He quickly walked towards Sun Lanjun, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong with me? Go back and ask your mother!" Sun Lanjun suddenly became excited.
His mother?
Brother Xie's heart suddenly sank, "What happened to my mother? Could it be that she made you like this?"
His mother has a kind temper, especially towards her family members. She would rather suffer herself than let her family members suffer.
He was even more tolerant towards Sun Lanjun's mother. When Xiaoni was born, his mother came to the county town and lived there for more than two years. During that time, Sun Lanjun and his mother had many trivial conflicts.
Sun Lanjun often complained to him about his mother, but his mother never said anything bad about Sun Lanjun in front of him. She never made things difficult for him.
His salary had always been given to Sun Lanjun for safekeeping, and the living expenses were naturally given to his mother by her. He was too busy and never asked about it.
But it was not until two and a half years later that his wife asked his mother to go back. When he asked, he found out that Sun Lanjun had never given his mother living expenses. His mother really had no money, so she had to ask for living expenses. As a result, his wife was afraid that his mother would have to support his brother, so she drove his mother back to the village.
He felt very guilty towards his mother for having let her suffer so much, so he had a big quarrel with Sun Lanjun and gave all the living expenses for the past two and a half years to his mother. From then on, he would take out ten yuan every month when he got his salary to honor his parents.
No matter how good his temper is, he can't help but feel some resentment towards Sun Lanjun over this matter.
Why can she take her salary back to support her parents, but he can’t?
Because of this matter, Sun Lanjun has had conflicts with him many times, and they would argue whenever they talked about it.
After so many times, Brother Xie knew that Sun Lanjun was targeting his mother, so this time he subconsciously thought that it was Sun Lanjun's problem.
Although he tried his best to conceal his tone, it was still full of resentment.
This made Sun Lanjun, who was already on the verge of going crazy, collapse all of a sudden. She rushed over and punched and kicked Brother Xie: "Why can't it be your mother who made me like this? You didn't even ask me, but I think it's my fault? You Xie family members are really too much."
"Then tell me what happened!" Brother Xie grabbed her hand and said in an unbearable tone.
Sun Lanjun briefly explained the situation while struggling, of course she only said things that were beneficial to her:
"...your mother urged me to give birth to a grandson, and I asked her to take care of it, but she acted crazy...Xiao Ni wanted to eat the chicken leg, but Xie Qingxiao directly gave it to his wife, and that woman actually ate it. Then I knew that she was preparing for pregnancy! The reason why your mother refused to come to the county to take care of the child was because she had to take care of her other good daughter-in-law!...She dared to say in front of me that she was partial to Lin Xiangyi...Didn't I tell everyone about their money-making? Then everyone asked me, could I be lying...They beat me, and your good sister-in-law even asked my aunt to kick me out..."
"..."After hearing this, Brother Xie's face turned pale.
Sun Lanjun looked at him and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart: "You also think they are going too far, right? Ah Rong, how could you be so stupid? You actually thought that mother is not partial. That's because you haven't seen how she treats Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi, you..."
"That's enough!" Brother Xie shouted angrily, looking at Sun Lanjun in disbelief, gritting his teeth and saying, "You still don't know where you went wrong!"
Even though he listened to what Sun Lanjun said, he could tell that Sun Lanjun must have been holding back and only said things that were beneficial to him.
He has never gotten along with his brother's wife, Lin Xiangyi, so he doesn't know what kind of person she is, but his mother is not that kind of person at all!
Sun Lanjun was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and beat Brother Xie madly, "Xie Qingrong, you bastard, this is what happened! Are you still a man? You don't even believe me. I am your wife! Your family treated me like this, but you didn't help me and sided with your family? What sin have I committed? I shouldn't have married you in the first place..."
"Calm down for a while and reflect on where you went wrong!" Xie Qingrong pushed her away, his tone cold and his expression exhausted: "I will go home tomorrow and ask about what happened, and bring Xiaoni back by the way."
After Xie Qingrong finished speaking, he turned and left.
He worked all day today and didn't have time to eat dinner. Now he is tired and hungry. He had been planning to come back and make something to eat, but now he doesn't feel like eating.
Sun Lanjun became even more emotionally broken and started shouting and screaming.
"If you are not afraid of embarrassing yourself in front of your neighbors, just keep crying," Xie Qingrong said, turning around.
Sun Lanjun fell silent in an instant, then threw herself on the sofa, continuing to cry with a low sob.
Brother Xie said that he would go home the next day to ask Mr. and Mrs. Xie about the situation, but he was very busy at work and could not spare the time during the day. It was not until 6:30 in the evening that he finally delivered the last package and returned to Longjing Village.
Xie's father, Xie's mother, Xie Qingxiao, Lin Xiangyi and Xiaoni are having dinner.
"Dad!" Seeing Brother Xie, Xiao Ni immediately ran up.
"..." Brother Xie's dusty face broke into a smile when he saw his daughter. He squatted down, picked her up, and greeted his parents, brothers and sisters.
Xie's mother was still angry with Sun Lanjun, and even took some of her anger out on her eldest son. If he hadn't married such a daughter-in-law, how could such a disturbing thing have happened?
But now, seeing how tired he was, she felt sorry for him. She sighed and said, "I knew you would come back today. Let's have dinner first."
Lin Xiangyi pushed Xie Qingxiao, and Xie Qingxiao stood up to get bowls and chopsticks for his elder brother.
Xie's mother anticipated that Big Brother Xie would come back tonight, so she prepared dinner for him. When they were eating, she didn't see him yet, so she specially left a separate portion for him.
Brother Xie looked at his family members who said nothing and the food specially left for him, and felt both moved and guilty.
After finishing dinner in silence, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi took Xiaoni out for a walk. Xiaoni didn't want to go, but was dragged by Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi. Brother Xie also coaxed her to go, so she had no choice but to go obediently.
Xie's father, mother and elder brother were in the main hall. Xie's mother first asked what Sun Lanjun had said to elder brother Xie, and after listening, she told him the whole story.
After hearing the whole story about his relationship with Sun Lanjun, Brother Xie knelt down in front of Mr. and Mrs. Xie.
"What are you doing?" Xie's mother was shocked.
"Mom and Dad, I apologize to you on behalf of my wife. I'm sorry!" Brother Xie kowtowed.
"Hurry up and get up. This is not your fault, and I don't need you to kowtow to me," Mother Xie pulled Brother Xie up and said calmly:
"But it's obvious that your wife and I can't get along anymore, so we'll live our own lives from now on. If she doesn't want to come back, you don't have to persuade her to come back, and I don't want to bother with her if she comes back. When you're free in the future, bring Xiao Ni back to see us, and forget about the rest."
Brother Xie gritted his teeth, knowing that his mother was really disappointed with Sun Lanjun. He wanted to say something on Sun Lanjun's behalf, but in the end he didn't have the face to do so, so he could only nod and say yes.
A few people talked to each other in bits and pieces, and heard the voices of Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi coming from outside.
They were coming back from their walk.
