Chapter 116 Yu Mei is unwilling to let her man be taken away by her mother-in-law (bringing Chen Lix
Yu Mei made a long-distance call to Chen Lixin, who secretly called the neighbor's convenience store behind his mother's back.
He said on the phone that he missed Yu Mei and his daughter, and wanted them to come over quickly, otherwise his mother would ask someone to arrange a marriage for him to marry a new wife.
He also said that on the very night he arrived at his elder sister's house, the old lady couldn't wait and forced Chen Lixin to go to her parents' house for a blind date.
Upon closer inspection, she turned out to be a young widow in her thirties, a woman with a limp who couldn't find a husband and had just lost her husband. Her face was plain-looking, almost like a man's.
Chen Lixin glanced at her with only one eye, then turned and ran. The angry old widow mother rushed out and gave chase, cursing as she pursued him.
“What’s there to be unwilling about? So what if that girl isn’t good-looking and has a limp? She’s very rich. Her husband died in a car accident, and he paid her a large sum of money as compensation. Her parents said that no one in her husband’s family would fight her for that money. Her husband’s parents died long ago, and all the money belongs to that girl. Her parents don’t need the money and don’t want it. Whichever man marries her, she will give him all the compensation money he received.”
Chen Lixin ran very fast. He heard the shouts of Mother's Day behind him getting quieter and quieter until they disappeared completely. He stopped and ran out of the small village where his older sister lived. He then ran straight to the exit of the suburban train station, which was only a few steps away. He stopped there and waited for the time they had agreed to meet the beautiful woman a few days earlier.
An hour later, Yu Mei walked out of the train platform carrying a five or six-year-old girl.
The moment Chen Lixin saw Yu Mei holding her daughter, he immediately took off his shirt and held it high in the air to show Yu Mei that he had come to pick them up from among the crowd of people who had just gotten off the bus.
Yu Mei had arranged a time with Li Xin over the phone before coming, so he knew when she would arrive.
As Yu Mei was looking around for Chen Lixin, she saw a dark blue jacket swaying in the air above the crowd. Then she saw a middle-aged man with a handsome face who looked both familiar and unfamiliar.
A moment later, the two broke through the vast crowd and met up. Chen Lixin disregarded the presence of others and immediately opened his arms to embrace Yu Mei, who was only two meters away, and Chen Xiaosi, who was in Yu Mei's arms.
Then she started spinning in circles. Xiao Sisi started laughing loudly. Yu Mei got dizzy from spinning and called for her to stop. The onlookers formed a circle and shouted for her to continue doing this.
Chen Lixin spun around twice more, then put the mother and daughter down; they nearly fell over from dizziness. A round of applause erupted from the onlookers!
Then, Chen Lixin carried Xiao Sisi on his back and took Yu Mei's hand with one hand as they walked to the cement road.
The three of them returned home shortly afterward. Grandma had just won some money playing mahjong at the neighbor's house, her wrinkled face beaming with a smile. She was dressed neatly, but when she opened the door and saw the three of them, her mood instantly shifted from sunny to cloudy.
The mother-in-law said with a stern face, "Who let you come? This house doesn't welcome outsiders." Yu Mei's heart tightened, and she subconsciously gripped Chen Lixin's hand. Chen Lixin stood firmly in front of Yu Mei and said, "Mom, Yu Mei is the woman I love, and Xiao Sisi is my own flesh and blood. We are a family, so of course we should come here to live together."
The mother-in-law's eyes widened, and she pointed at Yu Mei, saying, "She's a poor person, how dare she come into our family?" Chen Lixin retorted, "I love her, no matter what others think, and I will never go on any more blind dates."
Grandma was trembling with anger and about to explode when little Sisi spoke up in a clear voice: "Grandma, I will be good, and Daddy and Mommy will take good care of you." The child's innocent words were like a ray of light shining into the room.
The mother-in-law paused for a moment, looking at the well-behaved and adorable little Sisi, and the ice in her heart seemed to soften slightly. After a long silence, she snorted and turned to walk into the inner room.
Chen Lixin and Yu Mei smiled at each other. They knew that this was the beginning of a new life. Even if there were many difficulties ahead, as long as the three of them were together, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Things didn't turn out as well as they had imagined, and more trouble arose.
The family of three still hadn't solved their hunger problem. They ate at Chen Lichun's house for over a month. Then, in the spring, Chen Lixin and Yumei went to the fields to get iron hooks for the villagers to dig up the corn stalks left on the ridges, which were the roots of the corn.
Then she gave the money to Chen Lichun for meals at her house.
Then the three of them moved out of the sister-in-law's house and rented a place to live separately. When your mother-in-law and son were living together, that was the reason she took her son and ran away! This is what I later heard from the sister-in-law's mother-in-law.
Then Chen Lixin went to work in another factory. His mother-in-law started saying she was going to remarry, and then bought Chen Lixin a pedicab so he could collect scrap and earn money.
But after waiting and waiting, there was still no response. The old woman had moved to a new village to a family that raised broiler chickens. The old man had a son, but this family could do nothing about the old woman's four great vices (smoking, drinking, playing mahjong, and wearing new clothes).
This old lady is no pushover in the family. Not only did she instigate her son's marriage for her own benefit, but she also tried to influence her youngest daughter, Chen Lixia's, marriage. Chen Lixia currently has two sons, one seven or eight years old and the other four or five years old, along with her mother-in-law and husband. The mother-in-law also has four other sons and two sisters, and there have been problems with their care. As a result, the brothers are constantly fighting with Chen Lixia and her husband, making their lives miserable.
It is said that Chen Lixia attempted suicide by overdosing on medication, but her husband discovered her in time and saved her life.
Later, her widowed mother-in-law found out about her family's situation and then instigated her youngest daughter to divorce, but the divorced man refused, saying that he would retaliate against them if they divorced.
As a result, Chen Lixia abandoned her two sons and ran away, secretly living with another man. It was later learned that Chen Lixia had given birth to a daughter and a son with this second man.
Her ex-husband is a real scoundrel. When he couldn't find Chen Lixia several times, he secretly went out to meet other women, and even seduced Yang Yumei, a relative.
That day, Xiao Sisi got a fever. Chen Lichun's family didn't have any antipyretics, nor did Yu Mei's family. Yu Mei's family didn't have any antipyretics either, and she didn't have a single penny to buy antipyretics at the pharmacy. Her older sister didn't have any money to lend her either. Xiao Sisi's face was getting redder and redder as she watched.
Anxious and distraught, Yu Mei asked Chen Lixin to call his remarried mother to borrow some money for medicine. The call went through, but his remarried mother replied, "Lixin, you need to figure out if this little Sisi is your biological child. I only recognize the eldest Chen Sisi in my family. So until you figure out this little Sisi, I won't lend you a single penny for this bastard's medicine."
He hung up the phone after speaking. Chen Lixin was dumbfounded. Why wasn't Xiao Sisi the little daughter he wanted? Was he by Yu Mei's side the whole time she was pregnant with their second child?
Then, the eldest sister, Chen Lichun, took out three yuan and gave it to Chen Lixin to buy a few "paracetamol tablets" at the pharmacy. After taking them for a few hours, Xiao Sisi felt better.
However, no sooner had one wave subsided than another arose!
Yu Mei's second aunt called from the other side of the city, urging the family to return immediately, saying that the eldest daughter, Chen Sisi, was sick and had been admitted to the city's central hospital.
