CHAPTER 98: CHAPTER 98: SETTLING

Sun Chan didn’t say anything—Guihua had helped her before, so she should help too. Besides, this woman was so shameless, she needed a good lesson!

Wang Dabao was initially furious seeing Zhao Hong getting beaten, but when he turned his head and saw the delicate and lovely Sun Chan, he was at a loss for words, hesitant to hit or scold her because she was so beautiful.

Someone tried to mediate, saying: "Let it go, Guihua! You’re husband and wife, why has it become like this?"

Guihua suddenly burst into tears: "Everyone saw it, huh? Bringing that little whore here to bully me, I can’t live like this! I can’t play dead inside here pushing me around, I’ve left with nothing and still can’t live well! I won’t live anymore!" She suddenly dashed towards the big wall behind her to ram into it.

Seeing Guihua about to commit suicide, everyone around cried out in alarm and rushed to stop her.

"Guihua, what are you doing?"

"Think it through! Don’t be foolish!"

The crowd managed to save Guihua amidst the chaos.

Sun Chan did not move this time, as she truly didn’t believe Guihua would go so far as to seek death. What a joke, with all the valuables in her hands, would she really die?

Not only Sun Chan thought this way, Wang Dabao felt the same. Both believed Guihua was too malicious; she took advantage of everything inside and still wanted to ruin my dignity outside!

Wang Dabao angrily shouted: "Stop pretending to be weak in front of everyone, you took all the valuables from the house and..."

"Spent all the money to buy a building for your fox spirit! You took the car, the business, and the village’s house plot! You said you’d leave me with nothing, and I agreed, yet you’re still not satisfied, bringing Zhao Hong over to push me to death?"

While she was talking, the sound of a tricycle came from outside, and Guihua listened to it, then immediately rushed out.

"Brother! Wang Dabao is bullying me to death!" she cried out in accusations.

"That bastard, ruined our sister’s life and now dares to be arrogant!"

Wang Dabao knew trouble was coming when he realized it was her brothers coming. He grabbed Zhao Hong and tried to flee outside, but it was too late. Four or five robust men surrounded them and beat them vigorously. Many people tried to intervene, yet Zhao Hong ended up beaten until her face looked like a pig’s head, crying out miserably. Wang Dabao kept screaming it was a misunderstanding, but nobody listened, the more he cried injustice, the fiercer they beat him.

"You brought this whore back just to anger my sister, you asked for it!"

Guihua stopped crying, asked the villagers for help loading things onto the vehicle, and didn’t even look at the battlefield over there.

"Let’s go." She said to the stunned Sun Chan.

Sun Chan was taken aback: "Ah?"

"These things, my brother will take directly back to my parents’ home. I’m not staying here anymore, heading straight to the city. If we delay, there won’t be a car." She pulled Sun Chan along without stopping.

"But aren’t you going to tell your brothers?"

"No need, I already told them before."

Sun Chan knew Guihua was decisive, but she didn’t expect her to be so straightforward, packing her bags, packing off her husband and the mistress, then leaving immediately without wasting a minute.

They jumped onto a vehicle leaving the village, sitting in the back of the carriage. The vehicle kept bouncing, while the scenery on either side sped past.

Guihua suddenly said: "All my kindness towards him these years was wasted, now I’ve finally understood that I’m just someone to be toyed with. From now on, I will live for myself."

She told Sun Chan she plans to settle down in the city and then bring her child there: "I must expand my business so I can provide for my child and vent some anger. Didn’t he always look down on me? I’m going to see who’s better at business! I’m about to open a hostel!"

Sun Chan said: "Sister Guihua, I know you’re a person with ideas, but you can’t act rashly in such matters. You have to take it slow, right? A business opened out of spite might not necessarily make money."

Guihua smiled and leaned against Sun Chan: "I know, I’m just angry. From now on, I’ll be alone."

She said this, then closed her eyes and started crying. No matter how astute a woman might be, being abandoned by her husband is a pain she can’t escape; Sun Chan understood her sorrow and let her lean on her shoulder, crying softly.

Sun Chan patted her shoulder lightly and whispered: "Don’t be like this, sister, try to see things differently."

After crying a while, Guihua felt better and mentioned the place to stay in the city. Originally, Guihua planned to stay in a hostel, but Sun Chan told her that she rented an apartment in the city and planned to sell fruits through Han Dong.

Guihua was a bit surprised, then smiled: "You sneaky one, you’re planning to start your own business quietly?"

Sun Chan laughed: "It’s just something small. Sister Guihua, temporarily stay with me. It’s not safe with the comings and goings at the hostel!"

"Alright, I’ll trouble you then."

"There’s no need to thank me." Sun Chan felt happy to be able to help Sister Guihua and felt a sense of fulfillment.

Meanwhile, Wang Dabao and Zhao Hong were beaten up by Guihua’s brothers and driven out of the village.

Luckily, they ran quickly, only the car’s windows were smashed, otherwise, the damage would’ve been worse.

Zhao Hong sat in the back seat crying, while Wang Dabao felt irritated.

He didn’t expect this woman to be so ruthless. Who knew she had such a scheme? Transferring all that money wasn’t something done overnight; she must’ve started back when she was pregnant!

Looking again at the pig-headed Zhao Hong beside him confused him further—was dealing with this really worth losing all help in future business?

Zhao Hong stayed quiet, seeing his expression turned bad; if she complained, he’d probably throw her out.

Resentment brewed in Wang Dabao’s heart, he couldn’t let her take the family’s money and just leave!

They went to the rental house, finding it equipped with basic kitchenware left by the previous tenants. They bought the missing items like oil, salt, soy sauce, etc., in one trip.

Guihua spent money on new blankets and mattresses. Sun Chan found it extravagant, as ordinary families lived frugally, they typically bought fabric and cotton to make their own.

"I can’t live in your home for free, consider this my welcoming gift." Guihua patted Sun Chan’s hand, stopping her from saying more.

Sun Chan didn’t want to argue anymore, and just complied, as both fetched and cleaned the items together, despite the exhaustion, their hearts felt relieved.

One felt reborn after finally divorcing, and the other had a small place of their own in X City.
