Chapter 122 This Young Widow Is Not a Good Person
They had white rice porridge for breakfast, but Ye Xiaomei's bowl had shredded pork, lard, and some cabbage leaves added to it.
While Wang Lan was clearing the dishes, Ma Qijun winked at his wife. Ye Xiaomei lowered her head, smiled, and extended her hand.
Ma Qijun pulled Ye Xiaomei into the car. When Wang Lan heard the sound of the wheels, she ran out without even bothering to wipe her hands.
"Qijun, you bastard, why didn't you wait for me?" When she chased after him, she only saw the taillights of the car. She was so angry that she cursed her mother:
"You are a bastard who married a wife but forgot your mother."
Ye family.
A large group of villagers gathered at the door.
——Isn’t Zhao Mei still there? Why did Li Cuilan find a woman for Ye Daxiong?
——Yes, you said that the Chinese New Year is so festive, and it seems like we are going to add insult to injury.
——If you ask me, Li Cuilan is heartless. Look at how hardworking Zhao Mei was in previous years. She was busy all day long.
——Not really. When I was young, I carried one person on my back and worked in the fields all day long. When I came back, I also cooked food and drinks for the whole family.
——Even if there is no credit, there must be hard work. At least send Zhao Mei and her husband back home. The Ye family is really incompetent.
Indeed, in the yard, Ye Daxiong sat on the pressure well with his head down, smoking a dry pipe. Li Cuihua took a ladle and hit the water tank vigorously a few times, breaking the ice. She scooped a ladle of water from it and said happily:
"Xiao Qinna, please sit inside first. I'll make you some hot water and make two cups of egg flower tea to warm you up."
The woman in the room was about thirty years old, and was rather big and strong, with dark skin and big hands. In Li Cuihua's words, she looked like a capable and responsible woman.
She looked at the furnishings in the house and frowned obviously. Aunt Cuihua didn't say that her house was so shabby.
"Xiao Qin, why didn't you bring your child?" Li Cuihua added some firewood and asked Wang Minzhi to watch the fire, then turned back to chat with others.
"My mother brought it to me, Aunt Cuihua. Your family doesn't have the three tiled houses you said. Aren't these all mud houses?" And they were dilapidated, with rat holes everywhere at the base of the walls, some of which were blocked with stones.
Li Cuihua laughed so hard when she heard this: "Don't you know that our Meihua Village will be demolished soon? When the time comes, the government will give subsidies for building houses. Then won't we have to rebuild tiled houses?"
Xiao Qin felt more relieved after hearing this, but he just asked, "Why doesn't your son say anything? He just smokes his pipe all the time?"
When Ye Daxiong was mentioned, Li Cuihua's eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose, but she still had to be patient: "My son is an honest man, I'm afraid he would be embarrassed."
What is there to be embarrassed about? He said last night that they are already an old married couple and he still doesn't want to separate from Zhao Mei. What a waste of time.
"Just be honest." Xiao Qin said this and looked outside. The honest man stood up and walked over: "Brother Ye..."
Ye Daxiong didn't even dare to look at Xiao Qin, because he saw him as soon as he entered the room. He was big and strong with a dark face. He looked more ferocious than him, especially his hands that looked like a palm leaf fan. If a fight broke out one day, Ye Daxiong was afraid that he would be beaten to death:
"Mom, I'm going out for a while."
The smile on Xiao Qin's face faded.
"Come back to me. Didn't you see there are guests at home? Where are you going?" Li Cuihua suddenly looked ferocious, baring her teeth as if she wanted to eat the good-for-nothing Ye Daxiong. It went without saying that he wanted to go back to look for that cheap wife again, no, his ex-wife.
With a whoosh, a car stopped in front of the Ye family's door, and the attention of the people watching the excitement was diverted.
"Hey, Xiaomei is back home. How is it? Is there anything different about being pregnant with twins?"
As soon as Ye Xiaomei got off the car, she was greeted with concern and care. It is said that a mother is noble because of her son. The mother-in-law Wang Lan protects her daughter-in-law like a treasure. If anyone dares to say a word against Xiaomei, she would want to tear her mouth apart.
"Auntie, I don't think there's anything different. I can eat and drink." Ye Xiaomei couldn't refuse her fellow villager's face.
"Oh, that's a blessing. I vomited for five whole months when I was pregnant with Goudan."
"Yes, I ate one mouthful and vomited two, and I kept vomiting until I was dead."
Ye Xiaomei saw the burly woman sitting in the main room. Could this be the widow that her grandmother introduced to her father? She tried to see if she could figure out anything.
Ye Xiaomei stepped over the threshold and saw her father, who had been frustrated, sitting on the well again. He didn't care about his cold butt and started smoking a pot of tobacco.
Xiao Mei had already discussed it with Qi Jun, and now he was going to the watermelon field to pick up Zhao Mei.
"It's not a festival, don't say you're here to visit relatives, I've never seen anyone visit relatives empty-handed." Li Cuihua saw that Ye Xiaomei looked like she had seen a ghost, and when she remembered that she seemed to know everything, she simply took the initiative:
"I'm telling you, you're a married lady, and it's not your turn to interfere in the affairs of our Ye family."
"I didn't say anything." Ye Xiaomei walked over to her father and squatted down without saying a word. He turned his head away and didn't look at his daughter:
"Dad, Qijun has gone to pick up Mom. Bring your household registration booklet and go to the county with me later."
Ye Daxiong was stunned: "Why do we need to take the household registration to the county? Can't you see your grandma is making trouble here?" He was still furious. Every time he didn't show filial piety to her, someone would stab him in the back and try to rip him off. He was about to explode with anger.
Ye Xiaomei lowered her voice and spoke word by word: "Dad, I know you know how Mom has taken care of this family over the years, and I also know that you don't want to be separated from Mom. This is perfect. Before the new policy comes down, you and Mom should get your marriage certificate."
"..." Ye Daxiong was slightly startled. How did she know what he was thinking? Indeed, he didn't know before, but now he realized how much Zhao Mei had contributed to this family. Think about the time when he came back, there was a hot meal waiting for her.
Now, Zhao Mei is gone. After traveling for a whole day and night, he didn't even have a cup of hot tea when he got home. He was also scolded and humiliated by his mother, his elder brother and his wife. His face was scratched and bleeding.
And his wife Zhao Mei never complained about his incompetence. She worked hard and was never picky. She was willing to eat anything or nothing. You can't find a woman like her anywhere.
Ye Daxiong gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
After saying that, Ye Daxiong went back to the house.
"Where are you going? Don't even think about leaving today. Xiao Qin is such a good woman. It is a blessing for you to marry her. She is better than your ex-wife who couldn't give birth to a son." Li Cuilan spoke loudly, and the villagers outside crowded into the yard.
Xiao Qin straightened his back and looked at Ye Xiaomei firmly. Aunt Cuihua had told them about the situation of the Ye family. This was the eldest daughter who was married off. Of course, a married daughter had no status in her parents' home.
The second child, Ye Xiaoya, lives with her ex-wife and doesn't need a man to support her. Ye Daxiong works as a miner in a mine, and all the wages of about 300 yuan a month are hers, so her children have food to eat.
Ye Xiaomei had just stepped over the threshold when she saw the widow's eyes slowly change from calm to distorted, and then to extreme fear.
She saw...a lot of information about this woman appeared in her mind.
Ye Xiaomei was so frightened that she shrank back and took several steps backward.
Fortunately, Ye Daxiong had sharp eyesight. He stuffed the household registration booklet into his pocket and grabbed Ye Xiaomei:
"What's wrong, Xiaomei?" Everyone knew that Ye Xiaomei was pregnant. Naturally, the father also knew that he would be the father of twins. If he fell, the Ye family would eat him up and leave no bones.
