Chapter 879: Chapter 882
Zheng Shi acted as if she heard nothing, continuing to mutter tirelessly in front of the Buddha statue.
If she had known there would be a day like today, she would never have committed such an unkind act in the first place.
But it was all her fault, why must the child bear the consequences?
Elsewhere, Xiao Lingshan insisted on visiting his parents upon learning about the situation at home.
Ever since he parted ways with the family, he saw them rarely, this time learning of the trouble through others. What use was he as a son?
Wei Shi, the wife of the oldest son of the Xiao Family, said irritably, "If you go to see them, don’t bother coming back, you can just live with your parents from now on!"
She had finally made Xiao Lingshan draw a clear line with that family, and now he’s eagerly heading back, rendering all her schemes useless!
In the end, Zheng Shi might talk of revenge, and her man would surely end up like the younger brother.
For the likes of that little wretch Xiao Biyu, it’s simply not worth it!
"I’m just going to see if there’s any way I can help, I promise I’ll come right back."
Xiao Lingshan raised three fingers, but in his heart, he wondered if his request was too much to ask.
Wei Shi unrelentingly said, "I don’t believe a word you say. Look at the living hell I’ve been through since marrying you. If you go, the child and I won’t survive!"
She didn’t want to walk two steps in the village only to be pointed at and gossiped about.
"They are my parents, what can I do? Shall I poison them to death?" Xiao Lingshan said irritably.
Being a man is truly difficult!
With the Xiao Family in its current state, he’d already had enough trouble, and here was his stubborn wife nagging incessantly.
This attitude only further infuriated Wei Shi, thinking how could such a grown man still not distinguish right from wrong?
"If you can’t bear to leave your parents, then go help them. Count out some silver and take it to them, then grab a machete and avenge your brother and sister at the Tan Family," she said.
"Look at the morality of your family members, not getting the man they wanted so they resort to unleashing snakes, nearly causing a death. The second brother still wants to avenge his sister by selling the child to bandits. Which of these actions are done by decent people? Hurry up and go, once you’re gone I can re-marry and take care of the child!"
Wei Shi stood with her hands on her hips, leaving no room for discussion.
She was now envious to death of her former sister-in-law who had remarried into a normal family and was living a comfortable life.
Not to mention being pointed at and whispered about, her husband was always thinking about others.
It might be better to follow her sister-in-law’s example and start afresh, free from this family with their abnormal minds.
"I won’t go, stop nagging," Xiao Lingshan said, sitting on the threshold and sulking.
His parents were in trouble, and he couldn’t offer a bit of help, he felt like killing himself!
Wei Shi actually felt pity, but what could she do?
She just hoped that her children could avoid ridicule and lead a stable life in the future.
"Head of the household, everyone in the village is watching your parents right now, it’s not appropriate for you to go. Let’s wait until the heat dies down, then we can go and see," Wei Shi couldn’t help but console him. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Xiao Lingshan ruffled his hair, "I know, leave me alone, I need to calm down."
Wei Shi sighed, resigned to silence.
Sigh, hoping everything could return to normal.
The minds of the Xiao Family were each filled with different thoughts, and each day was an agony for them, while Qiao Duo’er went about her business as usual, waking naturally every day and making breakfast as she pleased.
That day Qiao Duo’er and Almond were in the yard, preparing diapers for the baby, which required tearing the diapers into long strips of the right length and width.
The cloth was white fine fabric bought by Tan Zhenghong, soft in texture so as not to hurt the baby’s delicate skin.
