Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Xie Lanhua was speechless, her mouth agape.

Su Lingshan, who had been silent all along, had a flicker in her eyes, and her voice carried a deliberate softness and grievance:

"Sister, you've misunderstood. Director Hao is actually a very good person, gentle and caring. In the few days since I got married, he helped my sister-in-law find a new job and even arranged a good job driving a shuttle bus for my younger brother. It's just that he thinks I'm not good enough for him and looks down on me. I don't want a divorce either..."

She spoke as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Xie Lanhua immediately seized the opportunity: "Yes, yes! Director Hao just doesn't like your sister. How can your sister be as pretty and charming as you? Director Hao has already said that he feels sorry for you suffering in the countryside. As long as you agree, he can immediately send you back to the city! Don't you hate going to the countryside the most?"

Seeing this, Lin Tingting, fearing that Su Wanqing wouldn't leave, immediately took Su Wanqing's arm:

"Sister-in-law, I think your aunt is absolutely right! Don't be so stubborn about suffering and being poor in the countryside with my cousin! Look at the kind of life you're living! Hurry up and go back to the city with your aunt to enjoy a better life! That's the kind of life a human being should live!"

She then turned to Xie Lanhua and said:

"My sister-in-law has been wanting to go back to the city for ages, she talks about it every day! She'd absolutely love to go back with you!"

Before she could finish speaking—

"Snapped!"

Su Wanqing slapped Lin Tingting hard across the face!

"Shut up! Who gave you the right to speak here?"

Lin Tingting covered her face in shock, tears streaming down her face. "You...you dare hit me?! You vulgar, despicable shrew!" she cried, hiding behind Zhou's mother. "Auntie! Look at her! She actually hit me!!"

Zhou's mother shrank back in fright. She knew that this vixen's usual act of being weak and frail was all an act! Now that her son wasn't around, she had completely dropped the pretense!

She quickly pulled Lin Tingting, who was still about to cry and make a scene, "Tingting! Why are you provoking her? Let's move back and not get involved in this mess!"

She's scared too! Su Wanqing's eyes are terrifying right now!

Lin Tingting was so aggrieved that she covered her face and hid behind Zhou's mother, not daring to utter a sound. She only hoped that her cousin would come back soon so that he could see the true face of this woman with his own eyes!

Look how rude and vicious she is!

Xie Lanhua and Uncle Su's lips twitched. This niece... was too barbaric! She attacked without warning!

Su Wanqing, too lazy to pay attention to Lin Tingting's petty thoughts, turned her head and said coldly:

"Now, listen carefully."

"First of all, I didn't take a single penny from your Su family, nor did I take anything! Stop making false accusations!" What she took belonged to the original owner of the body!

"Secondly, you want me to divorce Zhou Yanshen and marry that bureau chief you're talking about? Dream on! Zhou Yanshen and I have a military marriage protected by law! Anyone who dares to break a military marriage is going against the law!"

"Third, now, immediately, get out of my house!"

She narrowed her eyes, realizing that with so many people around, she couldn't directly hit her elders. It seemed she could only sneakily put them in a sack and beat them when no one was around. She'd vent her anger first, then send the whole family to the police station; none of them would escape.

Uncle Su and Xie Lanhua exchanged bewildered glances, their faces alternating between pale and flushed. They hadn't expected Su Wanqing to become so sharp-tongued! This was completely different from the niece they had imagined—the one who had suffered so much in the countryside and would immediately follow them back to the city at the mere prospect of returning!

Su Lingshan gave Su Wanqing a deep look. Something was wrong!

Something's not right!

The character Su Wanqing... she must have suffered enough in the countryside, so if she could go back to the city now, she definitely wouldn't hesitate! Besides, Su Wanqing should have been eager to divorce Zhou Yanshen, that disabled man, long ago!

Why would she want to stay in the countryside and continue living with Zhou Yanshen?

A terrifying thought, like a venomous snake, suddenly burrowed into Su Lingshan's mind, sending a chill from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head!

Su Wanqing...could she have transmigrated here too?!

"Fine, fine! You brat! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences, won't you?" Xie Lanhua said, hands on her hips. "You took the money from home and you're not planning to give it back, are you? Let us in and search! If we don't find anything, we're leaving right now! Otherwise, you'll regret this!"

Su Wanqing's eyes grew even colder: "Search? What right do you have to search me? Who do you think you are? I'll watch right here and see if you dare to make a move!"

"Fine, fine! You wait!" Xie Lanhua trembled with anger, stomped her foot, rushed out of the brick house, plopped down on the open ground in front of the educated youth settlement, and began to wail, slapping her thighs:

"Everyone, come and see! Come and judge this! My heartless niece! Before she went to the countryside, she stole our entire family's savings—a full four thousand yuan! That's the hard-earned money that her uncle and I saved from dawn till dusk! We raised her from a young age, fed and clothed her, sent her to school, and got her such a respectable job at the health center, and what did she do?! She committed this despicable, ungrateful act! Heavens! Open your eyes! Why doesn't lightning strike this black-hearted wretch!"

That shout brought out half the village.

Those from the educated youth settlements were the first to come out.

As soon as they heard there was gossip, they all came out with their rice bowls in hand.

"What? They stole four thousand yuan? My God!"

"Who is it? How could someone be so despicable as to steal their own family's hard-earned money?"

"This is absolutely despicable! They're like ungrateful wretches!"

"Auntie, who are you talking about? Which educated youth?"

Amidst the clamor of voices, Su Lingshan also ran out, her face filled with worry and grievance, clutching Xie Lanhua's arm.

"Mom! Please stop! We shouldn't air our dirty laundry in public. What if my sister misunderstands? How will she face the villagers after that? But my sister is the same. We were worried she'd suffer in the countryside, so we specially found her a good marriage back in the city, and she's so ungrateful..."

Xie Lanhua spat, "She's a good doctor in public, but who knows how dirty she is behind the scenes? If she doesn't hand over the stolen money today, I'll show everyone her true colors!"

She also had her own agenda. As long as she ruined Su Wanqing's reputation and got the head of the household to say a few words, she wasn't afraid that Su Wanqing wouldn't follow them.

"Auntie, tell me, who is it?"

"It's really not easy to find a marriage partner who comes back to the city these days. What an ingrate!"

Su Wanqing, her face grim, also came out of the house. As soon as she appeared, many educated youths and villagers instinctively focused their attention on her, with surprise and curiosity.

Sure enough, Xie Lanhua suddenly pointed her finger at Su Wanqing.

"Who else could it be?! It's her, my dear niece, Su Wanqing! Her parents died young, and we worked so hard to raise her, providing her with food, clothing, and education! And this is how she repays us? She stole everything we have!"
