Old Mrs. Wu was reborn, returning to an era where her children still depended on her hard work and sacrifice!
In her previous life, she would have shattered her bones and sold her very essenc...
"If she could go back, she would come back. Who would want her in this state? You can do whatever you want, I don't care. I can't bear the shame." The second brother isn't stupid. He can tell that she just wants her family to back her up and send her back. They're divorced, why would anyone want her?
Silence filled the room. The old man sighed deeply. "You two brothers should go with him to the Li family. Xingping is soft-hearted; perhaps he'll stay with her for the sake of the child. I reckon it's his parents who are stopping him. If it doesn't work out, let them separate and live separately. With time, this matter will fade away."
Even if the child is disappointing, he is still our child. Returning to the Li family is the best outcome right now.
"I'm not going. I'm afraid of getting beaten. If she wants to go back, she can go back herself. She can go to the Li family and kneel down and beg." The second son refused. What would he do there? He would be scolded and beaten, and it would be a disgrace. He was not going.
The old man slammed his hand on the table. “No way! Let her embarrass herself at the door. She has nowhere to go. Are you just going to watch her die at the door? As long as Xingsong is willing, you can keep her here. Just bear with whatever the Li family says.”
The second son lowered his head, feeling resentful. "Then why don't you go? What are you sending them for?" But he only dared to think it and didn't dare to say it.
"Alright, go ahead, don't let her embarrass herself at the door," the old man waved his hand.
The two sons left the house with no other choice.
"Big brother, second brother!" Xingping's wife looked at her two brothers hopefully.
The elder brother said, "Go. If the Li family doesn't want you, go out and find work. Find a way to survive on your own and don't come back."
"Brother, Xingping has forgiven me. He even promised to take me to Shanghai. If it weren't for his cousin interfering, we would be in Shanghai by now." Xingping's wife quickly got up.
"Then why did you come back? Xingping has forgiven you, so why don't you just go back with him?" The second brother didn't believe his sister's words.
"Didn't I already say that his cousin is causing trouble? Xingping is wavering again. I can't get through to him on the phone right now, and his third sister-in-law won't let me in. Big brother, second brother, as long as I can see Xingping, I'm sure I can win him over. You just need to help me see Xingping." She was still very confident in herself.
"Let's go and see. It would be best if Xingping could come out, otherwise we can't do anything if they won't let us in," the older brother sighed.
"Brother, you can't say that! You have to help me get in! I'm also a member of the Li family. Why can't they let me in? You have to support me!" Xingping's wife was anxious. What else could they do but support her?
The two older brothers looked at their younger sister speechlessly, "You're divorced."
"So what if I'm divorced? I've been with Li Xingping for over ten years, and we have such a big child. I've carried on the Li family line, I've been a slave to them. You think you can kick me out with just a divorce certificate? There's no way you can get away with that so easily!"
"You're the one who wanted to marry into a better family and get a divorce. What's the point of all this fuss? Just leave. The Li family doesn't want you. Whether you're looking for someone or finding a place to work with room and board, it's up to you. Just don't come back," the second brother said impatiently. What's the point of being so tough at a time like this?
“You think I’m a disgrace now? When I brought Song Shiyu back, you weren’t ashamed. When I helped you make money, you were overjoyed. You weren’t ashamed then. Now you think I’m a disgrace. Once I return to the Li family, I’ll have a share of their farm sooner or later. I won’t fall on hard times. You’re looking down on me too soon.”
When Xingping's wife saw her two older brothers come out, she started turning over their small intestines, and they were no longer kneeling and begging like before.
"Are you just following Song Shiyu? I'm too ashamed to even mention your shameful deeds. If we weren't so embarrassed by your behavior, we would have led the villagers to get the money back. Now we can't even pay back the debts by selling our houses and land, and you still have the nerve to say you're helping us make money. Do you think we'll ever get a chance to make money? Even if you become incredibly capable in the future, we won't take advantage of you. Just don't come back." They were now extremely grateful that they had gotten the money back, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to salvage the situation.
"You're blaming me now because I'm incompetent. If I had let you make money..."
