Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162: Realization
Zhao Xiaoling also went down to the fields. Zhao Yanli did not refuse; her husband must have gone to Second Brother’s place just now. If they were cooking over there, he definitely wouldn’t let the two kids cook.
Zhao Qingxiang left in a hurry. He knew about Sun Yun’s temper. If she hadn’t been upset for a long time, she wouldn’t have returned to her parents’ home.
She is a very strong-willed person. She certainly wouldn’t want her parents to know about these things.
Sun Yun had already arrived home. Her mother was startled when she saw her. They were all sitting on the kang shelling corn, looking at the girl who returned.
"Xiao Yun, why are you back?"
"Nothing, just came back to stay for a few days."
"What’s wrong?"
Sun Yun didn’t speak, just climbed onto the kang to help shell the corn.
The sister-in-laws at home noticed the girl’s demeanor, and no one dared to ask further.
During the journey, Sun Yun had been contemplating the possibility of living her own life.
There shouldn’t be any problem with one hundred acres of land. She’s had enough of these days. Whatever Zhao Qingxiang wants to do, let him do it. She didn’t have the energy to be angry with him anymore. She wouldn’t bother people.
The Sun Family chatted about other things, occasionally calling Sun Yun into the conversation.
When Zhao Qingxiang came over, the Sun Family happened to still be working.
Sun’s mother felt relieved when she saw her husband come over because she understood her daughter well. How could she not know what her daughter was like?
When Sun Yun saw Zhao Qingxiang, an intense feeling of dislike arose from within her. It was a particularly strong aversion to him.
Zhao Qingxiang greeted everyone in his mother-in-law’s house.
He looked at his wife, who only gave him a glance, and said, "Xiao Yun, hurry home. Xiao Ling and the rest have all returned."
Sun Yun didn’t even lift her head, "No need. I’ve already seen them. Zhao Qingxiang, I won’t live with you anymore. After the kids leave, I’ll get my stuff back; whatever is mine, I’ll take it back."
Zhao Qingxiang furrowed his brow, "Xiao Yun, what’s this about?"
Sun Yun still didn’t lift her head, "I don’t have the energy to make a fuss with you, don’t annoy me by sticking around."
This was the harshest thing she had said to him since they got married.
Sun’s mother realized this was not good, "Xiao Yun, why are you doing this?"
"Mom, don’t ask. If you keep asking, I’ll leave. I’m done living with Zhao Qingxiang. After so many years, I’ve finally realized.
It’s not too late, actually. I can live on my own. That way, I won’t be so angry and can perhaps live longer."
Sun’s mother understood her daughter’s temperament. She really didn’t know how to persuade her anymore.
Zhao Qingxiang hadn’t thought it would be this serious. He didn’t know what to do but stand there awkwardly, watching Sun Yun.
Sun’s mother sighed, "Qingxiang, what’s this all about?"
"Mom, it’s just that Xiao Yun doesn’t want me to deliver fertilizer to my brother’s house."
Sun’s mother frowned, "Just because of this?"
Sun Yun said nothing, just let out a cold laugh.
Hearing that laugh made Zhao Qingxiang feel even more embarrassed.
The five daughters-in-law of the Sun Family all looked at the girl. Previously, she had been the one who defended Zhao Qingxiang the most, so she must really be fed up now?
Being stared at by all the women of the Sun Family made Zhao Qingxiang feel very uncomfortable.
"I went to do some work for my brother’s family. Xiao Yun wasn’t willing."
Sun’s mother sighed, "Qingxiang, you and Xiao Yun have been together for over ten years. Don’t you know what kind of person she is? Would my daughter get upset over something like this?"
Sun Yun still didn’t say a word, just kept her head down, shelling corn.
It was then that the wife of the fifth son noticed the girl’s hand, "Xiao Yun, what’s happened to your hand? Hasn’t your family already handed in their work?"
"It’s nothing."
"How can it be nothing? You shouldn’t be doing this. I’ll get some oil for you; let’s go to the fields to soak your hands in hot water and apply some oil."
The other daughters-in-law of the Sun Family also looked at the girl’s hands, "Xiao Yun, why the rush? Even if you don’t do it, you can still eat. Are you planning to take the kids when they return?"
"Why bother? The kids have a father too. If you don’t work, someone else will." said Second Sister-in-law sharply.
"Xiao Yun, Second Sister-in-law is right. If you don’t work, someone else will. You’re fine now, still working despite everything. Others see someone working, so they won’t bother with you. There’s time for them to work for others." said Third Sister-in-law.
The wife of the fifth son held the girl’s hand, and the fourth daughter-in-law grabbed the corn cob from her hand.
"This is what you get for being so stubborn. What’s the use?"
Zhao Qingxiang stood in the middle of the room, listening to the sister-in-laws criticizing his wife, and felt even more uneasy.
The wives of the fourth and fifth sons were already taking Sun Yun to the field to soak her hands.
Sun’s mother looked at Zhao Qingxiang, who was still standing there, "Xiao Ling and the others have returned. You should go back and take care of the kids. Xiao Yun’s temper is like this. I’m afraid if I say too much, she really will leave."
"Mom, the kids only come back once a year."
"In the eyes of the kids, this mom isn’t good either. If Xiao Yun doesn’t want to, so be it."
Zhao Qingxiang felt very awkward. His wife was no longer here. He couldn’t go to his brothers-in-law’s room to look for her, so he had to stand in the main room. "Xiao Yun, the kids have all returned, come back with me. I won’t help them work anymore."
Sun Yun just rubbed her hands without lifting her head.
It was today that she suddenly realized how much she disliked Zhao Qingxiang. Why live with him? She could live just fine on her own.
Zhao Qingxiang called several times, but there was no response. The others in the Sun Family didn’t bother with him either. Having no other choice, Zhao Qingxiang turned and left.
The women returned to shelling corn again. Sun Yun sat by, rubbing her hands, her fingers full of small cuts.
"Xiao Yun, what exactly do you plan to do?" asked the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun Family.
"I’m just not going to live with him anymore. I’ve thought it over. I’ll go back tomorrow and talk to Zhao Qingxiang and the three kids, get what’s mine. I’ll apply for one hundred acres of land on the farm. Once the kids leave, I can live a good life on my own.
It will certainly be more comfortable than living with Zhao Qingxiang."
"Xiao Yun, what about when you get old?"
"Mom, you’re overthinking it. When I get old, I’ll live as I can manage.
The three girls all think I’m the bad guy. I used to try to get along with them, but now I know it was impossible.
Forget it. They’re still young. I’ll give them money and food every year. When they grow up, if they want to take care of me, that’s fine. If not, I won’t depend on them."
"Xiao Yun, why make it so hard?" Sun’s mother felt sorry for her daughter.
"Mom, I’ve been silently angry for these years. Do you think if I kept living with Zhao Qingxiang, I’d end up being aggravated to death?"
Her daughter’s words were so severe that Sun’s mother couldn’t speak any further. She was the mother of three kids, and she knew what she was doing.
