I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s-Chapter 191: Don’t Treat Me Too Much Like an Outsider

Li Qianqian’s uncle, Qi Mingshan, was about to kick the door down, but immediately Lu Shihao stopped him. In front of these big shots, he didn’t dare to call him ’uncle grandpa’ or anything like that, but respectfully referred to him as ’comrade’.

"Don’t, don’t, don’t kick it down; wait a moment, first let’s hear what’s being said inside. I did witness some unpleasant things when I came over with my aunt yesterday, but to avoid misunderstanding the wrong person, we should listen first. If it’s a misunderstanding, we’ll let it go, but if that Old Witch truly caused harm, it’s not too late to act then."

Ever since Qi Mingyue saw those photos in Lu Shihao’s hands, she was completely dumbfounded. She felt so much heartache that she could barely breathe. She had come to visit her daughter and grandson a few times before, and they seemed to be well taken care of at those times, plus Qianqian was always talking about Sister Yang. She had even defended Sister Yang before and scolded Qianqian for being petulant.

Now it appeared that she had been one-sided. Her daughter had a strong character; thinking about it, the words she said back then must have hurt her daughter’s feelings. Otherwise, why would Qianqian, after having suffered so much, still not let her mother seek justice for her!

"Xiao Luo, what you said is right. Like this, big brother, go and find a couple of comrades from the textile factory’s family members to come over as witnesses for us. If it’s a misunderstanding, we’ll go apologize, but if it’s true, I’ll make the Hu family pay this time."

If it weren’t for Qianqian’s lifesaver, who by chance thought of taking photos of the mother and child for keepsake, and if it weren’t for Xiao Luo, who knew the person at the photo studio who rushed the photo processing overnight, she might still be kept in the dark!

Lin Rong is really despicable!!!

Lu Shihao nodded and hurried off quickly. He soon brought back two female comrades. They didn’t know what was going on, but they came along anyway after receiving two packs of cigarettes. When they saw it was the factory director’s house, they seemed to want to back out, but before they could leave, a series of curses erupted from inside the house.

"Do you think you’re still some precious daughter, or what does it matter that you’re the County Party Secretary’s daughter? You’re a woman, and you should be aware of a woman’s duties. Once married into the Hu family, you should prioritize the Hu family in all things, respect and take care of your in-laws, and serve your man well. Look at you, daring to make your mother in law angry, being shameless. I’m telling you, don’t glare at me with those big eyes. If you were my daughter-in-law, I would definitely discipline you properly. Wait till your mother-in-law comes back, you better kneel and apologize to her. Get up only when she forgives you; from now on, prepare foot-washing water for her every night, and if the water’s too hot or too cold, and you don’t serve her well, give yourself a good slap in the face. There you go, glaring at me again – I can beat you to death. What are you looking at? You think you’re special just because you had a child? Go wash the clothes, and hurry up with the cooking; I’m starving here."

"Wuuu... my child is still crying, and I’m in so much pain. Aunt Yang, please be kind, for lunch you..."

"Don’t give me all that nonsense. If your mother-in-law was home, would you have let her cook? Even if you’re dying from illness, you should still get up to serve your mother-in-law. From now on, everything in the house must prioritize her. If she tells you to slap yourself, slap yourself; if she tells you to kneel, kneel down. As a daughter-in-law, you must..."

Granny Yang’s voice was truly loud, and everyone outside heard it clearly. Li Qianqian’s two aunts were so angry that their hands were trembling. This was the daughter that the Li and Qi families had pampered and raised; they could never imagine that their family’s girl would one day be treated so badly.

"Xiao Luo, kick down the door. Today, I’m going to properly discipline this old hag."

"Got it!"

As Luo Shihao later said, Li Qianqian’s two aunts nearly beat Granny Yang to death. Although it’s not good to watch the heated drama at the factory director’s house, since they came across it, they had to take a look.

Two days later, Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping came to visit Mr. Li’s house with their child. As they were about to enter, they saw Hu Jinbu with Lin Rong standing in the yard, not having managed to get in.

Qi Mingyue and Mr. Li had not gone to work these past two days, both staying home to keep Li Qianqian company. Hu Biao did enter, but what his mother Lin Rong had done also made him completely unwelcome in the Li family. He knew he was also at fault, regretting that he had left his frail wife and child at home while he went out, which in the end was somewhat an act of avoidance. Of course, he wasn’t avoiding Li Qianqian, but his mother Lin Rong.

When Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping entered the house, Mr. Li and Qi Mingyue were very warm, inviting them to sit in the living room. Qi Mingyue quickly scurried around the house finding food, drinks, and playthings for the four children.

"You see, we weren’t prepared at home. Xiao Hu, go quickly and buy some snacks for the kids, biscuits and shortbread, and also get some sesame candy."

"Aunt Qi, there’s no need to be so polite, really. Zhenping and I just came to see Qianqian and the kids. It’s good that they’re fine."

At this, Qi Mingyue quickly grabbed Shen Meng’s hands, choking up, "Child, I thank you, if it weren’t for you, I don’t know what state my daughter and grandson would’ve been in. Ah, I thank you on their behalf, Xiao Meng."

"Auntie, you’re being too formal. Since Qianqian calls me ’sister,’ I must protect her with all my might."

"Good child, truly a good child. Tsk, Xiao Hu, what are you standing there for, hurry up and go, can’t you see the little ones are waiting?"

"Ah, Mom, I’m going, I’m going."

Meanwhile, Lu Zhenping was already chatting with Mr. Li. Shen Meng suggested going to see Li Qianqian, and Qi Mingyue immediately stood up and took them to Li Qianqian’s room.

Although Li Qianqian is still quite frail at the moment, her spirits have improved a lot, and the room is clean and fresh. Even Little Baoguo is sleeping soundly now, though his skin has darkened. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Qianqian, are you okay?"

"Sister, I’m good, really good. Thank you, Sister Meng. If it wasn’t for you, I’d still be living an inhuman existence!"

Shen Meng hugged her, and gently patted her back. Qi Mingyue, watching the sisters’ affectionate behavior, knew in her heart that after this incident, her daughter had really grown distant from her. After all, since coming back home, she never hugged her or acted spoiled around her again. She felt heartache, but even more so, regret.

"You two sisters have a good chat. I’ll go see what’s going on in the kitchen."

Li Qianqian bowed her head and didn’t speak, until Shen Meng nudged her slightly, and then she said, "Understood, Mom."

After Qi Mingyue left, Shen Meng sighed and said, "There’s no feud between mother and daughter that lasts overnight. Have a good talk with your mother later. The only people in the world who can tolerate you endlessly are your parents. It’s fine to act out a bit, just don’t take it too far, okay?"

"Ah! Sister Meng, let me tell you, that Granny Yang is still at the Police Station. Yesterday, my mother-in-law was also summoned there and stayed for one night. After getting out, she hurried over to our house with my father-in-law. You must have seen her when you came, she’s now scared and trembling, apologizing to me. Hu Biao sent her packing."

Shen Meng raised an eyebrow, "Is Hu Biao willing to do that?"

"His wife and son were almost killed by his own mother. Of course, he’s willing. After he saw those pictures, he was furious, and he couldn’t stop crying while holding me and Baoguo. If it weren’t for my mom coming over and scolding him, he would still be sobbing in my arms right now!"

Shen Meng: "....."

Don’t make me feel like a complete outsider!!!
