Her voice was very nasal as she spoke, crying as she spoke.
Xiaohe was also awakened by the noise she made. Like a bystander, she got dressed and quietly crouched behind the door to listen.
“He said he’s going to follow you to the mountains today and that he’s going to teach you a lesson. Auntie, please help me! Report him to the authorities and have him arrested too.”
As long as my father-in-law goes to jail, even if it's only for a few months.
Waiting for my husband to return.
She naturally wasn't afraid.
“Auntie, go report this to the authorities. I’ll be a witness and make sure he goes to jail.”
"He didn't do anything, so why is he in jail? I'm still sitting here perfectly fine."
Yan Xia thought she was too naive and what she said was unrealistic.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuefang knelt down as soon as she finished speaking.
"Auntie, I beg you, I know you don't like me, but the child in my belly is innocent, Auntie, he won't let me go, he definitely won't. I can't wait until tonight, Auntie, I'm begging you."
Zhao Yuefang bumped her head three or four times, and Yan Xia quickly helped her up.
Her forehead was bright red, and there was a cut.
It was oozing blood.
It must have taken all its strength.
"Alright, here's what we'll do. You stay at my place for now and don't go back tonight. Sleep with Xiao Ji and let's see what he's up to. If what you're saying is true, that he's been following me and trying to get revenge, don't worry, I'll personally send him to jail."
Yan Xia looked at Zhao Yuefang, who was heavily pregnant, and finally softened her heart.
Women in this world have it tough, even though she really didn't like Zhao Yuefang.
However, if it's not excessive, you should lend a hand if you can.
Consider it repayment for her kindness in bringing the news.
"Thank you, Auntie. I will repay you even if it means working like a slave for you."
Zhao Yuefang wanted to kowtow again, but Yan Xia stopped her.
"Xiao Ji, take Miss Zhao to wash her face, and we'll have breakfast together later."
"Oh, I just boiled some water, Miss Zhao. Come on, you can use my towel first."
Xiao Ji helped Zhao Yuefang to the kitchen, and Yan Xia knocked on her daughter-in-law's door.
"Xiao He, are you awake?"
She had just heard people getting dressed and walking around inside the house.
"Awake, Mother."
Shi Xiaohe then opened the door.
Pretend you just woke up.
"Mother knows you heard this. You won't blame me, will you? I just feel sorry for her. In the end, she didn't do anything wrong. She's just a snob, mostly because of her family. Poor upbringing can corrupt even the best-natured child. Besides, I hate those heartless, wicked men even more. They can even lay hands on their daughters-in-law. They're worse than pigs and dogs. She may have a bad temper, but she hasn't done anything truly heinous. Of course, I don't like her either. But women already have a hard life, and she's pregnant, so I'll just give her a hand."
Shi Xiaohe shook her head.
“Mother, she really looks desperate. If you don’t help her, who knows what foolish thing she might do. I don’t blame you. If she had come to me today to beg, I would have agreed too.”
Shi Xiaohe touched her belly and replied softly.
The two spoke very softly.
You can't hear it from the kitchen.
After reaching an agreement, Yan Xia and Shi Xiaohe exchanged a knowing glance and went to the main room with smiles on their faces.
After Zhao Yuefang washed her face and stopped crying, the four of them ate breakfast.
Today I had lean meat porridge with egg pancakes.
The egg pancakes were fried in lard and sprinkled with chopped green onions; they smelled delicious.
The lean meat congee is savory, fragrant, soft, and tender; after being simmered for a long time, the lean meat melts in your mouth.
Zhao Yuefang had never tasted such good food before.
Since her divorce from Zhou Yiliu, she has only eaten meat a total of three or four times.
My mother-in-law's cooking is terrible.
The meat wasn't flavorful enough, and it was also tough to chew.
At this moment, a simple bowl of lean meat porridge seems like a delicacy.
She felt increasingly regretful, wondering why she had listened to her mother and married Zhou Yiliu, and why she hadn't firmly chosen Jin Fu.
"Xiaohe, have a glass of milk. I added a little honey because I know you like sweet things."
Yan Xia handed the milk to her daughter-in-law.
Looking at her kind demeanor, Zhao Yuefang felt a pang of envy. If only...
If she had married Jin Fu, would she be the one sitting in Xiao He's seat today?
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," and she was somewhat lost in thought.
"What are you standing there for? Eat your breakfast! Come and drink your milk."
Zhao Yuefang's thoughts were interrupted by Yan Xia's words. She saw Yan Xia pick up the milk jug and pour her another cup.
"It's good for pregnant women to drink more milk. I didn't know if you like it sweet, so I didn't add honey. If you want it sweet, I'll add it for you tomorrow morning."
Yan Xia's voice was both magnetic and gentle.
Zhao Yuefang's eyes began to turn red.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'm sorry, Auntie."
These words came from the bottom of my heart.
It is both gratitude and repentance.
Yan Xia smiled but didn't say anything.
Breakfast was finished quickly.
Xiao Ji was in charge of washing the dishes, and Zhao Yuefang, feeling embarrassed to eat and drink for free, helped Xiao Ji wash the dishes.
Yan Xia didn't stop her.
She packed her tools, said goodbye, and left.
Heading straight for the high mountains.
Chonghe and Tietou are on duty today.
"After I go in, close the door tightly. Remember, no one is allowed to come in, understand?"
"Yes, Aunt Yan, you can go without worry."
Yan Xia then left, satisfied.
She deliberately circled the wall several times until she heard footsteps, then she felt safe enough to head into the mountains.
Luo Jingui, who had just climbed over the wall, brought in the homemade wooden ladder he had made outside the wall. He marked each tree trunk on the path so that he wouldn't lose his ladder. Then he picked up a machete and a rope and prepared to hide behind a tree by the mountain gate, waiting for Yan Xia to enter the mountain.
He thought he was lucky to have run into Yan Xia as soon as he entered the mountains.
I followed her quietly.
Holding a hemp rope in his left hand and a wood-chopping knife in his right, he was thinking about how to teach Yan Xia a lesson and how to torture her properly.
The weather isn't very good today; the sky is overcast.
Yan Xia went deep into the mountains.
It started to drizzle.
It also got foggy.
Luo Jingui lost sight of him for a moment and lost track of him.
Yan Xia, who was not far away, was hiding in a big tree and watching him.
The fog was quite thick, making it difficult to see clearly.
Only a vague, bewildered figure of Luo Jingui could be seen.
This is the place where my son encountered the grizzly bear last time.
As soon as the fog rolls in, the grizzly bears begin their hunt.
Yan Xia decided to take a gamble and see if fate would allow Luo Jingui to die.
"Ouch—"
Luo Jingui, who was under the tree, tripped over a stone. He cursed and kicked the stone away, rubbing his ankle.
"Damn it, where is that little bitch?"
Luo Jingui got up, picked up his machete, chopped away the obstacle in front of him, passed under Yan Xia, and walked towards the back.
Yan Xia turned around and continued watching.
The mist in the mountains gradually rose upwards.
The fog should dissipate in about half an hour.
Luo Jingui walked further and further away, until he was about twenty meters away from Yan Xia.
