Deng watched as Su Jiaoniang walked into the kitchen and crushed the rice with a rolling pin.
The rice grains, which normally require a stone mill to grind, can now be easily crushed with a rolling pin.
If only she had that kind of strength.
Deng was very envious.
If she didn't have such abilities, would Su Li still have gone to find Miss Chen?
Why would Miss Chen so openly and boldly set her sights on Su Li?
...
She hated it so much.
She reached out and touched her belly. In the past, she would think of the child with anticipation, but now, there was a hint of resentment mixed in with that anticipation.
This child is not just hers.
It's still Su Li's.
She hated it!
With these emotions in her mind, will she be able to raise her child well?
She felt completely lost.
I have no ideas about the future!
Many people told her that all men are like that, and that she should do this or that, and should try to win a man's love.
After all, he only had his eye on a woman.
...
That's not how it works.
Ms. Deng was confused. She had stayed by his side when he was poor, and now that things were a little better, though far from wealthy, he immediately changed his mind.
Poverty-stricken couples face endless sorrows; at that time, she took care of the young and served the old.
The money Su Li earned from carrying manure and working as a night watchman was only enough to pay rent and buy some rice and grain.
If you want to improve your daily life or seek medical treatment, you'll have to find other ways.
She wasn't afraid of crying or getting tired; she even earned money to pay for her husband's medical treatment during her postpartum period.
That's how it turned out!
What exactly is a man?
Do they have a heart? Are they even human?
Madam Deng looked at Su Jiaoniang: "If your future man flaunted other women in front of you, what would you do?"
"Cut him off...then turn and leave. The human soul is noble. If you are heartless, then I will leave." Want to see her grovel and fawn over you? Sorry, you won't see that.
"Cut it off!" Mrs. Deng exclaimed in shock.
She resented the injustice of fate, her bad luck, and everything else.
However, this idea has never been considered before.
Staring at Su Jiaoniang, she fell into a daze.
Su Jiaoniang brought the rice porridge to Deng Shi's side: "Eat something first, don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes."
After Su Jiaoniang finished speaking, Deng Shi started crying again.
"Don't you think it's because I'm ugly, because I'm old, because I've only given birth to one child all these years, that I'm a sinner, and that this time I couldn't keep Su Li's heart, which is why all this has happened today?"
Su Jiaoniang gently patted Deng's back.
"What's wrong with you? Your worst flaw is your temper. You're not gentle or considerate enough. But nobody's perfect, and nobody can expect the victim to be perfect."
"Look, you've scared Xiao Bao." Su Jiaoniang tried to comfort Xiao Bao.
I coaxed my baby to sleep.
Looking at Madam Deng, he said, "Things have developed to this point. How do you plan to handle this? If you want to continue living with Su Li, I will help you get back at him. If you don't want to live with him anymore, I will help you start your own business, just like I am now. You raise the child and support the family on your own. If you want to date, find a good man. If you don't want to date anymore, earn money to support the child."
"I...I don't know!" Deng's mind was in turmoil.
She was obsessed with revenge.
She didn't want Su Li to have an easy time.
I'm also worried that Xiaobao won't have a good life with his stepmother.
What worries me even more is whether Su Li will really give Xiao Bao to her?
Su Jiaoniang was able to raise her child on her own because her husband was dead, but here, her husband is still alive...
or!
An idea flashed through Deng's mind.
Perhaps, her Su Li wasn't so clueless about feelings and ungrateful.
He's already dead! The Su Li we know now is some unknown thing; maybe we should just let him die.
That way, she wouldn't have to worry about the child living with a stepmother, nor would she have to worry about Su Li refusing to hand the child over to her.
Su Jiaoniang noticed Deng's change in mentality, which seemed to indicate a possibility of turning to the dark side. After thinking for a moment, she pulled Deng towards her own home and had someone move all the valuable and commonly used items out of the house.
The courtyard became empty.
"You can come to my place during this time. Once you've sobered up and are no longer caught up in this relationship, then you can decide what to do. Don't worry, although Su Li is my brother, there are some things we can't ignore just because he's my brother. After all, Xiao Bao is still my nephew. He disrupted the peace of the family and hurt Xiao Bao as well."
Su Jiaoniang glanced at Xiao Bao, who was being held and sleeping by the neighboring villager.
Children's world is mostly clean.
They want to be surrounded by love.
It wasn't an argument or fight.
Deng let out a sigh of relief. Her family members weren't on her side; in fact, they told her to take good care of Su Li and not to be ungrateful.
She thought she was a lost soul with nowhere to go.
Now it seems that this may not be the case.
She looked at Su Jiaoniang with eyes full of gratitude.
Su Jiaoniang settled the person in her own courtyard.
Tell Xie to keep an eye on Deng and not give her any chance to do something rash.
In relationships and marriages, it's hard to stay calm after a setback. What you need at that time is to calm down.
Don't let negative emotions affect you; try to figure out what you want.
What will happen in the future!
Suicide or jumping off a building due to a relationship are both manifestations of emotional instability.
If someone is with you.
Once you get through this difficult period, you'll find that the future is still bright.
Even in an era where men are typically superior to women, it is very difficult for women to survive. However, if a woman is strong, she will always find a place to stand, no matter how difficult it may be.
Su Jiaoniang handed Deng Shi over to Granny Xie and turned to walk towards Doctor Liu's house.
