Chapter 195 Xie Zhiyan arrived, grasped Shu Ying's hand, and felt heartache.

Yangyang's eyes darted around, and thinking about the rotten vegetable leaves she had eaten yesterday, she felt even more dissatisfied.

“When my aunt buys vegetables, she always picks the cheapest ones, but they are never fresh. She deliberately picks the spoiled ones, but they can’t be eaten the next day. My mom is worried that my sister and I will get diarrhea if we eat them, so she has no choice but to throw them away.”

He tilted his round little head to the side, as if he was thinking seriously about something. "Although less fresh vegetables are cheaper, wouldn't it be a waste to buy them and not eat them?"

The child's innocent voice rang out a question, and the group of people present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Generally speaking, this doesn't necessarily mean Ding Rumei wanted to buy cheap vegetables. It's probably because those vegetables have more profit margin. Shu Ying gave her enough money, but she only spent a small amount on the vegetables, so the rest of the money naturally went into her own pocket.

Old Mrs. Du had truly experienced hardship. Back when the war was raging, they were constantly on the run and couldn't even get a full meal. Now, hearing that Ding Rumei was deliberately wasting food, she was even more furious.

"It's truly a tragedy. I don't know how your parents could have given birth to such a thing as you. There are still countless people in the mountains who are starving, while you live a life of plenty in the capital, wasting food. Your two children are at the age when they are growing up, and you deliberately buy rotten vegetable leaves to make more money for yourself. Don't you have any conscience?"

Shu Ying had turned a blind eye to the things that happened in the past, but now, looking at them one by one, she realized that Ding Rumei had been so terribly wrong.

When she slapped Ding Rumei, she felt her left cheek swell up rapidly. Her eardrums felt like they were being pierced by something, and she saw stars before her eyes, unable to see anything clearly. Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

“I didn’t want our relationship to get to this point, but you’ve provoked me time and time again. Do you really think I have no temper? You’re the one who wasted food, tried to hurt the child, and stole things. You’re the first truly heinous person I’ve ever met.”

Other people, if they have some personality flaws, can at least find some reasons for it, but Ding Rumei seems to be a truly wicked person.

Even though they had made so many concessions, she pretended not to see it.

Shu Ying struck hard, specifically targeting the most painful yet indestructible spots, and the only sound in the courtyard was Ding Rumei's occasional wailing and howling.

In front of so many people, Shu Ying felt relieved but couldn't really kill him, so she asked her neighbors to call the police.

Holding Yueyue and Yangyang, Li Qingqing still felt uneasy. "People like this should stay in prison peacefully for the rest of their lives and never come out to harm others again."

Ding Rumei had been beaten beyond recognition, but after hearing that someone had called the police, she not only didn't panic, but became even more arrogant.

“I’m Xie Zhiyan’s cousin. You’re just a capitalist’s daughter. You’ve dragged him down so many times. I’m doing this for his own good. Even if you send me to prison, Xie Zhiyan will definitely give me a letter of forgiveness. You still won’t be able to do anything about it then, will you? Shu Ying, you’re a complete scoundrel. Once I get the letter of forgiveness, the police won’t be able to arrest me. I’m going to call my aunt and expose your evil deeds to her.”

She laughed wildly, after all, Shu Ying was an outsider, and her family background was problematic.

Xie Wanying said that Xie Zhiyan had long been tired of Shu Ying, but since the two had a child together, he couldn't break off his relationship with Shu Ying even for the sake of the child.

She decided to go all the way and kick Shu Ying out of the Xie family. Xie Zhiyan would surely consider her his benefactor.

"Don't think you can rest easy just because you gave birth to two children for the Xie family. If it weren't for the fact that your family was decent, someone like you would never have been able to get on the scene. Now that your family is in trouble, you're the one who's eagerly bringing the children over. Do you really think Xie Zhiyan likes you that much? With your vixen-like appearance, you would have been cursed to death in our village long ago."

She was smug, feeling that she had finally gained the upper hand.

"Don't even mention that your two little bastards are completely fine. Even if I really killed them, the Xie family would only thank me for getting rid of their filth. They have capitalist blood in their veins, it's disgusting to even think about. I am a legitimate relative of the Xie family, and my thoughts and actions are naturally all for their good. Shu Ying, you don't think Xie Zhiyan is a fool in this position, do you?"

Women and future prospects are choices everyone knows how to make.

Xie Zhiyan was smart from a young age, and everyone praised him. However, they hadn't met much. But since they were related by blood, even if she did something outrageous, Xie Zhiyan wouldn't stand idly by.

After she finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent instantly. Song Zhaodi was the first to realize something was wrong. She looked in the direction of the crowd and saw a man dressed in casual clothes walking over quickly with a displeased expression.

Although they had never met before, Song Zhaodi knew at first glance that this person was Xie Zhiyan.

He exuded an aura of authority, a true veteran of life-and-death battles, and the imposing presence emanating from his very being left Ding Rumei speechless.

She was puzzled. After so many years, she hadn't expected Xie Zhiyan to have changed so much. He used to be shorter than her, but now, just standing here, she could barely speak.

Everyone had stopped, but Shu Ying didn't stop for a moment, and a slap landed on her face, making a clear sound.

Ding Rumei was already somewhat delirious from the beating. She was furious and didn't know how many times she had been hit by these people today. Her body was in excruciating pain, and her bones felt like they were about to fall apart.

Xie Zhiyan frowned deeply. He had heard every word Ding Rumei said when he came over, and was wondering which family this relative was.

When Huang Meiling left, she only mentioned that she was a distant cousin. If it weren't for the parting words she left behind, Xie Zhiyan would have thought she was some neighbor who had a grudge against Shu Ying.

He walked over quickly and saw that Shu Ying's hand was already red. She had some bruises on her left arm and wrist, and the skin was scraped and bleeding. However, the bleeding was not much, and her injury was easily overlooked in such a situation.

Xie Zhiyan grasped her wrist, a hint of heartache in his eyes.
