On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, watch lanterns, cure diseases, and eat Yuanxiao.
Although the door of Zhao Mansion is closed, it is not alone.
The lanterns brought by Lin Mengya from outside gave them a new experience, and at the same time made them a little curious about the outside.
Is the outside world really as useless as the elders described it?
Under the trend of curiosity, bold people are ready to go outside to take a good look after spring, even if it is just a sneak peek, they will have bragging rights when they come back.
Even those who are timid can't help but yearn for the origin of those beautiful lanterns.
It would be great if it could be like this next year.
But not everyone is happy to see such a change.
"Bah! Aren't they just a few broken lanterns? It's worth taking them out to play. I really haven't seen anything great in the world!"
In Zhao Yongcai's house, Yongcai's mother was sitting on the fire bed, with a dark face and a mean mouth that almost said something about Lin Mengya without naming her.
"Where's Yongcai? You're not going to look for that family troublemaker again, are you?" Her eyes widened, her voice couldn't help but rise several times, and she even shouted harshly, "I told him already, it looks like Zhao Xiaodie
It’s not like he’s a blessed person! Even if he gave birth to a filthy little girl, now he’s seducing my son so much that he doesn’t even recognize me as his mother.”
"My life is so miserable! I was pregnant for ten months and worked hard to raise him, but now he has given up for a little bitch. What am I doing here? I might as well die!"
After the death of Xiao Die Niang, Yongcai Niang not only showed no regrets, but cried and wiped her tears all day long while seeking death and survival.
At first, Zhao Yongcai patiently tried to persuade his mother, but later he found that his mother was being unreasonable and couldn't explain anything, so he simply gave up and tried to persuade Xiaodie and his daughter to come back.
Anyway, after spring came, he made up his mind to take his children and go with his wife.
Although he can be filial to his parents, his wife fought tooth and nail to give him a precious daughter. He will never let his wife and child suffer any more injustice.
"Why are you howling? Shut your mouth. You are really messing up a good family. I told you not to mingle with your parents' family. I didn't know that Xiaodie's father was with
What are the dirty things about your sister?"
Yongcai's father knocked the pipe pot and made a clanging sound. Yongcai's mother was shocked when she opened her mouth. She didn't dare to reply for a long time.
"I don't know about him or them." She felt a little aggrieved.
But Yongcai's father was very clear-sighted. He pinned the cigarette stick to his waistband and warned Yongcai's mother with a stern face.
"It's a shame you didn't know. If you had dared to get involved, I would have sent you back to your parents' home!"
"Also, if Yongcai and his second aunt hadn't done that shameless thing, Xiaodie and her mother won’t let anyone kick them out.”
"Originally it was your family's fault, but now you have forced Xiaodie to death. If Xiaodie knows about this, see if she can recognize you as her mother-in-law in the future!"
As the head of the family, Yongcai's father can still control Yongcai's mother.
But he was frowning now. When he came back from outside, he learned the good news that his daughter-in-law had given birth to a granddaughter for him.
But before he could see the child being happy, he heard that this prodigal woman in his family had driven his mother-in-law to death.
Although he also wanted to have a grandson, he had never thought of letting Yongcai take a concubine.
He is just worried now about what will happen if his daughter-in-law never comes back.
Alas, it’s all the fault of this old woman who can’t carry her clearly!
"She doesn't want to recognize me, and I don't want to recognize her!" Yongcainiang was still unconvinced and muttered, accusing her daughter-in-law of her fault. "Don't I just want to have a grandson? If she's not angry, how can she not allow me to do so?
Looking for a better next life? You don’t know that since my second sister married Xiaodie’s father, she has given birth to two boys in succession! Lan Fang might be able to give birth to us just by following her mother.
There’s a new baby in the family!”
The more Yongcainiang talked, the more proud she became, but she didn't expect that Zhao Yongcai's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Xiaodie! Xiaodie! Don't leave!"
The two people in the room were shocked for a moment.
Outside the door, Zhao Yongcai tried his best to stop his daughter-in-law, who was holding his daughter, and was so anxious that he was sweating.
"Xiaodie, please listen to my explanation. My mother must not have known what Second Aunt and the others did before!"
Zhao Xiaodie's eyes were red, she bit her lip tightly and trembled all over.
"No wonder, when my mother and I were kicked out by my father, my father-in-law took us in. It turns out that that woman is your biological aunt!"
Zhao Xiaodie's heart was bleeding.
After she and her mother were kicked out, it didn't take long for her father to marry a new bride.
At that time, her mother almost drowned herself in the river. Fortunately, she was able to stabilize with the help of her father-in-law and his family.
But now she realizes that it wasn't her parents-in-law's good intentions at all, but their guilty conscience!
"I only found out about this later. Believe me, I really didn't know it before!" Zhao Yongcai didn't dare to catch her, so he could only block her with his body.
He regrets it now!
Why did he have to ask Xiaodie to come back with him to see his parents for no reason? Why did he have to let her know this now?
information?
Seeing Zhao Xiaodie so angry that tears fell down, he wished he could hit her to death, and his heart was broken.
"Daughter-in-law! Good wife! If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, can you just stop crying for the sake of me and my father?"
With that said, he was going to wipe Zhao Xiaodie's tears.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaodie bit his wrist severely...
She bit down so hard, as if she was letting out all her grief and anger.
If it had been before, she might have repaired the relationship with her parents-in-law for the sake of her children.
But now, she wishes she had never married Zhao Yongcai.
Her mouth was filled with the taste of blood before she let it go.
But when he looked at Zhao Yongcai, there was no love at all.
"Zhao Yongcai, I don't have to worry about things in the past with you. But from now on, we are completely cut off. From now on, it has nothing to do with you and me marrying men and women!"
She said and was about to leave.
Zhao Yongcai was so frightened by her words that his heart stopped and he opened his hands to block the door.
But this time, Zhao Xiaodie was cruel.
She held Yaya tightly in her arms and hit Zhao Yongcai's chest hard with her head.
Once, twice, the impact caused Zhao Yongcai's chest to feel tight and painful.
Zhao Yongcai was too frightened to stop him anymore. He was afraid that something might happen to his wife and daughter, so he quickly helped him and recognized him with a bitter look on his face.
"Okay, okay, I give in, I give in, that's not enough! Xiaodie, can you give me another chance? Please, I can't live without you and my daughter!"
When Zhao Xiaodie heard this, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.
But this was the only thing she couldn't forgive.
She cried and asked Zhao Yongcai, "Since you already knew about this, why didn't you tell me? Do you know how Xue Lanfang bullied my mother?"
"Just because she is your cousin and her mother is your aunt, so you have to hide it from me and my mother for them! You know clearly that the person who hurt my mother the most in the world is her mother. Just because
My mother and I are outsiders, so you help them bully me and my mother, Zhao Yongcai, you have no conscience!"
Every word his wife said was like a knife piercing Zhao Yongcai's heart.
But he couldn't argue.
When he first found out about this, he was already married to Xiaodie.
So he was afraid that after Xiaodie found out about this, she would get angry with him because of her aunt, or even leave him.
It was his mother who begged him in the first place, saying that if Xiaodie and her mother found out, they might get into trouble.
r>
It is better to do less than to do more. His mother repeatedly promised him that she would treat Xiaodie well and that she would not dislike his mother-in-law.
But now, everything is over!
"Yongcai, where is the person?"
When Yongcai's father came out, he saw his son standing at the door in despair, and his heart tightened.
He also didn't expect that Xiaodie would come back at this time and hear such fatal things again.
He had scolded the old woman severely in the house before, and was thinking of coaxing his daughter-in-law to go back. If that didn't work, he would ask Yongcainiang to admit her mistake.
Unexpectedly, the person disappeared.
"Dad, it's useless." Zhao Yongcai staggered back a few steps and slumped on the ground helplessly.
"Xiaodie knows it all, she will definitely not forgive me this time!"
What does despair mean? He felt it only now.
Yongcai's father frowned, "I know we didn't handle this properly, but your mother and I have nothing to do with the bad things your second aunt did. Otherwise, I'll go talk to her."
?I know that kid Xiaodie, he is the most reasonable person."
At this time, Yongcainiang also walked out of the house slowly.
It's just that her eyes dodge and she feels extremely guilty.
Zhao Yongcai glanced at his mother and said with a wry smile, "Dad, it's not that simple. Xiaodie said that Xue Lanfang bullied her and her mother a lot when she was at our house. Later, when her mother died, Xue Lanfang was also present.
"
Yongcai's father's heart sank, and he suddenly turned around and glared at his wife.
"What do you think you did? Originally, your family was sorry for Xiaodie's mother, but you brought Xue Lanfang to bully her!"
Yongcai's father was furious.
When he was young, he was tricked by the Yue family several times, so he disliked seeing the Xue family the most.
In the past, when Xue Lanfang came to Zhao's house, it was always when he was not around.
He originally thought that with such a relative, he would not be able to hold his head high in front of Xiao Die Niang, but who would have thought that the Zhao family woman actually did something even more stupid.
"I'm not doing this all for Yongcai's sake!" Yongcai Niang cried and complained to herself, "If Xiaodie Niang knows about that, how can our son hold his head high and be a good man!"
But at this moment, Zhao Yongcai didn't want to pay attention to his mother at all.
He looked at his mother with disappointment and finally recognized a fact that he had been unwilling to admit before.
"You are not doing it for me. You think that if Xiaodie and her mother-in-law know that it was the second aunt who did this, and that you helped cover it up when the second aunt had a tryst with Xiaodie's father. In the future, you will be responsible for their mother and daughter.
I can’t hold my head up in front of me, and I can’t take on the posture of your mother-in-law."
