Little Aunt hadn’t come back yet, and they couldn’t find anyone when they went to Little Grandma’s house.
"Mom, did Little Aunt get a divorce?"
How could the two kids know about divorce?
There wasn’t anyone in the village who had gotten a divorce, right?
Could it be that the female supporting character mentioned it to them back then?
And they remembered it?
"Yes, because your former Little Uncle used to beat up Little Aunt." Xiaoxiao explained, then ruffled their hair, "Come on, let’s make dinner, your dad should be back soon."
A big man, halfway through eating, got called away, and afterwards, he was only given an egg cake to stave his hunger.
Probably starving by now.
After arriving in the kitchen, Da Bao asked again. "Mom, when can Little Aunt come back?"
When can she come back?
"Not until Little Aunt wakes up, we’re going to stir-fry some spicy sour shredded potatoes."
Or maybe pick some sweet potato vines instead?
But even after dinner was ready, there was still no sign of anyone coming back?
"Da Bao, go check at your grandma’s house to see why your dad hasn’t come back yet."
The two kids left, and Xiaoxiao was alone at home.
Little Sister Zhao finally woke up at the clinic.
Seeing her parents, she immediately burst into tears.
Little Aunt Zhao, seeing her little daughter had woken up, felt like hitting someone. She had been beaten and hadn’t even let them know.
"You fool, with such a big issue, why didn’t you tell us? Otherwise, why would you have been sent to the clinic beaten up? If you hadn’t woken up, we would have had to send you to the county hospital."
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry....."
Little Sister Zhao could not be discharged from the hospital for the time being.
And the family couldn’t stay at the hospital forever.
In the end, Little Aunt Zhao stayed to take care of Little Sister Zhao, while the rest went home.
Zhao Tianlei came back with the two kids.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and face."
Zhao Tianlei, smelling the food, was already extremely hungry.
Zhao Tianlei shared some follow-up news, "Xiao He dragged Chen Laosi off to get a divorce and even demanded the Chen Family compensate for medical and nourishment expenses."
So you mean, after they brought the furniture back, they went to the Chen Family for these expenses?
"Little Bao came back saying that Little Sister woke up, but she still can’t leave the hospital."
Xiaoxiao brought up another matter, "Now all the members of the commune know about this, and they’ll be discussing it for quite some time."
Divorces in this era were rare.
But divorces were not uncommon among the Educated Youth moving back to the city.
"Mom, we’ve finished eating, can we go out to play?"
After they had gone, Xiaoxiao lowered her voice and said, "Earlier I pinned the blame of not being able to have kids on Chen Laosi’s head. We stick to that story, you spread the word that Chen Laosi can’t have kids, he was afraid of losing face as a man, that’s why he hit Little Aunt."
Zhao Tianlei saw his wife devising plans for his little cousin.
"I was just angry today and that’s why I acted out."
Xiaoxiao was a bit confused as she looked towards him?
"You’re not scared, are you?"
Zhao Tianlei didn’t dare to look at Xiaoxiao, worried about this very issue.
Only when he finally understood did he feel anxious all afternoon.
"So you did see me hitting someone?"
Zhao Tianlei would say that his little uncle and aunt, even his dad, were talking about it.
It was also because the wife was there that Little Aunt and the others didn’t get hurt by the Chen Family women.
