"Mom, I’m your daughter-in-law. Why do you still treat me like an outsider? You’re really breaking my heart. Right now, my heart feels ice-cold."

Yuan Chun clutched her chest, heartbroken. "Mom, since you dislike me so much, I won’t stay here to upset you. I’m going home to reflect." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Then... Yuan Chun dusted off her backside and left.

Without Yuan Chun’s help, Mrs. Guo found everything inconvenient. When she had an urgent need, she had to ask people nearby to give her a hand. She even needed help to get meals.

Once or twice, people were willing to help her.

But when it happened too many times, they were reluctant.

Mrs. Guo had no choice but to pay them three cents a day for them to lend a hand.

Guo Jingling had a large chunk of flesh missing from his nose, completely disfiguring him. After staying in the hospital for three days, he returned home.

The first thing he did at home was to hold down Guo Xiaotao and give him a severe beating.

If Father Guo hadn’t stopped him, Guo Xiaotao could have been beaten to death.

Yuan Chun stood by, making sarcastic remarks, "Hey, back when Guo Xiaotao was beating Guo Jinghong, what did you say? Oh, that Guo Xiaotao was just a child, and it was normal for him to be temperamental. Just endure it, and he’ll grow out of it. You didn’t even let Guo Jinghong fight back."

"I’ve heard Guo Jinghong was beaten unconscious by Guo Xiaotao several times, yet not one of you stepped in to stop him, nor did anyone take Guo Jinghong to the hospital. You thought that Guo Xiaotao beating people was normal, and you believed Guo Jinghong was born to be Guo Xiaotao’s punching bag. Now that you’ve felt the pain yourself, you finally understand what it truly means to hurt."

"Guo Jingling, why don’t you just endure it? You just have to endure it. Once Guo Xiaotao grows up, it’ll be fine. Why hit him? He’s just young and temperamental, he didn’t mean to bite you, it was just an accident."

Her sarcastic attitude made Guo Jingling wish he could slit her throat.

He glared at her viciously, "Shen Yuanchun, if you don’t want to live here, then get lost..."

"Oh, you want me to get lost? Fine, give me the money, and I’ll leave right away." Yuan Chun held out her hand, palm up, "Give me a thousand bucks and I’ll go."

"In your dreams."

Guo Jingling kicked Guo Xiaotao and moved towards his own room.

Yuan Chun swiftly blocked the doorway, "This room is mine. If you want to rest, go to your son’s room."

Guo Jingling gritted his teeth but didn’t dare to confront her.

He couldn’t beat her.

Guo Jingling had no choice but to move towards his son’s room, only to find that it was still as messy, if not worse, than it was seven days ago.

A faint stench emanated from the room.

He was instantly furious, to the point of wanting to kill. "Shen Yuanchun, you’re Guo Xiaotao’s mom. Can’t you clean up his room a bit? How’s anyone supposed to sleep in this mess?"

"Pfft, who do you think is the mom of that little psycho? Even his real mom didn’t want him. I’m not stupid enough to pick up someone else’s trash to raise."

"Guo Jingling, I’m warning you, Guo Xiaotao is your son. It’s your responsibility to raise and educate him. I’m not obliged to do so. I’m still a young maiden and can’t teach a little psycho kid."

Yuan Chun snorted and turned to go back to her room.

The door slammed shut with a bang.

Guo Jingling glared at the door, grinding his teeth in anger, his rage boiling over, yet he was helpless against her.

What could he do, given that Shen Yuanchun was so formidable, even he, a retired Bin, couldn’t beat her?

He couldn’t do anything.

Guo Jingling had to team up with Father Guo to gradually clean up his son’s room.

They gathered the cotton and packed it into a large burlap sack, and piled up the torn clothes, planning to have his mother mend them once she’s discharged from the hospital.
