Chapter 2 She Respects the Elderly and Doesn't Cherish the Young

  • Holding the divorce contract in her hand, Man Yu was almost flying from happiness. She blew a kiss as she skipped out of the military district, feet almost setting off sparks. She was in an explosively good mood.
  • Three years! Three entire years!
  • After three whole years, she was finally free!
  • Man Yu stood on the footpath waiting for a taxi. The air had never felt so clean. Ah, this is the taste of freedom!
  • She only had the time to appreciate her new found freedom for a few seconds before an armored land cruiser roared past her, kicking up clouds of dust in its wake, blowing the hemline of Man Yu's dress with a gust of gravel.
  • After eating a mouthful of dust, she coughed and yelled, "Kou Yan! The divorce papers still haven't been filed yet!"
  • Man Yu angrily waved a fist at the land cruiser which had left a dust trail in its tracks. There was probably no couple in this world who were as happy as they were to divorce. This was because she knew would definitely succeed today.
  • Because Nie Suhuan was Kou Yan's biggest weakness, she was able to succeed in one go!
  • This little episode wasn't able to dampen Man Yu's good mood at all, so as she whistled happily while packing up her luggage at the Kou Family residence, she was a bit confused when her door was kicked open.
  • "Man Yu!" The arrogant voice didn't sound like the voice of a girl in her early twenties. Kou Mingzhu stood menacingly at the doorway with her hands on her hips, and shouted, "Where's my cake?!"
  • Cake?
  • "What cake?" Now that Man Yu was free, she finally no longer had to suffer this retarded girl's bullying in silence. She continued folding her clothes without lifting an eyelid. "If you want to eat cake, buy it yourself! I'm not going to waste my time lining up for you!"
  • "You!!" Kou Mingzhu's her baby face always looked really stupid when she got mad. She was really unhappy with Man Yu's attitude. She charged in, kicked over Man Yu's suitcase and said domineeringly, "How dare you speak to me that way?"
  • The neatly folded pile of clothes turned into a pile of mess. Man Yu's good mood popped like a balloon. Her gorgeous face instantly turned black.
  • "I just folded those. Do you know that I have OCD?" she said darkly, carefully enunciating every syllable.
  • "I don't care!" Kou Mingzhu yelled recklessly. This woman who crawled into the Kou Family actually dared to talk back to her? "Where did you go? Why didn't you buy cake for me?"
  • Man Yu ground her back molars. Besides Master Kou and Kou Yan, everyone else in the Kou Family was brainless. And this Kou Mingzhu, like the pun in her name, was truly her mother's bright pig.
  • She was just in her early twenties but she didn't go school and spent every day playing around everywhere while living off her parents. As Kou Mingzhu's mother gave birth to Kou Mingzhu when she was already old, she heavily doted on her, which was how she grew up to to be someone with such low intelligence.
  • "You're still eating cake even though you're already so fat?" Man Yu mocked, raising an eyebrow, "Look at your waist, it's almost as thick as the giant banyan tree in the courtyard. What? Are you trying to imitate it and live off roots and oxygen too?"
  • "You! You dare to call me fat?" Kou Mingzhu round little face flamed with anger. She glared at Man Yu in disbelief, "Say that again?!"
  • "So what if you're fat? No need to be so proud about it." Man Yu was filled with anger. She pointed at the mess on the floor. "Fold it all up!"
  • "You even dare to order me around?!" Kou Mingzhu was dumbfounded. She rolled up the sleeves of her puff-sleeved dress, flipped the suitcase over with her small hands, and kicked it twice, "Fold it yourself! You think you can boss me around!"
  • Kou Mingzhu was so mad, she started to throw a tantrum, jumping up and down. Whenever this brat got mad, she didn't pay attention to anything around her, so she didn't even notice that Man Yu's lovely face was slowly getting darker.
  • Before the divorce, Man Yu had endured over and over again, obeying the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. This jumping retard in front of her was final straw. She couldn't take it anymore!
  • "Hey you!" Man Yu pointed at Kou Mingzhu, and said icily, "Stop and apologize to me. This is your final chance!"
  • Kou Mingzhu paused. She almost burst out laughing. She kicked a shoe on the ground flying and quickly ran to the stairs, "Apologize to you! You wish-Ahhhhhhh!!!"
  • Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Man Yu raised a leg and kicked Kou Mingzhu down the stairs.
  • "Thud, thud, thud, thud--Bam!"
  • Kou Mingzhu's small round body was like a meat ball wearing a pink dress. It bounced down the staircase, rolling a good number of times before finally stopping at her mother's feet.
  • "Ahh! Have you gone insane?" Kou Mingzhu immediately started bawling. Her mother, who was standing next to her, was also dumbstruck. She hurriedly pulled her precious darling up from the ground and then saw that Kou Mingzhu's tumble had bruised her little face in many places.
  • Like a lit dynamite, Mrs. Kou sternly said, "Man Yu! Come down right now! Are you trying to rebel?!"
  • "Mingzhu, are you okay?" A familiar voice sounded from behind Mrs. Kou. The owner of the voice was carefully checking Kou Mingzhu for any other injuries.
  • Man Yu folded her arms, and from afar, spotted a beautifully and elegantly dressed Man Rong helping Kou Mingzhu examine her body. A cold smile unconsciously formed on Man Yu's lips.
  • Great, the entire cast is here!
  • Man Rong, Man Yu's half-sister from a different mother. A crafty person with tons of evil schemes. Man Yu had already been married to Kou Yan for three years, but Man Rong still sucked up to Kou Mingzhu and her mother. From the looks of it, a battle was unavoidable today!
  • Man Yu coldly curved her brilliant red lips and elegantly descended the stairs.
  • What is there to be afraid of? I'm a free person now. I'll beat them all up no matter how many of them come at me!
  • "You really have gone mad! Look at what you're wearing. Is this how a lady of a good family should be dressing?" Mrs. Kou scolded, pointing at Man Yu's nose, her face ashen, "What sin did our family commit to get a wanton woman like you as a daughter-in-law? You actually dared to hit Mingzhu?"
  • "Yes, I hit her. In the future, if she acts out of hand again, I'll do it again!" Man Yu didn't falter. She raised her voice, "Mrs. Kou, I recommend that you don't provoke me either. Look at what your own daughter has done first before speaking again!"
  • "You... You!" Mrs Kou was stupefied. Was this person still that obedient and stupid and cowardly daughter-in-law? "You think you're too great to call me mother now?!"
  • Man Yu smiled nastily, "You're going to have to get used it, I'm never calling you mother ever again!"
  • Kou Mingzhu trembled with anger as she rubbed her face. "You shameless whore!" she yelled and charged forward. She raised her small hand, ready to make contact.
  • Man Yu's face darkened. She nimbly caught the incoming arm, and violently slapped Kou Mingzhu's face with her other hand.
  • Crisp, loud and clear!
  • A red imprint of five fingers instantly formed on Kou Mingzhu's small face. She froze for a second, and then burst into tears.
  • "Man Yu, have you gone insane?!" Man Rong had never encountered a situation like this before. She was momentarily stunned, but after she recovered her senses, she quickly added fuel to the fire, "What are you doing?! You're ruining our family's name! What kind of daughter-in-law acts like this??"
  • Mrs Kou's face had turned deathly white from anger. "You... You! You shrew!" she yelled pointing at Man Yu's nose. She was so angry it took her a while before she managed to finish her words, "If you've got a problem, hit me!"
  • "I'm don't hit elderly people. I'm scared they'll scam me for compensation! I respect the elderly and don't cherish the young!" Man Yu was calm and composed. This was the first time in three years she had talked so eloquently. She said coldly and condescendingly, "I would like to officially inform you that Kou Yan has already signed the divorce papers. Starting from today, I have nothing to do with your family anymore!"
