The whole yard was filled with the echoing curses, every word was hurtful and unpleasant.
Fang Zhiqiang was already feeling depressed and angry because he lost 150 taels of silver.
Before he even entered the door, he heard his mother scolding his wife like that.
The anger that he had suppressed in his heart suddenly boiled over.
When he pushed the door open and went in, he saw his wife sitting in the yard, wiping her tears with her head down, and his mother was standing with her hands on her hips, cursing like a victorious old hen.
No matter who sees this scene, they will only think that it is a vicious mother-in-law bullying her new daughter-in-law.
Fang Zhiqiang thought so too.
"Mom! Cuihua is still pregnant, what's wrong with letting her rest?!
Do you really have to shout so loudly that everyone in the village will think that the baby in Cuihua's belly is not mine?!
"Then scream louder! I'd better get rid of your grandson too! Let our whole family die together!"
Fang Zhiqiang didn't lower his voice and shouted loudly.
When Fang's mother saw Fang Zhiqiang coming back, she was like an old hen seeing a weasel, and she immediately wilted.
"Qiangzi, that's not what Mom meant. It was that bitch Wang Cuihua who bullied your mom first!
She is not a good person, Qiangzi! She is deliberately trying to sow discord between us mother and son!"
Fang's mother hurried to explain, but Wang Cuihua said nothing. She just shed tears silently and looked at Fang Zhiqiang pitifully.
The scale in Fang Zhiqiang's heart immediately tilted towards Wang Cuihua.
"Mom! Don't treat me like a fool. I heard with my own ears how you cursed Cuihua!"
Fang Zhiqiang said this impatiently, and then pulled Wang Cuihua into the house.
Before entering the house, Wang Cuihua turned her head and glanced at Fang's mother with a smile, her eyes full of provocation.
Fang's mother's brain buzzed, and she yelled and rushed towards Wang Cuihua, pretending to hit her.
Wang Cuihua screamed and hid in Fang Zhiqiang's arms in fear, "Mom! Don't hit me, child! Oh, child! Fang Lang, help me!"
"Mom! That's enough!"
Fang Zhiqiang grabbed Fang's mother's wrist and scolded her harshly.
Fang's mother was stunned for a moment, looking at her son in disbelief as he yelled at her.
"Qiangzi, you, you yell at me like that for her?!"
Fang Zhiqiang let go of his mother's wrist, irritated and impatient, "Mom! Cuihua is pregnant! Why did you have to come over and beat her?!
What on earth did she do to you?! Even if you want her to work, can't you wait until she has a baby?!
Mom, can you please stop making trouble?!"
Fang Zhiqiang closed his eyes and pulled Wang Cuihua into the house.
Fang's mother staggered back two steps, her face full of disbelief.
Her son married twice, and she finally understood what it meant to forget his mother after getting married!
Fang's mother was extremely heartbroken and grief-stricken. She sat in the yard and wiped her tears silently.
Inside the house, Wang Cuihua snuggled in Fang Zhiqiang's arms and spoke softly.
"Fang Lang, don't blame Mother. She is our elder, and it's only natural that I should endure her scolding.
I am also willing to work, but I want to raise our son well and give birth to him safely.
I told my mother, but she said that when she was pregnant with you, she also worked. Fang Lang, how about I follow my mother to work tomorrow?"
"No need." Fang Zhiqiang refused without thinking.
"Mom is mom, you are you, you just need to take good care of the baby and give me a big fat son. I will go talk to mom."
Wang Cuihua's delicate hand stroked Fang Zhiqiang's chest, "Fang Lang, you are so kind. Fang Lang, did you encounter any problems outside?
I see you seem to be in a bad mood. We are husband and wife, a family. If you encounter something bad, you can tell me and we can work together to find a way to overcome the difficulties. "
Wang Cuihua's tenderness and affection quickly soothed Fang Zhiqiang's anger.
It suddenly made him want to talk.
But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he remembered that he had never told his family how he earned his money.
If Niang and Cuihua knew that he didn't do any work in town, but went to the gambling house...
There were too many things to go on about after that.
So Fang Zhiqiang swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and made up a new excuse.
"I'm in a bad mood today because I accidentally had my silver stolen by a thief in town."
"So that's how it is, Fang Lang. Don't be sad. This isn't something you wanted to do. But don't tell me about this, or I'll definitely blame you."
Wang Cuihua calmly began to plead with Fang's mother.
Fang Zhiqiang knew his mother's character. If she knew, she would definitely curse and yell all night long.
He nodded, "Well, I won't tell Mom."
Wang Cuihua leaned in Fang Zhiqiang's arms, looking at the image of Fang's mother eavesdropping outside reflected on the window behind Fang Zhiqiang, the smugness in her eyes gradually deepened.
In fact, Fang's mother did not hear the entire conversation between the two people in the room.
She only heard the key point: Wang Cuihua asked Qiangzi not to tell her mother anything, and Qiangzi agreed.
Fang's mother felt sad and turned back to her room.
The next day, Fang Zhiqiang went to the gambling house in high spirits. He believed that he would win today.
Yesterday was just bad luck.
But Fang Zhiqiang's win or loss has nothing to do with his luck.
He still lost, losing three hundred taels in one day, almost half of the money he earned in the gambling house!
He didn't have a penny left in his pocket.
As the sun set, he walked back to Taohua Village, intending to get some more money from his mother so that he could continue gambling tomorrow.
