Upon waking up, Lin Xiangyi realized she had transmigrated into a period novel written by her stepsister. Her stepsister was the protagonist, and she was the villainous female supporting character....
No matter what, Brother Xie and Sun Lanjun have reconciled.
Time soon came to the day when Zhang Pengfei moved into his new home.
Xie's mother went out to show off early in the morning -
After Li Zhiming came to make trouble, Zhang Pengfei's reputation in the village obviously improved a lot.
But many of them were just opportunists. Xie's mother wanted to let them see how well Zhang Pengfei was doing now and how good he was to them, so that those who had hurt him in the past and had not repented would feel heartbroken and regretful!
So, when Lin Xiangyi packed up and came out to find Xie's mother, she saw Lu's mother surrounded by a group of people, pretending to be pretentious and boasting:
"...Yes, the house that our Pengfei bought in the county town has been renovated and he has moved in. Today he invited our family and his girlfriend's family to dinner..."
"...I didn't teach him, he brought it up himself! I feel so moved, it's really rare for a child who has no father or mother to be so polite!"
"...No, no, no, we are not as good to him as he is to us. He even reserved a room for me, his godfather, Qingxiao and Xiangyi! Such a filial child, our family is lucky enough to have found a treasure!"
Lin Xiangyi: “…”
She glanced at Zhang's mother, who was being forcibly dragged by a woman who was on good terms with Xie's mother to listen to Xie's mother's "bragging".
Zhang's mother had her hands held up and had given up resisting. Her face was dark, gloomy, and looked particularly aggrieved and as if she wanted to cry.
Lin Xiangyi really wanted to laugh.
After Xie's mother finished boasting, she walked over and said, "Mom."
After showing off, Xie's mother looked at the envious expressions of the crowd and the indignant and tearful expression of Zhang's mother, and she felt very satisfied and contented.
Seeing Lin Xiangyi coming, he immediately squeezed out of the crowd: "Xiangyi, are you done packing? Then let's go quickly? Where are the old man and Axiao?"
Lin Xiangyi: "Dad went to the toilet. Xiao went to the workshop to get something. We will wait for a while."
"Going to the toilet again, this old man is really wasting time," Xie's mother complained.
When the women saw that Xie's mother stopped talking, they let Zhang's mother go.
As soon as Zhang's mother was free, she ran away as if a dog was chasing her.
Everyone's attention was focused on Lin Xiangyi and Xie's mother.
Today is a good day, so of course the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should dress festively.
Both of them were wearing new clothes and they stood out very much when standing together.
Mother Lu was also among them. She rolled her eyes at how smug Mother Xie was just now. Now that Lin Xiangyi's arrival had made Mother Xie even more conspicuous, she couldn't help but sneer:
"Oh, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are wearing really festive clothes today? Zhang Pengfei is so nice to you, didn't Zhang Pengfei buy it for you?"
But after she finished speaking, she regretted it so much that she wanted to slap herself.
Bah, why are you talking so fast? Even if Zhang Pengfei didn't buy the clothes for them, they were still wearing new clothes. She just gave them a chance to show off!
Sure enough, Xie's mother started to show off again, glancing at Lu's mother and saying, "Although this new dress was not bought by Pengfei, it was bought for me by my youngest son and daughter-in-law. How come your youngest son and daughter-in-law didn't buy one for you?"
These words accidentally touched Lu's mother's heart.
Lu Dingyuan and Lin Huihui rarely came back recently. Even if she went to the county town to find them, their attitude was quite cold.
Especially Lin Huihui, who is no longer the same as when she first got married. She always pretends to obey her but actually says one thing in public and another in private.
She complained to Lu Dingyuan, but Lu Dingyuan still protected Lin Huihui.
Mother Lu felt that her son was completely bewitched by Lin Huihui, just like Xie Qingxiao was bewitched by Lin Xiangyi.
Although Xie Qingxiao protected Lin Xiangyi, at least their lives were getting better and better.
However, Lu Dingyuan and Lin Huihui's lives were getting worse and worse. According to their neighbors, they were always quarreling.
The neighbors can't hear what the noise is about.
Lu's mother wanted to find Lin Huihui to ask clearly, but she couldn't catch Lin Huihui, and Lu Dingyuan was also vague.
Mother Lu was almost mad to death, and tried to stab Mother Xie from somewhere else: "Your youngest son and daughter-in-law bought you clothes, I wonder if your eldest daughter-in-law bought any for you?"
It is well known that Sun Lanjun has a bad relationship with Xie's mother.
Especially a few months ago, Sun Lanjun was kicked out of the Xie family, and then returned to the county town alone and has not come back until now, which has caused a lot of discussion.
When talking about Sun Lanjun, Xie's mother was not afraid: "Why, your younger son and daughter-in-law didn't buy it for you, but your older son and daughter-in-law bought it for you?"
Mother Lu: “…”
She finally realized how stupid the topic she had started was, and she turned around and left with a gloomy face.
"With this fighting ability, you still want to laugh at me? Bah!" Xie's mother spat.
"Mom, you are this!" Lin Xiangyi gave Xie's mother a thumbs up.
Mother Xie had a completely different look when facing Lin Xiangyi. She smiled awkwardly and said, "This old lady's fighting ability is getting worse and worse. I don't even feel good when I win."
Lin Xiangyi: "...You are not modest at all now.
Others were amused by Xie's mother. One said, "It's not that her fighting ability is getting worse. I heard that she was frustrated by her son and daughter-in-law. She wanted to ask them for money, but she didn't get it. So she felt that she was behind you and couldn't compete with you."
Lin Xiangyi: "Lu Dingyuan and Lin Huihui?"
"Isn't it these two? They are the only ones who have salaries and they earn them themselves. Her other sons are all in the village, and all their earnings will be confiscated."
"Hey, let's just say that Lin Huihui is not a good person, right? The Lu family always brags about how filial and hardworking Lin Huihui is... these are all fake! They also say that the housework is good and there is a salary, but what's the use of that? I haven't even seen any of it given to the old couple of the Lu family!"
…
Lin Xiangyi listened to everyone's discussion and nodded without surprise.
Given Lin Huihui's personality, she might have pretended a little when she first got married.
After being married for so long, how could it be possible that Lu Dingyuan would still use his salary to subsidize the entire Lu family?
Of course, this is not necessarily the reason.
"We may need to help her mother, but we naturally won't be able to come up with the money," said Lin Xiangyi.
Her words were a bit surprising: "Xiangyi, what do you mean by that?"
Isn't Lin Huihui's mother Lin Xiangyi's stepmother? She is married to Lin Xiangyi's father. Her father is the director of the meat processing factory. How can a director be short of money? Isn't it said that their family conditions are quite good?
Lin Xiangyi noticed that others were looking at her strangely, and at first she didn't understand why.
The next second he reacted and said, “My dad and her mom are divorced.
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing thousands of waves.
"Your father is divorced from Lin Huihui's mother?"
"Um."
"Why?"
"Why did they get divorced when everything was fine?"
"When did it happen?"
Everyone started asking questions at once.
"We're divorced anyway, so don't bother talking about other things..." Xie's mother spoke.
