Chapter 289 Such a Cruel Heart
Wei stared at him blankly, angry and embarrassed:
"I've already said I'll change, why are you still holding on to it? After all, Peng'er, Yinhua and I are not as important as your little sister! When we were poor before, you always gave her the good food first! We were crying from hunger, but you didn't take it seriously."
"Now I just offended her a little bit, and you want to kill yourself! What's the matter, are the three of us so worthless? Are we inferior to her?"
"Okay, everyone knows that you brothers dote on your sister, and today you're divorcing her for her! You're all great! Divorce her! Divorce her!"
As he said this, Wei burst into tears.
"You——" Ye Erquan was so angry that his body was shaking. "What happened in the past is a long time ago, and I have compensated you with my actions. What else do you want?"
"Is it because the ninety taels of silver per month is not enough, or is it because this big brick and tile house is not comfortable? Do you have to scheme against someone else's daughter? I told you before that you are not allowed to scheme against Jin'er's marriage! Why don't you listen? If I don't divorce you today, I am not surnamed Ye!"
After saying that, he brushed her hand away fiercely.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Wei suddenly rushed towards the wall not far away.
"Oh!" Old Mrs. Ye, who had just entered the room, screamed.
Yinhua also came back at this time, carrying two bundles of firewood. She had gone up the mountain to chop firewood, and had just come down when the villagers she met on the way told her all the good things that Wei had done.
Yinhua was shocked and ran home in a hurry. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Wei hitting the wall.
"Mom—" Yinhua screamed, rushed over and grabbed Wei's clothes.
With a "bang", Wei's head hit the wall hard, and blood spurted out instantly.
"Ah!!" Old Mrs. Ye and her husband rushed over and surrounded Wei.
Ye Erquan froze in place. When he turned around, he saw Wei with a bleeding head, slowly falling to the ground.
"Mom!" Yinhua rushed over and helped Wei up. Wei was still conscious, but he just stared at Ye Erquan:
"I will not leave this door...even if I die...I will die here..."
She can't be divorced and sent back to her parents' home!
Although she is the youngest daughter in the family, in the eyes of her parents she is just a little girl who loses money and doesn't even have a proper name.
She worked like a slave in her parents' home and lived a very miserable life in her husband's home.
She finally had a few days of good life, and her family members flattered and praised her to the utmost.
If I were to be fired today, not only would I lose face and dignity, but I would also have no way to make a living!
Not all women are as loved by their families as Ye Caiping, and can be pampered even after being divorced and sent home.
Most women who are divorced and sent back to their parents' home are doomed to die.
Rather than dying in humiliation at her parents' home, Wei Si Ya would rather die here!
At least, this is her home! It's her house!
"Mother-mother..." Yinhua screamed in fear.
"Quick, call the doctor! Ye Peng, where is the death?! Your mother is dying!" Old man Ye shouted into the room, "Quick, call Doctor Zhao!"
Ye Peng then opened the door in a daze. When he saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment and then rushed out the door in one step.
"Hurry, second brother, take her to bed!" Old Mrs. Ye said anxiously.
"I won't go... I won't go... Let me die--" Wei said weakly.
Blood was still gushing out of her head, and Yinhua was so frightened that she quickly covered her head with a handkerchief:
"Mom, don't talk anymore! Dad... don't divorce me! Don't! Wuuu..." Yinhua hugged the weak Wei tightly and looked at Ye Erquan crying heartbrokenly.
She knew that her mother had gotten into trouble and done something wrong! But she is her mother after all...
"Mom will change in the future! For my sake, Dad, please forgive Mom this time! Dad...are you so cruel?"
Ye Erquan's head was buzzing because of her crying.
Looking at Wei lying on the ground with a bloody head, his heart ached and he couldn't help but shed tears.
Although he and Wei had never met before marriage, it was not fake that they had been together for more than ten years after marriage.
No matter how angry and naughty she was, it was impossible for her to remain indifferent when she saw her wife, with whom she had been with for more than ten years, falling to the ground in such a tragic way.
But if I divorce her, how can I explain to my younger sister?
Ye Erquan squatted on the ground with difficulty and pain, holding his head and sobbing.
"That's enough! No more rest, no more rest! Erquan, take her back!" Old Mrs. Ye made the decision.
Old Man Ye also sighed softly.
Old Mrs. Ye still felt a little sympathetic, after all, they had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than ten years.
Moreover, if she really divorced and returned to her parents' home, Wei's death would have nothing to do with them.
But Wei insisted on dying here, so even if Ye Caiping was right, she would still be known as someone who forced her sister-in-law to death.
Ye Erquan walked over with a stern face, picked up Wei and walked towards the bedroom.
After a while, Doctor Zhao arrived.
After feeling the pulse, he said, "The wound is quite serious. If it were deeper, you might die. Take good care of yourself! If you don't, you might suffer from dizziness and headaches."
Ye Erquan, Yinhua and others breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little fortunate.
Fortunately, Yinhua pulled me out when the collision happened, otherwise I would have died here.
When Doctor Zhao was leaving, Old Lady Ye stuffed a piece of silver into his pocket and said, "Don't tell anyone about this."
"Don't worry, I've told you who I am." But he pushed the piece of silver back, turned around and left.
Ye Erquan looked at Wei on the bed with a complicated expression, pursed his lips, and finally walked out without saying a word.
Old Mrs. Ye and Old Man Ye looked at each other.
Wei on the bed had her eyes closed, but Old Lady Ye knew she was awake, so she said, "Take good care of herself! Don't think too much. Yinhua, you stay here and take good care of your mother. We'll go back first."
"Yeah." Yinhua nodded with tears in her eyes.
After the two of them left, Yinhua held Wei's hand tightly, her eyes blurred with tears:
"Mom... Grandma just said that she won't divorce you. Don't do stupid things again, wuwuwu..."
As for Ye Peng, after Doctor Zhao came over, he went back to his room and locked himself in it.
......
Ye Caiping was drinking tea in the main room.
Everyone in the big house is here.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Ye Yong and others went to the Du family with Mrs. Du to deliver mooncakes.
As for Ye Daquan, he went out to deliver the spicy soup and has only just returned.
Unexpectedly, when they returned to the village, they heard about this and rushed over to comfort Ye Caiping immediately.
Ye Daquan frowned and said, "That Wei Si Ya used to look honest. She has been with our family for more than ten years and has gone through the hard times of eating coarse food. How come she has become like this?"
Ye Caiping held the teacup in silence and said calmly:
“Some people can share adversity but not wealth. Moreover, sharing adversity may not mean that one can endure hardship, but that one has no better choice.”
Wei was originally an ordinary person with no knowledge. She married into another poor family from one poor family, and living in poverty had become her habit.
Besides, even if she didn't want to share the hardships and eat coarse food, she had no choice. There is no ability to change the status quo.
When you have money, human nature will be released.
As long as greed arises, if you have one, you want two, if you have two, you want three... you are never satisfied.
"The second brother is here." Ye Daquan suddenly spoke.
Ye Caiping looked up and saw Ye Erquan walking in with a sad face.
Old Mrs. Ye and her husband followed behind.
Ye Daquan was about to start scolding, but unexpectedly, Ye Erquan fell to his knees and kowtowed three times, scaring everyone.
"Old Second, what are you doing?" Ye Daquan rushed over and pulled him up. "I know you feel guilty, but you don't have to kneel. Isn't this embarrassing?"
"We all know that this matter has nothing to do with you. It was all done by Wei Si Ya."
Ye Erquan sighed softly and smiled bitterly: "She is my wife, how can it not be my business?"
As he said this, he looked at Ye Caiping:
"Little sister... I'm sorry! I should have divorced her for doing such a thing... but... she wanted to commit suicide. After all, she is my wife and the mother of my children... I can't watch her die, and I can't divorce her..."
"I really don't know how to compensate you. I will return all the money my little sister made in the past to you. I also don't want the shares in the furniture workshop anymore. I won't build a hut again. I just ask you to forgive her this time..."
Ye Caiping looked at him calmly:
"No need to return it. This was originally something I gave to my second brother. Although you two are husband and wife, it is she who is wrong, not my second brother. I can tell the difference."
"You can continue the toilet business, and keep the shares in the furniture workshop. The only business I'll never give her is the spicy soup delivery business."
Ye Erquan felt guilty and embarrassed: "I... when she gets better, I will ask her and Peng'er to kneel in front of you, offer you tea and apologize."
Ye Caiping shook her head: "No need. From now on, Second Brother is still my Second Brother. But she is no longer my sister-in-law!"
Ye Erquan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with tears in his eyes: "Okay. Then... I'll go back first."
After saying that, he stood up and left quickly.
Although the younger sister said that the second brother was still the second brother, he knew that because of Wei's existence, he and his younger sister could never go back.
But no matter how wrong Wei was, she was still his wife with whom he had been supporting for more than ten years and the mother of his child.
His kindness and sense of responsibility prevented him from watching her die.
After Ye Erquan left, Old Man Ye and his wife sighed heavily.
Ye Daquan gritted his teeth and said, "She is so lucky. This second brother can't even deal with her."
Ye Caiping poured herself some tea: "Not all problems can be solved perfectly. Second brother, this is the only choice."
Life is full of different things, not everything can go as you wish.
Sometimes life is like being stuck in a quagmire and unable to escape, and Ye Erquan is one of them.
Ye Caiping looked at Old Lady Ye and said, "Whether it's mother or eldest brother and sister-in-law, just interact with second brother and his family normally in the future. You don't have to worry about me."
Old Mrs. Ye felt that Ye Caiping was too wronged: "Caiping..."
Ye Caiping waved her hand: "That's settled. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
If after this, Old Lady Ye and the first wife distanced themselves from Ye Erquan, they would be pushing Ye Erquan further and further away.
......
Ye Erquan returned home and went straight into the bedroom.
Wei was still lying on the bed, with a white cloth wrapped around his head with some bloodstains on it.
She looked pale and very weak.
Yinhua was sitting beside the bed, and when she saw him, she stood up quickly: "Dad."
Ye Erquan stared at Wei coldly: "Although I won't divorce you, from now on, you are no longer my second sister-in-law! From now on, you are not allowed to step into my house, and you are not allowed to get close to me and Jin'er Huan'er again."
"If you dare to provoke them again, I will not care whether you live or die. Even the king of heaven will divorce you."
Although Wei had his eyes closed, he was awake.
Listening to what he said, I just pretended to be asleep.
His hands were clenched tightly under the quilt, and his heart was filled with sourness and hatred.
If she could no longer have contact with Ye Caiping's family, how much would she lose?
But there is nothing we can do right now.
"Also," Ye Erquan continued, "I will no longer let you deliver Hu La Tang. I will not give you my money anymore."
When Wei heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and struggled to get up: "Why do you..."
"Why?" Ye Erquan stared at her fiercely. "If you don't agree, you can hit it again! I guarantee no one will stop you this time."
Wei was so angry that her face turned pale and blue and her body was shaking.
She wanted to hit it again, but after experiencing it once, she no longer had the courage.
Ye Erquan looked at Yinhua and said, "From now on, buying vegetables and meat will be handled by Yinhua."
Yinhua nodded with a pale face: "Okay."
After saying that, Ye Erquan turned away.
Wei finally couldn't stand it anymore and burst into tears: "How am I going to live in the future... wuwuwu..."
Yinhua frowned and said, "Mom, your head injury hasn't healed yet. If you don't rest well, you will develop a chronic disease."
Wei said angrily: "Why do you care about whether there is a root cause of the disease or not... Why don't you let me earn that money? Why don't you let me? Don't I do it myself? Yes! I know how to do it..."
Although she didn't know the secret recipe of Hu La Tang, the ingredients for Hu La Tang were available at grocery stores outside, and they were all supplied by Ye Caiping's workshop.
Yinhua said unhappily, "Everyone can do it."
"It's not ordinary... We used to make it better than others because the method and quantity are different! We can make the same taste and deliver the goods..."
Yinhua pursed her lips and asked, "Who are you sending the goods to?"
Wei's face froze.
Due to the popularity of the spicy soup seasoning packets, only Shunkelou and Pangjie were left to order the products. They are all good friends with Ye Caiping, so why would they choose her instead of Du?
How about setting up a stall?
But Mrs. Du had already delivered the goods, and she still went to set up a stall. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Moreover, Baiweilou and Pangjie have the same flavor, so their business won’t be very good.
Wei's face turned pale and blue, and his delivery job was completely gone! It’s really gone!
That's a job that can earn you 24 taels a month!
And it is impossible for Ye Erquan's money to be handed over to her again...
Oh my God, why did such a cruel thing happen?
Wei completely broke down and sat on the bed crying.
When Yinhua saw her like this, the heartache she had just felt almost disappeared, and she turned around and left with a cold face.
