Chapter 191 Finally, liberation!

Xie Hongli's eyes reddened; thinking about what had happened in the past two years made her feel suffocated with sorrow!

The kneeling figure flickered...

"Dad, Mom, just tell me, how do you want me to die? Starve to death? Or work myself to death? Your daughter-in-law is truly incompetent!"

I have no money, but I still have to support two teenagers!

Erdan has limited abilities; ever since he handed over his formal job to his older brother, he has been a temporary worker!

Although my older brother is no longer here, his job has been given to my sister-in-law!

We are truly powerless to help!

"What? The eldest son got his job from the younger son? That's inhuman! They're both sons, this favoritism is outrageous!"

"That's right, logically speaking, the job should be returned to their youngest son! This old couple is just like the landlords in the old society, bullying their own youngest son's family!"

That's outrageous!

"I've seen biased people before, but I've never seen anything this outrageous!"

Seeing everyone gossiping, I originally intended to morally blackmail my youngest son, but instead, I was criticized by others!

Zhao's mother looked at Xie Hongli kneeling on the ground with a dark face!

She gritted her teeth and said, "So you mean you're not going to support Da Bao and Er Bao anymore, is that right?"

"Mom, your daughter-in-law is really incompetent! I really can't raise someone else's child and let my own child starve to death!"

Mom, I'm not that great!

You may be truly great, but unlike you, I really can't do it!

Zhao's mother was so angry that she trembled all over!

"You...you..."

"Look how angry he is! Ugh! Where were you all this time? So noble? Supporting other people's children!"

I think she's selfish and lazy!

She doesn't want to raise them herself, so she makes her youngest son's family do it! She's selfish and doesn't want to spend a single penny! She's been exploiting her youngest son's family all along!

How shameless!

"Huh...where's those two boys' mother? Could she have run off with someone?"

"Look at what you're saying, your husband died, and you don't even raise your own son. What else could it be but running off with someone else?"

"I've never seen a mother who doesn't raise her own child! Oh my, tsk tsk..."

Zhao's mother took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

He looked at Zhao Erdan and said, "Erdan, you're just letting your wife bully me like this? Huh?"

Zhao Erdan pursed his lips and said, "Mom, my wife is kneeling before you! Who kneels down first when someone is bullying another?"

You know?

Zhao's mother was choked!

I can't say a word!

He glanced at Zhao's father, then looked sharply at Zhao Erdan: "Zhao Erdan, isn't it your own wife? Aren't you going to take care of her?"

Do you think that kneeling down makes you the weaker party?

"You won't even support your own nephew, are you even human?"

You're not even as good as an animal!

Zhao Erdan smiled faintly: "Dad, I'm tired of hearing these insults at me since I was a child! I always thought that by making my family suffer, I could gain your approval!"

But you still scold me like that!

You've seen how I've spent the last two years!

My clothes are so patched up they can't fit anymore!

Layer upon layer!

Please check yours again, do you have any patches?

"Dad, I know you don't care about me, but it's okay, I'll have someone to care about me from now on! Even my parents-in-law will care if I'm hungry or cold!"

But you don't care!

It's okay, I don't need it!

I definitely can't raise my two children! I can't abandon my wife and children for my nephew!

No matter what you say, I won't change my mind!

Zhao's father was so angry that his beard stood on end!

Just as I was about to unleash a torrent of abuse!

Suddenly a woman rushed over, hugged Zhao Dabao, and started crying!

"Da Bao, what's wrong? Why are you and Er Bao standing at the door? What happened?"

"Have you eaten yet, it's so late?"

It was Liu Fei, Zhao Erdan's sister-in-law, who arrived!

As soon as Zhao Dabao saw his mother arrive, he burst into tears!

"Waaah... My uncle won't let me in the door. He said he won't take care of me anymore! I don't have a father anymore, does that mean my uncle doesn't want me either?"

I want to eat! I want to eat!

Grandpa and Grandma brought us to my uncle's house, saying that since my uncle didn't raise us, they would disown him!

mom!

What am I going to do?!

Annoyance flashed across Liu Fei's face!

He stood up and said to Zhao Erdan, "Zhao Erdan, what are you saying? Why won't you let Dabao and Erbao in?"

Why shouldn't they be allowed to eat?

Zhao Erdan looked at Liu Fei: "Sister-in-law, they are your sons, and you are still alive and well. Why should I support them?"

I'm just your uncle!

Besides, my family is poor and can't afford to raise your two children. Please take them back with you, sister-in-law!

Liu Fei was stunned for a moment!

"What...what? You're really not going to keep it anymore?"

Liu Fei felt a surge of panic!

Although she got her husband's job, which in theory should have been enough to support the family and children, she didn't want to!

With a monthly salary of just over twenty yuan, she can buy herself clothes and eat in the cafeteria every month!

They're still living in the company's single dormitory!

In fact, her life has become visibly more comfortable since her husband passed away!

No need to worry about the children, no need to be filial to the in-laws, and no need to cook!

These days are simply heavenly.

Now her brother-in-law is telling her he's not going to raise the child anymore?

What should she do then?

If she takes the kids back, cooking every day will be a hassle! They're two teenagers, and they eat a lot!

Buying clothes, eating out, eating meat, buying shoes, notebooks, etc., all cost money!

With her meager salary, where would she find any extra money to spend?

Zhao Erdan looked at Liu Fei and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, when you sent the child to my parents' place before, I said that I would take care of him for the time being!"

But I only said it was temporary!

Because I was worried that you had just lost your husband and wouldn't be in the mood to take care of the two children! But it's been more than two years already!

You live a wonderful life every day!

That's more than my salary! It should be more than enough to support two kids! Sister-in-law, please take them home today!

Liu Fei looked at her in-laws with a mournful face, and they immediately looked away! She cursed inwardly!

"Erdan, you know how it is. How can a woman like me take care of two children? I also have to go to work!"

Why……

My life is tough too!

"What's wrong with you, sister-in-law? Look at your own appearance, and then look at my wife's appearance!"

Your silk scarf is probably more expensive than all of my wife's clothes, right?

You're saying you can't raise two kids on your own? How can my wife? She still has Xiaoshitou and Honghong to take care of!

Your salary is higher than mine!

Liu Fei looked at her clothes and didn't know what to say for a long time!

Zhao's mother spoke!

"No, you can't let your sister-in-law take the child away!"

"Why?" Zhao Erdan knew the reason, of course, but he had to ask! He had to make his mother explain the reason in front of everyone!

Zhao's mother glared at Zhao Erdan and said, "It's too difficult for your sister-in-law, a woman, to take care of two children!"

She still has to go to work!

No time!

"Unlike you and Hongli, one of you earns the money and the other cooks and takes care of the children, which is perfect!"

"impossible!"

Zhao Erdan said it again!

"Mom and Dad, I've already told you, these two children are not my responsibility to take care of! I don't have the money to take care of them!"

Zhao's mother: "You..."

Zhao's father and mother huddled together, starting to discuss what to do!

Finally, the look in his eyes towards Xie Hongli was tinged with disdain!

"Erdan, come here, your dad and I have come up with a plan!"

"What method?"

Zhao Erdan never expected that what he said next would completely destroy his worldview!

"Erdan, there's an old saying: nothing tastes better than dumplings, nothing's more fun than... you know what I mean, right?"

Zhao's mother said with a smile.

Zhao Erdan's eyes widened immediately.

He stared at Zhao's mother in disbelief, unable to believe that these words had come from his mother's mouth!

What did his mother say?

Fun...

That's really true...

"Mom, do you know what you're saying?"

"I know! But think about it, Hongli's only contribution to our Zhao family is giving birth to Little Stone!"

Is that right?

What use is Honghong, a mere little girl?

It's a money-losing proposition!

Mom thought, since Hongli is making a scene and unwilling to take care of your two nephews, then... you should divorce Xie Hongli!

Make her leave with nothing and take Honghong with her!

You marry your sister-in-law!

"You two work, you both earn money, and you've raised three children, is that alright?"

Of course, Liu Fei was also present when she said this!

Liu Fei glanced at Zhao Erdan and was actually somewhat tempted!

Zhao Erdan looked at his parents for a long time, and then let out a bitter laugh.

"You're treating us like this for the sake of your grandson? Mom and Dad, do you think I'm stupid?"

For your own convenience, you abandoned your own wife and children just to raise someone else's child?

What are your thoughts?

I'm really curious!

Mom and Dad, do you still have hearts?

You say Hongli hasn't contributed anything to this family? Well, cooking for your two grandsons these past two years, isn't that a contribution?

Making clothes for them isn't a merit?

ah?

How could you be so shameless?

ah? "

These words were unacceptable to Zhao's father and mother, after all, Zhao Erdan had never said such harsh words to them before!

With a "smack," Zhao's father slapped Zhao Erdan hard across the face!

"Oh……"

"Smack!"

"You still dare to laugh?"

Zhao's father slapped Zhao Erdan again!

"Dad, since you're already angry, I'll be frank with you! I'm informing you today, not discussing this with you!"

Hongli and I have a very good relationship! A very good one!

We will live our lives well!

I will never be with my sister-in-law, never!

I don't know how to raise my two children! I was thinking that if we had any extra money, we could help out!

But now, I've decided I won't patronize them anymore! Because you don't need them!

From now on, we'll just focus on living our own lives!

But don't worry, you gave birth to me and raised me. When you get old, I will take care of you, that's all!

Since you look down on Hongli so much, then don't expect Hongli to treat you any differently in the future!

After all, you haven't done Hongli any favors!

"What did you say?"

Zhao's father glared at him!

Zhao Erdan immediately knelt down: "Mom and Dad, if you're angry, hit me to vent your anger! But don't hit me too hard, after all, I still have a wife and children to take care of!"

"If you hit too hard, Hongli will call the police!"

Zhao's father looked at Zhao Erdan in disbelief!

His son has changed!

He's actually starting to have his own ideas! This idiot is actually thinking about himself!

"Fine, since you refuse to listen to us, then we will no longer acknowledge you, and you will have no home!"

Do you understand?

"From now on, you won't get a single penny of our family property, or our salaries!"

Zhao Erdan gave a bitter laugh: "Give it to me? Mom and Dad, have you ever thought about giving it to me? No, never!"

Are you threatening me with this now?

Sorry, I never intended to get it!

"If you don't want to admit it, then don't!"

You don't acknowledge it?

Zhao's father turned pale with anger and took a few steps back!

Liu Fei suddenly spoke up and accused, "Erdan, how can you be so heartless? For the sake of your wife and child, you don't even care about your parents?"

Don't they even recognize their parents anymore?

Liu Fei felt she understood Zhao Erdan well; he desperately wanted his in-laws' approval, so he was just saying things out of anger.

Moreover, he certainly wouldn't dare to tell anyone what his parents-in-law and he had just said!

With so many people around, he wouldn't be so inconsiderate!

Let everyone's spittle drown him!

"This... it's really unreasonable for a son to disown his father!"

"That's right, no matter how deep the hatred, you can't disown your parents!"

"Sigh... Why is this child so stubborn! Look how angry and humble his parents are!"

Besides, how foolish would you be to give up your family's wealth!

"You're not filial at all!"

Zhao Erdan felt even more heartbroken. Looking at his parents' faces, his resolve hardened.

"Mom and Dad, do you think you did the right thing? My wife and children have taken care of my nephew for more than two years, and you say she has done nothing to benefit the family."

Then tell me what constitutes merit.

You actually made me divorce my wife, abandon my child, and marry my sister-in-law! Have you ever thought about me?

Do you really treat me like a son?

Isn't it a tool?

Zhao Erdan spoke with all his might!

The onlookers were shocked. Zhao's father, mother, and Liu Fei all stared at Zhao Erdan in astonishment.

He actually... dared to say that?

Family scandals should not be aired in public!

He really doesn't care about anything anymore!

"You...you are a bastard!"

Zhao's father was so angry that he cursed loudly!

Zhao Erdan thought, how wonderful it would be if he wasn't their biological son. At least he would have something to hold onto in his heart, to know that he wasn't their biological son and that's why his parents treated him this way!

However, he knew very well that he was his biological son!

"Are these parents crazy? How could they treat their youngest son like this?"

"Is a grandson more important than a son?"

"That young wife is so innocent! This is outrageous!"

"He's not human, he deserves to be without a son!"

"Yeah, that woman looks perfectly respectable, but she's shameless!"

Liu Fei was so ashamed she wanted to disappear!

Zhao Dabao and Zhao Erbao felt very embarrassed and ashamed! Today they also learned that the reason everyone was arguing and making a scene outside was because none of them wanted to support them and their younger brother!

He looked at his uncle, then at his grandparents, then at his mother…

He simply didn't understand!

"Uncle, do you really not want me anymore?"

"It's not that we don't want you, it's just that you have a mother and grandparents! Each of them earns more than your uncle!"

Your uncle can't afford to support you!

Besides, your uncle has his own children! He can't take care of you and neglect his own kids!

Just like your mother, if she raised someone else's child and didn't care about you, wouldn't you have any objections?

Aren't you sad?

Zhao Dabao pursed his lips and thought for a moment.

He snorted and ignored Zhao Erdan, instead standing beside his mother!

Zhao's father and mother exchanged a glance, and Zhao's father nodded: "Alright, Zhao Erdan, I'll tell you straight, if you don't listen to me today, then we'll pretend we don't have a son like you!"

Don't come back for Chinese New Year from now on!

Zhao Erdan glanced at Xie Hongli beside him!

He said in a deep voice, "Alright!"

"you……"

Father Zhao gritted his teeth, seemingly wanting to bite Zhao Erdan to death, and finally glared at the couple: "Let's go back! Da Bao, Er Bao, let's go!"

Zhao Dabao and Zhao Erbao left with their father and mother!

Liu Fei looked at Xie Hongli kneeling on the ground: "Sister-in-law, I understand your current difficulties! You should work hard and when you have money in the future, I will send the two children back!"

Your own nephew, how can you really not care about him?

You can't live with yourself, can you?

Xie Hongli's face flushed with anger: "Our lives will get better and better in the future! I'm telling you today, even if we become rich and better off in the future, I will never support your child again!"

If you can live with yourself not raising your own son, why can't I?

You are the last person who has the right to say this!

"you……"

Liu Fei was furious. Seeing the mocking looks from those around her, she fled as if she were escaping into the night!

Zhao Erdan stood up and helped Xie Hongli up: "I'm sorry, I've made you suffer again! It's my fault!"

The neighbors chimed in, "Hongli, Erdan has finally come to his senses. Your hard times are finally over!"

Live a good life from now on!

Even if you don't have a husband's family, you still have your own family!

"Yes, a family like that is better off without!"

Xie Hongli smiled and said, "Thank you everyone, thank you sisters-in-law!"

"Live well from now on!"

"good!"

People gradually left, and Zhao Erdan and Xie Hongli went inside and closed the door!

Little Stone and Red Red looked at their parents with red eyes.

"Children, from now on we will all have plenty to eat, and we will live a good life!"

"Mmm!"

"Okay, Mom!"

The Zhao family was shrouded in gloom. Liu Fei didn't want to take care of the child, and Zhao's father and mother didn't want her to take the child away either!

"Liu Fei, you only earn about twenty yuan a month, which is more than enough for one person. These two children are your responsibility!"

You have to support it!

Zhao's mother said!

Liu Fei said with difficulty, "Mom and Dad, as you know, I'm too busy with work, how can I have time to take care of the child!"

"I know you don't have time, so we'll take care of it!"

As soon as Zhao's mother finished speaking, Liu Fei said joyfully, "It's all thanks to Mom and Dad! I'm so grateful to you both!"

"Don't worry, you'll have to give me ten yuan a month for living expenses! You still have to provide for your own son's food and drink!"

Zhao's mother looked at Liu Fei seriously and said!

Liu Fei was stunned!

"Wh...what?"

Zhao's mother's face immediately fell!

"What? You're unwilling? This is your own son. Don't you plan to raise him? Who do you want to raise him?"

"Do you think everyone is as stupid as Erdan?"

"That's still your grandson," Liu Fei said, dissatisfied.

“He’s my grandson, but he’s also your son! You have to pay back ten yuan a month. I’m telling you, that’s already a very small amount!”

"You only have twenty-odd yuan a month, how can one person possibly spend that much?"

In the past two years, Liu Fei has gotten used to a free life, spending her twenty-odd yuan however she wants!

Having money but no husband is so great! Now, suddenly having to take out ten dollars... how am I supposed to live like this!

"Mom, you... how come you're not even as good as Erdan? His uncle has been supporting me for years and hasn't asked me for a single penny!"

All the delicious food was reserved for the eldest and second children!

"Why do you need money to raise your own grandson?!"

Liu Fei said with dissatisfaction!

"Heh... Liu Fei, so you know how Erdan has been raising your son these past few years?"

If they don't want it, you won't give it to them?

This is your son. He's been suffering for the past two years and he's not willing to suffer anymore. Are you satisfied now? If you had known better, you would have paid him back!

Even Erdan wouldn't go this far! Do you understand?

Zhao's mother stood up angrily and started cursing!

"Tch! As if you paid me!"

Liu Fei is not afraid of Zhao's mother!

"Mom, either don't let me take the kids away, or give me five yuan a month! How much can two kids eat!"

Besides, I have a responsibility, and you, as the grandmother, also have a responsibility!

Just five yuan!

Not a single extra penny will be given!

Zhao's mother was furious. She pointed at Liu Fei and felt a pain in her chest!

"Leave the money and get out!"

Liu Fei snorted, left five yuan, and turned to leave!

Zhao Dabao pouted and said angrily, "Aren't you all going to take care of me? My brother and I haven't eaten yet."

Are you trying to starve me to death?

Zhao's mother sighed, "Never mind, I'll go cook!"

Although Mr. and Mrs. Zhao earn a lot of money each month, they really can't afford to eat out!

A little while later, Zhao's mother brought out half a pot of corn porridge, a few wild vegetable dumplings, and a plate of pickled vegetables!

"Eat up! We really owe you all!"

Zhao's mother's words were very unpleasant to hear!

When Zhao Dabao looked at the food, he realized that although his uncle's family often ate pickled vegetables, they mostly ate them themselves. Even when they were short of money, they would still give themselves and his younger brother some green vegetables!

this……

Looking at his grandmother's face, he instantly became angry!

"Grandma, why are you making this food for us? I don't have a father anymore, can't I eat something better?"

"I want to eat meat, and I want to eat vegetables!"

"Hey, you kid, when will you stop? You keep saying you don't have a father anymore. That's my son, how can I not be upset?"

You're not allowed to say that again!

Besides, you're not allowed to eat!

Zhao's mother was no longer as kind as before; instead, she spoke very sternly!

Zhao Dabao and Zhao Erbao were startled! Tears welled up in their eyes, but they still ate their food with a sense of humiliation.

I was very hungry, and I ate a lot!

The two teenagers ate everything!

Then Zhao Dabao pulled his younger brother to do his homework and go to sleep!

Seeing the mess, Zhao's mother felt heartbroken, and naturally, her words were harsh!

"How can these two kids eat so much? That's enough for two meals! They're like beggars!"

"Alright, who told your youngest son to be so shameless! He can't even accept this small loss, he's utterly disgusting!"

Zhao's father really disliked Zhao Erdan!

Zhao's mother sighed and said, "Do you think Erdan will still take care of us in our old age?"

"Of course he will! Erdan is kind and soft-hearted! He'll definitely take care of us when we get old!"

Zhao's mother sighed deeply.

"If only our eldest brother were alive! He's so filial, and we love listening to what he says! This second brother, he's really driving us crazy!"

They really hadn't considered that, in terms of filial piety, the second son did far more than the eldest! They favored the eldest son, giving him everything good!

The second son never received anything!

However, the second son has done far more than the eldest son over the years!
