Chapter 85 Wounds
Li Taohua looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with a sharp gaze, "How did I say anything wrong? In recent years, she has lived a more comfortable life than the daughters of landlords. Who did she rely on? How has the Shi family ever let her down! How has Yan Jin ever let her down!"
He shook his head with a sneer, his sharp eyes filled with disappointment, "No one has wronged her, she is just an ungrateful person!"
I felt extremely uncomfortable inside, but I clenched my hands tightly. I controlled the urge to slap that pretty face a few times and kept telling myself to stay calm.
Impulsiveness cannot solve problems, it will only exacerbate conflicts. I must protect my son's marriage!
No matter how fast the cruel daughter-in-law flies, I will catch her back!
Guan Meiling lowered her head, feeling equally disappointed.
Although the words are rough, the truth is there. My mother-in-law is right. My sister-in-law has lived a good life in recent years, and it is selfish, heartless and ungrateful for her to kick her brother-in-law away in the blink of an eye.
Besides, the children are innocent. She should not and cannot treat two well-behaved and sensible children with such a cold attitude.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. What he did was truly heartless.
I couldn't help but say, "Ruoxi, think twice before you act. Mom and Yan Jin have been very kind to you."
Meng Ruoxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was slightly hoarse, "Sister-in-law, I just want a divorce."
I really just want a divorce. I can make up for everything in the past double.
The word "divorce" completely angered Li Taohua. Unable to bear it any longer, she picked up the teacup next to her and smashed it.
The incident happened suddenly and Meng Ruoxi had no time to hide. After a muffled sound, she felt a sharp pain on her forehead and her vision went black.
The hand slowly reached for the forehead and felt wet.
"Ah!" Guan Meiling let out a sharp cry unexpectedly, hurriedly got up from her chair, and walked forward to ask, "Ruoxi, how are you?"
There was a lot of blood and the wound is probably quite deep. I hope there is no disfigurement.
Meng Ruoxi took out a handkerchief from her coat pocket and wiped her forehead, then shook her head gently, "It's okay."
I'm not worried about the injury on my forehead; I'm only worried about whether tomorrow's performance can go smoothly, or whether I can go at all.
Looking at her daughter-in-law's horrific appearance with blood all over her face, Li Taohua couldn't help but be stunned.
Why didn't she hide? I didn't really want to hit her.
Little Wenzhu was so scared that she screamed and cried, "Mom!" She turned to look at her grandmother with a look filled with hatred and anger.
"Grandma! Why did you hit my mom?"
Sun Zi's angry question shocked Li Taohua so much that she was speechless for a moment. After a long while, she said, "I didn't mean it..."
Xiao Wenzhu was very angry and burst into tears, "Grandma, I hate you!"
Little Wensheng climbed onto his mother in one go, stretched out his little hands to wipe the blood off his mother's face, and opened his little mouth to breathe.
"Mom, it doesn't hurt."
After Meng Ruoxi understood his lip language, she looked away in a panic.
I've treated him so well, why is he still treating me well as always?
After observing for a while, Guan Meiling said seriously, "Let's go to the hospital to treat the wound."
Meng Ruoxi refused calmly, "No, it's fine once the bleeding stops. Let's talk about your business first."
Li Taohua, who was originally feeling guilty, immediately became angry upon hearing this. "Aren't you just afraid that I'll come to your house to look for you and let people know that you're married and have children? Don't worry, I'm not ready to do that at the moment. You should go and treat your wound as soon as possible."
To avoid any problems that might arise, not only would I feel bad about it, but my two grandsons would also hate me for it.
I feel upset just thinking about it. I felt so guilty when I just hurt her unintentionally. How could such an ungrateful person not feel guilty for abandoning her husband and children?
Hope surged in Meng Ruoxi's heart, "I'll buy you train tickets in a few days."
Guan Meiling's mouth twitched, "Ruoxi, we didn't say we were going back."
Li Taohua smiled proudly, "Yes, we are going to settle down in Kyoto."
The eldest son was right. Only by settling in Kyoto could he threaten his daughter-in-law.
Looking at her suddenly pale face, you can tell how scared she is.
The sound in her ears was so sharp that Meng Ruoxi felt dizzy. "You guys are not leaving?"
Guan Meiling nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I won't leave. My children will go to school here in the future."
I didn't have the heart to threaten my younger siblings, but her behavior was so chilling that I couldn't continue to favor her against my conscience.
Meng Ruoxi's heart instantly sank to the bottom. The feeling of being unable to escape was so terrible that it made her breathless.
My mother-in-law is criticizing me and threatening me!
"Mom." Xiao Wenzhu called out with a trembling voice.
This time when I met my mother, she was very different. She didn’t hug me or look at me. Did she not want me anymore?
He was panicking in his heart and his face showed some fear.
Meng Ruoxi slowly raised her eyes and looked at him. After a long while, she only said, "Listen to grandma in the future. Mom may not be by your side anymore."
Xiao Wenzhu felt pain in her heart and couldn't help crying, "Mom, I've been very good. Can you come home with me? I miss you so much."
After a long silence, Meng Ruoxi shook her head apologetically, "No, Mom has her own things to do and can't go home with you."
Xiao Wenzhu lowered his head fiercely.
The long-term emotional repression, various external factors, and his mother's indifference today caused him to completely collapse. He roared with tears in his eyes, "I don't want to like you anymore! I hate you! You are a bad mother!"
Meng Ruoxi's blood-stained hands hanging by her side trembled slightly, and she forced herself to calm down the next second.
It's right to dislike yourself, you are not worthy of his liking.
Little Wensheng squatted on the ground, crying silently.
I heard everything my mother said to my brother.
My mother will not come home and I have been abandoned.
Li Taohua frowned and scolded him angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! The children call you mom, how can you be so cruel as to make them sad!"
Meng Ruoxi sighed, "Mom, everything I said from the beginning to the end came from my heart. Yan Jin and I will definitely get divorced, and I can't have the child. You either take the child and leave Kyoto, or never show up in front of me again."
The wound on my forehead was extremely painful. I was going to have to take a bath for tomorrow's performance. I was very upset and didn't feel like staying any longer.
Li Taohua was equally resolute, "What I said is from the bottom of my heart! I will not agree to your divorce!"
Guan Meiling shook her head, and it looked like the situation wasn't going to end well.
My brother's sister-in-law's cruelty exceeded my expectation.
Meng Ruoxi waved her hands, "Mom, let's talk about everything after Yan Jin arrives in Kyoto. Don't come to see me during this time. I really don't have time to entertain you."
School is about to start in a week. Mom is preparing to welcome new students. Dad is the vice-president and has been very busy these days. My brother has just been promoted to professor and is even busier. There can't be any unexpected situations at home, and I can't be embarrassed because of myself.
Li Taohua snorted coldly, "I don't want to see you yet, you selfish ungrateful bastard!"
Guan Meiling sighed, "Ruoxi, truth cannot be hidden. Even if you try your best to hide it, it cannot change the facts. Getting married is not something to be ashamed of. I advise you not to dig your own grave."
Having said this, I didn't say anything more. I called my mother-in-law and took my two little nephews with me, and left in silence.
