Yao is really foolish. How could she still act like she used to, making a scene and causing trouble?
Liu Feng is no pushover; she's eyeing Yao's position with a predatory eye. If she can't appease Zhou Dashan and go along with him, she's practically handing over her position as the principal wife.
Zhou Jing'an frowned. With things in such a state at home, he definitely had to go back. He looked at Ning Huan and asked, "I have to go back. Do you want to come with me?"
Ning Huan nodded repeatedly, looking at Zhou Jing'an with starry eyes. Even though it was a commotion that had nothing to do with her, she had to go and see, especially since it involved Yao Shi, who had always disliked her.
Hearing the noise, the four little ones came out and asked, "Daddy, Mommy, are you going out?"
"Father, Mother, where are you going?"
Seeing the four little ones, Ning Huan thought about having to stay home to take care of them, and said to Zhou Jing'an, "I'd better not go. I'm worried about leaving the four little ones at home."
Unexpectedly, the four little ones, upon hearing Ning Huan's words, quickly said, "It's okay, Mommy. We can go to Great-Grandma's house. Great-Grandma said she missed us last time, so we can go see her."
Ning Huan thought about it and agreed, so she instructed, "Be careful on the road. It's dark and the road is slippery, so don't fall. Be good at Great-Grandma's house and don't make her angry, okay?"
The four little ones nodded: "Don't worry, Mommy, we know."
Ning Huan originally wanted to lift Zhou Jing'an into the wheelchair, but he shook his head and said, "I can do it myself."
He felt embarrassed to be hugged like that by Ning Huan in front of Zhou Yan, but Ning Huan was worried that he might hurt his leg.
Turning to Zhou Yan, she said, "Go home and see how he is. It's getting cold. I'll get my husband a warmer coat and then take him over."
Zhou Yan was initially a little unhappy. What time was it? Why was she changing her clothes? But she couldn't say anything. She could only roll her eyes inwardly.
Then he said, "Third brother, you must come quickly. What if Father is really angry and wants to divorce Mother? What will we do then?"
No sooner had Zhou Yan left than Ning Huan carried Zhou Jing'an to his wheelchair. Zhou Jing'an's expression was still somewhat strange: "I told you I can do it myself, you don't need to carry me."
Ning Huan only said, "I'm just worried that you might accidentally touch your wound. Once your leg has healed, even a light touch won't hurt, and you'll be able to move on your own."
When the two arrived at the Zhou family's house, they could still hear noises inside. When they went in, they saw the village chief and some other villagers there.
In fact, the village chief and several elders were somewhat at a loss. Logically speaking, these matters were not their responsibility, but the commotion had become too great, so they had no choice but to come over.
Yao was still muttering curses under her breath, while Zhou Dashan, clutching his head, shouted, "I'm going to divorce this shrew today!"
"I can't live with her anymore. I'm divorcing her and telling her to get out of the Zhou family!"
This was the first time Yao had seen Zhou Dashan so hysterical, and she was immediately frightened. She had really gone too far today, but then she thought about how Zhou Dashan had always given in to his temper during arguments over the years.
Asking her to suddenly submit to Zhou Dashan was simply impossible in a short time. Moreover, if she was convinced that Zhou Dashan would never truly divorce her, Yao Shi became even more provocative: "Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Zhou Dashan, if you don't divorce me today, you're not a real man!"
Zhou Dashan pointed at Yao and shouted, "I will definitely divorce you. I will write a letter of divorce right now."
Upon hearing this, Yao became furious and lunged at Zhou Dashan, reaching out to scratch his face.
Because the scar from Yao's scratch was still there, Zhou Dashan instantly became furious, violently pulled Yao's hand away, and kicked her to the ground.
Probably not expecting Zhou Dashan to attack her, Yao sat on the ground, mouth agape, stunned for a long while. Then she screamed and began to curse, "Zhou Dashan, you coward! All you do is fight with women!"
"How dare you hit me! I'm going to scratch your face to pieces today!"
Zhou Dashan pointed at Yao Shi on the ground and said to the village chief, "Village chief, my Zhou family absolutely cannot keep such a shrew. I want to divorce her. This woman is not worthy of being my wife."
The village chief said with some difficulty, "Dashan, you and Yao have been married for so many years. You two should calm down and discuss this properly. Divorce is not a trivial matter; it requires opening the ancestral hall to write a divorce decree."
"Besides, I heard that when you married Yao, the two of you were very much in love. Why don't you two both think back to that time?"
The village chief's original intention was to let Zhou Dashan and Yao reminisce about the beautiful times when they first got together, so that they wouldn't make a fuss about divorcing each other.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dashan spat and cursed, "When I married this slut, my mother advised me to think it through before making a decision, but this woman came over and told me she was pregnant with my child."
"I only married her out of necessity, thinking that we could live a good life together. But I never expected that this bitch would cause trouble all the time. If anything doesn't go her way, she turns the house upside down. I just can't stand it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many villagers whispered among themselves, "My God, doesn't Zhou Dashan mean that the two of them were already..."
"So that's how Yao married into the Zhou family. I was wondering why Zhou Dashan insisted on marrying her and did so so quickly. Turns out it was because of... because of this."
Immediately, everyone looked at Yao with a different kind of expression, and some people even pointed at Yao and whispered something to her.
Yao's face froze instantly, turning deathly pale. No matter how much she and Zhou Dashan argued or fought before, they would never reveal such things. But today, Zhou Dashan had actually brought up her secrets in front of so many people.
"No, no, you're wrong...you're not Zhou Dashan..."
Yao's pale face was filled with terrified eyes as she stared intently at Zhou Dashan, shaking her head and muttering softly, "No...no, this isn't Zhou Dashan."
She finally understood that the man in front of her was no longer Zhou Dashan, who had always done whatever she wanted; his heart was no longer with her.
It was true that he wanted to divorce her. In order to divorce her, Zhou Dashan even revealed his secrets in front of so many people.
The surrounding villagers also began to steal glances at Zhou Dashan and his children, and then whispered among themselves.
