Good for you, Jiang Cheng, you were just pretending before, weren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lin’s face was flushed with anger, breathing heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng got right in her face, spraying spit all over Mrs. Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretending? Fine, why don’t you try pretending for three years, working non-stop from four in the morning to ten at night!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve taken all the benefits and now want to blame me. Truly like throwing away a bowl after eating, with no shame whatsoever!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Chengyuan is getting married, and you claim you don’t know about such a big thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You knew and yet you still bound me to the Lin Family in the name of a daughter-in-law, making me work for you. Even landlords in rich families aren’t as disgusting as your Lin Family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng paused for a moment, seemingly trying to calm down, then continued: \"Return my compensation money and I’ll leave the Lin Family immediately. Otherwise, I’ll report your capitalist, robber behavior!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words were out, the faces of all the Lin Family members changed, their brows twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were already caught off guard by Jiang Cheng’s forged diary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But returning the money was more painful than cutting flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Lin Family silent, Jiang Cheng directly looked at He Dan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This sister here, the Lin Family is reluctant to let me go.

Locked tight! Locked as tight as can be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Dan was coaxed and dragged around by Lin Chengyuan.

Once you take the money, you have nothing to do with the Lin Family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng didn’t even look at Lin Chengyuan, not feigning politeness anymore, she snorted: \"Nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chengyuan clenched his fist, snorting coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good for you, Jiang Cheng. Even if you beg him in the future, he wouldn’t spare her a glance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng didn’t take the money directly but went to Uncle Sun, who managed the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Sun, may I trouble you to be a witness, to help count the money and make a note of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Sun was a smart man and didn’t approve of the Lin Family’s actions. As the manager of the courtyard, he naturally agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As per Jiang Cheng’s request, the prerequisites were clearly written, the money was counted face to face, with both parties signing and thumbprinting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng kept it safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original character and Lin Chengyuan had no wedding, no marriage certificate, and couldn’t transfer her household registration to the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had always stayed at the Lin Family in the name of visiting relatives, her household registration and food relations were still in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, when the Lin Family went to discuss the marriage, the old Jiang family house was pressing the original character to hand over the compensation money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why the original character trusted the Lin Family wholeheartedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like someone will have to sleep on the streets!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jiaojiao’s face was uncharacteristically mean for her age, gloating as she hugged He Dan’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister He Dan, you are really beautiful, much prettier than Jiang Cheng. My brother is really lucky, unlike Jiang Cheng, who is gloomy and annoying every day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Dan smiled gently, holding Lin Jiaojiao’s hand and said, \"Jiaojiao is also beautiful, if you don’t like her, just don’t mention her. She’s not important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm mm mm! Sister-in-law is right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them sang in harmony, trying to annoy Jiang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was Jiang Cheng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was unbeatable with her sharp tongue in the welfare institution. If it weren’t for getting the money, she’d have already made them question life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tutor suspected she learned five languages just to argue with people abroad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t enough room for her to perform in the country!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng straightened her back, and with her hands behind her, her scrutinizing gaze fell on Lin Jiaojiao’s face, making Lin Jiaojiao frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Jiaojiao, you only have one face. Throw it away sparingly! You’re so young yet you have your grandma’s meanness. Whoever marries you will have a grand time with an old wife as soon as they marry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this person who likes picking up men, could you please watch your step? You and I are standing on the same ground, who are you trying to look noble for? Or are you looking down on my peasant class?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Dan was stumped, not daring to reply, who dared to say they looked down on the peasant class?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Jiang Cheng’s retort, the eyes watching the spectacle widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this the Jiang Cheng who couldn’t be stirred by a stick?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sharp tongue felt like it was being wasted without doing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, it served the Lin Family right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jiaojiao wanted to retort but was interrupted by Lin Chengyuan’s shout with a blue complexion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Cheng, take the money and leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng stood on her tiptoes, sarcastically saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since when did the public area of the courtyard become under Lin Family’s control?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chengyuan glared at Jiang Cheng, gritting his teeth: \"We’re going inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of the Lin Family members looked terrible as they turned and entered their small three-room west wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Lin and Grandma Lin were also angry, but they still harbored hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simultaneously thought that today must have been too stimulating with Lin Chengyuan suddenly returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few days, they thought, they could coax Jiang Cheng back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, Jiang Cheng’s harsh words were all because she held resentment towards Lin Chengyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without love, where would the resentment come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheng Cheng, after all, we are one family, don’t be estranged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Lin wiped her eyes, trying to ease the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng pouted, truly the old are brainlessly naive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buried in the same grave is truly family; don’t find the wrong direction or there’ll be no chance to find one’s way back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Lin’s face instantly became extremely unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older one is, the more they fear these topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine, I’d like to see you live on your own!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng stood straight, speaking slowly: \"That may be tough, I’m young, you really might not see it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Cheng, don’t go too far!\" Lin Chengyuan glared at Jiang Cheng aggressively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng had really disappointed him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he married Dandan.
