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...
Don't worry about this. We have wronged Jiang Xun before. This time, we have to clarify everything we say to him!"
"Yes, yes, Jiang Xun is a good comrade! There is no doubt about that!"
"Now that we all understand, let's go back and stop standing around here and delaying other people's work," said Aunt Liang.
After the group of aunties left, Ye Li asked the general to take ten yuan from his pocket and give it to Hao Ying.
Seeing the small amount of money in front of him, Hao Ying's face turned green: "Who are you looking down on? Are you giving ten yuan to a beggar?"
Ye Li said sternly, "I'll give you ten dollars. This is my limit. First of all, you two are both responsible for the accident. Why should we bear the responsibility alone? Even if you went to the hospital and spent money on medical expenses, it wouldn't cost that much!"
"Isn't the accommodation fee at the guesthouse money? Aren't they going to compensate me for my mental damages and nutrition expenses?"
Ye Li looked at her with disdain: "It seems that your family is just like this, fussing over trivial matters."
"What are you talking about?" Hao Ying was furious. "Who do you think you are? Why do you point fingers at my family?"
...
...
"Putting aside your family, let's just talk about the nutrition fees and mental damage compensation. My mother-in-law has been taking care of your food and drink these past few days, and even when you went out or went to the toilet, my mother-in-law had to accompany you. As for the mental damage compensation, I think you should pay us! How much trouble have you caused us? The rumors you deliberately spread not only caused us Jiang Xun a loss of reputation, but also caused us emotional harm." Ye Li said slowly.
"According to what you said, I still owe you?"
"Isn't it?" Ye Li sneered, "We're lucky enough that we didn't ask you for these things, but you still have the nerve to ask for them. Giving you ten dollars is already a lot, or if you are more ambitious, you can just not ask for a penny."
"Why shouldn't I want it?" Hao Ying was so angry and embarrassed by what Ye Li said.
"Then take it!" Ye Li threw the ten yuan in front of her and deliberately ridiculed her, "It seems that your family is not that good! If that's the case, don't laugh at our family anymore! You are not much better than us!"
After saying these words, Ye Li turned around and walked out.
"Jiang Xun, hurry up, go and help your wife!"
Jiang Xun quickly followed him out. The couple came down from upstairs and were stopped by the front desk clerk when they passed by the front desk.
"I'm so sorry." The waiter apologized when he saw Jiang Xun. "I didn't know about your relationship before. I only found out about it because of the uproar these past two days. A few days ago, the woman upstairs gave me some money and told me to tell anyone who asked that she had an abortion and was recuperating here... Now I know that I have caused you so much trouble!"
"It's okay, this matter is over. But we still thank you for telling us. If there are any more twists and turns in this matter, we would like to ask you to help testify. Are you willing?" Ye Li asked softly.
"Yes, don't worry, I will definitely show up if you need me to prove it!"
"Then we thank you in advance."
As soon as she came out of the guesthouse, Zhao Xingmei burst into laughter.
"Oh, I've been so frustrated these past few days! Today I finally let out some steam. Li Li made that woman so angry that her face turned red, and there was nothing she could do about it! It's so satisfying, it's really satisfying!"
"Li Li, you are so awesome! You have your own way! Especially when Aunt Liang came out, I was almost stunned!" Jiang Xun couldn't help but keep praising Ye Li.
He never imagined that one day he would have to let his wife vent his anger for him.
"You are a man, and she is coming for you. She sets traps for you in all aspects and leaves you defenseless. As long as you appear at the same time as her, rumors will be flying everywhere. I am different, but... she is indeed quite strange... there is a kind of strangeness that is hard to describe." The more Ye Li thought about it, the more he felt that there was a weird feeling everywhere.
They were two complete strangers, and could be considered to have met by chance. Why did she insist on having Jiang Xun come?
"I asked Ji Lin to help me investigate this matter! There may be results in two days. First, we need to find out who she is."
"Okay, tell me when you get the result."
"That's for sure."
…
Hao Ying did not leave. She stayed in the guesthouse for another two or three days. Only after her foot injury had healed a lot did she limp away.
She went straight to the post office and called her family.
"mom."
"Yingying, why haven't you called me for so many days? Where have you been?"
When Hao Ying heard her mother's voice, tears immediately fell down: "Don't worry about where I go, I'm fine. I called you to tell you not to worry about me."
"If I don't miss you, who will? Stop fooling around and come back quickly."
"Mom, I'm not going back. I...I saw her today."
"Who is it?"
Hao Ying gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Li."
"Are you crazy?" An angry woman's voice came from the other end of the phone. "What are you doing over there? Who told you to meet her privately? Did you say something?"
"I...I'm just curious, okay?"
"Come back here."
"I don't want to go back, I'm living here for a while!"
"Hao Ying, please don't force me to scold you..."
"Mom! What's wrong with me going to see her? I've been speaking up for you for so many years! What do you want?" Hao Ying started to cry as she spoke. "You've served their family for so many years, are you just going to sit there and do nothing but help others? I can't do that!"
"Then what are you going to do? Let me tell you, if you hurt Ye Li, your uncle Guan will never forgive you in his life! He will never forgive us mother and daughter in his life!"
"Okay, let's stop talking. It won't be long. I'll be back before the New Year." After Hao Ying finished asking the question, she was silent for a while and then said, "When will Uncle Guan come out?"
"After the New Year."
"I know, Mom, you don't have to worry about me, let's see each other during the New Year."
Hao Ying hung up the phone, wiped her tears, turned around and left the post office.
A week later, Ji Lin brought useful news to Jiang Xun.
"Brother, I found the information about this Hao Ying." He asked a brother in the household registration section of the Public Security Bureau for help. The policeman looked for the household registration of a woman named Hao Ying in the northwest region based on the information he provided. "Thanks to the fact that this surname is not common, it didn't take too much effort to find it. After some screening, I found someone who meets your requirements. I brought the information here, come and take a look."
