Chapter 136 The most inexplicable relationship in the world is that between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
After Zhao Yunxia learned what had happened, she burst into tears at home.
She pulled Xiao Zhongyi and said, "Go up and explain to Jiaojiao and the others that this matter has nothing to do with us. It's all your mother's own decision!"
Xiao Zhongyi's face darkened: "Forget it, the person has made it very clear, why would I go and get slapped in the face?"
"Hit me if you want. Your face is worthless!"
"What do you mean!"
Old Mrs. Xiao pushed Zhao Yunxia away, pointed at her nose and cursed: "You are so arrogant! I tell you, this is the Xiao family, everything you eat and wear belongs to my son, so keep your mouth shut!"
"Did I say something wrong?"
Zhao Yunxia didn't want to endure it anymore.
She slapped her mother-in-law's hand away and cursed, "This is all your fault!"
"Junshan is already capable, and everyone has high hopes for him. Now, as long as he wants, he can fly anytime."
"I finally sold my face to Jiaojiao and asked them to be Erwa's godparents. With this relationship, Erwa's education, medical care and living expenses will be guaranteed, right? With this relationship, no one will dare to neglect your son at work in the future. He might even get a promotion. Now it's all ruined by you!"
Old Mrs. Xiao didn’t believe it: “Zhongyi, is what Yunxia said true?”
Xiao Zhongyi sighed and nodded: "Shen Junshan is very popular now. Not to mention his unit, all the leaders of the unit want to find an opportunity to curry favor with him. Mom, why do you have nothing to do to falsely accuse his wife? That is his lifeblood, don't you know?"
"Just that girl, and her life?"
Old Mrs. Xiao sneered: "They have been married for almost two years and still haven't gotten pregnant. I think she is not good enough and will get divorced sooner or later."
"Alright, when Junshan married Jiaojiao, he gave her 800 yuan as a betrothal gift. You guys don't value her at all! Xiao Zhongyi, come with me and apologize now!"
"Hey, Yunxia, what are you doing?"
Zhao Yunxia grabbed Xiao Zhongyi's hand and dragged him out.
He thought of Shen Junshan's eyes and was very reluctant to go up.
After all, he is older than Shen Junshan, so why does he have to be so shameless and ask Shen Junshan for help?
Zhao Yunxia was shaking with anger: "Xiao Zhongyi, you are a coward, how can you be a hopeless case!"
"You little bitch, who are you calling a wimp?"
Old Mrs. Xiao grabbed Zhao Yunxia's hand and slapped her in the face.
Zhao Yunxia was stunned and stared at the two of them blankly.
Old Lady Xiao put her hands on her hips and shouted, "What are you looking at! Don't think you are great just because you gave birth to a son. You gave birth to a money-losing child before, and my son also raised him! You dare to say that he is a coward? You are rebelling!"
"Xiao Zhongyi..."
Zhao Yunxia looked at him with tears on her face.
Xiao Zhongyi lowered his head guiltily.
On the left is his mother, and on the right is his wife, both of whom are his relatives.
Xiao Zhongyi didn't want to get involved and just wanted to be a peacemaker.
Zhao Yunxia sneered: "Well, Xiao Zhongyi, you are really your mother's good son, very good!" She slammed the door and rushed out. Old Mrs. Xiao shouted behind her: "What are you doing, little bitch? My eldest grandson hasn't even started breastfeeding yet, where are you running to!"
"Look at her. She doesn't care about her own health while her child is in confinement. What if she gets sick and infects my eldest grandson?"
Xiao Zhongyi was very annoyed: "Mom, if you want your son to stay in the factory, don't say anything and don't provoke Junshan's family, unless you want to see me jump off the balcony!"
"you…"
Old Mrs. Xiao wanted to curse, but when she saw her son's expression, she swallowed her words.
But she was so angry that she secretly thought she would talk about it later.
After finishing her meal, Han Jiaojiao saw Chen Amin and Dongzi off and went around to the back of the building to throw away the garbage.
She vaguely heard someone crying and leaned over to take a look: "Sister Yunxia?"
When Zhao Yunxia saw that it was Han Jiaojiao, she immediately wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao, are you coming down for a walk?"
"I'm taking out the trash. Are you... okay?"
Han Jiaojiao knew that Zhao Yunxia was not a good person, otherwise she would not have cried secretly behind the building.
But she can't say anything to comfort people, she can only say some polite words.
Zhao Yunxia smiled bitterly: "What's good about that? I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. I'm sorry for you today."
"It's okay, it's just a small question. I'm just curious, why did your mother-in-law do this?"
"Why? For the meat and bone soup on your balcony."
"ah?"
Zhao Yunxia: "I have been discharged from the hospital for half a month and I still have no milk to feed my child. Lao Xiao only eats four pounds of meat a month, and it is gone in a few meals. She is jealous because she sees your family eating meat every day."
"Just for this?"
Han Jiaojiao shook her head helplessly.
She remembered what Shen Junshan said, that not all people are kind.
It’s damn true!
Zhao Yunxia sighed: "To be honest, Junshan is capable of making sure our family has meat and fish for every meal."
Han Jiaojiao: It’s not Junshan’s ability, it’s my ability.
Zhao Yunxia: "To be honest, I'm also quite envious. Every day when I smell the delicious food in your house, my mouth waters. But I'm not jealous, I'm really not jealous!"
"I was going to stew your portion today, but I didn't make it."
Zhao Yunxia's tears suddenly welled up and she wiped them by grabbing her collar.
Han Jiaojiao quickly took out a handkerchief and gave it to her. Against the light, she saw the slap mark on her face.
Han Jiaojiao frowned: "Did Lao Xiao beat him?"
"no."
Zhao Yunxia took the handkerchief and wiped her tears: "It was his mother who beat him. Lao Xiao didn't do anything. He just stood aside and watched without doing anything or saying anything."
Han Jiaojiao didn't know how to comfort her anymore.
When conflicts arise between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the greatest harm often comes from the man.
If Xiao Zhongyi had taken action, Zhao Yunxia might have been able to fight back happily, but because he did nothing, Zhao Yunxia felt even more cowardly.
Han Jiaojiao sat down next to her: "So what are you going to do? Talk to Lao Xiao?"
"Jiaojiao, do you know that before we got married, Lao Xiao and I agreed on a 100-yuan betrothal gift and 10 tables of banquets. One month before the wedding, his mother said 50 yuan, five tables of banquets, and the rest of the money should be saved for us to have children. Lao Xiao did it without even discussing it with me."
Zhao Yunxia suddenly burst into tears again, her tears flowing even more heavily than before.
"If the conversation goes bad, he just listens to his mother. He doesn't take anything I say to heart. His mother favors her youngest son. I... no matter what I do, it's wrong. Jiaojiao, do you understand?"
Han Jiaojiao remained silent.
She understood, after all, she had watched a lot of sad dramas with the teachers in the orphanage before.
She also has married friends around her, and some of them are not doing well.
But even though she understood it, she couldn't empathize with him.
Because Shen Junshan never let her suffer any loss.
Zhao Yunxia smiled bitterly: "Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. Junshan treats you so well, there will definitely not be these problems. Go back, I want to go back too. I am worried about letting them take care of my son."
Han Jiaojiao: "Sister Yunxia, why don't you call your mother to help, and go out and find a job. Only with income can you have confidence."
"What confidence do you have? Junshan didn't despise you just because you didn't have a job. This is fate."
Han Jiaojiao watched her walk away unsteadily and sighed heavily.
She said it wasn't right, but she was also right.
Work and income are the confidence, and being a man is also the confidence.
One is given to yourself, with a bit of pride and loneliness.
One is given by a lover, which is only sweet and warm.
Han Jiaojiao murmured: "Confidence..."
