Chapter 617: My biological mother is the heroine of the stepmother novel (7)
Ever since Chen Xue got divorced and returned to her parents' home, she clearly felt that she was being despised. Her family couldn't understand why she wanted to divorce Wu Chengyue. They scolded her for being too pretentious and said that it was normal for a man to have an affair, but as long as he was willing to pay money to support the family and didn't have an illegitimate child, then it didn't matter, because he would eventually come home anyway...
She also blamed Chen Xue for not being able to hold a man's heart. Wu Chengyue was so rich, but instead of being a good wife, she wanted to divorce him and gave away a rich son-in-law for nothing. She was really stupid.
Chen Xue felt very aggrieved and explained many times that she could not tolerate an unfaithful marriage. Unfortunately, her thinking was not at the same level as people's thinking today, so she could not convince them at all, nor gain their understanding, which made her very uncomfortable.
In particular, her two sisters-in-law, seeing that she had returned to her parents' home and wanted to live with their entire family, occupying their already narrow living space, began to look down on her and often said, explicitly or implicitly, that their family was too small to accommodate too many people.
When Chen's mother saw her daughter coming back from get off work at the factory, she pulled her aside and said to her in a low voice, "Today, Wang's wife told me about a man. He is her eldest nephew from her mother's side. He was married once and has two children. His previous wife died of complications during childbirth. He wants to find a diligent and capable new wife to take care of the two children... Do you want to find time to meet him?"
Chen Xue frowned immediately, very disgusted, and said: "Mom, I don't want to remarry now. I finally got divorced. Can't you let me have some peace and quiet and live a more relaxed life?"
"What relaxing days? Women are destined to be toilsome all their lives! When they are young, they work like slaves in their parents' home. When they grow up, they are busy in their husband's home and have no peace. When they are old, they have to take care of grandchildren... This is the fate of us women, and no one can escape it. You have been divorced once now, why don't you seize the opportunity while someone is willing to want you? If it's too late, you will have no place to go for the rest of your life, and you will be a wandering ghost after you die. Don't be stupid!" Chen's mother persuaded her daughter earnestly.
Chen Xue's head hurt after hearing this. Although she had never been to college, she had attended high school for one year and was considered educated. She couldn't stand hearing Chen's mother's words that belittled herself as a woman, so she said indignantly: "Mom, who says that we women are born to suffer? We have jobs, we can make money, and we work as much as men. Why can men exploit women? I don't accept it! If you introduce someone to me with this intention, I won't even look at them!"
Chen Xue had the advanced thinking of a heroine. When she straightened her back and spoke to Chen's mother, she was very rebellious, even if her resistance was not thorough enough.
Chen's mother said angrily, "Why are you so stubborn? If you hadn't divorced Wu Chengyue and ran back to your parents' home to be laughed at, I wouldn't bother to care about you!"
After hearing this, Chen Xue said sadly: "So you want to marry me off because you dislike me..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Would your mother harm you? Don't women have to find a man to marry, otherwise they will have no one to rely on. I don't dislike you, but your two sisters-in-law have started to make indirect accusations, and there is really no room at home. Just think of it as finding another man for the sake of your parents' home." Chen's mother advised her with a sad face.
Chen Xue felt very upset. After hearing what her mother said, she knew that she couldn't stay in her mother's house for long. She was very strong-willed, so she had to agree: "But I don't want to meet Wang Sao's nephew. Even if I have to be a stepmother, I don't want to be the stepmother of a newborn baby. That's too hard. It's not my own child, and I can't take care of it wholeheartedly."
When Chen's mother heard that she was relieved, she immediately smiled and said quickly: "Okay, I won't meet Wang's nephew! Mom will ask other people for you..."
Wu Shichu didn't know that Chen Xue was about to remarry. In fact, Chen Xue decided to remarry several months later than in the original life. After all, in the original life, Chen Xue brought her daughter back to her parents' home. With two more people, she was even more disliked by her parents. Chen Xue's two pairs of brothers and sisters-in-law started to look at her coldly early on. She couldn't stand it, so she soon revealed that she wanted to remarry. Then she fell in love with Li Junrong on a blind date and hurriedly married him regardless of the fact that he had three sons.
But this time, Chen Xue no longer had her daughter as a burden, so she became much more popular than the original owner. After all, she was still young, less than 30 years old, pretty, and had a job. Even though she had been divorced once, her conditions were very good. Therefore, when Chen's mother wanted to find another one for her, many people came to her.
I wonder if Li Junrong, who has three sons, can succeed in winning the beauty this time?
"Wu Shichu, Qi Daiyuan is here to see you again!" When Wu Shichu was slowly packing his schoolbag, a classmate shouted loudly at the classroom door.
She looked outside and saw Qi Daiyuan with a cool little face and a schoolbag on his back.
Qi Daiyuan walked to her desk, took the book from her hand, and said, "I'll help you clean up. Please sit down for a while."
Since someone was doing it for her, Wu Shichu obediently gave up and let Qi Daiyuan help her pack her things.
After a while, her schoolbag was packed. Qi Daiyuan picked up the pink little schoolbag himself and said to Wu Shichu, "Okay, let's go."
Wu Shichu consciously took his empty hand and followed him out of the classroom.
"What is the relationship between Wu Shichu and that boy? Why did he come to see her?" a curious voice asked the other students who had not left yet.
"It's probably just an acquaintance relationship! Qi Daiyuan is a fourth-grade student, and Wu Shichu is under his protection." Another male voice, who seemed to know the situation well, answered.
…
Wu Shichu put aside the discussions behind her with amusement. Elementary school students in the lower grades were naturally in awe of senior students who were a few years older than themselves. Ever since Qi Daiyuan took her under his wing for some unknown reason and often came to find her to go home after school, those classmates who had bullied her in the past soon stopped making any moves and dared not do anything to her. This made Wu Shichu feel much more at ease.
"Brother, my aunt made some delicious red bean and osmanthus cake today. Do you want to come home with me and try it?" Wu Shichu had a good impression of this enthusiastic, kind and caring little boy. He couldn't bear to see him being his guardian angel in vain, so he naturally wanted to return the favor.
Qi Daiyuan thought for a while and quickly agreed: "Okay."
He lowered his eyes to glance at the little girl beside him, whose eyes sparkled and seemed very happy, and asked again, "Do you like red bean and osmanthus cake very much?"
"Of course I like it. The red bean and osmanthus cake is beautiful, sweet, soft and delicious." Wu Shichu said with a smile, and then asked, "Brother, don't you like it?"
"I like it." Qi Daiyuan answered without hesitation, not wanting to see the disappointed look of the little girl in front of him, but in fact he didn't even know what red bean osmanthus cake tasted like.
