Zhao Tianlei bragged, "My wife is incredibly brave and formidable."
Do you still think your wife is glorious?
"Wife, were you hurt by those women?"
As Yun Xiaoxiao saw people wanting to check if she was injured—
"No, I had a stick, I’m good at beating people with it."
However, after this battle, Yun Xiaoxiao knew that her reputation might have suffered a bit.
"Should I check just in case?"
Yun Xiaoxiao shot a glare his way, "I think you are just idle. How about a big clean-up at home?"
Little Sister Zhao stayed in the town health center for two days before she was sent back.
Yun Xiaoxiao carried a bag of malted milk and a pack of brown sugar, heading to Little Uncle Zhao’s house to visit.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao followed as well.
As soon as Little Aunt Zhao saw her niece-in-law arriving, and carrying a basket with her—
"You’re here to see your little sister, why are you bringing things as well?"
"Little sister is too thin, I wanted to nourish her body a bit."
Initially wanting to refuse, but hearing the niece-in-law mention nourishing her daughter, Little Aunt Zhao accepted it.
"Come inside, please come inside."
Little Aunt Zhao took the basket and warmly invited her inside.
"Little Aunt, I’ll go check on little sister..."
"Okay, Xiaoxiao, please help me persuade her."
As a mother, Little Aunt Zhao could clearly see her young daughter’s gloomy demeanor.
Yun Xiaoxiao was startled, "Little Aunt, I’ll try to persuade her." She had suffered domestic abuse; there might be slight depression, and it needed to be guided promptly.
She accompanied her to Little Sister Zhao’s room.
Little Sister Zhao was called Zhao Xinxin, originally named Xingxing, but the team leader thought the name sounded like a boy’s, so he suggested Xinxin for better resonance.
"Little sister, your third sister-in-law is here to see you."
Although Little Sister Zhao was back home, the rib fractures she sustained still needed healing.
"Third sister-in-law..."
Little Sister Zhao knew of this sister-in-law; in her memory: she was beautiful, delicate, and her third cousin cherished her greatly.
But she heard from her mother that if it weren’t for this sister-in-law’s presence at the Chen Family’s house that day, her aunt and others might have been dealt with by the Chen women, but with her there, her former sisters-in-law weren’t able to take advantage of her, even the youngest daughter of the Chen Family was handled by her.
Yun Xiaoxiao saw her complexion had improved significantly.
"We are family, these kinds of grievances, you should have told Little Uncle and Little Aunt early on, rather than keeping it to yourself; who says not being able to have children is a woman’s fault? It’s more often a problem with men."
Little Aunt Zhao was amazed at the sight of the contents in the basket—brown sugar and malted milk, both of which were for nourishing and were not cheap.
She placed the items near her daughter.
"What your third sister-in-law said is correct, Chen Laosi is the one who can’t have children."
This came up again upon her return.
It was her former son-in-law who was infertile, but to save face, he maliciously slandered their daughter as barren and even beat her.
Little Sister Zhao had always thought the fertility issue was her fault, and had endured because of it.
But now, knowing it wasn’t her fault, all her previous endurance seemed like a joke.
"You are fine, you just met a terrible person before. You can’t let this one thing beat you down. You are still young, still in the bloom of life, with many years ahead. We need to look forward."
Little Aunt Zhao gave space to the niece-in-law and went out to pour water for her.
"Little sister, I remember you are quite skilled at sewing clothes?"
Little Sister Zhao might disappear, her third sister-in-law said she was still in the bloom of her life.
