"Da Li, I know you have always been careless. You, a grown man, can never see the little thoughts of women."

"But, have you really not noticed anything about your wife's recent abnormal behavior?"

Li Dali was stunned by what his mother said.

Yes, his wife has indeed been acting a little abnormal recently.

I'm much more diligent than before, but I don't seem to be of much help...

He actually did less housework at home, mostly it was Da Niu and himself who cleaned the house. His wife liked to go out a lot recently.

Either she went to work in the fields with him, although she could not bear it for long; or she went to the river to wash clothes she had just worn the day before or visited other people's homes.

What's wrong with his wife? Has she always locked herself up at home and now she wants to go out for some fresh air?

If that's the case, there's no problem.

But since his mother brought it up, something must have happened.

"Mom, Qian is a little abnormal. She works much harder than before. But isn't this a good thing?"

After Li Dali finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong. His wife was right next to him, so why not just ask directly?

"Qian, if you have anything to say, just say it clearly. It's impossible for our mother to be so angry for no reason."

The string in Qian's head that had been tense for a long time finally broke. Why should her mother-in-law's actions be right? How could she live like this when this bastard man didn't trust her at all?

"Why should I prove my innocence? Since mother said I made a mistake, then let me make it clear. Li Dali, I am your wife who lives with you day and night. Do you still want to live a good life with me?"

Zhao was already impatient and immediately interrupted the argument between the two:

"Alright, I can't stand people like you pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth! Why are you pretending?"

"Qian, you have been acting pitiful in front of the whole village these days. Do you think I am deaf or blind? I believe that the Li family has never treated you unfairly. What are you thinking of by doing your utmost to ruin the reputation of our family?"

Of course Qian would not admit it.

"Mom, there is no evidence. Why are you accusing me? I have been married to Dali for so many years, and I don't think I have done anything to let the Li family down!"

Zhao sneered twice, she really won't cry until she sees the coffin!

"Really? I wish I had wronged you! This matter is easy to clarify. This afternoon, our family will go to the river to find the wives and girls who wash clothes and ask them about it."

"Let everyone tell us how you, the diligent daughter-in-law of the Li family, have ruined Xiaomei and her family these past few days!"

Qian was flustered for a moment, but soon calmed down. She had never admitted anything in person, so what was there to be afraid of?

"Mom, you really wronged me. Those were just their random guesses when they were gossiping. I never admitted anything!"

You are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with me?

"Qian, you really played your cards well! You neither admit nor deny, right? If you really regard Xiaomei's family as your own, would you allow others to slander them? Why didn't I realize that you are so good at pretending before!"

Qian was humiliated by her mother-in-law without any scruples. She felt ashamed and angry. She couldn't find a way to vent the anger in her chest, which made it difficult for her to breathe.

She looked at Li Dali angrily:

"Father, are you just going to watch me being humiliated? Are you still a man?"

Li Dali has a good temper, but that doesn't mean he has no temper.

He stared straight at Qian with a cold expression on his face.

"Qian Yingdi, tell me the truth. Today at the village head's place, many people were complaining that my eldest sister's family was a bunch of parasites, and that they were ruining the morals of our village. Did you mislead the villagers with these words?"

"Think it over before you answer me. It's very easy for me to find out the truth."

Qian's face was grey. This was the second time her husband had called her so coldly. Last time, she had no way to defend herself, but what about this time? What had she done wrong?

She was so frustrated that she just gave up:

"Yes, I just can't stand my eldest sister and her family returning to live with their parents. What's wrong with that? We are living a good life, why do they want to cause us trouble? I just don't accept it!"

When Li and Zhou Jun heard this, their faces turned red. Zhou Jun even clenched his hands so hard that veins appeared!

Li Dali was completely shocked. What kind of bullshit was this!

Unable to bear it any longer, he slapped Qian hard in the face.

"What right do you have to be dissatisfied? The house belongs to my mother. It's her freedom to let anyone live there. How can you, a daughter-in-law, have the nerve to interfere?!"

Qian was really going crazy. She was actually slapped in the face!

"Li Dali, you dare to hit me!"

"What's wrong with beating you? You don't do anything and still expect everyone to indulge you. How can you? Qian Yingdi, you must have been beaten a lot before you married me, why weren't you so tough back then?"

"It seems like you only pick on the weak! You really disappoint me!"

Zhao had to admit that when her son's mouth got venomous, she felt ashamed of herself. He was also very cruel, and every word he said hit her in the heart!

How could Qian bear to be humiliated like this? She screamed heartbreakingly:

"Li Dali, you are not a human being! I can't live like this anymore!"

After saying that, he quickly stood up and rushed to the door without hesitation.

Li Dali did not soften his heart because his family was his bottom line. What Qian did this time was really too much!

She didn't even think about it. Doing this would drive her eldest sister's family to death! How inhumane must this person be to do such a thing!

Zhao sighed deeply.

"Da Li, your wife has been very extreme in recent years. It's my fault as a mother. I always wanted to distance myself from her. As long as you two can live a good life without me as a mother-in-law, that's all."

"Xiaomei, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with your family. Your arrival only caused the abscess in the family to burst in advance. There have always been problems between the couple. Let's see if they can be completely resolved this time!"

Li Dali felt extremely ashamed. It turned out that the family harmony he thought was the result of his mother giving in was the reason.

"Mom, don't worry. I will never be soft-hearted this time. If Qian Shi can't sincerely repent, I can't live with her anymore!"

Zhao waved her hands tiredly.

"That's enough. There's no point in saying more. Go back quickly and keep an eye on your wife."

Li Dali did not go home directly after he walked out of his mother's house. He still wanted to ask around to find out what specific "good things" his wife had done these days!

Qian thought her husband would chase her out, so she deliberately slowed down her pace as she walked home. But she had packed her things at home, but Li Dali, the damned man, didn't even come back.

In a rage, she decisively took her son back to her parents' home.

Li Daniu didn't have the chance to run to his grandmother to inform her because his mother left in such a hurry and with such a tough attitude.

No matter how precocious and intelligent the child is, he cannot bear the consequence of never seeing his biological mother again if he does not follow his mother.

He was closer to his father, but he never thought of giving up his mother.

Li Dali, who was still looking for evidence everywhere, had no idea that a storm was about to come.

His family was torn apart...
