Upon hearing her mother's words, Ning Xia's previously cold face cracked slightly, but then she noticed her second sister-in-law, Zhao Xueqin, rolling her eyes.
The heart that had wavered slightly immediately became firm again.
"Mother, I can't bear to hear your words. Why should I make you suffer when I can do things that are easy?"
You think Zhang Zhonghua is just talking, but he only gave me two choices: either stop interfering in my wife's family affairs and stay at home to take care of the children.
Either get a divorce, then he won't have to see you and be bothered by it.
I was heartbroken and unwilling to accept the choice he gave me. I never expected my sister-in-law to see me like this, thinking that I was stubbornly staying at my parents' house instead of going home during the Chinese New Year.
Mother, tell me, what am I doing this for?
At this point, large tears slid down her cheeks.
Ningxia sniffed, trying to hold back but couldn't: "I know I've been staying at my parents' house every day, and I'm getting in your way."
But I haven't been doing nothing all this time. Haven't I been helping out around the house, doing nothing at all?"
When she mentioned the phrase "idle and lazy," she specifically glanced at Zhao Xueqin.
As expected, Zhao Xueqin's face turned pale and then flushed when she heard Ning Xia's words. She felt a surge of resentment, but secretly glanced at her mother-in-law. Seeing that her mother-in-law wasn't looking at her, she felt a little more at ease.
"Xiazi, in the end, it's all my fault! I'm sorry, I'm useless. If my family had power and influence, the Zhang family wouldn't have dared to ask for this!"
Ning's mother realized that if she had said that normally, her daughter would have softened her heart and apologized to her long ago.
Even if they are wronged, they will swallow their anger and stop arguing.
But now, she felt a little panicked, as if she was losing control of her daughter.
Thinking of this, she looked up at the sky and cried even more bitterly. Sitting next to Ningxia, she lamented her own uselessness and how her husband had died young, which had made her family so poor and burdened her daughter, leaving her feeling helpless.
Hearing these repeated words, Ningxia felt exhausted for the first time.
She cried along with Ning's mother, crying about all the sacrifices she had made over the years, and wondering why she had suffered like this.
She cried until her throat became hoarse and she couldn't stop.
Ning Xia is young and strong, while her mother is old and can't bear to watch her daughter cry like this.
Before the wind and rain had even stopped, Ningxia's mother suddenly collapsed from exhaustion.
What should have been a peaceful New Year's Eve turned into a complete mess.
Seeing Ning's mother faint, and watching her eldest and second eldest brothers rush to help her up and take her to her room to lie down, Ning Xia remained an observer.
Sitting on the ground, she cried incessantly, tears streaming down her face, yet a strange sense of relief and ease welled up inside her.
It was as if the stone that had weighed on her heart for years had slowly been removed with her cries and tears.
When Zhao Xueqin saw that her mother-in-law had fainted, she knew that what she wanted to do this time was definitely not going to work out.
Passing by Ningxia, who was still crying, he spat inwardly and muttered, "Pah, troublemaker! She makes a mess of her own home and then comes to her parents' house to cause trouble."
Ningxia continued to cry after hearing this, but deep down she actually felt that what she said was true.
Yang Meizi, seeing her sister-in-law crying like this, chased the children out and went to pull Ningxia away.
She whispered, "Your mother has fainted, why are you still crying? Aren't you afraid the younger generation will laugh at you for crying like this?"
