The pace was incredibly fast, just like that, she left, went back to her mother’s family? Watching this scene, Su Wenyue thought it was even more exciting than watching a play. Mrs. Wang, though she liked to sow discord on normal days, was always the kind to smile while hiding a knife. The more gentle her words, the more one should beware. Today, for some reason, she dared to talk back to the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law’s temper was so explosive—why would she splash tea on someone’s face? With this much drama, Su Wenyue admitted she was relishing in others’ misfortunes, but wasn’t it so satisfying to watch?

“Old lady, don’t be so angry. That Third Child’s family is getting out of hand. Letting her go back to her mother’s house to reflect for a few days might be good. Whenever she realizes her wrongs, have the Third Child go and bring her back.” Old Man Han was never fond of this backstabbing daughter-in-law of his third son, and now that Mrs. Wang had upset Mrs. Yang to this degree, Old Man Han naturally stood on Mrs. Yang’s side.

“Father, with the strong sun right now and Wang Family Village so far away, my wife has always been delicate, how can she travel that far? Maybe I should take her there in the ox cart?” As for the men of the Han family, they were rather caring towards their daughters-in-law. Han Lin wasn’t great in other aspects, but he was good to his wife. He had already believed his wife was in the right, so now he was even less willing to let her go.

“Alright, you go then,” Old Man Han said, tapping his pipe.

Mrs. Yang glared at Old Man Han, her chest hurting with frustration at her son’s siding with his wife. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Old Man Han say, “Once she’s gone, she doesn’t have to come back. You’re so concerned about your wife, huh? Well, if you don’t care that your mother is this upset, then you might as well just go live at your wife’s family’s house and never come back. ”

Old Man Han’s casually spoken sentence was more effective than many angry words from Mrs. Yang. The old man was throwing his son out—an extreme measure indeed. It’s not without reason that people say Han Lin is good for nothing. It’s not that Mrs. Yang underestimated him; Han Lin was simply spineless and incapable, a lazybones who relied on the family to get where he was today. If not for the family, he wouldn’t even be able to support a household. No wonder people looked down on him. With just a threat from Old Man Han, Han Lin’s steps faltered and he sheepishly returned to his seat, sitting down obediently.

Mrs. Yang’s disdain for him grew even more—how could she have given birth to such a son, one seemingly destined to anger her.

Su Wenyue had little respect for someone like Han Lin, considering both husband and wife to be as good as snakes and rats—not good creatures, spineless and unfilial. She was thankful her own husband wasn’t like that; otherwise, she’d be absolutely miserable. Even the man from her previous life, though heartless and flirtatious towards her, was still a figure of great ambition, a true personality. With that thought, Su Wenyue turned to look at Han Yu, only to find that he seemed to be looking at her as well, with a fleeting smile on his face.

Huh? Su Wenyue almost thought she saw wrongly, glancing a few more times at Han Yu, only to see him sitting there expressionless. She really must have been mistaken.
