Hearing Yao's words, Zhou Dashan's face turned extremely ugly.
He yelled at Zhou Dasheng, "Take this bitch away from me right now, drag her out!"
Just as Yao was about to be taken away by Zhou Dasheng, Zhou Jing'an called out to him, "Wait a minute."
Everyone looked at Zhou Jing'an, who said, "Father, give Mother her back her jewelry, and also give her that bag of loose silver."
Madam Liu was the first to shake her head: "Uncle, these loose silver coins originally belonged to our Zhou family. Since Madam Yao is no longer a member of our Zhou family, the money certainly cannot be given to her anymore."
Zhou Lan had long disliked Liu's behavior and reminded her, "Liu, although Father divorced her, she gave birth to us. Zhou Dasheng still has to call her Mother, and you still have to call her Mother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Liu quickly lowered her head and dared not respond.
Liu Feng, standing to the side, was naturally also unhappy. Many of the jewelry pieces belonging to the Yao family were quite beautiful, and some were quite valuable. They were all gifts from Zhou Jing'an's classmates, and she had never seen the styles before.
Zhou Dashan didn't let Yao Shi take it away, so all these pieces of jewelry would be his from now on.
Liu Feng gently tugged at Zhou Dashan's sleeve and said aggrievedly, "In that case, let's take all these pieces of jewelry back to Sister Yao."
Zhou Dashan was furious at the moment, and having just divorced Yao Shi, he had experienced what it was like to be the head of the family, so naturally he didn't want to listen to Zhou Jing'an.
Although he was speaking to Liu Feng, everyone present knew that Zhou Dashan was referring to Zhou Jing'an: "Give what? You've been married into the Zhou family all these years, eating my food, wearing my clothes, and using my things."
"Now that you're leaving, you still want to take something with you? What do you take the Zhou family for?!"
At this point, Zhou Jing'an was too lazy to put on any pretense with Zhou Dashan, so he looked at him and said, "Give these things to her."
With just this one sentence, Zhou Jing'an's eyes were devoid of any emotion; if you looked closely, you could even see a hint of coldness.
If Yao Shi wasn't a good person, then Zhou Dashan wasn't much better, so Zhou Jing'an didn't have much affection for his parents.
However, Yao was, after all, his birth mother, and even now, he still had to fulfill his duties as a son.
Besides, he never expected the Yao family to cause such a fuss. The original plan with Ning Huan to let Liu Feng into the house was just to distract the Yao family from coming to cause them trouble every day.
If Yao hadn't gone too far back then, making Zhou Jing'an feel that she was a potential threat, he wouldn't have let Zhou Dashan and Liu Feng get together.
Besides, Zhou Dashan only took a concubine. According to Yao's previous practices, since she could send maids and young ladies to Zhou Jing'an, why couldn't she accept her husband taking a concubine?
Zhou Dashan hesitated for a moment, but remembering that Zhou Jing'an had spoken, he still handed the bag of loose silver and jewelry to Yao.
Liu Feng, standing to the side, looked extremely unpleasant.
Looking at the silver and jewelry in her hand, then at Zhou Jing'an, and then at Zhou Lan who had just spoken up for her, Yao felt a mix of emotions.
Zhou Jing'an was the son she disliked the most. He didn't listen to her and was not under her control. She had disliked her third son since he was a child.
She only married into the Zhou family because of the eldest daughter, and she couldn't hold her head up in front of the Zhou family matriarch, so she didn't like the eldest daughter either.
She dotes on her eldest son and sweet-talking second daughter in everything she eats, wears, and uses; over the years, she has given them all her love and affection.
In the end, it was these two children who helped her and spoke up for her.
Yao gave a bitter smile and was about to turn and leave when she fainted. Zhou Dasheng quickly helped Yao up, and Zhou Lan, seeing that Yao had fainted, looked at Zhou Dashan standing to the side.
"Father, Mother has already fainted. Why don't we keep her here today? We can let her go tomorrow when she wakes up."
Liu Feng rolled her eyes and chimed in, "Yes, why don't we let Sister Yao stay? In case she wakes up tomorrow and calms down, she'll realize she made a mistake."
"If Brother Dashan can forgive Sister Yao, then this letter of divorce might be null and void."
Zhou Dashan snorted coldly: "Since I've already divorced this bitch, I won't forgive her anymore. She's fainted, but I still have to send her home."
Hearing Zhou Dashan's words, Zhou Dasheng had no choice but to carry Yao Shi away. Behind him, Zhou Jing'an instructed Zhou Lan, who was going to go with them, "Elder sister, after you take Mother there, tell her that we will go back to see her when we have time."
Zhou Lan nodded: "I understand, I will tell Mother."
She understood what Zhou Jing'an meant; this wasn't meant for Yao Shi at all, but rather for their uncle and aunt.
The Yao family is now managed by Yao's two brothers. Yao's mother is a snob, and if she knew that Yao had been divorced and sent home, she would definitely not treat her well.
Yao's two brothers and their wives would certainly ridicule her, but Zhou Jing'an's words were telling them that even if she was divorced and sent home, she still had several children to rely on.
Not only Zhou Lan understood, but the villagers also knew Zhou Jing'an's intentions.
He couldn't help but admire Zhou Jing'an for being such a filial son. Even though Yao treated him so badly, he still treated her kindly.
Ironically, Zhou Jing'an, whom Yao Shi disliked the least, ended up helping her.
After Yao was sent away, the villagers knew that the matter was over, and the village chief told everyone to disperse and go home.
After everyone had left, Zhou Dashan called Zhou Jing'an back to the house to discuss something. Zhou Jing'an raised an eyebrow, as if he already knew.
While observing Zhou Jing'an's expression, Zhou Dashan said, "There's no woman in charge of the household right now, so how about we let..."
He looked at Liu Feng behind him, and was about to say that he would hand over the housekeeping to Liu Feng when he saw Zhou Jing'an's cold eyes staring at him without moving.
Zhou Dashan felt a chill run down his spine. It was just a change of housekeeper, why was she staring at him like that?
He glanced at Ning Huan behind Zhou Jing'an and said, "Let the third son's wife manage the household? She can also manage all the money in the house?"
Ning Huan was stunned for a moment, then cursed inwardly, "What a mess, you made me clean it up."
She smiled and declined, saying, "Dad, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Zhou Dashan clicked his tongue: "What's wrong with that? I've heard recently that you've been managing the household very well, Third Brother's wife. Isn't this your home too? Just take care of it as well."
He had long heard of his daughter-in-law's abilities, so he decided to let her manage the household this time. If she couldn't manage it, he, as her father-in-law, could scold her.
