For the past two days, Jinju has stayed at home obediently, without stepping out of the house. She still feels that what the mother and son said that day seemed to have another meaning.
But today Wang Hui arranged to meet her in the alley. If she didn't keep the appointment, Wang Hui might really come to her door and confront her.
Faced with such a difficult situation, Jinju paced anxiously back and forth in the room, like an ant on a hot pan.
Just then, Zheng Yilan's loud voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Jinju, are you incubating eggs in there? Why aren't you out working?"
Hearing her mother-in-law's veiled criticism, Jinju had no choice but to slowly walk out of the bedroom and pretend to be aggrieved, saying, "Mom, you've misunderstood. I was just putting Pandi to sleep."
"Hmph! Don't use Pandi as an excuse. I think you're just slacking off in there." Zheng Yilan scolded irritably, then pointed to the large plastic basin full of clothes in the toilet and said sternly, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and wash these clothes. The sun is shining now, maybe they can still dry." As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Yilan turned and left, muttering complaints under her breath.
"All you do is stay home and eat, you do nothing all day, you lazy bum." Zheng Yilan's words were like a sharp blade, deeply piercing Jinju's heart.
She silently endured her mother-in-law's sarcastic remarks, but her heart was filled with grievances and helplessness.
It's because she has no one to help her take care of the child.
Looking at the mountain of dirty clothes, Jinju felt extremely unwilling.
After a grueling half-hour struggle, Jinju felt completely exhausted. Her hands were covered in blisters, and even the slightest touch was excruciating.
At this moment, the entire living room was unusually quiet; you could hear a pin drop clearly.
Jinju tentatively called out, "Mom..."
However, no response was received.
It seems my mother-in-law isn't home; this is truly a blessing from heaven!
Jinju happily entered the bedroom and quickly began to put on makeup and change clothes.
After carefully dressing up, she cautiously picked up her child and went out, completely unaware that a man wearing a hat was following her.
Upon entering the narrow, dark alley, one could see Wang Hui standing there from afar.
"Xiaoju, over here!"
Wang Hui waved over with a beaming smile, his eyes filled with undisguised excitement and anticipation.
"Quickly, let me hold the child. I haven't seen her for days. She seems to have become even more beautiful and charming."
Wang Hui carefully took Pandi and hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he were afraid of dropping her or melting her in his mouth. He simply couldn't put her down.
In fact, the moment he first saw the little girl, he knew from his first instinct that she must be his own flesh and blood!
Especially the black mole on his neck, which was in the exact same spot as his.
"Xiaoju, when are you going to divorce Li Haoxuan? After all, I am the father of the child."
Just as Jinju was about to speak, a familiar yet chilling voice came from beside her.
"You shameless slut, how dare you cheat on me with other men and even give birth to a bastard child!"
Li Haoxuan's eyes widened in fury, radiating a violent aura. His fists clenched so tightly they cracked, as if he wanted to rush forward and tear the two despicable people in front of him to pieces.
The thought that his head had already been turned into a green field, and the idea that this shameless woman had shamelessly submitted to other men for pleasure, made him feel a wave of nausea wash over him.
"Pah! What a fucking jinx! I must have been blind to marry such a piece of trash like you!"
Jinju's body froze instantly, her face turning deathly pale, as if she had seen a vengeful ghost.
Oh no!
She quickly stepped forward to explain, "Brother Haoxuan, it's not what you think. Pandi is our child."
"Smack—"
Li Haoxuan slapped her across the face and spat on the ground, "You bitch, go back and get your things and get out of here."
If he hadn't been more careful these past two days, he might have been fooled by this bastard for the rest of his life.
"Waaaaah..."
Li Pandi clenched her fists and burst into tears.
Wang Hui pulled Jinju up and shielded her behind him, facing Li Haoxuan directly. "Since you've seen it all, let's lay it all out. Pandi is my child with Xiaoju, and Xiaoju has always been my woman."
Jinju stood behind Wang Hui, covering her face. The slap she had just received had severed their friendship.
She admitted that she loved Li Haoxuan, but this man not only let his mother bully her, but also had affairs with other women. She had really had enough.
"Ugh... you bastard."
Li Haoxuan's violent streak erupted, and he swung his fist and went forward to punch Wang Hui.
Wang Hui was caught off guard and punched, then coughed up blood the next second.
"Ah...blood..." Jinju's eyes widened in fright.
Wang Hui entrusted his daughter to Jin Ju, abandoned everything, and went all out to fight Li Haoxuan.
The two grown men punched each other repeatedly until the other was unrecognizable.
"Stop, stop hitting."
Jinju looked left and right, afraid of attracting attention.
However, the commotion the two caused grew louder and louder, and more and more people gathered at the alley entrance, pointing and whispering about the three of them.
A passerby boasted, "Oh, it's a love triangle. The woman who cheated will be drowned in a pig cage."
Passerby B sighed, "It's not the old society anymore, there's no more drowning in pig cages. But why do I feel like that man and woman look familiar?"
"It looks like the Li family's son and daughter-in-law."
After their identities were revealed, the discussions among the people grew even louder.
The matter escalated, and eventually someone called the police.
The three of them went to the police station together.
As soon as Zheng Yilan entered the family compound, she noticed the strange looks from the people around her.
Before she could even ask, everyone started telling her what had happened.
"Yilan, Jinju is a real scoundrel. Tell Haoxuan to divorce her immediately."
Zheng Yilan was startled. "I have to go see my son."
That damned Jinju, she really cheated on her son!
When she arrived at the police station, she pinched and scratched Jinju's face, as if she wanted to ruin it.
The police officer loudly reminded, "Quiet down, this is a police station."
Zheng Yilan paused, her face turning pale and then flushed.
"Mom, let's go home."
"Son, are you alright? Let Mom check on you."
Li Haoxuan was beaten black and blue, and Wang Hui wasn't much better off.
"Ouch...it hurts...stop touching me."
"Jinju, you have one day to pack your things and get out of here."
From another perspective, Jinju's departure is a good opportunity for his mistress to move out, so people won't call him a heartless man.
