Chapter 198 Officially breaking off the relationship!
For fear of disturbing his family, Mu Jingyuan was very careful in every move he made, not even making the slightest sound of water.
If Mu Fengzhen hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it - her elder brother went out to eat secretly in the middle of the night!
All those midnight snacks are a lie!
Mu Fengzhen was furious, but she was extremely restrained. After Mu Jingyuan had cleared the evidence, she spoke: "Brother, you are fine."
"Big sister?"
Mu Jingyuan was startled.
"Sister, why aren't you asleep yet?"
“Waiting for you!”
Mu Fengzhen took a few steps forward, twisted Mu Jingyuan's ear and walked towards the kitchen: "Come with me!"
Mu Jingyuan felt that something was wrong, but he was too guilty to speak out, nor did he resist.
After being twisted to the kitchen, his ears hurt so much that they felt like they were going to fall off!
He rubbed his ears gently with his hands and asked tentatively: "Sister, why are you pulling me?"
"Who kissed you on the face? And you smell so bad, which vixen is that?" Mu Fengzhen asked in a low voice.
Mu Jingyuan's legs softened and he knelt down: "Sister, I beg you not to tell anyone..."
"If I wanted to tell others, I would have shouted it out long ago. But Jingyuan, are you doing this to Li Lan?" Mu Fengzhen asked.
"Sister, I know I was wrong. But, but...it's not okay for me to hold it in every day! It will make me sick!"
"Is this your reason for having an affair outside?" Mu Fengzhen became even more angry. "Do you know how sacred it is for a woman to get pregnant and give birth to a child?"
"Sister, you are exaggerating. Just because you can't have children, you can't..."
Pah—Mu Jingyuan was slapped hard in the face before he could finish his words.
"Sister, I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore..."
Mu Jingyuan hurriedly tried to persuade her, looking outside nervously from time to time, for fear of waking Li Lan up.
"Sister, you must not let Li Lan know about this. She is weak and has already had several miscarriages..."
"Then you should behave yourself from now on!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Mu Jingyuan kept begging for mercy.
Mu Fengzhen was very angry, but what could she do? If they really quarreled, would Li Lan get pregnant?
I can only endure it!
Let’s wait until Li Lan gives birth to the baby safely.
"roll!"
"Sister, do you eat baked sweet potatoes?"
Mu Jingyuan took out the roasted sweet potatoes in a flattering manner, which were still hot.
It only takes forty to fifty minutes to roast sweet potatoes, but he has been out for three or four hours!
Li Lan was also very honest and didn't notice anything unusual at all.
Mu Fengzhen felt mixed emotions and raised her hand to hit Mu Jingyuan again: "Who cares about this flirty thing of yours? Go back to your room!"
Mu Jingyuan looked embarrassed and went back to the house with the roasted sweet potatoes in his pocket.
Li Lan just woke up, turned on the light and asked, "Who are you talking to?"
"Don't mention it. My elder sister caught me and scolded me." Mu Jingyuan handed the roasted sweet potato to Li Lan, "Are you hungry? Eat it while it's hot."
"Sister, you are so annoying! Why are you hitting me?" Li Lan felt so distressed when she saw the five fingers mountain on Mu Jingyuan's face. "I'm hungry easily during pregnancy, so what's wrong with having an extra meal at night? Just because I'm pregnant, does that mean the whole family has to eat a midnight snack?"
"Okay, stop talking."
Mu Jingyuan thought that if his elder sister heard his nonsense, he would be beaten again.
Li Lan ate sweet potatoes and sighed, "Jingyuan, have you noticed? The whole family is beginning to dislike us."
"Who made me incompetent?" Mu Jingyuan hung his head. "My parents have been nagging about the second and third sons giving me money for their retirement these days. It's really annoying."
"The parents are still young, but they actually want their sons to support them! It's all because of the second and third sons who spoiled them. They are rich, and they started this precedent, making things difficult for us poor people." Li Lan was also angry.
Seven dollars and fifty cents a month, enough for her to have midnight snacks for a month!
Now they no longer had to earn work points to eat from the communal pot, and Mu Jingyuan had no other skills. They could only live on the two mu and four mu of land, and their financial situation became even tighter.
Although the Li family has been able to sell soap and give her a few dollars every month, she doesn't know how many years this business can last.
Next year there will be three mouths to feed, and in two years there will be another child...the burden on the family will only get heavier.
"Well! We still have to find a way to make money." Li Lan said, "How about you go and work in their factory?"
"I'm not going!"
Mu Jingyuan flatly refused.
As the eldest brother, you actually have to rely on your brothers for food? How shameful.
"But our current income is too low, and prices are rising every day..." Li Lan was worried.
Mu Jingyuan was already unhappy because he was scolded by his elder sister.
Li Lan kept pouring cold water on him, which made him even more upset. He said, "Half of the people in this village live on the land, and no one has starved to death. Why are you so worried?"
"I'm just worried!"
"Go to sleep! You won't worry if you sleep."
Mu Jingyuan left after saying this.
Li Lan was in a bad mood today and held his hand: "You stay tonight and accompany me and the child."
"Alright."
Anyway, he is "full" and won't do anything inappropriate.
The couple lay down, Li Lan leaned over and touched his chest with her hand.
"What are you touching? Go to sleep!"
Mu Jingyuan pulled her hand away angrily.
"Jing Yuan, I..."
Pregnant women have needs too!
"Don't you know what's going on? Go to sleep."
"……All right!"
Li Lan felt embarrassed, but tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
She can't get along well with her parents-in-law, her elder sister-in-law also dislikes her, and now even her husband is mean to her.
Why is she so difficult?
…
The next morning, Mu Fengzhen got up early to make breakfast.
Li Lan couldn't stand her attentiveness, so she moved a stool and sat under the eaves to bask in the sun.
After Yu Miaomiao got up, Li Lan rolled her eyes at her a few times.
After breakfast, Mu Jingyun decided to go to the police station to formally sever the relationship. Old Mrs. Mu said she would also go to support her daughter-in-law.
Finally, Mu Jingyun borrowed an ox cart and carried his parents, wife, and eldest sister to the police station.
Old Man Yu was interrupted yesterday and didn't dare to go back on his word, so he waited at the police station early.
After Yu Miaomiao got married, her household registration was moved to the Mu family in Chahe Village. So she just had to sever her kinship with Old Man Yu, and the relationship was broken off.
From beginning to end, Old Man Yu did nothing but cooperate.
After finishing their work, Yu Miaomiao suggested going to see Qin Xian, so Mu Jingyun asked his mother and elder sister to go back to the village first.
Qin Xian’s store opened early.
But after the market was liberalized, many clothing stores emerged in the county town, and her business was not as good as before.
Qin Xian was very happy to see Yu Miaomiao coming: "Xiao Yu, why aren't you at work today, Monday?"
"I have something to do here, so I'm going to ask for leave." Yu Miaomiao took out the lipstick from the factory, "Teacher Qin, this is the lipstick developed by our factory. Director Shen has already given me a set for trial use, and this is for you."
"Oh, why are you so polite? I heard that your factory is doing great business and your products are good too." Qin Xian said with a smile.
"It's very good. I should have sent you a sample a long time ago, but Su Tang and I haven't had time to come back."
"I know you two have good intentions, sit down!"
Qin Xian asked them to sit down.
Mu Jingyun couldn't get a word in when they were chatting, so he took out the silver lock to play with it.
This scoop caught Qin Xian's attention...
