Chapter 272 Don't you think he's embarrassed enough already?

He said this with a sad smile.

"...Yeah, that's right. She's your mother, the one who gave birth to you and raised you. No matter how much I try to please her, if she wants to get rid of me, she has plenty of ways and means. One word she says is worth ten of mine. I... am just an outsider. Forget it... I'm not going to try to please her anymore. Navy, let's get a divorce. If we get a divorce, your mother won't target me like this anymore. I... am really tired."

She turned around, carrying the child, and went back into the house to pack her things, intending to beat someone up.

Zhang Haijun frowned and stood up to stop him, saying, "What are you doing? I didn't say you were the one who drugged me."

"I've only been home for two days, and look at all the trouble your mom has caused!!"

Su Hongying looked at him and found that the man's eyes only showed impatience towards her, without any pity or concern. Her heart turned cold, but she said aggrievedly, "I just finished my postpartum confinement. I have to get up at night to breastfeed, and I spend half the day busy cooking to please her. She still wants to frame me and harm me, and wants to send me to jail! I'm so tired. Being a daughter-in-law of the Zhang family is not easy. I'm not doing it anymore."

"...Alright, stop messing around."

Zhang Haijun reached out to stop her, but Su Hongying simply stopped packing her clothes and walked out with her child in her arms.

Zhang Haijun's outstretched hand missed its target, and he paused for a moment before glancing at Su Hongying.

She was so angry and resentful that she didn't even want him anymore.

Zhang Haijun turned to look at Zheng Xiulan with a reproachful expression. His mother was becoming more and more outrageous.

Zheng Xiulan was startled by her son's gaze and shouted, "Su Hongying, leave the child here! He is a member of the Zhang family; you cannot take him away."

Su Hongying paused in her tracks.

She turned and handed the child to Zhang Haijun, saying, "Brother Haijun, you see? Your mother just wants to get rid of me. I'm leaving. Remember to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow, and we'll get the divorce certificate."

After saying that, he took a few quick steps, opened the door, and was about to leave.

"Su Hongying!"

Zhang Haijun caught up with her in a few steps, grabbed her, and turned to question Zheng Xiulan.

"Mom, is this what you wanted? You'd only be happy if my son were motherless and I were without a wife?"

Zheng Xiulan was furious. "She wanted to leave on her own!"

"If you don't frame her, will she be driven to the point of wanting to leave?"

Zhang Haijun was furious. "Mom, you've gone too far!"

He felt that his mother didn't respect him at all, otherwise why would she always target his wife?

Why haven't I seen her bully the second son's family like this before?!

What's the difference between her kicking Su Hongying out and kicking him out?

Zhang Haijun was angry and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He grabbed Su Hongying and said, "Take the things with you, let's go together."

Zheng Xiulan was dumbfounded.

"Navy, where are you going?"

Zhang Haijun looked at her coldly, "I'll vacate the house for you. Don't you dislike us? We won't show up in front of you anymore and get in your way."

Zheng Xiulan, "..."

She glanced at Su Hongying, whose eyes were full of mockery.

Zheng Xiulan grabbed Zhang Haijun's arm, "Haijun, wake up! Su Hongying is really different now. She's a troublemaker. She can't stand seeing our relationship as mother and son. She's doing it on purpose..."

"Yes, I did it on purpose."

Su Hongying scoffed, "I deliberately carried the baby, ignoring my still weak body after giving birth, and spent the whole morning preparing and running to deliver food to you. Otherwise, how would you have found the opportunity to drug yourself and frame me?! I deliberately acted nice to you on the surface while doing bad things behind your back, all to destroy the loving relationship between you and your child. Do you think I have nothing better to do..."

“Haijun, look, she’s already admitted it.” Zheng Xiulan pointed at Su Hongying and complained to Zhang Haijun.

Zhang Haijun's face was indifferent.

I think my own mother is really unreasonable.

Even at this point, you're still trying to smear your daughter-in-law?!

Su Hongying is so naive and easily fooled. She would believe anyone who flatters her or says nice things. Would she really be so premeditated and planned to harm someone?

Is he an idiot?

Zhang Haijun pushed Zheng Xiulan's hand away and said, "Mom, you're hopeless."

He took Su Hongying's hand and left the house. In the hallway, some neighbors who were cooking were listening intently. When they saw them come out, they exclaimed and asked, "Haijun, what's going on with you and your wife? What happened?"

Zhang Haijun's body tensed instantly.

Su Hongying quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile. "It's okay, I miss my parents' home. I'm going back with my husband to visit them. My mother-in-law can't bear to part with her eldest grandson, right, Navy Brother?"

Zhang Haijun hummed in agreement, nodded to his neighbors, and prepared to leave.

The police officer came out of the house. "Zhang Haijun."

Zhang Haijun inwardly cursed, his anger making him forget that the police were still at home.

"Are you still going to sue or not? If you're not, we'll treat today's matter as a family dispute and leave it alone. If you do sue, we'll take the evidence back to the station, and you'll have to come with us to the police station to give statements. We'll file a public prosecution another day..." the police officer said.

Zhang Haijun felt a chill run down his spine and quickly said, "We won't sue."

The police officer nodded.

Su Hongying suddenly spoke up and asked the police, "If we choose to file a complaint, will the person who drugged us be arrested and sent to jail?"

The two policemen exchanged a glance and nodded.

He said, "If the evidence is conclusive, drugging someone is a criminal offense and will be punished according to the law... Yes."

Su Hongying stared blankly at Zhang Haijun for a few seconds, her eyes unfocused, before suddenly becoming agitated.

He yelled, "Zhang Haijun, did you hear that?! Your mother drugged herself and framed me. She wants to send me to jail!"

When Zhang Haijun heard what she shouted, his mind went blank. By the time he realized what was happening and tried to stop her, everyone had already heard it.

The neighbors who were watching the commotion in the hallway almost simultaneously gasped in shock.

The Zhang family members' expressions all changed.

"Shut up now."

Zhang Haijun's forehead veins throbbed with anger; neither of them gave him any peace of mind!

He gritted his teeth and cursed Su Hongying, "I already said I wouldn't press charges, didn't you hear me? Why are you still talking nonsense about going to jail?"

Su Hongying covered her face and squatted on the ground, crying loudly.

"What are you pretending for? Stop crying! You're the one who drugged my son, so don't play innocent in front of him!"

Zheng Xiulan cursed, "Why did you have to cry in the stairwell? You're just trying to make others see you cry. I think you just want to cause trouble for our Zhang family."

"I told you it wasn't me, why do you insist it was me!"

Su Hongying roared, lunged forward, and leaned against the railing, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked around. "I'll jump down to prove my innocence, okay? Navy Brother, you see, it's your mother who's trying to drive me to my death. She just can't stand me..."

"Go ahead and jump! Anyone can pretend..."

Su Hongying flipped one foot up, and everyone screamed in fright.

"mom!"

Zhang Haijun was so angry he wanted to eat Zheng Xiulan alive. With so many people watching, did she think he wasn't embarrassed enough?
