In her previous life, Old Mrs. Ma dedicated her all to her children. Unexpectedly, her old man ran off with his ex-wife and their money after committing murder.
Her children then pressured he...
Ma Xiu Lan turned a deaf ear to them. In her previous life, when they bought a house, they asked her, their mother, to contribute money, but they didn't even provide her with a place to live.
They took me to their house to help with the work and arranged for me to sleep on a simple bed in the living room.
Old Lady Song held Jinbao in her arms and pulled Ma Xiulan into the room:
"Zhao Youcai is already in the hospital, so my mission is complete. Please give me the remaining eight dollars."
Ma Xiulan handed the money to Old Mrs. Song.
Old Mrs. Song happily took the money and started calculating in her mind that if the mother and daughter followed her home, Xingmin could help take care of Jinbao, and Xiulan, a chef, could also help with cooking.
He grinned, "You're divorced and you rented out your house. Where are you going to live? Why don't you bring Xingmin to live with me? I'll only charge you two three dollars a month in rent."
Ma Xiulan thought of the cramped living quarters at her mother's house, where there were no spare rooms, and she and Xingmin were forced to sleep on the floor in the dining room, charging her three dollars. She was sure that she would use the name of her elder to order her and Xingmin to work.
What a calculating person.
Direct refusal: "No."
Old Mrs. Song had no choice but to carry Jinbao home. Ma Xiulan had already packed her belongings and prepared to move, so there was no point for her to stay at the Zhao family.
When Zhao Xingmin got home from get off work, she found that her mother had already packed up everything, including pots and pans, clothes, benches, and bicycles. Nothing her mother had bought was left out.
As soon as the brothers Zhao Xingjia and Zhao Xingye entered the courtyard, they heard that their parents had divorced. Now they were dumbfounded when they saw the empty house.
"Mom, even if we're divorced, we still live here. You can't take everything with you."
Ma Xiulan glared: "I spent the money, I bought the things, why can't I take them away?"
Chen Zhenzhen complained to Zhao Xingjia: "It's not just the stuff, your mother rented half of the house to Aunt Li."
Zhao Xingjia didn't expect that Ma Xiulan would actually do such a thing.
He immediately started yelling, "Mom, even if you want to rent it out, shouldn't you consider renting it to us first? No, you can't rent this house."
Ma Xiulan snorted coldly: "I'll rent it to you, will you pay the rent?"
Zhao Xingjia was furious: "How can a mother ask her child for rent? You created me into this sickly state, don't you owe me that?"
It turned out that this was his true thought. I always owed him, so whatever I paid for him was what I deserved.
"I carried you for ten months, risking my own life to bring you into this world. You were frail and sickly, and if you had been born to cruel parents, they might have thrown you away, but I took good care of you and raised you.
So remember, I don't owe you anything.
Look at you, how many times a year do you get sick? You're a grown man now, but why are you pretending to be sickly every day? Who are you putting on an act for? Do you think you're acting?"
Zhao Xingjia's face turned red after being confronted.
Chen Zhenzhen poked Zhao Xingjia, but Zhao Xingjia didn't respond, so she had to do it herself.
"Then we pay the rent."
She wanted to stabilize Ma Xiu Lan first, so she gave her one month's rent. If she stopped paying later, Ma Xiu Lan wouldn't be able to do anything.
Ma Xiulan looked at Chen Zhenzhen and shook her head in disgust: "I won't rent it even if you offer rent, because I won't rent my house to animals."
Chen Zhenzhen was so angry that she almost jumped up, her voice piercing and sharp: "Xingjia, your mother called us beasts."
Zhao Xingjia's face was not looking good either: "Mom, why are you doing this? Zhenzhen's mother and brother have already been taught a lesson. Zhenzhen is so upset, and you are still scolding her."
Ma Xiu Lan slapped him, stopping Zhao Xingjia from saying any more unpleasant things.
The world is finally peaceful.
Aunt Li happened to come in to look at the house. Seeing this, she quickly stuffed four dollars and fifty cents into Ma Xiulan's hand:
"I've paid the rent. This house is mine."
"Xiu Lan, when you find a house to move out of, I'll move in."
"I'm moving now and will stay in a guesthouse for the time being."
I don't want to live with these people for even a second longer.
When Aunt Li saw that the second and fourth sons of the Zhao family had no intention of helping Ma Xiu Lan move things, she immediately called her two sons and three grandsons to help.
When Ma Xiulan moved, her two biological sons refused to help, which made everyone see the indifference of the two brothers Zhao Xingjia and Zhao Xingye.
The five men in the Li family helped move the things and finished the job in one trip.
Zhao Xingfeng came back in a daze. She and Song Qinghe begged Song's parents for a whole day and also told them about the baby in her belly.
However, she did not expect that the Song family's parents were so heartless that they asked her to abort the child, and then gave her 100 yuan for nutrition expenses and compensated her with a job.
She wanted to be the daughter-in-law of the deputy director, and this hundred yuan and the job were definitely not enough to make her happy.
Especially after she went to the Song family and saw the layout and food, she became more determined to marry into the Song family.
Now that the Song family doesn't want her, she can only tell this to her mother and ask her mother to help her solve it. As long as her mother goes to the Song family and speaks well of her, and agrees to give her more dowry and a thousand yuan.
And the third sister, didn't she save Song Qinghe's aunt? Let the third sister ask Song Qinghe's aunt to speak well of Song Qinghe's parents.
The Song family will definitely accept me.
As soon as she entered the house, she hurriedly shouted, "Mom!"
Zhao Xingye said with a bitter face: "Mom is not here. Mom and Dad divorced and moved out."
Zhao Xingfeng didn't expect that he would get divorced after just one day away?
So fast?
"Are you really divorced?"
"Don't you see how empty the house is? Mom has moved out everything that can be moved."
Zhao Xingfeng looked around and now believed it.
She stamped her feet, very angry: "Why are they so selfish? They divorced me just when I was about to get married! Where is my mother? I want to go find her."
Zhang Zhaodi said, "He said he was staying at a guesthouse. You can ask the Li family in the compound which guesthouse it is."
She hopes her sister-in-law can persuade her mother-in-law to come back. She is about to give birth and how can she do without her mother-in-law to take care of her?
"I heard today that Dad had a fight with someone outside. Mom's divorce was probably just an impulse. Please try to persuade her."
After asking the Li family, Zhao Xingfeng walked to the guesthouse two blocks away from his home and asked at the front desk. He learned that Ma Xiu Lan and Zhao Xingmin had gone out.
She couldn't bear to wait at the front desk, so she started looking along the street and soon saw Ma Xiu Lan and Zhao Xingmin coming out of the state-owned hotel.
The two men were talking and laughing, with a hint of alcohol on their faces.
Obviously very happy.
If conditions permit, Ma Xiulan even wants to set off firecrackers to celebrate and get rid of bad luck.
Zhao Xingfeng thought of his own misery and could not help but complain:
"Mom! Why do you want a divorce? I'm getting married soon. The Song family regretted this. You have to solve the problem you caused, and you have to compensate me."
