Back to that night, she flirted with the cold-faced rough man

Chapter 44

Chu Xianglan wasn't just saying this; she was speaking from the heart.

Although Bai Ying was an abandoned baby she picked up and was not her biological daughter, she rarely remembered this over the years.

She started taking care of Bai Ying when she was still in swaddling clothes, feeding her and coaxing her to sleep, raising her little by little, and participating in Bai Ying's entire growth. How could she not be her daughter?

If something happens to my daughter, and I as a mother cannot protect her with all my strength, who else can?

Besides, she has three sons. Losing one of them wouldn't be a big deal. Huang Xia still thinks she can control her? This is hilarious.

Bai Ying came back after sending someone away and just heard Chu Xianglan's words. Her nose felt sore and her eyes became moist.

After a day of fighting wits and courage with Huang Xia and a desperate battle with Chen Gouzi, she was already exhausted. However, in order to punish those who bullied her, she could only force herself to cheer up.

In order to seek justice for herself, she must not fall down!

But... she is not made of iron, she is a human being, and she will get tired too.

Seeing Chu Xianglan defending her so much, Bai Ying felt much more relieved in her heart. It was great that her mother always cared about her.

Bai Ying sniffed and said with emotion, "Mom, you are so kind to me."

"Silly child," Chu Xianglan smiled gently, like the warm sunshine, "I am your mother. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

"mother!"

Bai Ying raised her hand and ran towards Chu Xianglan, like a young swallow returning to its nest. After hugging Chu Xianglan, her heart, which had been empty all the time, seemed to fall back to its original place.

Since her rebirth, until this moment, Bai Ying finally felt that she was still alive!

She felt the difference very clearly!

Everything she lost in her previous life finally came back...

Looking at the affection between the mother and daughter, Huang Xia was furious. She snorted coldly and turned back to the west wing where she lived.

The mother-in-law actually wanted to kick her and her husband out of the house for her sister-in-law?

Huang Xia sat on the kang, feeling extremely anxious.

Although separation and expulsion from home both mean moving out of the house, they are fundamentally different things!

All the work points earned by the Bai family were counted together. The food rations and money obtained from the autumn grain were all in the hands of the parents-in-law. If the family were to split up, they would at least get one-third. If they were kicked out of the house, they would be left with nothing!

All the items needed for daily life have to be bought on credit from the brigade, and the autumn grain distribution has to be paid back before it is too late. There is not a penny left. How can life be good like this?

Huang Xia could not accept the latter situation no matter what. She thought about it for a while, and finally her eyes were full of determination.

Just wait! When her husband comes home from work, he will come to support her!

Although what she did was indeed dishonest, what man wouldn't protect his wife? Bai Ying, a sister-in-law who was about to marry off, how could she be more important than her, a great hero with a baby son in her belly!

yard.

Chu Xianglan touched her daughter's hair and said softly, "Yingzi, I didn't let your sister-in-law and your brother divorce. Just don't blame me."

"Yeah, I understand."

Bai Ying nodded, and when she let go of Chu Xianglan, her expression had returned to its previous calm.

It was still the seventies, not the era of later generations when divorces were more frequent than marriages.

The word "divorce" was still a taboo in rural areas in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. If someone really got divorced, they would not be able to raise their head in front of the whole village, young and old.

It’s not that transportation was slow in the past and a lifetime was only enough to love one person.

But once a woman gets married at this time, she has no way out. She has nowhere to go if she leaves her husband's family, and her own family will not want her. In addition, due to secular constraints, there are almost no divorces, but a lot of women die from taking poison.
