Ji Ling leaned into his arms again, found a comfortable position and closed her eyes, "What time is it?"
"Ten twenty, you can sleep a little longer and then get up for lunch at noon."
Ji Ling opened her eyes suddenly, "It's so late?"
When she tried to get up, a big hand pushed her down, and at the same time, Zhu Weidong's gentle voice came over.
"It's not shameful to be lazy in bed, why are you in such a hurry? Yaowu and the others haven't gotten up yet, you're not the only one."
When Ji Ling heard this, she suddenly remembered what Zhu Weidong said to her last night.
Yes, if she was at home, she wouldn’t feel anything even if she slept until night.
Finally, she found a reason that she thought was reasonable, "But I am the daughter-in-law."
Unconsciously, I expressed my thoughts.
"My daughter-in-law is not an outsider. Once she marries into the Zhu family, she is a member of the Zhu family." Zhu Weidong smiled, "Lie down and sleep with me for a while."
Ji Ling, "Then I'll accompany you."
The best thing in life is to sleep until you wake up naturally.
Downstairs, Grandpa Zhu teased Niu Niu for a while before sitting down to make a phone call. Grandma Zhu only saw him take out a notebook and dial the number on it.
Old Mrs. Zhu didn't care at first, but when she heard the old man call "relative-in-law", she looked up in surprise.
"My dear relatives, we haven't seen each other since Xiaoling gave birth to her child. Have you been doing well in the past six months?"
"I just happened to have nothing to do, so I called you. I hope I didn't disturb you. If you're not busy, we can chat for a while."
"You know about Xiaoling's miscarriage, right? I need to explain this to myself and my in-laws. Your daughter-in-law had a miscarriage, and it's really not Xiaoling's fault. In fact, the real victim is Xiaoling. She had a miscarriage to save your daughter-in-law. Of course, no one wants this to happen, but since it happened, we can't blame anyone. No one would want this to happen, not to mention that our two families are in-laws."
"I just didn't expect my mother-in-law to misunderstand and call to question Xiaoling. Xiaoling is a kind-hearted child who doesn't complain when she is wronged. But the child is injured and wronged. It's time for her to recuperate. How can this be allowed? I took the liberty to call you and explain the reason for the incident."
Ji Yong was dumbfounded. After hanging up the phone, he just sat there in a daze.
Xu Fang came in from outside carrying a basin, "It's suddenly become hot these past few days, and it's getting too hot to wash vegetables outside."
When I looked up, I saw my husband sitting there in a daze.
She asked, "What's going on?"
"Did you know about Xiaoling's miscarriage?"
Xu Fang pursed her lips and said, "I received a call from Jianhua the day before yesterday and heard him mention it."
"What else did Jianhua mention?" Ji Yong asked.
Xu Fang felt guilty, "I was busy at the time and didn't listen carefully. Why are you asking about this?"
Then he added, "My parents will be here soon. I'll go make dinner first. We can talk to you in the evening if anything else."
"No, tell me now." Ji Yong stood up and stopped his wife from going to the backyard. He looked at her directly and said, "Xu Fang, did you call the Ji family?"
When her husband asked about it, Xu Fang knew she could no longer hide the matter.
"At that time, Sanmei had a miscarriage, and Xiaoke called and said it was because of Xiaoling. She didn't say Xiaoling also had a miscarriage. I couldn't find her on the phone, so I called Zhu's house. I was angry at the time, so I said that."
Pop.
Xu Fang covered her face and looked at her husband in disbelief, "You hit me?"
"Ji Yong, what's going on?" Xu's mother immediately walked to her daughter's side and protected her behind her. "If there is any conflict between husband and wife, they can sit down and talk it out. How can you use violence?"
"When Xu Fang wanted to marry you, her family didn't stop her. You were not well off at the time, so Xu Fang married down from you. We also saw that you had good character. You have disappointed us so much."
Faced with his mother-in-law's repeated questioning, although Ji Yong felt ashamed, he did not back down. He still looked at his wife hiding behind his mother-in-law with anger in his eyes.
Xu Fang lowered her head and said nothing.
Mr. Xu came over and said, "Tell me what happened first."
"Dad." Ji Yong's voice was dry. "If Xu Fang did something to me, even if it cost me my life, I would not hit her."
That's a serious statement.
Xu's mother's heart skipped a beat. She turned around and looked at her daughter. "Xiaofang, what did you do to Xiaoling again?"
Ji Yongqi smiled, "Xu Fang, look, mom and dad know that you treat Xiaoling badly, do you still want to quibble now? Have you ever thought about how Xiaoling will get along with her husband's family if you do that? You are her mother, not her enemy."
Xu's mother was anxious when she heard this, and she urged her daughter, "Why don't you speak? What did you do?"
Xu Fang lowered her head, "Don't blame me."
"Then is it Xiaoling's fault? Is it because she is your daughter that she has to suffer such injustice?" Ji Yong asked back.
Xu Fang raised her head and glared at him fiercely, "Ji Yong, this is a misunderstanding. I explained it to you. If I knew the truth, would I do that?"
"Okay, Ji Yong, tell me what happened?" Old Master Xu spoke.
The two stopped arguing, and Ji Yong told him what his wife had done.
After he said the last sentence, the whole store fell silent. Xu's mother looked at her daughter, so shocked that she didn't know what words to use to express her feelings at the moment.
She also didn't expect her daughter to do such a thing.
The Xu family closed their eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again with a cold look in their eyes, "Go home."
But these words were said to Xu's mother.
After Mr. Xu left, Xu's mother looked at her daughter, extremely disappointed, and went to chase her husband.
She didn't have the face to stay any longer as she blamed her son-in-law as soon as she came in.
Ji Yong looked at his wife coldly and turned away.
Xu Fang was cold all over, and the basin in her hand fell to the ground, with the vegetables in the basin scattered all over the floor.
Today is Xu Fang's birthday. Her mother called and asked her to come over to visit. She has been married for many years and has never come home for her birthday. But this time she came, but left disappointed again.
Xu Fang sat down blankly. The empty shop, which usually seemed small, seemed too big at this moment, making people feel empty inside.
After Ji Yong went out, he didn't know where to go. He wandered around outside until dark before returning home.
He didn't go to the backyard, but simply set up a bed at the counter of the shop in front and slept there.
Xu Fang heard the noise, came over to take a look, and then went back to the backyard.
In Taipei City, after returning home, Mr. Zhu locked himself in the study. Mother Xu thought about her daughter and sighed repeatedly.
How come they were raised in the wrong way? It happened to my son and my daughter too.
