Meng Xueyun suddenly flew into a rage, which frightened Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei so much that they shrank back and dared not speak again.

Seeing the two of them like this, Meng Xueyun assumed that she had been right and pointed at them with a heartbroken expression.

"I've worked so hard all these years, and all I got were two ungrateful wretches like you!"

"Stop yelling here!" Ye Zhenghua interrupted her, unable to bear it any longer. "Didn't you say we could just ask the neighbors?"

Meng Xueyun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly retorted, "How can you ask such a question? Don't you think you've embarrassed yourself enough today?"

"Shameful? You know what shameful is? Do you know what people outside are saying about me? They're saying you abused your daughter, and it has a terrible impact!" Ye Zhenghua roared.

Startled by the shout, Meng Xueyun turned around and saw Meng Zihan staring at her expectantly, and immediately felt embarrassed.

Thinking about today's situation, all thanks to Ye Linchen, her eyes turned red, and she screamed.

"Whose fault is it? Blame your heartless daughter! If she were half as sensible as Xiaohan, she wouldn't have caused such a mess!"

"Even at a time like this, you're still trying to smear the child!" Ye Zhenghua's face turned red with anger. "What kind of mother are you? Not only did you not go looking for the child after she ran away, but you also kept slandering her. How could she possibly stay here if you act like this!"

"Ye Zhenghua, stop spouting nonsense! That ingrate can go wherever he wants, I won't go looking for him!"

Meng Xueyun's chest heaved with anger as she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'm too lazy to pretend with you anymore. I just hate her, I just despise her, I wish she would die out there and never come back. What Granny Hu said back then was absolutely right, she is my enemy, she can't stand to see me living a good life, she's come to collect my debts!"

"Aren't you going to go find him?" Ye Zhenghua almost laughed out of anger. "Director Lin called me personally. If this matter isn't resolved and Xiao Chen isn't found, I can forget about getting a promotion!"

"I'm telling you, Meng Xueyun, if this ruins my promotion, we're getting a divorce, and you're getting out of this house!"

Meng Xueyun hadn't expected the impact to be so great. She was so frightened that she opened her mouth wide and stared at Ye Zhenghua in horror, feeling a little regretful.

To everyone's surprise, Ye Zhenghua then announced his intention to divorce her, right in front of the children. Meng Xueyun felt as if she had been slapped hard across the face.

She asked incredulously, "What did you say? You want to divorce me for that ungrateful wretch?"

"Yes! That's right! If you don't bring her back, we're getting a divorce!"

Ye Zhenghua was so angry that his face was contorted, and he no longer had his usual gentle demeanor.

Ye Linbei and Ye Linnan never expected things to turn out this way.

Although they were unhappy with Meng Xueyun's actions, they did not want their parents to divorce.

In their view, divorce is a shameful thing.

If their parents get divorced, how can they hold their heads high in public?

The two immediately tried to persuade Ye Zhenghua, saying, "Dad, don't be angry."

"Yes, Mom was confused today, but she takes care of the whole family all the time. She deserves credit for her hard work, even if she doesn't deserve praise."

Meng Zihan also cried sadly, "Uncle, Aunt was just angry, my sister really..."

Today's events started because of Meng Zihan. If she hadn't spoken, Ye Zhenghua wouldn't have paid her any attention. But now that she has opened her mouth, Ye Zhenghua is furious.

He yelled at Meng Zihan, "Shut up!"

Meng Zihan was always pampered and spoiled in the Ye family, raised like a princess, and never received a harsh word from them.

Suddenly yelled at by Ye Zhenghua, she felt both ashamed and angry, and covered her face, sobbing.

Her hatred for Ye Linchen deepened.

If Ye Linchen hadn't caused trouble, I wouldn't have had to put up with this.

When school starts, she'll make Ye Linchen pay a thousand times over for the grievances he suffered today!

Meng Xueyun was even more furious when she saw Ye Zhenghua yelling at Meng Zihan.

She stood up abruptly, hugged the heartbroken Meng Zihan, and demanded, "Ye Zhenghua, what's wrong with you! This is between us, why are you cursing Xiaohan!"

"Ye Zhenghua, put your hand on your heart and tell me, why did I argue with Ye Linchen today? It's all because of our family's poor financial situation!"

"We agreed back then that Ye Linchen wouldn't be allowed to study, didn't you? What are you doing making a fuss with me now? If you're so capable, then don't have agreed in the first place!"

Ye Zhenghua retorted, "Did I tell you when I came back today that Xiao Chen has good grades and can go to school? Why didn't you listen?"

Meng Xueyun snorted coldly: "You don't know the value of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. You just say you want her to study, but how are you going to afford it? With the family's current situation, how can we afford to support her education? Even if we bring her back today, we still won't be able to afford to send her to school!"

"Stop Meng Zihan's tutoring," Ye Zhenghua said without hesitation.

Meng Zihan's face turned deathly pale, and she didn't even have time to cry.

If her tutoring is really stopped, she definitely won't get into university!

What if Ye Linchen passes the exam, but she doesn't?

Just thinking about that possibility makes her feel suffocated!

Fortunately, Meng Xueyun protected her and firmly opposed it.

"No! Xiaohan is going to university, her tutoring can't stop!"

“Then you go to work, and I’ll talk to the union and ask them to arrange a job for you.”

"No way!" Meng Xueyun shrieked. "I have to take care of my family, how can I have time to go out and work? I'm so old, what good job can the union arrange for me? It's either a cleaner or a bathhouse lady, you want me to lower myself to do those manual labor jobs? Ye Zhenghua, do you have any conscience!"

"If Xiaochen goes to work, she'll be doing the same things. If she can do it, why can't you?"

"Ye Linchen is just a wild girl from the countryside. We're already being generous by giving her a job. What right does she have to be picky?"

Listening to Meng Xueyun's words, Ye Zhenghua felt for the first time that his wife was unreasonable.

"Why is she in the countryside? It's all because of your dereliction of duty as a mother! I'm telling you, Meng Xueyun, you either go to work, or we get a divorce, and you take Meng Zihan and get out of the Ye family!"

"As a workshop foreman, I have more than enough ability to support three children!"

He provoked Meng Xueyun to the point of completely losing her temper, and she screamed.

"Ye Zhenghua, you have no conscience! Are you having an affair and using this as an excuse to divorce me? Let me tell you, fine, let's get a divorce! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Meng Zihan was so frightened that she quickly pulled Meng Xueyun away.

She didn't want to go with Meng Xueyun.

Meng Xueyun has no education and no income. If she really leaves the Ye family, let alone tutoring herself, she will have trouble even making ends meet. How will she go to university?

Meng Xueyun was in a fit of anger and didn't notice her hints, continuing to yell and curse.

"Ye Zhenghua, I'm putting this out there today: in this family, it's either me or Ye Linchen; it's either Ye Linchen or me. I've had enough of suffering and poverty with you. Let's get a divorce!"

Meng Zihan wanted to cover Meng Xueyun's mouth, but she didn't dare.

She groaned "Ouch!" interrupting Meng Xueyun's roar.

"Auntie! Auntie! I feel dizzy!"

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and fell into Meng Xueyun's arms.

Meng Xueyun, no longer caring about arguing, hugged Meng Zihan and exclaimed in surprise.

"Xiaohan! Xiaohan, what's wrong with you!"
