Facing Li Yan's anger, Shen Xiao explained calmly: "She rented out her house."
Li Yan looked at Bai Hongmei in disbelief. What else did she not understand at this moment? When Bai Hongmei brought her children to seek refuge, she, as a relative and even more as a military dependent, was very sincere to Bai Hongmei.
As a woman, Li Yan actually understands Bai Hongmei's thoughts.
She was a widow with three children. Even if she looked as beautiful as a fairy, she could not marry into a good family.
Shen Xiao is young and capable, and he is a righteous and responsible person. Wei Yanda entrusted his son to the care of others before his death, and he contributed both money and manpower. Except for not wanting to marry Bai Hongmei, Shen Xiao did everything he could and couldn't do.
Bai Hongmei once begged Li Yan to help her connect with Shen Xiao. But Li Yan was very selfish and didn't want Shen Xiao to marry such a burden.
Not only did she not help, she also joined forces with Zhang Cuilian and Wu Meili to make fun of her wishful thinking.
Li Yan actually felt quite guilty about this.
Bai Hongmei's fetus seemed unstable, so Li Yan ran around and did a lot of work as if she was atonement for her sins.
It was not until now that Li Yan realized that Bai Hongmei came prepared.
He collected rent while crying poor and begging for mercy, ate and lived in her house for free, and served her like a nanny.
"Bai Hongmei! You..."
Li Yan was so angry that she was shaking all over. After holding it in for a long time, she turned her head away and sulked.
Bai Hongmei shuddered all over and secretly bit her back teeth.
What should I do? What should I do?
She had been secretly eating the rent before, while asking Shen Xiao for money with various reasons. Now Shen Xiao knows everything, he must think that she is a woman who is full of lies and greedy for money.
Among Wei Yanda's many comrades, the one Bai Hongmei was most afraid of offending was Shen Xiao. She remembered her husband saying that Shen Xiao had a strong background. His other comrades were all peasants, but Shen Xiao's father was a leader.
Unable to think of any other solution, Bai Hongmei brought her deceased husband out to play with her pity.
"Yanda and I lived in that house for more than ten years. There were traces of him in every corner of the house. He left and left me alone. Every day when I lay in bed, I dreamed of him."
"Later, I moved to the family compound. With the guidance of Captain Shen and everyone else, I felt much better and my body got better. When I went back to the city last time to find someone to replace me, I rented out the house. I can earn a few dollars in rent, and buy some clothes for the children."
Bai Hongmei cried and burst into tears. "After Yan Da died, the army leaders and everyone took care of me. I also want to do something within my ability to give back to society."
"I came out of my house that day and heard that someone wanted to rent a house. I didn't think too much about it at the time. I thought that the house was empty anyway, so I might as well let someone in need move in."
"Who would have thought that my body would be so unhealthy. Woohoo, maybe I should just have an abortion. It would save me from causing trouble for everyone."
As she spoke, Bai Hongmei threw back the quilt and made a move to get off the bed.
"I'll abort the baby right now at the clinic and let him reunite with Yanda. I'm sorry to Yanda, wuwuwuwu..."
Seeing this, everyone rushed forward to stop her, and Zhang Cuilian pushed her back onto the kang.
He advised earnestly: "What are you talking about? That's a life, can you just hit it? Yan Da is watching you in heaven, what you said will make him sad."
Bai Hongmei covered her face and cried: "What else can I do? I have rented out my house and I can't go back home. Staying in the family compound will cause trouble to others. For someone like me, what's the point of living?"
"Let's rent a house. We'll pay for it."
Behind the chaotic crowd, a clear and plain female voice sounded.
Bai Hongmei paused in her crying, raised her head in surprise, and looked at Shen Xiao across the crowd.
And Shen Xiao looked at the woman leaning against the door frame with a look of shock.
Qiao Baozhu met Shen Xiao's gaze with a faint smile on her face.
Pretending to be weak and playing the role of a green tea girl are all leftovers from her past life.
This move of retreating in order to advance, not only does she want to earn a good reputation, but also allows Bai Hongmei to suffer a loss in silence.
If she didn't fight back, Bai Hongmei would think she was easy to bully.
