Chapter 3131【VIP】
Qing City First People's Hospital
The eloquent Boss Xu was at a loss for words. He really didn't expect that the second brother would do such a thing and keep it secret for so long.
No, maybe he's mentally ill? Why did he have to spill the beans at this moment? And who was Widow Zhang? She'd had affairs with so many men in the village, so how could he be so sure that Widow Zhang was carrying his child? How could he be so sure it was definitely a boy?
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. As long as I'm here, I'll make sure Widow Zhang never even thinks of entering the Xu family."
"Haha, let her come in if she wants. Who cares?" Xu Shanshan walked in with a cold expression. Behind her were Fang Zhiwen, holding the child, Peng Shuya, and Fang Yuanzhou. As for Xu Ruyi, she and Xu Meili were crying in the hallway.
Xu Meili choked up and said, "Third sister, Widow Zhang has moved in with us. Dad even forced Mom to take care of Widow Zhang."
Xu Shanshan was filled with anger as she watched Zhao Xiaohe silently weep. She said coldly, "They've bullied you to the point of being too aggressive, and you're not going to just hit them with a stick? If you can't handle it yourself, aren't our five daughters human beings? If that doesn't work, there's still the marriage law."
Boss Xu felt something was wrong when he heard this and quickly said, "Shanshan, if you do this, how are your parents going to deal with you in the future?"
"You're about to die, and you're still together?" Xu Shanshan scoffed twice, then said, "Dad, please go back and tell him to get the divorce certificate with my mom tomorrow."
As she said this, Xu Shanshan still did not forget to observe the expression on Zhao Xiaohe's face. Fortunately, she moved her lips but did not say anything to stop her.
Boss Xu disagreed. He said, "You're always messing around. Your parents are divorced? You think you're proud of your daughter L? You found a good man to marry, but don't forget you still have two younger sisters who are still unmarried."
"Divorce! I won't get married, but I can't let my mother die." Xu Ruyi said hatefully.
If it weren't for my mother protecting my third sister, she and Meili would have been drowned in the toilet jar by Xu Laoer. There would be no future for them.
"Do you agree? What about your elder and second sisters? Are the Qiang and Qian families also happy with it?"
"Dad, we agree too." Xu Daya and Xu Erya came in from outside and stood in a row with their sisters. The five sisters stood from the head of the bed to the foot, completely protecting Zhao Xiaohe. Boss Xu wanted to throw a few glances, but he couldn't find any loopholes.
Fang Zhiwen, holding the child, was fed up with Boss Xu's endless chatter and threatened directly, "Divorce is too easy. If he doesn't stay in jail for two years, won't all my suffering be in vain?"
Fang Yuanzhou glanced at his granddaughter who was about to wake up and said quickly, "Zhiwen, go find your Uncle Liang."
When Boss Xu saw Director Fang show up, he thought that with his ability, his younger brother might really go to jail, so he quickly said all the good things and hurried back to the village to tell his second brother about the matter.
Xu Lao Er was also panicked this time, but he also said aggrievedly: "Brother, how could I have known that she would commit suicide?"
Yang Dani said, "Why are you panicking? I remember Fang Zhiwen came to the village last time and said that you need a marriage certificate to be considered husband and wife. You and Xiaohe don't have a marriage certificate, so you're not husband and wife. What are you afraid of?"
Xu Laoer started to tremble when he heard this, and he shouted the same thing in front of Fang Zhiwen the next day.
Fang Yuanzhou's comrade, Secretary Liang, kindly explained, "You and Zhao Xiaohe have five daughters, and your marriage is a de facto marriage. Our country recognizes such marriages as valid. If Comrade Xu doesn't believe it, feel free to consult the relevant departments."
Hearing this, Xu Laoer softened again.
He said, "Just divorce me, and don't regret it."
In the hospital, Xu Ruyi, Xu Meili and Peng Shuya were taking care of Zhao Xiaohe.
The man who had been silent for a few days suddenly said, "I have never made my own decision in my life. This time I want to make my own decision."
Xu Ruyi was anxious: "Mom, he has treated you like this, and you still can't leave him?"
Peng Shuya stopped Xu Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, listen to your mother. You and Meili go out first, and let your aunt accompany your mother."
Xu Ruyi and Xu Meili left the ward, looking back every few steps. They were really afraid that Zhao Xiaohe would change her mind.
Peng Shuya sat beside her, holding Zhao Xiaohe's rough, dry hand and saying, "Sister, we are the same age, and we are both children from poor families. I understand the pain in your heart."
Zhao Xiaohe looked up at Peng Shuya and said with a pursed mouth, "You don't understand."
She is so capable and Director Fang is so considerate, how could she possibly understand?
"Sister Xiaohe, you probably don't know. Before I married Fang Yuanzhou, I was just a maid in his family. It was not easy to be a maid in the old days. The old man in the family loved to hit people on the head with his copper pipe." As she spoke, Peng Shuya pulled apart the top of her head, and saw that there was indeed a scar inside.
"Grandpa? Is he Fang Zhiwen's grandfather?"
"He was the patriarch of the Fang family at the time, Zhiwen's second great-grandfather. But the reason I understand isn't because of my own early experiences. It's because of the real-life example of my parents. My father was a tenant farmer of the Fang family. He had no real skills, but a bad temper. Because my mother only had me, a daughter, L, he became addicted to alcohol and would often take it out on my mother. My mother put up with it until I was five, but then she couldn't stand it anymore and passed away."
"Gone? Then don't you hate her?"
"Sister, how can I not protect her because of my inability to do so? I only hate myself for dragging her down.
"But......"
"Sister, is it difficult?"
Zhao Xiaohe shook her head. It was just a matter of living together. What was important to her after marriage?
Most of the people in their village have the surname Fang, including uncles and other elders. If she gets divorced, how will she live?
And if you get a divorce, you can leave yourself alone, but what about the children?
"Sister, come with us to Lin City."
"Going to Lin City?"
"Well, let's go to Lin City."
If Zhao Xiaohe doesn't want to, what's the point of living with the Fang family?
"Don't worry, you're not living with us. Ruyi knew your personality a long time ago, so before coming here, she asked someone to rent a room in our family building. It's about ten square meters, enough for you and your daughter to live in."
"Two people?"
"Of course, Meili must also go with us to the nearby city. Sister, the children are grown up now, give them a chance to shelter you from the wind and rain."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xiaohe couldn't help but imagine her five daughters L standing by her bedside, protecting her. Her dizzy mind finally cleared up a little.
It seemed like she could really be relied upon.
My in-laws' mother abandoned their five-year-old daughter, L, and ran away. She went from being a servant in a landlord's house to becoming a university president. Could I, too, have a different life?
Shanshan went to the nearby city and changed.
Ruyi has also changed.
Can she do it too?
But thinking about her age, she felt a little insecure. Even Zhao Xiaohe didn't know what kind of life was different?
Fortunately, despite her many anxieties, she listened to her daughter L and separated from Xu Laoer completely. She never even returned to the village or saw Xu Laoer for the last time. She went directly from Qing City to Lin City.
On the train, Xu Ruyi and Xu Meili chattered excitedly. Zhao Xiaohe watched the scenery pass by outside the window, feeling empty inside. But soon she had no time to think about the past.
