She used to be overjoyed whenever she saw him come home. Could it be that she really has someone else on the side?
He heard his mother say on the phone that she had changed a lot, but he didn't expect it to be this much.
The timidity he once possessed has vanished, replaced by an imposing presence.
Seeing Xia Baozhu's arrogant demeanor and her audacity in giving the whole family attitude, Leng Yunfeng, the second sister, immediately became furious.
She dropped the vegetables she was holding and went to bang on Xia Baozhu's door.
"Xia Zhaodi, come out here!"
Leng Yunfeng used to bully Xia Zhaodi, and in her mind, Xia Zhaodi was a free servant who could be ordered around at will.
Now that this servant dares to rebel, her first reaction is to teach him a good lesson.
"What do you want?" Xia Baozhu opened the door and stared at Leng Yunfeng expressionlessly. She hadn't even taken off her scarf and mask when someone came knocking on the door.
"Are you trying to be rude? You don't even greet people when you see them, what do you want! Do you still want to stay here? If you don't want to stay, then go back to your rural village!" Leng Yunfeng came up with a fierce and menacing look.
"So, did I give you face, letting you yell at me like that? You should ask who you are!" Xia Baozhu took a step forward, getting closer to Leng Yunfeng.
Wang Aixiang, who had come closer, immediately pulled Leng Yunfeng back two steps.
"You bitch, how dare you talk to me like that!" Leng Yunfeng couldn't stand that the honest and kind person would curse her like that, and immediately wanted to rush over and slap Xia Baozhu, but her mother's tight grip prevented her from doing so.
"Yunfeng, stop!" Leng Yunfeng's man and Leng Minghui shouted at the same time.
At the same time, Leng Minghui came over and pulled Leng Yunfeng aside.
"How dare you talk to your sister-in-law like that? Do you think I don't exist?" Leng Minghui said unhappily.
If Xia Zhaodi was slapped in the face today, then his face was slapped in the same way.
Leng Yunfeng's man walked over and pulled her to a further place.
"Are you crazy? You beat your sister-in-law at home, and your brother is still here."
He muttered a complaint under his breath. His brother-in-law was doing better and better, and he was trying to curry favor with him, but his wife dared to hit his brother-in-law's wife, his sister-in-law.
"She insulted me, didn't you hear it?" Leng Yunfeng still looked aggrieved. She stood up for her whole family, but instead of being understood, she didn't get any understanding.
"You weren't the one who started it. Alright, hurry up and go cook."
Leng Yunfeng's husband said speechlessly that his wife was spoiled. She acted as if she wasn't even married yet, daring to interfere in her family's affairs and even trying to hit them.
If the brother-in-law and his wife get along well in the future, will they still have a good life?
The saying "Marry a virtuous wife" is absolutely true.
Fortunately, her brother-in-law is a truly capable person; otherwise, he would have considered divorce just because of her unreasonable and argumentative nature.
When Wang Aixiang saw Xia Baozhu lower her outstretched hand because she had nothing else to do, she knew that her eldest son's return had not had any deterrent effect. This bitch was determined to go down a dark path.
This is a good opportunity for Minghui to experience things properly; the sooner they get divorced, the better.
Xia Baozhu closed the door again, and this time it was quiet.
She took off her scarf and mask, washed her face, untied her braids, and sat down at her desk to begin writing.
The hardest part is getting your first pot of gold from scratch. She needs to bet on multiple fronts and ensure there's a sustainable way to make money.
When Leng Mingguang got off work, he heard that Xia Baozhu was indifferent to him and had even argued with her two younger sisters, which made him furious.
“Brother, look at what Xia Zhaodi has become! She was arrested and taken to the police station yesterday. Everyone outside is laughing at our family.”
"I asked around about yesterday's incident; it was a misunderstanding." Leng Minghui didn't want a wife who would end up in jail, so he had to explain.
“She’s always running around outside, leaving all the housework to Mom. Aren’t you going to do anything about it?”
"I'll ask her what happened tonight."
"If you ask me, you should just get a divorce. You've been married for years and don't even have a child," Leng Yunfeng said casually, touching her stomach.
She got married at the beginning of the year and is already pregnant. That's the normal rate at which a woman can conceive. Xia Zhaodi, who has been infertile for many years, must be sick, needless to say.
"Alright, I know what I'm doing. Don't bother preparing any more dishes. I'll take you to Wanfulou Restaurant for dinner."
Seeing that no one in the courtyard had cooked a single hot dish, Leng Minghui, who was hungry, grew impatient and inwardly complained that Xia Zhaodi was throwing a tantrum regardless of the occasion. He then decided to take the family out to eat.
"The food will be ready in no time, why go out and spend money?"
Wang Aixiang came out of the kitchen with a plate of stir-fried radish. Leng Minghui knew what it tasted like without even tasting it, which strengthened his resolve to eat out.
When he used to come back, Xia Zhaodi would cook for him, and she would always make the dishes he liked.
His family gathered around him to listen to his stories about the outside world, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere that made him feel that no matter how hard or tiring it was outside, it was all worth it.
Upon returning this time, however, he felt that everything was off and there was a tense atmosphere everywhere, which made him somewhat irritable.
In the end, the whole family, except for Xia Baozhu, went out to eat.
No one asked or paid any attention. If this kind of cold violence had happened to Xia Zhaodi in the past, she would have cried for two days. But for Xia Baozhu, she just felt that the people who were an eyesore of hers had all left, and she felt more at ease.
Leng Minghui returned slightly tipsy. He pushed the door, but it wouldn't budge. He patiently knocked, and the door opened.
"Is there something you need?" Xia Baozhu looked Leng Minghui up and down, her eyes devoid of any emotion.
"Go to sleep." Leng Minghui also looked Xia Baozhu up and down, but he couldn't see her face clearly because of the backlight. He could only feel that she was really different from the past. Her tone was very cold and hard, making him feel as if she was a different person.
