No matter how much Chen Zhaodi cried, her beloved graduate student son-in-law was gone.
When Li Fei came to her door again under some pretext, Chang Huaying simply ignored him and left.
Li Fei's face darkened, and his tone instantly turned sour: "Sister Chen, is Hua Ying trying to climb the social ladder?"
"Um... I, you..."
Chen Zhaodi was speechless, unsure of what to say in this situation. She had been quite fond of Li Fei, her graduate student son-in-law, but unfortunately, that tyrant Zhou Hongyu had ruined everything.
Her daughter listened to the tyrant's slander!
Li Fei angrily flung his hand away, his tone vicious: "Sister Chen, no wonder your daughter can't get married and your son can't find a wife. So this is the kind of family you have!"
If Zhou Hongyu were there and heard Li Fei say such disgusting things, she would have slapped him across the face.
However, the person present was a paper tiger, Chen Zhaodi. Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaodi was furious.
"How can you talk nonsense like that? My Yaozu and Huaying have plenty of suitors..."
Chen Zhaodi was struck on the heart and lungs, and was eager to prove herself.
Li Fei resisted the urge to hit someone and turned to leave, but was stopped by Chang Hongbing who suddenly appeared behind him.
Chang Hongbing, a kind-hearted man, had a terrifyingly dark expression on his face.
Chen Zhaodi was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Chang Hongbing roared, "You little brat, you're asking for it!"
Li Fei quickly dodged the incoming fist and retreated to the side, still swearing.
"Come on then, if you dare, kill me! Your wife has lost her secure job and is now working for a private boss! Your son and daughter are still unmarried! If you kill me, you'll be executed immediately. Let's see if you still have any family left!"
Li Fei was terrified of being punched by Chang Hongbing. Chang Hongbing had done a lot of heavy physical labor, and his punches were heavier than iron sandbags. One punch from him would keep Li Fei in bed for at least half a month.
This is just one punch!
It must be said that although Li Fei is eccentric, he is indeed a graduate student with the intelligence to accurately target the sore spots of Chang Hongbing and his wife in a critical moment.
Terrified, Chen Zhaodi recalled the tragedy in Li Fei's words and, without further hesitation, rushed over and grabbed Chang Hongbing's arms.
"Honey, if you can't take it, hit me! Hitting someone else gets you shot!"
With Chang Hongbing held back by Chen Zhaodi, Li Fei seized the opportunity to run away without looking back.
One oddball after another lives in Shuangdong Hutong. He almost lost his life today, and he'll definitely find a place to move out starting tomorrow!
Watching Li Fei run away, Chen Zhaodi breathed a long sigh of relief, then released her grip on Chang Hongbing's arm.
"Thank goodness you're alright..."
"You call this nothing!"
Chang Hongbing's face was still frighteningly dark as he held up a letter in his hand.
The address on the envelope flashed by, and Chen Zhaodi accurately caught her son Chang Yaozu's name.
Chen Zhaodi couldn't hide her joy: "Nothing is more important than our son's letter! Don't give us that grumpy look! It's rare for our son to write to us, why don't you smile!"
Yaozu used to be very obedient. As the eldest brother in the family, he took care of his younger siblings and was filial to his elders. He was a good child praised by everyone in the alley.
Back then, he hadn't gone completely mad or become obsessed with the college entrance exam. Old Mrs. Liu from the neighboring compound really liked her son and even promised to find a suitable girl from her own family to introduce to him as her daughter-in-law.
And that was it...
Although Chen Zhaodi thought her son was wonderful in every way, she still couldn't stand Chang Yaozu's behavior over the past few years, especially recently!
Chen Zhaodi happily reached out to take it.
Chang Hongbing dodged the question and pressed, "Have you been sending money to Yaozu every month without fail?"
Yes, there are.
Chen Zhaodi immediately wilted and avoided eye contact.
Chang Hongbing used to manage the money. But when he was promoted to a junior leader, he became exceptionally dedicated and wanted to be online 24/7. So the money management fell to Chen Zhaodi, including sending money to Chang Yaozu every month.
Because of this incident, Chen Zhaodi developed resentment towards her beloved son.
Chang Yaozu spends money way too much; his expenses are like supporting an entire family!
Chen Zhaodi couldn't help but complain to Chang Hongbing about her money-loving nature, and was immediately scolded.
He also told her to just listen to her son and give him whatever he wanted. Chang Yaozu must have his reasons for doing this, and she shouldn't interfere in her son's affairs!
Despite being scolded, Chen Zhaodi remained true to her nature; she secretly, secretly reduced the price by more than half...
She wasn't afraid at all, and at the time she was only thinking about saving money and didn't think about the consequences at all.
She knew her son; Chang Yaozu wasn't the type to tattle.
But this time, every word of the letter Chang Yaozu sent back was a tattletale!
The letter lamented her predicament of being far from home due to lack of money, and the bitterness of being isolated and helpless.
Chen Zhaodi found it increasingly strange. Although the handwriting on the envelope was genuine, the tone of the writer was odd and did not seem like something her son could write.
As Chen Zhaodi clutched the letter, trying to find more flaws, a large hand came up from above and pulled it away.
Seeing Chang Hongbing's terrifying face, Chen Zhaodi finally understood what fear truly meant!
"Chen Zhaodi, how dare you! Divorce me!"
Chen Zhaodi shuddered. Chang Hongbing actually wanted a divorce. Who could she turn to for help?

Today happens to be Zhou Bing's wedding day, and the event is very lavish, with guests being entertained directly at the hotel.
Everyone in the store was there, except for Chen Zhaodi!
With the auspicious time approaching and the bride and groom in their places, Zhou Hongyu finally couldn't sit still any longer and sent Chang Meiying to the side to ask Chang Huaying about the situation.
Chang Huaying was stunned when she heard the news, and she came to find him immediately.
"Second Aunt, hasn't my mom arrived yet? She was already getting ready to leave when I went out!"
That's impossible!
Chang Huaying immediately worried that Chen Zhaodi might have had an accident on her way here, so she voiced her suspicions.
Zhou Hongyu waved her hand and chuckled: "Your mother is definitely not going to have any accidents. If something had happened, she would have made a huge scene long ago. How could she be so quiet like this!"
Chen Lijuan, like a troublemaker, said: "I think Aunt Zhaodi can't stand seeing Zhou Bing get married before her cousin Yaozu, so she's hiding and refusing to come!"
Wu Xiufang and the other two couldn't help but nod in agreement; that's just how Sister Chen is!
Chang Huaying also thought this was true; her mother did indeed have this tendency.
She started to feel a headache coming on. If her mother really did that, the Zhou family would inevitably have objections. They were relatives and colleagues who worked together, yet they were showing their displeasure on such a joyous occasion just because they were jealous that someone else was getting married early.
"Should I go out and look for someone..."
Zhou Hongyu raised her hand to stop her, and gently shook her head: "Your mother isn't that kind of person!"
Pointing to the table full of fine wine and food, she said, "She can just let such a good deal slip by!"
In an instant, everyone nodded in unison.
The day before, Chen Zhaodi was still talking about giving a mediocre red envelope so that she could have a big feast at the wedding banquet.
So, what exactly happened to Chen Zhaodi?
