Chapter 142 I can't live without you.

Zhou Hong is a woman, so Xie Jianshe can't use his hands or words against her!

Xie Yanli received Xie Jianshe's message and mustered up her courage to step forward: "That's my job, even my name is on the payslip."

"I don't want it anymore, why can't I sell it?"

Although the voice was very soft, with Xie Jianshe behind them, it was a rare act of resistance in recent years!

Zhou Hong stared at Xie Yanli in shock. Was this her spineless sister-in-law? Ha... had she come back to her parents' home to find a savior?

They've really gotten themselves into a lot of trouble!

"Xie Yanli, I'm giving you face now. Go and take back your paperwork right now, and I might forgive you!"

otherwise……

"Just you wait until my brother divorces you!"

Zhou Hong made shameless threats.

Xie Yanli's eyes were red. It's always like this, always like this. They always bully her like this. Do they think she looks so easy to bully?

With a heavy heart, she shouted, "Fine, let's get a divorce! Who's afraid of who! Go back now and make Brother i divorce me!"

Zhou Hong fell silent!

She looked at Xie Yanli with suspicion.

After a long pause, as if he had suddenly realized something, he let out a cold laugh: "You have a man outside?"

Yes or no

Do you have another man outside? Otherwise, why do you want to divorce my brother?

My brother is so good to you!

They even let you stay home as a full-time housewife! How lucky you are! You don't have to do anything and just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.

What a great thing!

Why do you want a divorce instead of enjoying your happiness?

"Tell me, who is that man? How can you be so shameless! Xie Yanli, I really misjudged you!"

Xie Yanli's mouth is clearly not as nimble as Zhou Hong's.

She was so angry that her nails dug into her palms.

"You...you...you're talking nonsense! I didn't, you can't say that about me! I didn't!"

Zhou Hong thought she had something on the Xie family and said arrogantly, "Come on, didn't you want a divorce? Let's go!"

"Who would want a haggard old woman like you?"

Xie Jianshe's eyes grew increasingly dangerous. He disdained arguing with women! But... the price still had to be paid!

Before setting off, I said a few words to my comrades before leaving!

The job has already been sold, and Zhou Hong will probably receive a notification this afternoon.

So when she found out that the matter was already settled, she was furious!

The thought of how her in-laws would view her if she lost her job made her feel guilty and upset.

But she didn't know that she had to endure far more than that.

It was noon, and everyone had come back for lunch.

Zhou's mother was scolding people at home: "What kind of upbringing is this? Look at the good wife you married."

He doesn't cook when he should be cooking, and he doesn't go home when he should be going home.

Born into poverty, does she really think she's a rich young lady from a wealthy family?

What's with the fuss?

"Mom, she's not here, so just say less and cook! You have to go to work this afternoon."

Zhou Tao said impatiently.

Zhou's mother snorted twice: "Do you think I wanted to say that? I told you from the beginning that it was no, but you insisted on liking it."

Now look what you're going to do about this.

When are you going to call for help?

Zhou Tao said dismissively, "I'm not going. I'll be back in a couple of days! Besides, Xie Jianshe is at home, have you forgotten?"

I dare to go.

Zhou's mother sighed: "You know, her mother was there, how could you lay a hand on her! You broke her head, weren't you afraid?"

Zhou Tao said guiltily, "Then they definitely can't go back and tell, right? How embarrassing!"

"Pah! You better pray! If that brat Yanli tells Xie Jianshe, you'll see if he doesn't beat you up!"

I'm telling you, no matter what method you use, get that brat back here right now. There's just too much chores to do around the house every day.

I still have to cook, it's so tiring!

Xie Yanli was humiliated outside. They took advantage of her pride and bullied her so brazenly.

"Mother?"

"Mom? You're back?"

Xie Yanli turned around and saw her son and daughter!

"My child, Mom is back!"

The son glared at her: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Who are you threatening by not coming home these past few days?"

"I don't like Grandma's cooking, how can you bear to let me eat it?"

"Son, Mom..."

"Stop explaining! It's so annoying! All you do is talk and talk, just like Grandma said. You might as well be mute."

Go back and cook for me right away.

After saying that, the son went home first.

The daughter timidly tugged at Xie Yanli's sleeve: "Mom, is Grandma feeling better?"

"Hello, Uncle!"

Xie Jianshe looked at his niece, a small child, about three or four years old, thin and frail.

Xie Yanli knelt down and hugged the child tightly: "Dian Dian, did you miss your mother?"

Dian Dian hummed in agreement, then shrank back when she saw Zhou Hong, seemingly quite frightened. Xie Yanli was starting to show signs of motherhood.

Holding Qi Dian, he said to Xie Jianshe, "Come on, let's go inside!"

Zhou Hong: "Tch!"

Before she even reached the door, several dirty clothes were thrown out of the house, landing right on Xie Yanli's head.

"Xie Yanli, you still know how to come back? Don't you have any shame? What are you doing back here? Humph! Since you came back on your own initiative, hurry up and wash the clothes!"

"Are you really going to be that lazy woman?"

"I'll tell you..."

As he spoke, he stepped out, only to be met with a pair of cold and murderous eyes.

"Little...brother-in-law! Hehe...hehehe...what brings you here? Did you come with your sister?"

Have you got a meal yet?

"Oh dear, what bad timing! We just ate dinner at home! Why don't you go home?"

Zhou Tao, feeling guilty, dared not face Xie Jianshe and could only try to drive him away.

"Brother-in-law, what a coincidence! I've already eaten! Come over and have a seat!"

As she spoke, she picked up the clothes from the ground and looked at them: "Oh, you don't want these clothes anymore, right? Your brother-in-law's family is living a good life!"

Since you don't want it anymore, as your brother-in-law, I'll reluctantly help you get rid of it!

Without saying another word, he tore it up.

The kind that's been torn to shreds!

"Oh no, my work clothes! Stop, stop... my clothes..." Zhou Tao tried to snatch them back anxiously, but failed!

Once inside, Zhou Hong finished her complaint in a few tearful words.

This infuriated Zhou's father and mother!

This is my daughter's lifelong happiness!

"Xie Yanli, you shameless slut, look what you've done! How dare you sell my daughter's job?"

ah?

Do you know how good that job is?

"You filthy woman, why don't you just die?" Zhou's mother cursed angrily.

After Zhou's mother finished scolding, she met Xie Jianshe's gaze. Oh no, she had gotten so used to scolding him that she had forgotten his younger brother was there.

But it was too late to back out at that point!

"Oh, your brother-in-law is here? What brings you here?"

Zhou's mother pretended to be nonchalant.

"Ha... So this is what my older sister's life is like at her husband's family home! I've certainly learned something new!"

Xie Jianshe felt there was nothing more to say about such a family!

He said to Xie Yanli, "Big sister, pack your things first! Remember, it's all your belongings!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Xie Yanli was obedient and went immediately!

"stop!"

Zhou Hong shouted sternly.

"Where are you going? Give me back my job first!"

Xie Jianshe smiled and said, "Zhou Hong, right? My older sister's job should be handled by me personally. When did it become yours?"

Zhou Hong remained calm and composed: "My mom gave it to me, so it's mine! I have no idea whose spot it is."

Anyway, I've been working for several years now, and I've always been the one getting paid!

This job is mine!

"Really? That's great! You said it yourself! Since you've been receiving your salary for the past few years, why don't you hand it over?"

I don't need to bother making a trip to the textile factory anymore!

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Hong asked warily.

"Isn't it obvious? My older sister is a full-time office worker, earning 28 yuan a month! There are 12 months in a year, so you've been working for at least three years, right?"

Then let's calculate it as three years! We'll accept the loss!

That comes to 1008 yuan in total! We won't haggle over the change! Here's 1000 yuan!

Let's just let this go!

Otherwise, I'll have to call the police!

"What?!"

A sharp scream came from inside the room. Zhou Hong looked at Xie Jianshe in disbelief: "I've worked all these years, why should I give you all my salary?"

"So what if this job belongs to my older sister? You have a problem with that? Then let's call the police."

If all else fails, which factory does your in-laws work at? I'll go ask the Party Secretary!

"No!" Zhou Hong panicked!

My husband's family is a wealthy family; they all work for the grain bureau. If I hadn't had a job, how could they have possibly chosen me?

If I find out the truth, how will I live my life?

Xie Jianshe looked at Zhou Tao, who panicked and tried to leave.

"Brother-in-law, wait!"

"Where are you going? I still have something to say!"

Zhou Tao chuckled: "What are you talking about? I have things to do at the factory, so I'll be leaving now!"

"Tell your older sister what you need to say."

"You mean you've agreed to divorce my older sister?"

Xie Jianshe said directly.

The Zhou family was dumbfounded!

"What? Divorce?"

"divorce?"

Xie Yanli wants a divorce.

Even Zhou Tao found it unbelievable.

Xie Yanli stepped forward, holding the clothes in her hand, and said firmly, "Yes, I want a divorce!"

"Ha..." Zhou Tao laughed in anger.

"No, Xie Yanli, what are you so proud of? You're divorced, who's going to marry you? How are you going to live?"

You can't live without me!

"Do you dare to get a divorce?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? Zhou Tao, I've really had enough of you! From the very beginning, your family has been lying to me!"

They cheated me out of my dowry and my money!

"You cheated me out of my job! Your whole family has no conscience, why shouldn't I dare to get a divorce?"

Zhou Tao didn't care!

He laughed and said, "Yanli, I know you're angry! I only hit my mother-in-law on the head by accident."

It wasn't intentional!

"Besides, we've been husband and wife for so many years. Haven't I treated you well? Even if you don't care about anything else, we still have two children."

You're not going to care anymore?

Zhou Tao's son, Dou Dou, shouted loudly, "Mom, let me tell you, if you dare to divorce Dad, I will disown you!"

Don't even think about seeing me again!

Xie Yanli's eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Dou Dou, I'm your own mother! How can you talk to me like that?"

"Pshaw! I still have my own grandma, dad, aunt, and grandpa... I'd definitely choose the one with more."

I'll just say one thing: if you dare divorce my dad, I'll disown you!

Dou Dou's words were very resolute, which made Xie Yanli very sad.

Looking at her pitiful daughter, she suddenly made a huge decision.

The Zhou family favors sons over daughters. Dou Dou can live a good life if she stays, but Diandian cannot; they will ignore her.

"Okay, I don't want to..."

"Big sister!"

Xie Jianshe suddenly stopped...

He whispered a few words in Xie Yanli's ear, and Xie Yanli shook her head desperately.

Xie Jianshe looked at her seriously: "Listen to me!"

Xie Yanli knew her brother was doing it for her own good, so...

"Okay, I understand!" he said hoarsely.

Looking up at the Zhou family, she said, "Zhou Tao, let's get a divorce! I don't want either of the children!"

Dian Dian looked at Xie Yanli in shock, her eyes filled with sadness, sorrow, and relief! "If Mom didn't want me, I could have had a better life!"

She pursed her lips and hid in a corner, trying not to cry.

Xie Yanli looked at her pitiful daughter and felt so sad she wanted to cry, but she remembered her brother's words.

Zhou Tao's eyes widened as he pointed at Xie Yanli: "You dare? You don't even want the child? Xie Yanli, tell me honestly, are you having an affair? Huh? You usually love the children so much."

Why not now?

"I don't want that! I just want a divorce! A divorce!"

Zhou Tao shook her head: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I will not get a divorce!"

Zhou's mother also stepped forward to comfort her: "Yanli, what's the big deal! I know your mother is injured and you're very angry!"

But you can't always listen to outsiders!

As he spoke, he glanced at Xie Jianshe.

"Only we are family!"

Xie Jianshe sneered but didn't say anything; this was the Zhou family's turn to put on a show.

Xie Yanli packed her things without even glancing at the children.

Zhou Tao watched Xie Jianshe remain silent and thought to herself, "This must be a warning shot. What family wants their married daughter to divorce and return home?"

Isn't this bad reputation?

Why……

Therefore, Xie Jianshe must have come to warn him, to warn him to be nicer to his sister!

That's why he didn't say anything.

He waited to coax Xie Yanli.

Oh well, we're family anyway, I'll just coax them a bit more.

"Yanli, I was wrong about what happened before! I'm sorry! You know what kind of person I am."

How could I possibly lay a hand on my mother-in-law?

Isn't that right? It was all an accident!

"And look at your two children, they both need you! If you divorce me, they'll be motherless children! How pitiful!"

“Zhou Hong is family, she's my sister and your sister too! What you did about selling jobs today was definitely wrong of you!”

But don't worry, we're all family, I won't let her hold it against you!

OK? "

"In a little while, you can give her a few good dishes, then apologize to her properly, and the matter will be over!"

"You can't just sell your job like that!"

"So, you're letting Honghong down too, aren't you?"

"Oh……"

Xie Yanli let out a bitter laugh: "I... want to go back to my job, and I'm already sorry to her? Zhou Tao, you really have a silver tongue!"

I'm not talking nonsense with you!

The job's already sold! The money's been received! There's no way I'm going to regret it!

Give up! If your family is so capable, why don't they find her a job themselves?

"You... how can you be so stubborn!" Zhou Tao exclaimed angrily.

"I'm definitely not getting a divorce!"

Xie Yanli was surprisingly calm: "If you don't divorce me, I'll go talk to your boss! I'll tell him what happened to the Zhou family."

Tell me how you cheated me out of my dowry money and how you cheated me out of my job!

I think everyone will know who is right and who is wrong!

"Xie Yanli, are you determined to ruin me?"

Zhou Tao was furious; he had never seen Xie Yanli so unreasonable!

Xie Yanli looked at him, her eyes devoid of emotion: "Zhou Tao, haven't I treated you well?"

From the moment we got married, I told you nothing, but what about you? All you did was scheme against me!

How could you do this to me?

The work is done now! I can't go back!

Your sister deserved to lose her job!

Also, from me

Give me back all the dowry money you swindled from me! Otherwise, I'll go to your factory and ask you!

"You...you..."

Zhou Tao was stunned!

Suddenly she laughed again: "Heh... Xie Yanli, I thought you were serious? You just wanted me to coax you, didn't you?"

Okay, I'll coax you. Go to your boss today and tell him you've changed your mind!

"Give the job back to Zhou Hong right away!"

"As for your mother-in-law, I promise you, I'll buy some pastries and go to apologize to her later, okay?"

I know you're concerned about saving face, but this incident really made you lose face!

"Isn't it enough that I'll satisfy you?"

"As long as you live a good life with me, I guarantee you will live a life of luxury!"

Trust me!

Looking at Zhou Tao's affectionate expression, Xie Yanli thought to herself, "Was I fooled by his appearance?"

Willing to give anything?

Oh……

I'm such an idiot!

Xie Yanli packed her things and looked around: the sofa cover was hers, and the bed sheets and blankets in both bedrooms were her dowry...

My sister-in-law is wearing her own shoes...

The coat in my mother-in-law's room was also bought for herself by Jianshe...

This set is part of the dowry, that set is also part of the dowry...

The thermos was bought by Dad, and the water cup was bought by Mom...

My sister bought the towel...

Anyway, everyone saw Xie Yanli in the room saying, "This is mine, that is mine too..." The room was almost empty...

"Stop...stop!"

Zhou's mother was furious!

"Xie Yanli, if you're going to leave, then leave... but why did you take my coat?"

This is made of bison hide.

Xie Yanli said, "This leather jacket was made for me by my younger brother. How does it belong to you? I lent it to you for a few days, and now it's yours?"

Mother-in-law, you're too domineering!

"You're not allowed to take it!" Zhou's mother roared!

Xie Yanli glanced at Xie Jianshe, who pointed outside the door!

Xie Yanli said, "Fine, then let everyone know how you, as a mother-in-law, steal your daughter-in-law's things!"

He was about to leave when he said that...

The Zhou family has no shame!

"no!"

Zhou's mother blocked the doorway!

"Yanli, I've treated you well, how could you treat us like this? You're bullying us too much!"

If you take everything away, what will we use?

Xie Yanli looked at Xie Jianshe again, this time with even more courage!

“I took my things. You think it's too little because everything you use in your house is mine!”

"I'm bullying you? Why don't you let your colleagues come in and see for themselves?"

Zhou's mother was so angry she gritted her teeth!

"Let her take it, let's see how much she can take?"

Before long, Xie Yanli had packed a bunch of things, and the Zhou family members' faces darkened!

Zhou's father was a coward; when he saw Xie Jianshe arrive, he didn't dare to say a word.

Zhou's mother cried and pleaded, "Yanli, what are you doing? You're tearing my heart out! I'm your mother-in-law!"

Over the years, I've treated you like my own child!

But you're going to destroy this family!

"Yanli, how could you do this to me?"

"Child, it's okay to admit your mistake and correct it, right? I'll get them to forgive you!"

Xie Yanli felt very upset. It's happening again.

She used to be at a loss when faced with such subtle threats! But her younger sister taught her how!

We're all experiencing life for the first time, so just speak your mind. Why should we indulge them?

"That mother-in-law is so kind! She treats me like her own daughter, yet she cheated me out of my money? Well then, I'll call you 'Mom,' and you'll give me back all my money!"

Here you go!

Since you treat Zhou Hong like your own mother, then you want her to kowtow and apologize to me? Tell me...

Aren't they the same?

"You...you..."

"What else does Mother-in-law want to say? I won't listen to anything except giving you money! Zhou Tao, you must return my dowry to me today, or... I won't let you get away with this!"

This was the first time Xie Yanli had ever stood up so straight.

I've had enough of Xie Jianshe's acting!

"Alright, ma'am, you can go out now. Someone should come to help you pack your things outside!"

"good!"

When Xie Yanli opened the door, there were several people standing outside; they were Xie Jianshe's friends!

"Big sister!"

Everyone calls Xie Yanli Sister!

Xie Yanli sniffed, realizing she really did have a powerful backer!

Let them take all the things they packed with them!

A person grabbed a large bag, quickly filled it up, and left!

Almost not a single thread was left!

Looking at the empty room, Zhou's father cried with heartache!

Zhou's mother slapped her thigh and cried out in heartache, "Xie Jianshe, why are you going to ruin our family?"

Xie Jianshe slowly stood up: "Auntie, you're wrong. I married my perfectly good sister into your family."

Fearing she would suffer a loss, he brought a generous dowry!

"Our Xie family has shown us the utmost sincerity; how dare you humiliate her like this?"

"You dare to steal her job! You dare to use her money! So you're not afraid to bear the consequences?"

You know what I do, you all know!

So, please return the money you took from my older sister immediately! Otherwise, I won't let this go!

Zhou Tao was shocked: "It's gone! It's all gone! I spent..."

"So what? That's not something I should be thinking about! Otherwise, your whole family would lose their jobs. You can choose for yourselves!"

I'll give you three minutes!

Zhou's mother was furious: "What should we do? I told you not to provoke them, but you insisted... Waaah... What should we do now..."

Zhou Tao: "We really don't have any money! Construction is a real pain. They say it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage! You can't act impulsively!"

What will happen to your older sister if she divorces me?

I know you just got married, can you really let her come home?
