Chapter 161 This time you're dressed up for me to see.
That night, Li Fenfang couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Taking advantage of the fact that people weren't paying attention, she went to the young widow's house again.
This time, the young widow was at home, and her child lay sickly in bed, staring longingly at a bowl of porridge on the table.
The young widow was feeding her child when she wiped her hands and said, "Auntie, the child really is sick, otherwise I wouldn't be away from home, would I?"
"This child was getting a high fever, and you can imagine how I felt as her mother. I panicked and had to take her to the hospital right away." The young widow looked at Er Yatou with heartache, touched her little face, and said, "The children have really suffered with me, but what can you do when they don't have a father?"
After saying that, she started crying, a mix of real and feigned tears—
"Your father died young! He left me all alone, and I had to be both a father and a mother to him. Do you think it was easy for me?"
"Sometimes I don't even want to live anymore! My poor children!"
The children's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and they hugged the little widow and burst into tears.
"Mommy... Waaah..."
"Don't cry, Mommy, don't cry..."
"We will grow up obediently and earn money for our mothers when we grow up."
Why can't I say what's on the tip of my tongue? How can anyone start a conversation in this atmosphere? Li Fenfang wanted to speak, but she couldn't get a word in edgewise.
The young widow pretended not to hear what they said.
The children's voices were so shrill they seemed to lift the roof off. The young widow was yelling at the top of her lungs, and anyone who didn't know better would think she had said something offensive. Li Fenfang was so frightened that she quickly left.
It wasn't until she had walked quite a distance that Li Fenfang finally felt some peace and quiet.
Once the man had disappeared from sight, the young widow wiped her eyes and said, "Alright, let's eat."
Er Yatou jumped up in a flash, showing no signs of illness whatsoever.
The young widow twisted her body to close the door, and only after making sure no one was there did she take a roast chicken out of the cupboard.
The children hadn't had meat in a long time, so they pounced on it.
The young widow divided the roast chicken among the children, then picked up a bone and chewed on it herself, just to get a taste of what roast chicken really tasted like.
...
The young widow and the woman in the floral cotton-padded jacket were the ones who took the lead in demanding the money back. If they don't take the lead in returning the money now, no one else will return it.
Originally, Li Fenfang wanted to visit Hua Mian'ao again, but Hua Mian'ao went straight back to her parents' home the next day, supposedly insisting on divorcing her husband.
The rest of them insisted, "We didn't take any money!"
"It was an anonymous vote, how can you be sure I voted for Zhang Aijun? What evidence do you have that I took money?"
There wasn't even a written receipt when the money was given, so who would return the money for no reason now?
To be honest, the situation was so chaotic at the time that even the Zhang family couldn't remember who they had given the money to. How could they possibly get the money back?
Li Fenfang, along with the Zhang and Li families, wandered around Jiangjuntun like headless flies for several days, but still couldn't get a single penny back.
No, I also lost thirty.
Later, Li Feng's girlfriend dragged him into making a scene, and in the end, he still couldn't get the money back.
The Zhang and Li families were constantly at odds, arguing every three days and making a scene every five days. During this time, Li Zhaodi actually became pregnant!
“It’s not a good time for Li Zhaodi to get pregnant,” Zhang Suzhen said. “Once a woman gets pregnant, she thinks about giving the children a home and wants to make it work, so it’s not easy for her to get a divorce.”
"The Zhang family naturally thought that having a handle on them meant they could act with impunity."
Zhang Suzhen and Liu Nian were sitting in the doorway basking in the sun when they heard a roar coming from the Zhang family's doorway.
"You're pregnant, do you think divorce is so easy? Who would marry a woman with a child? You married into the Zhang family, so you're all on their side, and you're happy taking money from the Zhang family to give to the Li family?"
