When Li Xue returned home, her husband Xu Xiangdong and mother-in-law Zhang Xiuying were sitting on the sofa, watching TV intermittently. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Seeing Li Xue, Zhang Xiuying snorted coldly: "Oh, look, our daughter-in-law is willing to come back now?"
Xu Xiangdong just glanced at Li Xue indifferently and said nothing.
Li Xue had become accustomed to Zhang Xiuying's troubles and Xu Xiangdong's inaction. She forced a smile and called out, "Mom," then took off her shoes and went into the house.
After get off work today, Li Jianren came to the factory to find her. After telling her about Li Yang, he urged her to go to Lie Village. Yang Chunhua urged her so much that she could only call Xu Xiangdong and say that she had something to do at her parents' home in the evening and would be home late.
Xu Xiangdong didn't know what he was doing at the time and only replied vaguely, "I know."
Li Xue thought that Xu Xiangdong might have told Zhang Xiuying, or might not have, but it didn’t matter, because as long as Zhang Xiuying was unhappy, she would give her all kinds of cold looks.
Seeing that Li Xue was as quiet as usual, Zhang Xiuying couldn't help but stand up and follow her: "Don't you see what time it is? Why are you back so late?
If you miss your parents' home, just tell us and let Xiangdong buy some things and go back with you.
You're pregnant, and it's late at night. If something happens, how will others view us?"
Li Xue's father, Li Jianyue, was a technician in the factory, and her mother was a worker in a textile factory. Li Xue inherited her mother's place and also worked in a textile factory after graduating from high school. Such a family might seem good on its own, but compared to theirs, it was far behind.
Just because Xu Xiangdong's father is the director of a city unit, and Xu Xiangdong himself is a technical secondary school student who followed his father into the unit, Li Xue is not worthy of him.
It happened that Li Xue's third uncle Li Jianren was being selected as the deputy director of the factory at that time. He asked the Xu family for help, which led to the marriage proposal between the Li family and their family.
At that time, Xu Xiangdong was attracted by Li Xue's good looks and gentle personality, so she agreed to the marriage.
I didn’t expect that Li Xue was a taciturn person. Not only did she not get pregnant until two years after marriage.
In short, in her heart, Xu Xiangdong is the best, and no woman can easily be worthy of him.
Li Xue bit her lip in response to Zhang Xiuying's attack, but ultimately did not answer.
Zhang Xiuying was just venting her anger, and everything would be fine after she calmed down. If she had retorted, not only would no one in the family stand on her side, but she would also be scolded.
The baby in her belly kicked at this moment, and she touched her belly lovingly, as if to comfort it, and said lightly: "Mom, I will pay attention in the future.
I'm a little tired today, I'm going back to my room to rest."
After saying that, he went back to his room without saying anything more to Zhang Xiuying.
Zhang Xiuying was furious. She pointed at the closed door and said to Xu Xiangdong, "Look at the wonderful wife you married. I just said a few words to her and she's already giving me the cold shoulder!"
Xu Xiangdong also felt that Li Xue was not giving him face, so he said, "Mom, don't be angry. I'll talk to her right away."
As he said that, he entered the room, and soon, the sound of two people arguing could be heard from the half-open door.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiuying went to wash up with satisfaction.
If she hadn't seen that Li Xue was pregnant, she would never have revealed the matter.
Even after getting married, she still misses her parents' home and might even be secretly saving money to take back home! Fortunately, she had the foresight to ask them to give her their salary when they got married, otherwise it would have gone into the Li family's pockets!

The news that Lai Yaozu was taken to the police station spread throughout the hunting village the next day.
The Feng Mei couple went to the police station the night before and had a quarrel with the Zhao family in front of the police, dumping out everything.
In the end, no one was willing to give in. The police failed to mediate, so they followed the regulations and asked the Li family to pay for the medical expenses. They also took Li Yaozu into the detention center, educated him for two days, and then released him.
Feng Mei initially refused to accept the decision and was considering an appeal, but the police, having witnessed her aggressiveness, stopped trying to persuade her: "If you have any objections to the outcome, you can file a complaint with a higher-level authority.
You should be content that someone has spoken up for you. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a two-day detention."
Feng Mei heard something hidden in the police's words and quickly asked who had spoken for her.
The policeman sighed but refused to say anything more.
The trick used by the person behind is called giving a slap in the face and then giving a sweet date. He said half of what he meant, which can be considered as accumulating some good karma.
When Li Yang heard Sister Qian telling her about the Li family, there was not much expression on her face. She even felt that it was too easy for Li Yaozu to be imprisoned for only two days.
The Li family's affairs came to an end for the time being, and she also started her next plan - to find a job in a jade workshop.
She had talked to Boss Wu about his behavior and asked him if he had any thoughts about gambling on stones. Boss Wu waved his hand and said, "That's too risky. If I win, it's fine. But if I lose, where can I get so much money to pay? I'd better just buy the rough stones."
Through Boss Wu, Li Yang also found out that only jade workshops with a certain scale and capital would gamble on jade easily.
It’s just that once a workshop is of a certain size, it’s difficult to get in.
In the past two days, Li Yang bought a book about jade at a flea market. He read it while walking on the street and even stayed up late to read it, just to catch up on his knowledge.
It happened to be the weekend the next day, so Li Yang asked his colleagues for directions, plucked up the courage to put a thousand yuan in his pocket, and went to a jadeite raw stone market in Guangzhou, intending to try his luck.
Li Yang first walked through an archway and then into the bustling place.
