"I estimate our family doesn’t have that much money."
"I don’t care, if we don’t have enough money, isn’t there sothing else?
If they don’t give it, just arrest them. At that ti, I’d rather fight with them every day than let them have it easy. Besides, from now on, they won’t get a cent from our wages. When they grow old, I’m not taking care of them. If I starve, it’s none of my business. I’ve had enough over the years."
"That wouldn’t be good for our kids either."
"Then I’ll leave empty-handed. At the very least, this year’s workload and food belong to us. I want to see if without our earnings, your dad can support them."
Li Changjiang lowered his head and said nothing.
Yu Guiying looked at her husband with growing anger, "I’m telling you, Li Changjiang, if you dare not listen to even a bit, I’ll take the three children and leave. Without you, Li Changjiang, I’m not buying that I can’t feed myself or take care of the kids."
"Guiying, I didn’t an that."
"Li Changjiang. Do you believe it? Your parents will certainly say let’s divorce and find you soone better,
but think about it, given the situation of your family, who would marry in? Forget about you being a second marriage guy, what kind of good family would want those two beasts?
Who would want to follow you, a fool, and be a slave to others?"
"Wife, I absolutely won’t divorce you."
"Even if you don’t want it, you must. You’re willing to work for them and raise a pack of ungrateful wolves, but I am not."
"Wife, I won’t do that, I’ll listen to everything you say."
"Li Changjiang, I’m telling you, if you dare make any moves, or agree to sothing behind my back, I’ll definitely not be with you. I’m not just trying to scare you."
Li Changjiang knows that he is now disappointed with his parents too. But they are still his parents, after all.
Yu Guiying angrily lay down, not wanting to deal with this man anymore. Back then, she knew he was capable, obedient, and filial, so she agreed, although the eldest sister-in-law disagreed.
Thinking of that, Yu Guiying burst into tears.
That old witch didn’t give her a gift to return ho for years, so she hasn’t gone back.
Here, if relatives don’t visit for two years, it’s considered cut off. How has she managed without her natal family?
It’s all because of this useless man, always persuading her, she was foolish back then, how could she listen?
It’s because she’s stupid, powerless, cowardly, reaching this point?
Thinking of that, Yu Guiying sat up and started hitting Li Changjiang, who was sitting beside her, "I must have been blind to be with such a coward like you.
I have cut ties with my natal family, all because of you. What did you say back then? When you’re doing better, you’ll send more to my mom.
It’s not that I look down on you, Li Changjiang, but damn it, you’ll always be a coward in this life. You’ll have money? You drag to be a servant for your family, but for my family, you only talk empty words.
How could I, Yu Guiying, be so stupid?"
"What nonsense are you talking?"
At this ti, a woman and an old lady ca in, interrupting Yu Guiying.
Hearing the conversation, Yu Guiying burst into tears, sliding directly to the floor without wearing shoes, "Mom, sister-in-law, don’t abandon ."
The mother and sister-in-law of the Yu family who ca in also shed tears.
Li Changjiang stood awkwardly to the side, dryly calling "Mom, sister-in-law."
Nobody paid him any attention. Yu family’s eldest sister-in-law helped her sister-in-law up. Looking at her pale face, she slapped her on the back in frustration, crying, "You useless thing."
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I’m bullied to death."
"Useless thing, only knows how to cry, what good is crying? Such a big problem, you won’t tell the family? Have you forgotten you’re a daughter of the Yu family?" The sister-in-law and sister hugged each other and cried.
Li Changjiang ca to help the old lady sit down."Mom, it’s my fault."
"Changjiang, don’t say more, if you continue like this, I will take my daughter back."
"Mom, mom, I will absolutely not do it in the future. From now on, everything will revolve around them."
"Changjiang, my good daughter married you, we didn’t expect anything from your Li family, but don’t treat her this way. This is your wife, your partner for life. Do you just watch her get bullied?"
"Mom, it’s my fault, I’m cowardly, but I will not be like this anymore."
"Li Changjiang, are you a man or not? If you had any backbone, you wouldn’t let your wife and children suffer with you." Yu family’s eldest sister-in-law was fierce and known throughout the village, but she was reasonable, respectful to her elders, and had a good reputation.
"Sister-in-law, I made a mistake; I won’t do it again."
"Li Changjiang, I’m telling you, without you, my sister-in-law would be better off."
"Sister-in-law, you’ll see my behavior, I will not do it anymore." Li Changjiang was very afraid of this grand aunt, who was a formidable figure in the region.
"Stop talking nonsense, if I hear my little sister’s grievances soday, I’ll smash your Li family, and take my sister ho. Even without you, there are others with red or green clothes. Any man would be better than you."
Yu Guiying was still crying at the side," Enough, don’t cry, what did you do earlier? You make so angry, how did our Yu family have soone like you?"
"Sister-in-law, did you have dinner?" Li Changjiang quickly changed the subject.
"Yes, mom, both of you, quickly drink so water, there are sugar buns here. White flour ones."
"Li Changjiang does have this point, knowing to provide for my sister."
Yu Guiying glared at her husband, "These were given by the village teacher, your nephews and nieces are raised by them."
Li Changjiang hurriedly poured water and handed stead buns to his mother-in-law and grand aunt.
"Don’t bother with stead buns; we brought our own dry food. Save the good stuff for my daughter, she has a big hole in her head that needs good care."
"Mom."
Yu’s mother glared at her useless daughter.
The mother and daughter pulled out three eggs, "They’re cooked, quickly eat them. Don’t let your body suffer."
The two of them ate radish pickles with two mixed flour pancakes while drinking water.
They had left ho at four in the morning, walked all the way, and arrived at the clinic around three in the afternoon.
The old lady was exhausted, so Yu family’s eldest sister-in-law found a basin, fetched hot water, and soaked her mother’s feet.
"Mom, lie down and rest."
"I’m fine, as long as you’re okay, I’m relieved. You troubleso girl."
"Mom, I’ll be discharged tomorrow, the police at the station didn’t accompany us, arrest that old witch."
"How does that benefit you?" Yu family’s eldest sister-in-law rolled her eyes, disapproving of this sister, wondering why she was so silly, so naive?
