Her misogynistic mother accepted a high-priced bride price and married her to a man with disabled legs. She was ridiculed for half her life. Facing the婆婆's (mother-in-law's) constant nitpic...
"You...what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhuang Shihong denied in panic, "Who told you that? It's not true at all!"
"I'm not talking nonsense! The post office has kept records of my father's remittances over the years. I've checked! The evidence is right in front of you. Are you still going to deny it?"
Faced with Ye Li's affirmative statement, Zhuang Shihong was really choked!
Because Ye Li guessed it right!
Ye Li had never thought that he could pierce through her disguise with just one needle and expose the truth.
I just wanted to trick her before.
"Mom." Jiang Xun, who had been paying close attention to the development of the situation, spoke up to defend Ye Li. In just one sentence, he expressed all the grievances and sufferings that Ye Li had suffered over the years. "I am now somewhat doubtful whether she is your biological child! Could she be the daughter of your enemy?"
"I've never seen a mother like this! Even if you favor boys over girls, you wouldn't do this. What do you think of your daughter? Are you trying to suck her blood dry?" Zhao Xingmei interjected at the right time.
Generally speaking, when her in-laws come to make trouble, she won't interfere too much.
...
...
Unless Ye Li can't stand it anymore.
Now, after hearing what Ye Li said, she couldn't help but speak up for her daughter-in-law.
"Oh, is this something a biological mother would do? She used the biological father's money to support her own family, but in the end she didn't spend a penny on Ye Li! Wow, I'm really eye-opening!" Aunt Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
She was not speaking on Ye Li's side, but the neighbors in the yard all said that she was unreasonable and that she went too far. Now she wanted to let everyone see what was considered excessive!
"You can't be so biased, can you?"
"Look at what happened. I wonder how wronged some good people think she is?"
The neighbors in the yard all spoke up for Ye Li because this matter was really too much.
Everyone knows about the fuss that happened a few days ago when Aunt Zhuang came over. The reason why Ye Li was willing to marry Jiang Xun without asking for any dowry was because her family thought that Ye Li had a terminal illness.
In order not to take care of Ye Li's medical treatment and not to take care of Ye Li's affairs after her death, she was in a hurry to marry Ye Li to Jiang Xun.
Before this, the bride price they offered was ridiculously high.
Ye Li has been making money for her family for so many years. Now that she is married, she has to be controlled by her family. The neighbors can't stand it.
In fact, if we talk about it carefully, everyone does feel that Ye Li's life is not easy, and he is so unlucky to have such a mother.
As for this other aspect, if you count carefully, most of the women in this courtyard are mothers-in-law, so they naturally stand on the side of the mothers-in-law and target Aunt Zhuang.
"Mom, listen to this. Over the years, you have used all my dad's money to support other people, and not a penny has been spent on me! If it weren't for my insistence on studying, I would never be able to work in the factory today!"
"Speaking of studying, wasn't it your father Ye who paid for your education?" Since her true colors had been exposed, she didn't bother to hide it and simply played the villain to the end. "You should be grateful to your father Ye. If he hadn't persuaded me, I would never let you go to school! You should thank him! Just for this reason, you should also pay for his medical treatment!"
"How funny! You took my dad's money and didn't allow me to go to school! Dad Ye asked me to go to school, but he had no choice, right? Then let me ask, did the letter mention my graduation certificate and diploma? If it didn't have this, the other party would refuse to remit the money. Am I right?"
"This..." Zhuang Shihong was completely controlled this time.
She couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.
It was too late, and Ye Li didn't have the energy to argue with them. She sighed tiredly: "You guys go!"
"Are you going to chase us away? Ye Li, this matter won't end so easily! If you don't give me the money, I will die here in front of you today!" Zhuang Shihong said fiercely, "I am your mother, and if I ask you for money, you have to give it to me! If you don't give it to me, you are breaking the law!"
Ye Li's heart skipped a beat. She really underestimated her mother's thoughts.
"I can't give you money!" Ye Li said to Zhuang Shihong word by word, "You came at an unfortunate time. I just went to the hospital to pay the bill today! Jiang Xun needs surgery on his leg, and the surgery costs 5,000 yuan! I paid part of the money as a deposit first! Now I still need a lot of money. I have borrowed money from my mother-in-law and Jiang Xun's colleagues. I really can't get it together to give to you!"
"What? What did you say?" Zhuang Shihong didn't believe a word he said. "His legs are paralyzed, why is he still doing surgery? You're just throwing money away! Ye Li, you're not lying to me, are you? You're lying to me on purpose just to avoid paying me!"
"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask the neighbors in the yard. They all know that Jiang Xun is going to have surgery!" Ye Li softened his tone.
She discovered that Zhuang Shihong had a hold on her. For now, she decided not to escalate the conflict. Once she had resolved her weak spot, she would no longer be able to be held hostage by others.
"Really?" Ye Chunwang asked the people around him.
"real!"
"I didn't lie to you."
Jiang Xun and Ye Li saved money for Jiang Xun's surgery, and everyone in the compound knew about it.
In fact, everyone talked about it behind his back, thinking that Ye Li's move was a waste of money and completely meaningless.
If this paralysis could be cured, it would have been cured four years ago. Why would we have to wait until now?
The longer you wait, the less hope there is for good.
"I don't believe what you say, you...you say it! I will believe what you say!" Ye Chunwang pointed his finger at Aunt Jiang.
This old lady is not an easy person to deal with. Ye Chunwang has seen her temper and knows that she looks down on Ye Li.
So, Ye Chunwang asked Aunt Jiang to speak.
Everyone knew about this, and Aunt Jiang naturally knew about it too.
She can only say that this is true. If she doesn't admit it, then no one will be able to see her, right?
"Yes, they did say they wanted to treat the legs."
After hearing what Aunt Jiang said, Ye Chunwang had no choice but to believe it.
She turned her head and looked at Zhuang Shihong: "Mom, what should we do?"
Zhuang Shihong insisted: "You only have your man in your eyes, not your father? You treat his illness, but not your father's?"
"You are wrong. I have already paid the money, how can I give it to you? Besides, I knew about this matter first, and you asked me for money later! I am not a god, I can't predict the future, and I can't just blow out a bunch of money, what do you want me to do?"
"You borrow money!"
"Then why don't you borrow? You and dad are both working, Ye Mei and Ye Chunwang are grown up, don't you have more money than Jiang Xun and I? You can't even raise enough money, how do you want me to? I have no choice, unless you force me to death!" Ye Li put on an attitude of, I have no money, you can do whatever you want.
Zhuang Shihong was really going to be mad. Damn little girl, can't I control you?
"Okay, if you say that, I will not live anymore! Remember, it was not your mother who forced you to death, but you who forced your mother to death!" Zhuang Shihong yelled and was about to bang his head against the wall.
