There was a "bang" sound.

That was the sound of a head colliding with a tool.

A sharp pain shot through her head, causing Xia's mother to clutch it.

She turned her head, her eyes filled with resentment, and looked at the culprit.

"Mother, I need to teach this arrogant girl a lesson. What are you doing?"

"If you want to discipline her, that's between you and your daughter, it's none of my business! But, do you and that Doctor Zhong from the pharmacy have an affair?"

When Granny Li said this, her eyes were fixed on Xia's mother.

It was as if Xia's mother dared to admit it one second, and the next second she would smash Xia's mother's head with the cane in her hand.

Hearing her mother-in-law's questioning again, Xia's mother felt a pang of panic.

Since Xia's father passed away, her mother-in-law's health has been poor, and she often needs to take medicine to regulate her body.

For ordinary families, drinking this for a period of time is the maximum they can manage. If they have to keep taking the medicine, it will be a huge expense.

It was only thanks to Xia Mingwei's job at the dance hall that they were able to afford such a large sum of money.

Because her mother-in-law would buy medicine to brew and drink every few days, she, as the daughter-in-law, would go to the pharmacy more often.

Over time, I became acquainted with Dr. Zhong at the pharmacy.

Dr. Zhong is a skilled doctor and a very polite person. Sometimes when the family has some troubles, Xia's mother will go to Dr. Zhong to confide in him.

Dr. Zhong was also a very good listener. He always listened patiently to Xia's mother's story and occasionally offered her advice.

After a while, Xia's mother remembered this person.

However, Xia's mother was quite self-aware and knew her mother-in-law's personality perfectly well. Getting her mother-in-law to agree to let her remarry was out of the question!

Therefore, although she and Dr. Zhong hit it off immediately, they never broke through the barrier between them.

Now that Xia Mingwei has brought this up so casually, how could she not be furious?

"I don't care what she says, I'll ask you this: is what Mingwei said true? Are you really having an affair with that Dr. Zhong?"

Granny Li asked Xia's mother again.

Xia's mother wanted to say that there was no affair between the two, but the words just wouldn't come out.

Does this mean that my relationship with Brother Zhong can only be kept secret and lived in secrecy for the rest of my life?

This hesitation, in Granny Li's eyes, was the perfect proof.

Her daughter-in-law really did have an affair with another man!

Before Xia's mother could speak again, Granny Li slapped her.

"You little slut! No wonder you're always running off to other places and I can't find you! Turns out you've been out looking for some random man!"

"She was even pulling and tugging at another man right in front of me! Does she think I'm dead?!"

"I'm telling you right now, you want to remarry? Absolutely not!"

"You were born my son's person, and you'll die my son's ghost. Even after my son is gone, you must stay by his side for him. Stay by his side for the rest of your life!"

Because she usually took good care of herself and ate well, Granny Li's strength was considerable. As a result, Xia's mother suffered. Before long, Xia's mother's face was red and swollen.

She didn't resist, firstly because she was used to Granny Li's tyranny over her for years, and secondly because Granny Li's words had just shocked her.

Although she had known all along that Granny Li would never let her remarry, there's still a difference between knowing it in your heart and hearing it with your own ears!
