I was a housekeeper in ancient times

My daughter had a miscarriage and there wasn't even hot water at her husband's house. Not to mention her own mother, even any passerby wouldn't be able to tolerate such treatment, right?

Lin Weiqiao asked about the whereabouts of the Wang family, and Xi Jieer said sensibly that they were all busy.

She was so angry that she laughed, "Busy? Are you busy or do you not care about your life or death? Even in this situation, you are still speaking for them..."

She was angry and helpless. According to the original owner's memory, Xi Jie'er had the same temperament as the original owner. She was honest and dull, usually quiet. When encountering anything, she would just swallow it down and bear everything by herself.

If it wasn't Xijie'er's first time experiencing miscarriage, she would not have been able to bear it and would not have been able to let her parents know.

She didn't have the heart to say anything more. Seeing that Xi Jie'er looked really haggard, she took good care of Xi Jie'er and helped her to rest. Then she walked out of the room, rolled up her sleeves, moved a bamboo chair, and sat in the yard, waiting for the Wang family to come back.

She was filled with rage. She knew that being a woman in this world was difficult, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult. They simply didn't treat her as a human being.

The shop is only a short distance from home, and she doesn't believe that the whole Wang family is so busy?

She glanced at the pile of clothes by the well and wondered if these clothes were waiting for Xijie to wash them.

She asked Xi Jie'er how she had a miscarriage, and Xi Jie'er just said that it was because she was not paying attention. It would be strange if she believed it.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw someone coming over, cursing, "I say don't think you are so precious, you have paid enough by lying in bed for a few days, you don't have the ability to keep the child, and you are still being pretentious..."

As he was speaking, the visitor saw Lin Weiqiao sitting in the courtyard, and immediately stopped and changed his expression, "Oh, it's my mother-in-law who is here. Why didn't you tell me so that I could entertain her?"

Lin Weiqiao took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing the anger in her heart, and looked at the old woman Wang in front of her, her teeth itching with hatred. "I came too late. If I were any later, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see Xijie."

"What are you talking about? Isn't Xijie fine in the room? Yuege'er is the only child of our Wang family. We finally had a child, but God was blind and didn't keep him."

"Is it God who is blind, or is it someone who is inhumane? My sister Xi has a miserable life. She raised a child but failed to keep it. She is lying in bed alone without even a servant. If you don't know, you would think that there is no one in her husband's family."

Mrs. Wang almost couldn't hold back and cursed back. In this fight, she knew that Lin Weiqiao had come to her house specifically to blame her family. She was not afraid. After all, she was married into the family. How could a daughter-in-law blame her mother-in-law?

No matter how tough her family is, they still have to look at her face, right?

Besides, she looked down on Xi Jie'er in the first place. She thought Xi Jie'er was like a piece of wood, stupid in words, and of low social status. How could she be worthy of her son?

If it weren't for the good fortune of my family, I could stay in the shop without having to serve others. If it were someone else, they would still have to do what they had to do even if they had a miscarriage.

She sneered, "You've never been in a shop, so how do you know how busy it is? Besides, Xijie has been gone for a while, and she has a weak foundation. She hasn't recovered in these days. When I gave birth to Yuege'er, I went to work in the fields within five days."

Sure enough, people will laugh when they are extremely speechless.

Lin Weiqiao smiled, "You also said that Sister Xi is weak, and can't compare to you, my mother-in-law, who is fat and strong. I just want to know, Sister Xi was fine, why couldn't she keep the baby? When other daughters-in-law are pregnant, they are all well fed and well provided for, but poor Sister Xi, she has to run around after getting pregnant. People say that families like yours are respectable, but I didn't expect that you are not as good as ordinary people outside."

Mrs. Wang looked sharply at Lin Weiqiao who refused to give in. She thought to herself, this is strange. Isn't Xijie'er's stupid look just like her mother? How come Xijie'er's mother has become so eloquent?

"Don't say anything careless, mother-in-law. We treat Xi Jie'er as a half-daughter. It's just that Xi Jie'er herself is a mother for the first time and has no experience, so for a while..."

Lin Weiqiao waved her hands, she was too lazy to listen. She knew that with such a difficult and overbearing mother-in-law, Xi Jie'er was treated like this even when she had a miscarriage, not to mention her usual treatment.

With such a strong mother-in-law, it goes without saying that the son will just blindly obey her. If Wang Yue had been a little tougher, Xi Jie'er wouldn't have reached this point.

She stood up and patted herself. "I won't waste words. Whoever gave birth to her will feel sorry for her. Xi Jie'er is almost dead in your house. I want to take her back and raise her well, or you will kill her. Your family can marry ten or eight daughters-in-law, but I only have one Xi Jie'er."

Mrs. Wang refused to listen and said arrogantly, "That's not right. We are not without people in the Wang family. It's unreasonable for a woman to go back to her parents' home after a miscarriage. If this gets out, people will think that it's our Wang family who mistreats our daughter-in-law."

"It's just treating your daughter-in-law harshly."

"Mother-in-law, please check your conscience. This marriage is considered as marrying up to our family."

She rolled her eyes, turned around and went back to pack clothes for Xi Jie'er, but Wang Po kept trying to stop her. The two of them started arguing outside the room and were about to fight.

Fortunately, Wang Yue came at this time and stopped between the two old women. He was in a dilemma, "Mom, mother-in-law, what are you doing? Why are you fighting?"

Lin Weiqiao grabbed Wang Yue’s hand and said, “Boy, let me ask you, is Xi Jie’er going to marry you or sell her to your family? Look at her, she has had a miscarriage and no one in your family takes care of her. If you are still a man, don’t stop me and let me take Xi Jie’er home to take good care of herself!”

Mrs. Wang was unwilling to be outdone, and she also grabbed Wang Yue's hand and said, "Brother Yue, don't listen to her. She is our Wang family's daughter-in-law, how can we take her back? If you want to take her back, you can divorce her!"

Wang Yue was being held tightly by them on both sides, and he had to stand in the middle and act as a peacemaker. He was really overwhelmed. He couldn't persuade or stop either of the two old ladies.

This farce was not solved until Manager Wang came back and finally persuaded the people to stop.

Fortunately, except for Mrs. Wang, everyone in the family is sensible. However, they are all men and do not know how much harm miscarriage can cause to a woman.

Lin Weiqiao calmed down and drank the tea handed to her by Wang Yue. She really wanted to take Xi Jie'er home to raise her.

Even in this era, a married daughter belongs to her husband's family, even if she dies. Unless the husband's family is extinct, it is not the turn of her parents' family to intervene.

She can ignore the secular world, but Xi Jie'er can't do that. If she really insists on taking her away, it will only bring suffering to Xi Jie'er.

Since both Manager Wang and his son were easy to talk to and kept apologizing, she just endured it.

"You regret it now, but what did you do before? If I don't make trouble, you won't take Xi Jie'er seriously? If she doesn't take good care of herself this time, what if she can't get pregnant in the future? Will you blame her? It's better to make Xi Jie'er plump and white. If she loses even a little weight, I will never forgive you, Wang family!"
