Famine Years and Fleeing: After Reincarnating as a Farmhouse Mother-in-Law, I Became Amazing

Liang Shuyan was reborn as the mother of a group of children. Being a mother was one thing, but she also happened to be in the midst of a famine. With originally precarious meals and the added hard...

Chapter 263 The Wicked Mother-in-Law

Through the wall, they could hear Aunt Liu cursing, "You little slut, I'm your mother-in-law, how could you do such a thing?"

It was Jiang who spoke. Jiang was holding a stick and stepped forward to hit Yinxia. Yinxia was crying and sobbing, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were torn to shreds.

"What's going on? You chased after my daughter and started hitting her as soon as you walked in the door. What did my daughter Yinxia do wrong that you, her mother-in-law, chased her all the way to my house?"

Jiang said angrily, "You still have the nerve to say these things to me now? Your Yinxia actually stole all the money in the house and gave it to others. Moreover, she was flirting with other people while my son was not at home. I would beat her to death!"

After Jiang finished speaking, she raised the thing in her hand and stepped forward to hit Yinxia, ​​but was grabbed by Aunt Liu and punched her: "You beast, you came to my house and you are still so arrogant. Do you really think the Liu family has no one left, or what?"

Yinxia buried her head in her hands and started crying: "Mom, I don't have any. What money could we possibly have at home? My mother-in-law is just talking nonsense. Fatty works outside and doesn't give me a single penny of his earnings. We don't even have anything to eat at home. My mother-in-law even said I don't cook. What am I supposed to cook?"

Aunt Liu knew that Yinxia did all the housework at home and would never do such an immoral thing. Didn't she know what kind of nature her own daughter was?

When the villagers heard the news, they all came to Aunt Liu's house, wanting to see what Yinxia had done to be chased here by her mother-in-law.

"You're talking nonsense! How could there be no food at home? It's obvious that you're busy having an affair all day and don't want to cook for us at all. You're still trying to argue. After coming to our house, you've been too lazy to do anything. Do you really think the Li family are fools?"

Li Zheng knew what was going on and strode over to Jiang Shi, snatching the things from her hands: "Jiang Shi, everyone knows what's going on, yet you still try to argue here. Fatty isn't here, and you're already mistreating Yin Xia like this. No matter what, Yin Xia is an obedient girl. Why can't you treat her? Think about how your mother-in-law treats you, and now you're saying such things to your daughter-in-law. Are you even human?"

"Hmph, aren't you just siding with Yinxia? You're all in cahoots, so don't you think it's a bit foolish of you to say these things to me now? Let me tell you, Jinxia is just a used woman, and your family treats her like a treasure. Our Li family won't support a freeloader!"

Seeing Yinxia's state, Liang Shuyan couldn't bear it any longer. She looked at Jiang Shi, grabbed her collar, and said, "Do you really think you're something special? You should know that Yinxia is pregnant. How can you, as her mother-in-law, treat your daughter-in-law like this? Are you even human?"

When Qiu Dong learned of this news, she hurriedly followed Jin Xia to Aunt Liu's house. Aunt Liu sneered, "Let your son come. We'll get a divorce. Yin Xia doesn't necessarily have to serve you Li family bastards. Let's get a divorce while Li Zheng and everyone else are here!"

Upon hearing about divorce, Madam Jiang exclaimed, "Impossible! You've already spent all our dowry money, and now you want a divorce? How come you always get all the good things? Besides, my son isn't here yet, so I can't make this decision!"

Upon hearing about the divorce, Yinxia sat down on the ground in despair and burst into tears, crying, "If I had known it would turn out like this, I would rather have killed myself than do this! Now, what am I going to do?"

Liang Shuyan understood that Yinxia meant, "I'm pregnant now, what will I do after the divorce?"

Jinxia stepped forward, grabbed Yinxia, ​​and they embraced each other, bursting into tears.

Qiu Dong said fiercely, "Are you even human? Our Yinxia married into your family, and you treat her like this. Look at her body, she's been beaten like this. She still doesn't want a divorce. You're the one who beats and scolds her, and you're the one who doesn't want a divorce. How come you get to decide everything? Dad, I'll make the decision. Divorce!"

Surprisingly, not a single person in the village sided with Jiang. Upon hearing this, Jiang immediately shouted, "Impossible! Unless you return our betrothal gifts, and also, the child in Yinxia's belly belongs to our Li family. We absolutely cannot let your family benefit from it!"

Aunt Liu was so angry that she stepped forward to tear at Yinxia, ​​but Liang Shuyan stopped her: "Forget it, why bother hitting such a person? Since she wants the child and the dowry, let's plan this properly today. After beating Yinxia like this, should we go to the government office and file a complaint? Let's deal with this matter first!"

Because of Liang Shuyan's status as a lady, no one in the village dared to disrespect her. Upon hearing this, Jiang said, "Lady Cha, how can you meddle in this matter? No matter what, Yinxia has little to do with your Sanwang anymore. Why do you bother with such trivial matters?"

"Since you've already spoken, how can I ignore it? Besides, I'm speaking from a moral standpoint. Yinxia is pregnant, and you've still beaten and tormented her like this. How can I not care? Anyway, we can't get to the bottom of this here. Why don't we go to the government office and clarify things? Also, Fatty, as Yinxia's husband, is abusing his wife. It seems he needs to be disciplined. By the way, I remember that the laws of our Great Zhou state that abusing one's wife results in a sentence of more than three years!"

Li Zheng coughed twice and continued, "I know that once Fatty is in prison, it will be difficult for him to get married again. And you still want your child back? Jiang, what kind of wishful thinking are you having?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang looked at Li Zheng with both eyes: "What? You want my Fatty to go to jail? I don't want that! Why are you doing this to us, a widow and her child?"

"What, you think Fatty is your son and you feel sorry for him, but what about Yinxia? She's not your child, so you're going to mistreat her?"

Liang Shuyan snorted coldly, then said, "Fine, we can keep Fatty from going to jail, as long as we can get Fatty here and get him to sign the divorce papers!"

Fatty is quite good to Yinxia. Now that Fatty is not at home, if he comes back, he definitely won't easily agree to a divorce. Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi casually said, "Can't I sign the divorce papers on behalf of my son?"

"Nonsense! A divorce agreement is a matter between husband and wife. What does it have to do with you, the mother-in-law? You are utterly foolish!"

Jiang blushed, seemingly regretting her decision. She looked at Yinxia and asked, "Yinxia, ​​do you really want to divorce Pangdan?"
