Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1382 - 1401 Retribution

Chapter 1382: Chapter 1401 Retribution

"Just drop dead with that thought," Jiang Meili berated with her hands on her hips, her words extremely unpleasant to hear, "You and your sorry ass still want to take advantage of my niece. Take a good look at yourself in the mirror; I’m warning you, Jiang Dechun has finally moved on from the past, so if you dare do anything beastly again, don’t blame me for turning against you."

Wang Dalì sneered, "I don’t recall you ever protecting Jiang Zhuanzhuan before, so now you’ve had a change of heart?"

"It’s all the same. Why would I have sucked up to Jiang Dechun when he was as poor as a ghost back then? Now that he’s made money, of course, I’m going to cling to him – it’s all about the cash."

As the two were talking, they didn’t notice when the room’s door opened, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, startling Jiang Meili.

"When did the door open?"

"How would I know," Wang Dalì wrapped the quilt tighter around himself and urged, "Hurry up and check it out. Don’t stand in the way, you old nuisance."

Wang Dalì also had a period when he was young that he was fond of Jiang Meili, who was indeed very beautiful in her youth, famously so throughout Eighteen Mile Village. When Wang Dalì eloped with Jiang Meili, many were secretly envious, giving him a long-term smugness. However, after getting together, one was lazy and selfish, keen on taking advantage of others, while the other was a despicable good-for-nothing. The conflicts between them soon escalated without end, and Wang Dalì was indiscriminate in his indulgences outside the home.

Now that Jiang Meili has aged, Wang Dalì was even more disgusted with her. If not for the Jiang Family having made money, he would have kicked Jiang Meili out long ago.

"You go! Why should I? It’d freeze me to death," Jiang Meili was no pushover either, and she knew exactly what kind of person Wang Dalì was. She kicked him to the ground and retorted, "Roll! You dare to kick me? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you?"

"You dare, you believe I won’t poison you to death with a bowl of rat poison?" Jiang Meili stood up, agitated, "I cursed my fate for marrying you, such a poor character, I must’ve been blind. I’m telling you, I’ve long wanted to end this marriage, and I’ll divorce you tomorrow. After the divorce, I’m returning to my parental home."

Previously, Jiang Meili wasn’t so bold, partly because no one in her natal family welcomed her, nor did anyone stand up for her. Additionally, she despised her impoverished natal family and knew that life wouldn’t be easy after divorce.

But now things were different. Jiang Dechun had become wealthy, and she had been worrying about how to take advantage of the opportunity to return to her natal home! Now that the perfect excuse had come along, as long as she divorced Wang Dalì, she could go back to her natal home without reproach.

Even that old hag at home would never be able to get rid of her, and she could provide for herself and Yun Yun for the rest of their lives.

Upon hearing about the divorce, Wang Dalì also became anxious. Given his own lazy nature and inability to make money, he had been relying on Jiang Meili to bring home something from her natal family!

"I’ll go, okay? Is that not good enough?" Wang Dalì braced himself against the cold and walked out, only to be frightened half to death by a tall shadow entering from the outside.

"Who’s there? Who are you?" Wang Dalì shuddered with fear. In the countryside, during the idle winter, thefts become more frequent. But he himself was a well-known thief throughout Qi Li Town, famous among his peers. Had someone so foolishly decided to rob his home?

In the darkness, a flash of a shiny knife blade suddenly glinted.

"A thief? There’s a thief..." Wang Dalì hastily tried to call for help, but the other person was faster, grabbing him by the throat immediately, and before he could resist, a sharp knife was pressed against his neck.
