Dong Xiaohuan not only called Xia Tian, but also called Dong Xiaomao.
Dong Xiaomao shouldn't come, right? Li Xi felt scared when he thought of him, but he felt that since Dong's parents were here, he couldn't not come.
Dong Xiaomao's cold treatment over the years hadn't left any mark on her. She was already beginning to regret lying. The thought had just occurred to her, and she hadn't given it much thought. But now she was worried about how it would end if it was exposed.
She patted her chest. "It's okay. I've made mistakes over the years. Mom forgave me last time I broke my leg. As long as Dongdong is here, she won't divorce me. She's been treating me like a piece of wood or grass for so many years. At worst, I can continue to treat it like this. But if this thing works out, things will definitely improve."
Thinking of this, Li Xi was no longer afraid.
Xia Chu stood aside. These two people actually brought their grandparents over. Could it be that something urgent was going on? They had just said it was a happy event, but looking at the expressions of the two old people, it didn't seem like a good thing.
She approached Dong's mother and asked quietly, "Grandma, what happened?"
"Let's wait until your mother and elder brother come back." Dong's mother looked a little tired. Xia Chu stopped asking questions and gently massaged the old lady's head.
Dong's mother patted her hands, praised her as a good girl, and did not stop her behavior.
Mother Wu took a sip of water and found that there was not even a piece of tea leaf. She was very dissatisfied. Such a big house, yet they treated guests like this. These city people are really rude. When Zhenzhen's marriage is settled, she will have to talk to her about it.
Dong Xiaohuan returned with her brother and son, looking at the people in the room, somewhat bewildered. "Dad, Mom, what's going on?"
Father Wu glanced at Xia Tian, feeling very satisfied. Bringing such a son-in-law back to the village would bring honor. He leaned back in his chair, looking like an old man, and said slowly, "It's good that you're back. Today we have to discuss the marriage of our two children."
"Marriage?" Xia Chu asked in surprise.
"Why are you interrupting the adults? You have no manners!" Mother Wu was upset about Xia Chu letting the dog out to scare them, and she scolded him immediately.
The elders were all present, so Xia Chu gritted her teeth and endured it. She endured it, but Dong Xiaohuan didn't want to endure it, "Dad, who is this person? I've never seen this relative before, why is he so rude?"
Father Wu glared at Mother Wu, and Mother Wu nodded and shut her mouth.
Father Dong didn't answer this question, but looked at Xia Tian, "Xia Tian, your marriage is decided by your parents. As an outsider, I shouldn't interfere, but today I'm asking you, have you ever accepted anything from another girl?"
Xia Tian frowned, not knowing where to start. "No."
When Wu's mother heard his denial, she became anxious. "Why did you confiscate it? My daughter said it herself. I embroidered a Pisces purse for you, and your aunt gave it to you! Your aunt has admitted it, so how can you deny it? You seduced my daughter, and you still want to deny it?"
"What?" Xia Tian looked at Li Xi with a bad tone, "Aunt, when did I seduce that girl? And when did I accept anything from her? Explain clearly!"
Dong Xiaomao suddenly turned his head to look at Li Xi, "Li! Xi!"
Li Xi trembled involuntarily and hid behind his father.
Li's parents had initially been reluctant to visit the Dong family, after all, their son had been imprisoned because of his family. This had been a source of constant criticism, and Li's father felt deeply ashamed. But thinking of his daughter-in-law, who hadn't returned to her parents' home even while their son was in prison, they decided to come anyway, out of respect for her.
"Xiao Mao! How can you speak to Li Xi like that?" The furrows between Li's father's brows were deep, and even without frowning, his expression was quite stern. "Are you going to hit her again?"
Upon hearing this, Mother Li immediately turned to her daughter and asked, "Xiaoxi, have you ever been beaten at his house?"
"No." Li Xi shook his head.
Li's mother pulled up her daughter's sleeve and checked her neck to make sure there were no scratches. Unable to hold back, she slapped her daughter. "I've never hit you before, so why are you so afraid of him? Look at you, you're such a loser!"
Li Xi took a deep breath and dared not say a word.
"Li Xi, why did you lie?" Dong Xiaomao believed his eldest nephew and asked Li Xi in a cold voice.
Dong Xiaohuan recalled what happened a few days ago and snapped, "When has Tian'er ever accepted that thing from you? You came here last time to give it to me? Tian'er doesn't want to argue with you and has already hidden on the roof. Why are you lying?!"
Cheated by Li Xi? After hearing this, Wu's parents couldn't tell who was lying and looked at Li Xi.
Everyone in the room was looking at him, and Li Xi didn't dare to speak.
"Is what Sister Xiaomao said true?" Father Li pulled Li Xi out from behind.
"Xiaoxi?" Mother Li was already feeling a little uneasy. How could she not understand her daughter? With this expression, she was probably telling a lie. This damn girl, is the Wu family easy to mess with? Wu Zhenzhen has three older brothers and seven or eight cousins!
Father Li had thought of this, of course, and he pushed his daughter away. "She's from your Dong family, and has nothing to do with our family. You can handle it on your own, and don't come to me."
Li's father and mother said this and actually left. Mrs. Li, who came with them, felt it was difficult to leave, as her parents were still there. She glared at Li Xi with hatred. If this were to get to know, Zhenzhen's reputation would be ruined! Anyway, the Wang family was well off, so why not make the best of a bad situation?
Mrs. Li leaned close to her father's ear and told him her idea. Father Li nodded, thinking that this was feasible.
"Li Xi." Dong Xiaomao called out expressionlessly.
"Why is my aunt wrongly accusing me?" Xia Tian simply couldn't understand what her aunt was thinking. She couldn't just live a good life, but she always had to stir up trouble.
Father Li cleared his throat and, noticing the others looking over, said, "It was Li Xi who insisted on bringing my daughter out, and then forced her to embroider a purse and take it away. If this gets out, my daughter's reputation will be ruined. Your family will definitely take responsibility, right? Why don't we just settle this matter?"
Dong Xiaohuan frowned. They certainly couldn't be blamed for this. It was all Li Xi's fault. But she was her brother's wife, so she couldn't get away with it. But she didn't want to let Xia Tian suffer because of this, so she was caught in a dilemma.
Dong's mother, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up, "Li Xi, the Dong family can no longer accommodate you."
Li Xi looked up in surprise, "Mom...you, what do you mean?"
Dong Xiaomao breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiaotian, bring me some paper and pen."
Li Xi was in a panic. He was going to write a letter of divorce! When this thought came to her mind, she could hardly breathe. "Xiao Xiao Xiao Mao, I was wrong... I was really wrong this time."
Mr. and Mrs. Wu looked at each other, confused. They didn't want to send Li Xi back, did they?
Xia Tian brought out paper and pen. Dong Xiaomao thought about the divorce letter countless times in his mind, and almost wrote it in one go. After finishing it, he threw it directly to Li Xi and said, "Go away. We have nothing to do with each other from now on."
"No, I don't want it!" Li Xi was so flustered that she finally began to regret it. She tore the divorce letter into pieces. She cried and hugged Dong Xiaomao's arms, "Xiaomao, think about Dongdong. Dongdong can't live without his mother!" Dong Xiaomao avoided her and turned his back. She cried again and begged Dong's mother and father, "Mom! Dad! Please help me speak up! I really know I was wrong this time! From now on, I will never go out again. Please forgive me this time."
Father Wu, however, felt that they were doing this on purpose to get away with it. "You're doing this for me to see. My daughter's reputation is ruined. You have to admit it, whether you want to or not!"
"Impossible!" Xia Chu held back for a long time without saying anything, but couldn't help it.
