Chapter 30 Let’s see if you have been bullied

Xie Jingcheng sat on the sofa, crossed his legs and lit a cigarette.

"Why divorce? Life is short, so it doesn't matter who I marry. Marrying you will at least bring peace to our family. After spending some time together, I'm very satisfied with your performance. This is my pocket money for you."

Jiang Xianli smiled sweetly and took the passbook without any hesitation.

"Thank you for the gift, Fourth Young Master. I guess you haven't had dinner yet. Can I go and cook a bowl of noodles for you myself?"

Xie Jingcheng exhaled a puff of smoke and couldn't help but laugh, "Then there's the wife of the fourth young master Lao."

The chef had already gone off work, and Jiang Xianli asked Aunt Wang to go and rest as well.

She went to the kitchen, got a tomato, and cut a few slices of beef.

In a short while, a bowl of fragrant braised beef noodles was cooked.

Xie Jingcheng took a sip and praised, "Jiang Xianli, your cooking skills are really good. They are no worse than those chefs in big hotels."

"If you like, I'll do it for you every day."

"No, I didn't marry you to be my mother and do my laundry. Just go to school, spend money, be happy every day, and don't bother me. Cooking is something you can do occasionally to cultivate your sentiments."

Jiang Xianli's nose felt sore, and she suddenly remembered what Wu Jianting often said in his previous life: If you don't do housework, don't give birth to children, and don't serve your husband and parents-in-law, why should I marry you?

Haha...it turns out that the differences between men can be so huge.

When a woman gets married, it is really like being reborn a second time.

…

On Friday, Jiang Xianli had classes in the morning, so Xie Jingcheng took the initiative to pick up Jiang Xianyang from the hospital.

In order to prevent her mother from finding out something, Jiang Xianyang was allowed to stay at Xie's manor for two days before returning.

Who would have thought that in the evening, the security guard came to report: "Madam Fourth Young Master, there is a woman at the gate who claims to be your mother."

Jiang Xianli looked at the time. It was already five o'clock. Usually at this time, Jiang Xianyang would have finished school.

So, she asked him to go with her to the door to take a look.

Jiang Xianyang was a little panicked, "Second sister, don't you think that Mom knew that I was beaten and came here specially?"

"It's okay. You're already healed now anyway. It won't matter if she knows."

When they arrived at the door, they saw Zhao Xiumei standing outside with a net bag full of apples.

He was wearing a plaid woolen coat, black leather shoes, and his hair was oiled. It was obvious that he was dressed up carefully.

Jiang Xianli took the things from her hand, "Mom, why are you here?"

Zhao Xiumei lowered her voice and exclaimed, "Oh, Lili, you are so lucky to marry into a wealthy family like the Xie family. Look at their house, it's so grand. There are even security guards at the door. If you didn't come out to pick me up, they wouldn't let me in. Until now, I still feel like I'm dreaming. How come my daughter has become the wife of a wealthy family? Hahaha..."

Jiang Xianli understood in her heart that it seemed that her mother was not here because Jiang Xianyang was beaten.

"Let's go home first."

"well."

Zhao Xiumei looked around like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, "How much money does the Xie family have? There are gardens, rockeries, and waterfalls in the yard. My god, this is like an ancient imperial palace! Lili, your mother-in-law and Jingcheng must give you a lot of pocket money, right?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xianli didn't want to talk to her about money at all.

"Now that I'm here, I have to say hello to your parents-in-law. Please take me to their residence."

"No, they have to go out of town for something and will leave at noon."

"Hehe... maybe next time."

Zhao Xiumei followed Jiang Xianli into the house, and only after they sat down did she remember Jiang Xianyang.

"Look, Yangyang has gained weight after spending a few days here. Yangyang, are you doing well at your second sister's house?"

Jiang Xianyang smiled and said, "Okay."

Aunt Wang came over with tea and a plate of snacks.

"Mrs. Jiang, please have some."

Zhao Xiumei was flattered and sat up straight, "Thank you."

As soon as Aunt Wang left, she patted her chest excitedly.

"Did you all hear it? She called me Madam... This was the first time in my life that I experienced being served by someone. It felt so good, like floating on clouds..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and she took a piece of osmanthus cake and put it into her mouth.

"It's delicious."

Jiang Xianyang felt uncomfortable seeing him like this and handed the tea to her.

"Mom, drink some, be careful not to choke."

Zhao Xiumei touched his head and said, "My son still loves me."

Jiang Xianli asked, "Are you here to take your son home?"

"No, it's your brother's girlfriend who will come to our house tomorrow to discuss the details of the wedding. I wanted you, Jingcheng, your eldest sister and brother-in-law to come back so that our whole family can sit together and have a good meal."

"Why don't you just go to a small store and make a phone call? Why go all the way here?"

"Mom, didn't I come to see how you are doing in Xie's house? To see if the Xie family is bullying you just because we are poor."

As Zhao Xiumei spoke, she stood up and walked around the room.

Jiang Xianli felt that what her mother said was half true and half false.

After all, she is her biological daughter, so she still cares about her to some extent.

But even if the Xie family really bullied her, her mother would just say a few words without any pain or itch, and finally persuade her to be patient.

Otherwise, the three sisters had suffered so much injustice at their husband’s house in their previous lives, so why didn’t any of them get divorced?

It's because she has no support from her natal family, and her mother also uses all kinds of mental and verbal pressure to prevent her from becoming a divorced woman.

Zhao Xiumei turned around and said with emotion: "Alas! You and Xiaohui are twins. You were born only ten minutes earlier than her, but your fates are so different."

You have fallen into a blessed nest, but she will have to live in a muddy nest for the rest of her life. It is getting dark, and we will stay at your house tonight. We will go home together tomorrow morning. "
