Chapter 338: The ex-wife and the current wife get along harmoniously, like sisters
Although I had heard from my mother's family that my cousin was not living a good life, I was still shocked when I saw Zhi Hongxia with my own eyes. My cousin was only 35 years old, older than her mother. No one paid attention to her when she went back to her mother's house. She did the most work but was not allowed to sit at the table for meals. My uncle and aunt still disliked this daughter as always.
Zhi Hongxia couldn't bear it anymore, so she invited her cousin to her parents' home for dinner and had a heart-to-heart talk with her. Only then did she realize how miserable her cousin's life was in her husband's family.
"My cousin hasn't had a child in years. Her family treats her like a slave and doesn't even treat her like a human being. They call her a hen that can't lay eggs. My uncle and aunt don't stand up for her and say she deserves to be beaten for not being able to have children."
"Why didn't your cousin resist? Being unable to have children isn't just a woman's problem. Maybe it's her husband who can't have children?"
Li Guimei frowned, thinking that her cousin was too weak. If it were her, she would definitely beat the whole family so hard that they could not get out of bed.
Zhi Hongxia shook her head helplessly. "My cousin has been honest and timid since she was little, and she's uneducated. She always felt she owed her husband's family a debt of gratitude, and worked tirelessly like a slave. I had a lot of trouble convincing her and even introduced her to help Xiao Luo. She agreed, but the family disagreed and locked her up."
"Why don't they agree? They're detaining people at will. They're breaking the law."
Li Guimei was furious. If her own sister was treated like this, she would definitely pick up a weapon and fight. No one would have an easy time!
"In my hometown, in the mountains, no one knows the law. The villagers even said that my cousin was wild and deserved to be beaten by men!"
Zhi Hongxia sneered. This was also the reason why she was unwilling to return to her parents' home. She had finally managed to escape from the ignorant and feudal mountains and had no attachment to her hometown.
"How is your cousin now? Can she still come out?"
Luo Xinxin asked with concern.
"I asked my brother to bring people to the house, and they have rescued the person. He just needs to recover for a while." Zhi Hongxia sighed.
"Why doesn't she get a divorce?"
"We can't get divorced. That family doesn't agree. They just want to suck my cousin's blood until it's dry." Zhi Hongxia said gritting her teeth.
The whole family depends on her cousin for support. If she divorces him, where can she find an obedient and hardworking woman to suck her blood from?
Luo Xinxin frowned. Although her cousin was a little weak, she couldn't blame her. She had been treated as a weakling since she was a child and had no support from her family. It would be difficult for her to be strong after getting married. However, her cousin was still lucky. At least she had a cousin like Zhi Hongxia who was willing to help her.
There are many women like my cousin in the mountains who cannot escape the fate of being blood bags from birth to death, and they don’t even have a name.
Luo Xinxin suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility. She quickly asked, "Sister-in-law Zhi, has your cousin got married?"
She also lived in the mountains in her previous life. Many people did not get a marriage certificate when they got married, and holding a wedding banquet meant they were married. Many couples never had a marriage certificate until they died.
Zhi Hongxia was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said excitedly, "They probably didn't get a marriage certificate. Many people in my hometown don't get a marriage certificate. To get a marriage certificate, you have to go to town, walk dozens of miles along mountain roads, and you have to pay a registration fee. No one in the village wants to get one."
Li Guimei slapped her thigh and said, "Why get a divorce then? Just leave. We don't have any children anyway, so we're free!"
"That's right. Let your cousin recover from her injuries, leave quietly, and never come back."
Luo Xinxin also meant the same thing. There was nothing to miss in her hometown anyway, so why go back?
After this cousin comes, if she likes her, she can stay and help her take care of the children. When the children grow up, she can arrange for them to work on the farm, which is definitely better than staying in her hometown.
"Okay, I'll write a letter back home right now."
Zhi Hongxia suddenly understood and looked excited.
"Isn't there a telephone in your hometown?" Luo Xinxin asked.
"No, I have to go to town to make a phone call."
Zhi Hongxia shook her head. The best thing she had done in her life was to insist on studying. Although she only graduated from elementary school, it was because of her education that she had the opportunity to marry her husband. Otherwise, she would have suffered in the poor, backward and ignorant mountain village like her cousin.
She couldn't wait even a minute and ran back to write a letter.
Luo Xinxin and Li Guimei continued walking. They didn't go far and just circled downstairs of the family building.
"Sister Xiang is here!"
Li Guimei shouted excitedly. Luo Xinxin looked up and saw Xiang Ermei driving a carriage towards them.
Xiaohong was very happy to see her and stretched her big head hard to ask for a touch.
"Be good and eat candy!"
Luo Xinxin took out a few candies from her pocket, peeled them and fed them to Xiaohong.
Xiang Ermei took a basket from the carriage and said with a smile, "The farm just slaughtered a pig. I made some blood cakes and pig blood meatballs. Guimei said you like them."
"I really love to eat. I've been craving it these past few days!"
Luo Xinxin's eyes lit up. The pig blood meatballs and blood cakes were Li Guimei's. She didn't eat them herself and gave them all to her. Unfortunately, it still didn't satisfy her craving.
"I'll do it after you finish eating."
Xiang Ermei was carrying a basket to bring the baby into the house, and Li Guimei hurried to take it. The two looked very familiar with each other and even started chatting about the children.
"Chunlan's shoes fit her feet perfectly. She also said that the shoes you make fit her feet better than mine."
"This child is sensible and knows how to say nice things."
"How's Peng Shuangcheng? Did he give you any trouble?"
"He doesn't dare, and he can't beat me, so he has to rely on me to serve him."
"Hurry up and have a baby. His three sisters are not easy to deal with, so be careful."
"Don't worry, I'm not someone you can easily bully. I'll beat anyone who dares to provoke me!"
Li Guimei waved her fist, she is not a pushover.
She said to her second sister enviously, "You're better than me. I only knew how to swallow my anger and was bullied by them for more than ten years. If I hadn't met Xiao Luo, I would have been a fool and worked like a slave for the Peng family!"
"It's not your fault. It's your parents who are not good enough. My father is a teacher at the commune middle school. He doesn't discriminate against boys. My sisters and I all went to school and learned a lot."
Li Guimei is particularly proud when she talks about her father. Her father is not only educated, but also respects women. He never loses his temper at home, never beats his wife, and treats his son and daughter equally. Men like her father are rare in her hometown.
"Sister, you are blessed!"
Xiang Ermei was particularly envious, she also wanted a father like this.
Her father is uneducated and has a bad temper. He only cares about his sons and thinks his daughters are just a waste of money. Even if they die, her father won't shed a tear.
"You are also lucky, otherwise how could you meet Sister Luo? Things will definitely get better and better in the future." Li Guimei comforted.
"Yes, my blessing has also come."
Nodding to her second sister, she was content.
Luo Xinxin looked at the two of them talking and laughing. If you didn't know, you would think they were sisters. It was really rare to see an ex and a current couple getting along so harmoniously.
If Peng Shuangcheng saw this, he might be so angry that he would be hospitalized.
The more Luo Xinxin thought about it, the happier she became. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then her stomach ached. At first she didn't pay attention to it, but her stomach hurt more and more, and a hot liquid flowed down her pants.
Oh my god, she actually peed her pants!
