Returning to the village in the afternoon, Li Yi went to the new house first as always.
After all, Tang Xue was pregnant, so she couldn't let her work too hard. If she had time, she would help with more work.
Just after arriving, Li Yi felt that the atmosphere in the new house was not right.
In the yard, the second sister Li Lan looked angry, while Tang Xue's eyes were red as if she had cried.
At first glance, Li Yi thought that the two of them were having a conflict. To be precise, he thought that the second sister was bullying Tang Xue.
This is not to say that Li Yi married a daughter-in-law and forgot about his sister, but that Li Yi knew the temper of his second sister, who was famously domineering.
Not to mention Tang Xue, the sister-in-law, even the parents of the second brother-in-law and the parents-in-law of the second sister are not easy to deal with, and they will always fight if they are annoyed.
Even if it is Li Yi himself, the second sister can take action directly without making any noise when she is angry. She is a fierce one!
But just when Li Yi was about to ask what happened, he didn't expect Tang Xue to suddenly run towards him after seeing him.
Li Yi was worried that she would fall, so he hurriedly took a few steps to meet her.
After Tang Xue threw herself into Li Yi's arms, she suddenly burst into tears, which was so sad.
Li Yi was immediately startled. His wife's reaction was really a bit big, and she felt quite aggrieved at first glance.
While gently patting Tang Xue's back, he asked hurriedly: "Don't cry, what's going on? Is the second sister bullying you? Can I help you tell her off?"
Li Lan on the side suddenly glared at Li Yi. This brother is really useless. Do you want to replace him?
Tang Xue cried for a while before saying: "No, how could the second sister bully me? It's..."
"You should tell me what's going on!"
"A letter came from my family!"
"That's it? Just come, why are you crying?"
Tang Xue immediately said: "My father asked me to go back quickly, and also said..."
"What other unpleasant things did they say?" Li Yi asked in a deep voice.
Seeing that Tang Xue was still hesitating, the second sister Li Lan said angrily: "Xiaoxue's father said that the recruitment of workers at the steel factory has begun, and he wants Xiaoxue to go back and marry an old widower named Liu, otherwise he will marry someone else's young man. Now that you’re a girl, sister Xiaoxue’s bullshit job will be in vain!”
"They also said that if Xiaoxue doesn't go back, they will send his big brother to take her back!"
Hearing this, Li Yi finally understood why Tang Xue was crying. This was once again hurt by those top family members.
"Who wrote the letter, your father or your sister?" Li Yi asked in a deep voice.
"Usually my father dictates and my brother writes for me!" Tang Xue said with an aggrieved look.
"Hmph, they are really good parents and brothers, and they are not afraid of thunder!" Li Lan said through gritted teeth.
She always had a bad temper, but after reading the letter written by Tang Xue's parents to her, she immediately became very angry.
Although Li Yi was also very angry, he did not curse with his second sister.
He patted Tang Xue on the back, and then said softly: "Don't cry yet, it's not worth being angry for people like them!"
"But I just feel aggrieved!" Tang Xue said.
"It's not you who's wrong. If you're angry, you're punishing yourself for other people's mistakes!"
Then Li Yi said again: "And you are still pregnant. If you are angry, our baby will also feel uncomfortable!"
After hearing this, Tang Xue stopped crying immediately.
She subconsciously touched her belly, then looked at Li Yi and said, "He...can he really feel it?"
"Um!"
Of course, Li Yi knew that the little guy in his belly was probably the size of a soybean now and didn't even have a fetal heartbeat, so he definitely couldn't sense it.
But he couldn't say this, lest his wife would continue to be angry.
After Tang Xue calmed down, Li Yi said again: "Daughter-in-law, what do you think?"
"I...I won't go back, but I'm afraid they will really come here to make trouble!"
Tang Xue couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the faces of those at home who would never give up until they achieved their goals.
However, Li Yi shook his head and said: "There is no way to avoid this kind of thing!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Didn't they ask you to go back? Then let's go back and have a look. I want to see what kind of parents can do such a cold-blooded thing!" Li Yi said in a cold tone.
"this…"
Tang Xue hesitated when she heard that Li Yi wanted to accompany her home.
She has been hurt time and again by her family over the years, and she has become full of resistance to that family. If possible, she really doesn't want to have any contact with them anymore.
Moreover, Tang Xue feels that her life is very good now. She has a husband who loves her and an aunt who gets along like sisters.
She even has a baby in her belly, and they will soon become a family of three.
Although she did marry from the city to the countryside, and she did marry a guy with muddy legs who had not graduated from junior high school, she still felt that she was very happy.
Therefore, Tang Xue really didn't want those people in her family to affect her normal life.
Li Yi saw his wife's concerns and immediately comforted him: "I will accompany you back, and we will completely resolve this matter, believe me."
"Really want to go back?"
"Go back!"
"Then...I listen to you. If they really dare to embarrass us, I will go to the subdistrict office to find a cadre to judge!" Tang Xue said while biting her little tiger teeth.
"Um!"
The reason why Li Yi insisted on taking Tang Xue back was not just because of this unexpected letter from home, but because there were some things that he needed to investigate.
At the same time, Li Yi also needs to say goodbye to his previous life!
So even without this letter from the Tang family, Li Yi would still find an opportunity to go to Qin Province.
Of course, under normal circumstances he would wait until his wife gives birth.
But since these people couldn't wait any longer, he went to meet them.
However, going out these days is not an easy task. Not to mention that there are so many things to arrange at home, and more importantly, there are many things that need to be prepared.
For example, a letter of introduction, or a national food stamp.
In this era where a letter of introduction is required to travel by car or stay in a hotel, you can travel far away without money, but you absolutely cannot without a letter of introduction.
Secondly, he and Tang Xue were already married. Although there was no certificate, they had to issue a certificate when going out. Otherwise, they might be labeled as hooligans or broken shoes.
Furthermore, since they were traveling across provinces to return to Tang Xue's family this time, the locally issued food stamps could no longer be used, so they had to exchange them for national food stamps at designated food stations.
Also, Li Yi still has one very important thing to do before leaving, which is to take his father to the provincial capital for medical treatment.
There is indeed something wrong with Dad's lungs, there is no doubt about it.
But the medical level in the county is really poor, so I can only go to a larger hospital.
In Li Yi's view, the city is actually not much different from the county. If you want to go, just go to the province.
After all, all major hospitals in the province have introduced CT machines. Whether Dad’s lungs are cancerous as Comrade Ru expected, we can just use CT to check them.
Therefore, Li Yi decided to take his father to the provincial capital before leaving.
