Although my cousin said that he was innocent, I knew that he had an undeniable responsibility. In the end, it was all about money. But now that he knew that I had a good relationship with Brother Long of the Tiger Head Gang, he was extremely afraid of me. He was afraid that I would vent my anger on him.
He had been in Yuncheng for many years, so he knew that the Tiger Head Gang was the number one underground gang. If an ordinary person like him provoked Brother Long, he wouldn't even know how he died. After all, Brother Long was a respected person in the Tiger Head Gang.
As expected, my previous method was wrong. Even if I humbly begged my cousin, it wouldn't be of any use. Instead, I would be scolded and ridiculed. With brother Long's help, the effect was immediate, and it saved me a lot of trouble.
To put it bluntly, my cousin bullied me because he was my elder. He thought that I would just swallow my anger. Now that he had suffered a loss, not only did he not dare to take revenge on me, he even asked Luo Yan to play with me.
After my cousin said that, I was overjoyed. That slut was really despicable. She had sent me a message to express her goodwill, and now she was playing a badger game. As a kid from the mountains, how could I see through it?
The seed of hatred had already sprouted in my heart. "Cousin, look at what you're saying. If you do the same thing again, what should I do?" I rubbed my nose, looking worried.
My cousin shook his head like a rattle drum, and his lips trembled. "No, no, if I threaten you again, Brother Long will break my leg."
He looked terrified, as if he had thought of something terrible. Brother Long was good at torturing people. If I was there, I wouldn't have been able to bear it. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
"Oh, I see. Anyway, you're a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water. If you break it, then break it." I shrugged and said in a mocking tone.
I felt really good. Ever since I was young, I had always been inferior to him in everything. I had gradually gotten used to it. When it was my turn to mock my cousin, I always felt an indescribable pleasure.
My cousin's face turned red, but he didn't say a word. He couldn't hide the regret on his face. Soon, my sister-in-law came back with a pile of food.
"Xiao Mei, you feed me first." My cousin was a bit overbearing. Maybe he was angry at me and wanted to vent it out.
Sister-in-law frowned and agreed. Since she was pregnant, how could she stay hungry? I took the initiative. "Cousin, what do you want to eat? I'll feed you."
I checked. Sister-in-law had bought soybean milk, fried dough sticks, steamed dumplings, a bowl of beef noodles, and wontons. Everything was very rich.
"Ah, don't, don't. Xiaomei can feed me." The cousin was terrified.
This scene caused my sister-in-law to look at me suspiciously. After all, in her subconscious mind, I am very afraid of my cousin. According to common sense, after knowing that my child is mine, I should be the one panicking. How did my cousin become the one trembling in fear?
"Then you eat it yourself. Sister-in-law is pregnant now, so it's not suitable for her to serve others."
I curled my lips. These past few years, my sister-in-law had been bullied a lot. When my cousin got drunk and came home, my sister-in-law would be very sleepy, but she still had to take care of him. However, he didn't know how to put himself in her shoes.
He wasn't worthy of my sister-in-law. "Okay," my cousin agreed. He didn't dare to disobey me and sat up.
Sister-in-law was even more puzzled. I was secretly happy. Hehe, not only is the child mine, but even my cousin has to listen to me. Isn't this wonderful?
My cousin picked up the bowl of beef noodles and didn't look happy. "Hey, Xiao Mei, you came to the hospital today. Go and take care of the child!"
Sister-in-law had just picked up a bag of steamed dumplings, but she almost dropped it. "Why did you break your promise?"
I was puzzled. "Cousin, why do you want to abort the child?"
In this house, only my cousin didn't know the truth. "Xiao Feng, I just paid off my debt, so I'm poor now. It's hard for me to cross the river, so how can I take care of the child? I don't want Xiao Mei to suffer in the future. So, after thinking about it, I want to abort the child. Of course, if Liu Jie is willing to help me, I don't mind." He sighed. Since he was covered in wounds, he looked quite pitiful.
However, I didn't have much sympathy for him. This cousin of mine was a troublemaker. He always had a crooked mind. The child wasn't even his, but he still pretended to be righteous.
"If uncle finds out about this, he'll be furious," I said impatiently.
I said angrily with a hint of reproach in my tone. My cousin smiled awkwardly. "It's okay. When the time comes, we'll say that Xiao Mei accidentally fell and lost her child. That's all."
It turned out that my cousin had already thought of a solution. Unfortunately, uncle didn't know that he had fallen into his son's trap.
If I say that, your father will blame me again. The villagers will think that I'm a bad daughter-in-law. Haven't you made me suffer enough in the past few years? "I hadn't opened my mouth yet, but the sister-in-law couldn't stay calm anymore. She sounded like she was about to cry, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The atmosphere was a little stiff. My cousin furrowed his brows. "Hey, Li Chunmei, watch your words and actions. How can you talk to your husband like that? You've grown up, haven't you?"
My cousin was angry at me, but he didn't dare to vent his anger, so he shifted it to sister-in-law. He was thinking of ways to torture her. I didn't like it.
"Cousin, you know that you're her husband. I'm afraid there aren't many people who bully their wife like you."
I pulled a long face. I was really unhappy, and my body shivered. After saying that, I let go of the pressure.
In the past, I wouldn't have dared to do that. But now, sister-in-law needed me to stand up for her. Even if I had to turn against my cousin, I didn't care.
Hearing my words, sister-in-law was touched. She looked at me in disbelief. Maybe in her mind, I couldn't be rebellious. Sometimes, love could change a lot. Now that it had come to this, I couldn't just sit back and watch.
"Xiao Feng, this is my family's business. Aren't you poking your nose into it? Are there any juniors like you?" My cousin rolled his eyes at me and acted like an elder.
"I don't think I've done anything wrong. You have no right to decide whether the child stays or goes." I stared into his eyes. I didn't know why I was so brave.
"This is my child. Why can't I decide?!"
My cousin was so angry that his body trembled. In the past, he had the final say at home. But now, he didn't have any dignity at all. I could only say that he was reaping what he sowed.
"Because …" Sister-in-law interrupted me before I could finish. "Because I want to be a mother. You have no right to interfere. At most, we'll meet in court!"
