Chapter 65
"Hmm, I'm sure Auntie's cooking will be delicious."
"Second Treasure will help Auntie with the fire."
Hearing Luo Ge's words, the two little ones obediently nodded their heads and spoke.
But the rest of the way was still gloomy, until they were almost at the doorstep when they stopped and grabbed Luo Ge.
"Uncle, Auntie, we will definitely study hard."
Their voices were childlike, but firm and resolute.
They must fulfill the promise they had made to Auntie.
They couldn't let down Uncle and Auntie, who had worked hard to earn money to send them to school.
"Okay, Auntie believes in you."
Seeing their seriousness, Luo Ge and the others also straightened their expressions in response.
"Mm."
...Now that they had returned early, after putting the things away, Luo Ge took the materials and went to find Wang Sister-In-Law next door.
Luo Ge told Wang Sister-In-Law about helping to make clothes, and Wang Sister-In-Law readily agreed.
"Just leave the materials there, and when I'm done, I'll bring them back to you."
"Come, come sit down, now that you're free, you should have no affairs, let us sisters chat."
Wang Sister-In-Law moved a chair for Luo Ge and smiled. She had heard a lot of gossip outside today and was eager to share it.
"Okay."
Tomorrow the two little ones would be going to school, and Luo Ge also wanted to take this opportunity to make two small book bags for them.
"Have you heard about the news from the village?" Wang Sister-In-Law couldn't help but speak up as soon as Luo Ge had just started sewing the book bag.
Luo Ge, who had just cut the pattern for the book bag, was a little puzzled.
"What's going on?"
"It's about Uncle Sheng's family. That Qian Momo's cousin, Li Zhaodi, has been divorced."
Ever since she saw that Li Zhaodi was allied with Qian Momo, she had not liked Li Zhaodi much.
Now, hearing that the other party had been divorced, she sighed a little, feeling that the other party had gotten what she deserved.
"Huh?" Luo Ge looked puzzled.
Li Zhaodi has been divorced?
"It happened just yesterday. Didn't you pass by their house and hear the commotion yesterday when you went to school?"
Hearing Wang Sister-In-Law's words, Luo Ge recalled the noises she had heard while passing by yesterday, blinking her eyes.
"I did hear some commotion, but I didn't go over to take a look."
"It's a pity, I didn't see it either. I only found out about it today when I went to do the laundry and the village women were talking about it."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Wang Sister-In-Law shook her head and sighed a few times.
Luo Ge looked at her expectantly, so what happened, don't just tell half the story.
"What happened?" She couldn't help but ask.
"Tsk tsk, it's her own fault, actually stealing money from her in-laws' family to support her own family."
"Uncle Sheng's wife is a sensible person, keeping things fair between the two households. Each household's private savings should be kept by themselves."
"Normally, that couple has been married for several years, and their living expenses are all shared, and they should be able to save some money."
"You should know that Li Zhaodi has two daughters, one about the same age as Da Bao, and the other a little younger."
"Because she herself is an unpleasant daughter-in-law, she doesn't even like those two little girls."
"Poor things, you can often hear the crying of those two children, and there are often bruises on their bodies."
"Li Zhaodi has also been repeatedly scolded by her husband for this, but she is just a stubborn person and never learns her lesson."
"That day, she didn't mind her own business and got involved in Li Zi's affairs, and was driven back by Uncle Sheng's wife. The next day, she was also not allowed to go out, and was asked to stay at home."
"But somehow, she ended up hitting those two little girls again at home. Rumor has it that she hit the older one in the stomach, and the older one was in so much pain that she couldn't get up. The younger one went to stop her, and was then slapped by her, hitting her head on a jar and cutting a gash on her forehead that was bleeding."
"Luckily, Uncle Sheng and the others came back and saw this, and immediately called the doctor. It's said that the scar on the girl's face will be permanent."
As she said this, Wang Sister-In-Law let out a long sigh, just talking about it made her feel so sorry for those two little girls. Having a scar on a girl's face, what would her future be like?
"Seeing the two children injured like that, her husband couldn't stand it anymore and just told her to quickly take the silver to get medicine for the children."
"But unexpectedly, that daughter-in-law actually said she had no silver!"
"After pressing her further, it was finally revealed that the silver they had slowly saved over the years had all been taken by Li Zhaodi to support her own family."
"This one thing and that one thing, really made Uncle Sheng's family so angry that they had reached the limit of their patience."
"At that time, her husband directly had someone write a divorce paper and sent her back to her own family."
"...That daughter-in-law is even more unwelcome in her own family, and yesterday Li Zhaodi brought her mother to cause trouble."
"Saying that they can't keep an idle person in the family."
"Of course, Uncle Sheng's family wouldn't agree to that, keeping Li Zhaodi would only make the future of those two children more bitter, although they can keep an eye on them, but they can't always be there."
"And if Li Zhaodi continues to support her own family, how will they get by?"
"But Li Zhaodi's family doesn't care about this, they just keep making a fuss, either wanting to send her back, or wanting compensation!"
"Saying that Li Zhaodi has been married for so many years and had two children, even if she hasn't made any contributions, she has suffered, and they want to trick some silver back."
"Spit! I don't know what kind of face this mother and daughter have to say such words."
Wang Sister-In-Law couldn't help but spit on the ground as she said this.
"Indeed, they are shameless to the extreme!" Luo Ge couldn't help but also criticize.
