Looking at his grandson crying loudly, Zhu Hongping had no choice but to leave the clinic with his son-in-law in disappointment.
It was almost evening when I returned from the hospital after recovering from my injuries.
After crying for the entire afternoon, Ling Jiale was now sleeping soundly in Ling Jiang's arms.
Seeing her son's right arm wrapped in gauze and a board hanging around his neck, Li Li felt distressed and anxious, "How is Jiale?"
"My arm was broken, and it has been fixed. The doctor said if I take good care of myself, I will be able to recover in about half a month."
Li Li asked hurriedly, "Will this hand have any impact in the future?"
“It doesn’t matter.”
Hearing this, Li Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a busy day, Ling Jiang and Zhu Hongping didn't have time to eat lunch. Fortunately, Ling Chunhua was sensible and considerate, and left food in the pot for them in advance.
While Ling Jiang and Zhu Hongping were eating, Li Li asked about Zhu Hongping's son's injury.
Zhu Hongping didn't dare to tell the truth, but instead put all the blame on his neighbors.
"It's all their fault for piling river sand in the alley, which caused Jiale to fall and break his hand. I'll go ask them for medical expenses after dinner."
Hearing this, Ling Jiang immediately raised his head and said, "Mom, the river sand is loose and soft. Even if you kick or step on it accidentally, it won't break your hand."
Zhu Hongping glared at him, "What do you mean? Did I push Jiale down?"
Li Li actually felt that her mother's words were unreliable. How could one break an arm while walking? "Mom, how did Jiale fall? Tell the truth."
Seeing that his daughter didn't believe him, Zhu Hongping immediately said, "Well, you are a family that is all alike, and you are ganging up to bully an old woman like me! Fine, I will go back to my hometown after dinner and not be an eyesore to you guys anymore."
Zhu Hongping always threatened to take her back to the countryside, and Li Li was fed up with it.
"Mom, Zhu Laoliu from next door came to see me at noon and said that the river sand that he had cleaned up at the door in the morning was kicked all over the floor. Did you do that?"
"There are so many people passing by this alley, how can I be the one who did it? You believe everything outsiders say, are you turning your elbow outward?"
Seeing that Zhu Hongping refused to admit it, Li Li simply didn't give her face, "When you kicked the river sand, many people at the end of the alley saw it, and they also saw Jiale jumping on the river sand and falling down."
Zhu Hongping froze for a moment, but he still refused to admit defeat and muttered, "If he hadn't piled the river sand there, would Jiale be able to jump on it?"
Upon learning that it was his mother-in-law who caused his son to break his arm, Ling Jiang was so angry that he couldn't eat.
"Mom, I have no objection to you living here. You can stay as long as you want, but can you please behave yourself and stop causing trouble for the family? I work from dawn to dusk to do business, but I don't make much money in a day. If you make a fuss, I will have wasted half a month's work!"
Being scolded by his son-in-law, Zhu Hongping immediately got angry.
"Son-in-law, how dare you say that to me? Do you know that you are the unlucky star who brings bad luck to your family and wife? Zhijie is in jail, Li was hit by a motorcycle and broke her foot, and Jiale broke his arm because of you!"
Ling Jiang was so angry that he couldn't speak.
As a father, he should bear some responsibility for his son's injury, but what does Li Zhijie's imprisonment have to do with him? Was it him who held a knife to force Li Zhijie to injure and rob?
Li Li didn't expect her own mother to bring up the fact that Ling Jiang was a wife killer, so she subconsciously spoke out to stop him, "Mom, stop talking."
Zhu Hongping was very angry at the moment and would not listen to his daughter's advice.
"Why can't I say it? What did I say wrong? He is an unlucky star. He has brought disaster to his father and wife and children! Zhijie, me, you, and Jiale, all of us have been plagued by misfortunes. We are all cursed by him!"
Ling Jiang was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Mom, how could you say such a thing?"
"Why can't I say that my Jia Li is really unlucky to marry a jinx like you who has no money but a tough life!"
"If I had known that you were an unlucky star that would bring bad luck to your relatives and wives, I would never have married Li to you! My Li is pretty, virtuous and good at managing the household. There were many people who wanted to marry her at the beginning, and it wasn't necessary for you, Ling Jiang, to be the only one."
Ling Jiang couldn't win the argument with Zhu Hongping, so he turned to ask Li Li, "Do you think so too? Do you think I'm an unlucky star and have brought bad luck to your Li family?"
Li Li turned her face away uncomfortably, "I didn't say that."
Just because I didn’t say it doesn’t mean I didn’t think that way in my heart.
Ling Jiang threw away his chopsticks, feeling ridiculous and sad.
He worked hard for the family and never complained, but in the end his wife and mother-in-law saw him as a scourge to the family.
He didn't want to stay in this house for a moment.
Ling Jiang stood up and left. When he walked into the yard, his daughter Ling Chunhua grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"dad."
Meeting his daughter's concerned and worried look, Ling Jiang's eyes suddenly felt warm.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Not wanting his daughter to see his useless appearance, he quickly turned his face away, wiped his eyes, and then turned his head back again.
"Chunhua, do you want to go out with Dad?"
Ling Chunhua nodded, "Okay."
Ling Jiang forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Be good, go get your schoolbag."
"Um."
Watching the father and daughter leave the house, Zhu Hongping stood at the door of the main hall and muttered in a sinister tone: "Good job on leaving. It's better not to come back after you leave!"
Seeing Zhu Hongping like this, Li Li felt very uncomfortable.
This family cannot do without Ling Jiang, the pillar, but when she thinks of his unlucky fate, she becomes distressed.
She and her son were injured one after another, which made her firmly believe that her husband was unlucky.
"Mom, how about I divorce him?"
When Zhu Hongping heard that his daughter wanted a divorce, his expression changed immediately. "What divorce? Are you crazy? How are you going to live after the divorce?"
"Is Buli waiting to be killed? You saw it too. Chunhua injured her head some time ago, I injured my foot last night, and Jiale injured his hand today. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll lose my life one day!"
Zhu Hongping choked up, "Well, you can't get a divorce. If the people in the village knew you were divorced, I don't know how much gossip they would say behind your back."
"Are you worried about people gossiping about you and not caring about the lives of Jiale and me?"
Of course not.
After all, she was still hoping that her daughter would be able to help out more when her son was born.
"Li, don't worry. The reason why Wang Bapo couldn't resolve the evil spirit is that she is too incompetent. Let's find another master with a higher level of Taoism. I don't believe that we can't resolve the evil spirit of our son-in-law."
"Mom, you make it sound so easy. Do you think it's free to see a master? Where does the money come from?"
Zhu Hongping immediately said, "Silly daughter, have you forgotten? There is also the Yun family. We will go to school tomorrow and take care of your brother's affairs first. Are you still worried about not having money to spend?"
