Chapter 1983 Provoking Trouble
Chapter 1983 Provoking Trouble
Deng Wenjun rushed over and started fighting Zou Xuefei, but she was no match for her and lost.
Shen Xi found it both funny and helpless. Seeing her so angry that tears were streaming down her face, she could only continue to comfort her.
"It's okay, she can't say anything nice, it's not worth getting angry over. Women shouldn't get angry, it's bad for their health."
Deng Wenjun gritted her teeth: "It's a pity I'm too weak, otherwise I would have slapped her a few times and let her know the consequences of being foul-mouthed."
Shen Xi smiled and said, "It's okay. Even if we didn't slap her, we can still make her pay us back."
"How should I say it? How should I say it?"
"Do you remember that news story about the argument that caused an elderly person to have a heart attack? Didn't they have to pay compensation?"
"did you mean……"
“You were injured and hospitalized because of your argument with her, so why can’t you settle the score with her? Besides, it was because she spread rumors that it started. We can skin her alive. I’ll help you find Lao Zhou and have him handle it. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”
Upon hearing this, Deng Wenjun's face immediately lit up.
"Alright, alright, let's do it this way. I heard Zou Xuefei is broke right now and living a miserable life, I'll make her pay more... hehe..."
If she had just slapped Zou Xuefei across the face, she probably wouldn't have ended up in such a terrible situation.
Thinking about it this way, Deng Wenjun was overjoyed. She even felt that the pain in her hand bones had lessened considerably.
Shen Xi asked curiously, "Her salary is pretty good, right? How come she has no money?"
"You don't know, her mother-in-law is now controlling her salary. She says her three sons are being supported by their in-laws and that she has to pay for their living expenses."
“If she doesn’t give it to her, her mother-in-law will come to the school and make a scene. She’ll demand that she either give the money or take her son back to her own home.”
Even if she were to bring the three children back, it wouldn't be enough, even if she spent several times her salary.
"You know how proud she is, so I had no choice but to agree."
As a result, Zou Xuefei can only keep one-third of her monthly salary. And of that one-third, after paying rent, utilities, and daily living expenses, there's nothing left.
"Doesn't she still have a husband?"
"Don't even mention it. Her husband is a mama's boy. He hands over his salary to his mother, but not to her."
Before, when she lived with her in-laws, Zou Xuefei didn't spend a penny of her salary. She could even keep some for herself and occasionally ask her husband to buy her things. Life was so comfortable.
Ever since threatening to jump off a building with her mother-in-law and completely falling out with her, Zou Xuefei and her husband moved out of her in-laws' house and rented a place on their own. Their life there is best left unmentioned.
The idyllic days without the constraints of in-laws that I had imagined never materialized; instead, everything was a mess of trivialities and petty squabbles.
We have to do all the housework ourselves, and we can't afford to hire a housekeeper or her husband.
Now that she can't even keep her own salary, you can imagine how unhappy she is.
She was unhappy, so of course she wished all the women in the world were like her. For example, she hated Shen Xi the most. She used to think that, putting aside other aspects, at least Shen Xi was more fertile than Shen Xi.
Shen Xi has been married for so many years and only has one daughter who is a financial burden, while Zou Xuefei has three sons in a row.
Considering that Shen Xi has had a daughter for so many years without any further pregnancies, it's likely she can't have any more children.
This was the only thing she felt superior to Shen Xi, but ever since she learned that Shen Xi was pregnant with twins, that little bit of superiority disappeared.
She was furious, especially since her life was even worse than before. So, she was provoked by Shen Xi's second pregnancy and started spreading rumors about Shen Xi at school.
The story portrays Shen Xi as a brainless woman who tries to please her husband and disregard her own health in order to have a son, all because of things like assisted reproduction and fear that her husband will dislike her for not being able to give birth to a son.
Believe it or not, some people actually believe it.
In no time, the rumor spread to a small circle, with the speaker making it sound very detailed and the listeners beaming with excitement.
When Deng Wenjun heard this, she was furious.
After hearing the whole story, Shen Xi couldn't help but laugh.
She genuinely didn't understand why Zou Xuefei was so hostile towards her. In fact, she and Zou Xuefei had never had any particular conflicts, and she didn't know why Zou Xuefei always wanted to compare herself to her.
Compared to Zou Xuefei, Shen Xi felt insulted.
Forget it, in this brain-dead world, you simply can't understand what she's thinking.
Just like Zou Xuefei, who has received a good education, has a decent job, and her husband is not perfect but still acceptable, and she has three sons, most women could live a good life with these conditions.
But she ended up living like this.
But instead of looking for the reasons within herself, she becomes jealous of colleagues who have nothing to do with her. Tell me, who but an idiot would do that?
As Shen Xi continued talking, he saw that Deng Wenjun was trembling with anger again, so he had to offer another round of comforting words.
Just then, the door to the ward was kicked open.
"Wife! Wife! I heard your arm was broken? Who? Tell me, who was it?"
With imposing manner, Fan Like has arrived.
*
Shen Xi wanted to leave some space for Fan Like and his wife, whom she hadn't seen for several months.
Unexpectedly, less than ten minutes after Fan Like arrived, he made Deng Wenjun cry again, and then she threw a pillow at him and kicked him out.
After learning about Deng Wenjun's injury, Lao Fan couldn't help but mock her mercilessly.
"Look at you, so useless! Not only can you not win an argument, but you even manage to break your hand in anger. Even a three-year-old isn't as useless as you. Look at me, Fan Like, I can infuriate a whole bunch of people. How did I end up marrying such a useless wife..."
Very well, Fan Like has been kicked out.
Shen Xi was still waiting for a taxi to pick her up at the hospital entrance when Fan Like drove up to her and said, "Sister Xi, get in, I'll take you home."
Shen Xi noticed that he had two dark circles under his eyes, which were noticeably larger than before, and knew what had happened after she left.
Well, it seems Fan Like's mouth will stay like this for the rest of his life.
Don't expect him to change.
For others, absence makes the heart grow fonder; for him, absence makes the enemy grow stronger.
Ten minutes, just ten minutes, including the time it took him to go downstairs and drive out of the parking lot. He probably didn't even stay in the ward for five minutes. Tsk tsk tsk.
After getting into the car, Shen Xi canceled the taxi fare and fastened her seatbelt.
Fan Like started being sarcastic again: "Sister Xi, I'm not trying to cause trouble, but you're pregnant now, why didn't Achuan bring you over? He's so outrageous. Now that he's got you, does he not know how to cherish you anymore, or does he think that since you're pregnant with your second child, you won't run away? If you ask me, you should just give him a few punches. Men need to be beaten to become strong."
"Ok."
"Bang bang!"
Oh!
