In the clinic, when Chen Xiaoying brought the second child Li Hongjian there, Li Hongli was eating the meal her mother-in-law had prepared, including fried shredded potatoes, a bowl of millet porridge, and an egg.

It looked okay. Her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen was folding her clothes.

Chen Xiaoying looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They seemed like the most ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world. When the daughter-in-law was pregnant, the mother-in-law took care of her. When the mother-in-law got old and couldn't move, the daughter-in-law took care of her in turn.

This is the time when they can coexist peacefully, but once there is a problem with the man who maintains their relationship, they immediately become enemies.

"Mom, why are you here?" Li Hongli saw her mother Chen Xiaoying. She had been eating and drinking well recently, and her face had become as white and plump as a steamed bun.

"My in-laws are here. Please sit down. Please sit down quickly." Ma Xiufen had learned her lesson and quickly greeted them with a smile.

Chen Xiaoying looked at her and asked, "Do you know where your Xiaodong went today?"

The second son, Li Hongjian, looked very unhappy and stared at the old woman. Did she know that her son was fooling around with another woman?

Ma Xiufen blinked: "I don't know."

"Heh." Chen Xiaoying chuckled. She could see that Ma Xiufen must have known that her son was not honest, but she didn't know about the incident of sneaking into the small hotel today.

"Mom, when you go back and see Xiaodong, ask him to come and see me." Li Hongli said to her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen.

Ma Xiufen subconsciously defended her son: "Hey, why did you ask him to come? He is not a doctor. He can't understand your problem, and he doesn't know how to take care of people."

"What I mean is, I'm alone here and feel bored, and he wants to talk to me," said Li Hongli.

"What is there to say? You're really enjoying yourself lying in the hospital all day. My son has to work hard outside to earn money for your medical expenses. Just calm down." Ma Xiufen was quick-witted and said all these words in one go.

"Then the man doesn't have to make money. You see, the man comes here at least once a day. I've lived here for more than a month, and Xiaodong has only come twice. Once he asked you for the house key, and once he asked me for money. What's going on? He is too inconsiderate." Li Hongli said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, okay, a man should do great things. Who should revolve around his wife all day? You don't know what I was like at that time. I was pregnant and had to serve my parents-in-law and take care of the children. I took good care of your father-in-law. When he was at home, I even handed the chopsticks to him when he was eating. The way I take care of Xiaodong is far worse than when I took care of his father." Ma Xiufen became more and more excited as she spoke.

Li Hongli pouted, not wanting to talk anymore. She asked her mother Chen Xiaoying, who was watching her silently. The look made her feel uncomfortable. She looked at her second brother Li Hongjian, "Second brother, why are you here today? What's the matter?"

Her second brother Li Hongjian looked at his mother Chen Xiaoying. His sister was so pregnant, was he really going to tell her about Xu Xiaodong and another woman going to the motel?

Before he could think of playing, he heard his mother talking to Ma Xiufen: "Is your son doing something big and making money?"

Ma Xiufen's eyes flickered, she felt guilty: "Yes."

"Oh, in the eyes of you and your son, cheating women to get rich is the same as doing big business and making a fortune?" Chen Xiaoying asked bluntly.

Ma Xiufen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Chen Xiaoying knew something?

I haven't finished speaking.

Suddenly, a man came in from the doorway, half of his face was swollen, and there were blood streaks on his arms. Ma Xiufen was so scared that she almost jumped up: "Xiaodong, what happened to you?"

When Xu Xiaodong entered the ward, he found that his mother-in-law was also there. He felt guilty for a moment, but when he thought about what had just happened, even if his mother-in-law saw him, there was nothing she could do to him.

"It's okay. Give me some money first and I'll take a look. I feel uncomfortable on my face." His mother Ma Xiufen was circling around him, and he pushed her away impatiently.

Ma Xiufen grumbled, "Where do I have money? You are married, and all the money you earn is in the hands of your wife. How can I ask for your money?"

Li Hongli was just about to show concern for Xu Xiaodong, but when she heard what her mother-in-law said, she became unhappy: "When has he ever given me a penny? Didn't he give all his money to you? I saw it all."

Ma Xiufen denied it: "When did I give it to you? That's all untrue."

Xu Xiaodong felt uncomfortable being stared at by his mother-in-law and second brother-in-law: "Stop talking, give me the money quickly, it's important to get my treatment, why are you talking nonsense?"

"I don't have money." Ma Xiufen is stingy, but she finds that her daughter-in-law Li Hongli is even more obsessed with money. She is not angry, she really doesn't want to spend money.

"Hongli, Xiaodong is your man, how can you say such things?" Ma Xiufen said in disbelief.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaoying wanted to sneer.

It was like this in the previous life. Li Hongli and Xu Xiaodong each managed their own money. You wanted to spend my money, and I wanted to spend your money. I didn't give you a penny of my money. We quarreled every now and then, but we just wouldn't divorce.

Li Hongli said that she loved Xu Xiaodong, but she was reluctant to spend money on him.

In fact, the person she loves most is herself.

"He is a grown man who earns money outside all day long. How could he be out of money? He just wants to cheat me out of my betrothal money and spend it." Li Hongli said that she has always been on guard against him.

Ma Xiufen was furious. The mother-in-law's natural sense of superiority over her daughter-in-law's family immediately showed up: "Mother-in-law, look at your daughter. She insisted on marrying our Xiaodong, saying that she loved our Xiaodong. Look at Xiaodong's condition. She actually had the heart to not pay a penny. How could she do this? Go and talk to her."

Chen Xiaoying said expressionlessly: "What did I say to her? You didn't even ask how your son got this injury?"

Ma Xiufen had just been asked for money by Xu Xiaodong, so she forgot to ask when he interrupted her. Now she looked over and asked, "Who beat you up?"

Li Hongli also noticed it at this time, and immediately said: "Now we live in a society ruled by law. Hitting people is illegal. Whoever hits you, make him pay."

Xu Xiaodong's eyes subconsciously looked at Chen Xiaoying, but he quickly looked away.

His mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying laughed and said to Ma Xiufen: "The blood on his body was from me beating him with a feather duster. I hit him too lightly."

Hearing her contemptuous tone, Ma Xiufen was immediately furious: "This is my son, you hit him and you think you are right! Why do you hit my son? I have never hit your daughter."

"Why should I hit him? Let him speak for himself!" Chen Xiaoying glared at Xu Xiaodong.

Xu Xiaodong frowned and said, "Stop talking. Can you please give me the money quickly? I'll go take a look. Your face hurts a lot."

Ma Xiufen remembered that the bloody streak was caused by Chen Xiaoying. The fist that swollen her son's face couldn't have been done by an old woman like Chen Xiaoying. She immediately looked at Li Hongjian and asked, "You, you beat my son?"

Li Hongjian felt that he was wronged: "When did I beat him? I haven't seen him for a long time, but I saw him now."
