80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 423 Being a mother is too difficult
Cheng Cai stared at the unconscious Cheng Fang.

Looking back on those days of struggle, I couldn't eat or sleep well, and I even lost the will to plant the crops in the fields.

Many villagers have recently gone to the city to look for work.

He was originally planning to go, but she tried every means to stop him.

There was an older man in the village who worked at a floor slab factory in the city for less than three months before bringing back a wife from another place.

Young and beautiful, honest and simple, focused on living her life.

Unlike him, who is lazy and greedy, always thinking about whose family is eating well, whose woman has bought new clothes, and then complaining about how poor he is when he comes back.

Was his poverty something that only happened a day or two ago?
He's always been this poor.

When I first started following him, why didn't you say he was poor?
Ignore the child's crying and fussing; for a little benefit, she flirts with other men.

He even had an affair with Cheng Erde, and the news spread throughout the city.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, glancing at the machete on the ground. Was it used for chopping? It was too obvious.

Correct!
Use stones to change the location.
Cheng Fang was awakened by the pain.

ah---
"My leg! What happened to me?"

"Dr. Qin's wife broke your leg and threatened us, saying that if we dared to spread this, we'd lose our lives." Cheng Cai threw away the murder weapon in advance and shifted the blame onto Li Yingtang.

Cheng Fang screamed, "How dare she! Take me back to settle the score with her!"

"Go where? We can't win a fight anyway." Cheng Cai was genuinely scared.

Li Yingtang is terrifying.

He didn't even have time to react before he fell into her trap.

"Are you stupid? Can't we make a scene? Her family is so powerful, she's probably afraid of losing face and won't dare let us make a big fuss. What if she makes endless demands? You're useless. Even a dog is more capable than you." Cheng Fang cursed.

Cheng Cai's temple throbbed, and he slapped her across the face: "If you're so capable, why did you come to me? I'm telling you right now, from now on you'd better take care of the kids and the family properly, and I'll give you food to eat. Otherwise, you can die out there and no one will care about you."

Cheng Fang covered her face and glared at him.

Cheng Cai slapped him again: "You're still not convinced?! Fine, go back by yourself if you dare."

Cheng Fang's legs were in so much pain she could barely stand. How could she possibly travel dozens of miles by herself? She gritted her teeth and pleaded, "I shouldn't have said those things. My legs hurt. Could you take me to see a doctor nearby?"

Cheng Cai's anger subsided: "Where would I get the money? Just make do with the village doctor." If he gets better, great; if not, oh well!
Didn't that Liu Hua become a cripple after falling?
They continued working as usual.

Cheng Fang: "."

After resolving the problem, Li Yingtang returned upstairs and reopened the nursery door.

The child woke up at some point and raised his little hand to observe.

As Li Yingtang approached, he kicked his legs.

Li Yingtang smiled gently and asked, "When did you wake up? Do you want Mommy to hold you?"

The child rolled his eyes and continued kicking his toes.

Li Yingtang bent down and picked up the child, then sat down in the downstairs living room. The child couldn't sit still and arched his back, struggling.

Li Yingtang: "You never act like this when your dad holds you, but as soon as I hold you, you start to whine at me, right?"

The only response she received was from a child whose waist seemed to be powered by a motor.

Helpless, Li Yingtang had no choice but to pick him up and spin him around.

About half an hour later, Jia Yan returned from outside and immediately noticed the footprints on the ground as he entered the door: "Who has been in the house?"

"Two from the same village."

Jia Yan was skeptical. He had met her fellow villagers, whom she knew well; they were cautious and knew how to behave appropriately.

The first thing to do upon entering the house is to take off your shoes.

Wandering around like this, leaving big footprints everywhere, even following her fellow villagers upstairs, it's impossible for her to be on her list of friends. A quick glance around revealed that the paint on the wooden handrail at the bottom of the stairs was peeling off.

It looks like it was cut with a dull knife.

Could a bad guy have come to our house?
You need a key to get in, and the wall is high, so you shouldn't be able to climb over it.

He's probably overthinking it.

He smiled and followed up, "Why didn't you invite them to stay for dinner?"

"I had something to do and left in a hurry. You've finished eating so quickly?"

"Hmm." Jia Yan leaned closer and gently rubbed the child's face: "You're quite well-behaved, you didn't cry, did you?"

Li Yingtang: "No."

Jia Yan turned and went into the washroom to get a mop and clean the floor: "Yingtang, what would you like to eat?"

"I'm not hungry right now. I told Ah-Xian that I'll pack some of my favorite dishes when I come back."

Jia Yan nodded: "Give me the child, you can rest."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Li Yingtang handed the child to him, went upstairs to check the time, it was almost midnight, time to apply the ointment.

I just applied the ointment to my belly.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Yingtang".

Li Yingtang recognized Ding Xuan's voice: "The door isn't locked, come in."

Ding Xuan pushed open the door and entered the room, her gaze sweeping over the area: "What did you put on your stomach? Ointment? It smells so strong."

"Yes, are you all alone?"

“Jia Qingfeng is back, so I’m going with him.”

Li Yingtang was a little surprised. Jia Qingfeng? "Oh."

Ding Xuan reached out and touched the ointment: "It feels cool, quite comfortable. Your figure hasn't changed much. What's the purpose of this?"

"My figure hasn't changed much, but my skin is loose. From the side, my belly is bulging out, my buttocks are sagging, and my legs look shorter. Plus, my skin is really rough." Li Yingtang sighed, "Being a mother is so hard."

To exchange one's own body for a child who takes another person's surname.

Is it worth it?
So far, she feels she's been taken advantage of.

Ding Xuan laughed and said, "Really? Where did it collapse? I can't tell."

"It really collapsed. It used to be round and upturned, but now it's different." Li Yingtang felt inexplicably anxious when she thought about this.

Qin Xian comforted her, saying that she could regain her figure through exercise.

But she was still agitated.

Ding Xuan: "You're being too hard on yourself. I think you're recovering well, there's nothing to worry about at home, and all your friends are taking care of you. Uncle Li and his wife, Brother Lin's wife are all around you. They care about you more than your own parents. On the other hand, my colleague had no friends when she gave birth. Her in-laws weren't willing to take care of her either. After her maternity leave, she had to take her baby back to work, which was really tough. Because of her, the unmarried women in our office are particularly reluctant to find partners."

Li Yingtang laughed and said, "So that's why you're single?"

"Actually, I've started dating," Ding Xuan said.

Li Yingtang asked curiously, "When did you start dating? How old are you? What do you do for a living? What's your name? What's your family's financial situation like?"

Ding Xuan cleared her throat: "You know him?"

"Who?" Li Yingtang racked her brains but couldn't think of a single young man who would be a good match for Ding Xuan. "Don't tell me you've gotten in touch with He Fanzhi." She'd met him once before she gave birth, and he'd always kept his distance from her—what a coward!
"How could that be? I've barely even dated him. He's your older brother."

Li Yingtang: "." Ah? No wonder. She had felt something was off earlier; Ding Xuan used to call him Brother Jia, but now she was calling him by his first name. She teased, "Aren't you too familiar with him to notice?"

Ding Xuan asked shyly, "There will always be some, what do you think of him?"
