Chapter 36 Regret (Part 3) No one will ever pamper her like that again...

Yao Zhizhi’s method was very simple, let Aunt Ma catch the adulterer.

When Director Cao's job was in jeopardy, he naturally had no choice but to compromise.

Third Sister Ma was puzzled: "I didn't realize he actually had such a problem with his conduct?"

"Of course. He hurriedly divorced his wife just because she fell ill. How can such a person be a good person?" Yao Zhizhi was not surprised at all.

Ma Sanjie understood the spirit of struggle and began her surveillance mission after returning.

Three days later, she finally caught him. She and her two sons rushed to a miner's house and caught Director Cao making love with him.

The miner usually worked at the western suburbs mine and was often away from home. His wife was an employee of a non-staple food factory and lived in the factory's staff dormitory.

Director Cao lived nearby, so he would come in the dark to steal a bite and gradually became addicted.

I didn't expect to be caught red-handed today, I'm so anxious.

He could only let Ma Sanjie and her son control him.

Sister Ma San didn't want to let it go like this. She wanted to find a few more witnesses and shouted at the top of her lungs, which scared Director Cao so much that he knelt down in front of her.

"Auntie, I was wrong. Please don't tell anyone! I will definitely repay you!"

Third Sister Ma laughed. Xiao Yao was really smart! To deal with shameless people, you have to use shameless methods!

She took the opportunity to put forward conditions, asking his eldest son to return to work, arranging a job for the younger son, and lending them some money for their marriage.

Director Cao was furious, but was afraid that they would spread the news, so he had to agree.

The next day, Sister Ma San came over and told Yao Zhizhi gossip in a vivid and lively manner. Yao Zhizhi smiled and clicked on the system interface from time to time to settle the melon-eating task. She earned a lot of money, which was really cool.

If you are not careful, you can unlock the diaper.

I tried it on Little Star at night, and it works really well!

It’s great that I don’t have to scrub diapers every day!

A few days later, Yao Taotao and Yao Yingying came to the city to meet with the brothers Cao Guangyuan and Cao Guangyi and agreed on a wedding date in September.

The Cao brothers brought the two sisters and happily came to Yao Zhizhi to give her the invitation.

Yao Zhizhi confiscated it.

She sat under the shade of a tree, put down the work in her hands, and slowly fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan. Her expression was as calm as a lake without wind.

The fine light and shadows on her face made people feel as if they were in another world and were alienated.

She said calmly, "As long as you think it's appropriate, I won't be attending the wedding banquet. After you two get married, you don't have to associate with me anymore."

"Zhizhi!" Yao Taotao was a little surprised. How could she accept such a thing? She couldn't help but take a step forward and asked, "Why?"

"The second trial will be held in December. If the original verdict is upheld, they will not be able to survive. Do you think that things between us can still be the same as before?" Yao Zhizhi spoke softly, but her words were the most heartbreaking.

Yao Yingying was too embarrassed to face her, and ran out with red eyes when she heard that.

Yao Taotao also fell silent.

Yes, there is no way back. Zhizhi was just afraid that she and her sisters would feel awkward, have no place to go, and be bullied if they stayed in that house.

Now that I have found my in-laws, what else is there to worry about?

There is only one Ningning left, and the two sisters can find a way to take care of her.

There is no need to trouble Zhizhi anymore.

Besides, since Ningning knew the truth but didn't report it, Zhizhi probably wouldn't bother her sister anymore.

But... she really couldn't bear to do it.

Unable to resist, she ran to the tree and squatted down, tightly holding Yao Zhizhi's hand, begging with all her heart, "Zhizhi, they are them, and we are us. We are sisters, can we still be the same as before? I will tell you, I..."

"Why bother? Every time I see you, I'll think of how your parents ruined my life. When you see me, you'll also think of how I sent them to the execution ground. Don't you feel disgusted?" Yao Zhizhi did her best. She gently let go of Yao Taotao's hand and patted it gently. "I feel disgusted."

Originally, she had no intention of returning to Yaowangzhuang, but seeing that Jindou had diarrhea and was suffering miserably, she wanted to send some money for the child's medical treatment.

This child almost repeated her mistake, so out of sympathy, she could show leniency to Jindou.

But what about others?

There's no way, there's no going back.

What's more, if she stayed here and got along well with Yao Erdan's child, what would her biological parents, brothers and sisters think?

Is it that she doesn't distinguish between close and distant relatives? Is she heartless?

No, no, she couldn't.

She helped Yao Taotao find a marriage partner, which was her last act of kindness.

From now on, the bridge will be the bridge, the road will be the road, and we will be strangers when we meet again.

Yao Taotao just looked at her with tears in her eyes. She had so many things to say but couldn't utter a word.

In the end, she ran out crying, leaving behind a broken heart.

Two drops of salty tears were blown by the midsummer wind and fell on Yao Zhizhi's hands. They were the broken sisterhood of Yao Taotao and the past that Yao Zhizhi could never go back to.

Yao Taotao returned to Yaowangzhuang and looked at the familiar courtyard and her unfamiliar sister, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Yao Jingjing is still not used to rural life. She makes a fuss all the time and is annoying.

Living at home, she is like an ancestor, needing others to serve her in everything. Yao Taotao will not indulge her.

That night, she laid out the rules for the sisters: "My eldest sister and I are getting married in September. With two months left, the five of us will take turns cooking, washing, and taking care of the children. Anyone who doesn't want to do it will be deducted money, and anyone who doesn't do it well will also be deducted money. Of course, married women can also ask their men to do it for them, as long as it doesn't affect their work or their job. It's up to them."

Yao Yingying didn't say anything. Now she no longer had a say in this family and had to listen to the second brother.

The third brother has never had any personal opinions and just follows the crowd.

The fourth brother was determined to teach Yao Jingjing a lesson, so he naturally agreed.

Yao Jingjing was the only one left. Even though she knew that her four sisters were targeting her, she didn't dare to say anything.

Yes, a person can be arrogant and complacent only because the people around her are willing to pamper her.

To put it bluntly, it's just arrogance due to favoritism.

And now, she has returned to the position that originally belonged to her. Her biological parents are about to be executed, her four sisters dislike her, the man has long cut off contact with her, Xing Hongxia has encountered another accident, and the only one left is the idiot Duan Cheng. For her, he gave up his bright future, gave up his job as a university lecturer, and came to the countryside to work as an educated youth, becoming a complete fallen phoenix.

There are militiamen nearby watching her. If she dares to act recklessly, she will have her sentence doubled.

She no longer has the capital to be willful in her life.

She still has a son to raise, otherwise her sisters would probably kick her out.

She could only nod and say, "Okay, let's do it."

Late at night, she lay in bed, listening to the breathing of the man and child beside her, her mind full of thoughts.

Suddenly I felt a little regretful.

Maybe she shouldn't have done anything to Yao Genbao in the first place. Maybe she should have confessed when things were about to get out of control.

Xie Chunxing was the most soft-hearted. When the time came, she would cry, kneel down, and beg for her mother's mercy. At least she could still stay in her home in the Northeast, instead of living in such a tiny place like she is now, and having to depend on others for favors.

They couldn’t get enough to eat and their clothing was limited. The limited amount of cloth they received each month was not enough for the children.

She was almost in despair.

She didn't know how to live like this.

Every moment! Every minute! Every second! I regret it!

Deep regret!

Especially the broken bed boards here, they make noises every time you turn over!

It's hard and narrow, and I can't stretch my legs freely when I sleep.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and in the end she even started to sob.

Duan Cheng worked in the production team and was tired after a day of work, so he had no energy to coax her.

Fortunately, he still loves her and his patience with her has not run out.

He reached out his hand in a daze, patted the woman's back, and muttered, "Don't cry, don't cry."

In less than a minute, he was completely asleep like a dead pig.

Yao Jingjing was not comforted and started crying again. In the end, her voice became more and more uncontrollable, waking up the whole family.

Yao Mengmeng was also breastfeeding and had trouble sleeping. She was now being disturbed by her husband. Yao Mengmeng was so angry that she immediately rushed into their room and twisted her legs twice.

Yao Jingjing screamed in pain, completely waking Duan Cheng up.

Duan Cheng was filled with anger, but when he saw Yao Mengmeng coming, he could only endure it. There was no other way. This woman was married into the family and was the real head of the household. She also had a job at the supply and marketing cooperative, and her husband protected her.

Although Duan Cheng was a nerd, he wasn't stupid enough to directly provoke his aunt and brother-in-law. He sat up and sighed, "Fourth sister, Jingjing hasn't adapted yet. Can you give her some time?"

Yao Mengmeng was furious and cursed, "If she can't adapt, how can we adapt? Do you know how good my old fifth sister was? What about Yao Jingjing? She does nothing, and yet she wants the whole family to wait on her? Who does she think she is, a little princess? Excuse me, this is New China, and princesses are to be brought down!"

Duan Cheng knew he was in the wrong, so he had to put on a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Fourth Sister. It's my fault for letting her disturb you. Go and get some rest. I'll comfort her."

Yao Mengmeng snorted coldly, barely giving him some face: "Then you have to comfort her. Don't let her cry again. It's the middle of the night, it's scary!"

"I understand, Fourth Sister." Duan Cheng suppressed his annoyance and finally persuaded this explosive person to leave.

He rubbed his hair and looked at the crying Yao Jingjing: "Jingjing, I'm really tired. I have to get up at four o'clock tomorrow to pull weeds. Can you let me get some sleep? We can talk about it when I come back tomorrow."

Yao Jingjing lowered her head in grievance and sobbed, "Duan Cheng, I can't stand it here anymore. I want to go back to Northeast China."

"I can't do it." Duan Cheng was straightforward, shattering her fantasy. "Just accept your fate. I can only stay here with you. There's nothing else I can do. My sisters have lived this way too, and they're doing well too. Besides, this was supposed to be your life. Now that you've returned to your place, just start over. Don't be afraid, I'm with you."

Yao Jingjing was completely disappointed.

She wants to live a good life and doesn't want to suffer here.

She needs to think of another way out.

But what other options did she have? She couldn't just ignore her child.

She really regretted it. If only she didn't have a child, she could just clap her hands and walk away.

And now…

It's over, she is completely finished. At this important fork in her life, she made all the wrong choices and nothing she did was worth it.

For several days, she was in a daze and felt out of her mind.

On the fifth day, it was her turn to do housework.

As a result, when her sisters and Duan Cheng went to the fields at four o'clock and came back for breakfast at six o'clock, she was still sleeping soundly.

As for Yao Mengmeng and Liu Hongwei, they are the only two people in the family who have proper jobs, so they can naturally sleep until six o'clock.

Yao Mengmeng had actually woken up a long time ago, but she deliberately didn't call Yao Jingjing. She was waiting for everyone to be furious so that she could have a legitimate reason to deal with Yao Jingjing.

Yao Mengmeng directly brought a bucket of well water and poured it on her, cursing rudely: "Yao Jingjing, do you think you are a landlord's wife? A whole family is waiting on you alone? I count to three, and you get up and cook! Don't force me to do it!"

Yao Jingjing quickly got up, feeling furious and about to explode, but when she looked at her hungry and angry sisters in the room, and then at Duan Cheng who looked dejected and exhausted, she had no choice but to endure it.

However, she didn't know how to cook, and in the end Duan Cheng angrily and noisily made a barely edible breakfast.

This kind of thing doesn't need to happen too often. After two or three times, no one can stand her anymore.

Even Duan Cheng had nothing to say to her while lying in bed at night.

He was very tired, and the omnipresent tiredness overwhelmed him.

He had never regretted so much in his life, but now he regretted it.

It turns out that I didn't listen to the old man's advice and suffered the consequences.

No matter how much the woman beside him cried, he treated it as noise. He could fall asleep even though the cicadas outside were so noisy, just as if there was a human-shaped cicada sleeping in his bed.

Yao Jingjing cried all night but no one paid any attention to her. She woke up completely at dawn.

She finally realized that no one would spoil her like her parents, brothers and sisters in Northeast China.

No more!

She got up crying to make breakfast, burned her hand when lighting the fire, and no one cared about her while she was eating.

She couldn't stand it anymore and started complaining at the dinner table.

But no one paid any attention to her. Everyone was very tired. Those who went to work were either earning work points or earning money.

Who has the time to care about her pretentious little princess emotions? It's simply unreasonable.

Late at night, Yao Jingjing could no longer bear it and quietly got up. She had to think of a way to take over Yao Mengmeng's job at the supply and marketing cooperative. Then she could sleep until six o'clock every day and continue to be a decent little princess.

But how to take this job?

Kill Yao Mengmeng? Her sentence will be increased. Unless she continues to be pregnant and gives birth, she will go to prison in two years.

So……

Attack Liu Hongwei? No, Yao Mengmeng gave birth to a son for him, and she holds a special place in his heart.

Then...

Well, let’s think of a way to let Yao Mengmeng die on her own.

Yao Jingjing stared at the darkness outside the window and came up with an idea.

*

Yao Zhizhi has nothing to worry about. Her child is taken care of by her husband, her third brother prepares three meals a day, and her mother-in-law often takes her to eat melons for rewards. She can arrange her time as she pleases, making bamboo products when she wants and writing articles when she wants.

Without any constraints or burdens.

My life is so happy and I don’t know how comfortable it is.

The only drawback is that I can’t see my parents, older brother and two sisters every day, nor can I reunite with my sister-in-law and four little babies over there.

In order to make up for the regret, Yao Zhizhi writes a diary every day, organizes it once a week, and sends it to her parents, brothers and sisters for them to read together.

She also received replies every week, sometimes just one, sometimes many, depending on how busy they were.

That day, Yao Zhizhi had just put a thick letter into the mailbox. When she turned around, she saw a familiar figure.

No, I can’t say I’m familiar with you, it’s more like we’ve met once.

She looked at Qin Yicheng in surprise and asked, "Are you on a business trip?"

"No, I'm here to work." Qin Yicheng smiled and kept his distance. "I heard you're a mother. Congratulations."

"Thank you." Yao Zhizhi looked at her watch. It was getting late, so she prepared to go back.

Qin Yicheng handed over a box and said, "Last year, I recognized your parents as my godparents, so you are my sister. Here, this is a gift for your child."

Yao Zhizhi didn't want to accept it, she smiled and shook her head: "You're too polite, we don't need anything at home, you can keep it for use."

"Take it. The child will call me uncle in the future, right?" Qin Yicheng smiled politely, opened the box himself, and showed her the toy gun inside. "Boys will definitely like it. If you don't believe me, go home and try it."
