Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Did your mother die?
Deng Wenwen was so shocked by the news that she didn’t dare to utter a word and could only stand by pulling Si Xiaohui aside to prevent her from fighting with Tong Yao.
"Your mother is dead?" Tong Yao frowned. If Lin Fengying hadn’t consumed poison, she would have slapped Si Xiaohui right now.
Hearing this, Si Xiaohui jumped up, fuming, and was about to fight with Tong Yao, "Your mother is the one who is dead!"
She knew Tong Yao meant no good. She even started by cursing her mother.
Tong Yao let out a sigh of relief, judging from the reaction, Lin Fengying should be fine, "What exactly happened? You just said that Ahchen went to see your mother this morning?"
She used to call Lin Fengying ’mother’, but now she found it disgusting to even mention Lin Fengying’s name. She could barely manage to call her mother-in-law.
"Stop pretending! You’re the one who incited my brother to sever ties with my mother, now what are you pretending not to know?" Si Xiaohui glared at Tong Yao, wishing she could rush up to scratch her deceiving face. This face had bewitched her big brother.
Did Si Chen get up early this morning to see Lin Fengying?
Tong Yao frowned, "Which hospital is your mother in?"
"What’s it to you which hospital my mother is in? I can tell you that my mother doesn’t want to see you at all." Si Xiaohui cooled down a bit, pushed away Deng Wenwen who was holding her, and pointed to Tong Yao, "You are a harm demon, my family doesn’t want a daughter-in-law like you at all. If you have any shame left, leave our Si family and stop pestering my big brother."
"Si Xiaohui, I didn’t take it to heart because your mother drank rat poison. Don’t you dare keep your insolent talk up, or I’ll immediately find something to pry out your front teeth to hang on a dog’s collar."
She was thinking about Lin Fengying just now, so she didn’t take Si Xiaohui’s words to heart. But Si Xiaohui got carried away and thought she could be bullied.
Tong Yao might put up with losing money, but she would never put up with insults. Even if this marriage ended, she never chose to submit. Especially with a mother-in-law and sister-in-law like this, once they provoked her, they had gone too far.
Si Xiaohui was frightened and shrank her neck. She wasn’t sure if anyone else would dare to do it, but Tong Yao was a vicious woman who was ruthless and never merciful. She did know that about her.
Feeling vindictive and afraid, Si Xiaohui suddenly lost her momentum. She had lost her spirit and couldn’t summon it back.
However, on second thought, since Tong Yao had infuriated her mother to the point of consuming poison, she had to somehow take revenge on Tong Yao since she had come. Otherwise, Tong Yao would think that there was no one in their family who could stand up for her mother.
In any case, she must make Tong Yao pay a price.
"You pushed my mother so far as to make her take poison. Now she is in the hospital where my elder brother works, and the hospitalization fee has not been settled yet. You first put out a thousand... no, three thousand yuan, which I will take to the hospital to pay for my mother. As for the account of you pushing my mother to the brink of suicide, my uncle will settle that with your parents once my mother is discharged."
Si Xiaohui hadn’t even noticed it, but when it came to wanting money, she started calling ’our mother’ in every sentence. The phrase ’money brings respect’ was fully demonstrated by Si Xiaohui.
Snort!
This time, she had to make Tong Yao bleed heavily. Don’t think she didn’t know that Tong Yao’s milk tea shop was quite profitable. To Tong Yao, three thousand yuan was a trifling matter.
Si Xiaohui was even deliberating in her heart how to spend this three thousand yuan.
Tong Yao sneered at the corner of her mouth, "Did Si Weimin go bankrupt?"
"You are the one who’s bankrupt. Even if you go bankrupt, my uncle couldn’t possibly go bankrupt." Si Xiaohui glared at Tong Yao, feeling that Tong Yao meant no good. If she’s not cursing her mother’s death, she’s cursing her uncle’s bankruptcy.
Their family was certainly unlucky for accepting such a daughter-in-law.
As far as she was concerned, both of her brothers lacked discernment in their choice of brides. None of them knew how to pick a good wife.
"If not bankrupt, why are you asking me for money?"
Tong Yao was too lazy to deal with Si Xiaohui anymore, tidied up the counter a bit, turned to Deng Wenwen and said, "I am going to the hospital to check. I won’t be back this afternoon. You also get off work early in this snowy weather."
"Okay, Sister Yaoyao." Deng Wenwen, looking worried, sent Tong Yao to the door.
"Hey, I told you to give me the money. Who told you to go see my mother? Is there something wrong with your ears? Can’t you understand human speech?"
Si Xiaohui ran after Tong Yao, but her foot slipped and she fell down. She let out a cry of pain, got up and continued to chase after Tong Yao.
"Don’t think just because the money is in your pocket, it’s your money. It’s the common property of you and your husband. Now that my mother is in trouble, you have to take the money out to pay for my mother’s treatment."
Tong Yao paused, turned to Si Xiaohui and said leisurely, "You want me to take out the money, fine. Let’s do it legally. How much the court rules, I’ll pay."
"Are you out of your mind? What legal procedures are you talking about? It’s a common sense that a son should provide for his mother. Why do we need legal procedures? You are bullying me just because I don’t know about law!"
Si Xiaohui was furious and chased after Tong Yao. She hadn’t studied much and didn’t know much about law. She always thought it was troublesome to go to court and that the court wouldn’t care about such trivial matters.
Tong Yao was somewhat agitated and said coldly, "You keep squawking and I will go back and let Ahchen practice suturing wounds on your mouth."
After that, she turned around and left. Si Xiaohui, frightened by Tong Yao’s words, instantly behaved. She thought too much, Tong Yao was indeed as stingy as an iron rooster.
The road was covered with thick snow. Si Xiaohui was eager to go out and was still wearing cotton slippers. She kept slipping while walking and was soon left behind by Tong Yao.
Perhaps because Lin Fengying caused a big scene by drinking rat poison, as soon as she arrived at the hospital, the nurses looked at her strangely. Just as Tong Yao was about to go upstairs, Nurse Wang pulled her aside and whispered.
"Tong Yao, I heard your mother-in-law took rat poison because of you. I don’t think you’re like that. What’s going on?"
Tong Yao’s mouth twitched a little, "I just heard the news too, I was about to verify it."
"You don’t know yet?" Nurse Wang was surprised, "Your mother-in-law is in Ward 306 of the Inpatient Department. Your uncle is looking after her right now. In my opinion, your mother-in-law is really ruthless. She drunk a lot and almost didn’t make it through the rescue. Dr. Si is there now too."
"Thank you, I’ll go see for myself." Tong Yao was not in the mood for more talking, and turned towards the Inpatient Department.
Just reaching the corridor on the third floor, she saw Si Weimin standing in front of Ward 306, talking to Si Chen with a cold face. She pressed her lips and walked towards the two men. Si Weimin glanced at Tong Yao with disdain, snorted, and then turned and walked into the ward.
"How is she?" Approaching Si Chen, Tong Yao noticed his weary face. His jaw was tense. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt a bit scared. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
This morning Si Chen went to see Lin Fengying, although she didn’t know about it at that time, Si Chen went to see Lin Fengying anyway because of her. If anything happened to Lin Fengying, it would be like a life coming between her and Si Chen.
No matter how deep the love was, how could they live happily ever after?
Moreover, they didn’t even have a child to sustain their marriage.
