Chapter 191 You reap what you sow

He turned and glared fiercely at his young wife. "I told you a thousand times not to tell anyone, what did you promise me? Huh!"

"...If you can do it, why can't I say it?"

The young wife glanced at her brother and sister-in-law, then slightly raised her chin.

She just didn't want her second sister-in-law to have an easy time in her husband's family. She didn't want a divorce, and her brother and sister-in-law certainly didn't want her to divorce and go back.

At the Fang family's house, she would occasionally bring back some nice things.

Another reason is that her older brother is the son-in-law of the village party secretary. Her parents, brother, and sister-in-law are very proud of her, and so many people in the village envy them. That's why they are reluctant to let Fang Weidong divorce them.

Thinking of these things, the young wife's anxiety eased slightly.

Seeing her like this, Fang Xiaodi was so angry he wanted to punch her.

Brother Fang held him down and said, "Don't waste your breath on them. We can't tolerate a daughter-in-law who makes our home a mess..."

"Big brother."

Brother Fang shook his head at him.

Looking up at his wife's brother and sister-in-law, he said, "Take her away and get the divorce certificate another day. If she wants to keep the child, send her back to our Fang family after the birth, and we'll raise her. If she doesn't want to keep the child, then set a time to go to the hospital and have an abortion. Our Fang family won't skimp on any of the expenses. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other."

Having served as the village party secretary for several years, he deliberately controlled his tone when he said this, standing there exuding an air of authority without being angry.

The young wife's brother and sister-in-law were somewhat timid.

The two men looked at each other, and the younger sister's brother gave a forced smile. "Secretary Fang, this was my sister's fault. How about this, give her a chance to change. She's always been obedient and sensible since she was little; maybe she's just having a fit today..."

He looked at his wife.

The young wife and second sister-in-law quickly agreed with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, women are more likely to lose control when they're pregnant. This is temporary, right, girl?"

The couple gave their daughter-in-law a meaningful look, trying to get her to back down.

The young woman froze, her anxiety, which had just subsided, suddenly surged again.

She hadn't expected her brother and sister-in-law to be so incompetent, giving up in just a few words, even less capable than her.

She could at least argue with the Fang family.

"Well, we have some things to take care of at home, so we'll head back now. Sis, you and your brother-in-law should get along well. Don't act like a child anymore. Apologize to your second sister-in-law later. You know, words sometimes clash, right?"

The young wife, Second Sister-in-law, rolled her eyes, rattled off a string of words, tugged at her husband, and prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

Brother Fang stopped the man and looked at his younger brother. The younger brother turned around, went back into the house, picked up a few pieces of his wife's clothes, and threw them over.

The young wife and second sister-in-law exclaimed "Oh dear!" and caught it right there.

"this……"

The second sister-in-law looked displeased and glared at her younger sister-in-law.

Seeing that the family was serious, the young woman shivered and shook her head at Fang's younger brother, "No, I won't leave! I'm carrying your family's child, just because I said a few unpleasant things..."

Brother Fang and Brother Fang both looked at her coldly.

The young wife paused, bit her lip, and remained stubborn, "Then the Su family didn't do anything to my second sister-in-law, did they? Su Laosan even said they all liked my second sister-in-law. Since my second sister-in-law didn't suffer any loss, why are you kicking me out? This is not fair."

"The Su family didn't do anything to Erniu because Erniu herself is good. The Su family is good, what does that have to do with you?"

Erniu's mother was utterly fed up with her behavior. Her usual act of being obedient and filial was all a lie!

"You're being unfair! If you think it's unfair, go find your parents!"

Erniu's mother waved her hand, telling Fang Xiaodi to quickly chase the man away; she didn't want to see the cargo handler even once more.

"Please."

Brother Fang spoke up, and his wife and brother-in-law exchanged a glance, then pushed the cart and chuckled awkwardly, "We only rode one bike here, so... we'll come pick up my sister another day."

As they walked out, the second sister-in-law gave the second brother a push. The second brother got on the bike, and she jumped on. The two of them fled as if there were fierce tigers and hungry wolves behind them.

The Fang family, "..."

The young wife breathed a sigh of relief and tugged at the hem of her younger brother's clothes.

Ruanruan said, "Brother Dong, I know I was wrong. I'll apologize to Second Sister later. Please ask Mom and Big Brother not to kick me out, okay? I'm the one who'll spend my whole life with you..."

Upon hearing this, Erniu's mother glared at them and called to Fang Xiaodi, "Get on your bike and take her back to me right now! I don't want to see her for even a minute longer!"

"...Yes, Mom."

Looking at his obedient wife and remembering her usual understanding nature, Fang Xiaodi closed his eyes, went to get the family bicycle, and let his wife get on.

The young wife doesn't sit.

"If you don't want to take a car, you can walk back. It's your choice," said Fang Xiaodi.

The young woman shook her head and backed away, so Fang Xiaodi simply stopped the car and pulled her out.

“Fang Weidong, we are husband and wife, husband and wife are one. If they look down on me, they also look down on you. If you divorce me, you will be doing what they want. Who will do your laundry and cook for you? Who will warm your bed and give birth to your child? I'm carrying your daughter, you…”

Fang Xiaodi didn't say a word, just pulled her along and kept walking forward.

Many villagers were drawn by the young woman's cries and gathered around to ask what was going on. The young woman wiped away her tears and explained the situation to everyone. After she finished speaking, Fang Xiaodi casually said that in front of the matchmaker and my second sister's future mother-in-law, she said that my second sister was lazy and didn't deserve to marry into such a good family.

With just this one sentence, the villagers who had come to watch the commotion stopped speaking up for the young woman.

A bad marriage deserves to be struck by lightning.

That little wife is so wicked.

When it got dark, they arrived at the young wife's parents' house. Fang Xiaodi left her there and turned to leave.

The young woman cried all the way when she saw her parents, her three older brothers and sisters-in-law, and a group of nephews and nieces dressed in rags, their faces, necks, fingers, and other parts of their bodies covered in black grime.

Thinking back to the hard times I spent as a daughter in my parents' home, I didn't have my own room and had to share a room with my nephews and nieces. During the day, I did farm work and housework, and at night I was also busy taking care of my infant nephews and nieces who were not well-fed or clothed...

Then I thought about what I would face after the divorce.

She completely broke down!

"Brother Dong, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

She staggered as she tried to catch up with Fang Xiaodi, but he looked at her coldly and said, "You reap what you sow. This is your harvest. If you dare to chase after me, I'll send you back again and tell everyone in the surrounding villages about what you've done."

"Fang Weidong!"

The young wife cried out, "Even a day as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness! I'm carrying your child! I was wrong, I'll change, okay? Why are you being so cruel to me..."

Fang Xiaodi gave her a deep look, said nothing, and walked away.

The young woman took two steps after him, but tripped over something and fell to the ground with a start.

"Ah, my child..."

Upon hearing the cries, Fang Xiaodi paused slightly, his hands trembled for a moment, then he clenched them tightly, took a deep breath, and strode towards home.

Meanwhile, Su Laosan stayed at the Fang family's house until it was almost dark before returning to his courtyard.

He frowned as soon as he entered the courtyard.

“...I’ll stay here to take care of my grandson’s wife during her postpartum period and help her take care of the baby, so you can go to work without worry.”

Su Laosan scoffed, "Grandma, aren't you ashamed to say that? When my mom was taking care of us brothers, you complained about all sorts of aches and pains and didn't want to live with us, saying we were a hassle. Now you're helping your sister-in-law take care of the kids?"
