"If she's so happy, why would she refuse you? She's your wife now, so she has no reason to refuse. Once she has the baby, can she run away? There's a saying that you can run away from the monk but not the temple. Once she has the baby, that child is her temple, and she can't escape!"
"I also want her to have a child, but she won't let me touch her now. How can she have a baby?"
"So you have to go along with her and make her happy. Don't upset her or make her angry. Just do as we say. Take her to Uncle Wu's house in the county town today, and let her drink a lot tonight. When she's drunk, you'll have your chance... like this and that... I'll call your Aunt Wu and ask her to help you... You two can stay there for a couple more days..."
Li Xue'e stood outside the door, listening to their conversation with disbelief on her face. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, feeling shocked, angry, and disgusted.
They actually wanted to use this method to force her to submit? They wanted her to have a child, to use the child to tie her down?
She had heard from her sister-in-law that they were not good people, and she thought that it was one thing for her son to be like that, but at least her mother-in-law treated her quite well.
But she never expected that her mother-in-law would be two-faced, and would even devise such a disgusting scheme against her for her son.
She never expected Yao Dongqing to be this kind of person!
No wonder her sister-in-law had told her before that her mother wasn't a good person.
She thought her sister-in-law was just saying it casually, after all, no daughter would really hate her mother.
Now it seems that my sister-in-law wasn't just saying it casually...
Li Xue'e covered her mouth, slowly backed away, and then went to the kitchen and sat down by the stove.
Anger, disgust, and resentment mingled in her heart, making her feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.
My eyes welled up with tears, my nose stung, and tears started streaming down my face.
They heard the main door of the house being opened and someone coming down from it.
She quickly wiped away the tears on her face, concealing her expression.
Seeing Yao Dongqing walk in, she suppressed her discomfort and smiled slightly at Yao Dongqing: "Mom, you're up."
Yao Dongqing nodded and asked in a calm tone, "Hmm, is the rice cooked?"
Li Xue'e: "It's cooking, it'll probably be boiling soon. I put in four cups of rice, is that enough?"
Yao Dongqing nodded: "That's enough. I'll go pick some vegetables and stir-fry them later. By the way, you don't need to do the laundry today. After breakfast, you and Dasheng go to the county town to see his fifth uncle. He couldn't come to your wedding last time because of something, so you can pay him a visit today."
Li Xue'e knew about this fifth uncle; she knew before she got married that Yuan Dasheng had an eldest uncle and three other uncles.
Yuan Xiangyong is the second oldest son. On his wedding day, his eldest uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle came. His fifth uncle said that he had something important to attend to and could not get away, so he only asked his fifth aunt to bring his younger cousins to attend.
Now, almost all the elders in the family have met the new bride from the Yuan family, except for this fifth uncle.
Therefore, Yao Dongqing planned to let Yuan Dasheng take advantage of this opportunity to meet his fifth uncle to let him have some fun with Li Xue'e and cultivate their relationship.
So Yao Dongqing said to Li Xue'e, "You two had a bad day when you returned home, so go out and have some fun these next couple of days to relax. Stay at Uncle Wu's house for a couple more days, then go to Black Sheep Ridge and White Plum Bay, go see the sea, go pray to Buddha, and ask the Guanyin of Fertility for a talisman to give us more sons."
Li Xue'e forced a smile and said, "Well... Mom, you've arranged everything..."
If she hadn't overheard those words earlier, she would have truly believed that Yao Dongqing was doing it for her and her husband's good.
She felt like something was stuck in her chest, making it hard to breathe and causing her to feel nauseous. She had no appetite at all.
At the same time, I started to feel nervous.
What should we do? If she goes to the county town with Yuan Dasheng, won't he get his way?
We need to find a way to get my sister-in-law to go with us!
With her around, Yuan Dasheng's plan is definitely doomed...
But if you tell them you want to bring your sister-in-law along, they definitely won't agree.
Li Xue'e thought for a moment and decided that she could only wait until her sister-in-law came back and then secretly tell her.
"By the way, don't tell A-Ping about this. If that brat finds out, she'll definitely want to come with you. Don't take her; she'll only ruin the atmosphere." Yao Dongqing seemed afraid that Li Xue'e would tell Yuan Mengge about this, so she reminded her.
Li Xue'e bit her lip and replied, "Okay... I won't tell her..."
Yao Dongqing smiled contentedly and went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.
After seeing her go to the vegetable garden, Li Xue'e immediately got up and went up to the main house.
She opened the door and saw Yuan Dasheng still lying on the bed in the living room. She glanced at him and went straight back to her room.
After entering the room, she closed the door, sat down at the table, took out her notebook, and wrote a passage on it.
Then close the notebook and place it under a textbook next to it.
She was afraid that Yuan Dasheng or Yao Dongqing would come in and see this message, so she wanted to wait until Yuan Mengge came back and then subtly remind her to take a look.
She then got up, turned around, and walked out of the room.
As I walked through the living room, I suddenly heard Yuan Dasheng on the bed say, "Wear a nice outfit later, and I'll take you to Uncle Wu's house in the county town."
Li Xue'e stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at him, and replied, "Oh."
After a while, Yao Dongqing returned from the vegetable garden, picked some vegetables, and then started washing them.
Li Xue'e looked at the rice in the big pot, glancing occasionally toward the direction of the courtyard entrance.
I was a little anxious because Yuan Mengge hadn't come back yet.
What if Yao Dongqing is in a hurry to send her and Yuan Dasheng out before she even returns?
I hope Yuan Mengge can come back soon...
Yao Dongqing and Yuan Dasheng were hoping that this brat would come back later today, preferably after they had all left.
These past two days, Yuan Mengge has given them the impression of being a troublemaker; whenever she appears, she causes trouble.
They only feel safe in this home when she's not around.
As soon as she returned, the three members of the Yuan family felt inexplicably on high alert, as if they were seeing enemies everywhere.
Yuan Mengge had no idea that Li Xue'e was anxiously waiting for her at home. However, she didn't have anything else to do today. After completing her run and clocking in as usual, she had breakfast in town and then walked home as usual.
When she got home, she saw Yuan Dasheng and Li Xue'e dressed in new clothes, looking like they were about to go out.
"Where are you going?" she asked immediately.
Yao Dongqing immediately said, "It's none of your business! Your sister-in-law and brother aren't home today. You wash the clothes, clean the room and the yard, and then go up the mountain to collect some firewood."
