Zhong Chengfa held his son in his arms, and after hearing what Zhong Chengyi said, his face was full of disbelief.
He opened his mouth wide, and after a long while he stammered, "Mom...Mom, did you really say that? She...she is really so heartless? She doesn't even want her own grandson?"
Zhong Chengyi snorted coldly: "What else? Do you think Mom is joking with you?"
"Mom told you to divorce your sister-in-law. Big brother, just listen to my advice and get a divorce quickly!"
"I think Mom is determined this time. She has a very strong opinion of my sister-in-law!"
When Zhong Chengfa heard this, his face fell and he tightened his arms around Zhong Hongqing, his tone filled with dissatisfaction and grievance.
"Isn't it just that Li Hongjuan was greedy a few days ago and couldn't help but drink the bowl of broken fish soup that she made for the second son's wife Zhou Mingli?"
"Why is my mother so angry? Is she really going to hold a grudge against me for such a small matter?"
"She forced me to divorce, and now she doesn't even recognize her own grandson!"
The more Zhong Chengfa spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and his voice rose a few notches.
Zhong Chengyi rolled his eyes: "Then go find your wife! Anyway, looking at Mom's attitude now, you can only choose one between your wife and Mom!"
He patted Zhong Chengfa's shoulder and said, "Brother, you have to figure out which is more important, your wife or your mother!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around to go back, but was grabbed by Zhong Chengfa.
"Third brother, don't go!" Zhong Chengfa's eyes were bloodshot. "You haven't married yet, you don't understand!"
Zhong Chengyi was being pulled by him, his brows furrowed tightly, and he tried to shake him off impatiently.
"Brother, it's already this hour, and you're still telling me this?"
Zhong Chengfa, however, held on to him tightly, his voice pleading: "If I really divorce, I won't even have someone who understands me!"
"Look at my mother's attitude now. She's really hoping that I'll marry into my father-in-law's family!"
"By then, will she still be able to control me marrying another one? I'm afraid I'll be single for the rest of my life!"
Zhong Chengfa became more and more excited as he spoke, and his hands were shaking as he held Zhong Hongqing.
"Isn't this the end for me? I'm all alone, who will take care of me in the future?"
Zhong Chengyi didn't know what to say for a moment after listening to his elder brother's incoherent words.
Looking at Zhong Chengfa's pitiful and cowardly appearance, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"Then what do you want to do?" Zhong Chengyi held it in for a long time before squeezing out these words from between his teeth.
He sighed and shook off Zhong Chengfa's hand: "Anyway, I don't know what to do. Nephew, I'll give it back to you."
After Zhong Chengyi finished speaking, he walked into the yard without looking back. His back showed a bit of determination and annoyance.
The courtyard door creaked shut as he did so, and silence soon returned. Only Zhong Chengfa and his son Zhong Hongqing were left.
Zhong Hongqing was frightened by these series of misfortunes. He hugged Zhong Chengfa's neck tightly and sobbed softly.
He rubbed his flat stomach with his little hands and said timidly, "Dad, I'm hungry..."
Zhong Cheng was so angry that he had no place to vent it. When he heard his son's words, he became even more furious.
He glared at Zhong Hongqing unhappily: "Hungry, hungry, hungry! You only know how to be hungry!"
"Who told you not to call grandma in the kitchen just now? Huh?"
"If you had called grandma obediently, you might be eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks in the house right now!"
Zhong Chengfa lowered his voice, but it was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder: "You deserve it! I'll starve you to death!"
Zhong Hongqing was frightened by his father's yelling and tears started to flow again.
He cried and said aggrievedly, "Mom... Mom and uncle all said... they all said grandma is a bad person... She... she is not my grandma... I don't want to call her grandma..."
The child's voice sounded particularly clear and harsh in the night wind.
After hearing this, Zhong Chengfa was so angry that his temples were throbbing. He really wanted to raise his hand and slap the little bastard twice more!
But when he looked at his son's red face from crying and his eyes full of fear, he raised his hand but did not lower it in the end.
He sighed heavily, hugged Zhong Hongqing, feeling aggrieved and helpless, turned around angrily, and disappeared into the night.
As for Li Hongjuan, her life has not been easy since she was "sent" back to her parents' home by Zhong Chengfa.
When she first returned, she forced a smile on her face and lied to her parents.
"Dad, Mom, I haven't been back to see you for a long time, so I came back to stay for a few days and keep you company."
Her family members were not fools. Seeing her coming back empty-handed, they looked a little unhappy.
You know, every time Li Hongjuan went back to her parents' home, she would always move large and small bags of things from the Zhong family to this side.
Food, clothing, and daily necessities were all brought to her mother's house like ants moving house.
This time, when the person came back, there was no trace of the thing.
As a result, Li Hongjuan's stay was not just "a few days".
Seeing that she stayed at her parents' home and refused to move, her brother Li Dajiang, the head of the family, and her sister-in-law Wang Hongxiang became more and more unhappy.
Wang Hongxiang was particularly gossipy and gave her a cold shoulder in both overt and covert ways.
"Oh, is this aunt planning to take root in our family?"
"You eat and drink for free every day. Do you think the food at my mother's house was blown away by the wind?"
Li Hongjuan felt aggrieved, but didn't dare to say anything.
In order to avoid being looked down upon, she could only work harder at her parents' home.
She rushed to do anything she could, including washing clothes, cooking, feeding pigs and chopping wood, and was even more diligent than when she was at her husband's house.
