Chapter 94

After hearing what Xia Qingning said, Yao Hongmei was obviously stunned for a moment. After she recovered, she did not answer, but lowered her head silently.

Xia Qingning had expected her to have such an attitude, so she was not surprised. After all, Yao Hongmei and Lu Lidong were still husband and wife. It was impossible for her to stand up and expose her husband and mother-in-law’s past just because of a bowl of malted milk.

Her daughter was still young and could not have another child. In the future, both mother and daughter had to rely on her husband. How could she tear her face with her husband’s family for an outsider like her? For

people like Yao Hongmei, it is their nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. First of all, they have to put themselves in a safe position before they can talk about morality and justice.

Although they have these clear cognitions, Xia Qingning was still a little disappointed, but she was not in a hurry to force her to explain anything now.

Forcing a person to do something is the most unwise thing. She had a plan in her mind. As long as she followed her plan step by step, Yao Hongmei would stand up and reveal the truth in front of everyone even if she didn’t force it.

“Okay then.” Xia Qingning said seemingly helplessly, and then continued:

“You take a rest first, I’ll go get you something to eat.”

After saying this calmly, Xia Qingning took a few bowls and walked out.

Yao Hongmei looked at Xia Qingning’s back, and her guilt deepened.

Xia Qingning estimated that the two had been hungry for a day, and it would take too long to cook now. She thought about it and decided to make a bowl of noodles for them.

Usually at this time, the two would practice riding together. Lu Jingzhe saw Xia Qingning go to the kitchen. When he walked over, he saw that she had already started a fire to prepare for cooking. Lu Jingzhe asked her in confusion why she was cooking dinner so early.

Xia Qingning did not hide it and told him directly that Yao Hongmei and Yingying had not eaten for a day.

After hearing this, Lu Jingzhe frowned slightly, and said nothing more. He turned around and walked out of the kitchen and came to the yard. He saw him straddle the bicycle with his long legs and ride out.

In the present world, Xia Qingning was not very good at cooking, but fortunately, he still had some memories of his original body, so it was not difficult to do it.

He took two eggs, beat them in a bowl, stirred them well, and added some salt. After heating the pan, he put some oil in. When the oil reached 70% or 80% temperature, he put in the egg liquid and stir-fried it. Soon, a plate of golden fried eggs was ready.

Then he boiled the water and put in the noodles. She deliberately cooked them for a while longer to make them softer. Then she put the noodles in two bowls, one large and one small. She put the fried eggs at the bottom of the bowl and dripped a few drops of sesame oil into it. Soon, the fragrant noodles were ready.

She wanted to add some scallions to enhance the flavor, but considering that Yao Hongmei had just had surgery and was not suitable for spicy food, she didn’t put it.

After a while, she walked out with two bowls of noodles.

At this time, He Shanshan, who smelled the aroma of fried eggs, walked out of the room. When she looked up, she saw Xia Qingning carrying two bowls into Yao Hongmei’s room.

She curled her lips and muttered, “You are just pretending to be kind.” Then she turned around and went to the kitchen.

The aroma of scrambled eggs had already aroused her appetite, and she thought there should be more in the pot, so she could have some. But when she walked into the kitchen, she found that there was no egg or even any noodle soup left for her.

She was holding her breath, and when she turned around, she saw several egg shells thrown aside, and the fire in her heart suddenly ignited.

She walked out of the kitchen quickly, ran to the door of Yao Hongmei’s room, put her hands on her hips, and yelled to Xia Qingning inside:

“You are so generous even though you are poor. You cooked noodles and beat two eggs for her at the same time. What’s your family background? You are so wasteful?”

Xia Qingning knew that she was deliberately making trouble and did not indulge her. She frowned, looked at her coldly, and asked:

“She is a patient, how can it be a waste to eat two eggs?”

He Shanshan snorted from her nose after hearing this, and suddenly laughed. Without thinking, she sarcastically said:

“A patient, haha, if you don’t know, you would think she has done some great deed and came back.”

These words were really vicious, not only rubbing salt into someone’s wounds, but also gloating.

Even if Yao Hongmei wanted to compromise and endure, she had reached her bottom line. Her face turned pale, her chest heaved violently, and she yelled at He Shanshan out of control:

“Get out, get out, go back to your He family!” She

was still not satisfied after yelling, so she grabbed the wooden comb on the table next to her and threw it at He Shanshan.

He Shanshan dodged the flying comb and angrily looked at Yao Hongmei who was out of control and cursed:

“Are you crazy?” Then she said loudly with a righteous look:

“This is my brother’s home. Why should I leave? I want to stay here. I can stay as long as I want. What’s your business?”

At this point, she suddenly laughed again, with a gloating face, and continued to mock Yao Hongmei:

“Haha, some people, now that they can’t have children, are still shouting here? If I were her, I would file for a divorce myself and then go back to my parents’ home, so as not to be embarrassed here.”

Hearing He Shanshan’s vicious words, Xia Qingning did not speak to stop her, nor did she help Yao Hongmei fight back.

Cooking for them was because she couldn’t bear to let the children go hungry, and it was also because Yao Hongmei had never embarrassed or calculated the original body in the past.

She felt that she had done her best, and there was no reason to help her now. On the contrary, the more excessive He Shanshan and her two children were, the more helpful it would be for her next plan.

Yao Hongmei’s face was pale at the moment. She had just torn the wound when she threw something with her hand. She pressed her abdomen and stared at He Shanshan with a pair of scarlet eyes, as if she wanted to eat her alive. She asked:

“Who did I give birth to a child for that I became like this! Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning for saying these sarcastic words?

He Shanshan, tell me, since you moved into this house, how have I ever let you down? I never said a harsh word to you, and I always tolerated you. But you took advantage of my absence to abuse my daughter and beat a three-year-old child like that…”

At this point, looking at her daughter hiding behind her, Yao Hongmei’s voice choked up. After calming down, she continued to accuse:

“Your mother left us mother and daughter at home without paying any attention to us. We didn’t eat for a day and begged you to help cook something, but you refused. Now Qingning has cooked for us, and you said that two eggs are too many. When you were craving for it in the middle of the night, didn’t you also secretly cook two eggs? How come you can eat them, but we mother and daughter can’t?

I know you are doing this to force me to leave and force me to take the initiative to divorce. Go tell your mother that I will never divorce. Even if I die, I will die in this family!”

“Don’t curse me, it’s not me who made you have a miscarriage and prevented you from having children. Why should I be struck by lightning?” He Shanshan looked as if you deserved it and continued:

“Also, how did I abuse your daughter? Don’t talk nonsense and damage my reputation.” At this point, she raised her head high, with a vicious light in her eyes, and looked at Yao Hongmei provocatively:

“She was disobedient, so what if I hit her? I tell you, if she doesn’t obey again, I will hit her next time!”

“You! Cough cough cough…” Yao Hongmei’s blood surged up and blocked her chest. She started coughing violently. After a while, her face turned red from coughing. It took her a while to recover. Looking at He Shanshan with a smug look on her face, her eyes were full of hatred, and she roared:

“He Shanshan, you are not a human being. You three mother and children are not human beings. I remember all the dirty things you did back then. Don’t force me…”

“Shut up!” He Shanshan, who had a smug look on her face just now, immediately became nervous after hearing her words, and interrupted Yao Hongmei.

Xia Qingning looked at the guilty He Shanshan, and she understood everything in her heart, but she didn’t rush to ask anything, just looked at her with a meaningful look.

“What dirty things, you, don’t talk nonsense, we didn’t do anything.” He Shanshan was very flustered, looking at Yao Hongmei without blinking, and she had completely lost her arrogance just now.

She knew very well what the “dirty things” Yao Hongmei was talking about. Her mother Wang Mingfang said that if Lu Jingzhe knew the truth, with his personality and temper, the three of them, mother and son, would have a hard time.

But the more you fear something, the more it will come. When she turned around, she saw that Lu Jingzhe had already arrived in the yard on his bicycle and was about to come in with something.
