But Xiao Yi was also angry. As a grown man, didn't he have any dignity?
Normally, in private, he would indulge and appease Liu no matter how she behaved. But today's matter was no longer a small matter; it was a question of stance.
If she keeps making such a fuss and just obeys them blindly, sooner or later the Xiao family will make her move out and move back to her parents' home.
People in ancient times firmly believed that a daughter who was married off was like water spilled, and was already a member of the Xiao family. If she continued to support her parents' family, it would only be a sign of chaos in the world and would only encourage her to develop bad habits.
"Okay, mother, if she wants to leave, let her go. She will be back soon."
She is a married daughter, pregnant, and she stays in her parents' home for a long time and doesn't go back. This is unless she is not afraid of the villagers talking about her and gossiping about her. Liu is such a face-conscious person, can she tolerate this?
But Xiao Yi didn't know that the mother and her two sons had already discussed it and they were determined to make his mother bleed a little.
I guess they also thought of this way of retreating to advance, and planned to force it.
Soon, Liu packed her bag, and her mother helped her walk out without looking back.
Liu Jiang then said:
"I'm telling you, my sister is pregnant with your Xiao family's child. If you're not afraid of being laughed at by the villagers for having your grandchild to be raised by her grandmother's family, then you should show some sincerity. If you're not sincere enough, don't even think about taking my sister back."
The meaning of this sentence is very clear. If you want the person to go back, then bring silver to pick him up.
This time I’m not just borrowing it, this time I’m asking for it openly.
After Liu Jiang made these harsh remarks, he quickly ran out of the yard to catch up with his mother and sister.
These mothers were so good that they walked around the village before leaving. Liu was crying, fearing that the villagers didn't know that she had returned to her parents' home because she had been wronged.
Now the villagers had something interesting to watch. They were all guessing what it was about, and there were all kinds of versions.
In fact, according to the rules, it was not excessive to divorce Liu, a troublemaker like her, but although the Xiao family was angry, they did not think about it in this way.
The news was brought back by Xiao Hechuan. Today, he went to the paddy fields with a group of children from the village to dig loaches.
He dug the most, bringing back several large loaches, which he fried in oil until golden brown, then added scallions and chili powder, which tasted crunchy and fragrant.
It can also be used to make soup. After frying it, fry two eggs together to make the soup. The soup will be milky white and fresh.
He also saw his third sister-in-law Liu leaving crying. Everyone in the village was asking him what happened. He then ran back with his spoils. He had no idea what had happened before.
"Mom, what should we do? The people in this village are so talkative that they can make up any ugly stories." Xiao Lanlan's face was full of worry.
She was afraid because she had seen how good these people were at talking. Rumors can really kill people.
But Xiao's mother was used to these things. She was really panicked at first, but now she has figured it out and has an idea in mind:
"What are you afraid of? They will do it for others to see, and so will we. Don't they just want the villagers to talk about us? We are not afraid, as long as we have a clear conscience. From tomorrow on, you, the third brother, will go to your wife's house every few days to give her eggs and meat, some cornmeal, some vegetables, etc. Given their nature, if you don't see any money when you go, you will definitely not be welcomed, but they will definitely keep the things.
As long as the dishes are collected, we have done our duty. No matter what, we are still thinking about her and the baby in her belly, and we are worried that she won't eat well. When the time comes, we will have something to say in return.
As for the villagers, they can say whatever they want. We went back and forth to deliver food and drinks. Everyone has eyes and can see that she just threw a tantrum and refused to come back. Who can we blame? Anyway, our family gave them face. "
Does the Liu family really want to use the child to hold the Xiao family hostage?
It's only been a few months, and it's still a long way before the baby is born. If her mother is willing to take care of her, then let her do it. Her son is in a hurry to get married, so can she keep wasting time?
Isn't it just a matter of patience? Their sincerity is enough.
Xiao Lanlan learned another lesson today. It was her mother who handled these things with ease.
But her fourth sister-in-law was really powerful. She could play people around and make them speechless, leaving them speechless and unable to do anything but throw a tantrum.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you are really amazing. I thought you really wanted to lend them money, but it turns out you had already thought of an excuse. It's funny when I think of their desperate look. I'm angry but I can't do anything about you."
In fact, it was the first time that Xiao Lanlan knew that the IOU could be written like this. She learned something. If she didn't want to borrow money in the future, she could do it this way. To deal with those who wanted to be deadbeats, only the government's words would work.
In fact, Jiang Sui was just trying to scare them at that time. Those things were just made up by her and she was just bluffing. Those people in the Liu family were too cunning and she also felt guilty, otherwise why would they be so scared?
Xiao Hechuan was feeling very confused as he listened to this, but he didn't care. He only cared about whether his wife liked the loaches he dug.
"Wife, I caught some loaches especially for you. You will grow taller after eating them." He was still thinking about Jiang Sui's growth.
The more Jiang Sui looked at him, the cuter he found him. He thought it would be nice if he could always be like this. But then he changed his mind and realized that his thoughts were too selfish.
Maybe it's because she lacked love since childhood. She lacked love, and the original Jiang Sui also lacked love, so she is particularly dependent on these hard-earned little warmth.
At this moment, Xiao's mother looked at the lively loaches in the water basket and thought about using them to make soup, which would be enough for the whole family. No matter how unhappy life was, they had to eat well.
On the other side, Xiao Yi locked himself in the room and felt very depressed. He recalled the first time he met Liu, she smiled shyly and spoke gently. How come she changed after he married her?
After being gentle and considerate for a few days, his true colors showed. His voice became louder, he became more thoughtful, and his words were even more sarcastic.
What he couldn't stand the most was that her heart and eyes were full of thoughts about her brothers and sisters from her mother's side. Appropriate help was a favor, and it could be said that the relationship between brothers and sisters was close, but if it went too far, it would become annoying.
I feel like a nobody at home or outside.
Father Xiao, the eldest and second sons Xiao continued to discuss in the yard where to find a long-term worker, while the others were busy in the kitchen.
Xiao Lanlan and Jiang Sui had endless things to talk about when they chatted, just like two close friends, whispering in each other's ears. Xiao Hechuan was making trouble on the side, always trying to eavesdrop, but he was isolated by his wife and sister, and he pouted and looked very unhappy.
In the corner, Zhou, who was picking cabbages, looked up at Jiang Sui from time to time, her face full of worries. No one knew what she was thinking.
This second sister-in-law is good in every way except that she is very thoughtful. If the third sister-in-law is annoying with her mouth, she can show her unhappiness on her face and say it on the spot. It is easy to guess. But the second sister-in-law likes to think about things by herself and never shows her emotions on her face. This makes her difficult to deal with.
