Chapter 64 The War of Shi Laoer's Family
Although there weren't many people on the road as it wasn't the weekend, people still kept looking in their direction, and from time to time someone would whistle jokingly.
Being surrounded by so many people, Shi Xiaoai felt a little awkward. She tried to withdraw her hand: "Let go."
But the man held on tightly.
"Let go." Shi Xiaoai asked again.
Cheng Yang simply stuffed her hand into his cotton coat pocket along with his own, and said angrily, "What's wrong with me holding my own wife's hand? It's only natural! Who cares about them?"
The man led her like this, and the two of them walked into the alley together. When they were almost home, the man finally let go.
When Xiao Ai pulled her hand back, she angrily clenched her fist and hit Cheng Yang on the back, cursing, "Bad guy!"
Cheng Yang chuckled and did not refute.
Because of this incident, they returned home a little earlier than expected. After all, riding a bike or taking a bus is faster than walking.
After entering the yard, she found that no one was at home. Shi Xiaoai knew that Xiaofeng must have taken the child to the stall first.
She went into the house, took off her scarf and hat, washed her hands, and said to Cheng Yang, "You should take a rest. Don't go over there tonight. Business is not busy at night, and Xiaofeng and I are enough."
"How can that be? You must be exhausted after a busy day. I'll go to you tonight and you can rest at home."
Cheng Yang immediately became unwilling. He had just reconciled with his wife and he didn't want to make her unhappy again.
What if his wife thinks he is in poor health and dislikes him?
At this time, Xiao Ai really felt that he was not in good health.
After all, he was seriously injured before.
Although Cheng Yang appears to be very tough, he is not made of iron. What if he doesn't pay attention and has any sequelae in the future?
She was really too busy these days and had no choice but to ask Cheng Yang for help, but because of this, she was also very careful to find ways to make the meals at home better and provide him with more nutrition.
Now that he is busy, Shi Xiaoai doesn't want him to force himself to work anymore. He should rest more if he can.
The couple each had their own ideas, neither convincing the other. Seeing that they were about to lose their temper, someone outside shouted, "Cheng Yang! Cheng Yang! Director Yu asked you to go to the office. He said there was a long-distance call for you!"
Hearing that Cheng Yang had a long-distance trip, he naturally could not delay any longer. The couple stopped arguing and went about their own business.
While they were busy, the second brother's family was also not quiet. A war was breaking out!
After all, today is the third day, and it will soon be the last day that Shi Xiaoai mentioned.
"I have no money! Your father and I don't have a penny! You've spent all our money. We don't even have money to buy things when we move to the northwest. We are so old and we have to travel so far. Instead of showing some filial piety, you ask us for money! Shi Xiaomei, do you have a conscience?"
When Zhao Cuihong heard that Shi Xiaoai was going to ask their family for compensation, she immediately became anxious and jumped up on the spot!
Shi Daxi also agreed: "We don't have any either. I even lost my job. I don't know where to eat my next meal. I don't have any money to give her."
At this point, he glared at Shi Xiaomei angrily: "I told you to go and talk to her, but what did you say? Why are you making such a big fuss? She never asked for money before, but now, instead of helping to plead for her, she's asking for money! Shi Xiaomei, did you say something you shouldn't have said again and pissed her off?"
Shi Xiaomei raised her eyelids and looked at him, then said calmly with a wooden face, "I have learned our conversation word for word from you. I begged her so much, I almost knelt down before her. What else can I do?
It’s not that she didn’t plan to ask us for money, she just hasn’t had time to do it yet. After all, her daughter was just discharged from the hospital yesterday.”
It would have been fine if she hadn't asked to leave the hospital. As soon as she asked to leave the hospital, she poked Sun Yueying's ribs and she jumped out!
She pointed at Shi Xiaomei's nose and cursed, "How dare you talk like that? Who was the one who came up with the stupid idea to rob someone's house? And you even beat up someone's child? You're really capable. You even beat up a three or four-year-old child!"
Aren't you very capable and full of bad ideas? Why don't you want to confess now? Oh, you're starting to act like a coward after things went wrong?"
At this point, she turned her head and looked at her husband with anger, gritting her teeth and saying, "I've told you that your sister is dishonest. She just looks at me without saying anything, but she's full of bad ideas! You're a fool. How dare you believe what she said!
Don't you think about all the things she asked us to do? When we were pioneers, she asked us to call your grandma over, and now she wants us to pay for it! So all the bad luck is ours, and all the benefits are left to her? "
Sun Yueying became angrier and angrier as she pointed at Shi Xiaomei's nose and cursed, "Shi Xiaomei, I never realized you were so vicious before! You're a woman too, how did you come up with such a cruel trick? You even didn't let go of an orphan and a widow!"
Tsk tsk, what's the point of being pretty? No matter how pretty you are, you're still a black-hearted person! It's a good thing Director Li hasn't married you yet, otherwise if he married a slutty vixen like you, I don't think his little girl would survive in your hands! "
"Cough cough!" Seeing that her words were getting more and more outrageous, Shi Yunpeng finally couldn't stand it anymore and coughed heavily a few times.
He didn't say anything, but his coughs still irritated Sun Yueying.
She turned around and said to Shi Yunpeng bluntly, "You don't have to cough. I know I'm talking about your sweetheart. You can protect her, and when Xiao Ai asks for money, you two old men will pay for her!"
This was originally her fault, why should we clean up her mess? Don't tell me I don't have a penny, even if I did, I wouldn't give such a worthless sum of money! "
Then, she turned away and fiercely threatened Shi Daxi, "You are not allowed to give her a single cent! If you dare to give her even a penny, our life will be completely ruined!"
"I won't give it to you!" Shi Daxi immediately responded loudly.
After saying that, he looked at Sun Yueying and smiled flatteringly: "Wife, I don't have any money either. Isn't all my money with you?"
Sun Yueying snorted coldly, rolled her eyes and turned her head away.
Seeing his son's spineless appearance, Shi Yunpeng took a deep drag on his cigarette but didn't say anything. Even though he had just been scolded by his daughter-in-law so rudely, he didn't dare to say anything.
What else could he do? It was all for his son.
Shi Yunpeng actually didn't have much money left. The old woman was right. Most of their money was spent on their son.
Shi Daxi was the only son in his family. He had been spoiled since childhood. Now he is almost thirty years old. The greatest hardship he had experienced in his life was that he was forced to go to the countryside for three years when he was sixteen years old.
Later, they tried every possible way to get him a medical discharge and finally returned to the city. For this purpose, they also took his sister Shi Xiaomei's place and stayed in the countryside for several years.
But because I was retired due to illness, the neighborhood committee wouldn't assign me a job after I returned. They told me clearly—healthy people don't have jobs, so if you're not feeling well, just stay home and recuperate.
He raised him for several years until he took over his grandfather's business.
But even if they don't have a job, they still have to get married! They're still counting on their son to carry on the family line!
But since he had no class to attend and his family conditions were average, it was difficult for Shi Daxi to find a good girl. However, he happened to fall in love with Sun Yueying, the daughter of the captain of the driver's team.
Sun Yueying is beautiful and arrogant. If Shi Daxi had not inherited the good genes of the Shi family and was not handsome, she would definitely look down on him.
But it was no use even if she liked him. The Sun family would not let their daughter get married unless she could afford a generous betrothal gift.
Each of these items, each one of them, doesn’t cost money?
After a few years, even though they had their father's help, their savings were all gone.
People have no confidence when they have no money, so when faced with his daughter-in-law's constant provocations and threats of divorce from his family, Yunpeng had no choice but to endure it.
Who made his son so useless that he fell in love with that woman?
What's more, what if we really get divorced?
They also don't have the money to marry their son off.
Seeing that her parents were silent and her sister-in-law was clucking like a hen with her tail raised, Shi Xiaomei raised her head.
