Chen Erniu had intended to coldly tell her that he had survived the ordeal and returned alive!
But then he reconsidered, realizing that he couldn't let others know his senses had been restored just yet.
Otherwise, if word got to his sister-in-law, things would only become more difficult!
So, Chen Erniu could only continue to glare at Han Meili, his face full of rage.
"Bad woman! Chen Jianghe bullies people and even hits them!" he pretended to scold foolishly.
Hearing this, Han Meili also came back to her senses.
In her heart, she couldn't help cursing Chen Jianghe, that irresponsible man, solely focused on his pleasures, not even making sure whether Chen Erniu was dead or alive.
Now, Chen Erniu had returned.
And perhaps his affair with her had already been told to He Hongjuan by Chen Erniu?
Her eyes shifted, and suddenly she got up, not caring about her bare body, and stepped down from the kang, approaching Chen Erniu.
"Erniu, why the long face? I heard you've never touched a woman. Want to try what I taste like..."
As she spoke, she attempted to undress Chen Erniu.
Since Chen Erniu was a fool, Han Meili decided to give him a taste of a woman's pleasure.
That way, after coaxing Chen Erniu, she'd trick him into keeping quiet about her affair with Chen Jianghe.
But what she didn't know was that Chen Erniu was no longer that silly, foolish man.
Slap.
Faced with Han Meili who had closed in, Chen Erniu did not hesitate for a moment, his hand shot up, and he slapped her to the ground.
"Why... why did you hit me?" Han Meili asked, puzzled.
Chen Erniu's face was full of contempt, "Bad woman, sleeping with Chen Jianghe! Dirty! I will tell sister-in-law!"
It suddenly dawned on Han Meili that she was despised by Chen Erniu because she had slept with Chen Jianghe.
She couldn't believe she was being scorned by a fool.
Under normal circumstances, Han Meili would have cursed at him, pointing fingers and hurling insults.
But now, with Chen Erniu holding her secret, she had no choice but to hold her tongue and plead in a low voice.
She quickly suppressed her rage, climbing up to beg, "Brother Erniu, after all, we are family now, you absolutely must not tell anyone about me and Brother Jianghe. If worst comes to worst, I will return the 80,000-dowry money you gave me!"
At these words, with a glint in his eye, Chen Erniu focused sharply.
Wang Tian would come to collect his debt in five days. If the money wasn't ready, who knows what underhanded things he might do.
Since Han Meili was willing to cough up the dowry money, he should take it back before deciding what to do next!
"Return my family's money!" Chen Erniu spoke in a muffled tone.
Han Meili was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded, cursing inwardly, sure enough in this world everyone loves money, even a fool is no exception!
Looking at Chen Erniu's fierce and fiendish demeanor, she clenched her teeth and had no choice but to find Chen Jianghe to get the dowry money back.
After Han Meili left, Chen Erniu looked around at the festively decorated room and felt a sudden surge of anger.
He furiously rushed forward, tearing everything apart.
For Sanwa, his sister-in-law had carefully prepared so many things, not expecting that the woman brought back would be carrying another man's vile spawn!
If he had regained his senses earlier, he would have never allowed Han Meili, that vile woman, to marry into the Chen family.
He determined that after Han Meili returned the 80,000-dowry, he would find a good way to deal with this adulterous pair and avenge Sanwa!
Just then, He Hongjuan, who had finished preparing breakfast, came over, a look of confusion on her face.
She was ready to call Chen Erniu for breakfast but didn't expect to find him dismantling the house.
She rushed over to stop him, astonished, "Erniu, what are you doing? Why are you taking apart Sanwa's bridal chamber?"
Chen Erniu, still seething with rage but managing to keep his composure, declared, "Bad woman, sleep with Chen Jianghe, pregnant with a child!"
Although it was just a few short sentences, He Hongjuan understood his meaning and immediately became so angry she couldn't hold back her tears.
No wonder Han Meili always acted so self-important yet was willing to marry Sanwa, she had already hooked up with Chen Jianghe!
Considering Erniu's words, Han Meili must be carrying Chen Jianghe's child!
That's why she was so anxious to marry quickly, even unable to wait for Sanwa to return, insisting on Erniu taking her place during the wedding!
She did it to conceal the pregnancy!
Seeing He Hongjuan's heartbroken expression, Chen Erniu subconsciously reached out to wipe away her tears.
His warm, large hand brushed her cheek, and in that instant, He Hongjuan shuddered.
Looking up, He Hongjuan saw Chen Erniu's bare, muscular torso, his bronze skin shining dazzlingly in the sun.
