Chapter 21 Abandoned Woman in the Nineties 1
Chapter 1
"I've worked hard all my life to take care of his mother. How could he do this to me?"
Zhao Xiaoru, wearing tattered clothes, cried bitterly. She sat on the ground with her legs apart, beating her hands repeatedly. "This son of a bitch! If I had known he wasn't dead, I would never have taken care of his mother for so long."
Zhao Xiaoru is a bully at home and speaks nicely, but when it comes to her mother-in-law Zhang Caixia, she is like a quail and can't do anything.
If she had stood up earlier, her two children would not be unable to go to school, and one would not have died and the other would not have been disabled.
Zhao Xiaoru cried loudly, "That bastard Liang Zhiye, why does he live a good life with his mistress while I have to eat coarse food at home all day? I won't accept it. If I could have a chance again, I would also enjoy life, I would eat and drink well. And that evil woman Zhang Caixia, I want her to die a miserable death. They have to pay child support for my son and daughter, yes! They must pay child support."
Zhao Xiaoru and Liang Zhiye met through a blind date. In the 1990s, getting a marriage certificate was not a mandatory requirement.
As long as the wedding banquet is held at home, it is considered a marriage.
After marriage, Zhao Xiaoru gave birth to a daughter and a son.
Like ordinary people, Zhao Xiaoru stays at home to take care of her parents-in-law, children and farmland, while her husband Liang Zhiye works outside to earn money.
At the beginning, Liang Zhiye still sent money home. Although his family was not that wealthy, they could still make ends meet.
But later Liang Zhiye hooked up with the factory director's sister-in-law in the city.
In order to be able to get along with his sister-in-law, Liang Zhiye forged his own death certificate, gave Zhao Xiaoru a few hundred dollars, and sent her away.
However, Liang Zhiye's mother Zhang Caixia was unwilling to give the money. Knowing that her son was trying to marry into a wealthy family in the city, she did not feel guilty at all. Instead, she embezzled the three hundred yuan.
She did not allow Zhao Xiaoru to remarry, and forced Zhao Xiaoru to work as a nanny at home under the pretext of filial piety. She also beat and scolded the two children.
It was not until her daughter was sold for a betrothal gift due to disability, her son died due to lack of medical treatment, and Zhao Xiaoru was kicked out of the house and saw Liang Zhiye and his mistress kissing each other while begging in the city that she completely realized the evil of Liang Zhiye's family.
"Deal done."

"Oh, how unfilial! My son just died, and this slut wants to remarry and take my grandchildren away. Oh, this is so unfair."
Zhang Caixia sat in the yard cursing and slapping the ground with her hands. All she could hear was her sobbing, but no tears were seen.
After receiving the "news of her son's death", she went straight to Liang Zhiye's house and beat the original owner. After the original owner fell into a coma, she ran to the yard and cried, saying that it was not easy for her to raise two brothers as a widow all these years. She also said that the original owner was unfilial and unkind, and she wanted to remarry just after her son died.
It was because of this compliment that the original owner suffered decades of hardship.
Qi Qi rubbed his forehead, which was throbbing with pain. There was a hole on his forehead that Zhang Caixia had made with a hoe. The blood had now scabbed over, leaving a fist-sized blood scab that looked very scary.
Qi Qi's two children, one named Maodan and the other named Goudan, were hiding in the corner and shivering.
Qi Qi struggled to stand up, walked to the door, and leaned against the door frame, looking like he was about to faint at any moment.
Zhang Caixia cursed, "What have I done to her over the years? My son just died, and she's already remarrying!"
"Mom, I don't want to remarry..."
Qi Qi's voice was very soft and too weak to be heard. The villagers noticed Qi Qi's appearance and quickly came up to support him.
They pointed at Zhang Caixia and said.
"Zhiye's mother, please stop arguing. Your son is dead. You can't let Xiaoru live with you for the rest of her life. Besides, she didn't say she wants to remarry now."
"Xiaoru has been filial to you all these years, and it's not easy taking care of two children. She's also sad that Zhiye is gone. Just stop making a fuss. Can't we talk about the future later?"
"No!" Zhang Caixia shouted loudly, "Zhao Xiaoru has to give me a promise today. She can't remarry. She has to take care of me and the two children until they grow up. After the two children get married, or after I die, I can't control her if she wants to remarry. But as long as I'm alive, she can't remarry."
Everyone listened with sympathetic expressions on their faces.
Although, whether Zhao Xiaoru remarries or not is her own choice.
But this is a new society, and old feudal ideas are no longer popular.
Zhao Xiaoru is only in her twenties. Although she has two children, it is not a problem for her to find a partner and live a good life.
"His aunt, I think you've lost your mind. Whether Xiaoru remarries or not is irrelevant. Zhiye just passed away. The important thing now is to hold his funeral."
If Liang Zhiye was a good man, he wouldn't have remarried. But someone from the same village who had returned before said that Liang Zhiye had a mistress outside. If she didn't remarry for such a person, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
They persuaded Zhang Caixia, hoping that she would stop making trouble.
Zhang Caixia, however, didn't take it to heart. "This is our family affair. What does it have to do with you, Zhao Xiaoru? I'm putting this on hold today. You can't remarry. We have to sign a document. Otherwise, I'll sue you!"
Qi Qi sneered.
What for the children.
Zhang Caixia was afraid of losing her as a labor force and wanted to make her a free nanny for life.
Zhang Caixia and Liang Zhiye, mother and son, are both bad people.
Qi Qi gnashed his teeth inwardly, trying to think of a way to cure Zhang Caixia, but his face was filled with weakness and sadness. "Mom, I won't remarry. I'll be Liang Zhiye's for the rest of my life. Even if I die, I'll be Liang Zhiye's ghost."
When the villagers saw Qi Qi being bullied, they naturally wanted to protect her.
"Maodan's mother, don't be so depressed. Your mother-in-law is crazy because Zhiye died. You are still young. How will you live without a man in the future?"
"That is to say, Maodan Niang, you should do what you want. Wait until I introduce you to a good man. But don't really live your whole life without your family. A woman can't live a good life without a man to support her."
"I know all the aunts and mothers-in-law are kind to me, but my mother..." Qi Qi looked at Zhang Caixia and sighed, "This is my fate for the rest of my life. As long as my mother-in-law is not angry, it's fine."
"Let's go and sign a document!"
Zhang Caixia didn't care what the villagers said or what Qi Qi's hesitation meant.
She just wanted to make it impossible for Qi Qi to remarry and make him a free babysitter for her family for the rest of his life.
She thought smugly.
My son is just a fool. What's the point of giving him three hundred yuan? It's even more wrong to send her to marry a second time.
After she leaves, who will take care of the land and wash the clothes?
It has to be her.
Qi Qi was completely under control.
All she needs to do is sign the document, and then even if the Jade Emperor comes, Qi Qi cannot remarry.
Qi Qi held a pen in his hand, with the tip of the pen hovering above the paper. His face suddenly turned back, and his body twisted uncontrollably. His face had a serious expression, and he looked at Zhang Haixia with eyes full of resentment.
Her voice became hoarse, and unexpectedly kept in line with Liang Zhiye's. "Mom, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you that after I die, I want you to treat my wife and children well? This is how you fulfill my last wish!"
The villagers were so frightened that they quickly retreated.
Being possessed by ghosts is not uncommon in rural areas, but it is only seen by some people. Most people have never seen such a scene.
They took out various things in fear to block the way.
Zhang Caixia was so frightened that she staggered and fell to the ground.
Soon, Zhang Caixia reacted.
My son didn’t really die, he faked his death!
Zhang Caixia bravely said, "You are not my son, Zhao Xiaoru. You are just pretending, right? Do you think I will believe you? I am not a fool!"
Zhang Caixia laughed to give herself courage. She laughed wildly and her body trembled violently.
She is just a coward.
Qi Qi stretched out a hand, and the note floated up out of thin air, and instantly turned into powder in mid-air.
At some point, only white remained in Qi Qi's eyes. She suddenly turned her head, and Zhang Caixia felt cold all over.
She sat down on the ground again, hugged herself tightly with both hands, and trembled like a sieve.
Qi Qi said, "I gave you three thousand yuan. Hurry up and give it to Zhao Xiaoru."
"What three thousand!" Ghosts are scary, but asking her to take out money is absolutely impossible. "It's three hundred, so you give me three hundred."
Qi Qi sneered and slowly approached Zhang Caixia, "Yes, it's three hundred, but I've sent you three hundred every month for the past two years!"
She lowered her head and stared at Zhang Caixia, "I only asked you for three thousand, is that more?"
"Your son and daughter don't spend money on food, and your wife doesn't spend money on shopping. All this money has been spent!"
The villagers looked at Zhang Caixia with admiration. If they were in her place, they would never dare to reason with a ghost.
But Zhang Caixia, even at this time, was still thinking about her few thousand dollars.
"Zhiye's mother, it's only three thousand yuan, you should give it to her quickly, your daughter-in-law is possessed and can't bear it!"
Zhang Caixia didn't care about Qi Qi's life or death. "I have no money, and I have no life. No matter what I say, I have no money."
Qi Qi grabbed Zhang Caixia's neck directly. She raised her hand and lifted her into the air. "Give me money, or I will take your life."
It was not until her brain was deprived of oxygen that Zhang Caixia realized that Qi Qi was not joking with her.
"Yes, yes, I'll get the money."
Zhang Caixia squeezed out a few words from her throat. She slapped the back of Qi Qi's hand, only to feel it was as hard as iron.
Bang!
Zhang Caixia was thrown to the gate by Qi Qi. She heard Qi Qi say, "Go get the money, or I'll kill you!"
Zhang Caixia went to get the money cursing, a stack of more than 7,000 yuan, all saved up over the past two years.
Qi Qi didn't take much, just three thousand yuan, and then returned the rest of the money to Zhang Caixia.
After putting the money away safely, Qi Qi's body softened and he fell to the ground.
Everyone hurriedly sent Qi Qi to the bed. Zhang Caixia looked at her wallet with lifeless eyes.
…
"That's not right. My son is not dead. I'm not afraid of a ghost!"
Although she said so, the fact that Qi Qi had just turned the paper into powder out of thin air and had pinched her with one arm and suspended her in mid-air were unchangeable facts.
The only thing she could confirm was that the person who possessed Qi Qi was not her son.
