Chapter 740 You are all the good girls in my heart!
"The reason this matter has become so widely publicized is not only because it is a very special case, but I think it's also because the concerns of families with only a daughter have made this case of a son-in-law killing his wife widely known."
After Li's mother said this, Li's sister-in-law added, "Just as Mother said, it's because the term 'son-in-law' really makes people pay more attention to it."
Linglan and Qiuxiang listened and that was it. They were both shocked by Xu Lang's ruthlessness and how he could do such a heinous thing when he had taken the initiative to become a live-in son-in-law.
"But that's a biological child!"
How could Xu Lang be so heartless? Could he really bring himself to do it?
This is something that Linglan simply cannot understand. In her heart, how could she be so heartless as to kill her own child, a healthy child who was already five or six years old?
Li San Niang could guess why. She sighed and explained to Ling Lan, "Didn't my sister-in-law say that the Dali Temple's investigation found that Xu Lang already has a concubine who is pregnant with his child?"
"Men's words are the least reliable. We've seen so many things happen to the women we met at the rehab center, what else can you say?"
Li San Niang toyed with the teacup in her hand, thinking about the stories told by the women in the brothels she had recently met at the drug rehabilitation center, and then, combined with the case of Xu Lang killing his wife, she felt even more desolate.
"Men are the most fickle and heartless. Xu Lang would instigate a fugitive to kill his own child because he dislikes Hui Niang, and naturally he dislikes even the child Hui Niang gave birth to."
Even more so, if you think about it in a darker light, every time Xu Lang saw Hui Niang's two children, he would feel that this was the best proof that he was a live-in son-in-law.
These two children are the evidence he most wants to erase from his heart.
At this point, Li Sanniang paused, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for Linglan, who was sitting next to her. "So, Linglan, what else don't you understand?"
Li San Niang poured another cup of tea for Li's mother, Li's sister-in-law, and Qiu Xiang without stopping. "Let me put it this way," she said, "if a man truly loves a woman, even if that woman has a child with another man, he will treat that child as his own and love and raise it well."
For example, my father and my eldest brother.
Li's mother never expected that Li San Niang would be so bold as to drag her into this whole affair.
Li's mother pointed at Li San Niang twice with her finger from a distance, but didn't say anything more.
Seeing Li's mother's reaction, Li San Niang smiled ingratiatingly at her mother and continued speaking to the other women: "We are all women, and we all know that it is not easy for women to survive in this world. There is a saying that, although I do not agree with it, I have to say that it is quite true."
Sister-in-law Li reacted quickly. She looked up at Third Sister Li and asked, "Third Sister, is that what you meant?"
Li San Niang and Li Da Sao exchanged a glance, their minds in perfect harmony. She nodded, "That's the sentence."
Qiu Xiang, watching Li San Niang and Li Da Sao exchanging cryptic remarks, grew increasingly anxious. She quickly interjected, "What are you saying, Da Sao and San Niangzi? Have I heard this before?"
Linglan also realized what was going on, and she slowly replied to Qiuxiang: "Is this what Third Sister said?"
If a woman is reborn into a good family, it truly means she has accumulated great blessings in her previous life.
For a woman, marriage is akin to a second reincarnation; if she finds a good husband, her life should be more comfortable.
Li San Niang nodded, confirming Ling Lan's words.
Qiu Xiang's first reaction was to refute this statement, because in Qiu Xiang's opinion, even biological parents in this world are not as reliable as herself.
Just like herself, if she hadn't been capable, how could she have managed to get a meal from scoundrels after her parents died?
But in the past two years, Qiu Xiang has been working with Li San Niang every day, and has encountered thousands, if not tens of thousands, of women. Among them are noble ladies like Song Zhenzhu, but there are many more like Shen Qiu Niang.
Therefore, Qiuxiang felt that Linglan's words were quite right.
Seeing that Qiu Xiang was opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how, Li San Niang reached out and touched the back of Qiu Xiang's hand, nodding understandingly.
Seeing the understanding look in Li San Niang's eyes, Qiu Xiang felt a little better.
“Lily of the Valley is right, and I understand that Qiuxiang wants to refute it.”
Ultimately, there are countless women in this world, each with their own unique circumstances.
Just like my mother, back then she had the courage to bring my eldest brother, who was still an infant, across mountains and rivers to Chang'an. Such will and action are not something an ordinary woman could have.
There's also my sister-in-law. She practiced martial arts from a young age. After marrying my eldest brother, she respected her parents-in-law and fulfilled her responsibilities as the eldest sister-in-law to me and my second brother. I was raised by my sister-in-law since I was a child, and she treated me better than her own children.
You know, when I was young, my brother was jealous because my sister-in-law treated me better.
Ha ha ha ha. "
Li San Niang couldn't help but laugh when she remembered how jealous Li Da Lang had been when they were young. This made Li's mother and sister-in-law laugh as well, remembering the past.
"My sister-in-law not only helped my mother take care of our whole family, but also raised my eldest son and the others."
Even if such a sister-in-law didn't marry her elder brother, she could still live a good life on her own.
After praising Li's mother and sister-in-law, Li's sister-in-law turned to Linglan and said, "Linglan, you are also a remarkable woman."
You were willing to study medicine with me. From the moment you said you wanted to study on your own, you read through all the dozens of books I gave you, and you even read some of them repeatedly. You've filled more than a dozen notebooks with your reading notes alone.
You always do your homework diligently when I ask you to do it.
I'm truly delighted by your willpower. With this kind of drive, I believe you'll definitely grow into a qualified female doctor!
People are happy when they are affirmed, and Linglan was a little excited at this moment. She held back the tears in her eyes.
Turning her head, Li Sanniang looked at Qiu Xiang: "You have practiced martial arts since you were a child. I have seen how Da Lang and the others practiced when they were young. I know that it is not just physical pain, but often a tempering of one's spirit and will."
The fact that you were able to get through that period proves that you are a woman with a strong will to achieve your goals.
Although you've only been by my side for less than two years, you've saved my life several times. I'm both grateful to you and feel sorry for you.
Qiu Xiang, you truly are an irresistibly lovable young lady.
