Chapter 212: Numbness and Despair



Hu Lili raised her hand and greeted Shen Hongmei: "Hello, Comrade Hongmei, my name is Hu Lili, and I'm glad to meet you."

Shen Hongmei was only stunned at first, and then returned to her silent state.

Hu Lili was a little stunned and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

In order to ease the atmosphere, she took the initiative to look at Zhao Changgui: "Are you Comrade Hongmei's father-in-law? Hello, I am Hu Lili."

Being mistaken for a younger brother, Zhao Changgui's face darkened, but in the next moment he looked at Hu Lili and smiled sinisterly: "I'm not her father-in-law, I'm her man!"

Hu Lili was so shocked by Zhao Changgui's words that she covered her mouth with her hands, and her eyes moved back and forth between Zhao Changgui and Shen Hongmei in disbelief.

The man in front of me is more than qualified to be Shen Hongmei's father, so how could he be Shen Hongmei's man?

The version Hu Lili heard from Wang Huilian was that Shen Siyue and Shen Hongmei had once been competing to marry Zhao Changgui.

So even though Zhao Changgui's name sounds a bit tacky, she always thought he was a handsome guy!

I didn't expect that he was such an old man!!!

Hu Lili almost suspected that there was something wrong with her ears and she had heard it wrong.

What kind of girl would want to marry a man like this? Is she mentally ill?

Especially the bruises on Shen Hongmei's face, which further proves that this man also beats women.

Hu Lili turned to look at the other members of the Shen family, and seeing that no one objected, she had no choice but to accept this fact.

At the same time, she also cast a sympathetic look towards Shen Hongmei.

If it were her, she would rather hang herself than marry a man like this.

"Haha, hello, hello, well, you guys chat, I won't disturb you!"

Hu Lili forced a smile and made up an excuse to slip away.

Her departure took away the tense atmosphere.

Chen Chunshu invited Zhao Changgui to sit on the kang and asked Wang Huilian to pour hot water.

Wang Huilian was anxious to know what had happened to her daughter, so she pushed the task to Li Xiang.

"Second brother's wife, please help me greet Changgui. I have something to talk to Hongmei about."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Xiang to refuse, he pulled Shen Hongmei to the west room.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Hu Lili who was sitting on the kang.

The west room, which used to belong to the Shen family's main branch, has become no longer a place for whispers since Hu Lili came.

Wang Huilian looked at Hu Lili with a bad expression: "Hu Zhiqing, can you go out for a walk? My daughter and I have something to talk about."

Hu Lili knew that she had no right to refuse. After all, this was someone else's home, so she did not act like a troublemaker this time, but went down to the ground happily.

"Then I'll go out for a walk, you two can chat!"

Seeing Hu Lili was gone, Wang Huilian was about to take off Chen Hongmei's cotton-padded jacket: "Let mother see, are you injured?"

As a result, Shen Hongmei suddenly stepped aside and avoided Wang Huilian's hand.

"What does it matter if I see it? What does it matter if I have it or not?"

Shen Hongmei was just like a doll without a soul, and her words were full of deadness.

Wang Huilian was so angry that she hit her shoulder: "What can you say? I feel sorry for you. I waited for you all day yesterday, thinking you would come back on the second day of the Chinese New Year. In the end, you didn't. Don't you know how worried I was?"

Shen Hongmei slowly turned her head and looked at her mother. It was because she asked if she could go back to her mother's home yesterday that Zhao Changgui remembered the incident of being seen naked in Dongliang Village.

He pinned Shen Hongmei down and beat her until he was tired.

This is also the reason why Shen Hongmei did not come back yesterday, because she was beaten and couldn't get up.

I thought Zhao Changgui would not come to the Shen family again during the Chinese New Year, but unexpectedly, Zhao Changgui said early this morning that he wanted to take her back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings.

Shen Hongmei didn't know why Zhao Changgui changed his mind, so she could only follow him back mechanically.

But looking at the pain and tears on Wang Huilian's face, Shen Hongmei was not moved at all.

Every time she was beaten by Zhao Changgui, her mother had this expression on her face, looking concerned and distressed.

But when it is time to send her back to Zhaojiawan, she will be sent back without mercy.

At this moment, Shen Hongmei didn't know why she wanted to go back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings yesterday.

There is no one in this family worth her care!

Wang Huilian felt distressed when she saw that the young woman looked like an old lady in her forties or fifties.

She stroked Shen Hongmei's hair and whispered to her: "No matter what, you have to get pregnant as soon as possible. Maybe when you have a child, Changgui will not do it?"

"I've told you this many times. Do you want to take it to heart? I'm doing this for your own good!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Hongmei suddenly burst into laughter when she heard this.

She lay on the kang, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

Wang Huilian felt a little confused. What was so funny about giving birth to a child?

But Shen Hongmei started crying again while laughing.

He kept repeating: "Child? Child? My child? Hahaha..."

Wang Huilian was frightened when she saw her crazy look, and she quickly helped Shen Hongmei up.

He then began to tell her how couples should get along with each other, and how to control the four children of the Zhao family.

After Shen Hongmei stopped crying, she returned to her previous dazed state.

Wang Huilian was so angry that her throat was boiling, but she didn't get a single response from Shen Hongmei.

She was so angry that she took a step to the side and said, "You, you, why don't you listen to your mother? I'm your mother, how can I harm you?"

The atmosphere in the west room was very tense, and it was even more awkward in the east room.

Chen Chunshu and Old Man Shen originally thought they could chat with Zhao Changgui about family matters, but they didn't expect that Zhao Changgui would refute whatever they said.

The two of them couldn't continue talking and could only sip the hot water.

Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Zhao Changgui directly called out to Wang Huilian in the west room.

"Mom, let's start cooking. Hongmei and I have walked such a long way and we are hungry."

Not only were the people in the east room stunned, even Wang Huilian in the west room was surprised.

Zhao Changgui came with Shen Hongmei empty-handed, and they were also dragging two children with them. How could he have the nerve to ask his mother-in-law to cook for him?

Why is his face so big?

But Zhao Changgui didn't feel embarrassed at all. After shouting, he leaned against the wall and looked at the Shen family meaningfully.

"Grandpa and dad, you guys have such a comfortable life. You can earn 8 yuan by marrying a girl. All you have to do is spread your legs! Hahaha."

Zhao Changgui's dirty talk finally angered Shen Qiushu: "Keep your mouth shut, do you think this is your bed?"

As a result, Zhao Changgui did not restrain himself at all. Instead, his next words directly made the Shen family angry.

"Why are you so protective of your sister-in-law? Isn't it true that there is nothing more delicious than dumplings, and nothing more fun than your sister-in-law?"
