Chapter 120 Grandma’s evil intentions
"Eat slowly, it's hot!" Zhao Mei looked at her mother-in-law cautiously and couldn't help but care about her daughter.
"Mom, why don't you throw a few chopped eggs in it?" Usually the dumpling soup is sprinkled with pepper and a few chopped eggs to make it more fragrant and tender, but this bowl only had some chopped green onions in it.
Li Cuihua was sidelined. She was still wondering how this girl saw through her plan. After hearing this, she immediately turned the tables:
"You have shitty balls here, sheep's balls are better, how can they compare to those at home? I'm not saying anything bad about you, Zhao Mei, but what do you think of leaving your man here to suffer? Aren't you afraid that people will say you don't know how to be a wife?"
"Who doesn't know how to be someone's wife?" Ye Xiaomei put down the bowl in her hand and threw the chopsticks on the table:
"If you hadn't done that unpleasant thing, how could my grandfather have been so angry that he died? After all, my mother did her best to serve my parents-in-law and take care of my father. I don't know who wouldn't be a good wife."
The voice was gentle but with a thumping sound. Zhao Mei was panicking. What she feared most was a commotion in the family, especially when her husband was at home. She followed her mother-in-law's orders and arrangements unconditionally:
"Xiao Mei, please stop talking. Your grandma is just concerned about your dad. Our current situation is really not very good."
"What did you say?" Li Cuihua didn't care. It was obvious that Ye Xiaomei had stepped on her tail:
"Your father deserves to die. Anyone who doesn't take the money is a fool."
Ye Xiaomei felt very sad when she heard this. She wondered if her grandfather would be heartbroken if he heard this in the afterlife.
Ye Xiaomei took a deep breath to suppress her unwillingness. When she was a child, her grandfather loved her the most:
"I won't say anything more to you. Anyway, even if you drag my dad back home today, you'd better give up on your plan as soon as possible, otherwise you will end up with nothing. Even though you are so calculating, I don't see that Brother Huzi and Brother Qiangzi love you that much."
If Ye Xiaomei hadn't considered that her mother was still there, she really wanted to tell Ye Daxiong that Li Cuihua introduced a young widow to him.
Li Cuihua hesitated for a moment. Why was this girl so strange today? How did she know?
"Okay, I don't believe that the son I raised with so much effort won't listen to me." Li Cuihua said as she walked out of the door with her feet twisted in dissatisfaction, and suddenly she yelled:
"Nobita, it's so late and my legs are not working properly. Please take me back. If I fall on the way, you can expect the whole village to scold you for being an unfilial son."
Sure enough, these words hit Ye Daxiong's soft spot. He took a last puff of his cigarette in embarrassment:
"Alright Qijun, I understand what you said. Please take good care of my daughter. I'm leaving now."
Ye Xiaomei let out a long breath and looked at the tall man in the darkness with light in her eyes. She had not expected that this man was so thoughtful and knew how to reason with and appeal to her father's emotions, and he made her father's advice clear to her.
After the others left, Zhao Mei had no time to feel sad, and quickly served another bowl to her son-in-law:
"Qijun, eat it while it's hot. Tomorrow mom will buy some eggs and beat them up. Just make do with it for now."
Ma Qijun nodded and started eating.
Zhao Mei's eyes dimmed instantly. Ye Xiaomei knew what she was thinking. In fact, she didn't want Ye Daxiong to leave. If her mother-in-law's wish really came true, then she would be a woman who was truly driven away. At that time, she would be a widow, and a widow that her husband's family didn't want.
Fortunately, Xiaomei is married, but Xiaoya is only eleven years old this year. If she doesn't have a father, she will be laughed at.
"Mom, don't think too much. Even if Dad goes back, he will definitely bring you and Xiaoya back in glory." Ye Xiaomei said it firmly.
Although Zhao Mei's smile was awkward, Ye Xiaomei's voice was also very confident.
But when she went back, Ye Xiaomei felt sad: "Brother Ma, I have never seen people from our mountain area sue each other for divorce since I was a child."
Ma Qijun was slightly startled: "Filing a divorce lawsuit?"
"Well, I've discovered that divorce is a particularly ugly thing in the countryside. Do you think it's because of psychological problems? For example, fear of being laughed at by others?"
Ye Xiaomei pondered, thinking that no matter what she did, she would not let her grandmother succeed, as her whole life was devoted to her uncle and two cousins.
"It's possible, but there aren't many people who file for divorce in Chaocheng. In our countryside, a large number of people don't have a marriage certificate. As you said, they are not protected by the law, so they can't file for divorce. Why are you asking this?"
Ma Qijun suddenly realized that the topic was inappropriate and asked back quickly.
Ye Xiaomei frowned as if thinking about something: "Then the fact that holding a wedding banquet can prove that you are a legal couple in the past, I think it will be broken in a few days."
It's just the difference between being early rather than late.
"How do you know?" Ma Qijun was driving and turning towards his home.
"I heard from people in the county that the higher authorities have issued a new policy that dilapidated old houses should be rebuilt on the spot, and the higher authorities will provide subsidies. In this way, the land of each household will be rationally redistributed. If a few banquets can prove the rationality of household registration and redistribution of homesteads, this is not in line with the law."
Ye Xiaomei pondered over it and realized that according to the knowledge she had studied so hard for so long, it was indeed not in line with the requirements and even had many loopholes.
Ma Qijun actually took a second look at his wife in the passenger seat. It seemed like a long time since he last saw her. Her learning ability was really not simple:
"Well, that makes sense. But how do you know if there is a new policy?"
Ye Xiaomei was suddenly stunned. She couldn't say that she knew this because she could read people's thoughts uncertainly.
She just saw what was in her grandmother's mind. In fact, Li Cuihua wanted to bring her son back home for a bigger share of the homestead. Of course, she could also bring her mother Zhao Mei back with her.
But what Ye Xiaomei saw at that time was that Li Cuihua was already feeling sullen in her heart - if you have the guts to leave, then never come back.
How could Li Cuihua, the head of the family who has always been proud and arrogant, condescend to let her go back? Moreover, she had also boasted before that she would find another one for the second son.
So, he would rather find a widow than let Zhao Mei go back.
That’s not all. What’s even more disgusting is that she calculated that her father Ye Daxiong had no children, so the housing land would be useless. In that way, she could successfully leave all the housing land to the second son’s family.
"My grandma told me that." Anyway, Ma Qijun was chatting with his father in the yard at that time, so he didn't know whether what was said in the house or not.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei looked at her hands suspiciously. Why did her body feel so strange? She could actually see the thoughts of uncertain people from time to time, and she had not found the pattern yet.
No, when something abnormal happened to her body after her menarche, she must have hidden something inside her that she didn't know about.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei suddenly looked out of the car window. It was so dark that she couldn't see her hand in front of her. She actually felt a little horrified, which made her scalp tingle - could I be possessed by a ghost? If something like that popped up one day, I would be scared to death.
