Chapter 336: Vicious Stepmother
Kong Xingming naturally knew what his niece meant, and asked him to answer in the affirmative, so that he could get support from his eldest sister. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½?? Huoran? Wen a?n?en' On the contrary, his eldest sister is likely to object.
After all, Kong Xingming knows this sister very well who replaced his mother and gave them warmth and love for his brother and sister. From childhood to adulthood, whether this sister risked being beaten and scolded by her parents to protect them, or risking being beaten and scolded by her parents to beat them, she always considered and looked at the problem from the perspective of being good for their younger brothers and sisters.
But because of this, he didn't want to deceive this eldest sister who he respected from the bottom of his heart.
But fortunately, Yu Mingyue interrupted like this, and after a few people sat down, Kong Xingming also happened to avoid this dilemma and embarrassing question for him, and when Luo Zhengfen, who was sitting on the bench with a straight face, asked him to explain in a cold voice, he considered and told the current things one by one.
It's not surprising that the old lady would behave like this. After all, with the old lady's temperament that has always been strong and wants to save face, although she also listened to the analysis of Yu Mingyue's mother and daughter, considering that for the sake of Xiaojun's future, this is the promise not to care about Kong Xingming's disability in finding that object, but the old lady still can't accept such a compromised fact in her heart.
This already made her heart blocked, and the thought that if she hadn't known about this from Yu Mingyue's mother and daughter, and didn't know when Kong Mingxing would still want to hide from her as a mother, it added to the fire in her heart.
As a result, after agreeing to give Li Huilan a chance, she racked her brains and thought about how she would examine Li Huilan when she met in a while. But now Kong Xingming is running back by himself.
The old lady was so angry in her heart, and immediately felt that Kong Xingming didn't take her and Kong Mingfu's parents in his eyes at all, and wanted to protect that vixen clearly!
The moment she saw Kong Xingming enter the door independently, the old lady had already labeled Li Huilan, who she had not yet met, as a vixen. The evil feeling towards Li Huilan also deepened a little, guessing that it was not only Kong Xingming, but even Yu Mingyue was deceived by the cunning fox spirit to have a good impression of her.
With such an idea, how could the old lady give Kong Xingming a good face?
However, just when the old lady was planning in her heart, thinking about how to persuade Kong Xingming to give up such a woman, she was angered by the things that Kong Xingming said about Niu Guizhi later.
At this time, when Niu Guizhi, a thousand-year-old demon who made the old lady hate, appeared, the old lady could no longer care about Li Huilan's little vixen that only existed in her guess.
In fact, it was not the old lady who was angered by this news.
Although Kong Mingfu and Yu Mingyue just listened to Kong Xingming with cold faces, Kong Xiaoyu didn't have so many scruples, and when they heard Kong Xingming talk about Niu Guizhi and wanted to pretend to be pitiful and ask Kong Xingming for forgiveness at the beginning, they couldn't help but follow Luo Zhengfen and gritted their teeth and cursed the faceless woman.
When he got to the back, when he heard that Niu Guizhi couldn't do it and threatened the court to divide the old house and fields of the Kong family, he was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, and the unpleasant words scolded by the mother and daughter made even Yu Mingyue a little embarrassed.
After the mother and daughter scolded the ancestors of the Niu family for ten generations, almost all the ugly words in this world were used up by the mother and daughter.
When Kong Xingming saw that he didn't say the nonsense that Niu Guizhi made up to him, he was angry with his mother and his eldest sister like this, and he was glad that his previous consideration was right. If he said those words, he was afraid that he would make his old mother angry.
But even so, Luo Zhengfen, who was extremely angry and couldn't get rid of the fire in his heart, still spoke to Kong Xingming viciously, saying that if Kong Xingming didn't handle this matter well, let Niu Guizhi get a stitch and thread from the Kong family, and tell Kong Xingming not to take another step into the house in the future.
Luo Zhengfen, of course, said angry words when he was extremely angry. But this also shows that the old lady really hates Niu Guizhi's slut in her heart.
But obviously, this angry statement is simply not going to come true.
Because legally speaking, when Kong Xingming sued the court for divorce, it was on the grounds that Niu Guizhi was missing, and the court did sentence two divorces based on the effective disappearances provided by Kong Xingming.
However, according to the law at the time, in such a case, the court would not divide the marital property because the party accused of the divorce was not present. Not only that, but even the list of the joint property of the husband and wife submitted by the parties to the lawsuit will not be verified by the court law.
In this case, if Niu Guizhi does not appear in this life, or if she does not go to the court to file a lawsuit for the division of the marital property that year, then it is nothing.
But now, since she has threatened Kong Xingming to divide the house and land, she must have already found a lawyer or inquired to the court to find out if she can divide it, so she will let go of such cruel words.
Kong Xingming didn't intend to hide this matter, and even if he wanted to, he definitely couldn't hide it, so Kong Xingming had no choice but to observe the old lady's face while explaining these laws and regulations.
As soon as she heard this, the old lady was so angry that she almost fainted again, no, she scolded the guys who set this law fiercely.
But no matter how angry you scold and how you think it is unfair, what's the use, it's a law made by the state, and everyone has to abide by it.
At least Kong Mingfu, who consciously recognized the facts, thought so, so after seeing Luo Zhengfen scolding a little inappropriately, and all of them were useless words, Kong Mingfu scolded the old lady with such a call and continued to scold.
Luo Zhengfen saw that even his wife could only scold people without an idea, and then he cried and wiped his tears again, until he heard Kong Xingming say that he had made preparations, and this was to wipe his tears and listen to Kong Xingming tell him about his preparations.
Needless to say, Kong Xingming's preparations were naturally to use his married status to cut off Niu Guizhi's harassment of his family who wanted to divide the house and land.
This is not a perfect good idea at all, but now several people know very well in their hearts that there is really no other way except for this, and then their own side drags the relationship around, and then Niu Guizhi's slut will not be able to share how much money he will take.
However, at this point, although Luo Zhengfen was so stimulated by this string of things that he almost fainted again, he did not have the ready-made daughter-in-law candidate who resisted Li Huilan before. Not only did he not resist, but he didn't even care about the lunch that Dalong had already prepared for Kong Xingming to eat, so he urged Kong Xingming to hurry back to the city to bring Li Huilan back to her for a look.
said that it was a pass, but it was really an eye, because according to the old lady's current plan, she did not ask Li Huilan to have any academic qualifications, jobs or family background, as long as she observed for two days, as long as she felt that Li Huilan's character was not bad, she would no longer object to this marriage.
No, because the old lady lowered the selection criteria for her future eldest daughter-in-law, Li Huilan, who was worried all the way, followed Kong Xingming back and did not suffer from the old lady's troubles at all, which made Li Huilan surprised, happy and moved.
This shock, of course, is not a shock. But Li Huilan didn't expect that she, a person with a disability who was obviously not worthy of Kong Xingming, was not harassed and discriminated against by Kong Xingming's family, and they accepted her like this. And this also made her make up her mind in her heart, from now on, she will be more attentive to filial piety to the two reasonable, loving and kind old men, and Kong Xingming, who are both reasonable and kind.
Li Huilan was grateful, and she had a good impression of the few people she saw present, which was naturally reflected in her attitude towards them.
Luo Zhengfen and Kong Mingfu, looking at this handsome Li Huilan, who naturally has a gentle and quiet temperament when she laughs, although they can't turn a blind eye to the fact that she can't speak, they really can't hate such a girl.
Just when Luo Zhengfen was still wondering in his heart, whether he should let go of that prejudice and choose to accept this girl as his eldest daughter-in-law, Kong Mingfu already had an idea in his heart.
Kong Mingfu, who has always been shrewd, has lived to this age, and he can naturally see whether Li Huilan is acting, whether she deliberately pretends to be virtuous and gentle to deliberately please their elders.
Therefore, after observing Li Huilan for an afternoon, Kong Mingfu had already agreed to this marriage in his heart.
On the one hand, after he knew that Niu Guizhi was entangled with Kong Xingming again, he agreed with Kong Xingming to quickly find another daughter-in-law to tie the knot. However, on this point, Kong Mingfu's thoughts are somewhat different from Kong Xingming's statement.
The old man is not stupid, he actually knows very well in his heart that with his family's current power in Kapok, he really doesn't believe that Niu Guizhi can share the land of his Kong family's old mansion as she said.
What he was worried about was whether his son's position and mentality would change under the entanglement of Niu Guizhi's woman. After all, in the years when Niu Guizhi was still there, the scenes of the past that happened hurt so much that the old man still can't forget it. Back then, Kong Xingming didn't dare to gamble anymore because of the disappointment and heartache that Niu Guizhi brought him, even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance.
Therefore, when Kong Xingming talked about Niu Guizhi before, Master Kong, who was on the side, just had a cold face, listening and observing Kong Xingming's reaction.
It wasn't until later that when he heard that Kong Xingming wanted to use Niu Guizhi to get the old couple to agree to let Li Huilan enter the door, the old man's face was a little better, and Luo Zhengfen was relieved first.
However, at this time, the reason why Kong Mingfu agreed was not to think about completely cutting off the 1 in 10,000 possibility, but to see through the little trick that Kong Xingming had in his heart.
Going around in such a big circle and making such a big move, isn't it just that they can't stop him from marrying that girl named Li Huilan?
What does this mean? With Kong Mingfu's understanding of his son, he knew very well that his son really liked the girl sincerely. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been calculated like this.
This made the old man feel very good. But when he thought that before Niu Guizhi entered the door, he, as a father, did not fulfill his responsibility to help control the pass, which caused such an ending, so the old man did not express his position immediately, but behaved with the same attitude as Luo Zhengfen, and asked Kong Xingming to bring people back first and give them a look.
Later, after meeting and further observing Li Huilan, the old man's satisfaction with this eldest daughter-in-law was naturally another reason why he would agree with this family business.
The old man knows that his grandson Xiaojun will have such a gentle and virtuous stepmother in the future, even if Kong Xingming and Li Huilan have more children in the future, Xiaojun's life in that family will not be sad.
After all, the old man dares to be so sure, on the one hand, he sees Li Huilan's temperament; On the other hand, it is also because of Kong Xingming's understanding of Li Huilan's situation.
Li Huilan, who just turned 26 this year, is really a poor person.
Li Huilan was born in a very remote mountain village in Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan, she was born a dumb bar, and her parents, her father was a primary school teacher in the village, and later took a college diploma and transferred to the district middle school to teach. My mother was a farmer who couldn't read a few words.
Before the age of 10, Li Huilan's life was not bad, not only with her parents' love but also with her grandparents' love. But the good times didn't last long, when she was 10 years old, not long after Li's father was transferred from the village to teach in the local small county middle school, her mother slipped and fell into the ravine due to the rainy road when she went to work in the mountains, and she was gone.
Three years later, when she was 13 years old, Li's father, who was teaching in the county seat, married another woman. The woman is also from the countryside, but she is a foreigner who works in the county seat, and she was introduced by a matchmaker to marry Li's father. The reason why Li's father would find a daughter-in-law who does not want to be matched with such conditions is also because there are two old men in his old family in the countryside who like to be taken care of, and someone has to help the old man take care of the fields at home.
As for Li Huilan, who was sent to the city by Li's father to study in the deaf and dumb school at the age of 12, she will only go back to her home in the countryside with Li's father who picked her up during the winter and summer vacations every year and once a month.
Although the conditions proposed by Father Li are indeed harsh and unreasonable, and ordinary girls will definitely not be able to agree, but it is very scheming for Father Li to find this. On the one hand, the girl fell in love with Father Li's job, and on the other hand, she calculated that the old people in the countryside would not live for two years, and when the two old ones died, she would naturally be able to live in the city and enjoy happiness, so not only did she simply agree to the marriage, but also expressed her determination to treat her father and mother as well as her parents-in-law.
Perhaps it is precisely because there are fewer gatherings and more separations that Li's father can only return to the countryside to reunite with his husband and wife on weekends and winter and summer vacations, so Li's father, who was only 35 years old when he got married, gave birth to a daughter after marrying the woman for more than two years.
Then, it was really not a few years later, Li Huilan was not yet 16, and the two elders died one after another less than a year apart. Li Huilan's stepmother naturally took her almost 2-year-old daughter and lived in the county to enjoy happiness.
But I don't know if Li Huilan's life is too hard, or her mother's life is too hard, less than two years later, Li Huilan, who has not yet reached the age of 18, has just reached the second year of high school, Li's father was diagnosed with advanced brain cancer, and he went to the hospital for half a year, not to mention, the family's savings were also spent, and he was in debt.
Of course, this was said to her by Li Huilan's stepmother. Anyway, since Li's father died, Li Huilan, who didn't have a chance to go to the third year of high school, dropped out of school. Because her stepmother said that she had no ability and no money for her to study.
Not only could she not finish studying, but Li Huilan was also driven back to the countryside by her stepmother. As for Li Huilan, one is young and has always been weak. The second is that in her hometown in the countryside, whether it is the Li family or her maternal relatives, she can't find a strong, knowledgeable and calculating relative to help, and no one can have the ability to help Li Huilan, and from her stepmother, who has a lot of eyes and can act, she can win the rights and interests that Li Huilan deserves.
Since then, Li Huilan, who has become an adult, has lived in an old house in the countryside and has become a small peasant girl, resting at sunrise and sunset. And her stepmother occupies the house in the county, and she also owes debts under the pretext of Li's father's treatment, so every time she returns to the countryside, she has to exploit Li Huilan. In addition to Li Huilan's money saved by selling grain and vegetables, even chickens, eggs, rice, etc., had to be looted by the old witch.
Li Huilan, who was already sensible, thought that her stepmother would never be like this again. But she really underestimated that vicious woman.
Just when Li Huilan lived like this for nearly four years and grew into a 23-year-old old girl who had not yet come to the door to say goodbye, her stepmother came back with two middle-aged women and said that she had chosen a good family for her, and then asked Li Huilan to go to see the house with the two people.
Although Li Huilan is mute and weak, she has also studied in high school and has some knowledge, and when she sees that the two middle-aged women are not good people, she is reluctant to go.
Then, no matter how Li Huilan resisted, she was forcibly dragged into a van parked on a dirt road several miles outside the village.
At that time, Li Huilan didn't know that her stepmother was going to sell her, and she ran out when there was a chance left. Thinking of her little sister who was still an adult, Li Huilan couldn't bear to call the police. But he didn't dare to go home, for fear that sooner or later he would be sold by his stepmother.
Li Huilan didn't have an ID card because she was in a hurry, so she could only do odd jobs everywhere. Before meeting Kong Xingming, he really suffered a lot.
It is only after learning about Li Huilan's life experience that the old man is so sure that Li Huilan is a suitable person for Xiaojun to be his stepmother.
