Sun Hongying was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do.
One moment she was worried that Huo Jiang really didn't want her anymore and wanted to divorce her, and the next she felt that what her sister-in-law and brother's wife said made sense.
Sun's mother glared at her two daughters-in-law, then took Sun Hongmei's hand and said, "Hongying, I'll say it again: you are my flesh and blood, the Sun family is your root. Your sister-in-law and brother's wife are saying these things for your own good."
Sun Hongying weakly replied, "Mother, I know."
Sister-in-law Sun and her brother's wife exchanged a glance, a rare moment of tacit understanding.
With Liu Guilan, the mother-in-law, in charge, it's too difficult to get any benefits from the Huo family. It's better to find someone easier to control.
They can ask for another dowry.
After Sun Hongying went to work, her mother called her two daughters-in-law over and gave them a dressing-down, telling them not to talk nonsense in front of Sun Hongying.
On the surface, Sister-in-law Sun and Sister-in-law Sun agreed readily, but inwardly they couldn't help but complain.
They didn't believe their mother-in-law truly believed that she would rather tear down ten temples than break up one marriage.
They're probably planning something big, and they want to get something out of the Huo family.
Sun Hongying was somewhat distracted at work that day, and after work, she didn't go back to her parents' home but secretly went to her husband's home.
When she got to the door, she hesitated and didn't want to go in, feeling it would be too embarrassing. So she went around to the back of the house, wanting to hear what they were saying inside.
Then all that could be heard was the cheerful laughter of the Huo family.
That vixen Ye Weiwei is here to freeload at the Huo family's house again!
A woman who hasn't even married into the family yet is going to her boyfriend's house for meals every few days. How shameless!
And those three good-for-nothings at home, they're just like their good-for-nothing father, they can't even fart when they're not doing anything. But now, their own mother hasn't been home for so many days, and instead of missing her, they're chatting and laughing with that vixen. They really are all ingrates!
While eavesdropping on the Huo family's gossip, Sun Hongying gritted her teeth in anger. Especially since the aroma of food kept wafting from the house, and she heard those two bastards, Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan, saying how delicious the braised pork was and how fragrant the big meat buns were, her stomach, which had been empty and weak from hunger for some time, protested uncontrollably and convulsed.
"Weiwei?" Huo Xiao nudged Ye Weiwei with his hand under the table. "Were you too tired after walking around town all day?"
Why is his girlfriend so distracted while eating?
It was fine just now.
Ye Weiwei withdrew her mental energy, ignoring Sun Hongying's distorted face of jealousy outside, and smiled at Huo Xiao, "A little."
Liu Guilan quickly said, "After you finish eating, let Lao San take you home so you can get some rest."
"Okay." Ye Weiwei remembered that she had promised to bring Hou Zheng some big meat buns, so she agreed.
When Ye Weiwei left the Huo family, she could no longer see Sun Hongying within her mental range, so she must have left.
"I bought a set of silver needles from town today, and I can start acupuncture on you tomorrow."
"Okay." Huo Xiao agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Ye Weiwei raised an eyebrow, "Don't you need to think about it? Aren't you afraid I'll make your condition worse?"
Huo Xiao rubbed her head. "How serious can it be? You're already crippled anyway."
Although the light was dim at night, Ye Weiwei still noticed a fleeting look of loneliness in Huo Xiao's eyes.
She patted Huo Xiao on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I can definitely cure you."
As the saying goes, "A young man with no beard is unreliable."
It's normal for Huo Xiao not to believe in her medical skills; let's let the facts speak for themselves.
"Okay." Huo Xiao put his arm around Ye Weiwei's waist and looked down at her. "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Ye Weiwei thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No."
Huo Xiao lowered his head. "Really nothing? Think about it again."
Ye Weiwei thought for a moment, then shook her head again, "Really, there isn't any."
Her main purpose in going to town today was to buy medicine. She had already told Huo Xiao about this before dinner, and Huo Xiao had taken over the task of finding the medicine. It was just a small matter, nothing much to say.
Huo Xiao's breath suddenly drew closer, and just as Ye Weiwei thought he was going to kiss her again and closed her eyes, the restraint on her waist was gone.
"Go back and get some rest."
"oh."
Ye Weiwei felt a little disappointed.
This guy flirted with you and then didn't take any responsibility!
Back at the educated youth settlement, Ye Weiwei noticed that the atmosphere there was a bit off, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She took out a lunchbox from her basket and gave it to Hou Zheng, saying, "I promised to bring you these big meat buns."
Hou Zheng was taken aback. "No need, I've already had dinner."
Ye Weiwei tossed the lunchbox to Hou Zheng, saying, "Then we'll save it for tomorrow. It won't spoil overnight anyway, given the weather."
"Some people, even when they have partners, still flirt around and don't care about the consequences at all!"
Upon hearing that Ye Weiwei had brought Hou Zheng a large meat bun, Li Jing said sourly.
Ye Weiwei looked at Li Jing with a half-smile, which made Li Jing's heart tremble. She wished she could slap herself. How could she be so forgetful and speak so quickly again!
"What are you looking at? I didn't say anything wrong!" Li Jing said again for some reason.
Ahhh!
What's going on?!
She was clearly only thinking about it, not saying it out loud!
Ye Weiwei slapped him hard across the face.
Snap!
Li Jing tilted her head to the side and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with two teeth.
She stared in horror at the teeth on the ground, clutching her slapped cheek, "You...how could you hit me..."
Ye Weiwei reached out and pinched Li Jing's chin. "I'm giving you one last chance. Say what you just said again."
Faced with Ye Weiwei's death stare, Li Jing's legs trembled, her teeth chattered, and she stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence: "I...I..."
Liu Xiangqian frowned, "Ye Weiwei, Li Jing just spoke offhand, she didn't mean any harm, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he automatically fell silent under Ye Weiwei's gaze.
"Liu Xiangqian, have I been too kind to you? Or do you think you have the right to lecture me just because you arrived earlier than me?"
Liu Xiangqian explained, "I just don't want you to fight over a small conflict and ruin the unity of the educated youth settlement!"
"She just said that I have a boyfriend but I'm still messing around with Hou Zheng. You call this a little conflict? Does that mean that if you see any young woman or married woman in the village tomorrow, I can accuse you of messing around with those women and sneaking into haystacks?"
"How can you spout such nonsense! This is slander!" Liu Xiangqian was furious. He always cherished his reputation. If such rumors were spread, his reputation, which he had built up over the years, would be completely ruined. How could he then return to the city?
"Heh! So this kind of thing is just a minor conflict when it happens to me, but it's slander when it happens to you! What, do you think you're superior to me?"
You don't feel the pain until you're cutting your own flesh!
Damn double standards!
Liu Xiangqian was speechless and his face turned very ugly.
