Chapter 177: I’m Going to File a Complaint
Things have their priorities. For this hard-won job, Luo Caixia didn’t dare to have any thoughts of having a child.
But without a son, she could only rely on Wang Hu to take care of her in her old age.
Luo Caixia’s feelings for Wang Hu were complicated. After returning from Lin Xiangnan’s house, she sat in the courtyard, lost in thought, her mind filled with a jumble of emotions.
For over a year, she didn’t know how many things she had taught Wang Hu, but he seemed unable to learn.
“Mom, I want to eat fried eggs. You fry them for me, nice and crispy,” Wang Hu said as soon as he got home, dropping his schoolbag. “Xu Anran had fried eggs for breakfast. I’m so jealous.”
“Okay, I’ll fry them for you,” Luo Caixia got up and started preparing dinner.
She was a frugal person and only fried an egg for Captain Wang, Wang Hu, and Wang Bao. Wang He was too young to eat fried eggs, so he only had steamed eggs.
During dinner, Wang Hu finished his portion in three bites and then went to grab his sister Wang Bao’s.
“Don’t do that. You’ve already finished yours. That’s your sister’s.” Luo Caixia reprimanded him.
“Just give it to him, he’s just a kid. What are you arguing with him about?” Captain Wang glanced at Luo Caixia with disdain and gave his portion to Wang Hu.
With his father’s support, Wang Hu looked at Luo Caixia with a smug smile, but he still gave her some face and didn’t grab the food from Wang Bao’s bowl.
Luo Caixia took a deep breath.
How could she rely on Wang Hu to take care of her in her old age? Even if she taught him well, with Captain Wang interfering, what kind of results could she expect?
“Wang Hu is the older brother, you shouldn’t teach him to protect his younger sister, instead you encourage him to steal from her. How can you spoil a child like that?” Luo Caixia questioned.
“Right now, Wang Hu is my only son, who else should I spoil if not him?”
Not only did Luo Caixia want a son, but Captain Wang also liked sons. Knowing that their situation wouldn’t allow them to have more children, he immediately blamed Luo Caixia.
“You’re useless, all you gave me was a daughter. Now we only have Huzi as the only heir.”
An only heir is unstable, Captain Wang wanted two or three sons, that way he would have more face.
Luo Caixia’s teeth were almost ground to pieces. Even though Captain Wang was a terrible person, he was still her husband, the father of her children.
She also wanted to have a son, to keep Captain Wang’s heart at home.
But now, she couldn’t have a son, her husband’s heart wasn’t with her, and Wang Hu, the youngest, was also unreliable…
Luo Caixia’s face remained calm, but her heart had been shattered for a while now.
She picked up a piece of food and said softly, “The hospital said that having a son or a daughter is not up to me. You’re useless, and you blame me?”
“I’ve never heard of blaming the man for this.” Captain Wang scoffed. “Back in our village, someone like you would be drowned in spit.”
“Why are you scolding me? Is it because I can’t give birth? It’s because the unit doesn’t allow it. If you don’t want to be this battalion commander, then I’ll give birth for you, ten or eight children, okay? You’re the one who’s afraid, yet you blame me…”
The more Luo Caixia spoke, the angrier she became. Why was everything her fault? As long as she was in this house, all the mistakes were hers.
“You want a son, right? Okay, I’ll go find your leader right now, even if you, Wang Shengli, want to defy the rules and have a child, ask your leader if he’ll approve it…”
After saying that, Luo Caixia walked straight out.
Captain Wang was so scared that he dropped his chopsticks and quickly chased after her, trying to pull her back. “Keep your voice down, who wants to have a child? Don’t talk nonsense.”
“If you don’t want to have a child, why are you complaining at home? I’m going to find the leader today and make it clear.”
Lin Xiangnan was in his own yard, gnawing on a chicken leg, when he saw the two of them arguing outside, his eyes widened.
People living in the family housing area were afraid of affecting their own promotions, so they would maintain their family’s face and rarely caused trouble outside.
Captain Wang was a man who cared about face, and he wanted to drag Luo Caixia back home.
“Don’t embarrass me outside, if you have something to say, go home and talk about it.”
Luo Caixia was unwilling. Since no one at home could be relied upon, why should she suffer under Captain Wang’s oppression?
As they were pulling each other, Luo Caixia stumbled and fell to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through her arm.
Captain Wang didn’t notice and still wanted to pull her arm towards home.
“Let go, it hurts! My arm is broken, I need to go to the hospital.”
Luo Caixia yelled those words, Lin Xiangnan heard them clearly.
She quickly spit out the chicken bone in her mouth and reminded him with dissatisfaction, ” Captain Wang, her arm is broken, you should take her to the hospital.”
Lin Xiangnan was about to pull her, but Chen Xiulan from next door ran faster than her.
Chen Xiulan helped Luo Caixia up first, checked her arm, and then scolded Captain Wang, “What’s wrong with you? You broke your wife’s arm and you’re not taking her to the hospital? Your heart is black.”
Other neighbors also gathered around, criticizing Captain Wang.
Even Gu Zhenhua and Xu Zhengwei came out to mediate.
“I didn’t know her arm was broken, I just wanted to pull her home.” Captain Wang quickly explained himself.
“Luo Caixia doesn’t have legs, she doesn’t know how to walk herself? You have to pull her?” Lin Xiangnan rebuked. “And she already said her arm hurts, you’re still pulling her arm, are you even human?”
Chen Xiulan also chimed in sarcastically, “The Women’s Federation just came to see you, and you still haven’t learned your lesson. You not only beat her at home, but you even beat her outside, what a big shot you are.”
Gu Zhenhua also spoke earnestly, “Old Wang, beating your wife is a sign of being useless, you can’t do this.”
It seemed like everyone believed that Captain Wang was a bad person, and Captain Wang was speechless. He gritted his teeth, looked at Luo Caixia, and ordered, “You explain to them.”
His eyes were cold and disdainful, with impatience and disgust.
Luo Caixia suddenly smiled, covering her arm and said, “What’s there to explain? You’ve already done this to me.”
“Xu Zhengwei, I want to file a complaint. Wang Shengli, he, he has improper conduct, he’s having an affair outside. He wants to beat me to death so he can marry a new wife.”
“Ah?!” The people around gasped.
“You’re talking nonsense.”
Captain Wang’s eyes were bloodshot, and he really wanted to hit someone, but there were too many people holding him back, he couldn’t get close to Luo Caixia.
Since she had already spoken the words of filing a complaint, Luo Caixia decided to go all out and reveal everything.
“Old Wang has been hooking up with that Liu Feng. Liu Feng is the daycare worker at the factory next door, she’s mainly responsible for cleaning the daycare center, they’ve been flirting for months. I was afraid of breaking up this family, so I didn’t dare to speak, but Old Wang became more and more excessive, he even started hitting me…”
“If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to investigate, see if Liu Feng and Old Wang are having an affair.”
