Huang Xin never expected his stepdaughter to humiliate him in front of so many people. Although he knew that Cai Ying had never liked him and believed that she and her mother had always supported him, he would have no status in the family if he didn't have the house and the pension.
Especially after Sun Caihua became pregnant, she suffered from severe morning sickness, yet she still had to work from dawn till dusk. This made her daughter feel even more sorry for her mother.
She looked down on him more and more, but she didn't even consider that if he were physically healthy, would he even look at a woman who was six years older than him and ugly?
He won't even be discharged from the military. Even if he is, he should be transferred to a civilian job and have a formal position.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Now, he really does need these two people to make a living.
So he quickly apologized, but he overestimated his leg strength while using crutches. He had only taken a few steps forward when he was already exhausted.
"Ying, quick, help your mother up. If it's spilled, just leave it. Why are you picking it up and eating it? It's all dirty. Hurry up."
Huang Xin rubbed his legs, his face pale and covered in cold sweat. He had no choice but to ask the people around him to help him to his wheelchair.
The field was uneven and full of potholes, making it impossible for a wheelchair to get in. For the last few dozen meters, one had to use crutches to get in.
Little did he expect to run into Tang Cuihua, watching her being surrounded by her family and receiving their care, while he was being mocked by his stepdaughter.
He suddenly felt a surge of irritation, especially the sight of Sun Caihua kneeling on the ground, grabbing food mixed with mud and eating it, which was truly unbearable.
Cai Ying tried to help her mother up, but Sun Caihua shook off her hand with an embarrassed expression.
"You eat what's left in the basket, and I'll eat what spilled outside. How can we work this afternoon if we don't eat our fill? Hurry up!"
As Cai Ying watched her mother eat with her dirty hands, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Mom, stop eating! I'll make you some more when we get home. You're pregnant, what kind of diet is this?!"
While Cai Ying was fuming, she looked up and saw Huang Xin sitting in a wheelchair, looking at her with a look of disgust. She was immediately furious.
"How could you look at my mother like that? You can't even cook a meal properly, and you throw away food for someone else. What are you thinking? You just look down on my mother, don't you? If you don't like her, why did you marry her in the first place? Do you really think we have nowhere else to go?"
Before Cai Ying could finish speaking, Sun Caihua grabbed her.
"Yingzi, what are you saying? Hurry up and eat, we only have a short break."
As she spoke, she looked up at Huang Xin expressionlessly and said, "You can go now, there's nothing else here."
Huang Xin couldn't argue with the mother and daughter in front of everyone, especially since he couldn't tolerate what Cai Ying had just said.
But he wasn't stupid. He could tell that Sun Caihua was holding back, especially the look in her eyes, which was filled with disappointment, grievance, and resentment.
Tang Cuihua had no interest in dealing with this family. Her two sisters helped her walk, and Sun Caihua couldn't help but glance at her basket.
"Tang Cuihua, can I have some of your mung bean water?"
"Look how much dirt I've eaten! My husband spilled his water trying to help you, he's really thirsty."
Cuihua was taken aback, clearly not expecting Sun Caihua to ask her for a drink in such a tone, and immediately retorted with a bit of a laugh.
"I only brought four bottles for my family, one for each person, and there were no extras!"
Also, you can eat this food mixed with dirt, but you can't talk about it. What do you mean by "helping me"?
What did he do for me?
Come on, everyone, tell me, what did Huang Xin do to help me just now?
She doesn't owe them anything, so why should she wrong her own people and let them take advantage of her?
When Huang Xin is mentioned, she feels like she was blind to have almost married such a person. She is grateful that God had eyes and didn't let her fall into that trap.
The onlookers looked left and right, unsure of what to say.
Huang Xin originally wanted to leave, but Sun Caihua's words made him furious.
"What are you saying, Caihua? It was my fault for spilling the food. I'll go home and cook it again, and bring it back to you, okay?"
Sun Caihua's temper is like a cat's fur standing on end; she can flare up at the slightest provocation.
"Of course not, I'm pregnant. I've been working all morning, and I haven't even eaten anything. I've just swallowed a bellyful of dirt."
Huang Xin, is this how you take care of my daughter and me? We've never wronged you, have we? Why can't you show us any consideration?
“My daughter prepares breakfast in the morning, so you can eat it right away. When you get home in the evening, you can also wait for us to cook. We're only letting you cook this one meal.”
We never complained even if you didn't do a good job, but you knew we were hungry and thirsty, yet you still came late!
Not only were you late, but you also threw away the entire meal. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for us?
And you, Tang Cuihua, did you do this on purpose? Did you deliberately come with my man to deliver food?
We eat at this time every day, you guys usually eat much earlier than us, what are you planning to do today?
Cuihua was amused and annoyed by Caihua's words. Not only were Cuifeng and Cuilan unhappy, but Tao Changyi and Tao An also couldn't stand it.
"Huang Xin's family, look at what you're saying. The time when Cuihua delivers meals depends on the schedule of their health center."
We haven't complained yet, so why are you grumbling here?
What did she do on purpose? Did she deliberately try to compete with the quality of your food?
As he spoke, he took out an egg pancake from the basket with a conflicted expression, hesitated, and looked at Sun Caihua while holding it in his hand.
"Although Cuihua's cooking skills are superb, don't be jealous of us in this way. At worst, we'll just..."
"Dad, don't give her any. We don't even have enough for ourselves. Those are egg pancakes, which Sister Cuihua specially made to help us get better."
Before his father could finish speaking, Tao An became anxious, only to see his father's hand bend and put it directly into his mouth.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, every family has its difficulties. My son is right, we can't let you, an outsider, benefit from this."
As he spoke, he turned and beckoned to Cuifeng, Cuilan, and Xiao'an.
"Come on, let's hurry up and eat. Let's finish eating early so your sister can go home sooner. She has to go to work this afternoon!"
It's so tough. A pregnant woman, carrying such a big belly, still has to work so hard for us.
Unlike some people who do absolutely nothing and let two women support them, they have no shame!
Tao Changyi's words were like a resounding slap across Huang Xin's face. He opened his mouth, wanting to curse back.
But they saw that the other party had already led Cuihua and the others away, leaving this place of trouble.
Sun Caihua remained silent with a gloomy face, while Cai Ying anxiously wiped away her tears. The people around them were more interested in the spectacle than anything else.
It's rare to have such a juicy piece of gossip when you're physically and mentally exhausted. For Chinese people who love excitement, it at least fills the void in their spirits.
No one really cares about the feelings of this family of three. Don't be fooled by their nice words; who knows what they're really thinking inside!
Judging from Sun Caihua's increasingly pale face, you could tell how distressed she was at that moment...
