Little Sister-in-law uses her late husband's pension, dresses gorgeously, brings three emaciated children back to her natal home for meals.
Yet she still looks down on the younger brother...
Qi Zhijun paced around Wei Shuqing all morning like an ant on a hot pan, only to find that Wei Shuqing remained calm. Before leaving, he said, "Shuqing, this was my fault. I will definitely be more careful in the future. I'm sorry."
Seeing that Wei Shuqing ignored him, he sighed, walked to the door, then turned back and said, "There are old people and young children at home. If there's anything, wait until I get back to talk to them. You can hit me or scold me about this, but don't make things difficult for them. Okay, I've already told them that they should try not to come here in the future, so they won't get in your way."
Wei Shuqing remained silent. After Qi Zhijun left, Wei Shuqing sent her child to kindergarten and asked the teacher to look after him. Then she went home and took a nap. When she figured it was about time, she went to the Qi family's old house. As soon as she entered, she heard Wang Dong and the others shouting, "It's cornbread and pickled vegetables again. I'm so sick of it."
Mother Qi sighed and said, "It's good enough that we can eat this much. In a couple of days, we won't even have cornbread."
With a bang, Wei Shuqing pushed the door open. Qi's parents were taken aback. Looking at Wei Shuqing, who looked like a stern-faced gatekeeper, the three children put down the cornbread they were holding. Qi's mother forced a smile and said, "Little Wei is here. Have you eaten?"
Wei Shuqing looked at Qi's mother with a cold smile and remained silent. Qi's father said, "Yesterday we saw Aiguo's injury, and Zhifang also gave the child a lecture. I'm sorry for this! I'll have the child apologize to you later."
Wei Shuqing walked over and sat down, saying, "Don't turn around! Let's do it now!" She glanced at Wang Dong and the others and said, "I haven't seen any of them well-educated, yet they can still eat and drink! You three little beasts can also eat."
Mother Qi frowned and said, "Xiao Wei, don't speak so harshly. These are all your nephews!"
Wei Shuqing changed her posture and said, "I can't afford such a vicious nephew. He's so young and already knows how to beat and kill people! Tsk tsk tsk, when he grows up he'll be in jail and facing execution!"
Wang Dong retorted, his neck stiff, "You vicious villain, you're the one who's going to jail and getting shot!"
Wang Fang chimed in, "Old and ugly, you eat alone and poop black, your intestines are rotten and your heart is black, no one will bury you when you die!"
Wei Shuqing looked at Qi's parents, who were bowing their heads and remaining silent, with a cold smile and said, "What excellent upbringing."
Wang Dong rushed forward and tried to bump into Wei Shuqing again, but Wei Shuqing dodged, and Wang Dong crashed into the table. He cried out and covered his head, blood flowing from between his fingers. Wang Fang was furious and, along with Wang Hong, stepped forward to hit Wei Shuqing.
Qi's parents shouted for Wang Dong and rushed over. Wei Shuqing slapped the two girls several times, knocking them to the ground and making them cry loudly. Wei Shuqing was not satisfied. She pulled out a feather duster and slapped them a few more times. Qi's father clutched his heart in pain and pointed at Wei Shuqing. Wei Shuqing coldly said, "Did this hit your heart? You were unmoved when your daughter-in-law miscarried, and you were unmoved when your own grandson was beaten like that. But with these little beasts, they would act like they're going to die. It's disgusting."
She turned to leave, then stopped. The three children were still cowering, their hands covering their heads. Wei Shuqing chuckled and walked away.
Qi's mother cried, "Old man, don't scare me like that, what's wrong with you?"
Mr. Qi shook his head and said, "I'm fine. You take Dongdong to the hospital to treat his wound."
With tears in her eyes, Qi's mother helped Wang Dong up and took him to the hospital. Qi's father, enduring the pain in his chest, lay on his side in bed and fell asleep.
Wang Fang and Wang Hong, sobbing and enduring the pain, ate their cornbread. When Qi Zhifang returned, she saw her daughter's face covered in tears and asked, "What happened?"
Wang Fang burst into tears, "Mom, why are you only coming back now? My aunt broke my brother's head, Grandma took him to the hospital, Grandpa isn't feeling well, he's taking medicine and lying down. She even hit us!" As she spoke, she pulled up her sleeves, and Qi Zhifang quickly lifted them to see streaks of blood. She trembled with anger. Thinking of her father, she rushed into the house and was shocked to see his face covered in bruises. Just then, Wang Dong and Qi's mother returned, and Qi Zhifang ran out, saying, "Mom, Dad's not right, we need to get him to the hospital right away."
The family frantically called for help to take Mr. Qi to the hospital...
Then Wei Shuqing turned around and left, went to the kindergarten to pick up her son, and took him to the hospital to change his dressing.
When I got home, I specially steamed an egg custard for Qi Aiguo, gave him a few biscuits, coaxed him to eat, ate a few bites myself, and then quickly washed up and told him to go to sleep.
When Qi Zhijun returned, there were cabbage slices, spinach and tofu, and a third of a box of braised pork on the table. He opened his mouth to say something, but Wei Shuqing didn't even turn her head and went to work.
Qi Zhijun finished his meal in low spirits, tidied up, and was about to go to bed when someone called out, "Qi Zhijun."
Qi Zhijun opened the window and asked, "Who is it?"
The person who came in shouted, "Your sister called and said your dad is in the hospital and she wants you to go to the Sixth Municipal Hospital!"
Qi Zhijun was taken aback for a moment, then immediately agreed!
Then she entrusted her son to her neighbor, Aunt Zhao, and rushed to the hospital. As soon as she arrived, she saw Qi's mother, Qi Zhifang, waiting anxiously outside. She ran over breathlessly and asked, "How is Dad? Why was he suddenly hospitalized!"
Qi's mother and Qi Zhifang both glared at Qi Zhijun resentfully. Qi Zhijun was bewildered, then suddenly thought of something that might have happened and widened her eyes, saying, "Xiao Wei went home!"
Qi Zhifang lowered her voice angrily and said, "If anything happens to Dad this time, I'll never forgive you!"
Qi's mother turned her head away, and after a while the doctor came out and said, "The patient has a heart problem, so you need to be careful not to get too emotional. You can go in and see him now."
The three hurried inside. Qi's father looked at them, closed his eyes, and said weakly, "Zhijun, you must divorce that shrew!"
Qi Zhijun was stunned. Qi's father repeated himself, word by word. Qi Zhifang said irritably, "Brother, are you going to agree or not? Do I have to kneel down and beg you?"
Seeing his father's face turn pale, Qi Zhijun quickly said, "Okay, okay, I agree to everything, Dad, please don't get agitated!"
After a moment of silence, Qi's father said, "If I don't see your divorce certificate by tomorrow, I'll die."
Qi Zhijun was taken aback, but he didn't care about anything else and quickly agreed. He said anxiously, "Dad, don't get excited, relax. I agree to everything you said. I'll take care of it tomorrow. Don't worry."
Mr. Qi took a breath and then asked Mrs. Qi, "How is Dongdong's injury?"
Mother Qi shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it'll be fine in a few days after applying the medicine. Don't worry about it! Just take good care of yourself."
Mr. Qi nodded, then let the two of them go back, leaving only Mrs. Qi behind.
On the way back, Qi Zhijun said, "Did Xiao Wei cause a scene at home?"
Qi Zhifang wiped away her tears and said, "Fangfang and Honghong were all covered in blood from being whipped with a feather duster, and Dongdong also bumped his head. How could she be so cruel?"
Qi Zhijun's expression changed drastically; he couldn't believe his wife was such a ruthless person.
Qi Zhifang covered her mouth and said, "If you don't believe me, come with me and see for yourself."
When the two returned, the three little ones were fast asleep. Qi Zhijun saw that the white gauze on Wang Dong's head was still soaked with blood, and his heart clenched. When the two little girls lifted their clothes, the bloodstains were frightening, and he felt a chill in his heart.
Looking at Qi Zhifang, he said, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."
After saying this, he walked back home with a heavy heart, and went straight to bed when he got there.
