On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, people watch lanterns, cure diseases, and eat Yuanxiao.
Although the door of Zhao Mansion is closed, it is not alone.
The lanterns brought by Lin Mengya from outside gave them a new experience, and at the same time made them a little curious about the outside.
Is the outside world really as useless as the elders described
Under the trend of curiosity, bold people are ready to go outside to take a good look after spring, even if it is just a sneak peek, they will have bragging rights when they come back.
Even those who are timid can't help but yearn for the origin of those beautiful lanterns.
It would be great if it can be like this next year.
But not everyone is happy to see such a change.
"Bah! Aren't they just a few broken lanterns? They are worth taking out and blasting them. I really haven't seen anything great in the world!"
In Zhao Yongcai's house, Yongcai's mother was sitting on the fire bed, with a dark face and a mean mouth that almost said something about Lin Mengya without naming her.
"Where's Yongcai? You're not going to look for that family troublemaker again, are you?" Her eyes widened, her voice couldn't help but rise several times, and she even shouted harshly: "I told him earlier, then Zhao Xiaodie looks at She doesn’t look like a blessed person! Even if she gave birth to a filthy little girl, now she has seduced my son so much that he doesn’t even recognize me as his mother.”
"My life is so miserable! I was pregnant for ten months and worked hard to raise him, but now he has given up for a little bitch. What am I doing here? I might as well die!"
After the death of Xiaodie Niang, Yongcainiang not only showed no regrets, but cried and wiped her tears all day long while seeking death.
At first, Zhao Yongcai patiently tried to persuade his mother, but later he found out that his mother was being unreasonable and couldn't explain anything, so he simply gave up and tried to persuade Xiaodie and his daughter back.
Anyway, after spring, he made up his mind to take his children and go with his wife.
Although he is also filial to his parents, his wife fought tooth and nail to give him a precious daughter. He will never let his wife and child suffer any more injustice.
"Why are you howling? Shut your mouth. You are really messing up a good family. I told you not to mingle with your parents' family. I didn't know that Xiaodie's father was with What’s the dirty stuff about your sister?”
Yongcai's father made a clanging sound on his pipe pot, and when he opened his mouth, Yongcai's mother was shocked, and she didn't dare to reply for a long time.
"I don't know about him or them." She felt a little aggrieved.
But Yongcai's father was very clear-sighted. He pinned the cigarette stick to his waistband and warned Yongcai's mother with a stern face.
"It's a shame you didn't know. If you had dared to get involved, I would have sent you back to your parents' house long ago!"
"Also, if Yongcai and his second aunt hadn't done such shameless things, Xiaodie and her mother wouldn't have been kicked out."
"It was originally the fault of your family, but now you have forced Xiaodie to death. If Xiaodie knows about this, see if she can recognize you as her mother-in-law in the future!"
As the head of the family, Yongcai's father can still control Yongcai's mother.
But he was frowning now. When he came back from outside, he learned the good news that his daughter-in-law had given birth to a granddaughter for him.
But before he could see the child being happy, he heard that this prodigal woman in his family had driven his mother-in-law to death.
Although he also wanted to have a grandson, he had never thought of letting Yongcai take a concubine.
He is just worried now about what will happen if his daughter-in-law never comes back.
Alas, it's all the fault of this old woman who can't carry it clearly!
"Since you already knew about this, why didn't you tell me? Do you know how Xue Lanfang bullied my mother?"
"Just because she is your cousin and her mother is your biological aunt, so you have to hide it from me and my mother for them! You know clearly that the person who hurt my mother the most in this world is her mother. Just because My mother and I are outsiders, so you help them bully me and my mother, Zhao Yongcai, you have no conscience!"
Every word the wife said was like a knife piercing Zhao Yongcai's heart.
But he couldn't argue.
When he first knew about this, he was already married to Xiaodie.
So he was afraid that after Xiaodie found out about this, she would get angry with him because of her aunt's relationship, or even leave him.
It was his mother who begged him in the first place, saying that if Xiaodie and her mother found out, there might be a big fight.
It is better to do less than to do more. His mother kept promising him that she would treat Xiaodie well and that she would not dislike his mother-in-law.
But now, everything is over!
"Yongcai, where is the person?"
When Yongcai's father came out, he saw his son standing at the door in despair, and his heart tightened.
He also didn't expect that Xiaodie would come back at this time and hear such fatal things again.
He had scolded the old woman severely in the house before, and was thinking of coaxing his daughter-in-law to go back. If that didn't work, he would ask Yongcainiang to admit her mistake.
Unexpectedly, the person disappeared.
"Dad, it's useless." Zhao Yongcai staggered back a few steps and slumped on the ground helplessly.
"Xiaodie knows it all, she will definitely not forgive me this time!"
What is despair? He just feels it now.
Yongcai's father frowned, "I know we didn't handle this properly, but your mother and I have nothing to do with the bad things your second aunt did. Otherwise, I'll go talk to her." ? I know that kid Xiaodie, he is the most reasonable person."
At this time, Yongcainiang also walked out of the house slowly.
It's just that her eyes dodge and she feels extremely guilty.
Zhao Yongcai glanced at his mother and said with a wry smile: "Dad, it's not that simple. Xiaodie said that when Xue Lanfang was at our house, she and her mother were bullied. Later, when her mother died, Xue Lanfang was also present. .”
Yongcai's father's heart sank, and he suddenly turned around and glared at his wife.
"What do you think you did? Originally, your family was sorry for Xiaodie's mother, but you brought Xue Lanfang to bully her!"
Yongcai’s father was furious.
When he was young, he was cheated by the Yue family several times, so he disliked seeing the Xue family the most.
In the past, when Xue Lanfang came to Zhao's house, it was always when he was not around.
He originally thought that with such a relative, he would not be able to hold his head high in front of Xiao Die Niang, but who would have thought that the Zhao family woman actually did something even more stupid.
"I'm not doing this all for Yongcai's sake!" Yongcai Niang cried and complained to herself, "If Xiaodie Niang knows about that, how can our son hold his head up and be a good man!"
But at this moment, Zhao Yongcai didn't want to pay attention to his mother at all.
He looked at his mother with disappointment and finally recognized a fact that he had been unwilling to admit before.
"You are not doing it for me. You think that if Xiaodie and her mother-in-law know that it was the second aunt who did it, and that you helped cover it up when the second aunt had a tryst with Xiaodie's father. In the future, you will be responsible for their mother and daughter. I can’t hold my head up in front of you, and I can’t take on your mother-in-law posture.”
