Chapter 272: The ‘hard-fated’ Third Sister-in-law
Later, Widow Liu became pregnant, and she told them the child was Wang Dali’s.
Wang Dali knew Widow Liu wasn’t involved with just him, but for the slim hope, or perhaps for the child in her belly, he ignored the possibility that the child in Widow Liu’s belly might belong to someone else.
He just wanted a child.
Liu Hong also used this as leverage, saying she wanted to give the child a complete home and demanded Wang Dali divorce his wife, otherwise she would take the child and marry someone else.
Wang Dali agreed and went home to start a fight with his wife.
Naturally, Father Wang and Mother Wang did not agree to this, and neither did his wife.
They argued for a long time, and finally Wang Dali’s wife even tried to hang herself to commit suicide.
But Wang Dali, who had become obsessed, did not stop there; he directly knelt before his wife and begged her to fulfill his wish.
When his wife saw that such a proud man would kneel before her for Liu Hong, she completely gave up.
She said farewell to Father Wang and Mother Wang and tidied up her belongings that night before leaving.
At that time, they didn’t have the concept of registering their marriage at the civil affairs bureau, so they didn’t get a marriage certificate, and there was no need to get a divorce certificate when she left.
Wang Dali’s ex-wife left so lightly.
Wang Dali only felt guilty for a short time before begging Father Wang and Mother Wang to let him marry Liu Hong.
Compared to Wang Dali’s ex-wife, Liu Hong was a typical “sister-supporting-brother” type, and was sarcastic, mean, greedy, and lazy. Wang Mei often argued with her before she married out.
Wang Mei wiped her eyes: “This is truly retribution. Such a good person as Sister-in-law Lanhua was so ruined and bullied by the two of them, and now…”
Now this retribution has fallen upon her eldest brother.
Although he is her own brother, she still wants to say he deserves it!
He abandoned his sister-in-law to marry that shameless bitch Liu Hong, and as a result, not only did he raise a child for someone else, but he also lived such a hard life like an old ox. It was all his own doing!
“Jiaojiao, give me the camera, I’ll go get the photos developed.”
This is evidence.
Because of Liu Hong, her parents didn’t suffer. Now that this secret is known, they must drive that woman Liu Hong away completely.
Father Wang sighed: “And your motorcycle, you should tell your son-in-law and his brothers to be careful, don’t let it get stolen.”
“Let’s send Jiaojiao and the others back tomorrow, it’s not safe.”
Wang Mei said worriedly: “Then what about you, Dad and Mom? I’m afraid that crazy Liu Hong might attack you.”
Yun Jiao had a good memory and recounted the entire dialogue between Liu Hong and that man.
Wang Mei always felt that Liu Hong would harm the two elders for their property, house, and other things.
Father Wang sneered: “In broad daylight, do they think they can kill the two of us?”
Yun Jiao: “I’m not going back, I’m protecting Great Aunt and you.”
Although Mother Wang was touched, she was more worried about Yun Jiao and urged her to go back.
Wang Mei gritted her teeth: “Let’s not worry about it for now. Anyway, they won’t come to cause trouble for a while. Tomorrow, when Lin He arrives, we’ll discuss what to do.”
That’s all they could do.
This night, due to the explosive news brought by Yun Jiao and the others, Father Wang and Mother Wang tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Yun Jiao and her older brothers were young and didn’t think about it so much, so they slept soundly.
The next day, Father Wang and Mother Wang had dark circles under their eyes, clearly not having slept well.
But they still got up on time, as there was still a lot of work to do at home.
Wang Mei saw their state and was very worried.
“Dad and Mom, go back and rest, I’ll go cook pig feed.”
Yun Jiao was sitting on a small stool, and Yun Xiao Jiu was combing her hair.
Although Yun Xiao Jiu was the youngest among the older brothers, he combed Yun Jiao’s hair better than anyone except Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother.
“Aunt, Jiaojiao, come help burn fire too.”
The other children also ran over, sweeping the floor with brooms and helping to carry pig feed.
Although these boys were usually mischievous, they grew up in hardship and were not half-hearted when helping with work.
Father Wang and Mother Wang saw this, and their hearts, which had been heavy due to yesterday’s events, felt a little better.
But it wasn’t long before more people arrived at the house.
Seeing the person, Father Wang and Mother Wang’s faces immediately fell.
Wang Mei also rolled her eyes.
The person who arrived was Wang Mei’s third sister-in-law.
As for Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, they were not present; her second brother was the one who had died earlier.
The woman had a look of extreme misery on her face.
“Dad, Mom.”
Her dejected and mournful calls to her parents made both elders’ faces darken.
“What are you doing here?”
They also disliked this third daughter-in-law very much.
Because she cried all the time, as if she was being bullied and couldn’t live after a death in the family.
Who would want to face such a glum person every day in a good life?
She also loved to complain, grabbing people to pour out her heart.
“I heard my sister-in-law returned, so San Li asked me to come and see.”
She looked at Wang Mei: “Meizi, you’re back. Your third brother is thinking of you. Come visit home when you have time.”
Wang Mei gave a “oh” sound: “Sister-in-law, you came quite early. Have you eaten?”
After a simple greeting, in the next second, she saw the woman’s eyes redden and start to cry.
Wang Mei: …………
Why did my darn mouth have to ask an unnecessary question?
But she also knew that even if she didn’t ask, this third sister-in-law would probably cry anyway.
Yun Jiao peeked her head from behind her aunt.
Wow… she cried so quickly, this person is amazing.
If she were merfolk, how many pearls would she shed?
“My children have to go to school, so I have to get up early to cook for them and feed the pigs, chickens, and ducks. Your third brother only knows how to drink all day and doesn’t even notice if the broom falls over.
Also, the tilted fields have to be tidied up by me alone. I am just a bitter person. Unlike you, Meizi, your family has built a new house and bought a motorcycle.
Sister-in-law truly envies you. Your son and nephews are all so sensible. Chen Nan is about to take the college entrance examination, and with his good academic performance, he’s sure to get into a good university.
My two, alas… their academic performance isn’t good. A few days ago, the school teacher even called me in for a scolding. Why am I so unfortunate? I wasn’t welcomed at my maternal home, and my siblings bullied me…”
Wang Mei’s head immediately started to ache. Here it comes, it’s coming again.
She was cooking pig feed, listening to her third sister-in-law pour out her endless troubles with a look of complete resignation, and her eyes gradually became numb.
Yun Jiao also: …………
No, this person talks too much.
Wang Mei turned around and rolled her eyes.
Who is to blame for your miserable life? Isn’t it your own doing?
Her third sister-in-law is diligent, but too diligent.
And very odd.
Her third brother wasn’t that lazy originally; he just liked to drink a bit.
But after her third sister-in-law married into the family, Wang Mei truly witnessed the diversity of personalities.
She snatched up every task, even doing the men’s work.
Whenever her third brother wanted to do something, she would rush over and snatch the task away, saying that her man was tired and needed to rest more.
Over time, her third sister-in-law successfully spoiled her third brother into becoming lazy, and he drank more and more, which was also due to his wife spoiling him.
Yet, after doing all this, her third sister-in-law would then feel her life was bitter and tragically seek others to pour her heart out to.
