"You are so useless." Li Hongyan has always been rude to her third brother's wife Zhao Xueyan, and the scolding she gave was very unpleasant.
Zhao Xueyan was also a person with self-esteem. She was also angry when her elder sister-in-law pointed at her and scolded her: "You always scold me, why don't you scold your brother? Your brother doesn't live a good life with me, why are you scolding me?"
Li Hongyan was scolded by Zhao Xueyan, whom she looked down upon. She looked incredible: "You still have the nerve to complain about me scolding you. You can't control your man, and you don't look for the problem in yourself. How dare you scold me?"
Seeing that Li Hongyan was angry, Zhao Xueyan was a little scared. She stood up hurriedly and said, "The store is still busy. I should go back."
Li Hongyan grabbed her again and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You haven't even made your words clear."
Zhao Xueyan was so anxious that she wanted to stamp her feet: "Sister, what on earth do you want to do?"
Li Hongyan then said: "If you are obedient, I will tell you, I will definitely be able to get the third child back to you."
Zhao Xueyan was stunned: "How do I do this?"
Li Hongyan said: "You tell him like this..."
Chen Xiaoying didn't expect that her way of refusing was secretly instigated by her eldest daughter Li Hongyan to give it to the third daughter-in-law Zhao Xueyan, who asked Zhao Xueyan to call the third son.
The third son, Li Hongqiang, answered his wife's call, but he was full of impatience: "Why are you calling me? You want me to ask for money? I don't have any. I'm working so hard here, and you're enjoying a comfortable life in your hometown while I'm working hard to earn a little money. You call me every day to ask for money. Do you want to die?"
Zhao Xueyan was scolded by Li Hongqiang, and she subconsciously became timid: "Third brother, I, I mean, our mother misses you."
The third child, Li Hongqiang, didn't believe it: "Our mother misses me? Our mother only has the eldest child in her eyes, not me at all, so she doesn't need to worry about my life or death."
He always felt that his biological mother Chen Xiaoying was partial to the eldest brother's family. Whenever she made some money, she gave it all to the eldest brother's family. The hot pot restaurant was hers, but she insisted that it belonged to Li Yutong. She also worked in the breakfast shop, but she insisted that the secret recipe was given by Li Yutong, and she wanted to give half of it to the eldest brother.
Where did she put her other six children?
Li Hongqiang felt heartbroken.
Zhao Xueyan listened to the third sister's endless complaints and realized that she had not taken seriously the lies her elder sister had told her in the past. However, Li Hongqiang, who always believed in his eldest sister, took it seriously.
"It's not what you think. Xiaoyu really figured it out herself." She explained to the man subconsciously.
Li Hongqiang was very impatient: "You are out of your mind. Who are you from? You are speaking for the eldest brother's family. If you have the ability, why don't you go to the eldest brother's house?"
That's really harsh.
Zhao Xueyan almost cried in anger: "Li Hongqiang, what you said is not human language, I am your wife, you support me, it is your duty, you don't give me money, you just fool around with other women outside, right? I know everything."
Li Hongqiang suddenly felt guilty: "Who told you that? I didn't do that."
Zhao Xueyan knew that he would definitely not admit it: "You didn't, so where did you spend your salary? Do you know that if we can't pay the mortgage, we will lose our house?"
"It's gone, it's gone." Li Hongqiang didn't care. In his eyes, "It's the same if we live in the village. Our mother just has a lot of money to burn. She just built a new house in the village. Why does she have to live in the county town if she can't live in the village?"
"Only county towns have good schools," Zhao Xueyan said anxiously.
"Your daughter is not good at studying. Why do you care about her? If she is really good at studying, she will shine like gold anywhere and no one can hold her back." Li Hongqiang spoke completely irresponsibly.
When she was in the village, Zhao Xueyan had the same idea. If her daughter Li Yujie didn't like studying, then she shouldn't study. After all, she was a girl and would marry into another family when she grew up.
It doesn’t matter whether you study or not.
But when I arrived in the county town, I saw that other families treated their daughters equally and supported their daughters' education. There were also promising only daughters who became filial to their parents after graduation. Everyone was working hard for their children.
She doesn't care, as if she is not a qualified mother and she doesn't fit in.
Now after listening to Li Hongqiang's words, she realized how foolish she was at the beginning.
"Li Hongqiang, you should come back soon. Our mother and elder sister know that you are not a good person outside. You play cards, drink water, and fool around with other women. Be careful, or our mother will come looking for you."
Zhao Xueyan couldn't convince Li Hongqiang, so she could only bring up her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying to scare him.
Li Hongqiang hesitated for a moment, but he said, "Whatever."
Li Hongqiang was about to hang up the phone.
Zhao Xueyan was anxious: "Li Hongqiang, if you do this again, I will divorce you."
The answer to her was the sound of Li Hongqiang hanging up the phone.
Zhao Xueyan was so heartbroken that after hanging up the phone, she ran to a small river in the county town, hid there and cried for a long time. When she felt there was nothing wrong, she could go back.
However, her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying noticed that her eyes were obviously slightly red and swollen: "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Is it due to overuse of eyes or conjunctivitis?
She was puzzled, then looked at Zhao Xueyan's expression and realized that she had cried.
Zhao Xueyan lowered her head, hesitant to speak to her mother-in-law.
Chen Xiaoying took Zhao Xueyan to a secluded place on the second floor and asked her.
Only then did she realize that the third daughter-in-law listened to the eldest daughter Li Hongyan and threatened the third son with divorce, asking him to come back and stop fooling around outside.
They all thought that if Zhao Xueyan threatened Li Hongqiang with divorce, Li Hongqiang would definitely be anxious, but he didn't care.
Chen Xiaoying's face darkened.
Zhao Xueyan was at a loss and couldn't help crying: "Mom, tell me, does the third brother really want to divorce me? That's why he didn't care when I said it."
"Mom, does he have someone outside?"
This person outside is not the kind of person who is just playing around. He is the one who is planning to kick out the old hag in his hometown and marry the woman over there.
Chen Xiaoying snorted and said coldly: "If he dares, I will break his legs."
That's what she said, but Chen Xiaoying herself knew that it was impossible for her to break Li Hongqiang's legs. Even if she was determined to do so, the third brother Li Hongqiang would not let her hit him obediently.
He is a man in his thirties and can run much faster than an old woman like her.
If a person's nature is bad, no matter how you try to win him back, even if you win him back this time, he will always be itchy again next time.
After comforting her third daughter-in-law, Chen Xiaoying felt that it was time for her to go to the sawmill.
That evening, Chen Xiaoying discussed the matter with Li Yutong.
Li Yutong hesitated: "Grandma, I'm worried if you go alone."
After hesitating for a moment, he added, "I guess even if my dad goes, it won't work. You two will get carsick."
Her father had never been out of town. Even though he was a grown man, he would feel uneasy when he had conflicts with people there.
Moreover, the main thing was that the brothers were fooling around with women. The third uncle originally felt that he, as the eldest brother, was taking advantage and he was at a disadvantage, so he asked her father to solve the third uncle's problem.
It will only deepen the rift between the two brothers. In the previous life, the third uncle had a complicated attitude towards her father until his death.
When her father had no money, he looked down on him. When her father had money, he told everyone that her father looked down on him.
In a word, it is inferiority complex and vanity that are at work.
Chen Xiaoying thought about it, and then tentatively asked, "Then, let your aunt go with me?"
