Hearing someone calling her, Shen Hongmei looked up, and when she recognized it was Liang Ke'an, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.

unlucky!

Zhao Dafa had never seen Liang Ke'an, but his man's intuition allowed him to guess Liang Ke'an's identity.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

After saying that, he was about to get up and meet Liang Ke'an.

Shen Hongmei held his hand and said, "Don't worry about him. Let's eat our food."

Zhao Dafa listened to her and picked up a piece of braised pork for her with chopsticks. "Okay, then eat it quickly, or the food will get cold soon."

Seeing that Shen Hongmei ignored him, Liang Ke'an couldn't help but shout again: "Shen Hongmei, come out for a moment."

Shen Hongmei slammed her chopsticks on the table. "Are you done yet? Can't you see that I don't have time to answer you?!"

Not to mention Liang Ke'an, even Zhao Dafa was startled by Shen Hongmei's sudden temper.

Liang Ke'an felt so embarrassed to be scolded by a woman in public. If it wasn't for his mother's matter, he really wanted to turn around and leave.

Seeing that Shen Hongmei refused to come out, he had to shamelessly walk into the restaurant and come to the dining table.

"Shen Hongmei, my mother said some very harsh words. Please forgive her for once because she is old and confused."

Shen Hongmei sneered, "Do you Liang family members not understand what I'm saying? Okay, I'll answer you one last time. I won't forgive you, and I won't reconcile with you. Do you understand?"

Liang Ke'an's face looked a little ugly, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

"What do you want in exchange for letting my mother go?"

Shen Hongmei was completely furious. "Who won't let go of whom? How long has it been since we went on a blind date? I have forgotten about you, but what about you Liang family members? You keep coming to my house to harass me, and you keep stabbing me in the wound. Did I dig up your Liang family's ancestral graves or kill your parents? Why should I put up with it?"

Liang Ke'an was so embarrassed by her retort that he felt he was in the wrong, and his attitude became more pleading.

"Just give my mother a chance to live, okay? She's already old..."

Shen Hongmei interrupted: "When you spoke ill of me and slandered my reputation, did you ever think of giving me a way to live?"

"If it had been ten years ago, or if I had been a little more fragile, I would have been forced to death by your family!"

"If I really hanged myself, you Liang family members wouldn't feel guilty at all. You would just scold me for what I deserved and think that it was my own fault."

Liang Ke'an was speechless.

Because he knew that what Shen Hongmei said was absolutely right.

In the past, a woman's reputation was more important than her life.

"Liang Ke'an, you Liang family have offended the wrong person! If you have anything to say, go tell the police and the judge directly, don't come to me again, otherwise, I will go to your unit and have a good talk with your leader!"

Seeing that there was no turning back, Liang Ke'an had no choice but to leave in disgrace.

…

After the Liang family paid 440 yuan in compensation, the mother and daughter were finally able to return home.

Along the way, the Liang family members all complained about Liang's mother one after another.

The two daughters-in-law, in particular, had often suffered from Liang's mother's anger. Now that they had found the chance, they were eager to return all the anger they had suffered in the past.

Liang's mother was very upset and felt aggrieved because she had lost a large sum of money in vain.

"It's all Xiling's fault. If I hadn't thought that Shen Hongmei could arrange a job for me, I wouldn't have paid any attention to her."

Seeing that the whole family was looking at her with blaming eyes, Liang Xiling retorted unconvincedly.

"This is not my fault. It was Shen Hongmei who greeted us first. I thought she had not given up on Third Brother and wanted to please Mom, so I brought Mom into the restaurant."

Both mother and daughter thought it was not their fault.

But in the eyes of the Liang family, both mother and daughter were totally wrong!

"Mom, our family lost so much money this time, and we borrowed the money from others."

The three sons only hand over half of their salary every month for living expenses.

The remaining half of the salary, as well as the money earned by the two daughters-in-law, are kept by each family.

Although she had some private money, it was the result of her lifelong frugality and it was her last savings. She was reluctant to use it to pay off her debts.

But it’s different for sons and daughters-in-law. They are still young and it’s easy for them to make money.

Four hundred and forty yuan, shared equally among the three sons, only a little over a hundred yuan each.

How could the two daughters-in-law not see Liang's mother's plan?

Normally they were on guard against them like thieves, but now they wanted them to clean up the mess after they got into trouble. No way! But they couldn't just say they wouldn't help Liang's mother pay off her debts.

Firstly, it will give people a reason to talk, and secondly, their men will not agree.

In this regard, the two daughters-in-law had already thought of a solution.

"Mom, Xiling can't keep going on like this. She gets into so much trouble every day. If she had started working right after graduation, she would have earned more than 400 yuan by now."

Mrs. Liang echoed, "That's right, Xiling, we're not saying anything bad about you, you're really outrageous. Not only did you get into trouble yourself, but you dragged mom into it. If something happened to mom today, would you be able to take responsibility?"

These words were unanimously agreed by the three sons of the Liang family.

Liang's mother is her biological mother. Even if she committed a heinous crime, they cannot blame her at all.

Although they also doted on their younger sister Liang Xiling, Liang Xiling's status and importance were far inferior to that of Liang's mother.

Besides, they needed an outlet for what happened today.

As a result, Liang Xiling became the target of the Liang family.

After some verbal criticism, Liang's eldest sister-in-law took the opportunity to propose two plans.

One is to let Liang Xiling work in the factory to screw screws and pay off the debt owed today; the other is to find a husband for Liang Xiling and use the betrothal gift to pay off the debt.

Liang Xiling is only nineteen years old this year, so naturally she doesn't want to get married early, so she had to agree to work in the factory as a screwdriver.

On the other side, Shen Hongmei and Zhao Dafa had already finished dinner and were on their way home.

Although he felt great cursing Liang Ke'an in the restaurant, he felt a little regretful after cursing Shen Hongmei.

It’s not that I regret scolding Liang Ke’an, but I regret scolding him in front of Zhao Dafa.

A woman in love always hopes to maintain a good image in front of her partner.

Thinking about this, she looked at Zhao Dafa who was driving, "Brother Zhao, if I sue the Liang family, will you think I am unreasonable?"

“No.”

Zhao Dafa smiled and said, "I think you did nothing wrong in this matter. You were very decisive and I was impressed by you."

Compared with the delicate dodder, he appreciates strong, intelligent and decisive women more, and he also needs such a virtuous wife.

"To be honest, when that guy surnamed Liang came to you, I was worried that you would be fooled by his few nice words and ruin the case."

For some reason, Shen Hongmei sensed a hint of sourness in these words.

She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "He did want to, but it's useless to think about it!"

"Then I feel relieved."

The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

After a brief silence, Zhao Dafa broke the silence by saying, "Hongmei."

"Um?"

"I meant what I said earlier." (End of this chapter)
