STEPMOM OF MY CHILDREN AND MY SECOND WIFE

Chapter 1 - Ridicule

Dong Jia was lying on the bed with a towel wrapped around her head.

Her face looked dry and thin, her cheeks were deep concave, her lips were white, and her eyes looked straight at the beams under the khaki roof, which was a little scary.

Chen Guixiang opened the door curtain and walked in with a bowl of egg soup. She saw the girl's eyes staring at the roof, and tears came again from her red eyes.

"You said why you jumped in river, why  you want to find death! If it weren't for your brother , you would have died long ago, so how can you not think about us...!"

Chen Guixiang felt pain and anger in her heart. She was accustomed to being pungent and could not soften her voice. Her tone was full of heartache.

Can't she be heartbroken? her good daughter, married when she was only 18 years.. as mother she thought her daughter would have a smooth and peaceful life. Who knew that after three years of marrying, she was driven back by her husband’s family without warning.

This sudden news caused the entire Dong family to be struck by lightning. In these years, the rural people have solid eyes. As long as girls are married, they will live a lifetime no matter how good or bad there husband’s family ... they not allow to returned  parents house..

A good daughter of Dong  family became a rag after three years of marriage. The reason for the divorce was that she could not give birth to children. This is almost the same as the death penalty in rural areas  no children no future... where as "more children, more blessings"

But if you don’t have any hope, you can’t jump into the river to ponder. They say that it is better to die than to live. As long as you live, there is hope, right?

Chen Guixiang put the steaming egg soup on the cupboard next to the bed, and sat down and held her daughter's hand.

These hands were soft and tender before. When she was a girl at home, she felt sorry for her daughter. There are three sons in the family. The labor force is enough. The daughter is also helping with cooking and feeding chickens, mowing grass and watering vegetables, and doing simple tasks at home.

It has only been three years since she was married, and the girl's hands have become so rough. One can imagine what life has been she  spent in Lu's house these three years.

Chen Guixiang regretted not discovering that the Lu family was wrong earlier, and regretted that she did not support her daughter earlier, which caused her to suffer for three years in vain.

That day, the girl came back with a burden on her back. Her eyes were red and swollen and her hair was scattered. She was only in her early twenties. She was supposed to be as brilliant as a flower, but she described it as haggard and lifeless.

She said that the Lu family didn't want her anymore, and the Lu family sent her back

The Dong family did feel so angry. Dong Jia’s three brothers went to Xiaoling Village to find the Lu family to settle the accounts.

However, the Lu family was also horrible, and directly claimed that Dong Jia had not been pregnant for three years after marriage and said that she was not filial.

This not only embarrassed the village cadres in the two villages, but also let the Dong family die.

Strictly speaking, what the Lu family said is not unreasonable. After all, Lu Chengyuan is the only male in the Lu family. Although it is not very authentic to drive back his wife who has been married for three years, the inheritance of incense is ethical to the rural people.

The most important thing is that if you don’t give birth to a child, the Lu family will end here. If so, who will throw a pot for you and who will burn paper for you after a hundred years?

"Who said that it must be Jia's problem not having a baby? Maybe she will be able to give birth , Lu Chengyuan, you are still not a man, and you can't even protect your wife !"

Lu Chengyuan's face was red, hiding in the corner without speaking, his mother, Dong Jia's ex-mother-in-law, sipped her arms on her hips.

"Bah, our Lu family is considered benevolent and righteous. If it weren’t for your Dong family girl, my family’s Chengyuan would have wasted three years?"

Mrs. Lu was horrible, and the people in Xiaoling Village followed and pointed.

The Dong family brothers couldn't hold their faces, and their dark faces pulled Dong Jia's dowry home. At this point, the family of Dong and Lu had completely broken up.

The two got married and didn't get a marriage certificate, so naturally there is no need to apply for a divorce certificate at this time.

This matter spread to several surrounding villages. Those who were kind to Dong Jia sighed for a while, lamenting her difficulty in the future, and those who were uneasy and kind began to ridicule and sarcasm behind them.
