Chapter 185 A major incident has occurred in the Song family!
"Pitiful? Brother-in-law, why don't you take a look for yourself?"
After Xie Jianshe finished speaking, he didn't say anything more.
He handed a few peach shortbreads to Xiao Shitou and Honghong, telling them to eat them slowly. Then he took a few more and handed them to Zhao Erdan's nephew.
The two nephews were afraid of Xie Jianshe and dared not resist. They took the food and stuffed it into their mouths!
"Uncle, it's all gone!"
"Uncle, I want to eat more!"
The two nephews dared not ask anyone else, but they dared to ask their own uncle!
Zhao Erdan glanced at Xie Jianshe's expression, thought for a moment, and didn't dare to say anything. Instead, he winked at Xie Hongli.
Xie Hongli snorted but didn't say anything.
Instead, he poured a glass of water for his own child!
It was the first time that Xiao Shitou and Honghong had seen Zhou Ye, and their curious eyes were fixed on him.
Zhou Ye looked at the two children with a smile, stretched out her hands and said, "Come on, let your aunt hug you!"
The two children, their eyes sparkling with joy, ran over!
"Auntie, you look so beautiful!"
"Yes, I love my aunt so much!"
The two children innocently spoke sweet words.
Zhao Erdan's two nephews watched from the side, their eyes filled with jealousy!
She's pouting and looks very unhappy!
Before long, Wang Guihua had heated up the steamed buns. It wasn't mealtime yet, but she had already prepared a large pot of dishes!
Sauerkraut stew with glass noodles and steaming hot cornbread buns—the two large bowls had barely been placed on the table when Zhao Erdan's two nephews practically pounced on them!
He grabbed a steamed bun in each hand and stuffed it into his mouth!
Xie Hongli, seeing this, was angry and said, "Eat slowly, there's so much, it's enough!"
She was not only angry, but also felt a little ashamed!
After all, it's her own family, and she wants them to think she's doing well! But these two nephews are making her lose face!
Zhao Dabao glared at him and said, "What's wrong with us having a meal? Did you earn the money to buy it?"
"We're eating my uncle's food, not yours!"
After he finished speaking, the whole room fell silent!
Zhao Erdan's face turned bright red as he looked at Xie Youfu and Wang Guihua, feeling extremely uneasy!
"Zhao Dabao, you better eat properly! This is your aunt's family home! Don't go too far!"
Zhao Erdan's rebuke immediately made Zhao Dabao sensitive!
With a piece of steamed bun still in his mouth, he started crying! A ten-year-old boy crying like that was deafening!
"Wow... Uncle, you said you'd bring me to Auntie's house for dinner, why won't you let me eat!"
Waaah...
Do you also look down on me, saying I'm a child without a father?
Waaah... I won't eat it anymore, okay?
Give it all to Shitou and Honghong, this isn't my grandma's house!
If this were at my grandma's house, she would definitely be willing to let me eat it! Waaah…
Zhao Erdan blushed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Apologize to your aunt! Your aunt was just worried you'd choke!"
"No, no! Auntie just wants to feed Shitou, not me. She always complains that I eat too much!"
Waaah...
So many steamed buns, and they don't want to give me any! They're mistreating me! I'm going to tell Grandma! Waaah...
I'm going to tell Mom!
Zhou Ye frowned!
He watched all of this with displeasure!
At the same time, they all looked at Zhao Erdan with dissatisfaction!
Is this how you raise children? These two children have indeed lost their father, but their grandparents are still alive…
Even my mother is still alive!
Logically speaking, they shouldn't dare to support their uncle's family.
Even if I were kind-hearted and wanted to raise the child, that would be fine! But this child is clearly being unreasonable!
Zhao Erdan's expression also darkened: "Eat your food properly. Nobody's stopping you. Eat now!"
"I don't want to! My aunt won't let me eat it! I don't want to! Waaah..."
She's still crying and screaming!
It seems Xie Hongli has to back down!
Zhao Erdan sighed and almost pleaded, "Wife, this child is sensitive, please be gentle and coax him!"
Otherwise, what if the child doesn't eat and gets hungry?
You know, this child doesn't have a father, he's pitiful! He has a lot on his mind! Please be more understanding of him.
Don't argue with him! Okay?
They're both children, why are you arguing with one?
Xie Hongli glared at Zhao Erdan, her eyes red, and said, "I have to bow down again? Why should I? His father is gone!"
But what does that have to do with me?
Did I make him leave?
Every time they cry, you expect me to beg and comfort them? If I don't comfort them, will they not eat?
This is my home, why should I give in to him?
This is the meal my parents cooked.
Then he looked at Zhao Dabao and said, "Dabao, I don't care what you think, and I don't care what you say at home."
But you said something wrong today. This is my family home. The food and drinks here were not bought by your uncle!
Do you understand?
You're eating food from my mother's family!
I could have easily not brought you!
Zhao Erdan's eyes reddened: "Hongli, don't say that about the child. This child is already pitiful enough! Isn't he?"
You felt sorry for him back then!
Xie Hongli snorted and ignored her!
Zhao Erdan got anxious!
Zhao Dabao's eyes darted around, and he patted his younger brother next to him!
As a result, the two children sat on the ground and started crying!
"Waaah... Uncle doesn't care about me, I don't have a father, and Auntie dislikes me too! My brother and I are unwanted children!"
I knew none of you liked me!
You might as well let us starve to death!
"Waaah..."
"Waaah... I don't like my aunt, and I don't like my younger brother and sister! If Dad were here, I'm sure I'd be able to eat my fill!"
Waaah...
My aunt's maternal grandparents don't like us either!
Waaah...
No food to eat! Waaah…
The children were crying pitifully, Zhao Erdan's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with blame and resentment as he looked at Xie Hongli!
Little Stone and Red Red didn't dare to eat either, and just looked at their two older brothers timidly!
Xie Youfu was furious and pointed at Zhao Erdan, saying, "Erdan, are you here to cause us trouble today?"
Eat if you can, go home if you can't!
Where can I go back? I need my father-in-law's help today!
Wang Guihua looked at Zhao Erdan and said, "Erdan, when you wanted to bring your brother's two children over, we said that we could bring them over, but we absolutely could not let Hongli and the two children suffer!"
You've only been here a short time.
It's not just about having to give way when it comes to snacks; even Aunt Hongli has to bow down to her two nephews?
Do you think that's right?
Zhao Erdan hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He sighed and said, "These two children don't have a father!"
"Oh……"
Xie Jianshe let out a cold laugh...
"Did my brother-in-law bring his nephew here today simply to visit our parents, or is there something else going on?"
If there's nothing else, let's take my nephew back today!
My parents miss my sister and want her to stay here a few more days! Is that okay?
Zhao Erdan glanced at Xie Hongli and quickly refused, "No, no! How can Hongli stay here?"
"Why not? This is her maternal home, the home of Xiao Shitou and Honghong's maternal grandmother. We have no objections."
Do you have a problem with that?
Zhao Erdan gave an awkward laugh: "Of course I have no objection!"
"Now let's talk about the things that have wronged my two nephews. Brother-in-law, when you wanted to leave your nephews at home, we specifically mentioned this."
What did you say?
You said your two nephews are both grown up and don't need much care! It's just that the children don't have a father, and it's pitiful to see them like this!
Your sister-in-law is taking care of two children by herself, it's too hard for her, she can't manage it all!
Your parents are getting old, so you've brought them home to take care of them! Is that right?
"Yes, that's right! It's just that the kids are older now and don't need much care anymore, it's just a matter of taking care of them a little more! Isn't that right?"
Zhao Erdan still wanted to defend himself!
Xie Jianshe smiled and said, "Just like I said before, my parents miss my second sister and want her and the child to stay for a few days!"
You guys go back first!
Zhao Erdan was truly anxious: "No way, how can I take care of them? These two kids have bad tempers and love to make noise. They only like Hongli's cooking!"
I can't cook either!
They have to do homework every day, but I don't know how to do it either!
Besides, I'm terrible at doing laundry and cleaning!
"hehe……"
Xie Jianshe stood up and pointed to the door: "Didn't you say it was just a matter of a bowl of rice? You care about your nephew, why are you making my sister do so much?"
You said it yourself, your sister-in-law can't take care of two children by herself, so my second sister, who is younger than your sister-in-law, can take care of four children?
"Since you can't do anything at home, why are you taking on this kind of work?"
"What did my sister owe you? Is she supposed to serve your family?"
Xie Jianshe was genuinely angry. His second sister was such a love-struck fool! She truly loved Zhao Erdan, and despite her family's disapproval, she insisted on marrying him!
Again, because of her two nephews, she was still willing!
Since you're willing, then you should take responsibility for it yourself.
But now, she can't bear it anymore!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to bring her nephew back to her parents' home. My second sister is similar to my eldest sister, but also different! She is a very stubborn woman!
I'd rather suffer at home than not endure it!
Just endure it and bear it, unless you can't bear it anymore!
Zhao Erdan's face turned red. He had thought of all this too, but his wife had never said anything, so he assumed she was doing it willingly!
Sometimes, he felt sorry for his wife. His sister-in-law would wear new clothes and bring food and drinks every time she went back to her husband's family home, and the children would be very happy!
They surrounded her and called her "Mommy!"
But after my sister-in-law left, all of this still belonged to my daughter-in-law!
He had been watching without saying anything, but now that Xie Jianshe had pointed it out, he felt guilty and embarrassed that his pride had been punctured!
He swallowed hard and looked at Xie Hongli: "Wife, come back with me?"
Xie Hongli looked at her two nephews, hardened her heart and said, "I'm really tired lately, I need to stay at my parents' house for a few days!"
Let's talk about it when I'm in a better mood!
Zhao Dabao tugged at Zhao Erdan, saying, "Uncle, Uncle, let's go back first! Dabao hasn't eaten enough yet!"
My aunt is so mean! She only kisses her own children and never kisses me!
Zhao Erbao chimed in, "Uncle, let's go! Let's go back home, all the good food at home is mine!"
Let's go eat at the state-run restaurant! How about it?
Zhao Erdan looked at Xiao Shitou again: "Shitou, why don't you go back with your dad?"
"No, I want to stay with my mom!"
"Honghong?"
"No, I love Mommy! I love Grandma..."
The two children nestled in their mother's arms, not wanting to lift their heads!
Zhao Erdan remembered what had happened today, but he didn't dare to mention it!
Having not eaten a single bite, he looked at the steamed buns on the table, swallowed hard, and could only stand up and say, "Then...then you can stay for two days, and I'll come to pick you and the child up in a couple of days!"
Xie Hongli refused, so Zhao Erdan had no choice but to leave!
Wang Guihua watched the person she disliked leave, then looked at Xie Hongli with heartache: "Look at the mess you've made."
"You're so disobedient, you deserve it!"
Xie Hongli's tears fell down in a steady stream!
Zhou knew that the other person had something to say, so he turned around and went back into the house first!
Xie Jianshe glanced at it and followed him into the house!
Xie Hongli could no longer hold back her tears!
She wiped away her tears and told the children to eat first: "Shitou, Honghong, eat your food. Grandma made this especially for you!"
The two children obediently went to eat!
"You child, I disagreed in the first place, but you insisted on agreeing! What consequences did I not tell you?"
You just have to raise it!
What have we raised now? Two ungrateful wretches!
"But what can we do now? I felt sorry for them back then too!"
Xie Hongli said with tears in her eyes.
"Pitiful? Isn't your son pitiful? Isn't your daughter pitiful? Aren't you pitiful? Their mother is here."
Their grandparents are still alive!
Is it your turn?
"They just treat you like a free babysitter, you know? You've put in so much effort, time, and what have you done to yourself?"
Look at your sister-in-law, and look at yourself!
"She looks like a girl in her early twenties, but what about you? Look at you, you look like you're forty. You don't even comb your hair, and you don't even have a decent set of clothes!"
Wang Guihua complained while feeling sorry for him!
Finally, speechless, he said, "You'd better go and talk to Xiao Ye more, so you can clear your head a bit!"
"Xiaoye?"
"So what if he's younger? Let me tell you, he's younger than you but much smarter! You should learn from him!"
Look, they just left as soon as they saw us talking!
This is a chance for my mother and me to speak!
Can you do it?
"If there's anything in our family that we can't let Xiaoye hear, it's because they're doing it on purpose, just to make you feel comfortable."
I was afraid of putting you in a difficult position! I was afraid of embarrassing you!
"You brat, if you had even a fraction of Xiao Ye's intelligence, you wouldn't have been bullied like this!"
Xie Hongli pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to Xiao Ye in a bit!"
"But there's one thing: Xiaoye is your younger brother's wife, younger than you. She can talk to you if she wants, but if she doesn't, don't be ungrateful!"
Moreover, no matter what you say, you have to walk your own path from now on!
Don't rely on others, and don't blame anyone!
Do you understand?
Xie Hongli's eyes reddened: "I know, Mom!"
Zhou was combing her hair in the room when Xie Jianshe asked, "Is your second sister's matter bothering you?"
"No!"
Xie Jianshe paused and said, "Every family has its own troubles! Second Sister is too timid and has too much kindness!"
If we had forcefully stopped her before, she would have only blamed us!
"So, we can only let her suffer. Once she's been wronged, she'll naturally give up. To be honest, Zhao Erdan isn't a bad person. He's just easily influenced, was neglected at home growing up, and is very filial!"
They thought that this would make their parents think more highly of them!
In fact, it only makes my life harder!
"So what do you plan to do?"
Zhou was also curious about this. Did he want his second sister to get a divorce?
In that case, the Xie family's reputation in the village might suffer, which would be detrimental to Xie Meili's future marriage!
After all, a family that threatens divorce at the slightest disagreement is not a good family!
In this day and age, people are still very strict in judging others!
Xie Jianshe thought for a moment and said, "That's not necessarily true! Zhao Erdan has his flaws, but he's not completely incorrigible!"
He's also quite nice to my second sister!
Over the years, although I haven't earned much, I've given it all to my second sister every month!
My second sister didn't have a single decent piece of clothing, and so did he, even worse than hers!
If he could withdraw that inexplicable sympathy, life would still be alright!
Zhou nodded!
It's their marriage, they can decide for themselves!
Little Stone and Red Red ate a huge steamed bun and so many vegetables before finally letting out a satisfied burp!
Little Stone said happily, "Mom, I haven't eaten such a full meal in so long! Can we stay at Grandma's house forever?"
I want to eat my fill!
"Yes, Mom, I like Xiangxiang's aunt too!"
The innocent words of children are always the most heartbreaking!
Xie Hongli felt heartbroken when she thought about the days she and her child spent at home! Every morning, she had to get up and start cooking for the whole family.
Once everything was ready, the four children got up to eat. The two nephews were domineering and unreasonable, and always bullied their two children.
They either weren't getting enough to eat, or they were being scolded until they cried!
Although Zhao Erdan also talked to the two children, he gave in as soon as they cried!
The thought of that child having no father and his own brother dying filled him with unbearable sorrow!
Give them whatever they want.
With such a meager monthly salary, it's barely enough to cover food expenses!
When the seasons change, we need to buy new clothes. We give our two nephews their old clothes to our own children and buy new ones for the other two.
Ready-made clothes are expensive, so I can only buy cheap fabrics and make them at home!
Xie Hongli didn't know how to sew when she was at her parents' home, but now she's managed to do it all by herself!
Not bad!
Where's my sister-in-law? Every time she comes back, she just buys some pastries, and her two nephews happily circle around her, saying they're not as pretty as their mother!
Don't you want to look good?
That requires money, and clothes...
The children in the family can't eat a single thing from their sister-in-law. If they dare to eat even a little bit, their nephew will say that it was bought by their mother, so why should they eat it?
Oh……
Little Stone argued with them, saying that they had also eaten the food his mother cooked, but they just said that it was his uncle's money!
The two children were so angry they kept crying!
How could she not feel heartbroken?
But what can be done?
"Okay, let's stay at Grandma's house for a few days!"
After Xie Hongli finished speaking, she became worried again!
"Um... Mom, if I stay a few more days, will Xiaohui be unhappy? They just got married, and my eldest sister stayed for a while, and now it's me!"
Xiao Ye, she…
Wang Guihua rolled her eyes: "Let me tell you, whether you're happy or not when you come back has nothing to do with other people!"
She's not an ordinary woman! She wouldn't be as petty as you guys!
But this is someone else's home, just remember that!
Don't give me that nonsense, it's just my sister-in-law causing trouble when she gets home!
Did you know?
If you dare to express any dissatisfaction with Xiaoye or say anything unpleasant, then you'd better get out of here!
Xie Hongli wouldn't dare!
When Huang Ying heard from the villagers that Xie's second daughter had returned with a group of people, she was curious and worried that Zhou would be bullied!
Isn't it said that the youngest daughter from the bride's family is the most annoying?
She took a shortcut to go see the village chief!
Then, they saw a woman carrying a basket on her back, from which came the sound of a child crying! Behind her followed a man who was cursing and swearing!
"You wretched woman, you think you can go back to your parents' home and everything will be fine? You're still in your postpartum period, are you trying to get people to criticize our family by doing this?"
What's the point of you coming back?
My legs aren't working well, are you really going to run?
Slow down!
Your brothers are a bunch of cowards! They dare stand up for you? Who do you think you are?!
Give me the child!
"No, why should my child be given to someone else?"
"Because she's just a little girl! A money-loser!"
The man was aggressive and wanted to hit someone!
"stop!"
Huang Ying wasn't planning to get involved, but seeing the man about to hit someone, she got really angry!
He stepped forward to help the woman up, pointed a stick at the man, and said, "What are you yelling for? Do you want people to know you're a man if you don't yell?"
You look like a man, but what you do is absolutely nothing a man should do? Huh?
Is this your wife?
Look at your own behavior! You even want to sell your child? Do you know that's illegal?
ah?
Are you a scumbag?
Get out of here right now, or I'll call the police and have you arrested!
Do you know how many years human traffickers are sentenced to? Death penalty! I'll kill you!
"That...that's my daughter!"
The man is still making excuses!
"Yes, it's yours, so your crime is compounded! I'll skin you alive!"
The man's face turned bright red from being scolded!
He pointed at the woman and shouted, "You're not allowed to go back to your parents' home! Come home with me!"
"Try it! If you dare take a step forward, I'll beat you to death!" Huang Ying blocked the woman's path, grabbed a stick, and stepped forward to strike!
"Ahhh..." The man ran away in a panic!
He ran away... and that's how he ran away...
Huang Ying snorted and threw down the stick, looking at the woman: "Are you alright?"
The woman said weakly, her voice trembling, "I'm fine!"
"Who do you belong to? I've never seen you before!"
I've been here for years and I've never seen her before. Could she be a married daughter?
"I am from the Song family. Please take me to the Song family!"
Huang Ying suddenly realized: "The Song family? The Song Cheng family?"
"Yes, I'm very tired and feeling unwell. Could you please take me there? I'm still in my postpartum confinement period!"
Huang Ying looked at the weak woman, sighed, and thought, "Fine, I'll see this through to the end!"
"Come on! I'll help you!"
He struggled to help the woman to the Song family's doorstep, utterly exhausted!
"Song Chengxue...Auntie...Come out quickly!"
"Someone come here!"
Huang Ying shouted, startling the Song family.
"That's... Huang Ying's voice!"
Song Chengxue was the first to run out, and was startled when he saw the woman outside the door.
"Big sister!"
"What? Your eldest sister?"
Zhao Dalan ran out of the house and saw her weak daughter. She panicked and quickly went to support her.
"Huang Ying, what happened? How did you run into this?"
Huang Ying explained, "I was originally going to find Xiao Ye, but I ran into a man and... my older sister on the way!"
Then I helped the older sister out!
"That beast!"
