When Zhang Yumei saw Xie Heng, she hurried out of the bedroom and stood there, staring at Xie Heng, with her eyes a little red.
Xie Heng felt a little sick at the sight of Zhang Yumei. Especially now, Zhang Yumei cried all day and all night, her eyes swollen like walnuts. Furthermore, Zhang Yumei hadn't dressed up in the past few days, and she hadn't even washed her face or brushed her teeth. She was simply slovenly.
Seeing how cowardly Zhang Yumei was, Xie Heng instantly wanted to turn around and leave, but how could Zhang Yumei let Xie Heng leave?
Zhang Yumei naturally saw the disdain in Xie Heng's eyes. She lowered her head and looked at herself. She didn't know how long she had been wearing the clothes, and they even smelled a little.
When Zhang Yumei thought about how she had been crying at home all day these days and how her eyes must have been unable to see, she wanted to reach out and touch them, but finally gave up.
Zhang Yumei said to Xie Heng, "Xie Heng, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll cook right away." As she said that, Zhang Yumei immediately ran into the kitchen and started cooking.
And just when Zhang Yumei passed by Xie Heng, Xie Heng really smelled the stench on Zhang Yumei. Xie Heng frowned tightly, and before he could feel disgusted, the words that Boss Xie said emerged in his mind.
Abuse?
Xie Heng didn't even look at Zhang Yumei who was busy in the kitchen, and went straight to Xie Zhaochi and Xie Zhaoshen's bedroom.
Xie Zhaochi and Xie Zhaoshen in the bedroom naturally heard it the moment Xie Heng came in. As soon as Xie Heng pushed the door open, Xie Zhaochi and Xie Zhaoshen stood up immediately.
"Dad, you're back."
Xie Heng felt relieved when he saw that there were no red marks on Xie Zhaochi and Xie Zhaoshen's faces.
Xie Heng sat on the bed and asked Xie Zhaochi one question after another. Xie Heng also knew from Xie Zhaochi's answers where Zhang Yumei had been at home these days.
After Xie Heng and Zhang Yumei's argument that night, Xie Heng went to the army and never returned home. Zhang Yumei was even worse, crying in her bedroom all day and all night, not even cooking a meal.
Xie Heng looked at Xie Zhaochi and asked, "How are you going to eat these days? Or..." As he spoke, Xie Heng looked at Xie Zhaochi and the others with some concern.
Xie Zhaochi quickly replied: "Dad, my brother and I go to the cafeteria to buy food at noon and after school in the afternoon. It's just..." As he spoke, Xie Zhaochi lowered his head more and more.
Xie Heng continued to ask: "What happened to her?"
"It's just that Aunt Yumei didn't tell me where the meal tickets are. Even though I have the money you sent me before, I can't buy anything without the meal tickets. But luckily I met Sister Xiufen, who gave me the meal tickets, otherwise I'm afraid we would have been hungry for the next few days.
Oh, Dad, if you ever meet Sister Xiufen, remember to return the meal ticket to her."
As soon as the words fell, Xie Heng's face turned even uglier. He didn't even know that Zhang Yumei didn't even cook for him just because he wasn't going home. It would be fine if she didn't eat, but how could she let her child starve?
"Are you three the only ones eating like this, or does Zhao Rui do the same?"
"Dad, brother Zhaorui is the same as us." After saying that, Xie Zhaochi continued, "Dad, it's normal for Aunt Yumei to be unhappy those days, so don't make a fuss about it because of us. Besides, we're not starving, are we?"
Xie Heng was angry. Zhang Yumei could act like this just because she was in a bad mood. What if the child starved?
When Xie Heng was about to lose his temper, he looked up and saw the smile on Xie Zhaochi's face. Xie Heng sighed, but finally held it back.
After Xie Heng continued to talk to Xie Zhaochi in the room for a few words, he heard Zhang Yumei shouting "It's time for dinner" outside, so they all went out.
Zhang Yumei, who had prepared the meal outside, didn't see Xie Heng. She started to worry, worried that Xie Heng had left again, worried that he had gone to find Xie Zhaochi and the others. She was afraid that Xie Heng would know that she hadn't cooked a single meal at home in the past few days, and she was afraid that Xie Heng would ignore her again.
Just like that, while Zhang Yumei was lost in thought, Xie Heng and Xie Zhaochi slowly walked out of the house.
As soon as Zhang Yumei saw Xie Heng, she immediately said, "Xie Heng, it's time to eat."
Xie Heng looked at the food on the table. There was not a single meat dish. This made Xie Heng, who had just managed to suppress his anger, furious again.
At the dinner table, Zhang Yumei saw that Xie Heng hadn't started eating yet, so she quickly explained, "Xie Heng, I didn't know you were coming back tonight, so I didn't go shopping. Don't worry, I'll go shopping tomorrow."
Xie Heng sighed. Because the child was there, he did not have a fearless quarrel with Zhang Yumei.
Xie Zhaochi watched all this and sneered in his heart: It seems that his father really doesn't like this stepmother now. Oh, it changes so quickly!
Zhang Yumei was even happier when she saw Xie Heng had finished his meal and hadn't left yet. She diligently washed Xie Heng's feet, but when she approached, she had her head down and didn't see the twist on Xie Heng's face.
Just when everything was packed and they were about to turn off the lights and go to bed, Xie Heng suddenly said to Zhang Yumei, "Tomorrow morning, you should prepare the bed in Tianqiu's room. Mom is coming this afternoon."
This made Zhang Yumei, who had originally thought that Xie Heng was about to forgive her, instantly angry. She said, "Mom is coming? Why should she come? Isn't she back home?"
When Xie Heng heard Zhang Yumei's words, he was instantly furious. "This is my home. Does my mother need your consent as her daughter-in-law to come to my home? If you don't want to, then you can go back to your parents' home and save me from embarrassing yourself in the family compound."
Upon hearing Xie Heng's roar, Zhang Yumei, who had been treated coldly by Xie Heng these days, became completely furious and started to make physical advances towards Xie Heng.
"Your mother is here, so what's wrong with me, your daughter-in-law, asking about it? Is it not okay? Besides, this is not only your home, it's also my home. Xie Heng, don't forget that we haven't divorced yet."
"Okay, of course you can ask. But please mind your attitude and don't act like a shrew and make a fuss here."
At this moment, Zhang Yumei felt like the sky had fallen. She ignored the past and yelled at Xie Heng loudly: "You said I was a shrew. Xie Heng, your true face has finally been revealed. You think I am not worthy of you now, right?"
