Rebirth: Back To 1990s
Chapter 2 Courtesy
The implication in her mother-in-law's words hit Wendy like a thunderbolt. She turned pale and didn't know how to form words.
People in this family had been bullying her for years.
She had been retching because of a stomach illness, and there was nothing going on between her and Andy Wang. Wendy had never expected that her mother-in-law would entertain such a dirty thought.
Even though Celia didn't know Wendy well, her heart ached with pain. She couldn't bear to see her mother's humiliated face.
Immediately, she went forward and asked her mother to stand up. She didn't want her to kneel anymore. Fearlessly, she looked at her grandmother and her two aunts who seemed to be enjoying the scene. "You can insult me, but not my mother! I tell you, from now on, if anyone dares to insult my mother again, I won't spare them. I have faced death already so I am afraid of nothing. Besides, there is no way I am going to marry Harold. You all better get this idea out of your mind!"
Her grandmother, Lucy and Mary looked at Celia with astonishment. They didn't expect Celia was capable of answering back. Presently, Celia was like a whole new person.
But her grandmother was the most respectable person in the family. She couldn't tolerate such behavior here. Coldly, she replied, "The new semester will begin in half a month. If you can't marry him, then don't. I'll handle the matter with Li family. However, you will have to arrange the money for Wade's tuition. Besides, we don't support idle people. We were generous enough to have raised you and your mother for eighteen years. But from now on, you can move to the woodshed."
"Are you driving us away? Well, you can drive us away today. But I bet one day you will beg for us to be back!"
Celia spat out angrily. There was no fear in her voice. Everyone was shocked since this wasn't the reaction they had expected, including her mother. Wendy didn't expect Celia would make such a daring statement.
Grandmother, of course, was happy to use this opportunity to get rid of these two burdens. Once she understood they would leave without a fight, she offered to give them five kilograms of food.

shouldn't have been angry with grandma. Wade needs 500 dollars to go to school. Where can we earn that money? Moreover, the woodshed is dilapidated. On normal days, it is easy to survive there. However, if it is raining, our lives will be hard. I'm fine with living a hard life, but the thing is I don't want you to suffer with me." Wendy looked at Celia
Mom! Why do you still expect their mercy? After everything we have done for them, they still treat us like trash. We regard this place as a shelter from wind and rain, but this place gives us nothing but insults. I would rather live in a miserable condition than listen
