Chapter 71: Can’t Tolerate It
When Yiyi heard this, she couldn’t help but look at Fei Er Ya and said, "It’s okay. If anyone continues to talk about you, I’ll definitely help you clear things up. But you can’t always be so soft; otherwise, people will think it’s okay to bully you."
Being kind leads to being bullied, a conclusion Yiyi had come to long ago, so she must be strong.
Seeing the determination and confidence in Yiyi’s eyes, Fei Er Ya couldn’t help but smile, "Alright, from now on, I’ll definitely be more assertive."
The meeting was very pleasant, and when Yiyi was about to say goodbye to Fei Er Ya, she carefully reminded her, "When you go home later, your sister will definitely give you a hard time. Remember what you just said; you must be strong and never let your sister bully you again." It was clear to her that Fei Wenya had no sisterly affection for Er Ya, but rather deep resistance and hostility.
"Okay."
Seeing how concerned Yiyi was for her, Fei Er Ya nodded firmly.
Walking down the street, Yiyi was in a pretty good mood. Then she thought that the food factory was nearby, so she decided to wait for her sister to get off work and go home together.
But when she arrived at the food factory, she saw her sister, Mo Xiaohong, talking to a man. Even though she couldn’t see the man’s face, she instantly recognized him as Jiang Huirong.
Seeing this, Yiyi directly approached, warily eyeing Jiang Huirong.
Mo Xiaohong, who was originally annoyed by Jiang Huirong’s pestering, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yiyi coming over, and immediately said, "Yiyi, why are you here?"
"I just happened to be around here, so I thought I’d wait for you to get off work."
Hearing her little sister’s words, Mo Xiaohong quickly said, "Great, let’s go home."
At this point, Jiang Huirong hurried over, his face full of sorrow, and said, "Xiaohong, I was wrong. Please bring Shanshan and come back home. Let’s live together as a family."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi snorted coldly and said, "My sister has already divorced you, so she has nothing to do with your Jiang family. You’re no longer a family, and you should stop showing up."
Seeing Mo Yiyi, Jiang Huirong’s anger surged. This little girl not only broke his head back then, but it was also because of her that Mo Xiaohong divorced him so easily.
"I’m talking to Xiaohong, you ugly girl, mind your own business."
However, Mo Xiaohong gave Jiang Huirong a cold glare and said, "Yiyi is right. I have nothing to do with your Jiang family. You’d better leave. I never want to see you again."
"You..."
Seeing the previously obedient Mo Xiaohong now coldly rejecting him, Jiang Huirong felt he couldn’t accept it.
"Even if you have nothing to do with our Jiang family, Shanshan is still our Jiang family’s child, so she must come back to the Jiang family."
He knew Mo Xiaohong cared about her daughter, so bringing up Shanshan would surely change her mind.
Yiyi finally snapped out of being called "ugly girl" and snickered, "Back when you divorced my sister, Shanshan was no longer part of your Jiang family. Now she’s called Mo Shan, so don’t think about using Shanshan to threaten my sister. Ha... wasn’t it just a while ago you wanted to bring your son home? Now you’ve finally realized you’ve been cuckolded, and you regret it?"
Originally, she didn’t think much of Jiang Huirong, and now that he called her ugly, she couldn’t stand it.
From the start, Jiang Huirong had been somewhat annoyed by Yiyi. Hearing her mention Li Xue’er’s matter made him even more embarrassed.
"Mo Yiyi..."
"I’m right here. No need to shout. A man like you, switching loyalties and having no sense of responsibility, is getting what you deserve. It’s only natural. Who told you to mistreat my sister and Shanshan? Now, even if you regret it, it’s too late."
After saying this, Yiyi turned to Mo Xiaohong and said, "Sister, let’s go."
Mo Xiaohong didn’t even glance at Jiang Huirong, and left with Yiyi.
Ever since she left the Jiang family, she realized how foolish she had been. Clearly, she could have lived more freely, yet she endured so much in the Jiang family for years. Now she and her daughter were living well on their own. Why go back to the Jiang family to suffer?
Watching Mo Xiaohong leave without hesitation, Jiang Huirong’s expression turned dark.
He had actually regretted it earlier, losing his wife and daughter over Li Xue’er and an illegitimate child. Later, he even heard that Mo Xiaohong was working in a food factory, earning a stable income, and had become a city worker. His mother frequently sighed and regretted, urging him to bring her back quickly.
At first, he thought persuading Mo Xiaohong to come back would be easy, given that she had always been obedient to him. Yet he only now realized that Mo Xiaohong had changed. Not only had her style become fashionable, but even her personality seemed somewhat unfamiliar. He felt he hardly recognized Mo Xiaohong anymore.
As the sisters walked down the street, Yiyi couldn’t help but glance at Mo Xiaohong.
"Sister, you’re not going to be tricked back by Jiang Huirong, are you?"
Hearing this, Mo Xiaohong rolled her eyes at Yiyi and said, "Do you think I’m that easy to trick?"
Though Yiyi didn’t say anything, the approving look in her eyes was evident to Mo Xiaohong. She couldn’t help but sigh, "Yiyi, I know you’re worried about me, but don’t worry. I’m not going back to the Jiang family. Shanshan and I are living well now. Why go back to the Jiang family to suffer? Even if I don’t consider myself, I have to think about Shanshan."
Hearing this, Yiyi finally felt relieved, though there was still a bit of pent-up anger.
Even though she was thin and small now, and somewhat dark, making her not exactly pretty, as a girl, she still cared a bit about her appearance. So, Yiyi decided to start concocting some beauty and health remedies and growth-enhancing supplements from tomorrow.
When the sisters got home, no one mentioned Jiang Huirong. The family happily had dinner together.
The next day, Yiyi wrote a prescription and then went to get the medicine. This prescription was something she had seen before in Medicine Valley. She wasn’t sure how effective it was, but it was definitely better than ordinary prescriptions.
When Ding Yuejun came home and saw her daughter brewing medicine, she was a bit curious and then asked nervously, "Yiyi, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no, this is some tonic I got from the medicine shop. It’s to strengthen the body."
Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Ding Yuejun was finally relieved, "As long as you’re not unwell, that’s good." Then she added, feeling a bit guilty, "You do need to nourish yourself well. You haven’t been eating properly before, so you’re smaller and thinner than your peers. It’s all my fault for not taking good care of you before."
"Mom, you’ve been taking good care of me. Besides, once I’ve had the tonic, I’ll definitely grow tall soon."
