193 Ripples (5)
At this point, she touched her belly and said mockingly, “Continue calling me a b*tch. I’ll make sure you never see your grandson again and your son will be single for the rest of his life.”
Old Lady Shi was stunned by her words.
She glared at Li Hongmei and pointed at her. She stammered, “You… you…”
“What about me? Try scolding me again and see if I’ll leave!” Li Hongmei said fearlessly. “I can find a better man, but your son, hehe…”
When Old Lady Shi heard this, she instinctively wanted to scold her again. Old Man Shi’s face darkened as he shouted at the old woman, “Old woman, are you done?!”
It was not that Old Man Shi was on Li Hongmei’s side, but just as Li Hongmei had said, if she left, Shi Bangqing would probably be single for the rest of his life.
Besides, Li Hongmei was pregnant with their eldest grandson.
If they left, they would probably take their eldest grandson with them.
Another very realistic issue was that Li Hongmei was holding Shi Bangqing’s money.
Logically speaking, he still had to coax Li Hongmei for the time being.
After Old Man Shi reprimanded Old Lady Shi, he said to Li Hongmei, “Hongmei, your mother-in-law has a lot of words, but she’s still a good person. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don’t take it to heart!”
However, Li Hongmei did not buy it.
She sneered and said, “I don’t care what she’s thinking, but I’ll definitely remember what she said about being a b*tch and a vixen.”
With that, she turned around and left, returning to her room.
After she left, Old Lady Shi wanted to curse angrily again, but Old Man Shi stopped her.
He said coldly, “Do you really want Qing’er to be single for the rest of his life?”
Old Lady Shi immediately said a little aggrievedly, “I… I, how can there be a wife like her? She doesn’t serve her husband or her in-laws, but she wants us to serve her!”
“Do you think everyone is like Yuan Chunjiao?”
At the mention of their ex-daughter-in-law, the old couple fell silent!
Now, they had to admit that Yuan Chunjiao was indeed a good daughter-in-law.
Everything was done properly at home and outside.
She would take care of them comfortably!
However, they were obsessed with money and chased her away!
After Li Hongmei returned to her room, she came out a moment later with a bag. At a glance, she looked like she had dressed up meticulously.
Shi Bangqing frowned and said with slight dissatisfaction, “Where are you planning to go now?”
Old Lady Shi did not dare to speak loudly anymore. Instead, she muttered softly, “Look at how she’s dressed. She must be planning to seduce men again. Which decent woman would dress like this?”
Although they were whispering softly, their family was in the room. It was very quiet, so of course, Li Hongmei heard everything.
Li Hongmei sneered and said, “Ha, I’m indeed going to seduce a man. So what?”
With that, she swung her bag and left in her high heels.
Perhaps she was really afraid that Li Hongmei would run away, Old Lady Shi said to Shi Bangqing, “Son, why are you still sitting there? Hurry up and follow her! Wherever she goes, follow her. Let’s see how she seduces men!”
Shi Bangqing frowned as if he was deep in thought.
“What are you thinking about? Hurry up!”
Old Lady Shi was anxious and immediately pushed him out of the door.
Li Hongmei did not leave the village immediately. Instead, she went to the Shi family.
Li Hongmei was now the center of attention in the village. As soon as she came out, someone noticed her. Then, when they saw her go to the Shi family, it immediately caused another round of discussion.
“Li Hongmei has been keeping an eye on the Shi family for the past two days. What is she trying to do? Is it really Shi Liqiu’s turn as said?”
“Haha, that’s really possible. The youngest and eldest were about touching. Perhaps, he’ll just go to bed!”
“Then Shi Liqiu will be blessed!”
“Blessed? Is his wife not as beautiful as Li Hongmei?”
“I’m talking about him. Isn’t it good to have both women?”
“Alright? Alright, then go and try!”
“I don’t dare to try. I’m afraid of getting sick from that kind of woman!”
“Tsk tsk, if she’s really sick, Shi Bangqing can forget about living!”
Shi Bangqing, who had just passed by to look for Li Hongmei, was speechless.
It was really annoying. He could hear such things every time.
How infuriating!
However, Shi Bangqing quickened his pace. It seemed like he was going to catch up to Li Hongmei.
Li Hongmei poked her head out of the courtyard and was discovered by Grandma Shi. Her expression darkened, and there was a faint anger on her face. She walked out and asked with a dark expression, “What do you want now?”
Li Hongmei seemed to know that she was not welcome. She said awkwardly, “I didn’t do anything. I’m just here to apologize to you!”
Grandma Shi looked at her suspiciously and asked, “You want to apologize to us? Did I hear wrongly?”
Li Hongmei smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m really here to apologize. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have done that. I came to apologize to you. I hope you will be magnanimous and won’t take offense. Please forgive me.”
Grandma Shi still didn’t really believe that she was here to apologize.
She stared at Li Hongmei sharply for a while, then narrowed her eyes slightly and said, “I’ll accept your apology on behalf of my sons. Just say it. Why did you come to my house?”
