In her previous life, Old Lady Li toiled her entire life for her family. She raised three children and brought up her grandchildren, never enjoying a single day of peace. Yet, her sacrifices were n...
Qiao Xiangliu was unhappy because her parents-in-law gave 200 yuan to her second aunt Dayan for surgery. Her parents-in-law did not say whether He Wenguang paid back the money later, and they did not know.
But she didn't expect that after her second aunt was discharged from the hospital, her parents-in-law took her back to her parents' home to recuperate after giving birth, which made her even more unhappy.
How can a married daughter go back to her parents' home to recuperate after giving birth?
There is an old saying that goes, if a married daughter returns to her parents' home to recuperate and give birth, her brothers from that family will be in trouble.
But the parents-in-law are the ones who make the decisions at home, and they have the final say. Because the eldest sister-in-law in the first room didn't say anything, if she had said something, it would have shown that she was narrow-minded and couldn't even tolerate her own husband's sister.
She complained to Gu Bing in private and was scolded by him.
She kept all the unhappiness in her heart. She saw that her second aunt had been living in her parents' home for days, and none of the He family members showed up.
My mother-in-law either has chicken soup or fish soup every day, and her first snack is always four poached eggs.
I couldn't help myself today, and took advantage of my daughter Jinjin's fuss about eating eggs to make a fuss.
But the mother-in-law directly pointed it out and asked her fiercely who she was scolding.
Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Qiao Xiangliu became timid.
She said embarrassedly, "Mom, you are scolding Jin Jin. You are too suspicious."
"Scold Jinjin..." Zhao Wenjuan sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? If you have anything to say, just tell me directly, don't be sarcastic here. If you say it directly, I will look up to you."
"Really not." Qiao Xiangliu said softly with her head down.
Why, she has brought her married daughter back home to recuperate after the baby is born, and she won’t allow anyone to complain?
Zhao Wenjuan looked at her daughter-in-law with disdain, snorted, and went back to the kitchen to cook her brown sugar eggs.
She cooked a brown sugar egg for her granddaughter Gu Jinjin and her eldest grandson Gu Linlin.
Zhao Wenjuan walked into the bedroom carrying a large bowl of brown sugar eggs and saw her daughter Dayan looking out the window with a confused look on her face.
"What is Dayan thinking?"
Dayan came back to his senses, "Mom."
Zhao Wenjuan sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Don't take your sister-in-law's words to heart. Just stay at home and recuperate. She just talks a lot."
"Come and have some brown sugar eggs."
Dayan put his son, who had eaten and fell asleep, aside, took the bowl from his mother's hand, and stirred the poached eggs in the bowl with a spoon.
"It's really not good for a married daughter to come back to her parents' home to recuperate after childbirth when her brothers are all married and have children. It's reasonable for her to have complaints."
Zhao Wenjuan looked at her daughter with a distressed face. She married such a man, but only after giving birth to her second child did she realize whether he was a human or a ghost. She suffered so much, and now when she returned to her parents' home where she grew up, she was talked about by the neighbors and criticized by her younger siblings. How sad her daughter Dayan must feel.
"This house belongs to your father. Your father has the final say. You are staying at home to recuperate after your childbirth. Anyone who has objections should get out right away!"
When she said the last sentence, Zhao Wenjuan raised her voice deliberately, saying it for people outside to hear.
When Qiao Xiangliu outside heard this, her face turned dark and she walked out.
Dayan quickly stopped him, "Mom, don't say that. Don't let your sister-in-law and Xiaobing have conflicts with you."
She didn't want to destroy the harmony of this family because of herself.
Zhao Wenjuan: "But mom doesn't want you to be wronged."
"Mom..." Dayan's eyes reddened.
“Don’t cry during confinement, it will damage your eyes.” Zhao Wenjuan wiped her daughter’s tears quickly.
"Mom, what do you think we should do in the future?"
Dayan has been thinking a lot these days. She doesn't dare to continue living with He Wenguang, but she is also at a loss about the future.
If she divorced He Wenguang, she would not be able to bear to leave any of her children.
Not to mention whether He Wenguang would agree to give both children to her, she herself did not have the confidence to raise two children by herself, after all, she still had to go to class.
But if each of the two children has one, neither the other child nor He Wenguang will be able to take care of them themselves, and they will be sent back to the countryside to be raised by their mother.
She had seen the conditions in He Wenguang's hometown, and she knew that it would be hard for the child to be raised by his mother.
Moreover, He Wenguang will definitely remarry, so once the child has a stepmother, he will also have a stepfather.
She also doesn't want her children to be wronged.
If He Wenguang was willing to give her both children, and she took the two children back to her parents' home, her sister-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law would definitely have great opinions, and the family might even be broken up.
And she didn't want to drag her parents down and cause unrest in her parents' home.
It's difficult to make any choice.
Zhao Wenjuan was silent for a moment, then looked at her daughter and said, "Dayan, choose the path you want to take. There is an old saying that goes, things will work out when the time comes. If you want to divorce He Wenguang, I have no objection. I can't help you with anything else, but I can help you take care of the children."
In this era, divorce is considered a shameful thing by the world, and no parent would want their daughter to get divorced.
Zhao Wenjuan was the same, but she had seen the hatred that He Wenguang and Cao Zhaodi had for each other, and she was afraid to let her daughter live with such a person.
I'm afraid that if something happens to Dayan someday, we will still not take Dayan's life seriously, just like we did this time.
So she let Dayan go the way she wanted to go, and was willing to help Dayan along the way and provide some help within her ability.
Dayan was moved and nodded. As for what to do in the future, she still needed to think about it carefully. This was not something she could decide casually.
Qin Rong got divorced. She took a day off on Tuesday and went to the court.
With the case handling certificate issued by the Public Security Bureau as evidence, in the absence of Lei Dalei, the court ruled to dissolve the marriage between Qin Rong and Lei Dalei on the grounds that Lei Dalei had cheated on his wife, was unfaithful to his marriage, and had a breakdown in his relationship with Qin Rong.
As for the crime of bigamy, because the whereabouts of Lei Dalei's mistress were unknown, it was difficult to investigate and collect evidence across provinces, and there was insufficient evidence, so it was not established.
Although she didn't want to let that beast Lei Dalei go to jail, Qin Rong was very satisfied that the divorce went smoothly and she didn't have to wait around as Lei Dalei's wife.
She had just received her salary, so to celebrate, she bought a chicken and took it home to share with her daughter Chunbao.
Seeing that Qin Rong followed Li Shuping and even ate chicken, Aunt Yuan regretted it in her heart.
Obviously, when Li Shuping first came to No. 23 Courtyard, it was me who greeted her first.
If he hadn't taken advantage of Li Shuping and offended her, maybe the one helping out in her shop now would be his own daughter-in-law.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, two police cars stopped on the roadside outside the dumpling shop.
A policeman in an olive green uniform got off the car.
When passers-by saw so many police officers entering the dumpling shop, they thought something had happened inside.
The customers eating dumplings in the store also looked nervous, thinking: Could the owner of this dumpling shop have done something wrong?
Seeing that it was Captain Gu and his men coming, Li Shuping handed the dumplings in the pot to Qin Ye and went to greet them with a smile.
"Captain Gu, Comrade Zhao, how come you have time to come here today?"
Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "We just closed a big case today. Before we started the case, Captain Gu said that he would treat us to a big dinner after the case was closed."
"I just got off the car and saw that Captain Gu took us to a dumpling restaurant. I was thinking that Captain Gu was stingy and treated us to dumplings for dinner. I didn't expect it was opened by you, Sister Li. Now I take back what I said about Captain Gu being stingy."
We are all familiar with each other, so calling each other "old comrade" seems strange.
Calling her Aunt Li made her sound old, so Xiao Zhao just called her Sister Li.
"Hurry up and sit down. Hurry up and sit down."
Li Shuping smiled and asked everyone to take a seat.
