Chapter 788: Chapter 788: Substitute Bride Sister 3

"Yuan Chun, sister is begging you, sister is kneeling down to beg you, can you please take me in? I’m really at the end of my rope, sob sob, Yuan Chun, I’ll work like a horse or an ox for you all my life, please give me a way out." Li Hongchun said, genuinely about to kneel.

Yuan Chun crossed her arms, leaned on the sofa, and looked at her expressionlessly.

Li Hongchun noticed her indifference, not even bothering to stop her. Her crying abruptly halted, and she glared at her resentfully, "Yuan Chun, are you really going to be this heartless?"

Yuan Chun spoke, "Sister, my home is so small, there’s no place for you to stay. You should go back to Tufang Village."

The original owner really loved a cozy little home. Even though Meng Fei made money, she didn’t buy a big house, just a small courtyard with only three tile-roofed rooms.

She and Meng Fei lived in one room, their two sons in another, and the other was a living room.

In the past life, after the original owner took Li Hongchun in, she intended for Li Hongchun to make a floor bed in the sons’ room, but Li Hongchun insisted on staying in the living room.

When Meng Fei got up at night to go to the toilet, Li Hongchun heard the noise and deliberately kicked off her quilt, exposing her white legs.

Sometimes, she deliberately unbuttoned her blouse to show some skin and lay there sprawled out like she was afraid people wouldn’t see.

The original owner was unaware of all this, Yuan Chun found out through the narrative of the world.

After it happened two or three times, Meng Fei was so scared he wouldn’t get up at night anymore and kept urging the original owner to get a big house, so Li Hongchun could have a room of her own.

"Yuan Chun, do you really not want to take me in?" Li Hongchun’s tears fell like a faucet turning on, "Yuan Chun, you can’t be heartless. Back then, if it weren’t for me giving Meng Fei to you, you wouldn’t have the good life you have today, you..."

"Sister, aren’t you mistaken?" Yuan Chun interrupted her coldly, "Back then, it was clearly you who fell in love with Wu Hongwei first, didn’t want to marry Meng Fei, and feared being scolded by Grandpa, so you begged me to marry Meng Fei."

"Clearly, you looked down on Meng Fei and abandoned him. How come you’re acting like you gave Meng Fei to me, making it sound like I snatched him from you? Sister, you can’t slander me. You might not care about your reputation, but I still care about mine."

Li Hongchun’s face seemed like it was stripped of a layer of shame, turning red then green. She lashed out angrily, "But if I hadn’t refused to marry Meng Fei back then, you couldn’t have married him."

"Indeed, sister, the man you didn’t want, the man you abandoned, I married him. But I owe you nothing." Yuan Chun said expressionlessly, "I still remember how you cried and begged me for help back then, so it was you who owed me, not the other way around."

Yuan Chun paused and continued, "Moreover, sister, you living in my house as a divorced woman would hurt my reputation. You should go back to Tufang Village. Mom and Dad will definitely take you in. If you don’t want to live at your parents’ place, the house in our village is still empty, I’ll lend it to you."

"My courtyard is large, with over an acre of land front and back. You can grow some crops and vegetables for yourself. If you think the land isn’t enough, the land the village allocated to me is all farmed by Mom and Dad, and you can ask them to give you an acre from my land. With two acres, it’ll be enough for you to eat, and any extra grain can be sold for money to buy salt."

"Yuan Chun, how can a woman like me go back home to farm? I haven’t done farm work for eight years, I don’t know how to anymore. Yuan Chun, sister begs you, please, please take me in. I promise I won’t just freeload at your place. I’ll be a nanny, I won’t ask for any salary, as long as you give me something to eat." Li Hongchun wiped her tears, crying heartbreakingly, "Yuan Chun, just take pity on your sister and save her life."
