Zheng's face turned pale.
"Although it's for your niece, what I just said is true." Zheng said through gritted teeth.
"My sister-in-law keeps doing good things for me, but why am I being wronged in the Han family? What kind of life did I have in the Han family? It's not your fault that my sister-in-law didn't understand it. As long as the life can go on, I can't take the step of leaving."
Xia Qinghe rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, and there were strings of bruises on them.
Mrs. Xia shed tears on the spot, and the veins on Xia Qingpi's face twitched.
People's hearts are made of flesh, and Mrs. Zheng is not that vicious brother and sister-in-law. Seeing the bruises made her heart feel bad.
But when I think about my daughter's future good marriage, I still force myself to persuade: "As women, we all depend on fate. Who we marry and what kind of life we live are all determined by fate. There is nothing we can do about it. Sister, It’s not that your sister-in-law is talking about you, you should also change your temper. Don’t mention peace and divorce at all times. Ask the Han family to pick you up tomorrow, and ask Uncle Zhao and Uncle Bai to make peace with your brother-in-law. Also ask the head of the Han family and the head of Xiashan Village to come to you immediately. It’s a piece of evidence. If it’s black and white, then he won’t dare to bully you.”
Xia Qinghe took a deep breath. Without answering her sister-in-law's words, she raised her head to look at Mrs. Xia and asked, "Mom, do you think so too?"
Mrs. Xia burst into tears. On the one hand, she was a married daughter, and on the other hand, she was a granddaughter who had not yet discussed marriage. She was in a dilemma.
"Qinghe, what your sister-in-law said is not unreasonable. Please ask the old Bai family and Village Chief Zhao to come forward and ask the Han family to write you a guarantee and adopt a son from the clan to support you. Having a son by your side is better than It's best for you and Li to go home," Mrs. Xia advised.
Xia Qinghe felt disappointed, looked at his brother, and asked, "Brother thinks so too?"
Xia Qingpi averted his eyes, not daring to look at his sister, and murmured: "If there were no other girls in our family, I would definitely knock on the door of the Han family and ask for a release letter from you. You will always have something to eat when you return to your parents' house. But I You are also someone who has a daughter. I was confused and didn't think clearly before, but now I have to consider your niece."
After Xia Qingpi said this, he felt very uncomfortable. Yesterday, he vowed to support his sister, but now he had to personally drive his sister to the Han family.
Xia Qinghe listened quietly and remained silent for a long time. The embroidery needle in her hand pricked her fingertip uncontrollably, and blood beads came out, staining the insoles on her legs red.
"Qinghe, you are not a mother. You don't understand my thoughts as a mother. Just pity your niece." Madam Zheng raised her sleeves and sobbed.
Xia Qinghe took a breath, nodded towards Mrs. Zheng and said, "Sister-in-law, there is no need to say more."
After my mother and brother and sister-in-law left, Xia Qinghe stayed for a long time.
At midnight, Xia Qinghe relit the oil lamp, quietly got out of bed, and took out a wooden box from a loose brick in the corner.
Opening the box to the light, there was a stack of banknotes inside.
This was what Xia Qinghe had saved over the years in the Han family's medicinal business, and she had taken it all back to her parents' home. The Han family still doesn't know about it.
Originally, if her brother and sister-in-law agreed to her and Li's return home, she planned to use the money to subsidize her brother and sister-in-law, but now it was no longer necessary.
Xia Qinghe looked determined.
Early in the morning, when Xiao Fuyuan woke up, Qiuniang put her into new clothes, tied up her hair, and dressed her up beautifully.
"Grandma, mother." Xiao Fuyuan wiped her teeth with green salt and came to the dining table.
Everyone else had finished eating and was busy with their own business. At this time, only Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen were at the dinner table.
While eating, Xia Qinghe came to the door.
Xie Chuntao was stunned for a moment when he opened the door. This was the first time he had visited Lao Bai's house since Xia Qinghe broke up with Bai Erzhuang.
Xie Chuntao quickly welcomed Xia Qinghe in.
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen were equally surprised when they saw Qinghe come in.
"Sister Yuan Bao, you are eating." After Xia Qinghe greeted Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen, she greeted little Fuyuan with a smile.
"Sister Qinghe, have you eaten? Do you want to eat together?" Xiao Fuyuan said.
Xia Qinghe smiled and shook his head, sitting next to Xiao Fuyuan.
"Grandma, aunt, I have something to ask you for help with." Xia Qinghe bit her lip and said.
"Qinghe, if you have anything to ask, feel free to mention it." Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen looked at each other and said.
Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought that Xia Qinghe came to the Bai family because she hoped that the Bai family would go to the Han family to get her a letter of release.
Even if Xia Qinghe didn't say anything about this matter, the Bai family would still help her, not to mention that she came to the door today.
"Sister Qinghe, you're welcome." Xiao Fuyuan followed.
Xia Qinghe placed a box in her hand on the Bai family dining table. When she opened it, there were white banknotes inside.
What does Sister Qinghe do?
Xiao Fuyuan was shocked!
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen were also shocked.
"I saved this bank note from selling Chinese medicinal materials in the Han family for so many years. Now that I have decided to divorce, I am not willing to take advantage of the Han family." Xia Qinghe said.
Xiao Fuyuan expressed her full appreciation for what Sister Qinghe did.
"I brought them all back, and my mother and brother and sister-in-law don't know." Xia Qinghe said.
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen looked at each other again, and Xiao Fuyuan had already guessed Sister Qinghe's intention.
"I want to temporarily store this bank note with grandma and aunt." Xia Qinghe finally said his purpose.
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen were quite hesitant.
"Qinghe, what happened?" Zhen asked keenly, otherwise Xia Qinghe would not have transferred the banknotes to the Bai family. Who can have someone of their own who is trustworthy?
unless
"Tell the truth to grandma and aunt. My mother and brother-in-law do not agree with my divorce. But I will not return to the Han family. Even if I can't return to my parents' home in the future, I will still reconcile. This banknote is with me. , I can’t trust my parents now, so I want to leave the banknote with you." Xia Qinghe told the truth.
Old Mrs. Bai was very happy and said: "Okay, since you trust me as an old woman, I will keep it for you. Qinghe, you have to know that there is no obstacle that you can't overcome."
Xia Qinghe nodded, tears welling up in his eyes.
Madam Zhen asked, "Is it your sister-in-law who doesn't agree with your divorce?"
Mrs. Xia and Xia Qingpi had already agreed before, but why did Mrs. Zheng change her mind when she came back from her parents' home? Mrs. Zhen guessed that the problem must be with Mrs. Zheng.
Xia Qinghe nodded and said, "I can also understand my sister-in-law. Naturally, a mother should put her daughter before her sister-in-law."
Xie Chuntao on the side couldn't help but look at Xiao Fuyuan. She didn't think so. If she had a daughter, if her sister-in-law was wronged by her husband's family, she would definitely stand up for her.
How could I let my aunt suffer because she was afraid of affecting her niece?
They are all women, so why bother?
But not all sisters-in-law in the world are as sensible as Xie Chuntao.
"Qinghe, no matter what your family thinks, you must make up your own mind." Zhen said, "If you need help, just ask."
Xia Qinghe smiled bitterly: "Thank you, Auntie, I plan to divorce and have a separate household."
While they were talking here, there was a quarrel from the Xia family, and the Han family came to ask for someone again.
