Seeing that she remained silent, Gan Qi deliberately used Jiang Chengcai to manipulate Ma Lai, "I will be joining the army in a few days. If you are smart, take care of the two old men on my behalf. Otherwise, you will never see your son again in your life."
Ma Laidi cried and laughed, left the Jiang family sadly, and returned to her mother's home, hoping to seek a little warmth from her mother's home.
In her heart, she still had a glimmer of hope for her parents' home. Perhaps her parents had their own reasons...
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at my mother's house and was about to open the door to go in, I heard the conversation between my parents and my younger brother.
"Ma Lai looked at this useless money-loser who didn't do anything well. Now that he has been divorced by the Jiang family, he will have no money to take home in the future."
"If I had known she was so useless, I should have strangled her to death. Do you think she will come back to her parents' home now that she has been kicked out? That won't work. We don't have enough food to feed her. If a married woman relies on her parents' home, it will affect our family's reputation. Ding Yanli will definitely make a fuss."
"Mom and Dad, since my sister is divorced, why not make use of her and sell her to the butcher in Qingshan Village? You can earn 200 yuan as a dowry."
"Son, I heard that the butcher had beaten his three wives to death. I came to see him, but I don't think he's still alive."
"Divorce has a bad reputation. If you die, then die. It can still create value. Two hundred dollars is enough to buy a life. My son is smart. I will contact a matchmaker right away."
"My eldest sister has been a widow for so long, why don't you sell her too?"
"Your eldest sister can't be touched. She is Secretary Ding's concubine and cannot be touched."
“…”
Ma Lai didn't even have the courage to knock on the door. Her family, whom she trusted so much, chose to abandon her cold-bloodedly.
She has helped her parents' family so much over the years, and whenever she had money she would give them more subsidies. But in the end, her parents ignored her life or death and tried to squeeze out the last value from her.
Knowing that her parents' family was a trap and wanted to sell her, she should have come to her senses. She finally forced Jiang Chengshi to marry her by jumping into the water and drew a clear line between herself and her parents. However, she was coaxed by her parents with a few words and the severance of the relationship was no longer valid. Every time she brought good things back to her parents' home, she lost herself in the praises of her parents.
She regretted it so much. She treated her younger brother better than her son and always thought that her mother's family would support her. However, she ended up with her son not recognizing her.
If she could do it all over again, she vowed to stay away from her natal family and never let her husband's family down again.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world. She can only taste the bitter fruit she has sown herself.
She recalled the past and unknowingly came to Qian Mei'e's new home.
"Sister Wan, sister Shican, please stay at my house for dinner. Zhengyi bought two pounds of meat this morning. Let's celebrate." Qian Mei'e came out of the house and saw the person outside. "Oh, isn't this the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family?"
"Mother..." Malay murmured subconsciously.
"Don't call me mom. Jiang Chengshi is not my son. I have nothing to do with the Jiang family anymore." Qian Mei'e glared at her unhappily. "You can't stay at your husband's house, and you can't go back to your parents' house. You have nowhere else to go, so you come to me? Sorry, I'm not a shelter. I don't take in garbage."
Ma Laidi knelt down in front of Qian Mei'e and said, "Mom, I was wrong. My family wants to sell me for the bride price. I really have nowhere to go. Apart from relying on you, I don't know who else to turn to..."
"I can work and earn work points, and I can help you take care of your brother-in-law. If you take me in, I will tell you a secret. That secret is related to Jiang Laotie and Jiang Guadu..."
Qian Mei'e was indifferent to her pleading and spat on her. "Then I'll let you take care of my son's bed and not let go of my little son? You're a broken woman, don't even think about taking advantage of my son."
Ma Lai Di was eager to grab Qian Mei'e's life-saving straw, "Mom, if you don't help me, my parents will sell me to a butcher. Please save me, or even take me in as your goddaughter. I will be filial to you..."
Gu Wanwan knew too well the character of the brother-supporting demon. "You are so filial that you relapse into your old ways, moving Qian Meizi's money and food back to her parents' home and sucking her blood? Your parents praised you casually and you became arrogant. How did you promise that back then? You were fooled around by your parents."
"Ma Laikan, everything that happened today is all your own fault, you can't blame anyone else. Are you afraid of marrying a butcher? Oh, you must have forgotten that you were planning to drug Shican and give her to your brother. Your brother is lazy and good at eating. What kind of bastard is he?"
Zheng Shican put his hands on his waist and said, "Sister Qian, don't believe her lies. She must want to follow Gan Qi's example and sacrifice herself to ruin Jiang Zhengyi's reputation. She will force your son to marry her. Maybe she will take money from your family to support her family and the Jiang family."
Qian Mei'e nodded, "Sister Wan, Sister Shican, don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to make the same mistake a second time. Ma Lai-jian disgusted me so much back then that I wanted to stay away from her. Even if she was beaten to death by a butcher, that was her fate. Her biological parents didn't care, let alone a stranger like me who had nothing to do with her."
Malay kowtowed several times and said, "Please give me another chance. I have been forced into a dead end."
Gu Wanwan glanced coldly, "That was forced by your dear family. Qian Mei doesn't owe you anything, so don't try to blackmail her morally. You did something wrong yourself, so you have to bear the consequences. If you don't leave, do you still want me to treat you?"
Ma Lai stood up in embarrassment, "Gu Wanwan, you win."
"Instead of asking others for help, it is better to rely on yourself. You are not good at judging people. You let Gan Qi take away your son and husband. You are incompetent and useless." Gu Wanwan chuckled with extreme contempt. "The Jiang family's good days are coming. They won't be arrogant for long."
Ma Lai was stunned for a moment, and after an unknown amount of time, she turned around and left dejectedly. She had nowhere to go, so she could only go to live with Widow Jiang.
Widow Jiang was naturally unwilling to take him in. "Come and see. It's not that I don't want to, but my sister is having trouble and we have children to raise at home. I think you should agree with our parents' decision and marry the butcher. He's older but has a rich family. You're a divorcee who can marry into such a good family. You'd better seize the opportunity. We don't have any extra..."
Malay said bluntly, "I know about your relationship with Secretary Ding."
In a nutshell, Malay successfully moved into Widow Ma's house.
As soon as Gan Qi got married, he boasted to everyone that he was going to join the army, which made the educated youth both envious and jealous.
Originally, she wanted Jiang Chengshi to hand over the passbook, but unexpectedly, Jiang Chengshi handed her a pile of IOUs.
Gan Qi's face immediately darkened, it turned out that the Jiang family was just an empty shell.
At this point, I can only comfort myself that once I join the army and my husband gets a promotion, all the difficulties will be solved. The salary of a regiment commander is much higher than that of a platoon leader, and I will be able to pay off my debts soon.
Unexpectedly, the couple did not receive the good news of promotion, but instead received shocking bad news...
Sheng Qing and his subordinates drove into Xiangyang Village in a mighty manner.
