Chapter 27 This damn tacit understanding
"There's no need to talk about marriage. I've made up my mind to marry him. I came here today to talk about Chen Fu being taken to the police station."
This sentence contains two huge messages.
The amount of information was so overwhelming that the Hao siblings' brains were about to explode. For a moment, they didn't know which sentence to respond to first.
"Let's talk inside." After a moment, Hao Wang spoke, still looking at Yu Yaoyang with an unfriendly look.
He still doesn't like Yu Yaoyang.
His preconceived notions made him classify Yu Yaoyang as someone who was not doing his job properly, but since his niece had spoken, he, as an uncle, could not say anything more.
A group of people entered the house and Rutang sat next to her mother. Hao Mei looked at her daughter carefully and wiped her eyes silently.
"Mom, come with us into the city tomorrow and have your leg checked out first." Rutang looked at her mother and couldn't hold back her tears. She held her mother's hand. She had waited for this moment all her life.
In her previous life, after she escaped from her marriage, no one knew what that bastard Chen Fu did to her mother. He forced her mother to hang herself. After Rutang came back, she was buried.
In countless dreams, she regretted leaving. If she had been at home, how could her mother have hanged herself?
Now she is back, and with her around, no one can touch her mother anymore.
"No need. I've seen someone take a look at my leg. It's nothing serious." Hao Mei said stiffly. Ru Tang knew that she was reluctant to spend money.
"Let's go and have a look."
"Let's go and have a look."
Yu Yaoyang and Hao Wang actually spoke at the same time.
The two men looked at each other, Yu Yaoyang smiled at Hao Wang, and Hao Wang turned his head away with dignity, but his ears were perked up, waiting to hear Yu Yaoyang's next words.
"You are here, and your uncle will take good care of you. But Rutang is worried. She hasn't been eating or sleeping well these days. She is only thinking about you. Go to the hospital and check. It would be better if you are okay, so that Rutang won't worry."
Yu Yaoyang's words were very good. Hao Wang turned his head and looked at him in confusion.
This kid doesn't seem to be as bad as the legend says?
"Rutang, are you doing business?!" Hao Mei looked at her daughter in surprise. This girl has always been timid, so how come she is doing business all of a sudden?
Rutang noticed the look in her uncle's eyes and knew that the opportunity to win his uncle's favor had come, so she immediately took out the certificate from her pocket.
"Brother Yaoyang and I set up a small stall and caught a human trafficker. Mom, uncle, you don't know that Jingquan actually colluded with the human trafficker to abduct and sell me. Thanks to Brother Yaoyang..."
Rutang told him what had happened in the past few days.
She concealed the fact that she was reborn and said that she accidentally overheard Jing Quan chatting with someone, and then told him how Yu Yaoyang saved her, how the two of them hit it off and did business together, and how they outsmarted the human traffickers. She told him everything in detail.
Of course, she recounted in great detail the incident in which Chen Fu used the betrothal gifts to gather people and gamble for money, and was taken to the police station for education.
After hearing this, Hao Mei and her brother's expressions were simply brilliant.
So many things happened at home in just two days!
For a moment, the brother and sister didn't know whether they should be glad that their daughter was not captured, or be happy that no one caused trouble after Chen Fu went in, or be impressed that Yu Yaoyang was actually different from the rumors?
"Mom, we've made a little money these past two days. Come back with us and take a good look at your legs. When Brother Yaoyang and I get married, the old man will be released. Then you two can get a divorce, right?"
After Rutang finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet.
Even Yu Yaoyang was stunned.
He didn't expect that Rutang would actually say something like asking her own mother to divorce her. She dared to say this in front of Yu Yaoyang. She really didn't treat him as an outsider.
"Divorce?!" Hao Mei was shocked by her daughter's words.
An old voice came from the next room: "No!"
Hao's mother, who was lying next door, had been listening to the noise here. She was in poor health and was bedridden, but she was always thinking about her daughter's family affairs. When she heard her granddaughter say that she wanted Hao Mei to divorce, Hao's mother couldn't help but speak up to stop her.
"I think Rutang is right!" Hao Wang got up and went to the next room. After a while, he came over with Hao's mother.
Mother Hao was so thin that she was just a bag of bones. She looked a little scary. She was thin and dry. She lay on the kang, glaring at Rutang.
"What are you talking about, girl? How can a biological daughter ask her parents to divorce? Our Hao family cannot have a daughter who is divorced. If we tell others about it, we will be so embarrassed!"
The old lady still had bound feet, but Rutang felt that her grandmother had bound not only her feet, but perhaps her cerebellum as well.
"What do you mean by being divorced? This is because my mother doesn't want him. Once he's a gambler, he'll have bad luck for the rest of his life! He hasn't taken care of the family for so many years. He goes out to gamble whenever he has some money. My mother was beaten badly by him. Even my education is thanks to my uncle. For a man like this, why don't I divorce him and wait for him to beat my mother to death?"
"You're absolutely right!" Hao Wang looked at his niece with approval. Why didn't he realize that this child was so sensible before?
Hao Wang had advised his sister about these things a long time ago, but he was only a younger brother after all, and his words did not carry as much weight as Rutang's.
"In a few years he will be old, and he won't be able to fight anymore. Young couples grow old together, and your mother has someone to take care of him. But she gave birth to a money-loser like you, and she doesn't have a son to support her in her old age. If you really get divorced, will you let your mother come back to burden your uncle?"
Mother Hao took a deep breath every few words, and it was obvious that she would not live long. The old thoughts in her mind, like her dying body, gave off a rotten smell.
"That's not right."
"That's not right."
Yu Yaoyang and Hao Wang spoke again at the same time. Rutang raised an eyebrow. She didn't realize that he and his uncle were in sync with each other.
"Grandma, I won't interrupt you when you talk about your own daughter, but I don't like to listen to you talking about my future daughter-in-law. What do you mean by a money-loser? Even if all the grandchildren of the old Chen family are added together, can they be half as capable as Rutang? Besides, I don't have a son, but after Rutang married me, she is still my mother. A son-in-law is half a son, so rounding it off, I am her son, and I will take care of her in her old age."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hao's mother remained silent. It was not because she was moved by Yu Yaoyang's words, but because the old lady felt that the aura of the young man in front of her was too scary. The old lady was afraid of the strong and bullied the weak, so she didn't dare to speak. She coughed a few times, groaned in discomfort, closed her eyes, and began to pretend to be dead.
"Are you serious about what you said?" Hao Wang looked at Yu Yaoyang, his eyes full of scrutiny and admiration that could not be concealed.
"A man's words are as solid as his words. I mean what I say." Yu Yaoyang rarely looked serious.
Rutang looked at Hao Mei. The atmosphere had reached this point, and they were just waiting for her to express her opinion.
"I, I..." Hao Mei looked at the old lady lying on the kang and groaning, and fell into hesitation.
It would be a lie to say that she didn't want a divorce. She had been beaten for so many years that she no longer had any feelings for him. But when she was forced to take this step under pressure, she felt inexplicably fearful.
Seeing her mother's indecisive look, Rutang became so anxious and angry that she used her ultimate move.
