When Li Mingqing went out, Old Lady Wu and Sun Jiaxue were chatting animatedly.
Seeing him come out, Old Lady Wu asked, "How is the old man?"
"I'm awake, but I can't get out of bed yet. I have to wait two days."
"Thank goodness, I finally woke up. Otherwise, how would an old woman like me live?"
"I see that you and uncle are both in good health. If nothing else, you have to take good care of yourself for Xiaoya's sake."
Old Lady Wu sighed and said, "Poor little girl, she has to go through so much at such a young age. Even having a father and a mother is useless."
"I see she's a lot more lively than before. I guess it's because you guys dote on her so much."
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue went out and saw Zhang Chengming and Wu Lili arguing at the door.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like that.
It is not easy for Wu Lili to be pregnant with this child, and the Zhang family will give in to her.
Seeing Wu Lili crying breathlessly, Sun Jiaxue quickly tried to persuade her, "Lili, what's wrong?"
"Jiaxue, please judge for yourself. Why can't I go back to my parents' home?"
Zhang Chengming explained: "It's not that I don't allow you to go, it's just that you're pregnant and it's inconvenient for you now."
"How can it be inconvenient? It's in the next village, only 20 minutes away. Why didn't you say it was inconvenient when I went to work in the fields with a big belly?"
Old Lady Zhang also said, "Lili, be obedient and wait until the baby is born before going back."
“Why don’t you let me go back!”
"Who would always go back to their parents' home after getting married and starting a family?"
"Mother-in-law, what you said is really heartless. I didn't even go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you say I go to my parents' house every day?"
"Lili, that's not what I meant."
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue looked at each other and realized that there was really no way they could intervene in this matter.
Zhang Chengming scratched his head, feeling torn between Wu Lili and Old Lady Zhang.
"Mom, Lili, please stop talking."
"Cheng Ming, bring your wife back to the house."
He pulled Zhang Lili into the house, so as not to embarrass himself at the door.
Seeing her crying like this, Sun Jiaxue said, "Auntie, it's not a good thing for Lili to cry like this."
"It's nothing. I just feel bad sometimes since I'm pregnant. It's nothing."
Li Mingqing pulled Sun Jiaxue away who was about to continue talking.
"Brother Mingqing, why don't you think the Zhang family let Lili go back?"
"Anyway, no one likes the daughter-in-law they marry to go back to her parents' home all day long. They're probably afraid that after a while, her things will be taken away."
"But Lili is not that kind of person."
"Mrs. Zhang is just afraid that if she goes back too often, she'll end up like this."
Sun Jiaxue sighed, "Alas, there is no shadow."
"Anyway, there's no such thing in our family. My sisters-in-law all know it."
The two strolled for a while before heading home.
On the way, we met an old woman and an old man who were cursing at each other.
"Wife, who is this?"
"I haven't seen him. Maybe he was just passing by."
Then the two of them heard the old woman cursing.
"This child is stupid. She would rather be a widow than go home."
"Tell me, aren't we all doing this for her own good? Our new son-in-law is so reasonable and his family is rich. It would be great if she could marry him and live a happy life."
"I think Zhenzhu was fooled by the Zheng family."
"You're right. Old Mrs. Zheng looked so ferocious, as if she wanted to eat us."
"Our daughter has been obedient since she was young. It's all because of those two old fools that she has become like this now."
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue instantly knew who the two old men were.
Sun Jiaxue suddenly understood. No wonder it looked familiar.
The relatives of the old Zheng family.
The two of them just wanted to sell their daughter, and they came to Liu Zhenzhu again and again for a dowry of 200 yuan.
What a coincidence, Uncle Zheng and Old Lady Zheng just came back from the mountain.
The situation became tense in an instant.
Old Lady Zheng scolded, "How come you guys, at your age, don't understand what's good or bad? You're like dog-skin plasters, coming here every few days."
"We are going to our daughter's house. Why don't you let us come?"
"How shameless! Everyone knows what you're doing here. We've never seen parents like you."
Old Lady Liu scolded him no less fiercely, "My daughter married into your family but didn't enjoy any happiness and ended up being a widow at such a young age. Are you going to let her live like this for the rest of her life?"
"Of course not. When the child grows up, we will find a good family for him."
"Bah! You're just worried that after Zhenzhu leaves, your grandson will be left alone to look after him. You're so cruel! You've made my daughter work like a slave in your house."
She said this without thinking, but everyone in the village knew the truth.
The old couple of the Zheng family are really good to Liu Zhenzhu. They have never let her suffer since she got married.
Only when one drinks the water can one know whether it is hot or cold.
Liu Zhenzhu lives much more smoothly in the Zheng family than before she got married, and she will not marry someone else.
The child is so young, she has no other thoughts and just wants to raise the child well.
Old Mrs. Zheng said, "You old hag, you're lying with your eyes open. Anyone with eyes can see what Pearl was like when she got married and what she is like now."
"I can't even look at my daughter anymore. How can this be justified?"
At this time, Liu Zhenzhu came over holding Zheng Jiefang.
She said earnestly, "Mom, why are you here again? I won't leave with you. I'm living very well here. Don't come here again."
"You ungrateful bastard! The first two times we were scolded by your mother-in-law, you didn't even help. The woman I found for you is from the city, she eats commercial grain, and she has two children at home. You should go if you love being a mother so much. As for this child, you can let the Zheng family raise him."
What you said is really not human language.
The villagers knew that Liu Zhenzhu's mother was not a good person, but they didn't expect her to be such a bad person.
Last time he brought a group of people to rob people, and he comes to cause trouble from time to time.
Even good people would be driven crazy by her.
Liu Zhenzhu said disappointedly: "How can you say such a thing? You are my biological mother. Why should I become someone else's stepmother when I have my own child?"
"I'm doing this for your own good. Now you have no idea where you'll get your next meal. We eat commercial grain and get paid on time every month."
"Mom, please go."
"You are such a stubborn kid, just wait for the hardship. Do you really think your mother is doing this for your betrothal money? I am doing this for your future life. You will have a hard time living as a widow at such a young age."
If she didn't know her mother well enough, she would believe that it was really for her own good.
But that's not the case.
The man who proposed marriage was in his forties, much older than her, and most importantly, he was paralyzed in bed and needed someone to take care of him.
His children then found someone to propose marriage to their father.
It’s more like finding a nanny than proposing a marriage.
She heard these truths from the people of Liujia Village.
Someone happened to know the address of said relative.
I went to see her after the old couple from the Liu family brought a group of people to the village and kidnapped her.
She knew that sending so many people to kidnap her was definitely not a simple marriage proposal. After all, how could anyone be so impatient to propose to her, a widow whose husband had just died?
