Chapter 152 The Foolish Man Who Loved His Bad Father and Abandoned His Mother 19
They worry about going home too often, and they get anxious when they don't see anyone for a long time. They want to visit their in-laws, but they're afraid their mother-in-law will be irritated and dislike their daughter.
"Today is a great day for the Xu family. Why are you all so sad? You're bringing bad luck to others for no reason. Cheer up!"
The oldest grandmother livened up the atmosphere, and soon the tube-shaped building was filled with joy.
Ding Li forced a smile, but finally, too lazy to deal with it, she excused herself from feeling unwell and went back to her room to rest. Lying on the bed, tears flowed uncontrollably. How could she not feel heartbroken that the daughter she had loved for so many years was being beaten every day?
When Xu Qiang came home from work that night, he saw the half-dead man and was filled with anger. "Who are you pretending to be dead for? Otherwise, go and marry your daughter off."
"Xu Qiang, do you have a heart? She's your daughter. Not to mention how much dowry money you'd give her, you're not even willing to give her a little. Are you even a human being?"
Xu Qiang was annoyed by the tickling and pushed the crazy woman away. He didn't take a penny of the betrothal gift from the man. He raised her for so many years without any food or drink, and even sent his stepdaughter to school. What stepfather could do better than him?
Besides, wasn’t it the crazy woman who was afraid of death and voluntarily sent her own daughter away? It’s none of his business.
"Wow, Xu Qiang, are you still a man? You don't dare to deal with your daughter, but you only know how to bully me. Coward, I want to divorce you!"
"Okay, divorce if you want. Whoever doesn't divorce will be the grandson."
Xu Qiang touched his aching abdomen and was extremely angry. If it weren't for that damn woman, would he have been beaten by Zhu Gui today? That brute even picked the painful spots to hit him.
"Wow, why did I marry a loser like you?"
The three people in the living room could hear clearly the farce in the room.
"Sister, I will definitely be obedient in the future."
"Taotao, I was wrong. I will never cause trouble again."
Xu Tao ignored the old lady and patted the little fat boy on the shoulder, "Work hard and give more money when you work in the future."
Ding Li was just speaking out of anger that night. When she really got to the door, she started crying and begging not to go in. She was very well behaved for a while.
There was still one thing that the Xu family hadn't resolved. After dinner, Xu Tao strolled to the entrance of the east lane. When she saw Hu Meiwen, she immediately joined the gossip group.
"Zhang family, your uncle is still living at home, eating and waiting to die."
"Meiwen, why do you keep hearing the sounds of pigs being slaughtered in your house lately?"
"Did something happen to your husband? Why does he always cover his face when he goes out? Is he injured somewhere?"
Hu Meiwen came out to take a breath... She might as well rot at home. Why are so many people paying attention to her family? At least let her hear some other gossip first to find some balance.
"Hey, what are you doing? How can you be so careless as to pry into other people's family affairs? But Meiwen, everyone knows about your family affairs anyway, so why not just tell them directly so that people don't get the wrong idea?"
Hu Meiwen sighed. They say that family disgrace should not be made public, but everyone knew that she also wanted to spit.
That day, after the husband went out to find the person, he threw a tantrum at home, scaring the newborn baby to cry loudly. The daughters-in-law couldn't stand it and took their sons back to their parents' home.
She went back, but her parents were not home, her eldest sister-in-law was in charge and there were quite a few people in the family, so where was the place to stay? She stayed in the living room for two days, saying that there was no room to move around and there was no place to put her feet in the house.
After hearing so much, she couldn't pretend to be stupid and didn't understand, so she packed up her things and went back home in despair. When she arrived at the door, she ran into her sons and daughters-in-law. After asking them, she found that they all said the same thing.
Her husband was quite proud to see them back, and said that if he wanted to continue living in this house, he had to take good care of Zhang Chengcai. She was so angry that she scratched him a few times.
But the Zhang family was so cruel that if the sons dared to help their mother again, they would be driven out and not allowed to live in the Zhang family house. They had no choice but to compromise.
She had tried many methods these days but to no avail, and she was extremely worried. Seeing that the children had grown up, and the eldest grandson had begun to imitate his uncle's behavior, she was really afraid that if this continued, another Zhang Chengcai would appear and bring disaster to the family.
"Hey, Meiwen, this is really a difficult situation for you. That bastard is so full that his whole family won't be hungry. He's planning to rely on your family for the rest of his life."
"If you ask me, your family is foolish to support you. You should have repaid us with your great kindness over the past few decades. Now that food is scarce, how can we afford to support someone who eats for free?"
The lady in red clothes disagreed a little. What's wrong with brothers and sisters helping each other? Broken bones are still connected. Besides, it's natural for people to support their own younger brothers.
"You are too cold-blooded. Zhang Chengquan is a man of integrity and loyalty, always repaying kindness."
The other aunties were too lazy to agree. Cui Hong was no pushover either. She gave her own money to her younger brother, and when she had no money, she would take her family to her eldest brother and sister-in-law's house for dinner.
They don't care if others are unhappy. If they talk too much, they will bring up the incident when she went to help her sister-in-law give birth and call for help.
Her words implied that the other person was ungrateful. If she hadn't shouted at him, he would have died long ago. How could he be alive today with so many children and grandchildren?
"What do you mean? Am I wrong? Who among you doesn't have brothers and sisters? If you need help, don't flatter others and ask for help."
"Hehehe, we don't want to be as shameless as some people. They make a big fuss about something that costs only a little bit of spit and everyone knows about it. People need dignity and trees need bark, but some people are born shameless."
"Zhang Juan, who are you implying? Believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart."
The woman who was named stood up chua and slapped the hand in front of her. "Cui Hong, don't you know who I'm talking about? Why are you asking for trouble? I feel ashamed to be neighbors with someone like you."
"Bitch, I'll beat you to death."
A melee started as soon as it started. Xu Tao, who was just watching the show, was a little confused. Why did he get so angry while chatting?
The woman nearby stood up to try to stop the fight, but was elbowed in the arm. She immediately jumped up to join the fight, and then more and more people were affected, turning into a big melee.
However, the ladies knew what was going on in their minds clearly. They all surrounded one person and beat him up, just to vent their anger.
A woman passing by wanted to mediate, but when she saw the appearance of the people inside, she instantly curled up the corners of her mouth, spat on her hands twice, took off her shoes and joined the standing circle.
At the end, her hair was disheveled, her face flushed, but her eyes were filled with unprecedented joy.
After the show ended, everyone went home. Hu Meiwen hummed a little song and was in a much happier mood.
It turns out that happiness is built on the pain of others. It would be even more perfect if someone else came along to solve her urgent problem.
"Auntie, please wait a minute. I have something I want to discuss with you."
