Chapter 395: Chapter 395: I Can’t Face the Big Brother Anymore.
In fact, when Si Boyi said this to comfort Tong Yao, he was very uncertain in his heart. n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
He knew Lin Fengying’s temperament quite well. She never made empty talks. Since she expressed this idea, it showed she was truly considering it.
Why in the world would his mom cause such incidents when his brother and sister-in-law were fine?
Si Boyi no longer had the mood to care about his father’s cause of death. After all, the man had been dead for many years, and living people were the most important. His older brother wasn’t at home, and he, being the man on-site who could support Tong Yao, had failed to do so. He felt so shameful that he didn’t even dare to meet his older brother in the evening.
Tong Yao took a deep breath and sighed out a stale breath, "It’s alright. You don’t have to take the blame for yourself. It’s not your fault. She had objections about me not having children from the very beginning. If I couldn’t get pregnant one day, she couldn’t be at ease one day. It’s just a matter of time before she plans to get me divorced from Ahchen."
Especially now that she has discovered Lin Fengying’s scandal, Lin Fengying might even want her dead. Coupled with Si Xiaohui’s exacerbation from the side, it would be strange if Lin Fengying liked her.
When she had just married to the Lin Family, the Lin Family was still in a poor condition. Lin Fengying, gentle in nature with a lack of confidence, didn’t have Si Weimin as her backing, so naturally there was not too much trouble. Now that the family is in a good condition, Lin Fengying thinks her son is capable and starts to have more ideas.
To put it bluntly, this is the flustering of a low-grade brat—the moment life got better, she lost her head.
"Sister-in-law, you must not think about divorcing my brother. My brother treats you well. Our mom doesn’t live with you, and she can do whatever she wants. As long as you two spouses unite, there’s no need to care what our mom thinks." While switching between breastfeeding the child, Zhang Lijuan never forgot to persuade Tong Yao.
She wasn’t stupid enough to not understand that, with Tong Yao being there, mother-in-law hardly thought about her. If there was no Tong Yao, mother-in-law would no doubt target her, and start to badger her, a junior wife.
On top of that, Tong Yao opened the milk tea shop, was business-savvy, and was nice to her couple, being generous and not hesitating to spend money when needed, or cause disturbances.
She got quite a considerable amount of money when she gave birth to her baby, and was expecting to get more from Tong Yao when she has her second, third child later on.
If Si Chen remarries, things might not be so pleasant.
"Rest assured! There’s no way your brother and I are getting divorced that easily." There were always annoying things at anyone’s home. Though she disliked Lin Fengying’s actions, Tong Yao didn’t consider divorcing Si Chen just because of what Lin Fengying said.
Looking at the time, it was almost noon. Considering that Si Boyi’s couple didn’t have a filling meal in the morning and Zhang Lijuan had to breastfeed the child which required nutritious food, Tong Yao then said.
"You guys just rest. I’ll go to the Vegetable Market to buy some vegetables and cook some food."
Si Boyi was a little worried, "Sister-in-law, let me go with you!"
Zhang Lijuan instinctively asked: "What for? Why do you need to go with sister-in-law when she goes shopping?" He never accompanied her when she went to buy groceries!
Although she knew in her heart that Si Boyi wasn’t that kind of man, and Tong Yao wasn’t interested in her man, Zhang Lijuan still felt a little jealous due to Tong Yao’s good looks and Si Boyi’s special concern for Tong Yao.
Tong Yao naturally noticed Zhang Lijuan’s considerations. She didn’t plan to bring Si Boyi anyway, "Stay at home to help Lijuan take care of Yuanyuan! The Vegetable Market isn’t that far, and I can go alone." Saying so, she took the grocery baskets and went out.
Only the couple was left in the house. Si Boyi then quickly took over the child and held it for a while. God knows, hearing that his child was being held hostage in Kyoto made him extremely worried. But being a man, he couldn’t panick, otherwise Lijuan would be even more worried.
"Put the baby on the bed. I’ll change his diapers." Zhang Lijuan took some diapers from the bedside and skillfully began to change them. Thinking of Lin Fengying’s words, she worriedly said: "Do you think our mom really wants brother and sister-in-law to divorce?"
"Maybe it was said in a fit of anger?" Si Boyi was also unable to fathom Lin Fengying’s intentions.
Zhang Lijuan complained: "Why is she getting more confused as she grows older? Our domestic life is finally becoming better and better, can’t she just live at ease in the countryside? She has to go around creating unhappiness out of nothing. Thankfully, Yuanyuan was unharmed. I observed that sister-in-law was also not so happy. When big brother comes back from work, they might have a quarrel."
If she were Tong Yao, she would definitely quarrel with her husband in the evening.
Although Tong Yao hasn’t had a child yet, she can make money!
Si Chen is also a doctor, so they both are not in a hurry, and there’s no need for Lin Fengying to worry needlessly.
Moreover, it’s good for Tong Yao not to have a child now. Yuanyuan is the eldest grandson of the family, he can get more love.
In case if Tong Yao really can’t conceive, she could have another baby and give it to Tong Yao for adoption, then all the things that Tong Yao strives for in the future, wouldn’t they be hers?
Of course, Zhang Lijuan wouldn’t dare to say so in front of Si Boyi. Otherwise, her husband would definitely be furious. There’s nothing bad about her husband other than the fact that he respects and listens to his brother and sister-in-law too much. Thankfully, his brother and sister-in-law do not interfere in their couple’s matters.
"I also don’t understand what our mom is thinking about." Si Boyi said dejectedly, "Let’s see when big brother comes home tonight!"
Zhang Lijuan, never able to hold her tongue, asked, "Do you think our mom is interested in uncle, and wants to be together with him?"
As soon as Si Boyi heard, he bristled and glared at her, "Don’t talk nonsense."
Knowing that they were at her brother-in-law’s, and Si Boyi wouldn’t actually fight with her, Zhang Lijuan, cheekily muttered, "Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, I don’t believe that you do not have a clue in your own heart. Our mom is fine, but she had to come to Kyoto to take care of uncle, haven’t you found it strange? She usually cares so much about others’ opinion. But now, she seems to be indifferent."
If she were not afraid that her husband would explode, Zhang Lijuan would expose the fact that Si Xiaohui and uncle look alike.
Her mother would always say that mother-in-law and uncle had an affair when they were young. While she heard it so frequently and also felt there was something tangible to it, she still held doubts. She thought that her mother-in-law looked quite dignified and not at all like a loose woman.
Unexpectedly, whereas her mother-in-law appeared dignified, in fact she could do anything.
Although she did not express it verbally, her impression of mother-in-law indeed changed, and she somewhat despised the things that mother-in-law did, let alone the fact that her father-in-law might have died out of anger after discovering these filthy things.
Listening to his wife’s words, Si Boyi didn’t retort this time, but his face didn’t look so good.
To tell the truth, when he saw uncle and Xiaohui look so similar, he also had a shiver of fear. But he was always unwilling to believe that his own mother was that kind of person.
If such disgraceful things happened to their family, how could they have the face to return to their village?
He was scolded and pointed at when he was a child. He couldn’t let his own children grow up in such an environment.
The more he thought about it, the more irritable he felt in his heart. But no matter how, he couldn’t help but think about it, always feeling that his older brother might know something. But he was afraid to ask because once the matter was exposed, this family was almost over.
Not to mention that he would not know how to face his mother, his mother didn’t know how to face them either.
