Chapter 86
Because of what happened at noon, Yao Yi had bruises on her face, and she didn't wait for Lei Xiao to pick her up. When she went to work in the afternoon, she was extremely depressed and a little angry.
The teachers in the office were surprised to see the injuries on her face, but no one cared about her like they did in the morning. Everyone turned a blind eye and didn't even bother to greet her normally, so as to avoid being used as a punching bag by Yao Yi.
Yao Yi became even more upset when she saw that no teacher in the office cared about her.
She had planned to accuse Zhong Lan of her behavior if anyone asked about it, and let all the teachers in the office join her in scolding Zhong Lan.
During the afternoon class, as soon as Yao Yi entered the classroom, he was ridiculed by those troublesome students.
"Teacher Yao, did you fight with someone? So I like fighting too! Hahaha. But looking at me like this, I guess I lost."
Yao Yi was filled with anger and did not dare to confront those troublesome students. She could only pretend nothing had happened and go to class.
Before school was over in the afternoon, Yao Yi left early again. She went to wait for Lei Xiao outside the school where Lei Xiao worked.
This time, she did not hide in a hidden place, but waited for Lei Xiao outside.
As soon as Lei Xiao got out of school and walked out of the school gate, he saw Yao Yi.
Yao Yi looked at him with red eyes and aggrieved look.
Lei Xiao noticed the wound on Yao Yi's face and asked, "Where did you get the wound on your face?"
Yao Yi cried out of grievance.
Finally someone asked her.
She said, "My sister-in-law scratched me. Today it was her turn to do the laundry, but she didn't wash my clothes. She threw them on the floor and scratched my face like this."
Lei Xiao didn't believe what Yao Yi said at all.
It wasn't that he had a particularly good impression of Zhong Lan. He had no impression of the sister-in-law Yao Yi mentioned. However, he knew Yao Yi. Yao Yi was not one to take offense. If Yao Yi hadn't said something, or even provoked her, would she have been hurt? Maybe Yao Yi was the one who started it.
"So? You came to me to complain?" Lei Xiao said.
Seeing Lei Xiao so indifferent, Yao Yi forgot to shed tears.
She said in disbelief: "I've been wronged, won't you protect me?"
"You wanted to go back to your mother's house on your own. You have parents there, how can you expect me to protect you?" Lei Xiao said coldly, "You were quite talkative when you scolded my sister. You don't need my protection."
Yao Yi was completely stunned: "Are you still blaming me?"
Lei Xiao was a little impatient: "Why are you waiting for me at the school gate? What's going on?"
Yao Yi felt suffocated, angry, and a little embarrassed. She asked, "Don't you want me to go back to the Lei family at all?"
The impatience on Lei Xiao's face became more obvious. "You ran back to your mother's house on your own. We didn't lock the door to prevent you from coming back. I really don't understand why you would ask such a question."
"Then why don't you come to pick me up?" Yao Yi finally couldn't help but ask.
Lei Xiao sighed irritably: "How many times have I told you that it was you who wanted to go back to your parents' home. Since you left on your own, you should come back on your own. If you don't want to come back, I won't force you."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he turned and left.
Yao Yi was shocked by Lei Xiao's attitude.
She didn't expect that Lei Xiao had no intention of going to Yao's house to pick her up.
Lei Xiao's last sentence made her even more panicked.
She asked in a hoarse voice: "Lei Xiao, what do you mean? What do you mean if I don't want to go back, you won't force me!"
But Lei Xiao did not stop at all. Instead, he quickened his pace and left the place.
This was right in front of the school, with so many people coming and going, watching them laugh. Yao Yi's behavior was no different from embarrassing him in public!
Lei Xiao even felt a little regretful now. If he had known Yao Yi's character earlier, he should not have married her.
Lei Xiao raised his eyes and noticed the pretty figure across the road. He was stunned as if he was struck by lightning.
He stared blankly at the figure until it walked away and disappeared completely. He remained there for a long time, then, as if waking from a dream, he raised his feet and walked forward...
Yao Yi was as distraught as Lei Xiao, and she returned to the slum in dejection.
Cui Yongfang was sitting in front of the house sorting vegetables. When she saw Yao Yi coming back, her eyes lit up and she said, "Yiyi, why haven't you returned to your in-laws' house yet? When will your husband come to pick you up?"
Yao Yi was in no mood to pay attention to Cui Yongfang's ridicule. She pretended not to hear and walked home.
Cui Yongfang continued, "I saw you had a fight with Zhong Lan at noon. I heard that your in-laws also have a sister-in-law who is quite favored. Could it be that you had a fight with your sister-in-law and ran back to your parents' home, and that's why your husband didn't come to pick you up?"
Yao Yi didn't expect Cui Yongfang to be so accurate in her guess. She glared at Cui Yongfang and said gloomily, "That's not true."
After saying that, she went into the house.
Aunt Xie cooked dinner again. Actually, it was Zhong Lan's turn to cook, but she refused, saying she didn't know what Yao Yi wanted to eat, and she didn't want Yao Yi to complain about her poor cooking. Aunt Xie could only curse and cook.
At the dinner table, Yao Yi was unusually silent, which made Aunt Xie and Yao's father a little uncomfortable. They secretly observed Yao Yi for a long time.
As soon as they finished their meal, Aunt Xie pulled Yao Yi into her room, locked the door, and asked, "Yiyi, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you said anything tonight?"
Yao Yi didn't know how to tell Aunt Xie about Lei Xiao, and she felt she didn't have the face to tell him.
"Are you still angry that Zhong Lan scratched your face at noon? Come on, mom will help you vent your anger!" Aunt Xie stood up and said.
Yao Yi held her back and told her what she had been thinking about since she came back from Lei Xiao's school.
"Mom, I'll go back to the Lei family when it's completely dark. If anyone in the compound asks, just say that Lei Xiao came to pick me up from the Lei family very late." Yao Yilian had already thought of what to say to the outside world.
Aunt Xie sat down and said, "Why do you want to go back so suddenly? Lei Xiao didn't come to pick you up. If you go back by yourself, won't they look down on you?"
Yao Yi naturally knew this.
But she never went back. Not to mention how the people in the compound would laugh at her behind her back, what was more important was that Lei Xiao had no intention of coming to pick her up.
If she didn't find a way out for herself and continued to stay at her parents' house, she would not only become a laughing stock in the compound, but the longer she stayed, the more embarrassed she would be. If she wanted to return to the Lei family in the future, she would be even more passive and would be laughed at.
"Lei Xiao won't come to pick me up. Last time I had a fight with his sister, he was on her side." Yao Yi said.
"This Lei Xiao! You are his wife. Why should he protect his sister and not you?" Aunt Xie said angrily.
Yao Yi no longer cared about these things. She was just afraid that if she continued to be angry with the Lei family, Lei Xiao would divorce her next time.
She doesn't want to divorce Lei Xiao.
Lei Xiao's family conditions were so good! When she and Lei Xiao got married, many teachers at school envied her, and many people in the compound envied her as well.
"Anyway, I've decided to go back. Mom, if you want this for my own good, just do as I say." Yao Yi had made up her mind.
