Chapter 87
"If you have thought it over, just do as you say." Aunt Xie said.
Although she was angry with the Lei family, if Lei Xiao didn't come to pick up Yao Yi, it would be Yao Yi who would lose face. It would be better for her to do as Yao Yi said.
So, when it got late at night, Yao Yi took advantage of the fact that everyone in the compound had gone back to their homes and was no longer in the compound, and asked Yao Hong to take her back to Lei's house - she didn't dare to walk alone at night.
When Yao Hong sent Yao Yi back to Lei's house, the light in Lei's room was still on, but the door was locked.
Yao Hong saw Yao Yi enter the Lei family with his own eyes before turning back.
Yao Yi's action of opening the door alarmed the Lei family. Lei's father and Lei Xiao came out to see what was going on, while Lei's mother took Lei Ying and hid behind.
Seeing that it was Yao Yi, everyone in the Lei family breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why did you sneak back in so late at night? It scared me to death. I thought there was a thief in the house." Lei Ying rolled her eyes.
She was genuinely frightened. The whole family was inside when they suddenly heard the lock on the yard door being unlocked. Who wouldn't be scared? Even the rest of the Lei family thought there was a thief in the house and came over to see what was going on.
Lei Ying went back to her room angrily.
Lei's mother and father were also frightened. They said nothing and went back to their rooms.
Suddenly, only Yao Yi and Lei Xiao were left in the yard.
Yao Yi already felt a little embarrassed, and when she saw that Lei Ying, Lei's mother and Lei's father didn't look at her with a good face when she came back, she felt not only uncomfortable but also more embarrassed.
"Why did you come back so late at night?" Lei Xiao also complained.
Yao Yi pursed her lips and said, "Didn't you say that the door to our house is not locked and I can come back whenever I want?"
Lei Xiao recalled what he had said and confirmed that he had not said the same thing.
But there was nothing wrong with Yao Yi misinterpreting what he had said before into this meaning.
"Aren't you going to stay at your mother's house anymore?" Lei Xiao said.
Yao Yi shook her head and said with her neck stiff, "I've had enough of my mother's family."
"Do you have any objection to what my mother asked you to do?" Lei Xiao asked again.
Yao Yi shook her head again and whispered, "No problem."
"You'll never lose your temper again like you did that day at the breakfast table?"
Yao Yi murmured softly, "I won't lose my temper anymore."
"I'm glad you realized your mistake. There's still some hot water in the thermos, so go wash yourself." After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he went back to the house.
Yao Yi sighed, feeling a little complicated.
The next day, Yao Yi got up early and prepared breakfast.
She also took the initiative to pass the boiled egg to Lei Ying and said with a smile: "Eat more eggs, it's good for your health."
Lei Ying took it expressionlessly, and only then noticed the wound on Yao Yi's face.
She asked curiously, "Why are there so many wounds on your face? Did you have a fight?"
Yao Yi is now too embarrassed to admit that she had a fight with her sister-in-law.
Even Lei Xiao didn't stand on her side. If other people in the Lei family knew about it, they probably wouldn't feel sorry for her. Instead, they would think it was her problem that she dared to fight with her sister-in-law.
Yao Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't fight with anyone. I just did it accidentally."
Lei Ying didn't believe her. It was obvious that he had been in a fight, otherwise how could he have so many injuries.
But Lei Ying didn't bother to ask. She had never fought anyone since she was a child; fighting was considered rude. Regardless of who Yao Yi had fought with, Lei Ying felt that her sister-in-law was a terrible person.
Lei's mother had noticed the injury on Yao Yi's face a long time ago, but she didn't even bother to ask. She guessed that Yao Yi's injury was probably caused by a fight at her mother's house, otherwise she wouldn't have sneaked back home so late at night.
He is such a low-brow, petty, and vulgar person.
Why did Lei Xiao choose such a person, who is far inferior to his previous partner?
However, Lei Xiao’s previous partner...
Alas, it’s better not to mention the past.
…
The next morning, when Cui Yongfang was sitting at the door washing clothes, she didn't see Yao Yi, so she asked about Aunt Xie.
Aunt Xie said with a smile: "Lei Xiao came to pick her up last night and took her back home."
"Last night?" Cui Yongfang was puzzled: "What time was it last night? Why didn't I see it?"
"Lei Xiao was a bit busy yesterday and came quite late. Many people in the compound were asleep, so naturally you didn't see it."
"What time did he come?" Cui Yongfang asked.
Aunt Xie was a little annoyed. Cui Yongfang was really asking questions, but she kept a smile on her face and said, "It must be around ninety."
"It's so late." Cui Yongfang said, "It's late at night, and you can't even see the road clearly. It's better to come and pick you up in broad daylight so that everyone in our compound can see you."
Aunt Xie sneered, "Why do we need to get involved in their affairs? Lei Xiao must have missed Yi Yi so much that he came to pick her up so late at night."
"If he missed Yao Yi, he could have come earlier! Yao Yi stayed at her parents' house for almost half a month before she came." Cui Yongfang said with obvious disbelief.
"Lei Xiao is just worried about Yi Yi because she just got married and she's not used to it and she misses her parents' home, so he wants Yi Yi to stay there longer. Lei Xiao is such a caring kid."
Cui Yongfang laughed: "Aunt, what you said is completely incoherent! Since Lei Xiao wanted Yao Yi to stay at her parents' house for a while, why would he be so anxious to pick her up in the middle of the night?"
"Why can't you come to pick her up so late at night? As an old woman, how would I know what this young man is thinking? Anyway, my Yiyi has been taken back by Lei Xiao." Aunt Xie didn't want to argue with Cui Yongfang anymore and turned and went into the house.
She felt that she shouldn't have stopped to talk to Cui Yongfang for a few more words. Cui Yongfang was a mean-spirited person, always wanting to see other people's jokes. She could only wait for the day when she would become a joke herself!
As soon as Aunt Xie left, Aunt Liang came out of the room. Cui Yongfang quickly told her mother-in-law what had just happened.
Aunt Liang moved a stool and sat next to Cui Yongfang, mending clothes while listening to Cui Yongfang.
"I think Yao Yi probably went back home late at night. If the Lei family really wanted to pick her up, they would have come a long time ago. And if they really wanted to pick her up, who would do it so late at night? Yao Yi was just afraid that everyone would laugh at her husband for not coming to pick her up, so she probably went back home in despair in the middle of the night."
Aunt Liang agreed, "With Old Xie's personality, even if Lei Xiao came to pick up Yao Yi in the middle of the night, she would definitely make a noise that everyone in the compound could hear. How could she let Lei Xiao take Yao Yi away without making any noise? Yao Yi must have gone back on her own!"
"Yao Yi is so funny." Cui Yongfang said sarcastically, "She's probably trying to imitate Zhong Lan, who ran back to her parents' home and had Yao Hong personally pick her up. Who knew that the Lei family wouldn't take her seriously at all?"
Aunt Liang also said, "Old Xie always brags to us about how well Yao Yi married and how well off the Lei family is. No matter how well off the Lei family is, if they don't take your daughter seriously, she's destined to be looked down upon!"
