These neighbors live not far apart.
In addition, the houses in the family compound are spacious but not soundproof.
If Wang Gang's family was arguing, Wen Qiao could hear it clearly from the yard.
"Wang Ronghua, it's up to you whether you stay or leave. I've explained everything to you, but you just don't believe me, do you?"
"Mom and Dad, you saw it too. I just kindly helped Wen Qiao up, and Ronghua made a scene. Now she's even refusing to go back."
Wang Ronghua was so angry she seemed to have burst her lungs, and roared:
"What did you just say? You said I'm not as pretty as Wen Qiao, and not as gentle. You said she can have children, even three in her belly, and that I can't. Aren't all these things you said about me? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Xu Weimin, you should know that if I hadn't married you, would you have been able to become a teacher at the county's No. 1 High School?"
"It was my dad who recommended you to become a teacher."
Xu Weimin reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately bristled.
“Wang Ronghua, you were the one who pursued me relentlessly, and you were the one who asked your dad to arrange this for me. Fine, now you can ask your dad to find someone else to fire me.”
Wang Gang went to work; he's not home.
Knowing that her daughter and son-in-law rarely come home, Li Qin didn't go out to visit anyone this afternoon and stayed at home. She had just gone next door to pack some clothes for her youngest son.
The eldest daughter and son-in-law are talking in the next room.
Why did you suddenly start arguing while you were talking?
"Stop arguing, my goodness! If your father hears what you're saying, you'll both get a scolding."
Xu Weimin also knew that it was not easy to talk about his father-in-law using his connections to get him into the county's No. 1 Middle School.
But he was provoked by Wang Ronghua.
He spoke without thinking.
"Mom, look at Ronghua. She's always so aggressive. She keeps saying those things to me all day long, and I'm so tired of it."
Xu Weimin's words made Wang Ronghua feel a little guilty.
But she still craned her neck and shouted loudly:
"You only became a teacher at the county's No. 1 High School because you married me."
“I’m telling you, Xu Weimin, I’m not going back with you this time. If you want me to go back, you have to call your parents to come and pick me up in person, and you also have to promise me that you will never talk to other women again.”
Li Qin couldn't stand what he was saying.
She nudged her daughter and called out, "Er Ya, pull your sister inside."
Turning around, Li Qin looked at her son-in-law.
“Weimin, you go back first. Ronghua shouldn’t have said those things. But you should also be more mindful of the impact in the future. Ronghua is under a lot of pressure during her pregnancy and childbirth. Don’t say she can’t have children. I’ll find some folk remedies for you to try later…”
Hearing his mother-in-law say that, Xu Weimin calmed down.
"Okay. Mom, you really have to persuade Ronghua. Ronghua doesn't go to work and just stares at me all day."
"I went to great lengths to find her a job in the school cafeteria, but guess what? She worked there for less than half a month, and just because she saw me eating with two young female teachers in the cafeteria, she threw a tantrum and almost beat one of the teachers up."
"I lost my job, and she wouldn't let me tell you about it."
Li Qin was so angry she could grind her teeth, but she couldn't say anything bad about her daughter in front of her son-in-law.
If their daughter is not good, they will discipline her properly behind closed doors.
"I'll give her a good talking to later. This child really doesn't know how lucky she is."
“Weimin, you are a teacher, you know a lot about principles, so please be more tolerant of Ronghua. She may not be very educated, but she genuinely likes you.”
Li Qin chatted with her son-in-law for a few minutes.
Xu Weimin pushed the cart and walked out.
When we passed by Wen Qiao's house, I don't know what he was looking at, but he was craning his neck to look this way.
The walls of their family compound were low, and Wen Qiao happened to be standing in the yard.
Xu Weimin met Wen Qiao's cold gaze.
Yet he shamelessly sat on the bicycle, one foot touching the ground.
He looked at Wen Qiao and said, "Comrade Wen Qiao, I found those textbooks for you. If you need anything, you can ask me for help."
"I am a teacher at the county's No. 1 Middle School. My name is Xu Weimin."
Wen Qiao replied coldly.
