The Feng family saw that they could not get any credit from Zhang Xiao'e, and their true colors were exposed one by one.
Her brother-in-law is lazy and idle all day long, waiting for her to serve him food and drinks. Her sister-in-law is vain and always tries to sow discord between her and Feng Junhui.
She would secretly wear Zhang Xiao'e's clothes and apply her cold cream every few days, then run out to hide in the woods with the male educated youth in the team. When she was discovered, she would say that the person who was fooling around with the men was Zhang Xiao'e.
She said that Zhang Xiao'e looked down on her brother, so she turned around and hooked up with the male educated youth, hoping to return to the city.
Feng Junhui already thought that Zhang Xiao'e looked down on him, so when he heard his younger sister say this, he naturally had no doubt at all.
The two of them developed a considerable rift over this matter, and Feng Junhui even assaulted Zhang Xiao'e several times.
However, Feng's parents, who knew the truth, turned a deaf ear to it. In their opinion, it was better to let Zhang Xiao'e be beaten than to ruin their daughter's reputation.
Moreover, their marital discord is better than the discord between the Feng family brothers and sisters. After all, if he loses his wife, he can marry another one, and he only has one blood sister.
So not only did they not testify for Zhang Xiao'e, but they also helped guard the door when Feng Junhui beat Zhang Xiao'e.
"What's wrong with coming from Beijing? You'll get beaten if you don't listen to men!" This is what Feng Junhui's father said to Zhang Xiaoe while smoking a pipe and baring his yellow teeth.
From the moment Zhang Xiao'e started staying at the Feng family to take care of her pregnancy, she was nominally taking care of the pregnancy, but in reality she was at home taking care of the family's food and daily life.
Not only did she have to cook and wash clothes, she even had to do heavy work like fetching water and chopping firewood while pregnant.
If I say I'm not feeling well, my mother-in-law will scold me:
"When I was pregnant with Junhui, I was still working on the reservoir embankment even though I was eight or nine months pregnant! What's the difference between you and me? Which pregnant woman in the team doesn't work? Are you the only ones from the city so proud?"
"That's right, any woman will get pregnant, and she wants to use pregnancy as an excuse to avoid work. Are you city people so lazy?" The sister-in-law who said this seemed to have forgotten that she was also a woman, a woman who had to let her sister-in-law wash even her underwear.
During her pregnancy, Zhang Xiao'e had spotting several times. Her mother-in-law said that spotting meant she was pregnant with a boy and refused to let her see a doctor.
Later, Feng Junhui heard about this and arranged for her to go to the obstetrics department of the hospital. The doctor said that the pregnant woman was malnourished and asked her to ensure that she drank at least one egg a day and avoid heavy labor.
When her mother-in-law and sister-in-law found out, they not only scoffed at the doctor's advice, but also scolded her together, saying that she had bribed the doctor and was just being lazy and doing nothing.
In order to save her child, Zhang Xiao'e simply took out the "back-up money" her parents had given her and bought fifty eggs from the team, cooking one for herself every day.
But I didn't expect that the next day, my mother-in-law took the whole basket of eggs and exchanged them for money.
The mother-in-law scolded Zhang Xiaoe for being a spendthrift and spoiled!
They had eaten stewed wild vegetables with bran when they were pregnant before, and their children were born white and plump. Why should it be different for her? Why did she have to eat eggs?
So, under the persuasion of her in-laws, Zhang Xiao'e gave birth to a son weighing only four pounds.
The child has been in poor health and often falls ill due to malnutrition.
A sickly and skinny grandson who was obviously untreatable quickly eroded the Feng family's love for the child.
Not to mention the parents-in-law, even Feng Junhui didn't like his son very much.
After Zhang Xiao'e had enough of the bullying from her in-laws, she decisively took her children back to the Corps.
She worked as an accountant in the factory while carrying her child on her back, taking care of both her work and her daily life, and was busy all day long.
But Feng Junhui, the father, is just like when he was single. In addition to his work in the clinic every day, he also finds time to flirt with other comrades.
After returning home, Zhang Xiao'e even had to wait for him to wash his feet... This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
