Chapter 65 -65 Woken Up by His Slap
Fang Xu thought, letting her vent might just make things better afterward.
Although Fang Xu was fairly decent to Sun Xiaomei, when it came to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues, he only knew how to play peacemaker.
He was a filial son and naturally timid, never born to stand up to his mother.
So the only one who suffered was Sun Xiaomei.
She forced herself to endure all these grievances, but her mother-in-law’s behavior became increasingly outrageous.
When Fang Xu was not at home, she would give her leftovers to eat, and they were even stale from the night before.
She also ordered Sun Xiaomei to wash their clothes, and she wouldn’t help take care of the baby when he cried.
While Sun Xiaomei was still in her postpartum confinement, she had to take care of the baby constantly, do the laundry, clean, and couldn’t sleep at night due to the baby’s cries.
Her health never recovered and even worsened progressively. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
She rapidly became haggard, suffering from constant back pain and headaches.
Fang Xu wanted to help her, but come evening, his mother would urge him to sleep in a separate room, ostensibly because if he didn’t get enough rest, he wouldn’t have the energy to work well.
Fang Xu also cared much about his job, so he chose to let Sun Xiaomei take care of the baby alone at night.
In this manner, Sun Xiaomei lived almost every day on the verge of despair and breakdown.
But even these things did not trigger her blowup.
It was only yesterday, after she was overcome by fatigue and fell asleep at noon, that her mother-in-law stealthily took the baby away.
When Sun Xiaomei awoke, she couldn’t find the baby anywhere, and she fell apart completely.
She thought her mother-in-law had given the baby away again.
She searched frantically everywhere and also called Fang Xu to join the search.
After several hours, the mother-in-law appeared with the baby, innocently claiming she had just taken him out for some fun.
She actually had taken a baby who wasn’t even a full month old out for that long.
By evening, the baby developed a high fever.
Sun Xiaomei was driven mad by her suffering, and she had a fierce altercation with her mother-in-law, shocking the usually domineering woman and challenging her authority for the first time.
This made her even more infuriated, leading her to hit Sun Xiaomei and then cry and threaten to hang herself.
She even used her own life to coerce Fang Xu into divorcing Sun Xiaomei, vowing to die if they didn’t divorce.
Fang Xu felt extremely troubled and, under his mother’s coercion, he asked Sun Xiaomei to apologize.
This time, Sun Xiaomei couldn’t bear to endure any longer; she absolutely refused to apologize.
Without her apology, the mother-in-law continued with her cycle of crying, creating dramas, and threatening suicide.
Fang Xu eventually became angry and lashed out at Sun Xiaomei, also slapping her.
Sun Xiaomei was jolted into clarity by the slap and proposed divorce, her stance resolute.
The mother-in-law stopped crying in an instant, pressuring her by stating that she could divorce, but she would have to leave empty-handed— the Fang Family wouldn’t give her a cent.
Sun Xiaomei had never worked and had taken care of her in-laws at home.
She had no parents or other relatives, and Fang Xu didn’t give her much spending money either.
Essentially penniless, if she divorced now, she had no means to support herself and her child.
But no matter how difficult, she had to divorce; she truly couldn’t go on like this.
Yet, how would she survive after the divorce?
What would she use to support her child?
Sun Xiaomei had reached a dead end, and it was then that she thought of seeking help from Lin Zhi.
After hearing her story, Lin Zhi felt sympathy and a bit of relief.
At least this time, Sun Xiaomei hadn’t abandoned her child; she hadn’t opted for compromise.
And she had finally come to her senses and chosen to divorce.
