Chapter 187 Crazy Delusions

"Huang Ying, what are you thinking? The Song family has so many sons, what benefits would you get from marrying into that family?"

They can't even distinguish between their assets!

A female educated youth exclaimed in surprise!

"Property? What property does the Song family have? Besides their sons, what else do they have?" Huang Ying said nonchalantly.

Besides, even if they wanted to divide the spoils among their sons, the other family wouldn't agree! Song Chengxue is quite good; he's clean-cut, loves reading, and is very nice!

Thinking about it that way, it's not bad!

"So what are you thinking? Aunt Song is still young, even if you go there, you won't be the head of the household!"

When Aunt Song gets old, you still have Sister-in-law Song, and Second Sister-in-law Song...

When will it be your turn?

Huang Ying chuckled: "I don't mind at all. We'll see how things go! Who's in charge is still uncertain!"

The female educated youth were in an uproar!

Well, Huang Ying doesn't seem like the type to be bullied!

Xie Jianshe said to Zhou Ye with some difficulty, "I'm really sorry, we had agreed to go to the provincial capital after the autumn harvest, but it may be delayed for a few days!"

My second sister's matter needs to be dealt with quickly!

After saying that, she felt sorry for Zhou Ye.

Feeling guilty, she said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Ye. I have a lot of things going on at home, and they're quite complicated. How about I take you and Grandpa to the provincial capital first?"

Zhou waved his hand. He was quite annoyed, but Huang Ying was suddenly getting married too.

Just in time.

"It's alright, you handle it! Huang Ying's matter will be resolved in the next few days, I have things to do!"

Xie Jianshe nodded: "Okay, if you get bored, just let me know and I'll send you and Grandpa off right away!"

"Okay, I got it! You go ahead and take care of your second sister's business!"

Not long after Xie Jianshe left, Zhou Ye was reading a book when he suddenly felt a gaze upon him!

"who?"

Unexpectedly, the sound was a little louder, and the two little ones at the door were so frightened that they fell down!

"Oh!"

Zhou Ye immediately got up and went outside to see that Xiao Shitou was pulling Honghong along, and Honghong was rubbing her little bottom!

"pain!"

Looking at that pitiful little face, it's just so adorable!

Are you looking for me?

Zhou also squatted down and talked to the child!

Honghong glanced at her brother and whispered, "Auntie is beautiful, I came to see her!"

Little Stone blushed: "We didn't mean to disturb you, Mom told us to come out, so we..."

"Hehe... It's alright, please come in!"

Zhou also let the children into the house and brought out some cookies: "Come on, kids, this is all the auntie has here."

Eat whatever you like!

Oh, and remember to drink water after eating cookies! Otherwise you'll get a sore throat! Got it?

"Yes, thank you, Auntie!"

"My aunt is the best!"

Those two sweet little mouths!

I really don't know how my second brother-in-law could be so heartless as to treat these two children so badly!

In the main room, Xie Jianshe asked Xie Hongli, "Second Sister, what are you thinking? To go or not to go?"

Xie Hongli remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Erdan is actually a pretty good person, he just has too much kindness in him!"

Sometimes it's hard to distinguish the important points!

But he's a good person! Otherwise, he wouldn't have adopted two nephews. He also knows that his sister-in-law only cares about herself.

Even when my older brother was alive, it was the same!

Erdan was worried about his wife, who was only concerned with dressing up, so he took on the responsibility!

"Why……"

Xie Jianshe took a deep breath!

"So what are you planning to do now that you're back? Will you continue to live at your parents' house? What about Xiaoshitou and Honghong's school?"

Have you thought about it, Second Sister?

Xie Hongli pouted, looking aggrieved!

“I don’t know what to do, but staying in that house is really unbearable! I wanted to make dumplings for the children, but as soon as the dumplings were on the table, I had to give them to my two nephews first.”

My child is never getting enough to eat!

Erdan's salary is not much, and his sister-in-law doesn't give him a single penny!

Little Stone's grandparents were completely indifferent, though they showered him with sweet words!

"What did they say?"

Wang Guihua asked.

Xie Hongli thought for a moment and said, "It's the kind of thing we can't refuse. Every time, they ask us in front of everyone, 'Hongli, isn't it hard for you to take care of these two kids? If it's too much trouble and you don't want to take care of them, then send them back to us!'"

Do you have enough to eat and drink at home? Are you struggling financially now that you have two more children? They know perfectly well that I care about saving face!

How dare you ask that!

What can I say in front of everyone?

But in the end, I was the one who suffered the consequences!

I don't know either!

Wang Guihua looked at Xie Jianshe. To be honest, she didn't want her second daughter to get divorced either! At least Erdan wasn't a big problem!

It's just...she's so clueless!

If the second daughter also gets divorced, who knows what rumors will spread in the village? I don't know if she can withstand those nasty words!

The best thing right now is to let the second daughter and son-in-law leave their home and live somewhere far away!

Those two nephews, either let your sister-in-law take them away, or leave them with your grandparents!

It's not that we can't help them; if the children are sensible, keeping them at home isn't a bad idea! But those two kids are bossy and unreasonable!

Keeping your child at home and letting them suffer is definitely not acceptable!

Xie Jianshe thought for a moment and said, "Second sister, actually you can solve all the problems; it just depends on whether you're willing to solve them or not!"

Xie Hongli murmured, "How can I solve this?"

"You're my second sister, I know you! When we were little, if others bullied me, you would rush to their aid even if you were just worried about them!"

You said you'd protect me! Because I'm your brother!

What about now?

Your son and daughter also need your protection! Why are you afraid?

Moreover, I'll always be your support!

Your family will always stand behind you! Won't they, Second Sister? Even in the end, when the worst outcome is achieved.

You and your brother-in-law are getting a divorce!

So what?

"And I'll be there to support you! Don't worry, we've got you covered!"

Xie Hongli sniffed, suppressing the grievances in her heart, and looked at Xie Jianshe. Yes, this second brother is the pillar of the family!

She also has a second younger brother!

But she couldn't rely on her second brother forever, as he had also started his own family!

Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you! I don't want to support someone else's child, and similarly, I don't want to be a burden to my younger brother!

Xiao is also excellent, unlike myself!

Therefore, I can't cause her any trouble!

"Then tell me, what should I do!"

After talking for a long time inside, the group finally managed to get Xie Hongli settled!

Xie Hongli came out of the house and saw the children in Zhou Ye's room. Her face was a little red. "I'm so sorry, sister-in-law, for causing you trouble!"

"No, the children are very well-behaved!"

Zhou also answered with a smile!

Around 11 a.m., Zhao Erdan came again!

He was carrying crumpled fruit and looked a little embarrassed!

"mom……"

"Why are you calling me? I'm not worthy!"

Wang Guihua didn't give him the slightest bit of kindness!

Zhao Erdan put down the fruit and sat down awkwardly: "Mom, where's Hongli? I've come to pick her up! We can't do without her at home!"

"Heh...Why not? My Hongli isn't very bright, and she's not good with words either! She can't argue with you, and she can't beat you!"

So let Hongli stay at her parents' house!

They're a mother and three children; our Xie family can afford to support them!

Better than your Zhao family!

Wang Guihua's words startled Zhao Erdan!

"Mom, this... how can this be! The two children still need to go to school! And... we still need to cook at home!"

"Hehe... What a joke. My son Jianshe is so capable, how could he not handle the schooling of his two children?"

You're overthinking it.

Besides, what kind of food do we need to cook?

My two grandsons are at my house, eating at my house, so what do I need to cook?

Who is it for?

If you're eating in the cafeteria, who else is?

The others aren't my daughter's children, so let them starve to death. Their own mothers and grandmothers don't care anyway!

Zhao Erdan's heart skipped a beat!

He knew they were targeting him!

"Mom, I also disciplined those two kids when I went back this time, so things will be better once Hongli goes back!"

I know Hongli is tired, and I will try my best to help out at home!

"hehe……"

Wang Guihua sneered!

"Mom, can you let Hongli come out?"

Xie Jianshe came out and glanced at Zhao Erdan: "Brother-in-law, you're here?" "Hey... Jianshe... Hehe... I'm here..."

Xie Hongli came out five minutes later!

He was wearing a red plaid shirt and black pants!

He was wearing black cloth shoes! Clean and brand new!

The clothes Xie Hongli was wearing belonged to Xie Meili. Back in her parents' home, she lived a very comfortable life!

Zhao Erdan glanced at it, his eyes filled with amazement, but at the same time, he felt very guilty!

Yes, it was the same when Hongli married me. She wore brand new clothes and shoes and her face was full of smiles!

Ever since my nephews came, the smile on my face has disappeared!

There were no clean clothes left, only exhaustion and weariness all over my body!

"Hongli, I've come to pick you up!"

Xie Hongli looked at Zhao Erdan and sneered, "Zhao Erdan, I'm giving you four choices today! First, you send those two nephews back to your sister-in-law! You can give her a subsidy of three yuan a month!"

This is your way of showing your appreciation as their uncle! You are no longer responsible for anything they do!

Secondly, send your two nephews back to your parents' house. You're their uncle, not their father! They'll receive the same subsidy of three yuan per month!

Thirdly, I'm divorcing you, and the two children will stay with me! I won't let them go hungry! But I won't get involved in your family's affairs anymore!

If you're willing to support those two nephews, then go ahead and support them.

Fourthly, I'll divorce you, you can have the children, and I won't care about them anymore! Four children, you can do whatever you want with them!

"You and your sister-in-law can get married and become a family! That works too!"

Xie Hongli's words terrified Zhao Erdan!

"No... Hongli, I don't want to divorce you! How could I divorce you! Don't we have a good relationship?"

Xie Hongli smiled and said, "Okay? So you can bully me all you want? Do you know how tired I am every day?"

You can't hit or scold your two nephews! If they make a mistake, just say "I don't have a father," and you can get away with anything!

Do you think this is appropriate?

Little Stone and Red Red are the children I gave birth to, they are the children of you and me!

Why should my child suffer?!

Your nephew's father is dead and can't take care of them, but what about me? What about my children? What about my children's father?

"Are we supposed to be taking care of other people's children while we're still alive?"

Zhao Erdan felt even more guilty: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"What's the use of saying sorry? I've given you four choices, you choose! If you want a divorce, let's go right now!"

Do it right away!

I won't waste a single minute!

Xie Hongli's grievances intensified!

Little Stone and Red Red ran out crying loudly, "Mommy, I want Mommy! I don't want Daddy anymore! Daddy isn't a good daddy!"

I only like my older brother!

"I don't want Daddy anymore! You only like other people's kids, not us! Waaah... We want to eat!"

I don't like my dad who doesn't feed us!

Zhao Erdan felt like he was being pricked by needles!

What exactly did I do? But those two nephews are truly pitiful!

What should I do? What should I do?

My parents are getting old, and it's not easy for them either!

"Hongli, I will change in the future, okay? Believe me, as long as you come back with me, I will definitely treat you fairly in the future!"

Is that okay?

I will be good to our children from now on, okay?

Xie Hongli suddenly looked at Zhao Erdan: "Erdan, I'm going back with you today. My parents just cooked a chicken for me!"

Da Bao and Er Bao have always wanted to eat chicken legs, haven't they?

"Shall we take it back and divide it among them?"

There were only two chicken legs in the chicken, and Hongli was so kind as to give them all to her nephews! Zhao Erdan immediately laughed and said, "Hongli, you're so kind! You couldn't bear to give them to Xiaoshitou and the others, but you gave them to your nephews instead!"

They will definitely thank you!

"Oh……"

Xie Hongli let out a bitter laugh.

"See? Just a little test and you've shown your true colors! A chicken? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Can't I eat out with my child?

Why must we feed that ungrateful wretch?

dream!

Zhao Erdan, let's get a divorce!

Zhao Erdan's face was grim, and he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Hongli, please forgive me, okay? Please forgive me."

"I will not forgive you. I'm giving you a choice; you can choose one!"

"I won't choose Hongli, I only love you, I only want to spend my life with you!"

"Really? You only want to spend your life with me, and you can't choose?"

Xie Hongli retorted!

"Let me tell you, I won't compromise this time, and I won't be a pushover! If you still want me and the children, then give them up!"

I have done everything I could!

Xie Hongli's words were heartless!

Zhao Erdan sat down weakly, forcing a bitter smile. "Heh... I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"I'll leave, I'll leave!"

After Zhao Erdan left, Xie Hongli also cried!

"Mom...did I go too far?"

Wang Guihua rolled her eyes: "If you still want to live a hard life, then go ahead! Don't come back to me then!"

If you want to live a good life, listen to your brother and don't cause any trouble!

Xie Hongli didn't dare to speak anymore. She wiped away her tears and went back into her room!

After Zhao Erdan returned home, he didn't eat. When he got back to his room, it was a complete mess!

What are you doing?

"Uncle, why are you only just getting back? We haven't eaten yet! We have to go to school this afternoon!"

"That's right, Uncle! We still have to go to school, hurry up and cook for us! We're starving!"

She's not even as good as her aunt!

Zhao Erdan looked at the mess in the room and was in a very bad mood!

I sighed and went to cook!

"What is this? It's just pig slop! It's not even as good as Mom's cooking! Uncle, are you deliberately bullying me because you think Dad's gone?!"

Waaah...

We've lost our father, and we still can't get enough to eat!

"Waaah..."

"I want to eat noodles with soybean paste! I want to eat meat! Waaah... I want to eat something delicious! Waaah... Uncle, you're the worst!"

We don't like you anymore!

I want my dad... I love my dad the most!

I miss my dad!

Zhao Erdan patiently persuaded, "You should eat well. We only have noodles left at home. I'll buy some meat this afternoon and then cook for you!"

"No, I want to eat now!"

"Yes, I want to eat it now!"

With a loud "bang!", Zhao Dabao threw the rice bowl onto the ground, the porcelain bowl clanging and rattling for a long time!

Zhao Erdan looked at the terrible scene on the ground!

He let out a bitter laugh.

Zhao Erdan stared blankly at the basin on the ground. So, this is the situation Hongli faces every day?

But... it seems there's more to it than that!

She was facing four children!

You can hit or scold your own child! But you can't do that to your nephew!

"Eat if you want, otherwise you'll go to school hungry!"

Zhao Erdan spoke with a cold face!

The two nephews seemed to have never seen their uncle angry before, and for a moment they didn't dare to say a word! The two of them divided the rice in their bowls, ate it, and hurried off to school!

See! I can solve this myself, can't I?

Why did we have to leave it to Hongli? This child is naughty; how can Hongli manage him alone? But he soon found out!

Why did Hongli give up?

He was at work in the afternoon when the director called him out!

"Zhao Erdan, someone's looking for you outside! They say it's your sister-in-law!"

Zhao Erdan wondered in surprise, "Why did my sister-in-law come to see me? Is she out of money?"

"sister in law!"

"Waaah... Erdan, how could you treat the children like this? Waaah... Erdan, you're the children's uncle!"

He's my uncle!

My two kids aren't getting enough to eat, what am I supposed to do as their mother? It breaks my heart!

Waaah...

I'm so upset!

When I asked you for help, you made a good promise that you would take good care of my two children.

What about now?

They couldn't even eat properly, saying that you just gave them some noodles to get rid of them!

My sister-in-law is so heartbroken!

Looking at his sister-in-law's tearful face, Zhao Erdan suddenly remembered Hongli's words: "Your own mother is here, why don't you take care of the child?"

I brought her back because I saw that my sister-in-law couldn't control her!

But Hongli is younger than her sister-in-law, so why do I think she can take care of four children?

Back when my older brother was still alive, my sister-in-law was raising two children all by herself!

It's not all good!

Now, we haven't done a good thing properly, and we're not even getting any credit for it!

"Sister-in-law, I'm not good at taking care of two children. They complain that my cooking is bad and threw the bowls on the ground!"

So, sister-in-law, why don't you take the child back?

Sister-in-law Zhao was stunned for a moment: "What? What? Take him back? How am I supposed to raise the child by myself?"

"Sister-in-law, you're joking! Hongli is even younger than you, and she can take care of four children all by herself. Why can't you do it?"

Are you not as good as Hongli?

What are you saying?

Sister-in-law Zhao was getting anxious! What did she lack compared to that woman? She was just a country bumpkin, only good for working!

She's just a nanny!

Still dare to act tough?

The sons said their aunt had gone back to her parents' home. Ha…

If you don't want to raise my son, you just wait!

You all have to raise and take care of my sons. They'll still be my sons when they grow up! They have nothing to do with you!

"Did Hongli cause trouble? Erdan, don't spoil your wife so much. She's from the countryside, she's good at working and loves to work. Make her do what she needs to do, and hit her if she needs to!"

This aunt doesn't know how to take care of the child, what kind of woman goes back to her parents' home?

Slap her twice, and she'll know she was wrong!

You're just too kind-hearted! Erdan, your sister-in-law has always been good to you! She even cooked for you when you first married into the family!

Yes or no?

It's only right that you two take care of your nephew!

Is that right?

Hong Li's fuss was wrong!

Listen to your sister-in-law, go back home, trick her into coming home, and give her a good beating! If once isn't enough, give her two!

As long as he doesn't die!

Born with a worthless fate, yet still dares to throw a tantrum! They're really asking for trouble!

Did you hear me, Erdan?

Zhao Erdan looked at his sister-in-law as if he were seeing her all over again!

"What if Hongli wants a divorce?"

The sister-in-law was stunned for a moment: "She wouldn't dare! She's from the countryside, would she dare to divorce you? And the child is already so big!"

Will her family want her after the divorce?

"A worthless piece of trash, and a used woman at that!"

"Sister-in-law, why would you scold Hongli like that?"

Zhao Erdan was puzzled!

When her older brother was alive, Hongli and her sister-in-law had a good relationship. Why does her sister-in-law dislike Hongli so much now that her brother is gone?

"Ah... I wasn't insulting you! I was stating the facts! Yes, the facts! Hehe... I actually quite like Hongli too!"

After saying that, he ran away in a very disheveled state!

Sister-in-law Zhao left in a hurry. Why did I curse Xie Hongli like that? Of course, it was out of jealousy and hatred! Why? Why did my man have to die?

My husband died, and I became a widow!

Xie Hongli, a country bumpkin, what makes her think she can live a good life?

I'm going to make your home a living hell. I'll be happy if you two get divorced! Hehe...

Maybe then I can marry Zhao Erdan!

Zhao Dadan looks gentle, but he doesn't care about anything at home and even complains about how much money he spends! Humph, good riddance!

It's just a pity that Zhao Erdan's married life is so happy!

This is infuriating!

Divorce is the best option for Xie Hongli!

When the time comes, even if I marry Zhao Erdan, the child will still be my child, and the grandmother will still be the child's grandmother!

The father is the child's uncle!

Those feelings were real!

As for Xie Hongli's two children, ha!

If it's a boy, try to get rid of him, or better yet, have him die in an accident! As for a girl, you can raise her!

When they grow up, they can be exchanged for a dowry!

Isn't this good?

However, Zhao Erdan and Xie Hongli have a pretty good foundation in their relationship! I can't rush things! As long as my two sons are with Erdan, I'll have a chance!

Xie Hongli is at her parents' home; it's best if she doesn't come back!

You'll have many more opportunities!

When Zhao Erdan returned home, his two nephews were already back! Even his parents were there!

"Mom and Dad, what brings you here?"

"Hey, we heard that Hongli got angry with you and went back to her parents' home. We were worried, so we came to check on her!"

Did you take the child back with you?

"I can't believe it!" asked Zhao's mother worriedly.

"Um!"

"Look at you, why aren't you trying to comfort her? Hongli is a good-natured girl, she doesn't usually get angry. What happened?"

Zhao Erdan said, "We're out of food at home. I was thinking of going back to borrow some!"

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao exchanged a glance!

Zhao's mother sighed, "Alas... a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; how can she borrow grain from her maternal family?"

You didn't even tell your parents!

Although Mom and Dad are also short of food, not as much as Hongli's family, we can still manage to squeeze out a little to help you!
