But the fat wife was a community leader, so she didn't feel embarrassed and continued, "I think your mother is thinking about you. You are pregnant, but you can't control your man. What are you going to do when you are in good shape in the future?"
"It's not easy to be a daughter-in-law, especially for a daughter-in-law who lives with her mother-in-law. If you want to sleep in, she'll bang the spatula against yours. If you want to go shopping, she'll say it's not easy for her son to earn money. If you want to eat meat, why buy this if it's not a festival?"
"When her son is at home, the food is not that good, but at least she can cook two dishes. When her son is not at home, she eats plain noodles every meal, and her son's leftovers, saying that there are not many people at home, so she can just make do with it? Why doesn't she treat me like a human being, and she doesn't let me treat her like a human being either?"
The fat wife also looked quite resentful: "Forget it, I've put up with it, but I'm about to give birth, and I don't know where they found a bunch of yellowed, moldy, tattered clothes for children, saying they're going to wear them for the child."
"I was afraid to give birth because she said that if something went wrong, the baby must be protected. I asked my biological mother to come over, but she told me there was no such rule."
"What bullshit rules! I'm a girl raised by my parents and I'm giving birth to her son's child. She said in front of me that if there's danger, she must protect the little one. Does she take my life seriously? Can I not ask my own mother to come and help keep an eye on it for me?"
Li Hongli listened and couldn't help feeling scared again.
Thinking back to how confused and mean the two old ladies were just now, she heard them all so clearly.
Those two old ladies are the feudal remnants of the old society. Now that we are in a new society, they still want to pass on their old ways of suffering to their daughters-in-law.
It's not something glorious, and yet you want to inherit it.
At this time, when she heard the fat wife talk about the various hardships she had suffered after marriage, she realized that what she had just heard was just the tip of the iceberg.
"Why?" She didn't understand: "The daughter-in-law has never offended the mother-in-law, so why can't the mother-in-law see the daughter-in-law doing well?"
"Why? They are jealous. They can't see other women living a good life, so they want their daughters-in-law to experience the same suffering they have experienced. Only then will they feel comfortable." The fat daughter-in-law said, "Isn't this a psychological disorder?"
"Yeah, there's something wrong." Li Hongyan also started cursing.
At this moment, the only old lady in the ward was holding her breath and didn't even dare to look over here.
Her daughter-in-law in the sickroom listened and laughed, but said nothing.
Chen Xiaoying left the hospital and was about to go back to the hotel to see if her little daughter Li Hongxia had returned, when she met Ma Xiufen who was rushing there. The two of them were like enemies meeting and they were extremely jealous of each other.
"Why, do you still want to cause trouble for my daughter in the hospital?" Chen Xiaoying was not afraid of her and bent her sleeves.
Ma Xiufen thought of Chen Xiaoying's strength and those big ears, and couldn't help but take a step back, saying sourly: "How dare I? You mother and daughter are so powerful that you have taken my Xiaodong to the police station and locked him up."
"Then what do you want to do here?" Chen Xiaoying said coldly.
Ma Xiufen thought of her son who was afraid that he would go to jail. If she raped him, wouldn’t he be sentenced to death?
"Well, I just want to ask, how much compensation do you want in order for your family to let my son go." At this point, Ma Xiufen could only bow her head.
Chen Xiaoying laughed: "Is this the attitude to solve the problem? If you had the same attitude this morning, would we have to fight?"
Ma Xiufen smiled dryly.
Chen Xiaoying thought about it, turned around, and prepared to go back to the hospital: "Let's go back to the hospital. Don't talk here. Because of this matter, Hongli's father was also hospitalized because of anger. She was also hospitalized. Tell me, your son has hurt my family like this, and he wants to eat and run away. Can we let it go?"
At this time, Ma Xiufen had nothing to say.
When the two old ladies arrived at the hospital, Chen Xiaoying went to find Li Pingwang first.
Li Pingwang was asking the eldest brother Li Hongwei at this moment: "Where is your second sister? How is the matter going?"
Li Hongwei shared the same idea as his elder sister Li Hongyan: "You are so old now, just take care of yourself, don't let me get you angry again."
Li Pingwang was still angry: "What a shameless thing! When I see her later, I will beat her to death. She is so shameless."
He cursed so vigorously, what's wrong with him?
Chen Xiaoying walked in with Ma Xiufen: "This is Hongli's father. You can tell him about Hongli and Xu Xiaodong."
She divorced her old investor Li Pingwang, but her children have grown up and she has grandchildren, so there is no question of dividing custody or which child belongs to whom.
Even if a couple is no longer together, their children still belong to both the husband and wife.
Chen Xiaoying just didn't want to end up being blamed and slandered by Li Pingwang.
In this society, if you take someone's surname, you are assumed to be a member of that family, and it seems that only the father has the final say in major matters.
She was too lazy to argue about this, as long as she got the direction of things right.
Li Pingwang looked at the old lady in front of him with confusion.
Ma Xiufen just saw Li Pingwang swearing, and she intuitively thought that it was an old man with a bad temper. She was asked to smile, but she couldn't smile now. She could only repeat what she said to Li Hongli's mother Chen Xiaoying: "... I am Xiaodong's mother. I know that Xiaodong and Li Hongli are dating. It's just that Xiaodong said that they broke up. Unfortunately, Hongli is pregnant. I just want to ask how you want to solve this problem. I will try my best to satisfy you if I can."
After all, he still couldn't bear to give up the only daughter named Li Xiaomin, and didn't want Li Hongli.
Li Pingwang didn't have much of a brain, and didn't understand what was being said, so he said, "What else can we do? We already have a child, so we're definitely going to get married. Your family should prepare the wedding room quickly. As for the betrothal gift, we don't want much. We'll give as much as other families give. Five thousand yuan will be enough."
"What? Five thousand? And you want to get married?" Xu Xiaodong's mother Ma Xiufen immediately became anxious: "Didn't I tell you that they broke up? The baby in Li Hongli's belly was an accident. Our family can't keep it."
Chen Xiaoying sneered: "If you don't want it, then don't want it. Don't make it sound like you have some hardship and say you can't have it."
Li Pingwang's eyes widened. He realized now that it was Li Hongli's future husband and mother-in-law who refused to acknowledge it.
"My daughter already has a child, and you tell me it's an accident? You don't want to be responsible?"
Ma Xiufen said: "How can I be responsible? We broke up. My Xiaodong has already started dating another girlfriend."
At this time, Chen Xiaoying's eldest son Li Hongwei couldn't stand it anymore: "What do you mean? Are you saying that when Xu Xiaodong was dating my second sister, he was also dating another girl? Is he two-timing?"
"Let's put this scoundrel in jail for a dozen years first."
Didn't she dump his second sister Li Hongli and become an abandoned woman? To put it bluntly, isn't she just a slut that the man doesn't want?
Li Hongwei was furious.
His father Li Pingwang was even more furious, and almost jumped up from his sick bed: "There is nothing much to say. Now my daughter's health is not good for this child, and someone may die. You are just going to ignore it?"
