Fang Yan quickly realized that what Zhang Jizhou wanted to discuss with her must be something related to the Zhang family.
She put down the mango she was cutting and looked at him. "Go ahead."
"Wait a minute, let's leave the child with Aunt De for now, and you'll come with me over there?"
As soon as Zhang Jizhou finished speaking, Fang Yan refused without even thinking, "I'm not going."
"I don't want to set foot in that place again, and I don't want to see those faces again."
Seeing them made her violent side kick in, and she couldn't help but want to beat them all into a pulp.
"I've already refrained from taking action against them out of respect for you. If they continue to force me, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my temper."
Of course, the biggest reason for not beating up the Zhang family was that there wasn't a perfect opportunity.
If there had been an opportunity beforehand, for example, if Huang Hongmei and the others had attacked her first, and she had taken the chance to retaliate and then secretly strike back, that would have been the perfect opportunity.
After all, in terms of status, she is the junior.
If she were to strike first and angrily attack Zhang Laowu and Huang Hongmei, even if she was clearly in the right, she would probably be seen as being in the wrong.
In order to avoid being unreasonable, Fang Yan has been suppressing her temper.
Although that's the truth, there's always a bit of "art" in how you speak.
Giving this favor to Zhang Jizhou is a win-win situation; it will make Zhang Jizhou remember the favor. Why not?
“Divorce…” Zhang Jizhou tried to persuade her, “It’s not possible to get a divorce for the time being.”
"Why?" Fang Yan blurted out in response.
Zhang Jizhou looked at her and said, "I haven't even tried. How do you know I don't meet your requirements?"
Fang Yan, who had originally intended to counter each move and refute it with reason, was suddenly speechless.
The problem is that there's absolutely no way to refute what they said.
She realized that Zhang Jizhou, when he got smart, was actually quite difficult to deal with.
"And then?" Since this topic was irrefutable, Fang Yan steered the conversation back to the earlier, interrupted topic.
Seeing that she didn't refute his words, and thinking that she was tacitly approving and giving him a chance to try, Zhang Jizhou's slightly furrowed brows relaxed a little, and he continued her words, "We won't get a divorce for now, so you will be the Zhang family's daughter-in-law, and you will have to continue living here for the time being. They can take advantage of their status to cause you trouble."
Fang Yan thought to herself, if they dare to cause her trouble again, she won't be one to back down!
However, on second thought, the Zhang family outnumbered him several times over, and he couldn't fight them off with just his two hands.
Moreover, just thinking about Zhang Laowu's terrifyingly sinister eyes gave Fang Yan a premonition that the old man had not yet shown his most vicious side.
Judging from his snake-like eyes, Zhang Laowu's malice was far more terrifying than that of a viper.
Thinking of this, she swallowed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue and asked again, "Then what good ideas do you have?"
“They are good at putting on an act. I’m worried that if I go alone, they might agree to things in front of me, but then they’ll cause trouble for me again once I get back to my unit.”
It might even be possible to sow discord between them.
Zhang Jizhou did not say the last sentence.
“Let’s go together. We can talk things out face to face, so they won’t gossip about us later,” Zhang Jizhou said finally.
Fang Yan thought about it and felt that this was not a bad idea.
Given the greedy nature of Zhang Laowu and Huang Hongmei, they would never let the matter of dividing the family property go so easily.
This time, taking advantage of Zhang Jizhou's presence, everyone dealt with the matter face-to-face.
They should stop bothering her in the future, otherwise she won't be able to control her temper every time.
Fang Yan gladly accepted Zhang Jizhou's suggestion, but Xiao Yuzai refused to cooperate.
This trip to the Zhang family will definitely lead to an argument, and they might even end up fighting.
It was late at night, and in such a setting, that Fang Yan was worried the child would be frightened again, so she thought of sending Xiaoyuzi to Aunt De's place.
No matter how much they tried to coax him, the little guy wouldn't listen.
"Mommy, I want to stay with Mommy." Little Fishy clutched her clothes tightly with his little hands, as if afraid of being abandoned, and said with a pitiful expression.
"But Daddy and Mommy have things to do and can't take you with us. Why don't you sleep at Grandma De's house for a while? We'll take you home when we're done, okay?"
Fang Yan patiently coaxed him.
Little Fish still refused, this time clinging to Fang Yan like a little octopus, saying, "No, I don't want to go to Grandma De's house, I want to stay with Mommy."
Zhang Jizhou's brows were deeply furrowed. The words of reprimand rolled around his lips several times, but in the end, he held back because Fang Yan's words, which she had just said, kept echoing in his mind: one must be patient with children.
"Little fish, you have to be good, okay?"
Although his tone softened a bit, his attitude remained very stiff.
The combination of tone and attitude was so awkward that Fang Yan could hardly bear to listen anymore.
"I won't listen to you, I won't listen to you."
Don't think he didn't hear it just now; it was Dad who asked Mom to take him to Grandma De's house.
When Little Fish got angry, he stopped calling him "Dad".
This little brat has gone too far!
Zhang Jizhou's face suddenly darkened, and he reached out and pulled Xiaoyuzai off Fang Yan. "Zhang Haoxuan! Don't cry!"
