Li Zhengguo didn't want to go drinking as he had to take care of his wife. But his elder cousin specifically invited him, and Tiantian also told him to go, so he had to go reluctantly.
Tian Jing vaguely felt someone entering the room as she drifted in and out of sleep.
She thought it was her mother-in-law. Zhengguo wouldn't enter the room like this.
But as she felt the person hiding behind the door, she jolted awake and forced herself to be fully conscious. She wanted to see what this person was trying to do. After all, one had to catch the thief with evidence.
After waiting for a while, just as she was about to fall back asleep, she heard the door open.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the person who had just appeared at the door being hugged by the figure behind the door.
"Cousin brother~"
The person, soft and boneless, clung to the person she had embraced. "Zhengguo~ Cousin sister-in-law is not feeling well. Let me serve you, okay? Just once."
Tian Jing opened her eyes. "Damn it, Zhao Xiaofang, you're dead."
"Is that so?" The person being hugged spoke, their voice extremely cold.
The soft and boneless figure in his arms immediately jumped out of his embrace. "Rongguo, why is it you? How could you enter cousin sister-in-law's room?"
"Heh, are you trying to blame others? Zhao Xiaofang, you're truly disgusting."
Li Rongguo moved aside, revealing Li Zhengguo and Li Mu behind him. "There are two companions here. Can I enter my cousin brother's room?"
Li Zhengguo pushed aside the two people blocking the door. "Go back and sort yourselves out. Don't sicken me here. Damn it, I'm about to throw up from yesterday's meal."
"Cousin brother~"
Zhao Xiaofang still wanted to reach out and grab Li Zhengguo.
Li Zhengguo flung her hand away. "Scram!"
"Slap!"
Li Rongguo raised his hand and slapped her. "What are you doing? Trying to be like Zhang Fangcao, thinking that after it happens, you can successfully take her place?"
"Ah?" Zhao Xiaofang covered her face, looking at the man with a cold expression. Tears streamed down her face, her voice soft and gentle. "Rongguo, it's not like that. I, I just, I just..."
"Shut up. I don't want to hear your voice. It's with this voice that you make me want to protect you at all times, and with this voice that you complain about me not being as attentive as my cousin brother. It's also with this voice that you made sure I invited my cousin brother today to properly thank him."
"I agreed. You didn't see the bitter smile on my face when I agreed. You were only immersed in the joy of your plan about to be realized. I hoped I was overthinking, but reality slapped me."
"You don't need to argue. We heard what you just said. You also don't need to say you were testing my cousin brother for cousin sister-in-law. Any of your thoughts or plans were clear to me the moment you tried so hard to persuade me to invite my cousin brother for drinks."
"If my cousin brother ignored you, you would have yelled loudly for the villagers to surround us, right? You could have said that during the ten-plus days you've been staying here, my cousin brother had designs on you, right?"
"You could have instigated a fight between cousin sister-in-law and cousin brother, right? Then you would have been happy and content, right?"
"I know I'm not as good as my cousin brother. I'm inferior in capability, money, and everything else. Fine, I won't delay your bright future. Let's divorce! It's not the first case in Kushan."
"No, Rongguo, Rongguo, please forgive me this once. I was blinded by greed."
At this critical juncture, her infinitely tolerant husband proposed divorce. Zhao Xiaofang was terrified. She reached out to grab her husband's arm.
"I don't want to hear anything you have to say. My mind is made up."
Li Rongguo shook off her attempt to get close and asked those outside the door, "Dà Mai, Xiǎo Mai, who do you want to follow? I'll give you a choice."
Dà Mai? Xiǎo Mai? Zhao Xiaofang's eyes widened. She was seen by her two daughters?
Outside the door, Dà Mai, pulling her sister, stood behind their father. "I would rather have no mother."
The contempt in her eldest daughter's eyes was like a slap to Zhao Xiaofang's face. "Dà Mai, Xiǎo Mai, I..."
"Don't talk!" Dà Mai looked up and yelled at her mother. "Ever since I escaped from mother's clutches, I've watched you change with cold eyes."
"I helped you deceive cousin aunt, using cousin aunt to leave that family. I don't regret it; I advised you, I warned you, I did my best, I don't regret it."
"Xiǎo Mai and I will follow Father. Even if we are tormented to death by a stepmother later, I won't regret it. I only regret being born into your womb, it's so dirty!"
"Dà Mai..."
Dà Mai pulled her sister and turned around. "Father, we'll follow you. Don't let her into the house again. I'll go pack her clothes."
Li Rongguo grabbed the still stunned Zhao Xiaofang and walked out. "Let's go. Once you're free, you can serve whomever you want."
As soon as Li Zhengguo hugged the smiling woman on the bed, he wanted to explain. Tian Jing shook her head. "I understand. Don't say anything. Let's watch the show."
Since his wife wanted to watch the show, he didn't rush anyone out.
The show was over. Tian Jing sighed. "Human hearts are never satisfied."
Li Zhengguo was unhappy. "Why are you sighing? They brought it all upon themselves."
Tian Jing lightly patted his face. "It's all your fault. If you hadn't been so gentle with Zhang Fangcao before, why would she still be thinking about you?" Su Dan Novel Network
Li Zhengguo covered the hand on his face. "She's not thinking about me; she's thinking about her first man. Annoying me was just to attract his attention."
"Ah?" Tian Jing was surprised. "Who is it?"
"Li Weiguo."
"Ah? How did you know?"
"Eat first. After eating, I'll tell you."
Just then, Li Mu brought in a bowl of疙瘩 soup. "Tiantian, Minmin made this for you."
She had brought food back, but when she saw that scene, she felt like throwing up all the food in her stomach. How could she possibly give it to her daughter-in-law?
Seeing that her son had successfully entered the room to be with his wife, she didn't bother watching that bitch's performance. She hurried to tell her daughter in the kitchen to redo the meal.
Li Zhengguo took the bowl. Tian Jing said to her mother-in-law, "Thank you, Mother-in-law. Minmin worked hard."
Li Min, who followed them in, looked at her sister-in-law in surprise. "It's not that difficult, is it? Sister-in-law, this is the first time you've called me Minmin. When will you call me Mother and stop calling me Mother-in-law?"
Tian Jing wanted to retort to her sister-in-law, but she met her mother-in-law's hopeful eyes.
She should change her address. "Mother."
"Eh, eh." Li Mu was extremely excited. Although she was still her mother-in-law, her daughter-in-law's call of "Mother" represented that she had gained her daughter-in-law's recognition, and she was considered a qualified mother-in-law in her daughter-in-law's heart.
Li Min placed her hands on her mother's shoulders. "Mother, I call you every day, and you're not this excited."
Li Mu turned and pulled her daughter out of the room. "When you learned to call me Mother for the first time, I was also very excited. You just don't remember."
"Really? How old was I when I learned to call you?"
Mother and daughter left the room.
Li Zhengguo began to feed his wife.
Tian Jing looked at her hands. They were still there, not broken. Why couldn't she eat herself?
"Good girl, open your mouth."
Taking a spoonful of疙瘩 soup to her lips, Tian Jing asked, "Am I disabled?"
"No. I like feeding you. If I could, I would truly want to carry you in my pocket and keep you by my side at all times."
"Then ask Mother to sew you a big pocket."
Ruining the mood!
Li Zhengguo lowered his head and pecked her as a punishment. "I wish even more to eat you and never be separated."
The master of ruining the mood. "Impossible. After digestion, you'll be pooped out as excrement."
Li Zhengguo placed the bowl on the cabinet, hugged her, and started kissing her. "I'll try to see if I can eat you and if I can poop you out."
"You're so disgusting."
"Who is more disgusting, you or me?"
