Chapter 25 Shut your stinking mouth

"That's such a long round trip, are you kidding me?"

“We’ll run back, and if she doesn’t come back, we’ll come back again?” Tian Fang said, looking at her son, daughter, and daughter-in-law with an expression that said, “You’re all idiots.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Hongchao exclaimed, "Mom, you always have such good ideas!"

Tian Fang said proudly, "All these years of salt consumption haven't been for nothing."

Xie Hongchao found a public phone booth, dialed the number of his hometown brigade, and sent someone to Zhanghoutun Village to check on the situation.

They waited in the phone booth for an hour before calling back, only to be told that Xie Zhizhi hadn't gone home at all.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Hongchao cursed, "That bitch didn't go back."

"It must be with her man!"

"You slut, your legs are tied to a man's! Ugh!"

"His heart has become wild!"

"I'll see if I don't scratch her face when I get there, I'll make her a slut."

As Tian Fang cursed, her stomach rumbled, signaling the start of her "empty city plan."

As her stomach rumbled, Xie Lanlan's stomach also started to rumble.

They didn't eat anything on the train.

After getting off the bus, Xie Hongchao and his wife were only waiting for Tian Fang to help them get their house back, so they didn't care whether the two of them had eaten or drunk anything. They took the people on the bus and, after transferring, arrived at the compound.

After making a fuss for half a day, I went to school and waited in a public phone booth for an hour. By now, it's past lunchtime, let alone breakfast.

So the mother and daughter were really starving.

Not only were the two of them hungry, but Xie Hongchao and Wei Guihua were also hungry.

Before Xie Hongchao could speak, Tian Fang asked, "Where is her husband's unit?"

"Let's go to the military base first, then we'll eat."

As soon as she said that, everyone understood that Xie Zhizhi had to pay for the meal.

Xie Lanlan was the happiest.

If Xie Zhizhi hadn't paid for the meal, then it would have been her daughter who had to pay.

So Xie Lanlan patted her rumbling stomach and said, "I think it's fine, anyway I'm not hungry."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was another "coo coo~"

Wei Guihua rolled her eyes as she stood to the side.

To be honest, this older sister-in-law is no match for Xie Zhizhi's younger sister-in-law.

Xie Zhizhi gave them the house and the money...

Thinking of this, Wei Guihua suddenly realized a key point: "Big sister, didn't you ask your younger sister to find a husband to arrange a job for your son in the county government?"

Wei Guihua was clearly angry when she said these words.

How could I not be angry?

Anyone would be angry in that situation.

They were living in a house in the city, earning a little over a hundred yuan a month. The younger sister-in-law was even bringing them eggs and hens back to the city. But because the older sister-in-law wanted to make a quick buck, well, now look what happened, the chickens have flown away and the eggs have been lost.

Upon hearing Wei Guihua's words, Xie Hongchao also remembered the matter and looked at Xie Lanlan.

Because the Xie family had taken advantage of Xie Zhizhi, they didn't treat her like a human being. Consequently, because of the benefits they received from Xie Zhizhi, they also didn't treat their daughter-in-law Wei Guihua like a human being.

Xie Lanlan, Wei Guihua's sister-in-law, was like a second mother-in-law to Wei Guihua, so when she heard Wei Guihua's words, Xie Lanlan's first reaction was to roll her eyes and say, "I'm not saying this, but you're meddling way too much, aren't you?"

“This house and all the money have been given to your family. Hongchao is the son, and I am a married woman. I don’t dare to fight for these things.”

"But what's it to you if I ask Xie Zhizhi to arrange a job for my Xiao Liang?"

"We can't just not accept the money and the house, but we have to leave the job to your nephew, can we?" Xie Lanlan's words were incredibly sarcastic.

She earns over a hundred yuan a month, but she's never even seen ten yuan a month.

This woman has already gotten away with everything, and she still dares to talk back to me.

Xie Lanlan thought to herself, wishing she could pluck two locks of Wei Guihua's hair.

In the past, their family always stood together against outsiders in cases like this.

But after she finished speaking today, her brother Xie Hongchao immediately became impatient with her, saying, "Arrange a job, arrange a job, is your Xiaoliang even cut out for it?"

Xie Lanlan was displeased upon hearing this. "Xie Hongchao, what do you mean by that?"

Xie Hongchao became even angrier. "What do you mean? What do you mean? I'm just telling you that your son isn't destined to be an official."

"you……"

Xie Lanlan burst into tears, "Fine, fine, I've gone through all that trouble to keep Mom company, all for your sake, and this is how you treat me?"

Xie Hongchao wasn't buying it at all. "What do you mean by 'coming here for my sake'?"

"This whole thing started because of you."

Wei Guihua chimed in, "That's right. If you hadn't insisted that your brother-in-law arrange a job for your son, Xiao Liang, he wouldn't have divorced your sister."

"So my little sister can't come and kick us out."

Tian Fang and Xie Lanlan were both stunned when they heard this.

Xie Lanlan, in particular, felt a surge of joy in her heart. Was Xie Zhizhi going to get a divorce?

Her man doesn't want her anymore?

Yeah, who would want someone who's always siding with outsiders?

That means... you won't be able to get any advantages anymore.

However, she didn't have much to begin with, so...

If Xie Zhizhi gets divorced, only blind and lame men will want her. Let's see how she can still act like an official's wife then.

snort!

At this moment, Xie Lanlan felt at ease.

Although Xie Zhizhi's life was already very hard, Xie Lanlan knew in her heart that as long as Xie Zhizhi was willing to live well with Zhou Lin, the rest of Xie Zhizhi's life would be good.

Only divorce.

After the divorce, Xie Zhizhi no longer had such a strong support system.

That was when she truly suffered.

Tian Fang didn't want Xie Zhizhi to have a good life either. After all, she wasn't her own daughter, so how could she let her outlive her own?

So she will keep Xie Zhizhi in check, but make Xie Zhizhi get a divorce...

That won't do!

Xie Zhizhi is divorced. Where can she find another scoundrel like Zhou's son?

They own a house in the city and receive such a high monthly allowance.

This money may not last a lifetime, but if it's given for ten or eight years, it can accumulate into a large sum!

I also helped raise his grandson!

And by then, the houses in the city will definitely belong to the Xie family.

In short, you absolutely cannot get a divorce now.

Thinking about it, Tian Fang asked her son and daughter-in-law, "That's what she said?"

Wei Guihua immediately nodded, "I shouted it right here at the door that day, and a lot of people heard it."

"She said her brother-in-law couldn't make the arrangements, so she had no choice but to divorce her."

"That's why she kicked us out."

Upon hearing this, Tian Fang said, "If that's the case, then it's easy. Go find her and tell her that you don't need to find a job for Xiao Liang."

Xie Lanlan's face fell when she heard this.

Tian Fang said to her, "You should be more sensible!"

"We can't let her divorce you over something like this."

"What will happen to your brother and your nephew then?"

Xie Lanlan was not very happy.

Tian Fang said, "Alright, when we get back, I'll catch two chickens for you from home."

Wei Guihua was unhappy. Her husband's family's things all belonged to them, so there was no reason for them to give them to their daughter.

"To be honest, Mom loves her daughters the most. She gave all the food that Xiao Xie didn't get to eat to her eldest sister."

Tian Fang immediately glared at her and said, "Alright, shut your stinking mouth. I haven't seen your mother give you anything."
