Chapter 387
Chen Dongzhi squeezed in just when everyone's eyes were on the man.
"How is it? Are you hurt?" His eyes fell on Zhong Ruyi, and he looked at her carefully twice, and felt relieved when he didn't see any problems.
Zhong Ruyi shook her head. "It's okay. I just saw him chasing after Wei's younger sister in the store."
Wei Rou, who was beside her, heard her ex-husband's thoughts about her in the crowd and almost rushed out to confront him.
It was obviously not like what he said. I worked in his house all day without stopping, but now he is telling the onlookers that he did all the housework!
Not only did she not have enough food to eat at his home, but she was also beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law. He turned a blind eye to it and even blamed her for making his mother-in-law angry.
She opened her mouth to retort, but her voice was drowned out by the man's loud voice and she couldn't utter a word.
He even wanted to drown their daughter. Thinking of this, Wei Rou suddenly became disheartened.
Her husband's family couldn't tolerate her, so she returned to her parents' home. Her elder brother and sister-in-law treated her well, but her mother always said in front of her that a night of love is worth a hundred days of grace, and asked her to think carefully and not be so heartless.
But it was obvious that she wanted to leave because she couldn't live anymore. If she were a lover, who would want to divorce?
Mrs. Wei in front had no idea how sad her sister-in-law was. She only knew that this shameless former brother-in-law dared to confuse right and wrong and described her old woman as a kind-hearted person. She spat fiercely in his face:
"Bah! You bastard! Since you came out of your mother's belly, of course you should speak for her, but my sister-in-law is a pushover. You have bullied and scolded her for the past year, treated her like a dog, and even wanted to drown our newborn daughter. For a family like you, my sister's escape is really a blessing she accumulated in her previous life!"
"Do you think I don't know why you came back to beg my sister? Isn't it because you can't afford the bride price to marry a second wife? You think of my sister now? Bah! Go to your mother's Lin family, if you dare to come again, I will break your dog legs!"
She was so angry that the people watching the excitement around her began to doubt what the man said and couldn't help but discuss:
"The husband has his own reasons and the wife has her own reasons. Who should I listen to?"
"I think that unless a girl has really suffered a great injustice, it is impossible for her to go down the path of divorce."
"That's hard to say. What if this girl is really like he said, never doing any housework at her husband's house, always irritating her mother-in-law, and even after giving birth to a child, she doesn't care about herself and just enjoys herself all day long? Who would want her?"
The man looked very proud when he heard this, and looked at Wei, who had an angry face, as if he was showing off.
Wei refused to accept and started to curse immediately.
The street was noisy here. Zhong Ruyi had already brought Wei Rou into the store and was waiting, while Chen Dongzhi was watching outside.
Two policemen patrolling the street saw something was happening and immediately came over. "What are you doing?"
The officer, dressed in red and black casual clothes and with a knife at his waist, scared the onlookers away.
Wei Rou's ex-husband was so frightened when he saw the officials that he trembled all over and almost fell to his knees uncontrollably.
The people who came were Liu Yu Niang's elder brother Liu Gang and one of his colleagues. The two came over, asked what happened, grabbed the weak man and left.
After Zhong Ruyi comforted Wei Rou, she followed him out to take a look. She felt relieved to see that the man was taken away by the officers.
While Chen Dongzhi was talking to Liu Gang, an old lady suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Wei who was about to enter the store and asked, "Where is Xiao Linzi?"
Wei's face turned cold, the person who came was her mother-in-law.
As soon as the man was taken away, her mother-in-law came out. Maybe she was hiding there and peeking!
She said calmly, "The man surnamed Lin who broke into a private house has been arrested by the police!"
The old lady was so anxious that she grabbed Wei and asked, "Where is your sister? Xiao Linzi just went to see her and didn't do anything to her. Why did you arrest him?"
"Grandma, my sister is pooping." Wei's eldest son came up from behind, holding a swaddling baby, followed by a four-year-old boy.
"Big boy!" Mrs. Wei ignored her mother-in-law. Seeing her eldest son coming over with his sister in his arms, she waved at them and said, "Come over here, mother."
Wei had two sons, the older one was eight years old and the younger one was four years old. As soon as the older one, who was in swaddling clothes, approached, he smelled a foul odor.
No one paid any attention to the old lady. She was very anxious and wanted to go into the store to look for her daughter, but Chen Dongzhi stopped her and said, "You are not allowed in if you don't have food."
"You!" She stared at him. She had never seen anyone do business this way.
Wei took her three children into the store, leaving Chen Dongzhi outside to guard the cans and her mother-in-law.
In the backyard, Wei Rou had calmed down and asked her sister-in-law why she went out to buy vegetables in the morning. Wasn't it her mother-in-law who bought the vegetables in the past?
Wei Rou was a little confused. "I don't know either. My mother gave me a hundred coins and asked me to buy today's vegetables. When I went back home, no one was home. As soon as I put the vegetables down, that person rushed over to me."
At this moment, there were only her and Wei Rou in the backyard. The two children were helping to serve dishes in the store, and Zhong Ruyi and Sun Tao were busy in the kitchen.
Sometimes Wei felt that she was really lucky to have met such a good boss.
Thinking of her confused mother-in-law, she became angry. "Just as that man surnamed Lin was taken away, my mother came here, bringing several children with her." In the past, her mother-in-law was most reluctant to take children to the street, saying that half-grown children were noisy and going out was as tiring as working in the fields.
Wei Rou didn’t understand what her sister-in-law meant. She just nodded blankly to indicate that she understood.
"...You don't understand." Wei's eyes were complicated. "Our courtyard wall is high and hard to climb. That Lin guy is a weakling. How could he climb up? I think someone opened the door for him!"
Wei Rou's lips trembled. Even if she was stupid, she should have understood what her sister-in-law meant.
Suddenly, there was a faint cry coming from the backyard. The two people who were busy in the kitchen looked at each other, unable to hide the sympathy in their eyes.
When the cooked dishes are brought to the door, the older and younger kids will cleverly serve them to the guests.
Outside the door, Wei's mother-in-law had already left. Chen Dongzhi was talking to Ah Hai and the others. "One jar costs one hundred and fifty coins. There are a total of one hundred and five jars here. The extra ones are for you."
Ah Hai readily gave him the money and asked him if he could help deliver it to the dock.
"Okay, I'll go in and get something." Chen Dongzhi didn't refuse. He went in and gave the money from selling the canned food to his wife, then went to the martial arts gym next door to borrow a cart, and he and Ah Hai pulled the canned food to the dock.
It took Zhong Ruyi a long time to reach the backyard. Wei Rou had stopped crying and was just sitting there stupidly. On the bench next to her was a swaddling baby, babbling inside it.
Wei has already gone out to work. No matter how nice the Dong family is, she cannot get too much of their attention. She still has to do her job, otherwise she would be really heartless.
