so smart, but why are you so confused now?”

"If you think she's so great, why don't you adopt her as your daughter?"

Jiang Ruoruo's one sentence gave Jiang Weiguo a heart attack.

Finally, Jiang Weiguo, his face pale with anger, issued an ultimatum: "Either you go back by yourself, or your older brother will escort you. Don't even think about spending the New Year at your parents' home. If people don't criticize you, they'll just say that we, as your parents, didn't raise you well, and I can't afford to lose face like that."

After Jiang Weiguo finished speaking and left, Jiang Ruoruo grabbed the bed sheet, put it on the roof beam, and tried to hang herself.

Zhou Fenfen's legs went weak immediately.

Finally, Jiang Ruoruo's suicide by hanging made the Jiang family dare not force her anymore.

Zhou Fenfen went to find Aunt Shen, who had acted as matchmaker, to see if she could mediate.

Aunt Shen ran to the Shen family home to see what was going on.

She naturally sought out Chen Ying to find out what was going on.

Chen Ying simply said, "How would I know? We separated the family as soon as I entered the house. How could I possibly manage someone else's affairs?"

My aunt smiled apologetically and said, "The child is young and doesn't understand. Why are you arguing with the child?"

Chen Ying chuckled twice. "Whether it's a little or not, I don't dare to care. After all, it's someone else's child, don't you think?"

"I only dare to talk about my own children. Would I dare to talk about other people's children?"

"I might get a scolding from them then!"

My aunt continued with a forced smile, "Look at what you're saying, do you think she'd dare to scold you?"

"Of course she wouldn't dare. I haven't fallen to the point where I'd be scolded by her. Even if she's resentful, she'll keep it to herself. I still rely on my husband, Lao Shen, for food; I don't depend on her."

Her aunt could only force a smile and say, "Yes, yes, but you see, it's almost Chinese New Year tomorrow, and it's not appropriate for her to spend it at her parents' house..."
