Last night, Liang Xiaohe went back to her parents' home with one side of her face flushed red and cried her heart out.
Liang Xiaohe wanted Liang Tuyou to stand up for her and cause a scene at the Zhao family's house, but Liang Tuyou scolded her: "Is your brain made of mush? What are you making a scene for? Are you not going to live with Zhao Tianyu anymore?"
"Dad, I got slapped by Zhao Zhenzhu, are we just going to let it go like this?" Liang Xiaohe touched her burning cheek and questioned.
"Look at you, so spineless. You got hit by Zhao Zhenzhu, so why don't you hit back? Is such a small thing worth us, your family, having to stand up for you?" Liang Tuyou said with disdain.
Liang Tuyou had already planned it out. If Liang Xiaohe couldn't get Liang Xiaobao a job this time, he would make sure Liang Xiaohe transferred the job to Liang Xiaobao next month.
When Liang Xiaohe loses her job, Zhao Tianyu can support her.
He's making a scene now. He's annoyed Zhao Qingshan. He's trying to force Zhao Tianyu and Liang Xiaohe to divorce. Wouldn't he be at a huge loss then?
“Xiao Bao’s father, Xiao He has suffered such a great injustice, and our family hasn’t said a word. Won’t the Zhao family become even more arrogant in the future?” Jiang Yue’e couldn’t help but speak up for her daughter.
"You know nothing!" Liang Tuyou glared at Jiang Yue'e and scolded, "If Xiaohe had been beaten by Zhao Tianyu today, I, as her father, would have immediately gone to Zhao Tianyu's house to make trouble for him. Xiaohe is having a conflict with her sister-in-law, and as a grown man and an elder, I can't very well go to Zhao Zhenzhu's house to beat her up, can I?"
Seeing that Jiang Yue'e was still somewhat unconvinced, Liang Tuyou added a strong dose of sarcasm: "Our Xiaobao is already at the age to find a wife. If we have done anything wrong in the past few years, it will affect Xiaobao."
"Dad, I was just saying, don't be angry," Jiang Yue'e quickly said with a smile.
In Jiang Yue'e's heart, even if all the Liang sisters were combined, they wouldn't be as important as her son Liang Xiaobao alone.
Jiang Yue'e would definitely not do anything that would affect Liang Xiaobao.
"Think before you speak next time. Your head is on your shoulders for a reason, don't just treat it as decoration," Liang Tuyou sneered.
"Yes, yes, yes, I've got it. It's good that you thought of that." Jiang Yue'e said meekly.
Liang Xiaohe bit her lower lip in anger.
Liang Tuyou's words are nice, but in reality, it's just that his daughter Liang Xiaohe doesn't hold much weight in his heart.
If Liang Xiaobao were the one who got beaten up today, even if Liang Xiaohe and Jiang Yue'e tried to stop him, they wouldn't be able to stop Liang Tuyou's determination to settle scores with the Zhao family.
“Xiaohe! Don’t blame your parents for not standing up for you. We’re just ordinary people. Before your father-in-law retired, he was a leader at the supply and marketing cooperative. He has a lot of connections! Zhao Zhenzhu is the apple of your in-laws’ eye. It’s better for you to suffer a little loss than for your father to go to the Zhao family and be scolded by Zhao Qingshan. You should also try to avoid causing trouble at home and be more accommodating to your husband. The Zhao family is well-off. Even if Zhao Zhenzhu and her children stay at her parents’ house for a while, it shouldn’t cost them much.” Seeing Liang Xiaohe’s unhappy expression, Jiang Yue’e quickly offered a few words of comfort.
Liang Xiaohe's face was expressionless.
Since her mother had already said everything, what else could she say?
Previously, it was Jiang Yue'e who said Zhao Zhenzhu often took advantage of her family and told Liang Xiaohe not to be foolish and remain silent. Now, it is still Jiang Yue'e who is telling Liang Xiaohe to be more magnanimous and stop targeting Zhao Zhenzhu.
Previously, if Jiang Yue'e hadn't frequently told Liang Xiaohe that Zhao Qingshan and his wife only had one son, Zhao Tianyu, and that everything in the Zhao family would belong to Zhao Tianyu and Liang Xiaohe in the future, Liang Xiaohe wouldn't have taken it for granted that Zhao Zhenzhu was taking advantage of her family as if she were taking advantage of her.
The thought of not knowing where to give Hu Yong the money he was supposed to pay tomorrow filled Liang Xiaohe with anxiety.
"Dad, could you lend me six hundred yuan? I need to buy a job for Xiaobao tomorrow," Liang Xiaohe asked.
“Where would I get money?” Liang Tuyou’s expression changed.
"Dad, I'm having a cold war with Zhao Tianyu these past few days and can't get money from him right now. Could you lend me six hundred yuan for a few days? I'll definitely pay you back in a few days," Liang Xiaohe pleaded.
Hu Yong is a man whose temperament is unpredictable.
Liang Xiaohe didn't want Hu Yong to think she was deliberately playing him, so she had to pay the money tomorrow.
"I really don't have any money," Liang Tuyou insisted.
Let alone six hundred, Liang Tuyou wouldn't even pay sixty yuan.
Anyway, for Liang Tuyou, since Liang Xiaohe can't buy another job, he has to keep Liang Xiaohe's job, so he won't lose out either way.
"Dad, how could you not have money? You kept all the dowries for my sisters' weddings! My eldest sister got eighty, my second sister ninety, my third sister one hundred, my fourth sister one hundred plus a watch, and I got one hundred plus a bicycle and a watch. Not counting other things, that adds up to four hundred and seventy. Also, since I started working as a temporary worker at the supply and marketing cooperative, I've been paying back money every month, and I haven't stopped after I got married. Over the years, I've given almost nine hundred to the family." In her anger, Liang Xiaohe listed out the Liang family's large sums of income over the years, one by one.
"Hmph! You make it sound so easy. You think you can just save money by handing it over to me? Haven't your mother, your brother, and I eaten and drunk all these years? And you, didn't you eat and drink at your parents' house before you got married? Don't even mention a thousand yuan, I can't even come up with a hundred yuan." Liang Tuyou's face darkened.
Liang Tuyou actually had exactly six hundred yuan in his hand, but he kept this money for his son's wedding and for emergencies.
He gave it to Liang Xiaohe to buy a job, but what if Liang Xiaohe later denies it and refuses to pay him back? Wouldn't he be at a huge loss?
"Dad, if we don't pay tomorrow, Hu Yong won't take responsibility. Dad, you can't expect me to fall into Hu Yong's trap again, can you? Tianyu has been very unhappy with me lately. If I have something with Hu Yong... even just once, if Tianyu finds out, he'll divorce me." Liang Xiaohe pleaded desperately.
Zhao Tianyu's attitude towards Liang Xiaohe has changed drastically recently.
Liang Xiaohe knew that Zhao Tianyu was unhappy with her insistence on six hundred yuan.
Liang Xiaohe dared not pressure Zhao Tianyu any further. After all, Liang Xiaohe still wanted to spend her life with Zhao Tianyu.
What if we push Zhao Tianyu into a fit of temper and he drags her to the hospital for a checkup?
If Zhao Tianyu finds out that Liang Xiaohe's premarital indiscretions led to her infertility, even if Zhao Tianyu doesn't mention divorce, Zhao Qingshan and his wife will still kick Liang Xiaohe out of the house.
"That's your problem. If you don't want to buy a job for Xiaobao, you can transfer your job to him," Liang Tuyou said calmly.
"No, Dad, if I give my job to Xiaobao, Zhao Tianyu will definitely divorce me. If we really do divorce, can you let me move back home?" Liang Xiaohe hurriedly objected.
"You wish! A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. Everything in this house will belong to Xiaobao from now on. If you get a divorce, hurry up and find a man to marry. I don't have Zhao Qingshan's ability to let my married daughter stay at home and freeload," Liang Tianyun rolled her eyes and said.
