Zhang Yusong felt that he had been wronged to receive this beating.

As the saying goes, "A wife I marry is like a horse I buy; I can ride her as I please and beat her as I please."

Besides, he didn't always beat his wife. It's just that Li Lan hadn't given him a son all these years, and when his father and stepmother made sarcastic remarks, he couldn't control his temper.

"Dalan, Dalan, are you just going to stand by and watch someone beat me up?"

Zhang Yusong looked at Li Lan, who had a cold expression, in disbelief.

Before Li Lan could speak, Li Xiangdong twisted his foot hard, and Zhang Yusong's fingers felt like they were about to break, causing him to yell "Ouch!" in pain again.

The voice was hoarse from shouting!

Xiao Xiangzi, who lived across the street, peeked through the crack in his doorway, banging on the door and calling out to Li Xiangdong, "Second Brother, Second Brother! Let me in! Did you slaughter a pig? It sounds so noisy!"

Li Jiabao opened the door, handed Xiao Xiangzi a box of firecrackers, and pushed him out, saying, "Go play somewhere else!"

Little Xiangzi carefully carried the firecrackers as he walked out, turning back reluctantly as he went. "Third Brother, let me join in the fun! We're all family!"

"Don't try to provoke anything!"

After Li Jiabao pushed him away, he quickly closed the door tightly.

Seeing that he couldn't get in, Xiao Xiangzi had no choice but to walk home disappointed.

There was a woman standing outside Li Jin's house, also peering inside like him!

Aunt Li was happily cracking sunflower seeds in her hand. She had originally come to her eldest brother's house to ask her eldest sister to give her mother a way out, but she ended up witnessing this good show.

She grabbed Xiao Xiangzi and asked him three questions eagerly, "How's it going inside? Who's fighting with whom? Did you see clearly?"

Xiao Xiangzi shook his head with a regretful look, "They're slaughtering pigs inside, it's so lively, it's a pity they won't let me in."

Li Sangu: ...

She knew it couldn't be a pig slaughter; something must have happened inside. Unfortunately, she couldn't get in, so she could only wait and see.

Inside the house.

Zhang Yusong lay on the ground, weakly saying, "I'll talk, I'll talk, stop stepping on me! Your fingers are connected to your heart, brother-in-law!"

"I didn't mean to upset Dalan; we really do have feelings for each other. It's just that, well, she gave birth to a girl, which makes me lose face!"

Li Ying spat in his face and said, "With a coward like you, you should be grateful even if my sister gives birth to a monkey!"

There's really nothing more to ask.

In the past, not being able to give birth to a son was a great sin.

Now, in some people's eyes, it's the same.

Li Xiangdong looked at Li Lan, "Big sister, are you getting a divorce?"

Li Lan's mood became completely calm at this moment. If there was still a lingering filter of first love before, seeing his bruised and swollen face now, the filter has been completely shattered!

"Divorce! Divorce right now!"

When he uttered those decisive words, Zhang Yusong's eyes widened in shock.

This, this, isn't this just a quarrel between husband and wife? How did it escalate to the point of mentioning divorce?

He can't get a divorce. Although he threatens Li Lan every day, saying that there are young, unmarried women lining up to marry him after he gets a divorce, doesn't he know whether that's true or not?

Although Li Lan gave birth to a child who was a financial burden, he will remain a bachelor after the divorce!

Compared to his childlessness and miserable old age, he could only feel sorry for his ancestors!

Aunt Li was also extremely surprised. She thought today was just a way to teach Zhang Yusong a lesson so that he would treat his niece better in the future!

However, she remained calm and said nothing, waiting to see how things would develop.

Li Xiangdong had already drafted a divorce agreement, and was just waiting for the two of them to sign it before sending it to the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain a divorce certificate.

There is no cooling-off period now; it can be said that you can get a divorce immediately.

Li Lan took the divorce agreement and pen and quickly wrote her name on it.

Then he tossed the pen to Zhang Yusong and said, "Sign!"

Zhang Yusong squinted his swollen, peach-like eyes as he looked at the divorce agreement. "This isn't right! Xiao Huan'er is my daughter, how can she go with you!"

As long as he insists on not letting go of Xiao Huan'er, given his wife's doting nature, she definitely won't divorce him!

Li Lan trembled with anger, "What do you need Xiao Huan'er for? To be abused by your stepmother?"

"We can't let him abuse us like this!"

Li Xiangdong switched hands, twisted his toe hard, and Zhang Yusong let out another howl, "Here, take it!"

After agreeing on Zhang Huan's custody, Zhang Yusong endured the pain and continued reading. "This is robbery! I can't even raise a thousand yuan by selling the house!"

With a flick of the toe.

"Ah—just kill me, even if you kill me you won't have that much money—"

Li Xiangdong squatted down and lifted his chin with his hand. "That's a great suggestion! How about I kill you to vent my anger? My older sister won't need to get a divorce. As long as she becomes a widow, everything in the house will be hers."

Zhang Yusong retreated in fear. Wasn't this brother-in-law just a simpleton who only knew how to eat and play?

How come you've turned into a ruthless killer after just a few years?

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I just... could you make it cheaper?"

Zhang Yusong's tone of voice has changed.

"Really not?"

"No, I really didn't! I'd be a monster if I lied to you!"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. We're relatives after all, and we can't just stand by and watch you go bankrupt and become homeless!"

Li Xiangdong sighed deeply, looking helpless.

Zhang Yusong was overjoyed.

Those watching nearby frowned. Why was Xiang Dong so soft-hearted?

Are we still getting a divorce?

However, they still knew something about Li Xiangdong and did not stand up to question him.

Looking at Zhang Yusong's beaming face, Li Xiangdong leaned close to him and whispered, "Tell me the recipe for Greenery Forever, and I'll let you off the hook."

Zhang Yusong shuddered, the joy on his face vanished instantly, and he stammered, "Um, what does 'eternal greenery' mean? I don't know..."

"You really don't know? Well, there's nothing I can do then. Without the recipe, you'll have to go down and ask your grandfather..."

Zhang Yusong gritted his teeth, cursing Li Lan, Li Xiangdong, and all the Li family members in the house in his heart.

Compared to the pain of having unusable recipes hidden at home, I can only feel sorry for my ancestors one more time!

Zhang family ancestors: We're used to it...

Although he had made up his mind, Zhang Yusong was still a little reluctant. "What use is that formula to a country bumpkin like you? Do you want to sell it to a winery? Let me tell you, nobody will buy it!"

"Have you ever sold them?"

"Ah, I just wanted to carry forward the legacy of Greenery Everlasting Wine for our ancestors!"

Why didn't others buy it?

"Well, that's the last thing I'm going to do! I feel like I'd be letting my ancestors down if I sold it!"

Seeing his stubborn and unruly expression, Li Xiangdong spoke to him kindly, "Give me the formula, and I will never reveal it to anyone else. Your ancestors will never know."
