If he wasn't being wronged like this in front of others, wouldn't doing this make things the other way around? Ji Gang felt bad too, and the more his family acted this way, the heavier his sense of powerlessness became.
“Auntie, you shouldn’t say that. It’s our children who are being unreasonable. They didn’t let you eat your fill, and then Anjing got slapped. It’s all because we didn’t do a good job,” Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but say.
“Anjing is already very sensible, she did nothing wrong.” Han Qiushi echoed, while giving Ji Gang a look. Ji Gang sensed it and immediately picked up the conversation, starting to reason with Ji Anjing and her mother, saying that they shouldn’t just suffer injustice.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi found a place with them and ordered some more food. After they finished eating, it was already dark, so they went out and parted ways. Han Qiushi told Ji Gang that they would meet up again when they had time.
Who knows what's going on at home? Han Meng's bastard behavior has reached new heights, and she certainly deserves to be taught a lesson and slapped. That's all she deserves, but the fact that Lin Xiaoxiao delivered that slap makes it feel a bit out of place.
After all, the two are of the same generation. It's the elder disciplining the younger. If Han Chengjun had slapped him, it would be perfectly justified for the father to hit the younger one.
Even if Han's father and Bai Hehua were to fight, something would be amiss. But since it was Lin Xiaoxiao who was the one who made the move, slapping and kicking, it could easily cause conflict between the two families.
It turned out that it was all Han Meng's fault, but after being scolded at home, she kept bringing up this little thing to throw a tantrum.
"Mom, if you were the ones hitting me, I wouldn't say anything, but who is Lin Xiaoxiao? She just lay a hand on me?"
"Are you just going to stand by and watch me get bullied? Dad, you're their elder! She can hit me like that; she doesn't respect you at all."
Han Meng's words gradually persuaded Xia Ri. Putting aside whether Han Meng had bullied anyone today, even if she had, it was up to them, as her parents, to teach her a lesson. It was not up to Lin Xiaoxiao to lay a hand on her.
It's one thing for Lin Xiaoxiao to be arrogant outside, since she's just bullying others and it's none of her business. But now that Lin Xiaoxiao is bullying their family, they're not only losing face in front of their family, but also in front of so many people outside.
"You still dare to talk back, Han Meng? Haven't you been beaten enough yet? Don't you even listen to what you're saying? You actually want someone to die on the battlefield! A few slaps are too lenient!" Han Chengjun was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged when he saw Han Meng still had the nerve to cause trouble.
Just as she was about to step forward and teach Han Meng a lesson to shut her up, Xia Ri quickly stopped her, saying, "Xiao Meng made a mistake and has already been disciplined by Lin Xiaoxiao. If you hit her again, her face will be ruined."
"Besides, Xiaomeng is right in some ways. Lin Xiaoxiao is just a cousin-in-law, not an elder or an older sister. Why should she lecture her over us?"
"Fine, fine, Han Meng is ignorant and bullies others because of her family's wealth. Instead of correcting her, you, as her mother, are even taking her side."
"Han Meng has become like this because you spoiled her like this!"
"Xia Ri, Han Meng, I'm warning you now. If you continue like this, and something happens again, and they come knocking on our door, then Han Meng will go to jail if she should. Since we can't control you, then let the country take care of you properly." Han Chengjun said, pointing at the mother and daughter with bloodshot eyes. After speaking, he turned around, grabbed a coat, and left.
It was rare to see Han Chengjun so angry in the summer, and he immediately panicked. Xiao Zhui took two steps out and asked, "Where are you going?"
Her response was Han Chengjun's angry back view.
"Mom, what's the point of asking? He's never been on our side anyway. If he doesn't want to come back, he doesn't want to come back. At least we'll have some peace and quiet without him..."
As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi returned, they heard the arguing from the second wife's side. They knew that there was nothing for them to do at the moment. Worried that her family hadn't eaten enough for dinner, Lin Xiaoxiao packed a lot of things to bring back.
I called Bai Hehua and Han Qiulin out to eat. I asked the old man, but he went to watch TV again. He has completely lost interest in Han Meng now and doesn't care about her at all. He doesn't care what she does and lets her do whatever she wants. His life is still the same as before.
They packed a large portion of beef noodles, which tasted just like Master Kong instant noodles—spicy, savory, and delicious. The atmosphere at home improved considerably because of that meal.
Seeing that everyone sitting there was one of her own, Bai Hehua finally spoke.
“I’m thinking we should move back home in the next couple of days. Dad has Chengjun and Xia Ri to take care of him, and if all else fails, he has his bodyguards. Knowing Han Meng and Xia Ri’s personalities, if we continue to live together, there’ll be plenty of trouble in the future.”
“If we continue living like this, we elderly people won’t be happy. It’s better to keep our distance.”
Before Bai Hehua could finish speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao interrupted, "Could it be that your uncle and aunt had a fight with you because of this?"
“If that’s the case, I’ll talk to Qiu Shi and my uncle alone. We’ll move back to where we’re staying. I’m afraid if we continue to live together, I’ll still be unable to resist slapping her twice.” Lin Xiaoxiao’s emotions became agitated again when she talked about this topic, and she made no attempt to hide her dislike for Han Meng.
What is that thing? It's understandable that you're not close to your brother, and you don't have to like him, but what's with cursing your brother to die? This person is vicious to the point of having no bottom line.
The topic came up again, and the people at the table didn't look happy. Bai Hehua couldn't help but say, "I'm not saying this to blame you, but Han Meng is beyond saving and needs to be taught a lesson."
"But people just love to bring this up and make a fuss. I'm too lazy to listen or watch. I still think it's better for us to live on our own. You helped Chen Xin with her face earlier, and Han Meng didn't say anything. So it's reasonable for you to scold her now."
Seeing that no one blamed her, Lin Xiaoxiao was very happy. She wasn't afraid of being blamed by her family, but it definitely made her feel different when her family took the initiative to stand by her side.
Marrying into such a family was definitely the right decision.
Everyone agreed with Bai Hehua's suggestion, but the specifics still need to be discussed with the old man and Han Chengjun tomorrow before a decision can be made.
After eating, everyone went back to their rooms to rest and sleep.
The next day, it was time for Lin Xiaoxiao's medical check-up. She chose a light and comfortable long dress to wear.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao wearing a brightly colored long dress, Han Qiushi couldn't help but glance at her again and again. Although Lin Xiaoxiao's belly was slowly getting bigger, her overall figure hadn't changed. Wearing the dress made her even more feminine than before.
