A week is enough time to move out. The Wang family's new house has already been built. Just pack your things and you can take it all away in one truck.

Where did Wang Hongqi go?

He's a driver, so finding a car is easy for him.

Han Dan rushed to the Wang family home, but Wang Hongqi was not home. His sister, Wang Hongmei, was tidying up the messy main room with her two children.

"Han Dan, what brings you here? Where's my brother?" Wang Hongmei asked, slightly flustered.

"I don't know where he went either. I live in a company-provided apartment at the chemical plant. They ordered me to move out within a week. The new apartment here is finished, and I wanted to move here. I asked Hongqi to find a car, but now I can't find him. I thought he had come back," Han Dan explained.

"Move back? Han Dan, you two haven't gotten your marriage certificate yet, wouldn't it be a bad idea to move back? You know how awful the gossip from the neighbors is." Wang Hongmei stammered.

"Then let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow. The house is ready, we've bought almost everything for the wedding, and both sets of parents have given their approval. Hongqi and I should get married."

Han Dan didn't understand what "red plum" meant.

"Han Dan, we need to ask Mom and Dad about this. Hongqi can't make the decision either," Wang Hongmei said, somewhat embarrassed.

"What do you mean? My uncle made me pay for the house to be built, and I paid for all the things. Wasn't it all for my wedding with Hongqi?"

"Hongqi probably already told you that your parents are worried you can't get pregnant..."

Wang Hongmei voiced the concerns of the Wang family.

"If you're afraid I can't get pregnant, why do you want me to pay for building the house?"

"Building the house is also in preparation for your wedding. We're just waiting."

"You, you're bullying me."

"The purpose of finding a wife is to carry on the family line. If she can't have children, what's the point of marrying her?"

"You, Wang Hongmei, don't speak so harshly. What did you get married for? You're supposed to be a mother of two, yet you still live with your parents?"

Han Dan was furious and started saying hurtful things.

"Han Dan, I live at my parents' house, not yours. What's it to you? What, you think you can act like the head of the household before you've even stepped inside?"

With their facade broken, Wang Hongmei raised her voice.

The two children started crying in fear. The boy pushed Han Dan, saying, "Get out! Get out! I don't like you. You're not my aunt. You're a worthless piece of trash that nobody wants."

Han Dan was stunned, feeling dizzy. How could a child say such a thing?

It must be something your family members often mention.

"If I'm so bad, why did Wang Hongqi provoke me?" Han Dan cried out in anguish.

"It's not that my family is poor, but how could a grown man marry a childless, divorced loser? Han Dan, look in the mirror, what makes you worthy of my brother?"

Wang Hongmei pulled the boy behind her and made sarcastic remarks to Han Dan.

"Fine, your house is too high a threshold for me to get in. Give me the five hundred yuan you used to buy things for building the house. If I ever set foot in your house again, I'm a dog."

"Han Dan, who can prove that you built the house? A divorced woman who played around with a young man and still wants money, how shameless!"

Han Dan was in a daze. Before building the house, Wang's father said to write an IOU.

After she took out the money, Wang's father didn't mention the IOU, and Han Dan didn't know how to ask for it back.

Five hundred yuan was swindled away by Wang Jia.

"You, you heartless people, I, I'll kill you all!"

Enraged, Han Dan picked up a pile of junk and threw it at Wang Hongmei. The two children cried even harder, and Wang Hongmei shouted, "They're ransacking our house! They're ransacking our house!"

Hearing the shouts, the neighbors rushed into the courtyard, asking, "Hongmei, what happened? Where are your parents?"

"Auntie, she beat me and my two children. We hadn't even entered the house yet, and she was already trying to send the three of us back home," Wang Hongmei cried as she complained.

"Oh my, isn't this the divorced woman Hongqi found? Unbelievable! She's already beating her sister-in-law before even entering the house! She's completely lawless!"

"I heard that she insisted on clinging to Hongqi, and they've even started living together."

"She's remarried, how dare she? We need to call the police and lock this shameless woman up."

"It's immoral and scandalous. A respectable woman from a good family, without even a marriage certificate, how can she sleep with a man?"

The neighbors' gossip filled Han Dan's ears. She had gone mad, smashing whatever she could get her hands on. "Wang Hongqi, I'm your daughter, why are you treating me like this?"

"Han Dan, what are you doing?"

Han Dan turned her head and saw Wang Hongqi, the man who said he loved her day and night, standing coldly in the crowd.

"Wang Hongqi, what did I lie to you about? You never intended to marry me, did you? You just wanted me to help you build a house, didn't you?" Han Dan asked, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs.

"Han Dan, can we stop this? When you divorced Lin Jie, you made a huge scene over money. We weren't even married, and you're causing trouble too? What's the point? Look at my family, do you think I have any money to give you?"

Wang Hongqi has become a completely different person.

"What money did I ask of you? I built your house, and I bought all the furniture, bedding, and household items in your new house."

Han Dan was in tears. The sweet love she had imagined was actually a sharp knife that had pierced her heart.

"Han Dan, my father built this house. You can take the bedding you mentioned. I don't want your things."

As soon as Wang Hongqi spoke, the neighbors started gossiping again: "Good heavens, the house was built by Old Wang, how did it become hers?"

"Our neighbors saw it clearly: the cement, sand, and wood were all bought by Lao Wang."

Han Dan gave up. She knew she couldn't argue with so many people. The Wang family had already spread the word that they had built the house with their own money, intending it to help their son get married.

However, the woman they wanted to marry was not Han Dan.

"Wang Hongqi, you've been plotting against me from the very beginning, haven't you? Hahaha, I, Han Dan, meticulously planned and saved every penny to build a house for your family, and all I got in return was your betrayal."

Han Dan, with his hair disheveled, looked no different from a madman.

"I never said I would marry you; it was all wishful thinking on your part."

Wang Hongqi coldly replied that Han Dan was right; Wang Hongqi had no love for her, only the desire to exploit her.

Who wouldn't be envious of a divorced woman with a large sum of money in her hands?

Wang Hongqi originally intended to swindle some money to improve his family's living conditions, but Han Dan insisted on going to his house.

Later, Han Dan pressed Wang Hongqi to get married, but Wang Hongqi used pregnancy as an excuse to delay. In reality, it was impossible for Han Dan to get pregnant with Wang Hongqi's child because there was a large amount of birth control pills in her water.

Han Dan staggered through the heavy rain. The autumn rain was cold, but it couldn't extinguish the flames of anger in her heart.

In just six months, she went from being the wife of a section chief to a homeless woman. What happened?

Han Dan thought of Li Hongxia, who had tried so hard to persuade her not to get a divorce, saying that she could just find a lover, but she had laughed at Li Hongxia for being shameless.

Now, I have no money, my body has been abused, and my family has no way out. What is the point of living?

Han Dan contemplated suicide. She didn't belong in this city; she had forced her way in.

In the torrential rain, Han Dan saw in the distance a man holding a black umbrella, protecting a girl, running joyfully through the puddles.

It was him; his empty left sleeve fluttered in the wind.

It was her, Zhang Man, the elementary school teacher.

They? They actually got together. So Lin Jie insisted on getting a divorce because of Zhang Man?
