Seeing her like this, Zhao Hongying felt an inexplicable rage rising in her heart. "You only dare to turn your back on me. I beat you up like this, and you didn't even dare to say a word."
"What did I say?" Xu Meili sneered, "Beg for mercy?"
Zhao Hongying glared at her fiercely. "What good is there in being someone's shabby little lover? You seem quite content. If you want to be one, just be his wife!"
Xu Meili was speechless. "I just wanted a car, and she beat me like this. If I were her wife, wouldn't she beat me to death?"
Zhao Hongying seemed to have thought of something and pulled out a stool from under the bed and sat down. "Meili, you can't go down like this. Use your brain!"
If it happens once or twice, it will definitely happen again and again.
Doesn't it hurt to be beaten like this every time?
"You're younger than her, and she can't do what you can do!" Zhao Hongying said, lowering her voice as she offered her advice. "Take pregnancy and childbirth, for example. Every man, especially a wealthy one, wouldn't want a prosperous family. As long as you can hold on tight and get pregnant like Li Qingge did with three babies, I guarantee he'll cherish you dearly!"
"Mom, do you think she's a vegetarian? I just found out I'm pregnant, and she gets the news. She'll abort the baby right away, and there's no chance for me to give birth to the baby." Xu Meili didn't dare to try.
"You can't be so weak anymore. She hit you, why didn't you fight back?" Zhao Hongying frowned and said with disgust.
Xu Meili turned her head towards the window and didn't want to talk to Zhao Hongying. Some things were not as easy as she said.
Zhao Hongying continued, "If you can find a rich man in the future, our family's hard times will be over."
Xu Meili frowned impatiently, "Mom, can you please stop talking?"
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to listen, I won't say anything. Think about it yourself and see if this is the truth I'm talking about. The opportunity is already in front of you, and you must seize it firmly."
Xu Meili's eyes darkened, "..."
Her face was still recovering from the beating she received last time, and the man quickly found another lover outside.
She put in some effort and finally won the man's heart back.
After being beaten this time, the man will ignore her again.
However, if we rely on children, it would be best if we can keep the secret.
Xu Meili secretly had other plans.
——
night.
Xu Changan came to the hospital immediately after getting off work at the state-owned hotel.
I packed up some of the food that the guests hadn't touched during their meal at the restaurant.
Zhao Hongying ate with relish, and Xu Meili could tell at a glance that the food was left over by the guests.
Don't eat.
"Not to your liking?" Xu Changan said in a faint voice, "I'll change a few dishes for you tomorrow."
"Brother, didn't you say that our family's conditions have improved now? Why are you still eating other people's leftovers?" Xu Meili complained about the dirtiness.
Zhao Hongying slurred her words, "What's wrong with what others have left? It's not poisonous! If this were in our village, they wouldn't have it even if they wanted to eat it!"
This was made by the chef of a state-owned restaurant.
Xu Meili reluctantly tasted a small bite of the ribs, but couldn't suppress the nausea in her chest and stopped eating.
Xu Changan's frown deepened. "The dishes I packed back were left untouched by other customers. They were packed back by others, so they can only be packed back. These are the leftovers from other customers! So what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
"Pork rib soup." Xu Meili didn't have much appetite, so Zhao Hongying ate all five dishes.
"Why spend that money? I think this is fine." Zhao Hongying said anxiously, "You must not waste money recklessly. The most important thing for our family right now is to save money for you to get married. Do you understand?"
"Mom, I'll stay here with you tonight, you go back first."
Xu Changan didn't answer her and changed the subject.
"You must be very tired after working all day. Go back and have some rest. I'll stay with her tonight." Zhao Hongying waved her hand. Her son worked hard.
Xu Changan had something to say to his sister and insisted on staying.
Seeing that her son insisted, Zhao Hongying finally obeyed.
"Okay, I'll come over early tomorrow. If there's nothing else, you two can rest first."
After saying that, Zhao Hongying left the ward.
Xu Changan sat down and said, "Meili, what do you think about what I told you during the day?
There will be no future for you and him. Sooner or later, when you are old and ugly, and you don't have any children to take care of you, what will you do in the future? Are you going to live out your life alone in an empty house?"
"Brother, you guys have always made all the decisions for me. This time I want to make my own decision, okay?"
Xu Meili said in a calm tone.
Xu Changan looked at her quietly, "Okay, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you must never carry them on your own."
When Xu Meili heard her brother's caring words, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
Suddenly she remembered that her brother had always protected her like this since she was a child.
He was unaware of the fact that she was forced to marry.
If my brother knew, he would probably try his best to stop it, right?
Xu Meili raised her hand and held Xu Changan's broad palm, "Brother, we can't live like this anymore, we have to live a life of superiority!"
Xu Changan shook his head, "I just hope you can live your life in peace."
In addition, "Take some time to go back to your hometown and get your divorce done. Don't delay others."
"Actually, he is a very good person," said Xu Meili, who just has some minor problems with his legs and feet.
"Let's not talk about the past," it's useless and will only add to your troubles.
"Brother, it would have been better if you hadn't divorced Li Qingge back then." Their family's life would never have become like this today.
"Don't mention Li Qingge anymore. It has nothing to do with us."
"Yeah, okay."
“…”
Xu Meili suffered skin injuries and stayed in the hospital for a few days. However, the swelling on her face had not completely subsided when she was discharged.
She returned to the villa and opened the door to see the man and other women's clothes scattered on the ground...
Did you bring another woman here?
It seems her mother was right.
If you don't hold on to it tightly, you'll probably end up with nothing.
"Eh!" The woman was wearing a new pair of pajamas she had just bought. She looked at Xu Meili with disdain, "You're so ugly. Don't hang around in broad daylight, or you'll scare people!"
"Are you planning to live here?" Xu Meili suddenly asked.
The woman thought she would go crazy.
Unexpectedly, he was quite calm. With a smile on his face, he said, "Yes, take those tattered clothes in the upstairs bedroom closet with you now, or I'll have them thrown away."
"That's great." Xu Meili suddenly laughed out loud.
The woman was even more confused. Could it be that this man had a problem with his brain?
"why are you laughing?"
"I smiled because I finally didn't have to be beaten anymore." Xu Meili smiled because she was "really" happy. There were tears in the corners of her eyes. She was laughing and crying.
