Chapter 90 Everything is under control
As much pleasure as Chen Fu had enjoyed when he beat Rutang and her mother, he was just as scared at this moment.
After the roles were reversed, he was as humble as an ant in front of the more powerful Yu Yaoyang.
"Rutang, please save your father. I am your father!" Chen Fu didn't dare to talk to Yu Yaoyang anymore. He looked at Rutang pleadingly. When he saw him, Chen Fu's heart skipped a beat.
Rutang seemed to have turned into a distant god, looking down at him with an expressionless face, neither sad nor happy.
The sunlight shone through the window lattice, spreading unevenly on her body, giving Rutang a layer of golden light.
Chen Fu was vaguely aware in the pain that his daughter was no longer from the same world as him.
In Chen Fu’s distant memory, Rutang was also like a small glutinous rice ball, smiling at him and stretching out her hands, asking him to hug her.
But since when did the relationship between father and daughter become what it is now? Maybe it was the first time he hit her, or maybe it was after he hit her a few times -
Chen Fu was in a trance and for a moment he felt regretful.
He didn't regret beating his wife and children, he just regretted that he shouldn't have married Rutang to Yu Yaoyang just because of the high dowry he gave.
There are other families in the village who are willing to pay 200 or 300 yuan to marry Rutang. If he chooses a weak man to marry Rutang, then no one will support Rutang.
There were so many men who wanted to marry Rutang, but why did he pick the one who was the best fighter and the most unruly? Now he was like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of Rutang, the unfilial daughter.
Chen Fu's expression changes constantly, and his thoughts are written all over his face. Ru Tang can feel what he is thinking without him saying it out loud.
Yu Yaoyang also noticed it and was about to stab the old man twice more when a thin white hand appeared on his shoulder.
"Brother Yaoyang, that's enough." Rutang signaled Yu Yaoyang to step back. He had done enough for her, and she would handle the rest.
"You want my dowry, right? Sure." Ru Tang said coldly.
Chen Fu was overjoyed. Regardless of the bleeding wounds on his body, he stood up and stretched out his hand to take the money.
"But I have one condition. You come with us to the city and complete the divorce procedures with my mother."
"What? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Chen Fu's face changed drastically, and he was furious. He was angry for a second, but then he saw Yu Yaoyang fiddling with the mirror fragments out of the corner of his eye, and his anger instantly became a dud.
"There is no such thing as divorce in our Chen family. If this gets out, won't we be laughed at by our fellow villagers? Your mother is old. How will she live after the divorce?" Chen Fu heard from his brothers that their daughter wanted him to divorce.
But he didn't take it to heart at all.
In Chen Fu's opinion, a man is still a flower even at the age of 60, but a woman after 30 is like tofu dregs, and a divorced woman is like a stray dog. Hao Mei, who is too cowardly, dares not divorce him at all.
Moreover, Chen Fu was used to having his wife take care of him. Hao Mei was good at doing housework and was diligent and efficient. When he went out to fool around, Hao Mei worked hard in the production team to earn work points like a man. During the busy farming season, when he went out to gamble, Hao Mei would go back to her parents' home to ask her brothers to help.
Chen Fu doesn't want to let go of this hardworking and obedient woman.
He also knew that Hao Mei and Ru Tang had a good relationship, and Ru Tang cared about her mother very much. As long as Hao Mei was in his hands, Ru Tang would have to contribute to the family.
"None of your business is to worry about my mother's affairs. I am informing you now that this marriage must be divorced. I am not asking for your opinion. Your thoughts are not important to us, mother and daughter." Ru Tang put pressure on Chen Fu in a negotiating tone.
"You didn't pay the clinic for your hospitalization, so they will come to your door sooner or later. Do you want the villagers to laugh at you? Also, if we tell the police that you slandered Brother Yaoyang as a rapist, you will not have a good ending. If you divorce my mother now, I will give you money, you can pay off your debts and gamble, and I will not report you to the police station."
When Rutang was talking about other things, Chen Fu didn't care much, but when he heard the word "gambling", his heart began to itch.
I've been busy avoiding debt these days and have no money left in my pocket. It's really painful that I can't play cards.
His expression, in Rutang's eyes, only deepened the irony.
Her mother's decades of dedication to this family could not outweigh the attraction of gambling. Rutang really wanted her mother to see Chen Fu's face at this moment. Sympathizing with a scumbag is the beginning of misfortune. Even if this old scumbag becomes so destitute that he has to beg for food in the future, he deserves it.
"Think it through carefully. If you divorce, you can have everything. If you don't divorce, you will have to go to jail. You will be imprisoned for spreading obscene rumors, so you will be sentenced to at least a year, right?" Rutang deliberately talked nonsense so that the old legal illiterate would not understand.
When he heard that he would be imprisoned for a year, Chen Fu's face gradually became ugly.
Last time he was lectured for a few days because of gambling, and those days were worse than death for him.
"Then give me the money first, and I'll find an auspicious day in a few days to get a divorce." Chen Fu said cunningly.
He wanted to delay time.
He should get the money first. After that, he can drag on the divorce. At worst, he can kneel down to Hao Mei and beg her. Hao Mei is so soft-hearted that she will definitely forgive him.
Chen Fu once broke Hao Mei's arm. When Hao Mei returned to her parents' home, he burst into tears and knelt down in front of Hao Mei, promising never to beat her again. Then Hao Mei came back.
When people come back by tricking others, they should be beaten and scolded. It won't delay anything.
Chen Fu had tasted the sweetness and wanted to repeat the same trick.
"Only for today. After today, I won't give you a penny." Rutang is not the soft-hearted Hao Mei. He made it clear that he would not give Chen Fu any chance.
"With five hundred dollars, how many games can you play? If you're lucky, maybe you can win a few thousand dollars, and then you can maybe marry a virgin." Yu Yaoyang fanned the flames.
For gamblers, once the gambling addiction comes, any moral ethics can be thrown out of the window, and Chen Fu's mind immediately becomes active.
Yu Yaoyang added fuel to the fire, "Wife, why don't you just forget it? Mom is so soft-hearted. Even if she divorces him, if he kneels down to apologize to her in the future, she might forgive him. Then our money will be wasted."
Chen Fu's eyes lit up, and he felt his train of thought suddenly opened up.
Yes, just get a divorce. Hao Mei is so soft-hearted. Even if we get divorced, kneel down in front of her and cry for a while, and she will come back.
"Come on, I'll go into the city with you now, and the money..." Chen Fu licked the corner of his mouth and started calculating the time in his mind.
It's noon now. I have to hurry into the city, get the divorce done and come back so I can have fun all night.
"I'll give it to you after we get divorced." Rutang was also calculating the time in her mind, hurrying up to divorce this crappy marriage. If there was still time, she could also take Xiaoyue to D Port to set up a stall and sell money.
Why not lead Yu Yaoyang?
Because Yu Yaoyang has been entrusted with an important task by Rutang tonight.
The young couple exchanged glances, everything was under control.
