Yu Dazhu sat there like a stone statue, looking at his mother. He didn't understand why his mother would still make things difficult for him even after they had separated from the family.

The mother-in-law stood in the middle of the yard with her hands on her hips, shouting menacingly, "Eldest son, this marriage must end! There's no room for discussion!"

Why aren't you saying anything?

Is he mute?

You used to listen to your mother the most, how come you've become like this?

"You protected Cheng Yuan before, and even though you hit your third brother, I didn't blame you."

"Are you still going to oppose me now because of this spendthrift woman?"

I think you've been bewitched by that spendthrift woman, that's why you're doing this.

If you continue to let her instigate you like this, your life will be ruined.

Wang increasingly believed that her eldest son's decision not to invite her, his mother, to meals was instigated by his daughter-in-law.

So she wanted to send this woman back to her parents' home.

Yu Dazhu looked pained, his brows furrowed so tightly they looked like they could trap a fly.

He looked at his angry mother, then at his aggrieved wife, his heart a jumble of emotions he couldn't untangle.

"Mother, I really don't want a divorce, please stop forcing me!"

"I'm begging you, please, on my behalf!"

Yu Dazhu pleaded, his voice trembling with tears.

The seven-foot-tall man looked like a helpless child at that moment, which was heartbreaking.

Upon hearing this, Wang's anger flared even more: "You good-for-nothing! I'm doing this for your own good! This daughter-in-law is no good!"

She's so wasteful, giving away her daily wage of three yuan so easily.

And these meals, she must have prepared them all herself, right?

"Isn't it all money from our Yu family that's being spent?"

Pan Cuilian stood to the side, tears welling up in her eyes, but she held them back from falling.

Li Hehua was secretly delighted; her mother-in-law was truly formidable!

Yu Dazhu has been forced into this state; it remains to be seen what his brother-in-law will choose.

The villagers couldn't stand it anymore.

So the discussion started again.

Someone muttered under their breath, "This mother-in-law is too domineering. How can she break up a young couple like this?"

“Exactly, exactly. The young couple was doing just fine, why did they have to cause this trouble?” another person chimed in.

The village chief's wife couldn't stand it anymore and said directly, "Aunt Wang, why are you doing this? What good will it do you to force Dazhu and his wife to separate?"

I see that you have been a widow for many years, so do you want Dazhu to be like you?

Why don't you let Yu Sanzhu and his wife get divorced?

Everyone burst into laughter, but to the old woman, the laughter sounded particularly grating.

She turned around abruptly and glared at the crowd: "What are you laughing at! What's so funny!"

This is a family matter for the Yu family. All of you, get out of here!

You're full, now get out of here!

Take out the money before you get out.

"They're all just being greedy. She's just a daughter-in-law, not a daughter. What's so special about her?"

Wang, oblivious to her own mortality, spoke arrogantly, relying on her age.

“Mother, you don’t need to do this. These villagers are guests I invited. You have no right to make them leave.”

And I'll tell you now, if you insist that I divorce Cuilian...

Then I have no choice but to give up on you; you forced me to this."

Yu Dazhu simply lowered his head and remained silent for a while before raising his head and speaking, his eyes filled with determination.

Yu Chengyuan nodded to himself. If his father abandoned his mother because of Wang Shi, he would definitely let his father live with Wang Shi and the others.

At worst, I'll just not have this father. A father who abandons his wife in a crucial moment is better off without!

Zhou Jianguo originally wanted to say a few words of advice, but seeing Wang's ugly face, he didn't say anything.

"You... Yu Dazhu, you ingrate! You'd even abandon your own mother for this woman?"

I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your father today.

I'll beat you to death, you unfilial son…”

Enraged, Wang reached out to hit him, but her grandson grabbed her arm and threw her to the ground.

"You old hag, you insulted my mother, and now you want to beat my father. Do you really think our eldest son's family has no one to rely on?"

Fearing that their son was acting too impulsively, Yu Dazhu's parents quickly pulled him back.

"Chengyuan, don't be impulsive!"

Pan Cuilian choked up as she spoke.

This mother-in-law has never liked her and favors her second and third sons' wives. She doesn't know what she did wrong.

She does the most work at home, yet she eats the least.

She was the one who took care of the old lady at her bedside when she was sick.

"Mother, please don't pressure Dazhu anymore. Anyway, neither of us will get a divorce."

I can't leave him, and he can't leave me.

Pan Cuilian wiped away her tears, her tone extremely firm and domineering.

"Uncle Zhou, since my father has already made his choice."

Then let my father sever ties with Old Lady Wang!

Anyway, she never treated my dad like a son.

"It doesn't matter whether he has my father as a son or not, it doesn't matter whether he has us two grandsons or not."

This is a good opportunity to sever ties with the family; after all, it was this old woman who suggested it.

If they bring it up, it will give others grounds for criticism.

They say they are unfilial, that they don't even want their own mother anymore.

However, the point made by Wang is that it's not a matter of whether they are filial or not; it's that she doesn't want her son, not that her son doesn't recognize his mother.

Zhou Jianguo glanced at Yu Dazhu, then looked at Wang Shi and asked, "Aunt Wang, what do you think?"

"Sever ties with family if you will. It makes no difference whether you have such an unfilial son or not!"
