The woman thought it would take some effort, but she didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to. Seeing that she was sensible, she didn't say anything more.
She thought about how her mother disregarded their years-long mother-daughter relationship and married her off.
Zhao Xiaojing thought she could use this opportunity to instigate her sister-in-law, and reluctantly took out ten yuan from her pocket.
The pockmarked woman's eyes lit up when she saw the ten yuan. Her mother-in-law managed all the money in the house, and she only had one yuan for pocket money each month.
It wasn't enough for her, so Zhao Xiaojing gave her the money directly, looking quite distressed.
“Sister-in-law, I really feel sorry for you. You are the hardest working person in our family, but my mother said those things about you.”
What did my mother-in-law say about me?
The woman with the pockmarked face was brainless, and besides, she had long disliked her mother-in-law.
"He didn't say anything. Sister-in-law, keep this money for yourself, just don't let my mom find out."
Seeing Zhao Xiaojing's hesitant and stammering manner, the pockmarked woman became even more certain that her mother-in-law had spoken ill of her.
"Xiao Jing, you can just tell your sister-in-law what you want to say. Have you forgotten how much your older brother usually dotes on you?"
This is also one of the reasons why the woman with the pockmarked face couldn't stand Zhao Xiaojing.
That is, her man treats his younger sister Zhao Xiaojing much better than he treats her.
Sometimes she even gets jealous, but Zhao Xiaojing acts as if she doesn't actually want to say it.
"Sister-in-law, you can't get angry after you hear that."
"Okay, go ahead."
Zhao Xiaojing then added fuel to the fire, saying that her mother had previously complained to her about her sister-in-law, saying that she didn't need her sister-in-law to do things and that her second sister-in-law was better.
She had actually wanted to give up the room for a long time.
But her mother said that it couldn't be given to her eldest sister-in-law's family; it had to be left for her second sister-in-law's family.
She also said that her sister-in-law was of no use to the Zhao family.
She's only doing this for the sake of the child; otherwise, she'd have made her son divorce her sooner or later.
Although Zhao Xiaojing only said a few words, to the woman with the pockmarked face, her mother-in-law was simply too wicked, even causing the man to divorce her.
Upon hearing this, the pockmarked woman forgot about taking Zhao Xiaojing's money.
She's a college student, and I'll be relying on her in the future, so I can't afford to offend her now.
"Xiao Jing, take this money. Your sister-in-law can't take your money. As for the house, she can forget about taking it from the second wife. Your sister-in-law will definitely protect it for you."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. You're so kind, unlike my second sister-in-law, who has never come to see me."
After speaking with Zhao Xiaojing, the pockmarked woman went back to find her mother-in-law.
However, she didn't act impulsively. Her mother-in-law didn't like her, so she decided to make her angry.
"Mom, who is Xiaojing's biological mother? You haven't asked Dad yet. What if she comes looking for our family?"
When the father-in-law heard what his eldest daughter-in-law said, he cursed her inwardly for being so foolish, always bringing up things that shouldn't be brought up.
The mother-in-law was already angry, and now she didn't even want to eat. She dragged her father-in-law back to the room.
Hearing the sounds of arguing and breaking things coming from inside the house, the pockmarked woman hummed a song as she ate her meal, looking quite pleased with herself.
As for the others, these two argue all too often, so no one takes it seriously.
Shen Yun heard the argument next door again, so she got up to close the door and have dinner with Liu Mingyi.
"Honey, we haven't been to my brother and sister-in-law's house for dinner since we got married. How about we go sometime?"
"good."
Shen Yun agreed, saying that she was busy with the mall these days and would make time for it.
Shen Jianli and Liang Hudie didn't rush back this time; they planned to go back with their son and daughter during the Chinese New Year.
With nothing to do all day, Liang Hudie focused all her attention on Shen Yun and Yu Ying's bellies.
Shen Yun is pregnant now, so she's not too worried. But Shen Bo and Yu Ying have been married for so long, there shouldn't be no news of a pregnancy yet.
Thinking that Shen Bo and Fang Siwan had never had a child before, an idea sprouted in Liang Hudie's mind.
Unable to sit still any longer, he hurried to find Shen Jianli, who had recently made friends in the compound and practiced Tai Chi every day.
He was practicing Tai Chi when Liang Hudie dragged him home, which displeased Shen Jianli.
"I'm busy, why are you pulling me?"
"Is your Tai Chi more important or your grandson?"
Upon hearing the word "grandson," Shen Jianli became interested. Could it be that Xiao Yu was pregnant?
"Not pregnant."
Liang Hudie saw through his thoughts and spoke directly, which dampened Shen Jianli's enthusiasm.
Why are you telling me if you're not pregnant?
"I'd only worry if she wasn't pregnant."
Liang Hudie then discussed with Shen Jianli whether there might be something wrong with their son.
Shen Jianli's heart raced at the thought of this possibility; he only had one son, Shen Bo.
"Old Shen, what do you think we should do? Should we send them to the hospital for a checkup?"
"No, we can't make this public. Zhaozhao knows medicine, let's find her and have her take a look at Shenbo."
"good."
After the two of them discussed it, Liang Hudie couldn't wait even a day longer.
The next day, I went to the family compound to find Ye Zhaozhao, who happened to be off work.
Although she doesn't practice medicine, Ye Zhaozhao regularly takes out the medicinal herbs from her space to organize them.
Seeing that Liang Hudie had come to see her, she knew that the two of them had registered when they came to the family compound before, so this time she just came in directly.
"Aunt, you're here. Please have a seat."
"Zhaozhao, your aunt won't sit down. I've come to talk to you about something."
When she heard that Liang Hudie had something to ask her, Ye Zhaozhao asked her what it was. Liang Hudie was too embarrassed to say, but only asked him to give Shen Bo a medical check-up.
Ye Zhaozhao thought something had happened to Shen Bo, so she immediately drove Liang Hudie to Kyoto.
As for the children, she wasn't worried at all; they were already familiar with the compound.
If they can't find her, they'll go to Bian Zhaoyue's or Lu Shiyun's house for dinner.
