The reason why Li Hongyan was anxious was that she had finally found a city girl who could make her proud, and she had already made the promise. If she didn't marry her now, wouldn't she be laughed at to death?
Besides, she had other plans in mind.
My daughter-in-law is registered in the county town. When she gives birth to a child, the child’s household registration will be registered in her family’s household registration book.
The housing prices in the county town are getting higher day by day. A house that used to cost a few thousand yuan now costs tens of thousands.
When her family sells the house one day, won’t her grandson get a share?
What if, she meant what if, what if her daughter-in-law's sister-in-law didn't give birth to a son, then this house would belong to her grandson.
Zhao Pengfei's unmarried daughter-in-law doesn't know that her future mother-in-law has already been scheming against her family. She has even been concerned about whether her eldest sister-in-law will give birth to a boy or a girl.
Zhao Xueyan coaxed Li Yujie in the room: "Go tell your grandma that your aunt is asking your dad for money."
Li Yujie was afraid of her father Li Hongqiang. Li Hongqiang didn't like girls. He became impatient when he saw her, glared at her, and shrank his neck and refused to go anywhere.
Zhao Xueyan was so angry that she didn't know what to do. She thought, even if she asked for the money now, she might not get it right away. She would tell her mother-in-law later.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Li Hongqiang come into the room and go straight to the closet to look for something.
"What are you looking for?" She sat up from the bed and asked vigilantly.
"What does it have to do with you?" Li Hongqiang looked impatient, took something out of his trouser pocket, and walked out the door.
Zhao Xueyan was anxious, but she was afraid that Li Hongqiang would fight with her, so she cried, "Are you trying to give money to your elder sister? You don't even have a house, and you're still lending her money?"
"I earn the money, I can borrow it whenever I want." Li Hongqiang didn't take Zhao Xueyan seriously at all.
"No, we are married, I gave birth to your child, and your money is my money." Zhao Xueyan said these words when she recalled the time when her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying picked up a kitchen knife and chased after Li Pingwang to chop him.
"Get out of here."
Li Hongqiang pushed Zhao Xueyan away.
Zhao Xueyan was anxious and burst into tears: "Li Hongqiang, you are not a human being. Do you still want to live like this?"
"If you don't want to live, then get out." Li Hongqiang glared at him, not caring at all.
Li Yujie, who was standing by, also started crying out of fear.
"Dad, Mom, please stop fighting."
The people outside the yard could all hear the noise in the house.
Chen Xiaoying came out of the kitchen and asked Li Pingwang: "What's going on?"
Li Pingwang said indifferently: "Who cares? They can't keep quiet even during the New Year."
Li Hongyan felt guilty, but her face showed no guilt at all. She said casually, "Who knows, Mom, you are old, don't worry about young people's affairs."
Zhao Pengfei said nothing.
Zhao Pengbo and Zhao Pengle saw that he didn't say anything, so they didn't say anything either. However, they knew in their hearts what the quarrel was about, and both of them just wanted to go home quickly.
Chen Xiaoying thought about it but stood there without moving. A few words about money were heard from the room. Chen Xiaoying's face changed immediately, she threw off her apron and rushed in.
Li Hongqiang punched Zhao Xueyan right in the face.
"Li Hongqiang, it's New Year's Day and you beat your wife. What do you want to do?" She was almost mad with anger.
He rushed over, picked up a clothes rack beside him, and started beating Li Hongqiang: "I will beat you to death, you useless thing. Only useless men beat their wives. I will beat you to death."
Zhao Xueyan fell on the bed and cried bitterly: "I can't live like this anymore, divorce, divorce."
Li Hongqiang felt pain, thinking that there were his elder sister and brother-in-law outside, as well as several nephews. Zhao Xueyan was crying and making him lose face. "Let's get a divorce. After the divorce, let's see who you, a sickly girl, can marry."
Zhao Xueyan stopped crying for a moment, but after a moment, she started crying again.
Just now he was venting his frustration, this time it was crying, full of despair.
Chen Xiaoying felt sad when she heard this.
Li Pingwang was already yelling in the yard: "It's New Year's Day, why don't you calm down? Why are you crying? Do you want your whole family to have bad luck this year?"
Li Hongyan guessed why the fight broke out, and she was embarrassed. She came in with a sullen face and questioned Zhao Xueyan: "Xueyan, the third brother is Pengfei's uncle. Pengfei is getting married, and it's normal for the third brother to express his feelings and give some money. What qualifications do you have to stop him?"
"All the money was earned by him. Is there a penny earned by you?"
Of course not. Zhao Xueyan is at home taking care of the children. She also has a congenital heart disease and cannot do heavy work.
Zhao Xueyan cried non-stop out of grievance and pain, and couldn't stop.
Chen Xiaoying was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Who do you think you are? No matter how bad Zhao Xueyan is, her mother died early, and there is still her father, and there is also me, the mother-in-law. Who can you take the lead in saying that?"
Li Hongyan frowned: "Mom, there is no reason for a wife to ride on her husband's head in our family."
"Your Zhao family has it?" Chen Xiaoying immediately mocked her.
Li Hongyan's face suddenly turned red.
"Hongqiang, what are you holding? Bring it here, let me see." Chen Xiaoying stared at what Li Hongqiang was holding in his hand.
Li Hongqiang looked impatient: "Mom, can you please stop interfering in my business?"
"I'm your mother, I have the power to control it, will you give it to me or not?" Chen Xiaoying's attitude was extremely tough.
"Mom." Li Hongyan wanted to speak. If the money fell into her mother's hands, she would never be able to get it back.
Chen Xiaoying glared at her fiercely: "Don't say anything. You have no right to speak about the Li family's affairs."
She, the third child, may be stupid, but she has her own little thoughts. And although she has her own little thoughts, some of the things she does are very stupid.
For example, he was eager to give his own money to his elder sister Li Hongyan, but he would not give it to his own wife and children.
After all, she has a people-pleasing personality a bit like her father Li Pingwang. Also, because Zhao Xueyan didn't dare to have any more children, as she felt she would have no descendants and would have no one to rely on when she was old, she gave all the money to her eldest sister to support her three nephews.
Li Hongqiang felt that his mother was holding him back: "Mom, you know clearly that I will never have a son in this lifetime, why are you still forcing me to support this family?"
"With a son, there is a home, Mom!"
His eyes turned red from frustration and he almost cried out loud.
His mother doesn't understand his heart at all. Think about it, he has no son, so won't he still rely on his three nephews when he gets old?
With his three tall and strong nephews standing there, who would dare to bully him?
Chen Xiaoying had been an honest person all her life in her previous life. In this life, she has become more open-minded and knows more. She can talk a little, but when faced with a blockhead like the third brother, she has no idea how to persuade him.
Moreover, from what he said now, he actually blamed her for finding a bad wife for him.
Isn't this like stabbing him in the heart with a knife?
"You think Xueyan is not good, have you ever looked in the mirror and seen yourself?"
"Do you have a proper job? Are you good-looking? Is our family rich? Is it your turn to be picky?"
"Besides, how did you marry Xueyan in the first place? Tell me yourself!"
He disliked Zhao Xueyan. At that time, no one in the surrounding village was willing to marry her.
Zhao Xueyan is sick. She inherited her mother's congenital heart disease. Her mother died when she was less than 40 years old. People were afraid that Zhao Xueyan would be like this if they married her. Then, not to mention having children, all the betrothal gifts would be wasted.
Her family didn't want one at first, and the wife they found for the third son was from another village. She was tall and strong, and looked like a good worker. However, he looked down on her because he thought she was too big and strong.
