Chapter 178 Two Mothers Fight
"Fight with me, I'll kill you first, you old hag!"
Immediately afterwards, Jie's mother was pressed down on the hospital bed, and Li Xiu slapped her twice in extremely fast speed.
Hearing the sound of two slaps, Xie Chunlei shuddered all over, reacted instantly, and hurried over to stop it.
"Mom, stop hitting me, calm down, calm down!"
"Boy, you're going to stop taking sides just because she's your mother?"
Li Xiu was grabbed by one of Xie Chunlei's hands. While warning her, he used his other hand to pinch Xie's mother's chest hard.
"Ouch! It hurts so much!" Jie's mother grimaced in pain, and her limbs attacked indiscriminately and madly.
Li Xiu was kicked once, and Xie Chunlei was kicked three or four times. Even in this situation, he didn't dare to say a word after being kicked, and he gritted his teeth and held on.
Li Xiu didn't have so many scruples. She hated the old woman so much that she broke free from Chun Lei's grip and rushed forward to slap her a few times without mercy.
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, you old witch! You're doing this to the heavens and the earth, and you're killing my grandson. You deserve to die!"
"Ah, Chunlei, quickly drag your damn mother-in-law away. You are such an unfilial son, letting her beat your mother like that. Ouch! It hurts so much!"
Xie Chunlei directly grabbed Li Xiu, who was riding on Xie's mother, and hugged her away from the waist.
Li Xiu was grabbed from behind and lifted off the ground, and his feet did not forget to kick Jie's mother twice.
As soon as Jie's mother was relieved, she ignored the pain in her body and face, got up from the hospital bed and rushed towards Li Xiu, grabbing her hair and pinching her hard with one hand.
Seeing this, Xie Chunlei turned around and used his back to block Xie's mother's attack. However, how could Xie's mother, who was filled with hatred, be blocked by his back? She nimbly slipped past him from behind and attacked Li Xiu without caring about anything.
Li Xiu's body was restrained by Jie Chunlei, which directly affected her performance. She was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
"Jie Chunlei, are you and your son trying to kill me by cooperating with each other like this? Let go immediately!"
Xie Chunlei couldn't bear such a reputation, so he had no choice but to let Li Xiu go and stop Xie's mother...
By the time the medical worker came to help separate the two fighters, Xie Chunlei had a lot of bruises on his body. He was not only physically exhausted but also mentally exhausted.
In order to prevent the two mothers from quarreling again, he sent Jie's mother away and asked her to go home first.
Li Xiu sat on the stool and rested for a while. Seeing that Lin Mei had not woken up yet, she left the ward and found the attending doctor. She was relieved to learn that Lin Mei's miscarriage would not affect her future fertility.
She returned to the ward again and saw Jie Chunlei with a bruise on the corner of his mouth sitting beside the bed, staring at Lin Mei intently, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Chun Lei, what do you think about this incident?"
Xie Chunlei gritted his teeth when he heard the question, "Mom, when Mei Zi gets better, we still have a chance to have a child."
Li Xiu waved her hand, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that this incident was so serious, how can you two still live in peace with your mother, live under the same roof, and eat from the same pot?"
Xie Chunlei was stunned. He had never thought about this question before. "My mother and Mei Zi usually get along well..."
Li Xiu sneered and interrupted him, "Before we got along well, it doesn't mean we will get along well in the future. Don't forget, your mother indirectly killed your first child!
If it weren't for her mischief, this child would have been born alive in four or five months, and would call you dad and Meizi mom next year.
Do you think that with such hatred between them, they can still get along well with each other?"
"..." Xie Chunlei was speechless. It was impossible for him to say in his heart that he did not blame his mother.
There is some resentment.
Li Xiu sighed and said earnestly, "My dear son-in-law, I didn't mean to sow discord between you and your mother. Men, after getting married and having a family, sometimes have to think about their own family. Otherwise, how can we say that men are the pillars of the family?"
"From the day you got married, you are Mei Zi's sky and her backbone. Only if you help her support this family, she can be at ease to bear children for you and take care of your husband and children. It is your responsibility to protect this small family."
"Your mother is such a cruel mother-in-law that she wants a five-month pregnant daughter-in-law to plant rice. Only a mean mother-in-law like her can do such a thing.
You have also done farm work, so you must know that the ridges of the plowed fields are all muddy and watery. A normal person would have to be careful not to slip when walking on them, let alone a pregnant woman who is pregnant with five children.
Your mother has been pregnant before, so it's impossible for her not to know the dangers involved. But she turned a blind eye and insisted on dragging Mei Zi to plant rice. To put it bluntly, isn't it because she can't bear to see Mei Zi sitting at home without working? "
"Mom, I understand what you said, but I'm the eldest." Xie Chunlei lowered his head, "I have younger brothers and sisters to take care of."
"Raising your brothers and sisters is not your responsibility, that is your parents' responsibility."
A weak voice sounded in their ears, and Li Xiu and Jie Chunlei looked at the bed in surprise.
"you're awake."
"My nan is awake."
Lin Mei looked at Jie Chunlei and said, "If your mother hadn't dragged me to the fields to plant rice this time, nothing would have happened to me, and our child wouldn't have left us."
Xie Chunlei comforted him: "This is just an accident..."
"Accident?" Lin Mei looked at Jie Chunlei in disbelief, as if she didn't expect that at this time, he was still defending his mother.
She suppressed the grief in her heart and asked softly, "Brother Chunlei, do you know how painful it is to have your flesh and bones slowly peeled off from my body?"
Li Xiu thought of the suffering her daughter had endured, and tears of heartache fell straight down her cheeks. "Meizi, maybe you and this child are not destined to be together yet. You are still young, and you will have children in the future. Think positively."
"Brother Chunlei, no matter what you think in your heart, this matter is not so easy to get over. Either we separate and live our own lives, or I will go back to my parents' home." As soon as the words fell, Lin Mei burst into tears.
Li Xiu looked at Lin Mei's pale and chapped lips and wanted to find a cup to help her pour some warm water. However, after searching for a long time, she found nothing except a few clothes and towels.
"I support you to separate. If my son-in-law disagrees, I will take Mei Zi back home to live with me." Li Xiu pointed at the bag she brought up, "Look at what your mother did. She only searched for a few clothes and towels when she found me in the hospital. She didn't even find any underwear or cups or bowls."
Xie Chunlei rubbed his brows and said, "I'll go to our supply and marketing cooperative and buy a set later."
"You have to buy everything. Which family lives like this? You can tell from what you do that you don't really care about. Your mother has never really treated you sincerely, otherwise this wouldn't have happened."
Li Xiu spoke in a very aggressive tone and tried to sow discord all the time.
"I'll go buy a cup and a washbasin first." Xie Chunlei said this and walked out.
His evasive attitude directly annoyed Li Xiu, "Look at his attitude. I think you should take this opportunity to separate the family. If this family is not divided, you should not go back."
"If I don't go back and live in my mother's house, can you bear the gossips from the villagers?" Lin Mei asked back.
"You don't care what others say. No one doesn't talk about others behind their backs, and no one is not talked about behind their backs. We can't control their mouths. As long as they don't say it to our face, we will just pretend we don't know."
Although Li Xiu said this, she pondered in her heart. After a while, she asked, "You go back to your parents' home to recuperate first. I will use this time to contact Lin Shu. After you finish recuperating, if the Xie family still refuses to split up, you can take a bus to the provincial capital to relax and let Xie Chunlei worry."
Lin Mei's mouth twitched after hearing this, "Lin Shu knows about my pregnancy. If I go to her after having a miscarriage, I'm just waiting for her to laugh at me. I won't go!"
In fact, Lin Mei didn't want to go. The fear of being laughed at by Lin Shu was just an excuse. The main reason was that Lin Shu lived with his parents-in-law and brother and sister-in-law. It would be inconvenient for her to go as a visitor when the whole family lived together.
Li Xiu was so disappointed that she poked her forehead and said, "Why are you so stupid? I told you to go and relax, but you didn't go. How many of us country folks have the opportunity to visit relatives in the provincial capital? Don't be so ungrateful!"
At this time, Lin Shu in the provincial capital did not know that Li Xiu was plotting against her.
She just caught Gu Youhui and asked him if the hotel was still short of female workers.
"Aunt, you asked me if I was short of people. What should I say?" Gu Youhui noticed that there was no one else on the first floor except the nanny who was cooking in the kitchen. He lowered his voice and said, "We are short of people, but we are not short of people either."
Lin Shu's mouth twitched, "Speak properly."
Gu Youhui threw the handbag in his hand on the sofa and lay down on it. "Okay, what I mean is that if you want to arrange for someone to work in the hotel, you can arrange one or two people. If there are people, the others will be more relaxed. If there are no people, the others will share more. Anyway, the hotel can operate normally."
Lin Shu peeled an orange and handed it to him: "If I introduce someone to your restaurant, wouldn't that increase your burden?"
"It's okay. The restaurant has been doing good business recently. If there is anyone suitable, please introduce them to me." Gu Youhui stood up straight and leaned on the table, and asked with a gossipy look on his face: "Aunt, I'm curious. You just came to the provincial capital not long ago. What kind of friends want to find a job through you?"
Lin Shu: "An educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the production team once worked in our village. Now he has returned to the city and has not found a job."
"Oh, I see. So, she is from the same village as you." Gu Youhui nodded and agreed readily. "Okay, tell her to come to the hotel to sign up anytime."
"Then let me thank Mr. Gu on her behalf."
Gu Youhui covered his face and said, "Aunt, please don't embarrass me. I don't deserve the title of Mr. Gu with only two stores. When I have ten stores, I will accept your name and I won't feel guilty about it. Don't you think so?"
"Haha, I've been waiting for that day." Seeing that his ears were really red, Lin Shu was overjoyed.
"Hey, little aunt, the dumplings and pies stuffed with gardenias that you made last time were really delicious. What do you think about me asking the restaurant to prepare some gardenia-themed delicacies while the gardenias on the mountain are in full bloom these days?"
"Your idea is good, I have no objection."
Gu Youhui received Lin Shu's affirmation and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. Only then did he remember that there seemed to be someone missing from his family. "Where is my uncle today?"
"He went to the company. Chen Fei brought back a lot of electronic products from Guangdong Province this time. He went to take a look at the situation."
"Hey, electronic products, those are hot-selling items. They can be sold anywhere. I found that those people who hang out with my uncle have quite a lot of connections." Gu Youhui was envious. He was thinking about waiting for his uncle to come back in the evening so that he could also go to his place to polish some electronic products and set up a stall.
Lin Shu chuckled. They were all second-generation rich kids, and their families had many connections.
Gu Youhui was just about to ask what electronic products were available when he heard women laughing from the door.
Looking towards the door, not long after, two women came in.
One is Jiang Chaohong, and the other is a tall woman wearing a gray windbreaker, high-heeled leather shoes, with bright eyes and a full smile, and long hair draped over her shoulders. The first impression she gives is that she is bright and generous.
"Let me introduce you to this girl from our compound, the Zhou family. Her name is Xinyue."
Jiang Chaohong then introduced Lin Shu to her: "She is my ninth brother's wife, her name is Lin Shu, and she is a girl from the countryside of our Gu family's hometown."
Lin Shu pretended not to hear Jiang Chaohong deliberately emphasizing that she was from the countryside, and looked at Zhou Xinyue opposite her calmly. She was not pretty, but she had a heroic air.
But when she spoke, her voice was very soft, a very contradictory woman.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Xinyue. I grew up in the compound. I never thought that Brother Nine would choose you to be his wife."
Gu Youhui stood behind, thinking to himself that something bad was going to happen, and his worried eyes fell on Lin Shu's stomach.
Lin Shu raised his eyebrows calmly, "Oh my! This person is not friendly!"
Glancing at Jiang Chaohong who was standing beside him and secretly gloating, Lin Shu stood up, stroking her huge belly, and smiled slightly:
"Not only did you not expect it, but I myself did not expect that he would choose me as his wife."
Zhou Xinyue didn't expect Lin Shu to continue talking along with her words.
As she looked at him in astonishment, Lin Shu said, "After all, not everyone in the world has a unique vision. He has eyes that can discover beauty. Otherwise, he wouldn't have found such an excellent wife like me."
Gu Youhui breathed a sigh of relief and interrupted with a smile: "Aunt is right, my uncle has good vision and found such a good wife like you. He must have been very lucky in his previous life."
Zhou Xinyue put away her initial stunned expression and sneered, "You are really shameless."
"Same here!" Lin Shu sat back on the sofa.
Zhou Xinyue choked, she finally met her match today.
Gu Youhui was sitting on pins and needles. He saw Jiang Chaohong standing aside and watching the show, and hurriedly said, "Aunt San, you brought your friends home as guests. Why are you standing there? Why don't you go and pour the guests a glass of water?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chaohong quickly restrained the expression on his face and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, why don't you pour it yourself, and actually tell the elders to do the work."
Having said that, she still put down her bag and went to help pour water.
Zhou Xinyue lost the first game. After sitting down, she secretly looked at Lin Shu. Lin Shu had a flamboyant appearance, like a vixen. No wonder she had made Brother Nine so obsessed with her.
Lin Shu didn’t know what the other person was thinking, otherwise she would have laughed so hard that the baby in her belly would have been born prematurely.
How many men in the world can be obsessed with women?
I'm afraid it's because I've watched too many romance dramas.
In this weird atmosphere, Gu Youhui saw someone coming in from outside the yard, jumped up happily, and shouted outside: "Uncle, you're back!"
He trotted out and took the bicycle from Gu Jiu, "Uncle, please come into the house quickly. I'll help you park the bicycle."
Gu Jiu was completely confused by his action. He was wondering why this boy was so enthusiastic today. He walked into the house carrying his bag, looking back every few steps.
When he saw the woman sitting on the sofa, the expression on his face softened instantly.
