Chapter 731 Taking Care Of Her Forever
Chapter 731 Taking Care Of Her Forever
"Since you mention the issue of helping out, then let's talk about this. When my daughter and your son got married, our family bought a 140-square-meter house for my daughter in the county city in your hometown. You and your daughter are living in that house now, right? My daughter has never lived there for even a day. She has been living outside in a house allocated by Kong Lu's workplace unit," Xu Lan said.
When Xia He got married, Xia Mao had already sent people to investigate Kong Lu's family situation. All the neighbors did not have anything good to say about Old Madam Kong. At that time, Xu Lan already felt that Xia He should live in a nice house in the county city. Their family could afford to live well and did not want their child to suffer.
Besides, the property prices in the capital were worlds apart from the prices in that small county city that Kong Lu lived in. They did not need to spend much money to buy the 140-square-meter house, but it was still money that the Kong family would not be able to fork out in their lifetime.
Not only did the Kong family not fork out a single cent for this house, they did not even contribute any money for the renovation. After the house was tidied up, Old Madam Kong insisted that there was something wrong with her health, that she could not live in the village anymore and had to go to the county city for treatment.
Kong Lu was a filial son, so he had no choice but to bring Old Madam Kong over. After that, she simply stayed on for many years. In order to get some peace and quiet, Xia He moved to Kong Lu's apartment that was allocated by his workplace.
"What's wrong with that? I've taken care of Xia He for so many years and I'm the one who takes care of her daily needs. Even if I haven't achieved much, I still deserve credit for my efforts. She's been married to my son for so many years but she hasn't given the Kong family a grandchild. We haven't even criticized her for this yet!" Old Madam Kong complained.
Every time Kong Lu went to the army unit, he would be away for half a year to a year. Whenever he could come home, Old Madam Kong would ask to see him so that she could complain to him. Every time Kong Lu came back, Xia He would quarrel with him. Under such circumstances, it would be a miracle if they could have children!
It was true that Old Madam Kong did not fight with Xia He about the issue of having children. This was because Old Madam Kong actually did not care whether Kong Lu had any descendants. Kong Lu was not her biological son at all. He was just a child that she had taken in.
Even if he had children, they would not be considered descendants of the Kong family.
However, in order to make life difficult for Xia He, Old Madam Kong went around crying that she could not experience the joys of family life, and that she felt even sadder when she saw everyone in the neighborhood bringing their children down to play.
This made the neighbors gossip about Xia He. A few people even secretly gave Xia He prescriptions to treat her illness!
"It's a good thing we have no children. Do you think I'm willing to bear children for your family! Take a look at yourself! You make it sound like your other sons have sons! After being married for so many years, they also don't have children!" Xia He muttered.
Old Madam Kong rushed up to Xia He in exasperation and gave her a slap.
Xia He was cursing the Kong family to have no descendants by saying such things!
"You b*tch! What nonsense are you talking about! My second and third sons can have children! You can't have children, yet you curse my sons! Are you tired of living!" Old Madam Kong roared.
Before Xu Lan could go forward to teach Old Madam Kong a lesson, Liu Fen could not hold back her fiery temper anymore. She went forward and slapped Old Madam Kong.
"Shameless old woman! You dare to behave so atrociously in our house! Who do you think you are! Do you think you can beat up my niece? Do you think you can touch our Xia family members just because you want to? Back then, your son knelt down and begged us to let Xia He marry him. Is this how you treat her now? Our Xia family will never let you off! Get lost!" Liu Fen pointed at the door and shouted.
When Qiao Mei heard this from the other end of the phone, she could not help but cheer for Liu Fen. She had helped all of them to vent their anger.
Xu Lan pressed the button to connect to the security room and asked them to quickly send someone to take the Kong family's mother and daughter away and make sure they boarded the train.
Xia He did not have time to say anything to Qiao Mei and simply hung up the phone. She would call Qiao Mei again after everything was over.
Xu Lan even called Xia Mao's guards and asked them to escort the Kong family's mother and daughter back to the county city. She wanted Xia He to get a divorce right now!
The Xia family did not lack that money they owed. They would never let the Kong family off for bullying Xia He like this.
Liu Fen called Xia Wen and Xia Mao and asked them to return home. The family discussed this matter together and Xia Mao would go ahead to make the arrangements for Kong Lu's transfer.
"Xiao He has been living like this in the Kong family all these years. Let me make my stand. Even if Xiao He doesn't get married for the rest of her life, I can still afford to take care of her. Xiao He can stay at home for the rest of her life," Xu Lan said firmly.
