Chapter 85 Why do I work so hard?

Zhao Xiumei was having trouble swallowing the bun in her mouth.

Lowering her head, she said, "Isn't it because our family is poor? I admit that I favor boys over girls. In my heart, your brother and your younger brother are more important. I admit that I am nicer to your sister, but in my heart you are all my children, and I feel bad for you.

It's just that you have been stubborn since you were a child, and you are very stubborn. Who doesn't like someone who is sweet-talking and well-behaved?

Although you and your sister are twins, you two look different. She was obviously prettier than you when she was a child, so I thought about raising her up so that she could marry into a good family and help us, but unfortunately it backfired. , I didn’t expect that it would be you who would eventually marry into a wealthy family. "

At the end, Zhao Xiumei secretly glanced at Jiang Xianli, "Now... now you are not uglier than your sister, no... you are prettier than her."

Jiang Xianli snorted coldly, too lazy to respond to her.

"Hurry up and eat your meal. We have to go for a checkup later."

"Oh... OK."

Zhao Xiumei ate one bun at a time. She wanted to finish them quickly, for fear that Jiang Xianli would get angry and throw all the buns away.

After dinner, Jiang Xianli pushed Zhao Xiumei in a wheelchair to go for a check-up.

When I passed by the hospital lobby, I unexpectedly ran into Jiang Xianhui and her mother-in-law Tian Cuiping.

Jiang Xianhui held Tian Cuiping with one hand and held the thermos bottle with the other.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiumei's fingers tightened and her eyes instantly turned red.

Just now her second daughter was complaining that she favored the younger daughter, but in the end, when she injured her leg, it was the second daughter who took care of her at her side, both financially and physically, while the younger daughter went to take care of someone else's mother.

It really proves the old saying that the more you favor someone, the less filial piety he or she will get.

Jiang Xianli originally wanted to push her mother over there directly, but Tian Cuiping stopped them.

"Hey, isn't this my city-dweller relative? What happened to his leg? Is this retribution for his many bad deeds?"

Zhao Xiumei looked at her fiercely, "If you keep talking nonsense, I can tear your mouth off even if I have a limp."

“Ouch… cough cough… cough…”

Tian Cuiping leaned weakly against Jiang Xianhui, "Daughter-in-law, I feel dizzy. This is so unfair. I came from the countryside happily to live with my in-laws, but not only does she look down on me, but the whole family bullies me... and she even lets her son-in-law lock me up..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Xianli scolded, "You just got out of the detention center, right? You know it's illegal to talk nonsense and slander people? If you make trouble again, I'll report you to the police station."

She has lost a lot of weight, and she must have suffered a lot in the detention center.

Sure enough, Tian Cuiping became timid.

"I, I didn't slander you... Humph, I just saw that my in-law's leg was injured and I wanted to care about her. I just speak my mind.

I also want to thank my parents-in-law for raising me such a good daughter. I was not feeling well, and it was all thanks to my daughter-in-law who took me to the doctor and got me medicine, and also made stewed meat for me to nourish my body."

Zhao Xiumei knew that she was deliberately disgusting her, and sneered: "Don't call me in-law, your daughter-in-law and I have severed the mother-daughter relationship. If you have the time, don't nag here, go home and educate your daughter, so that you don't end up like me in the future, with a lame daughter serving other people's mothers."

Tian Cuiping straightened her back, her face full of pride.

"Don't worry, I have sons. My eldest son has gone abroad and will be a very capable man in the future. If my daughter-in-law dares to be unfilial, I will divorce her. My youngest son is now a security guard in a big hotel. He is in charge of the entire hotel. He can't let anyone in if he says he won't let anyone in. If he finds a wife in the future and she dares to be unfilial, I will beat her half to death.

I am not like you, who is so stupid that you cannot think straight. You do not let your son make decisions at home, but let your daughter-in-law make decisions. Then the daughter-in-law is an outsider. She is married to have children, do laundry and cook. If any daughter-in-law dares to say one more word in front of me, I will not tolerate it!"

"Ouch, my heart hurts so much..." Zhao Xiumei could usually fight one against eight, but now she admitted defeat. She had never seen someone as weird and subversive as Tian Cuiping. "Sure enough, what my daughter-in-law said was right. You bound your feet in the wrong place before, and you bound your brain instead. Ouch, my heart..."

Tian Cuiping looked at her with contempt, "Don't say you feel sorry for me. Last time, I quarreled with your second daughter and you said you felt sorry for me. You detained me for 15 days and I was released just now. If you say you feel sorry for me, then I will...sacrifice my own family for the sake of justice and send you to jail as well."

"Go, go, Lili, push me quickly, I can't see her, ouch... I can't breathe."

Jiang Xianli pushed Zhao Xiumei away. She clenched her fists, her whole body trembling, and tears falling down her face.

Jiang Xianli had never seen her like this before.

"You, what's wrong with you? Tian Cuiping is just a country woman with no education. If you get angry with her and make yourself sick, it won't be that..."

Zhao Xiumei bit her back teeth and said, "I'm not angry at Tian Cuiping. She's not even worthy of my even a second glance. I'm angry at Jiang Xianhui. You said she's always been arrogant, so why did she suddenly fall for Wu Jianting? It's fine if she fell for Wu Jianting, but why did she treat herself like that?"

You have heard what Tian Cuiping said just now, that a daughter-in-law is an outsider, and her job is to give birth to children and do housework. According to Jiang Xianhui's personality, she should have knocked Tian Cuiping's skull off, but she is still supporting her like a maid."

The more she spoke, the harder she cried, tears and snot streaming down her face. "I'm already lame, and she didn't even ask me a single question... I've worked so hard these years, why did I..."

Jiang Xianli took out a tissue and handed it to her, "You have cut off all ties with her, so don't even think about her caring about you."

"I didn't think about it. I just can't accept it. I can't accept it! Why did the daughter I raised so carefully become like this, serving that peasant family humbly all day long. I feel bad... wuwuwu... I feel bad in my heart... Let her die, it's better for her to die than to disgust me now..."

Jiang Xianli didn't say anything. Just wait, Jiang Xianhui won't always be so humble.

One day she will find out that Wu Jianting is not as good as she imagined. After she is disappointed and hopeless with him, she will go crazy towards the Wu family.

Jiang Xianli took Zhao Xiumei to the hospital for examination and then pushed her back to the ward.

She cried for a long time before falling asleep.

In the evening, Xie Jingcheng came.

He picked up two packaging bags from the gold shop and gave one to Jiang Xianli and the other to Zhao Xiumei.

"What is this?"

When Zhao Xiumei opened it, she found it was actually a gold necklace.

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful, Jingcheng, is this... for me?"

"Well, I passed by a jewelry store today and saw some beautiful new items there, so I bought one each for you and Lili."

Zhao Xiumei looked at Jiang Xianli and still felt guilty, so she didn't dare to take it. "But it's too expensive. Mom is old, it's a waste for her to wear it. Give it all to Lili."

Xie Jingcheng smiled and said, "No, it's because you are older that you should wear it. When you are older, wearing some gold and silver jewelry will make you look noble."

Only if you please your mother-in-law will she say good things about you in front of her.

His mother-in-law chose to marry him because she saw him as a rich man, so he must be bought with this gold.

“Then, then I…I’ll accept it…”

Zhao Xiumei hid the gold necklace behind her while looking at Jiang Xianli. Seeing that she didn't say anything, she smiled and said, "Lili, open your box too and see what Jingcheng bought for you."
