Even after cursing to her heart's content, Ma Xiufen still couldn't bear to eat it.

“What a waste.”

She brought the two meat dishes and the potato chips she had fried back to the kitchen, dipped a steamed bun in the sauce of fried peppers and tomatoes, and ate the whole thing.

If Yu Xiaona saw it, she would find that her mother-in-law had eaten a whole steamed bun, but the plate of food was not missing at all.

Yes, it is Ma Xiufen’s habit. She will cook this dish of fried peppers and tomatoes later and heat it up with water, and it will be another ready-made dish.

As for the taste, Ma Xiufen doesn't consider it.

Ma Xiufen thought it was just her own family matter, just a quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, what was the big deal.

Little did they know that Li Hongli was waiting to see Xu Xiaodong and Yu Xiaona make a fool of themselves, and had already given some benefits to the neighbor's daughter-in-law next door, and asked her about what was going on inside.

After people told her about it, she just laughed: "This old man tried his best to drive me away and marry Yu Xiaona. Let's see how good life will be in the future."

The daughter-in-law said: "They quarreled on the wedding night. Yu Xiaona looked like a gullible and naive girl, but she was very tight with money. Because of this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a fight."

"Early this morning, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled over dinner again."

"You divorced Xu Xiaodong, so you've finally gotten out of this hell. Otherwise, if you live with an old woman like this, you'll get sick sooner or later."

When Li Hongli was young, she heard that some wives in the village had become ill due to anger.

I thought it was exaggerated and wondered how anger could cause illness. But during the two months I spent in the hospital to protect my pregnancy, I saw too many women with illnesses, and then I realized that this was all true.

For example: breast nodules, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules, arrhythmia, etc. Except for a few people's genetic diseases, most of these are problems caused by a long-term depressing living environment.

What's wrong with this woman who seems to be so happy when she sees others living their lives?

These diseases are not fatal, but they affect the quality of life.

"Sister-in-law, thank you, Xu Xiaodong, Yu Xiaona, and Ma Xiufen. I feel relieved that their family of three is having a hard time." Li Hongli said with a smile.

Li Hongli asked around here and then went back to her mother Chen Xiaoying's store to gossip about Xu Xiaodong.

Zhao Xueyan couldn't help but say, "You said Xu Xiaodong married Yu Xiaona to make money from her family and to get her parents to find him a formal job. If that really happens, Xu Xiaodong will make a lot of money."

Li Hongli narrowed her eyes and began to think about how to make Yu Xiaona's parents give up this idea.

"Xu Xiaodong hasn't even graduated from junior high school. Even if we want to find him a formal job, it probably won't be possible."

Even the worst formal unit in the county town, with the best connections, required one to graduate from high school. Xu Xiaodong only attended the first grade of junior high school.

Zhao Xueyan said: "No matter what happened in the past, Xu Xiaodong is his son-in-law now. For their daughter to live a good life, Yu Xiaona's parents might really be willing to help."

The aunt and sister-in-law were talking, and Chen Xiaoying also heard it. She recalled the words and behaviors of Yu Xiaona's parents. They didn't seem to be brainless people, but they really spoiled their child.

Otherwise, an only child shouldn't be raised to be so naive.

However, if you look closely, they are already divorced, so it doesn't matter whether they are living a good or bad life.

Furthermore, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law may fight on the wedding night, even for the daughter-in-law's change of name fee. There will be many more fights in the future, so there is no need for Li Hongli to keep her eyes on this.

"Don't worry about Xu Xiaodong and Yu Xiaona's affairs in the future. These have nothing to do with you. This will save them from saying something about you in the future. You still can't bear to leave Xu Xiaodong and want to stick with him."

Li Hongli was disgusted when she heard this: "Mom, I was really blind at that time to like this loser. Now that I have seen through him, I will never continue to pester him."

"Then don't get involved. They can't live a stable life anyway," said Chen Xiaoying.

She had been to Yu Xiaona's home before. It was clean and hygienic. Even the cloth covering the radio was pulled neatly at all four corners. No matter how sloppy Yu Xiaona was, she couldn't stand growing up in such an environment and going to Ma Xiufen's home which was like a garbage dump.

"There will be many more days of fighting in the future," she said.

Li Hongli nodded and said, "Okay, I won't go there anymore."

Chen Xiaoying saw it cruelly. A person’s living habits formed since childhood cannot be changed.

Before long, even if Li Hongli didn't go, the sister-in-law would chat about the Xu family's affairs when she met Li Hongli on the street for the sake of benefits.

It was because Xu Xiaodong had too low an education level and couldn't find a good job, so they first sent him to work as a security guard in a food factory as a temporary worker.

Xu Xiaodong disliked the security job as he was responsible for guarding the gate, and he didn't want to go. The couple started arguing, and Ma Xiufen kept saying that Yu Xiaona's parents were not dedicated enough, otherwise, with her son's ability, he would have been in the office.

Why do people go to the office?

"A cup of tea, a cigarette, and a newspaper to read for half a day."

This is Ma Xiufen’s understanding of office work: it is easy work and profitable.

Yu Xiaona was furious. It was the first time she realized the disadvantages of having a low education level, which is that even if there is a good job, it may not be your turn.

Yu Xiaona also blamed Xu Xiaodong for not studying hard at that time.

Xu Xiaodong made an excuse: My family was poor at that time, what could I do?

In fact, it’s not that his family was poor. When his father died, his family paid him 10,000 yuan in compensation, which was enough for his tuition.

It was Xu Xiaodong himself. He was not a good student since he was young. He followed his older brother Xu Dadong in skipping school, fighting, and hanging out with gangsters outside. When he was just in the first grade of junior high school, he learned to smoke and drink, and climbed over the wall to skip classes. The school expelled him directly.

Many people want to go to school but can't, and the school is not willing to keep such black sheep.

Yu Xiaona quarreled with Ma Xiufen every day, about all kinds of things, even whether to put water in the dishes or pour soy sauce, they would argue for a long time.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do and that he had no money, Xu Xiaodong went to work as a security guard in a food factory. At least he got a day's pay and did not have to endure the pressure from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

When Chen Xiaoying heard that he was working as a security guard in a food factory, she was stunned.

"It seems that Yu Xiaona's parents really tried their best."

"Mom, what do you mean?" Li Hongli couldn't help but ask.

She and her granddaughter Li Yutong have shares in the food factory, and they receive a lot of dividends every year. The general manager of the food factory was introduced by Shen Jiaze, and he expanded the food factory, which initially had only a hundred employees, into a well-known food factory with more than two thousand people.

Apart from the taxes that minerals bring to the county, this food factory is the one that pays the most taxes.

The food factory makes money, and the way it gives back to its employees is the best employee benefits.

So, even though Xu Xiaodong is just a security guard in a food factory, he gets his salary on time, and during festivals, he also gets rice, flour, grain and oil. If he performs well, he can be converted to a regular employee in three years and have access to three insurances and one fund.
