Reborn in 78, I made my fortune by working in the mountains, supporting three families on my own.

suddenly.

Zhao Lei gasped and glanced at Jiang Xinyue out of the corner of his eye.

Could it be that they found out about what happened between Xinyue and me this morning?

That shouldn't be the case. We've been married for so long, they wouldn't be this angry if they knew about this, right?

Just as Zhao Lei was completely baffled, Su Wanqing finally couldn't bear it and spoke first: "Sister Xinyue, please take the things out."

Zhao Lei looked around in confusion: "What is that?"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xinyue took out a purple handkerchief from her pocket, on which was embroidered a peony symbolizing wealth and prosperity.

Jiang Xinyue angrily threw the handkerchief directly at Zhao Lei's face.

Zhao Lei took it and was immediately stunned: "What is this? What's wrong?"

snort!

Qin Yuchan snorted coldly and turned her head: "Hmph, Zhao Sanshi, what are you doing? Have you forgotten so quickly? You've been playing with us three silly women like fools."

"The three of us had children with you, so do you think we can't live without you, Zhao Sanshi, and that nobody else wants us, right?"

Qin Yuchan became increasingly angry as she spoke, and stood up to point at Zhao Lei, cursing loudly: "Zhao Sanshi, ask yourself honestly, think carefully, what good have I enjoyed from you after following you for so many years?"

I even paid out of my own pocket to take care of your seriously ill mother. In the year she passed away, you were never home, always gambling with Lai Mazi and his gang. Don't you have any idea how much suffering Xinyue and I endured?

Seeing this, Zhao Lei knew something was wrong.

He knew Qin Yuchan was a chatterbox, but what she said today was a bit too harsh.

He clutched his handkerchief anxiously, sweating profusely. "No, Yu Chan, what's wrong? Tell me clearly!"

Jiang Xinyue coldly said, "Sanshi, Sister Yuchan is right. The three of us can say that we have a clear conscience towards you and your Zhao family, right?"

Zhao Lei nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I mistreated you all before, but haven't I changed for the better now? Life is going well, so what's wrong with you all today?"

Qin Yuchan interrupted, "You still say we're crazy? Look at what you're holding!"

Zhao Lei picked up the handkerchief again and examined it carefully, still completely baffled.

"Yu Chan, it's just a handkerchief, what's the problem?"

Jiang Xinyue continued, "Alright, Sanshi, since you're still clinging to this hope, I'll be blunt with you. This handkerchief, I found it in your pocket..."

Zhao Lei frowned: "It's just a handkerchief, what's the problem?"

Qin Bowen, who was standing next to him, was completely terrified.

It is often said that those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.

When he saw Sister Xinyue take out the handkerchief, he was completely bewildered.

But now, he suddenly realized what he meant.

Could it be that this handkerchief doesn't belong to any of the three sisters-in-law?

Whose is it?

Qin Bowen thought about it carefully. Since his brother-in-law came back, he had basically been with him.

My brother-in-law simply doesn't have time to philander.

Although he did not accompany his brother-in-law on a few occasions, as far as he knew, his brother-in-law was basically resting at home or taking care of the children at that time.

If a brother-in-law can still go out and have affairs under these circumstances, then all I can say is that he's quite something!

A true master of time management!

But Qin Bowen didn't see Zhao Lei that way.

So, he mustered his courage and coughed lightly twice: "Ahem, ladies, may I say a word?"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, his three sisters-in-law turned around and glared at him in unison.

Startled, Qin Bowen shrank back, covered his mouth, and dared not say another word.

Seeing this, Zhao Lei also came to his senses.

He waved the handkerchief at his three ex-wives: "Isn't this handkerchief yours?"

Qin Yuchan scoffed, "Hmph, Zhao Sanshi, if it were ours, would we be questioning you like this?"

"Whose is it if not yours?"

"How would I know which wild woman it was?"

Zhao Lei was speechless for a moment, lost in his memories:

No, where would I get this handkerchief from in my pocket?

Aside from my three ex-wives, I don't usually have any contact with other women.

If we're talking about other women... would Granny Zhang count?

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei mustered his courage and asked in a low voice, "Could this be Zhang Sanpo's? Did I accidentally slip it into my pocket when I went to find Lin Zi and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuchan became even more furious and pointed at him, cursing, "Zhao Sanshi, you lied without even writing a draft. Look at what's embroidered on there."

"A peony, symbol of wealth and status! That's something young women like. Grandma is so old; you still want her to take the blame for you? Are you even human?"

Zhao Lei immediately broke out in a sweat.

The more anxious he became, the less he could sort things out.

Su Wanqing suddenly stood up and looked at Zhao Lei with great disappointment: "Brother Sanshi, you have disappointed me so much. I thought I had feelings for you and you had feelings for us too, but I never expected that you would find a new woman outside."

It seems we're divorced, so I have no right to control you anymore. Do whatever you want...

After saying that, Su Wanqing ran out the door with tears in her voice.

"Wanqing! Where are you going?"

Zhao Lei panicked and tried to chase after her, but Jiang Xinyue grabbed him.

"Wait, San Shi, I also have something to say to you."

Zhao Lei was extremely anxious.

But both sides are equally dear to him, and seeing Jiang Xinyue's unusually serious expression, his heart skipped a beat.

I had a bad feeling; something terrible was about to happen!

as predicted.

Jiang Xinyue's next words were like a sharp sword piercing Zhao Lei's heart.

"Sanshi, I am so grateful to you for taking care of me before, for not looking down on me, a capitalist's daughter who was sent to do manual labor. You even gave me 500 yuan to redeem my brother. I am truly thankful to you."

But Sanshi, if you think we're a burden to you, just tell us, and I won't keep bothering you. You didn't like Yuanyuan before, so I can take her away!

Zhao Lei grabbed Jiang Xinyue's hand, his eyes brimming with tears: "Xinyue, what are you saying? I've never thought of that before."

Jiang Xinyue slapped his hand away: "Sanshi, think it over carefully. Give me an answer tomorrow. I'm going to pick up the child."

After saying that, Jiang Xinyue got up and left the house, heading towards Zhang Sanpo's house.

At this point, only Qin Yuchan remained.

Qin Yuchan's chest heaved with anger, and she looked at Zhao Lei several times, hesitant to speak: "I'm just like Xinyue. Tonight, I'm having my two younger sisters and their children come back to my parents' home with me. Think it over tomorrow and come talk to us."

After saying this, Qin Yuchan pulled a bewildered Qin Bowen and left the Zhao family home.

At this moment, Zhao Lei felt like the sky had fallen.

What happened?

What happened?

Zhao Lei stared blankly at Qin Bowen, who was winking and making faces at him...
