Chapter 65: Can a widow be bullied?

She looked around at the quarreling group of people indifferently, then said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to say such harsh words.

When I suggested that grandma come to look for Xiao Ai when she wanted the house, I consulted the family and everyone agreed at that time.

My brother even said that when the house is back, we should all move out and leave this house for you two to live in. So there's no such thing as me getting the benefits and you getting the bad ones."

She sneered, "What good can I get? A house or money? Whether it's this room or Shi Xiaoai's, if I really come here, who will give me one? At that time, I just wanted to help my mother vent her anger because I saw that she was so wronged, but now I'm the one who's blamed."

"I agreed? You didn't discuss this with me, you deserve it!" Sun Yueying would not suffer any loss, so she immediately retorted sharply.

Shi Xiaomei ignored her and turned to look at Shi Yunpeng: "Dad, this matter can't be fooled away. Shi Xiaoai said that she would go to the court to file a case, and if we don't pay, the court will enforce it.

My grandma and her family have a criminal record at the police station, and the factory even specifically talked to you. If a case is filed, we're definitely not in the right. If someone from the court comes... the embarrassment is a small matter, but I'm afraid we won't be able to live in this house anymore."

"What do you mean? What does this have to do with our house?" Shi Yunpeng sat up straight.

Of course he didn't want to give the money.

As long as he doesn't have to pay, he'll do anything.

He was prepared to stick to his guns and refused to agree.

Anyway, he and his wife are about to leave, and his son has lost his job. The family has been punished enough. What else can Xiao Ai do to them if he really doesn't give her that opportunity?

At worst, you won’t have money, but you’ll lose your life!

Let her kill her second uncle to pay off her debt!

But when it comes to houses, Shi Yunpeng can't sit still.

This is the root of their old home!

Although they were going to the northwest, Shi Yunpeng didn't want to settle down there. He would retire in a few years, and the couple would definitely have to come back then.

How can I survive without a home?

Besides, where would they live without a son?

When she heard that it was related to the house, Sun Yueying realized the seriousness of the matter and dared not jump around anymore.

She moved her stool forward, looked at Shi Xiaomei and asked impatiently, "Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me what you're up to now!"

Shi Xiaomei ignored Sun Yueying. She looked at Shi Yunpeng and continued, "Dad, have you forgotten what the union said when they came to talk to you? They said it's best to end this matter here and not continue to make a fuss. If anything gets out that brings bad reputation to the factory, they'll fire our whole family for affecting the unity between the army and the people."

"That's just to scare us!" Shi Yunpeng replied unhappily.

He clenched his fists and cursed, "I've toiled like crazy at the chemical plant for decades, and he really dares to fire me? Bullshit!"

Shi Xiaomei didn't even raise her eyelids, and said calmly, "It's hard to say. You've worked so hard for almost thirty years, and in the end, you were transferred to the northwest. The country is at war right now, and my cousin-in-law is a hero..."

"Then you still dare to argue with others?"

Sun Yueying couldn't stand it anymore. She thought about what happened in the past few days and how much her man ate. She was suddenly furious and grabbed an enamel teacup on the table and smashed it towards Shi Xiaomei!

Shi Xiaomei subconsciously dodged to the side, and the teacup fell to the ground with a bang, splashing water everywhere.

It splashed all over the face and body of the person next to him!

"Sun Yueying!" Shi Yunpeng was completely annoyed.

He wiped the tea foam that had splashed onto his face and shouted, "Who knew she'd married a soldier back then? Everyone thought she was a widow..."

"Can you bully a widow?" Sun Yueying is not someone to be trifled with, she will not bow her head.

She directly retorted: "She's a widow with two children, and you guys are bullying her. Aren't you just asking for trouble? You're her uncle after all!"

"You still have the nerve to yell at me?" Sun Yueying cursed disdainfully, "With a crooked upper beam, the lower beams are crooked. No wonder he raised such a good daughter! Don't you understand what she means? Although it's difficult for the factory to fire regular employees, they can do something about the house.

Shi Xiaomei is a temporary worker. If you leave, you will definitely have to get a house at the Northwest Factory, right? Regardless of whether the house is good or bad, it is only logical for the factory to take this one back because one family cannot occupy two houses!

"You'll have a place to stay then. What about me and Daxi?"

Sun Yueying became more and more angry as she spoke. She stood up and rushed towards Shi Xiaomei!

"I'm going to fight you! You bastard, how can you be so mean! Why don't you go and fight with the family of a soldier?"

She cursed in a foul language, and her words became more and more unpleasant.

If Shi Daxi had not seen that the situation was not right and hugged her waist as quickly as possible, Shi Xiaomei would probably have had several scratches on her face by now!

Shi Xiaomei didn't expect her sister-in-law to be so rude. She stood up and jumped aside in shock.

Seeing that Sun Yueying wanted to tear her face off and eat it, she gritted her teeth and said, "Stop arguing. I'll pay you back!"

As soon as these words came out, all the noise in the room stopped abruptly.

"Xiaomei, where do you get so much money?" Zhao Cuihong, who was afraid of being implicated and quickly shrank into the corner and acted like a invisible person when there was a noise, shouted in surprise after hearing this.

Although she favors her son, her daughter is also her own flesh and blood, and she doesn't want her to suffer any injustice.

"Why do you care where she got the money? She's so cunning, she might have saved up her dowry without telling her family."

Sun Yueying would not let Shi Xiaomei's words fall on deaf ears, and immediately followed up: "You said it yourself, so it's settled..."

"Don't be impatient." Now that she had expressed her thoughts, Shi Xiaomei became calm again.

She said: "I said I took the money because I didn't want to make things difficult for my parents, but that doesn't mean I'm rich."

She glanced at Sun Yueying and said, "I've been back in the city for less than two years, and I've only been working as a temporary worker at the chemical factory for a few months. I only make 23.6 yuan a month. How can I possibly save for a dowry?"

"I don't care..."

"Dad, you and my brother each give me 100, and I'll pay the rest. Let's ask the union to mediate and tell Shi Xiaoai that this is all the money we have at home. Give it all to her, and the rest can be deducted from my salary every month. I'll take on this debt!"

"Then how many years are you going to carry it on your back? You're not going to get married?!" Zhao Cuihong screamed.

"Then what should I do?" Shi Xiaomei gave a wry smile, revealing her pitiful expression again: "If I don't carry you, who else will?"

Zhao Cuihong didn't dare to speak.

She is the only one in the family who has no job and no income, and she holds her husband's salary in her own hands.

Normally she dares to join in the discussion, but when it comes to money she has no right to make the decision.

"Why should we take the money? I don't have..."

"Don't stay here if you don't pay!" Shi Yunpeng was really annoyed at this moment.

Seeing that Sun Yueying was still trying to make trouble, he slammed the table and stood up: "If you don't want to take the money, I will go to the factory and ask them to return the house!"

Sun Yueying stopped talking.

Shi Xiaomei glanced at her father in surprise. She didn't expect him to stand up and speak for her. She thought it would take some more effort.

But things finally went smoothly according to her ideas, and she showed a look of satisfaction.
