Wu Zhaodi's face turned pale. She hadn't expected Xia Jianguo to be so resolute. Even his father's presence had no effect.

"I...I...no, I was just too tired from cooking and housework, I didn't...have time for you!"

Xia Jianguo felt he had said everything he needed to say and didn't say anything more, but his intention to divorce was very clear.

Old Wu had no choice but to turn his gaze to Old Xia: "My dear in-law, say something. These two have such grown children, how can they get a divorce?"

Actually, he's feeling guilty now. His daughter has brought too much money home over the years, and his in-laws are definitely unhappy about it. Who knows how happy they'll be to see their son and daughter-in-law get divorced?

Seeing that Xia Jianguo was so determined to get a divorce, Old Man Xia could no longer stand by and watch the show, since he didn't want the two of them to divorce.

"Second son, there's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight between husband and wife. Your wife did do a lot of work for us before, so it's not her fault that she didn't have time to take care of you. From now on, let her focus on taking care of you. Your sister-in-law and brother's wife can take care of the housework!"

Old Man Xia spoke with righteous indignation, as if giving a command: "Don't mention divorce again!"

Old Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, the Xia family was on their side. He thought to himself, his daughter worked like an ox every day in the Xia family. How could they bear to let Xia Jianguo get a divorce?

Old Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Oh, right, it's normal for couples to quarrel in life. Don't bring up divorce so easily in the future."

Xia Jianguo ignored the two of them and looked at the captain, saying, "Brother Guohua, my decision is not changing. I'll go to the county to get a divorce certificate in the next couple of days."

If Wu Zhaodi doesn't agree to the divorce, they'll probably have to drag it out for a few more days, since they'll both have to go to the county to get their divorce certificates.

Nowadays, marriages are often just for show, but he was framed and ended up with Wu Zhaodi, so they have a marriage certificate. Getting a divorce would be more complicated.

However, he was patient and believed that as long as Wu Zhaodi could not get any benefits from him, she would soon agree to the divorce on her own.

After all, Wu Zhaodi was extremely disgusted with her paralyzed state. If it weren't for these few benefits keeping her hanging on, she probably would have taken the initiative to file for divorce long ago!

The captain sighed, didn't try to persuade him further, just nodded and said okay, and then said nothing more.

Old Man Xia realized what Xia Jianguo meant, and his heart skipped a beat. He felt that this man was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, and it seemed that he should hurry up and write a letter to his son.

"Xia Jianguo, what do you mean? Are you not listening to what your father said?"

Xia Jianguo looked sharply at his father: "I must get a divorce. No one can stop me. You don't need to waste your breath."

It doesn't matter if I wait a few more days; I need to show these people my determination.

“Brother-in-law, don’t forget, your daughter beat up our whole family. If we were relatives, we would have just apologized and let it go. But if we’re not relatives, we’re going to report it to the police.”

Seeing that neither his father nor Old Man Xia could persuade Xia Jianguo, Wu Guangli began to threaten people.

Since Xia Jianguo values ​​his newly adopted daughter so much, I don't believe he would dare to divorce his sister if she were used as a threat.

Moreover, if this works, they won't have to sneak around to ask for money in the future.

Sure enough, Xia Jianguo frowned instantly upon hearing this. Other things posed no threat to him, but he dared not be careless when his daughter was involved.

Seeing her father fall silent, Xia Wan knew he was worried about her, so she took the initiative to say, "Then go ahead and call the police. Let's see what they say when they come. If they make me pay money, it's not like I can't afford it."

Wu Guangli was in a hurry and looked at Xia Jianguo, saying, "Alright, alright, since you've said so, then we'll report it to the police tomorrow, and we definitely won't let your daughter off the hook then."

We've already gone out drinking. Even if we get divorced, I can just find my sister another man. But you, a good-for-nothing, what will you do after the divorce?

Xia Wan patted her father's shoulder to indicate that he was fine and didn't need to worry about her.

Anyway, it was the Wu family who started the trouble, and apart from Wu Baoping having a handprint on his face, no one else had any external injuries.

"Sigh... It's not worth reporting this to the police. We're all from the same village. Even if we're divorced, we'll still run into each other all the time. There's no need to make things so tense."

The captain tried to smooth things over, although he also felt that the Wu family had caused trouble and that's why they were beaten. But now that the police were involved, even a small matter could escalate into a big one.

Seeing that Xia Jianguo remained silent, Old Wu assumed that his son's threat had worked and smiled as he spoke.

“We didn’t want things to get this bad. But we can’t let my daughter and grandson be bullied, can we? Captain, you know that Baoping is our only precious grandson. How can he be bullied?”

Old Wu glanced at the brigade leader, a hint of smugness on his face, as if he felt he had Xia Jianguo under his control.

"Since you're both angry, try to calm down. Son-in-law, you should also think about it. It's better not to say such angry things in the future."

Old Man Xia looked at Xia Jianguo with disdain: "That's right, calm down. From now on, Zhaodi will move into Jianguo's room. Don't let sleeping in separate rooms cause conflicts."

Xia Jianguo didn't say a word, seemingly having been completely taken care of by these two old men, and he couldn't help but want to laugh. Did they really think he was a fool?

Seeing the smug expression on Wu Zhaodi's face again, Xia Jianguo really didn't want to say anything more. Anyway, he had made up his mind to divorce her. Let's see if Wu Zhaodi can still get help from the Wu family if she stops sending things to her parents' home.

"No need. Taozi and I will share a room. You can reconsider the divorce. I don't want to make a big deal out of it. If you insist on making trouble, then I'll have to find a way to get you to agree."

While saying it was you, Xia Jianguo's eyes were actually fixed on Wu Zhaodi the whole time, hoping she would be more sensible and stop causing so much trouble.

“I will absolutely not get a divorce. If you keep pressuring me, I will sue you for indecent assault.”

Wu Zhaodi gritted her teeth as she looked at the good-for-nothing she had always looked down on, never expecting that he would dare to ask her for a divorce.

"Do as you please, you can sue me anytime." Xia Jianguo didn't explain much, only saying simply, "From now on, don't even think about getting a single penny from me, and I won't give you anything else."

He wanted to say these things in front of the Wu family, to let them know how difficult their future situation would be, and that there was nothing good left for Wu Zhaodi to take back to her parents' home!
