The jewelry factory didn't receive many orders this year, so we had a holiday a few days in advance. Fortunately, we had a holiday in advance, otherwise the injuries on Li Yang's face would be hard to explain.

She took out Ji Huaizhi's medicine box, applied some medicine for bruises and injuries, and applied cold water on the wound for a long time, but it only reduced the redness and swelling a little.

Li Yang looked at himself in the mirror and sighed. It seemed that he would most likely have to spend the New Year with this face.

She simply covered the mirror on the table and avoided looking at it.

Who cares? No one cares anyway, and she has money.

Thinking of the more than 400,000 yuan in my bank, I suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

Making money is still the most practical thing.

After the Lunar New Year, Li Yang planned to study with Master Tao and officially enter the jade industry. His first step was to quit his job at the jewelry factory. His second step was to use the 400,000 yuan he had earned as startup capital to start his own jade studio while sourcing materials.

Thinking of this, Li Yang's mood improved and he climbed onto the bed happily.

The world is big, but making money is the biggest!

Li Xue has been discharged from the hospital for a few days, and the child was taken back to the Xu family today.

Yes, under the half-threatening and half-confessional attack of Zhang Xiuying and Xu Xiangdong, Li Jianyue and Yu Fengxian finally did not agree to her divorce.

After knowing that she would not get divorced, she felt complicated, but also a little relieved.

She had to admit that she didn't have the courage to divorce as Li Jianyue had advised her, at least not now.

Moreover, she still had a last glimmer of hope for Xu Xiangdong in her heart.

If he really turns over a new leaf and becomes a good husband and father.

However, things did not go as smoothly as she thought.

Before being discharged from the hospital, the doctor repeatedly told her that she had lost a lot of energy during childbirth and must take good care of herself during the confinement period. Zhang Xiuying and Xu Xiangdong also repeatedly assured Li Jianyue and his wife that they would treat her and her daughter well. However, on the first day after returning home, the two of them immediately changed their attitude.

Zhang Xiuying immediately rushed Xu Xiangdong to the unit, saying that work could not be delayed. She herself made an excuse to go out and did not come back all day. As for her father-in-law Xu Weiguo, after coming home from get off work and asking about her, and knowing that she had not eaten all day, he just said: "I'll ask your mother-in-law to cook for you later." Then he went back to the house.

Li Xue had no choice but to drag her cesarean section wound with it not yet healed, endure the pain, and take care of the child and wash diapers by herself. She was so busy that she had no time to eat.

Looking at the thin child, Li Xue shed tears of guilt.

If she had been braver, would things have been different?

On this day, Xu Xiangdong and Zhang Xiuying came home late as usual. Perhaps Xu Weiguo couldn't stand it anymore, so he said a few words to them. Zhang Xiuying then started to argue with them.

She deliberately raised her voice and said, "Isn't it just giving birth to a child? She needs a whole family to take care of her? When I gave birth to Xiangdong and Xiangxi, I went to work in the fields the next day, didn't I? Isn't Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law next door also raising her children at home? Why can others do it, but not her?"

Xu Weiguo hated to get involved in these things. When he saw Zhang Xiuying making trouble with him, he immediately became impatient and said, "Do whatever you want." Then he retreated back to the room.

As for Xu Xiangdong, Zhang Xiuying had moved him to the study to sleep on the pretext that he had to go to work during the day.

At this time, the child who had been coaxed to sleep with great difficulty was awakened by the adults' quarrel and began to cry anxiously. Li Xue endured the pain from the knife wound and coaxed the child in a low voice. She didn't know what she tripped over in her panic, and with a clang, there was a sound of glass falling to the ground and shattering.

Zhang Xiuying said angrily, "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry all day long. You little girl is such a nuisance. Why did we spend so much money to save her in the first place?"

In order to avoid making a big deal out of Xu Xiangdong's matter, the Xu family had no choice but to pay for all the expenses of Li Xue and the child's hospitalization in full. This hurt the Xu family's main artery, and they were even more embarrassed towards Li Xue and the child.

Listening to Zhang Xiuying's vicious curses, Xu Xiangdong just glanced at their bedroom, then walked past the bedroom door and went to the study as if he heard nothing.

Li Xue was holding the child in her arms, walking with difficulty in the room. In her anxiety, she accidentally bumped into the cup on the table and broke it.

She thought Zhang Xiuying or Xu Xiangdong would come in, either to greet the child or to ask what was wrong, but she didn't wait for either of them.

She didn't wait for any of them until she heard the sound of the door closing in the study next door and the lights in the living room went out.

The child was born prematurely and stayed in the intensive care unit for more than half a month. He was more difficult to take care of than ordinary children and she could not let go of him at all. She was hungry for a whole day and even the water she drank was cold.

Li Xue finally couldn't hold it in anymore and she sat on the bed holding her child and sobbed.

After a long time, Xu Weiguo was heard saying something, and then Zhang Xiuying's cursing voice was heard.

Then, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Zhang Xiuying came in with a bowl of plain noodles.

With a gloomy face, she threw the noodles on the table with such force that the soup spilled out: "Eat quickly, otherwise you will have no milk to feed the baby, and it will cost money to buy milk powder!"

Zhang Xiuying's words made Li Xue's gratitude, which was about to come out, choked in her throat, making her feel painful.

She held back her tears and choked out a response: "Yeah."

Seeing that she didn't move, the child started crying again. Zhang Xiuying snatched the child from her arms in annoyance and said, "Cry, cry, cry. All you do is cry all day long. I've never seen anyone cry so much.

The child of the Xiangxi family is not much older than her and is much more obedient than her. I think she is just a debt collector!"

Hearing Zhang Xiuying say this about her child, Li Xue couldn't help but said, "Mom, don't talk about the child like that. She is the granddaughter of the Xu family after all."
