Lu Zhubao suddenly realized that giving up on Zhuzi was a very foolish decision.
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she forced herself to calm down.
The money had already been given, and she had no other choice. Her brother-in-law saw the two of them arguing.
He took the money and left, then went to the hospital to find his mother.
"Mom, I asked my older brother for another fifty yuan. They don't have any money left."
"Okay, once that woman can't come up with the money, I'll tell your brother to divorce her."
Some time ago, Shunzi accidentally learned that Lü Zhubao had actually married a man.
She abandoned her brother, but he could tolerate her, so she went to find Lu Baozhu's mother-in-law.
He told her about Lu Baozhu's past, including how his son married a divorced woman.
She felt that Lu Baozhu had schemed against the Jiang family because they hadn't had a son or daughter yet.
For so many years, her obedience had been an act, so she came up with a plan: to fake being sick.
Once we've got all the money in her hands, we'll kick her out of the house.
Lu Zhubao discovered that the man left the house after the argument, leaving her to sulk alone.
The man went to the hospital to see his mother, but she didn't dare tell him the truth, so she made up an excuse.
"Mom wants to go back to her hometown for a few days. Will you brothers come with me?"
"All right."
Knowing that this was his mother's wish, the man agreed without hesitation. The three of them packed up and were about to return to their hometown when the man suddenly thought of Lü Baozhu.
"Mom, should we call the jewelry store along?"
"No need, she's not as considerate as the two of you, besides, she still has to go to work."
Upon hearing this, the man fell silent, and the three of them took a bus back to their hometown that same day.
By the time Lü Baozhu found out, it was already the next day, and she was still running around trying to borrow money.
When they arrived at the hospital and learned that her mother-in-law had been discharged, she started arguing with the doctor, saying that her mother-in-law was not well yet and could not be discharged. This question left the doctor speechless.
"How can we take responsibility if your mother-in-law isn't sick?"
"What? You're not sick?"
"yes."
When Lu Baozhu learned that the three of them had left together, a chill ran through him.
Realizing that the family had lied to her, Lü Jewelry rushed home.
But when she got to her doorstep, she found that all her belongings had been thrown out.
Only after asking did I learn that the old lady had sold all her houses, leaving Lü Baozhu with nowhere to go.
At that moment, she thought of the pillar. Why don't we go back?
——
As for Ye Zhaozhao, she hadn't been able to visit Xue Qi since she learned that Xue Qi had given birth, because she was too busy.
On this rare day when she had some free time, after Gu Yunduan went to the military region and the children went to school, she drove herself to see Xue Qi.
When Ye Zhaozhao arrived at Xue Qi's house, she was taken aback by the scene as soon as she entered.
All four sides were covered up. When she saw people coming, Li's mother went up to greet them.
"You've come to see my daughter-in-law, haven't you? She's inside."
Hearing the commotion, Xue Qi called Ye Zhaozhao in, saying it was the middle of summer.
Xue Qi was actually wearing a winter cotton-padded coat and a thick hat on her head.
Ye Zhaozhao felt that there was no need to do this, as covering it up like this would cause problems.
While Li's mother was busy in the kitchen, Ye Zhaozhao spoke to Xue Qi.
"Didn't you tell your mother-in-law that you should have a scientific postpartum care routine?"
When this was mentioned, Xue Qi was speechless. As a doctor herself, she knew all too well what was going on.
But he couldn't go against the old lady's wishes; she would disobey him the moment she refused.
The old lady would say that she was being kind and caring, but the girl didn't appreciate it.
She might as well go back to her hometown; it would save her from having to take care of her here and become a nuisance.
After this happened several times, Xue Qi actually became afraid of her, judging from her current state.
Ye Zhaozhao felt sorry for her and thought that since she couldn't communicate with the old lady, she could talk to Li Yunhao, since she was his mother.
It's generally easier for a son to communicate with his mother than for a daughter-in-law to communicate with her mother-in-law.
As soon as Xue Qi mentioned Li Yunhao, her expression changed. Seeing this, Ye Zhaozhao knew something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?"
Xue Qi didn't want to talk about it. She was already vulnerable after giving birth, and if she didn't tell Ye Zhaozhao, she would really have no one to confide in.
Xue Qi then recounted what she had witnessed at the store, as Li Yunhao's business grew larger and larger.
Many female customers often go to the store to see him during their free time.
Li Yunhao would chat with them, demonstrating his service-oriented attitude and desire to take good care of every customer.
But other people see it differently.
It's hard not to think if a man frequently chats with women.
Li Yunhao had already assured her that he was only doing it for business.
But Xue Qi didn't understand. Their business was already big enough, so even if he wasn't good at chatting, it wouldn't affect the business.
But he just didn't feel right. He didn't want to give others the impression that he was arrogant just because he made money. And so, the two parted on bad terms.
What made Xue Qi feel most wronged was that it happened right when she was giving birth.
A woman said her TV was broken, and he actually went to her house to fix it.
If it weren't for the neighbor's timely discovery, she and her child would have been in danger. Li Yunhao apologized afterwards.
But Xue Qi didn't forgive her. Why should she give birth to his child in the hospital?
He could go and fix TVs for other women; rumors were already circulating in the compound.
Rumors can be terrifying. When those rumors reached Xue Qi's ears, even if she didn't want to think about them, she couldn't control herself.
After listening to Xue Qi's words, Ye Zhaozhao felt that Li Yunhao was incredibly unreliable.
She stood by Xue Qi, and said she had to make this clear to him, if he didn't change.
