CHAPTER 212: CHAPTER 212: TRIED TO BLACKMAIL, ENDED UP WARNED

Not wanting to waste time with her here, he warned, "If you don’t step aside, don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson."

Yao Hui snapped, "I’m doing this for your own good, don’t ignore a kind heart."

Just as she finished speaking, Yu Xinyan kicked her to the side. Yao Hui was unprepared and fell directly to the ground.

The few people secretly listening on the roof were startled and all retracted their heads, thinking: Better not provoke Yu Xinyan, she’s terrifying.

At the corner, in the Miao Family, the house was already built. Due to lack of money to buy tiles, coal ash and lime were mixed for the roof, which was great for autumn as it could be used to dry things on.

These days, several children in the house loved to climb onto the roof to watch people come and go, and unexpectedly saw this scene.

Yao Hui landed hard directly on her butt, hurting herself. Seeing Yu Xinyan was about to leave, she rolled her eyes and clutched her stomach, shouting, "My stomach hurts, my child, Yu Xinyan, you wicked woman."

Yu Xinyan initially didn’t want to pay attention to her but stopped upon hearing these words.

At first, Yao Hui thought Yu Xinyan was scared, "If anything happens to the child in my stomach, I won’t let you off."

Yu Xinyan replied with a playful face, "Then I’ll call a doctor right now. If you got pregnant before marriage, it would only make people look down on you more. If there’s no baby in your stomach, it just shows what kind of person you are, willing to stoop to anything for money, your character is really low."

The children on the roof were confused; despite Yu Xinyan speaking for a long time, she never mentioned what to do if there was a baby and it got hurt from the fall.

Yao Hui was also bewildered by her words, thinking: Could it be she knows I’m not pregnant?

Yu Xinyan had no time to waste with her here and warned coldly, "You know whether you’re pregnant or not. If you’re trying to extort me, you better show some evidence. If you really have a baby in your belly, that would really be a surprise.

I warn you, don’t come to disgust me again. If there’s a next time, I’ll go to the third workshop to find Lyu Juncheng and ask him in front of all the workers if he can’t even support his wife."

Saying this, she turned to go home.

Yao Hui was so scared by the warning that she forgot to cry out. It wasn’t until Yu Xinyan left that she reacted, angrily clenching her fist and pounding it on the ground, gritting her teeth, "Yu Xinyan, you dare threaten me?"

Her actions amused the children on the roof.

Yao Hui heard the laughter, her face flushed with anger, and she got up from the ground and ran home, feeling utterly humiliated.

Thinking it was so early no one would see, she never anticipated that there were people on the roof.

The few children couldn’t keep the secret and told their families when they got down from the roof. The Miao Family sister-in-law, being a gossip lover, couldn’t stay home after hearing such explosive news.

She grabbed a bowl and headed out the door.

In no time, Yao Hui had tried to coerce Yu Xinyan into lending her money and got kicked to the ground, pretending to be pregnant to extort Yu Xinyan, who immediately saw through her and threatened to expose her at the third workshop.

It took only a breakfast’s time for the news to spread through half of the residential compound.

When the news got out, Yao Hui became the public enemy of the ladies who previously tried to scheme against Yu Xinyan. They spared no effort to tarnish Yao Hui’s reputation, and by noon, Yao Hui was once again infamous, but that’s another story.

Yu Xinyan was unaware of what happened after she left.

Back home, she closed the door, took out a fish from the space, and cooked a large pot of fish porridge, leaving some for breakfast and storing the rest in the space for later.

She prepared a cucumber salad, also from the space, and closed her door to prevent anyone from coming in uninvited. It would be hard to explain, as the cucumbers in the field wouldn’t be ready to pick for several days.

As for whether Yao Hui would shamelessly come again, she didn’t care. If trouble comes her way, she’ll serve it right back, like avenging her past life.

After eating and tidying up, she locked the door and headed out.
