And so, Ding Hu returned home with nothing, only to get a thorough scolding from his mother-in-law’s family.
"Spent so much money going out to work, but just stepped out and came back, not a cent earned, instead losing a few hundred! Tell me, are you even a human? You’re just like a pig!"
"You should really think about what’s the value of living like you do! If I were you, I would’ve died a long time ago! Bah!" Mr. Liu finished cursing and went for a smoke.
Liu Mei was also disgusted to death, wondering how she ended up choosing such an idiot!
This whole winter, Ding Hu didn’t have it good, getting scolded like a grandson every day, and was kicked off the bed by his wife several times, not daring to complain, being very compliant.
Today was New Year’s Eve, and he got scolded again by Mrs. Liu for not cooking the dumplings well.
Liu Mei said, "Just looking at you irritates me! Even on this festive day, you’re a nuisance here, get back to your own home for dinner and let us have some peace! Useless thing!"
Liu Mei’s parents didn’t speak on his behalf, they were very dissatisfied with this son-in-law, silent in nature, not quite up to mark, and most importantly, they’ve been together for so long and their daughter still isn’t pregnant! The initial reason for bringing him in was just to have a child, but so long after the marriage, their daughter’s belly isn’t showing any signs. He eats quite a lot but can’t accomplish any household tasks. Even going out to work he can lose money! Raising such waste is truly a waste of grain!
If it weren’t for their daughter being really unattractive and having a bad character, they would’ve had the two divorce long ago.
So, humiliated, Ding Hu was driven out, walking back towards his own home. A live-in son-in-law can’t spend the New Year at home, and since his place is so poor, probably without anything good to eat, he’s a thousand times unwilling to go back, but it’s still better than freezing to death on the road, right? So he walked towards his home.
He met Sun Lijuan head-on, but Ding Hu ignored her, wanting to walk around her, but Sun Lijuan stopped him, raising her arms to block his path, looking at him with a smile.
"Wait up."
Ding Hu looked at her in confusion, "What do you want?"
"I want to talk to you."
"Hehe, with the way I am now, what could we possibly talk about?"
Sun Lijuan laughed, "We’ve lived in the same village for quite a while, we’re friends, I’m just concerned about you."
Ding Hu suddenly lifted his head, glaring at Sun Lijuan fiercely, his eyes filled with hatred!
Back then, the one who egged him on to break up with Sun Chan and get involved with Liu Mei was this vile woman!
He raised his hand with intent to hit her, but thinking about it, if he truly did, and Sun Lijuan stirred up trouble at Liu Mei’s home, it wouldn’t be any good for him. So he could only lower his hand and try to walk past her.
