Ms. Qiao stopped before she took two steps forward. She wiped the corners of her eyes carefully with her hands before going to open the door.

"mother."

She pulled up the corners of her mouth, showing a forced smile.

Yao Shu walked into the room. She rarely walked into other people's rooms at home. She respected everyone's privacy. At this time, she didn't look around.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat opposite each other, but had nothing to say. Yao Shu was silent for a while before she started talking.

"Qing Niang, it's been several years since you married into our family, right?"

"four years ago."

Qing Niang was Qiao's maiden name, but it was rarely used. She lowered her head even more after hearing Yao Shu's question.

"It's been so long. I have long regarded you as my daughter. The second child is a nobody. If you have been wronged in any way, you can tell me."

Yao Shu speaks from her heart. In her opinion, there is not much difference between a cheap son and a daughter-in-law.

But these words had another meaning in Qiao's ears, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips.

"My daughter-in-law is useless. I don't feel aggrieved. She has been in the family for so many years and has not been able to add a son to the Shen family. Even if she is divorced, she should be."

Being childless for three years violated the rule of seven outings. She had nothing to say. She had long expected such a day based on Shen He's recent attitude, but what she didn't expect was that it was Yao Shu who came to talk to her about it.

"What are you talking about?"

The more Yao Shu listened, the more confused she became. She felt that her brain was running out of energy, how could she be involved in divorcing her wife.

Not to mention that the inability to get pregnant is not necessarily the woman's problem. With the famines in recent years, adults are suffering from insufficient food and their bodies are in short supply. It is really difficult to get pregnant.

She would never let Shen He divorce his wife for such a ridiculous reason.

After being stunned, Yao Shu realized that Qiao would never have such an idea for no reason. There must be other reasons.

When something like this happened, Shen He definitely contributed a lot. Yao Shu became very angry when she thought about what her cheap son had done. She slammed the table.

"The second brother is a worthless thing! Qing Niang, please tell me truthfully, has he been wronged by you? Tell me, and I will teach him a lesson."

"Mom, don't you blame me?"

Ms. Qiao raised her head in surprise. She never expected that Yao Shu would say such words.

She had never seen a mother-in-law speak to her daughter-in-law like this. Regardless of whether Yao Shu was just talking or not, even if she was lying to her, it was already very difficult.

"I blame you for what you did. It's not your problem. There are so many people in our village. Have you seen anyone pregnant in the past few years?"

"No, but don't you want to have a grandson?"

Ms. Qiao was very confused. You must know that her mother-in-law disliked her and her sister-in-law a few years ago. She was not happy and her sister-in-law was not able to give birth to a son.

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

She couldn't believe it, she was afraid that Yao Shu was using this to coax her.

"That was my idea a few years ago. I have long thought about it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. My son is so ineffective, so I am anxious about what I want my grandson to do."

Of course, Yao Shu couldn't directly say that because the core in her body had changed, she could only find an excuse to deal with it.

Every word she said was sincere, and Mrs. Qiao slowly let down her guard and finally had some trust in Yao Shu.

Only then did she speak out her full grievances.

"Chen He has been running out recently and getting very close to Widow Yang in the village. He seems to like Hu baby more and more. He even visited the house several times with the baby..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but choked up. She had held this grievance in her heart for too long, and suddenly she had a channel to vent her anger. She could not control it anymore.

"Uuuuuu, Shen Laoer is a heartless person..."

Seeing her daughter-in-law crying uncontrollably in front of her, Yao Shu was at a loss for a moment. She didn't know what to do, but she couldn't let it go. She hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and hugged Qiao Shixu in her arms.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she leaned over, Mr. Qiao pounced in.

For a moment, Yao Shu's body stiffened. She patted Mrs. Qiao's back patiently and comforted her patiently. At the same time, she scolded Shen He from head to toe in her heart.

If he hadn't caused it, this kind of thing would never have happened.

"Stop crying, don't worry, I will definitely teach you a lesson to vent your anger."

"Wow wow wow..."

Listening to Ms. Qiao's crying getting louder and louder, Yao Shu finally gave up completely. This coaxing was no longer enough.

That day, when Yao Shu left the second room, she was in a daze, and even her eyes were not as bright as before.

After a while, she recovered.

When she thought of Shen He abandoning his wife and hooking up with a widow from the same village for the sake of his non-existent son, she wanted to drive Shen He out of the house. This was simply ruining the family tradition.

But no matter how angry she was, Yao Shu did not forget to ask for evidence. She could not unjustly accuse someone.

"Lao Wu, come here."

"Mom, I'm coming right away."

Shen Fugui came to Yao Shu happily and looked at Yao Shu expectantly.

The young man's bright eyes made Yao Shu a little unable to resist, and she had to sigh, the Shen family has a good skin.

"Did you notice anything wrong with your second brother when you were at home a few days ago?"

"Ah, no."

Shen Fugui denied it subconsciously, and even the light in his eyes dimmed a lot. Fortunately, he thought Yao Shu wanted to show her Xiao Zao like before.

It turned out that it was because of something else, and he subconsciously helped Shen He cover it up.

But Shen Fugui answered too quickly, and Yao Shu noticed the clues. She was asking about something that happened several days ago. Most people can't remember it so clearly.

"Hurry up and tell the truth, you've learned to lie to me now, right?"

"How dare I? I remembered it wrong."

Shen Fugui denied it repeatedly. At this critical moment, of course he was a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist. He and his second brother did not have a deep friendship.

"I think about it, there is something wrong with the second child. He always seems to take things outside to eat."

These days, I eat at my own home and don’t go out with a bowl in hand. After all, everyone’s food is very valuable.

Speaking of this, Yao Shu suddenly remembered what Shen Bei said to her not long ago. Shen Bei also said that Shen He hid food and took it out. Before, she only regarded it as a trivial matter, but she didn't expect that there would be signs so early.

As for the "good things" Shen He had done, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Why did she have such a careless son?

If it weren't for the difficult times in today's world, she might have persuaded Mr. Qiao to break up and stop living with Shen He.
