"He even threatened me with my daughter, saying that if I didn't divorce him obediently, I would be offending Yu Xiaona, the mistress, and that after Xiaona got married, she would abuse my daughter."
At this point, Li Hongli started to cry: "I am so unlucky that I met a beast like Xu Xiaodong in this life."
I have never heard of a woman who is married and has children and is cheated on by a man asking for the return of all the betrothal gifts.
This is too bullying, and he also made her unable to have children in the future.
"He's going to cause trouble for me?"
Chen Xiaoying couldn't believe that Xu Xiaodong had the courage to do this?
Maybe in his eyes, she was just an old rural lady who ran a small restaurant. He was bullying her and her daughter, and there was nothing they could do to her?
"Well, Mom, what should I do?" Li Hongli said, wiping her tears.
Chen Xiaoying closed her eyes. She really didn't want to hear: Mom, what should I do? These three words were like a curse. Whenever Li Hongli said them, she felt a headache.
"Don't ask me what to do. Ask yourself if you can help me think of a solution. This is the man you were blind to marry, who bullied you and came to cause trouble for me, your mother. I am the innocent one." Chen Xiaoying stared at her: "Think of a solution for me."
Li Hongli could not have imagined that she came to remind her mother with good intentions so that her mother could find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
As a result, it actually became a pressure for her.
But, hearing what her mother said, it seemed like she was the one who caused the trouble.
"Mom." She lowered her head: "I, I really don't know what to do."
"So are you going to get a divorce or not? Do you want the child or not? Clear your mind, what do you really want?" Chen Xiaoying had been patient long enough.
Li Hongli's eyes flashed: "Mom, I don't want to divorce. Xu Xiaodong betrayed me and asked me to pay back the betrothal gift and give way to Yu Xiaona. I won't do it."
"Oh, you can choose not to do it, but the premise is that you don't cause me trouble. A few days ago, Ma Xiufen even came to ask me for child support." Chen Xiaoying laughed angrily.
The Xu family is so calculating. They snatched the child away by themselves, and then asked the woman, Li Hongli, to pay child support and return the entire betrothal gift of 30,000 yuan. It seems that the Xu family took all the benefits.
Li Hongli deserved to have her health ruined, her child lost, her money lost, and to be kicked out in disgrace!
Li Hongli heard about this from her third sister-in-law Zhao Xueyan. Her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen came to ask her mother Chen Xiaoying for child support.
Of course she also felt it was excessive.
Li Hongli pinched her fingers, frowned, and looked conflicted: "Mom, then, I'll listen to you, okay? I really can't think of any other way."
Chen Xiaoying looked at Li Hongli again and again before she breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you really willing to listen to me?"
Li Hongli nodded, looking eager: "Really, Mom."
"Afterwards, you won't regret it and you won't blame me?" Chen Xiaoying wanted to confirm with her.
Li Hongli nodded as usual: "No, Mom."
Chen Xiaoying thought about it and finally spoke: "You can divorce Xu Xiaodong and return the general betrothal gift, but the only condition is that the child must be given to you to raise, take your surname, and have nothing to do with the Xu family from now on."
Li Hongli was stunned for a moment, then she gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, I don't want them to have an easy time."
"Then how long will it take to delay?" Chen Xiaoying asked her: "Do you still think that Yu Xiaona will enjoy a good life after marrying into the Xu family?"
"Xu Xiaodong is a scumbag, Ma Xiufen is a wicked mother-in-law, and she still thinks she has found a good treasure and can live a good life?"
Li Hongli thought of the various unacceptable shortcomings of her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen, such as being sarcastic, ignorant and shameless, which were fine, but the key was the many other problems in her living habits, which she could not accept even more.
Otherwise, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wouldn't quarrel every day.
Li Hongli had nothing to say.
Chen Xiaoying sighed, went downstairs and made a phone call, asking Li Hongwei to come tomorrow, and then asked Li Hongli to tell Xu Xiaodong to find a middleman so that the two families could sit together and have a good talk about the divorce.
How to divide the property and who will have custody of the daughter, all of these need to be settled.
Li Hongwei answered the phone and agreed.
Liu Lanxiang said, "I heard from Xueyan that Hongli's mother-in-law is very shameless. She took the child away and asked our mother for child support. Why didn't she go to Li Hongli? She just wanted to blackmail our mother because she saw that our mother was rich."
Li Hongwei is not blind, so of course he can tell what Ma Xiufen does.
Liu Lanxiang was a quick-witted person who could not control her words. Plus, her sister-in-law was very gossipy. The two families lived in the same village and they knew each other every day, so she told her sister-in-law about the matter.
It was not a secret in the first place. The whole Lijia Village knew about Li Hongli's affair. They all laughed at Li Pingwang for having a second daughter who was a traitor.
Her sister-in-law told the matter to her mother-in-law, that is, her mother, Old Lady Liu.
Her mother, Old Lady Liu, quietly told her her analysis.
At this time, Liu Lanxiang told Li Hongwei exactly what her mother had said: "If the child cannot be brought in, the child support must be clearly stated. We can't just ask for as much as they want. Our mother has money, so don't ask for a thousand today and ten thousand tomorrow. How can we use the child as a hostage and let the Xu family ask for as much as they want?"
"Besides, the child support money won't necessarily be used entirely on the child if the Xu family gets it back. Maybe the whole family will spend all their money on it. It means that my mother is supporting the entire Xu family. I have to think this through clearly."
Liu Lanxiang kept chattering about child support and child support.
The child support that Li Hongwei has to worry about is not just this one.
"Stop talking. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Li Hongwei was very impatient.
His father asked him for child support these days.
The old men and women in the countryside never asked for child support. It was all shared by their sons. It was the first time he heard of them asking for money by giving them rice, flour, grain and oil.
"I have to discuss our dad's child support with the second brother tomorrow."
Liu Lanxiang then remembered that her father-in-law was also asking for child support.
She sighed, day after day, there was no peace.
Other people's mothers-in-law make trouble all the time and make life miserable for their daughters-in-law, but in her family it is her father-in-law and elder sister-in-law who make trouble behind her back, which is even worse than the average evil mother-in-law.
Early the next morning, Li Hongwei rode his motorcycle to the county town.
In the store, the employees each have their own responsibilities, and she is always keeping an eye on things.
At that moment, she took Li Hongwei and Li Hongli and walked towards Xu's house.
Li Hongwei was uneasy: "Mom, are we going alone? The Xu family is unreasonable. If we can't talk them out, we might end up fighting."
Li Hongli knew that the Xu family was powerful. Uncle Xu also had two sons. Xu Dadong had gone out to work and was not at home. But with Xu Xiaodong, there were three men in total. If a fight broke out, her family would definitely suffer.
"Mom, call my second brother and fourth brother." Li Hongli said quickly.
