"What did you say?" Yuan Mengge asked.
Li Xue'e's eyes flashed with intense anger as she said, "Your mother said that even if you spend two thousand yuan to buy ten old sows, they'll still give you a bunch of piglets. You married me into your Yuan family just so I could give you a son to carry on the family line. Are the daughters of our Li family some kind of golden branches and jade leaves? We can't even touch them?"
She even said I wouldn't let her touch me, I wonder if she's already slept with someone else... I'm afraid your brother will find out...
She argued with my brother in front of many people; many people heard it.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mengge's anger flared up, and she instinctively cursed, "That old hag, with such a foul mouth, I'll tear her mouth apart sooner or later!"
Only a few days after marrying Li Xue'e, that old hag started publicly insulting Li Xue'e's innocence and throwing mud at her.
No wonder she had never heard a kind word about her own mother from this old woman since she was a child; all she heard were curses, disdain, and contempt for her. The old woman also went around telling the neighbors bad things about Li Xue'e, ruining Li Xue'e's character and reputation.
So that's when it started.
Hearing this, Li Xue'e quickly tugged at her sleeve: "Calm down, no matter what, she's still your mother... You can say things like that, but don't take it seriously."
Yuan Mengge snorted coldly and said, "Then you'll just have to put up with it? Aren't you angry? If you keep swallowing your anger like this, she'll only scold you more and more harshly in the future."
Li Xue'e fell silent. As a newlywed daughter-in-law, she should have been more tolerant in order to have a better life in the Yuan family in the future.
But she's human too, and she was genuinely angry when she heard those words.
But how could she, a newlywed, dare to quarrel with her mother-in-law after only a few days of marriage?
So he had no choice but to swallow his grievances.
In the past, she would definitely have thought that way.
She had been struggling with her thoughts all night and wasn't ready to make a decision yet, but after discovering her mother-in-law and Yuan Dasheng's true colors this morning, she suddenly understood why Yuan Mengge wanted her to leave the family.
With Yuan Mengge already helping her pay off two-thirds of the bride price, she can act without any worries!
Even if she returns the rest to the Yuan family later, she doesn't want to stay in this house for another day!
She began to look forward to the scene Yuan Mengge described: she would earn her own money and spend it as she pleased, living a carefree life in seclusion, without considering the Yuan family or the Li family. Just thinking about it made her feel so relaxed and happy!
After making this difficult decision, she suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Li Xue'e whispered in her ear, "I want to leave, I want to leave your house, can I really do it?"
Although she made this decision, it was the first time in her life that she had made a decision according to her own ideas, which made her feel hopeful and eager, but also somewhat lost and uneasy.
Yuan Mengge held her hand tightly and nodded, saying, "With me here, you don't need to worry about anything! Leave everything to me! Let's leave this house together!"
Li Xue'e held her hand in return. The warmth and strength she felt in her hand reassured her a little, and she nodded: "Mm."
"What are you two whispering about?" Yuan Shuyun, who had been watching the two whispering since earlier, couldn't help but ask.
I have a feeling these two are plotting something?
Yuan Mengge turned to look at her and said, "I'm not telling you~"
Yuan Shuyun: "...???"
Li Xue'e also gave her a meaningful smile.
Yuan Shuyun could tell from their expressions that they had no intention of telling her.
After the bus arrived at Bailang Town, the three of them got off the bus.
It's already past 3 pm, so you can relax and watch the sunset at the beach.
But it was too late and there were no more buses to get back.
So, if you want to watch the sunset at the beach, you either drive there yourself or stay overnight in town and leave the next day.
As a result, there are several more hotels in this town than in other small towns.
However, the smart ones will arrange a time with the car driver so that the driver can pick them up after sunset.
After Yuan Mengge and her two companions got off the bus, they hailed a luxury car.
"Where are you going, girls? To Baimei Bay?" An uncle drove up in his Fengcai car to solicit customers.
Yuan Mengge inquired about the price at Baimei Bay, saying, "Master, how much?"
"Ten yuan for the three of you!" the uncle replied.
Upon hearing the price, Yuan Mengge felt it was a bit expensive.
At that time, a fare of ten yuan would be equivalent to seventy or eighty yuan thirty years later.
But the distance from here to the beach is less than three kilometers, so ten yuan is indeed a bit expensive.
Upon hearing the driver's price, Yuan Shuyun and Li Xue'e said, "Driver, isn't this too expensive? Even with three of us, no one usually charges ten yuan."
Li Xue'e nodded and said, "That's right, are you trying to rip us off just because we're three girls?"
The uncle tilted his head and said, "It's ten yuan. Take it or leave it. Go ask other people if it's ten yuan for three people."
Yuan Mengge then walked over to another Fengcai car and asked the driver, "How much does it cost for three people to go to Baimei Bay?"
The second driver, an older woman, replied, "Eight yuan, wanna go?"
Yuan Mengge nodded, then turned to Li Xue'e and called out, "Sister Xue'e, come here, let's ride in this car."
Upon hearing this, Li Xue'e and Yuan Shuyun turned around and walked towards her, got into the car, and asked her, "How much?"
Yuan Mengge said, "You'll find out soon enough."
After the car drove out of Bailang Town, Li Xue'e and her companion didn't ask any more questions, knowing they would find out when they paid.
The driver of the Fengcai car was driving along the road to the seaside.
The road to the beach is also a dirt road, but someone has already taken over the development project here and is currently recruiting workers to build a cement road and a seaside resort hotel.
After dropping them off at the roadside entrance to the sea, the driver pointed out a shortcut: "This path leads to the coconut grove. Once you pass through the coconut grove, you can see the sea."
The three of them followed the path she indicated and entered the coconut grove.
The afternoon sun was still quite strong, but it became much more comfortable after entering the coconut grove.
The three of them walked through the coconut grove and came to see the sparkling sea and the beach.
It's early spring now, and it's a bit chilly to come to the beach to feel the sea breeze, but the weather is nice today, the sun is out, and it's still a good time to enjoy the scenery at the beach.
Yuan Mengge had already started taking off her shoes, carrying them in both hands as she walked barefoot onto the soft sand towards the beach.
