She Only Cares About Cultivation

An Yi shook her head, not wanting to say anything more; anyway, she had already covered every aspect in her words.

She dared to attract so much attention solely because her face was fake, her name was fake, and her acquired identity was fake too.

If anything really happens in the future, she could start anew elsewhere.

Before that, she just wanted to quietly raise her child.

"Teacher An, hold on, school is starting in a few days, and you can’t slip up at this time, I know you’ve been wronged..."

...

The rural areas have always been places where gossip spreads, and rumors can invisibly destroy lives. She looked down on those women revolving around men. Clearly, Northeast women are very assertive; why can’t the few she sees be like Hu Zi’s mother, confronting her and yelling at her?

The technology of this era doesn’t include DNA testing, so even if Hu Zi’s mother gave birth to her husband’s brother, nobody would acknowledge it, because Hu Zi obviously looks like one of their kind. Others might not know it, but she does, and it’s distinguishable at a glance, without needing proof.

This woman is so relentless, precisely because she’s certain she has no evidence, leading to such an intense reaction. Yet, if she has created public opinion, it’s almost like giving her a lesson. She can fabricate gossip around her, why can’t she resolutely take action against her?

Her husband can’t be considered infertile, just too weak to satisfy her. Unexpectedly, she ended up hooking up with her capable and assertive father-in-law. This woman, truly!!

Because it hit her sore spot and she was sure she had no evidence, Hu Zi’s mother chased her all the way to her doorstep, shouting all sorts of harsh words with her hands on her hips.

The look on her face, as if she really hadn’t done it. After soothing her child to sleep, An Yi placed him in the space, then opened the door and said one sentence, silencing the scene instantly.

"Because you, like your son, were born between your mom and grandfather, are you following that example? Do you really want me to make this public?"

An Yi raised her gaze with a seemingly mocking smile, looking down on the woman who was a few centimeters taller than her, with not a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

"It’s said that pitiable people must have their hateful points. Children are innocent, if possible, I don’t want it to be this way either. But you keep saying my child is adopted, why shouldn’t I fight back? Have you heard of ’A mother is strong’? Why do women trouble women? Is it because you can’t stand us living better than you? So you continuously come over to insult? What’s your mindset?"

"No, impossible, you can’t possibly know so much, how could you know so much?"

"I also know that before Hu Zi, you had two children, one of them is..."

"No, don’t say anymore, I was wrong, I really was wrong, I beg you, now I believe you really are capable. Rest assured, from now on I will keep my mouth shut, I won’t trouble you anymore, I beg you to let me go!"

Mentioning the two children earlier, this woman suddenly appeared devastated, quickly softened and no longer pretended to be so strong. An Yi cast her a cold glance, turned around, and went back inside: "This is a kind of pathological state, unable to stand others being better than themselves. If she’s not assertive enough, she would really be driven to death by her. Now with the roles reversed, she couldn’t take it either, proving some people just need to be put in their place. When it’s time to act, one absolutely cannot be weak, appropriately giving the opponent a heavy blow is very necessary!"

The villagers who originally awaited a spectacle now turned instinctively to look at An Yi after seeing Hu Zi’s mother leave in a dejected state. They tried to find clues from her to investigate what kind of deal the two had just reached, causing such a drastic change in Hu Zi’s mother?
