Chapter 1778 How Can You

As Qin Hongfei said, Bai Yimeng has never been a soft persimmon, and she did not shed tears of gratitude for her sister-in-law's words.

After decades of sedimentation, the things in her youth have become old memories.

But no matter how old the old memories are, the emotions of that time still seem to surround her heart when they are brought up.

Old Mrs. Bai said, "When your brother left, your nephew was only this old, five years old, and I didn't remarry. I was an orphan and a widow."

"Everyone advised you to get married at that time."

"Your brother spoiled you and found countless good families for you, but you were stubborn."

"Advocating independence."

"The result is good. I am now independent and alone, and no one can stay by my bed."

The tone of Old Mrs. Bai was sarcastic and happy, as if she wanted to say, now you know that everything you did back then was a wrong choice, and you are paying the price for your mistakes.

Bai Yiyun's smile disappeared, "Sister-in-law!"

Didn't we agree before coming that we would not talk about the past?

She hurried to see her elder sister.

Bai Yimeng still had the same expression, kind and charitable, but the smile in her eyes faded. She looked at the little boy, five years old. Yes, when her brother left, her nephew was this age. She gathered her shawl and said lightly, "Not mentioning some accounts does not mean that I am guilty or that I am wrong. Sister-in-law, are you here to settle accounts with me today?"

Old Lady Bai wanted to pretend to say no, but when she heard Bai Yimeng say that she was not wrong, she was choked by a breath and looked at her resentfully, "It's not about settling accounts. I just hope that the death of my father-in-law and father is a good death, which can make you reflect on yourself. After all, decades have passed..."

"Pursue?"

Bai Yimeng let out a breath, and the scene of her kneeling in front of the Bai family seemed to appear again.

"Sister-in-law entered my Bai family at the age of 20."

"You were a few years younger than me at that time, and I treated you as my own sister, no matter how big or small. However, people's hearts cannot be replaced by others'. I treated you as my own sister, but you secretly disliked me, a sister-in-law, for taking up a room at home, and you wanted to marry me off wholeheartedly. You often encouraged my father and brother to find a man for me behind my back."

"When my father and brother got into trouble, I left home quietly."

The 36-year-old Bai Yimeng was actually scarred when she left home to find Cang Yu at the front line.

She left home alone, and before leaving, she did not tell anyone except her sister-in-law where she had been.

Not long after she left, her father and brother chased her.

Bai Yimeng pulled the corner of her lips sarcastically, "Actually, I have always wanted to ask my sister-in-law, how did my father and brother know that I went to the front line."

"Except you, I didn't even tell my teacher and sister."

Old lady Bai's face turned pale. There was something she had been suppressing in her heart, buried very deep, very deep, for a long time. After decades, she thought that no one knew that it had never happened. How could her father-in-law and husband know where Bai Yimeng went and chased her so promptly.

The reason is nothing else.

Because she complained.

Before Bai Yimeng left, she had a heart-to-heart talk with her and told her sister-in-law where she was going. She also entrusted her family to her sister-in-law. However, her only trusted sister-in-law did not help her keep the secret, and turned around and betrayed her.

That's why Bai Yimeng's father and brother appeared at the front line that year.

They came to take her back.

That time...

If Bai Yimeng was taken back, she would obediently compromise, marry, and get married.

Because she was tired.

At that time, Bai Yimeng also told her sister-in-law that it was the last time.

After this is done, she will not chase Cang Yu anymore, she will follow the teacher honestly.

But Old Lady Bai did not want to have an unmarried sister-in-law in the family, so she revealed the news of the sister-in-law, and therefore...

Bai Yimeng came back from the front line that time and waited for the bones of his father and brother.

Bai Yiyun widened his eyes, "Sister-in-law, is what the elder sister said true? You!"

Old Lady Bai's face turned pale, the memory was too old, so old that Bai Yimeng did not mention it, she really forgot, forgot that she was the complainant.

Everyone thought that the father and brother of the Bai family got into trouble in order to find Bai Yimeng.

At the funeral that year, the mother of the Bai family hated her daughter to the bone, yes, hate, a mother hated the piece of flesh she gave birth to so much that she wanted to kill her, not giving birth to her, that kind of pain was heartbreaking for Bai Yimeng.

Bai Yimeng knelt in front of the gate of the Bai family, and could not go to see her father and brother off for the last time.

Relatives pointed and pointed, and verbal persecution was like a sharp knife.

Old Lady Bai, who lost her husband, also hated Bai Yimeng for killing her husband.

But if...

If the sister-in-law hadn't complained back then.

Maybe the Bai family's father and brother wouldn't have gotten into trouble.

Bai Yimeng's kind face remained unchanged, but there was no smile in her eyes. There was no voice of the younger generation in the ward, only the sound of horns coming from afar when the traffic outside the window passed by. That sound seemed to pass through decades of time and bring the three of them back to the scene in front of the Bai family's funeral.

Old Lady Bai's lips trembled, "No, it's not my fault... I didn't, it's you, you shouldn't have disobeyed your father and brother."

A mocking look flashed through Bai Yimeng's eyes: "Yes, it's not your fault. Sister-in-law can only think so. Otherwise, if people knew that the reason why my father and brother ran to the front line to chase me and take me back was because of your complaint and rumors, my brother loves me. I have always wondered whether he came to find me to tie me back like my father did, or just to stop the quarrel between my father and me."

"No matter which one..."

"With the death of the person, it is meaningless."

"The reason why I didn't tell the truth and didn't settle accounts with you was that I didn't come to my senses at first, and later it was because I was punished and you were punished."

"Whether it was you who complained or not, if my father and mother didn't give birth to me, if my brother didn't really love me, he could have stayed out of it. I lost my brother and you lost your husband."

In that era when women relied on men.

And there was a son and a daughter under her knees.

This punishment was enough to break the heart of Old Lady Bai, and she spent it in regret.

The situation of the Bai family was in a mess. Even if Bai Yimeng told the truth, it would be meaningless. After all, the root of the problem was still with her. Besides, her mother hated her to the core. She lost her husband, son, and daughter.

Bai Yimeng didn't want to make things worse and let her lose her daughter-in-law.

Hide the truth and treat it as her fault.

In this way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can still rely on each other.

Under the circumstances at that time, Bai Yimeng didn't want to make things worse for the family, and she didn't have the extra energy to deal with it, so she could only do that, and then the truth was covered up. When Bai's mother died, she still hated her daughter and refused to forgive her. She didn't feel sorry for her when she was alive, let alone decades later, and until now.

Bai Yiyun looked at her sister-in-law in disbelief, "How could you, how could you..."
