Chapter 383 Cunning
It has to be said that Xu's end in such a miserable situation was all because she was foolish.
In the Meng family, if you don’t talk about gold and silver, you will at least have no worries about food and drink. Moreover, Xu’s sons are still filial, so their daughter-in-law usually has to flatter her. It can be said that life is very comfortable. If she hadn’t committed suicide and annoyed everyone all day long, she would not have ended up being driven back to her parents’ home at the age of being driven back.
When they were just driven back to the Xu family, the Xu family was quite kind to Xu, and they stood up for her in their words and accused the Meng family of ruthlessness and ungratefulness. This was done in order to dispel Xu's vigilance and dig out more than a dozen taels of private money she had hidden in the past few years from her hands.
The Xu family has been timid from old age to young people. They are very whispering, but none of them are willing to come out and go to the Meng family to ask for an explanation for Xu: They are Xu's family members, and whether they have any objections to the Meng family's actions or not, they are necessary to do this.
This is not only to confirm whether the Meng family bullies Xu, but more to outsiders, making it seem like it is not easy to bully or that the Xu family’s daughter is driven back to her parents’ home because of her virtue. Otherwise, if there is a aunt who is driven back to her parents’ home due to her virtue, the Xu family’s face is not good.
But Xu was stupid and could not see through the sinister intentions of her mother's family. Seeing them standing by her side, she was very moved and felt that this was her relative and that the Meng family was full of tragic things. So when the couple made an excuse that they were tight and needed to borrow money to do business, she borrowed it without hesitation.
In this way, just over the past month, the silver on Xu was "borrowed" by the couple under various excuses, so when Xu realized something was wrong, she lost the last penny.
Seeing that they could no longer squeeze oil from Xu's hands, the couple immediately changed their faces. They rushed Xu from the main house to the kitchen to sleep, but also asked her to get up early every day to sweep the floor, wash clothes and cook firewood... In short, all the housework fell on Xu's body, and they treated her as an old mother. The daily meal was only two bowls of porridge, and they could not fill their stomachs and would not resist hunger.
It was not until this time that Xu really saw the face of her mother's family. At first, she resisted hard, but the Xu family did not treat her as a relative at all. They disliked her for being driven home at a very old age. They beat her hard and then beat her up to be honest.
Every time she endured hunger and couldn't get up from bed, Xu missed the days of being arrogant and prosperous in the Meng family. After that, while the Xu family was not paying attention, she secretly ran to the Meng family, hoping to ask for the forgiveness of uncle Meng. Uncle Meng was unwilling to do anything and insisted on driving her away despite the dissuasion of several sons.
Xu had nowhere to go and had to return to the Xu family. After the Xu family knew that she had run back to the Meng family for help, her attitude towards her became worse and worse. She would beat her every now and then. Even the grandson of the Xu family, who was only four or five years old, would kick her from time to time for fun.
The more ruthless the Xu family was, the more she missed the Meng family. She gradually began to reflect on her actions and finally realized that she had been a bastard, but it was too late to regret it. She secretly ran back to the Meng family several times, but still failed to get the understanding of Meng uncle.
Xu knew very well that if she continued like this, she would die in the Xu family and not have a good end. Therefore, she knew that Sang Ye and others would go to the Meng family to pay New Year's greetings today, and she once again secretly touched the Meng family while the Xu family was not paying attention, and there was a scene of kneeling down to Sang Ye.
After being ruthlessly betrayed by her mother's family, Xu finally understood a little. She knew that today was her last chance. If she didn't get the understanding of Sang Ye and Meng's uncle, she would really have to die. Even if she was killed in the Meng family today, she would not go back to the Xu family again.
"If I had known today, why would I have to be there..." Seeing that Xu refused to get up, Sang Ye's expression became extremely complicated.
She could see that Xu really regretted it and knew that she was wrong, but the harm had been caused, so she asked herself that she could not do it.
Xu's whole body trembled, and his forehead hit the ground harder, making a "dongdong" sound, one after another.
Sang Ye felt uncomfortable when he heard this. He turned around and said to the expressionless uncle Meng, who was opposite him, and said, "Uncle, this is your family background. I should not be intervened by me, a junior. No matter what decision you make, I have no objection and will not affect the relationship between our two families."
She couldn't figure out what Mr. Meng thought, and didn't know whether he refused to let Mr. Xu come back, whether he was considering the feelings of the couple, or did not want to recognize Mr. Xu as his wife. She couldn't forgive Mr. Xu, but she couldn't bear to put Mr. Meng, the elder, in a dilemma. She could only let Mr. Meng make his own decision without interfering.
After all, the one who hurts Xu's actions the most was that Xu had done. Xu had no major consequences to the Meng family. Now that Xu has fallen into such a miserable situation, most of the Meng family are afraid that Xu can come back. No matter what decision Meng uncle makes, she will not have any objection, but she will not accept Xu in her heart.
"Ah, wife Alin, you, what you said is the truth?" Uncle Meng looked at Sang Ye suddenly, unable to believe what he heard.
Seeing this, Sang Ye didn't know that as she guessed, Meng Dadi was indeed worried about her and refused to let Xu enter the door. Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved and said goodbye to Meng Dadi: "Today is not the time. Since my uncle's family has housework to deal with, we will go back first. I will come to visit my uncle in the future."
This indirectly shows that what she said before was the truth. After that, she winked at the Ma couple and asked them if they wanted to go back together.
Naturally, Ma Shi would not be so eyebrow-less. She pulled Duohua and the brothers and sisters to smile at Uncle Meng and said, "Uncle, then we are back too. Come and visit you in a few days!"
Zheng Shanqing echoed on the side, looking like he didn't want to participate in the Meng family affairs.
Looking at the kind nephews and nephews, Uncle Meng turned around and wiped them with tears in his eyes before saying, "Okay, okay, I won't keep you. I will go to your house in a few days!"
As for what he would go to the Zheng family to do, everyone present knew it.
Sang Ye and others nodded, greeted the rest of the Meng family again, and left. No one paid attention to Xu, who was still kneeling on the ground, but had already foolishly forgotten to kowtow again.
...
"Sister-in-law, what if my uncle is soft-hearted and let Xu come back?" On the ox cart, Ma asked Sang Ye tentatively.
In Ma's eyes, Sang Ye's sister-in-law is not a person who can repay grudges with kindness. She always feels that she has not taken the opportunity to completely drive Xu away, which is not like her behavior.
Looking at Ma, who was gossiped, Sang Ye was speechless: "Whether to let Xu come back is indeed the business of my uncle's family and it has nothing to do with me. I, a junior, do not have the right to control my uncle's decision."
When Ma heard this, he said anxiously: "Why is it okay? Then Xu bullied you and was driven back to his parents' home by his uncle. As long as you refuse to forgive Xu, his uncle will definitely not let Xu come back."
Seeing Ma's reaction so much, Sang Ye couldn't help but feel amused: "Can't you see that your uncle is already soft-hearted? No matter how Xu is, he has been married to her for decades, so his uncle cannot have no feelings for her. My uncle had taken care of me before and refused to let Xu enter the door. Now Xu is so miserable. If I continue to hold on, would I let my uncle die alone?"
Ma Shi had nothing to say. She asked herself that if it were her, she might not have been able to force herself to stop Xu from coming back.
Speaking of which, except for Xu, the other people in the Meng family are pretty good. Even for the sake of the mother-in-law, they can’t let their uncle have no one around them who knows the cold and the hot when they are old!
Thinking of this in his heart, Ma was still a little uncomfortable and asked again: "What if Xu's dog can't change his shit, and he's causing trouble for you like before?"
Sang Ye smiled: "Don't worry, with the lessons learned over the past few months, Xu dared not have any trouble. Besides, even if she is old-fashioned, I don't have to speak, my uncle will definitely deal with her first and will not give her the chance to appear in front of me."
Ma thought about it and felt that this possibility was very high. She looked at Sang Ye, who was open and honest, and was not worried at all, and silently complained about "crawling", but she was very envious in her heart, envious of her ability to easily let people accept her affection and remember her goodness.
When we got home, we were just about to have lunch. Sang Ye and others, who had been hungry, didn't bother to talk about the Meng family, so they gathered around the table and ate hard. After the food was almost done, Sang Ye slowly told the story to the two elders of the Zheng family.
Meng was so moved that she held Sang Ye's hand and said, "Good child, good child, I really feel wronged..."
Sang Ye shook his head: "As long as my uncle's family is reunited, what's the point of being a little wronged by me, a junior."
The Ma family, who was beside him, almost whispered, and silently complained about "crawl" again. He made up his mind not to offend this sister-in-law, so as not to be cheated and even say good things about her to others. That would be too frustrating and would make people depressed to death.
Meng didn't know what Ma was thinking. When she heard Sang Ye's words, she was once again glad that her family was lucky enough to marry such a good daughter-in-law. Fortunately, in front of Ma, she didn't pile all the words she could praise on Sang Ye.
The next day, a group of juniors from the Meng family came to pay New Year's greetings to the old couple of Zheng's family. Uncle Meng also came and brought Xu with him.
As soon as Xu entered the door, she apologized to Meng. After getting Meng's understanding, she then thanked Sang Ye, repenting of the bastards she had done before, hoping to get Sang Ye's forgiveness.
Sang Ye did not say forgiveness, nor did he say he would not forgive him. He only asked Xu to remember his words and not slap himself in the face in the future.
Before coming, Xu, Meng Daji and others guessed Sang Ye's attitude. Now that she saw that she no longer blamed Xu, she refused to forgive Xu. She was disappointed and had to accept it. This was the best result they could have expected, so she no longer made other extravagant hopes.
This matter was revealed. As long as Xu remembers the lesson and stops committing suicide, everything in the past will eventually pass...
