Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Admit Defeat Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Admit Defeat Wan Ruyan left in a disheartened state.
Wan Da’an, unwilling to accept his beloved sister Wan Ruyan being bullied by Gu Changshun, issued a threat before leaving, saying he would settle accounts with the Gu Family and that he would not easily forgive them.
Mrs. An felt that Wan Ruyan had brought the dunking in the pig cage upon herself, however, with Wan Da’an threatening to settle accounts with the Gu Family, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat anxious.
She sought out Gu Ya and his wife to discuss a solution, “Third son, third daughter-in-law, what should we do? Your brother-in-law said he’s going to seek retribution from our Gu Family?”
Mrs. An looked worried, but Su Yunjin appeared utterly unconcerned.
“Mother, don’t worry! The Wan Family, including Wan Da’an, wouldn’t dare come after us to settle accounts!” Wan Ruyan’s intentions were impure; she was not yet married but already trying to entice men.
This scandal has become public, and it’s not good for Wan Ruyan’s reputation either. If the Wan Family were wise, they would just keep their heads down and take their loss. Otherwise, if they really come to cause a scene here in the Gu Family village, far from gaining anything, they would become a laughingstock. It might not just be Wan Ruyan’s face they would lose, but the face of the whole Wan Family.
Not only did Su Yunjin think this way, but Gu Ya thought the same, “Mother, Yunjin is right, don’t worry! The Wan Family wouldn’t dare come after us for a reckoning.”
Mrs. An, looking at Su Yunjin and Gu Ya, felt some relief as her son and daughter-in-law were confident, easing her continuous worry.
Gu Ya added, “Mother, even if the Wan Family really comes to make trouble, we don’t have to be afraid of them. They have no shame, so what do we have to fear? Besides, this place is Gu Family village, on the Gu’s home ground. Could we possibly be afraid of the Wan Family here?”
Gu Ya’s legs were now significantly better; if the Wan Family dared to cause trouble, he had the ability to deal with them and protect his parents and young wife.
Su Yunjin and Gu Ya’s prediction were correct; indeed, the Wan Family did not dare to cause any commotion. With Wan Ruyan being the one who tried to seduce a man, the Wan Family couldn’t find a reason to confront the Gu Family.
Gu Hengniang and Wan Da’an escorted Wan Ruyan back. When Wan Ruyan’s parents learned of the incident at the Gu’s, they scolded Wan Ruyan first then vented their anger on Gu Hengniang.
Gu Hengniang knew she hadn’t watched over Wan Ruyan properly and had failed in her duty as a sister-in-law. When the Wan Family took their anger out on Gu Hengniang, she didn’t dare to retort and simply endured it.
Wan Da’an was a troublemaker who had always looked down on the Gu Family, and over time, he also started to scorn Gu Hengniang, regarding her with disdain and contempt.
Reminded of the bullying his sister had suffered, Wan Da’an’s anger flared, and he could not help but take it out on Gu Hengniang again.
Gu Hengniang felt aggrieved at the Wan Family, where she was often slighted.
In private, she secretly wiped away her tears numerous times.
Not reflecting on what she did wrong, Gu Hengniang instead blamed Su Yunjin, believing that half of the cause of the incident was due to Su Yunjin.
After seeing Mrs. An off, Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya and said, “Your sister will likely have to endure the Wan Family’s displeasure again once she’s back.”
With Wan Ruyan’s mishap,
The Wan Family couldn’t vent their anger on the Gu Family.
The only one left, Gu Hengniang, was at the Wan Family.
Already having a low status in the Wan Family due to not bearing a son, her return this time would surely result in the Wan Family taking out all their frustration on Gu Hengniang.
