Chapter 963 (Page 1/2)

At nine o'clock the next morning, Tang Lihong, holding her lovely granddaughter in her arms, slowly walked into her daughter Song Jingjing's clothing store.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Huo Yingzi and Huo Yifei, a brother and sister, sitting aside and playing obediently.

Tang Lihong smiled and greeted her daughter, then turned to look at Huo Yingzi and Huo Yifei, and asked Song Jingjing with concern: "Didn't Qingyan take these two children back yesterday?"

Song Jingjing's face was a little solemn, and she replied softly, "Mom, he got angry and left yesterday, leaving the two children behind."

Tang Lihong frowned slightly, she seemed a little surprised by this situation.

After a moment's silence, she took a deep breath and said to Song Jingjing, "Jingjing, your father should ask you to go back to the military region with him and kneel down to apologize to your mother-in-law. Otherwise, Huo Qingyan might really divorce you."

Song Jingjing's face turned pale when she heard this. She looked at her mother in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "Mom, what did you say? Dad asked me to kneel down and apologize to my mother-in-law?"

Tang Lihong looked at her daughter's shocked expression and felt a little sorry for her, but she still sighed and said earnestly:

"Jingjing, this is your fault from the beginning. How can a daughter-in-law hit her mother-in-law? You pushed your mother-in-law down and ran away without caring about her life or death. This is really too much."

Besides, you have already given birth to five children and your face is disfigured. It will definitely be difficult for you to get married again.

So, Mom thinks you should go and apologize to your mother-in-law. This might save your marriage, otherwise, this matter will end badly. Besides, Mr. Huo also knows that you have disobeyed your mother-in-law.

"Mom, if I kneel down and apologize to my mother-in-law, how can I have the face to live in the Huo family in the future!"

"Jingjing, I'll help you look after the children. You can go back to the military area with your father at noon. The children are not here, so it won't affect your image with them."

"How can it not have an impact? Won't my brother and sister-in-law know everything by then?"

"Even if they knew, they wouldn't laugh at you in person. So, do you want to divorce Qingyan, or do you want to continue staying in the Huo family?

If you get divorced, even if you don't have a child to take care of, it's not easy to remarry. Even if your sister-in-law gets divorced, she at least still has a pretty face."

Song Jingjing was silent. She knew that what her mother said was true. She was not as pretty as her sister-in-law. Even if she divorced Huo Qingyan, it might be difficult for her to remarry.

Even if she succeeds in remarrying, she will probably work as a nanny in someone else's home. Being a stepmother is not that easy.

Besides, she quite likes Huo Qingyan. They have lived together for so many years. How could she bear to divorce him?

"Mom, Qingyan didn't say she wanted to divorce me. Could Dad have made a mistake?" Song Jingjing looked at her mother suspiciously, her heart full of doubts and confusion.

Tang Lihong sighed and said earnestly, "Silly girl, Huo Qingyan didn't dare to ask you for a divorce, but think about it, you pushed his mother the day before yesterday, how could he not have any objections?"

Song Jingjing frowned, thinking about what happened the day before yesterday, and felt a little regretful.

She knew that she was impulsive at the time, but she didn't expect it to cause such a big uproar. Her father-in-law is now forcing her to apologize to her mother-in-law.

Tang Lihong continued, "Didn't Qingyan ask you to apologize to his mother yesterday? Because you didn't go, he left both children to you to take care of.

If you don't go to apologize to your mother-in-law, your father-in-law will ask Qingyan to divorce you. The Huo family will raise the children and they say they can't afford a daughter-in-law like you.

Jingjing, you don't want everyone in your circle to know about your rebellious and foolish behavior, right? "

Song Jingjing's face turned pale. She certainly didn't want others to know about this. She bit her lip and remained silent.

Seeing her hesitation, Tang Lihong advised, "You should listen to your father's advice and go apologize to your mother-in-law. They won't beat you, they just want you to kneel down and sincerely apologize to your mother-in-law.

Think about it, when your parents-in-law pass away, you will still have to kneel and kowtow to them, right? Just think of it as kneeling down in advance, it's no big deal."

Song Jingjing knew that what her mother said made sense, but she just couldn't get over it.

She felt that she had done nothing wrong, so why should she kneel down and apologize?

"Mom, my mother-in-law isn't dead yet. Isn't she afraid that I'll send her away just by kneeling?" Song Jingjing's face was full of reluctance, and her heart was full of resistance and dissatisfaction with the actions of her father-in-law and her father.

"Oh, don't say that. Just kneel down and kowtow to her and admit your mistake. Your dad will definitely be there to help you up."

Tang Lihong advised her daughter earnestly, hoping that she could be smarter and ease the relationship between her parents-in-law.

Although Song Jingjing was extremely reluctant, she finally sighed helplessly and agreed when she thought of her child and her family.

"Forget it. For the sake of the children and this family, I'll go with Dad at noon. But, Huo Qingyan's grandfather probably won't go, right?"

Tang Lihong thought for a moment and replied, "Probably not, but if this matter isn't handled properly, he might show up."

Song Jingjing's body trembled violently, as if struck by a chill.

She couldn't help but imagine how her grandfather would handle this matter if he really showed up.

Maybe grandpa would mercilessly let Huo Qingyan hold her head down, first admit her mistakes to the ancestors, and then kneel down and admit her mistakes to the mother-in-law!

Song Jingjing felt a little uneasy when she thought of this. After all, the old man had always been strict and attached great importance to tradition.

Knowing that she had pushed her mother-in-law, he would most likely do the same, and might even take out a ruler to beat her.

Thinking of this, Song Jingjing decided that it would be better to go back at noon. Kneeling down and admitting the mistake for three seconds should be enough.

She didn't want to wait for her grandfather to come out and teach her a lesson, and she didn't want to lose face in front of everyone in the Huo family.

"Mom, I'm leaving these children in your care this afternoon. I think my sister-in-law and the others won't have any objections, right?" Song Jingjing asked worriedly.

"I'll help you take care of the child for a few days. Even if she has any objections, she won't say it to your face. The person we hired will be here tomorrow.

You don't have to worry about the new nanny doing anything wrong. She's the daughter-in-law of my cousin from the same clan, so she's trustworthy," Tang Lihong consoled.

Song Jingjing sighed and said, "Huo Qingyan also said that the three brothers planned to hire a nanny for Mother-in-law, and then they could send Zizi and Feifei back home."

Tang Lihong glanced at Song Jingjing and advised earnestly, "Jingjing, it's better for you to keep the children with you. Your children are already grown up and don't need you to feed them. You just need to prepare delicious food for them.

You'd better not send them back to the military compound. Look at Zizi and Feifei, aren't they particularly attached to your parents-in-law?"

Song Jingjing pondered in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what her mother said made sense.

Huo Yingzi, this annoying girl, always likes to praise her grandparents in front of her, as if they are the best people in the world to her.

This ungrateful person didn't even know who bought her the food and clothes. Moreover, even her son Huo Yifei wasn't as clingy to her as before. Instead, her twin sisters were especially affectionate with her.

The closer you are to your children, the closer they are to you. If you teach your mother-in-law to take care of them, she will only find trouble for you. Her children are grown up and you don't need to take care of them. You just need to provide them with food and drink.

"Mom, you're absolutely right! You have to keep your child by your side so that he can be close to you."

Song Jingjing said indignantly, "Look at that damn girl Zizi. She actually said she wanted to be filial to her grandparents when she grows up, but she never mentioned being filial to you and Dad."

Tang Lihong smiled awkwardly and consoled her, "Forget it, Jingjing. We haven't really taken care of Zizi, so naturally she wouldn't think of being filial to us."

Song Jingjing pulled Huo Yingzi over and said, "Zizi, when you grow up you have to be filial to your grandparents, okay?"

Huo Yingzi was so confused by being dragged, and when she reacted, she nodded stupidly, "Yes, Zizi understands. When you grow up, you must be filial to your parents and grandparents."

Song Jingjing smiled with satisfaction when she heard this. You see, children will only be obedient if you teach them yourself.

"That's right. When you grow up, you just need to be filial to your elders. It wasn't easy for your parents to raise you. It wasn't easy for your grandparents to raise your mother, either.

So when you grow up, you must not only be filial to me and your father, but also to your grandparents. I don't ask you to do anything, just go visit them often when you buy things for them."

Huo Yingzi nodded, "Oh, I see."

Just after eleven o'clock, Song Lei couldn't wait to ask the driver to take him to the door of his daughter's shop.

As soon as the car stopped, he got out in a hurry and walked into the shop in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the door, Song Lei didn't even have time to greet his daughter. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and slapped Song Jingjing hard in the face with a loud slap.

Song Jingjing had never expected her father to suddenly attack her. She was caught off guard and covered her face with her hands. Tears welled up in her eyes and could burst out at any time.

Seeing this, Song Lei not only showed no mercy, but was even more furious. He glared at Song Jingjing and yelled, "You still have the nerve to cry! Look at what you've done! You've brought shame upon me and your mother!"

Tang Lihong originally wanted to go forward and say a few words to ease the tense atmosphere, but when she saw her husband's ferocious look, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and finally chose to remain silent.

At this moment, Huo Yingzi and Huo Yifei, who were playing in the store, were frightened by this sudden scene and burst into tears.

Song Lei heard the children crying, turned around, looked at his wife, and said stiffly: "You stay in the store and watch. Your son will bring you food later."

Then, he turned his gaze to Song Jingjing and said sternly, "Song Jingjing, come with me right now! Go back and apologize to your parents-in-law until they forgive you! Otherwise, forget about being my daughter anymore!"

Song Jingjing sobbed and said aggrievedly, "Dad, how could you hit me for a stranger..."

"It's the father's fault if the son isn't well educated!" Song Lei interrupted his daughter. "You're so rebellious as to push your mother-in-law. That's why I didn't teach you well! You should learn your lesson after receiving that slap!"

…………

Huo Qingci got up in the morning, took out the wheelchair he had used before from the space, and also took some food and a basket of eggs from the space. He pushed the wheelchair to his parents' house early in the morning, had breakfast with his parents, and then took a bus back to the city.

After Xiao Ya got a wheelchair, she no longer had to hop on one leg with a cane. It was convenient for her to go wherever she wanted, and she could even push the wheelchair to chat next door.

Huo Junshan originally wanted to ask the neighbors to help with cooking and washing clothes, but then he thought better of it. There were only three people in their family, and he could handle all the chores.

My in-laws will bring their daughter-in-law over to apologize at noon, so I will cook two more dishes for lunch today.

After breakfast, Huo Junshan rode his bicycle to buy groceries. After buying the groceries, he gave his wife and daughter a few words and went to work.

When it was time to get off work, he hurried home as usual, thinking about going back to cook as soon as possible.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the aroma of food. It turned out that his wife had already cooked the rice and washed the vegetables and put them in a basin, waiting for him to come back and fry them.

He was just about to cut vegetables and cook when he suddenly heard his daughter's voice: "Dad, my second sister-in-law and others are here!" He quickly put down the kitchen knife, walked out of the kitchen and went to the living room.

I saw his daughter-in-law sitting in a wheelchair. Song Lei and his daughter Song Jingjing were standing next to his daughter-in-law, talking about something. When they saw him coming, Song Lei quickly pushed his daughter and said:

"In-laws, I brought my daughter here to apologize to you. Jingjing, why don't you kneel down!"

Seeing this, Huo Junshan immediately understood what had happened.

He frowned and looked at Song Jingjing with a stern face, then said to his daughter Huo Rou, "Rou Rou, go back to your room."

Huo Rou seemed to feel the tense atmosphere and turned pale with fright. She looked at her father, then at her second sister-in-law and her family, hesitated for a moment, and finally ran back to her room obediently.

Huo Junshan turned back to the living room, sat on the sofa, looked at Song Jingjing expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Xiao Song, look at what you have done to your mother-in-law! Now my wife can only sit in a wheelchair!"

Song Lei quickly stood up, his face filled with guilt as he said, "Father-in-law, it's all my fault for not teaching my daughter well. That's why she's so willful, reckless, cowardly, and irresponsible. Jingjing, kneel down and admit your mistake to your parents-in-law!"

Song Jingjing glanced at her mother-in-law with a guilty conscience, and was hesitating at this moment. At this moment, Huo Junshan suddenly stood up, walked quickly to the side, and picked up a washboard from the corner.

"Don't waste time! Look at what you've done to your mother-in-law! Her ankle is broken, and even if it heals, she might still be lame.

This time, you must apologize to Xiaoya sincerely in front of her!" Huo Junshan said seriously.

When Song Lei heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. He couldn't help but start to worry about his mother-in-law's injuries. At the same time, he glared at his daughter fiercely, as if to say, "Look at what you have done!"

Song Jingjing became even more flustered after being glared at by her father. She knew that this matter had become a big deal. Her father-in-law even took out the washboard. If she didn't kneel down and apologize, she was afraid that her father-in-law would just press her head down and make her kneel down.

There was no other way, so Song Jingjing had to grit her teeth and slowly kneel down.

"Mom, I'm sorry! I was wrong that day. I shouldn't have lost my temper and pushed you. It's all my fault... I will definitely control my temper in the future and will never do this again..." Song Jingjing lowered her head and stammered.

However, before she could finish her words, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps.

Song Jingjing's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked back, only to see Huo Qingyan and her son walking towards them quickly.

Song Jingjing suddenly felt as if her face was being roasted by fire, burning.

She never thought that she would kneel down in front of her son and apologize to her mother-in-law. This was really embarrassing!

Her first reaction was to get up quickly, but just as she was about to get up, Xiao Ya suddenly said, "Forget it, forget it, get up quickly!"

Song Jingjing's legs felt a little weak, as if they had lost support, and her body trembled involuntarily.

Just when she was about to fall, Huo Qingyan strode up to her like a gust of wind.

His steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to be stepping on Song Jingjing's heart.

When he walked up to Song Jingjing, he stretched out his hand without hesitation and held her firmly.

The moment Song Jingjing's body touched Huo Qingyan's hand, she seemed to have found support. She relaxed slightly and leaned her whole body on him.

Huo Qingyan quickly reached out with his other hand and held Song Jingjing tightly in his arms so that she could stand firmly.

At this time, Song Lei walked over and patted Huo Qingyan lightly on the shoulder.

Seeing this, Huo Qingyan immediately took the initiative to greet his father-in-law: "Dad, you're here."

Huo Yichen also shouted, "Grandpa!"

Song Lei glanced at his grandson and said with a smile, "Chenchen, go back to your room and play with your aunt."

Huo Yichen was still a little confused at this moment. He never expected that his grandfather would bring his mother back to kneel down and apologize to his grandmother.

This was also the first time he saw his mother admit her mistake, and he couldn't help feeling shocked.

However, facing his grandfather's order, Huo Yichen chose to obey. He turned around and ran back to his grandparents' room.

Song Lei looked at Huo Qingyan and was quite satisfied with him.

He nodded and said, "Qingyan, your wife has been spoiled by me and your mother-in-law at home. You should teach her more in the future!"

Huo Qingyan let go of Song Jingjing's hand and nodded quickly, saying, "Dad, I'll remind Jingjing more often. She might have been a little emotionally unstable recently because of the facial injury..."

Before he could finish his words, Huo Junshan suddenly felt a tightness in his chest as he watched his son and his in-laws being so affectionate and filial to each other. It was as if his throat was blocked by something, unable to move up or down.

He secretly groaned in his heart, thinking that this son was born in vain, he was so ungrateful!

"Okay Qingyan, your father-in-law is here, hurry back to the kitchen and cook." Huo Junshan interrupted.

Song Lei quickly apologized with a smile, "Qingyan, let Jingjing go. You sit down and chat with us for a while."

Song Jingjing was afraid that if she didn't leave, she would be asked to kneel down and apologize again, so she hurried to the kitchen.

Huo Junshan's eyes darkened. He knew what Song Lei was planning. Forget it. He had brought his daughter here in person to apologize. Just forgive them this time!

Huo Qingyan was still worried about his wife, afraid that she would be upset, so he said to his father: "Dad, Jingjing only uses oil and salt when cooking. Let me do it!"

Seeing his son-in-law caring so much about his daughter, Song Lei said with a smile, "Then go ahead!"

Huo Qingyan rushed to the kitchen anxiously. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his wife standing alone by the stove, wiping her tears silently.

His heart tightened, and he quickly walked to his wife and sighed helplessly.

"Okay, my little ancestor, don't cry." Huo Qingyan comforted softly, reaching out and gently patting Song Jingjing's shoulder.

Song Jingjing turned around when she heard the voice and glanced at Huo Qingyan with tears in her eyes. Her expression was truly heartbreaking. She sobbed and said:

"What do you know? I'm already a grown-up, but today my dad slapped me in the face, and he even forced me to come back and apologize to your parents."

Huo Qingyan frowned, his tone becoming slightly more serious. "What you did was wrong in the first place. You should apologize to my parents. If this happened to someone else, they might have taught you a lesson a long time ago."

He paused and continued, "You should be thankful that our Huo family is very reasonable, and that I, as your husband, am not a barbaric or rude person. Otherwise, you would have been beaten black and blue by the three of us brothers and sent directly to the hospital."

At this point, Huo Qingyan softened his tone a little, "It's better for your dad to beat you than for my dad to beat you, right? If I called you to help in the kitchen, you would probably still be kneeling on the washboard, listening to my dad's lecture.

I remember when I was a kid, I made a mistake and my dad caught me and made me kneel on a washboard. Not only did he make me kneel on the washboard, but he also whipped me with a rattan stick until my back was covered in blood.

When my mom saw me being beaten so badly by my dad, she would go to him and cry to him, and then he would stop. You just kneel down for a moment and get up right away, it's nothing!"

Song Jingjing's face was filled with anger. She pushed Huo Qingyan away fiercely with both hands. Her voice was filled with uncontrollable anger and grievance:

"You said you were beaten for kneeling when you were little. I'm already thirty years old, and your parents still forced me to kneel! If your dad hadn't called my dad and said you'd divorce me if I didn't apologize, do you think I would have come back willingly?"

Huo Qingyan never expected that his father would directly call his father-in-law and ask him to discipline his daughter-in-law.

But it’s a good thing this way. His wife never listens to anyone, but she respects her father-in-law’s words.

Just looking at the current situation, she seemed to be a little afraid of his father, otherwise she would not have knelt down so honestly just now.

Huo Qingyan quickly comforted her, "Alright, alright, Jingjing, let's just let this matter pass. Don't be so willful anymore.

And don't worry about the scars on your face. I heard that there is an advanced plastic surgery abroad that can remove all the scars and spots on the face.

Even excess fat can be removed from your body. As long as you're willing to go through the surgery, you can become as beautiful as you want!"
