While everything was harmonious on Jiang Tong's side, Xu Huaiyuan's family seemed rather disheveled.
First, his parents started arguing incessantly, and then his little daughter kept crying. Xu Huaiyuan couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Are you two ever going to stop?"
Xu Shengfu didn't dare to say a word this time. His family was just an ordinary wage earner before, and they only became wealthy because of their son.
Neither of the elderly couple works now, and they rely on their son to give them pocket money.
Of course, he dared not anger his son.
Wang Chungui was still muttering to herself, "It's all your fault. You left some leverage over them. I told you not to tell your wife everything, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened! They've got something on you to swindle money from you!"
The thought of those five million yuan made her ache terribly; it felt like her heart was being ripped out.
Wang Chungui kept cursing and swearing.
Seeing that his son's face was even worse, Xu Shengfu could only scold his wife, "Alright, if we're not getting a divorce, we're getting one. Let's go home. Why are we still talking about this?"
Peipei was still confused and clung to her grandmother's neck, refusing to let go.
The family returned home.
The house suddenly felt different. Although the things were still the same, there were only the four of them left, and their feelings were very complicated.
Children's toys are scattered all over the floor, clothes are messy on the sofa, there are oil stains left from cooking in the morning in the kitchen, and pots and pans are in the sink.
Xu Shengfu looked at the messy room, too lazy to bother with it, took off his shoes, threw his smelly socks aside, and turned on the TV.
As a chauvinistic man, it's impossible for him to do housework; he's just a garbage collector, throwing trash everywhere every day.
Xu Huaiyuan is very clean, but he dislikes cleaning. When they were dating, he would help Jiang Tong with chores, but after marriage, he basically never did any housework.
He was in a terrible mood. The feeling of his orderly life being disrupted was awful. In addition, the chat logs that Jiang Tong had were a ticking time bomb. If she were to spread the words he had said to his peers or business partners, his reputation would be completely ruined, and he would be unable to do any business.
Seeing this messy house, even though Jiang Tong had only been gone for one night and one day, it was still in such a mess. In the past, the house was always neat and tidy, clean and bright everywhere.
Frustrated, Xu Huaiyuan loosened his tie, turned around, and went back to his room to wash up. He had to go to work later, and he was too exhausted to respond to his little daughter's coquettishness.
He had no idea that this suffering was just the beginning.
Peipei tried to tug at her father's trouser leg and act cute, but no one answered when she called him. When she came back, there were no delicious drinks that her mother had prepared.
She could only ask her grandmother for water. Wang Chungui looked at the mess in the room and was in a bad mood. She could only impatiently coax her granddaughter back to the bedroom.
"Look at this mess. Jiang Tong is no good. She just left like that. I knew she was cold-hearted. She just wanted a divorce and left this whole family behind. Who will clean up this mess now?"
As Wang Chungui bent down to pack her things, she grumbled and cursed. Then came regret. She thought to herself that she should have just been more patient and coaxed her.
Now that there's no one to clean the house, she has to do all the housework herself.
Seeing the living room in such a mess that her granddaughter had made, the granddaughter suddenly became less endearing. "Why does this child just throw her toys around like that?"
There was a pile of clean clothes that hadn't been folded on the sofa, and another pile of dirty clothes that hadn't been washed in the bathroom. There were also some dirty outer clothes that were just lying around on the sofa.
They're all mixed together.
Wang Chungui was extremely annoyed. Ever since Jiang Tong got married, she had been doing all the housework. She rarely saw Jiang Tong doing any work, but everything was always in perfect order.
Why is there so much more housework now that she's gone? There's work to be done everywhere!
Wang Chungui couldn't stand it anymore. She shouted, "No way! We need to hire a nanny. I'm not happy doing all this housework every day!"
As she spoke, she threw down her messy clothes, too lazy to tidy them up.
Xu Shengfu was watching TV with the remote control, lying on the sofa with his smelly feet up. Hearing this, he said, "If you hadn't been arguing with Tongtong every day, would she have been able to leave so easily? If you had been nice to her, she wouldn't have wanted to leave."
Wang Chungui immediately retorted, "Why didn't you protect her before? Now that she's divorced and gone, you're suddenly so protective. Let me tell you, if you don't cook dinner tonight, none of us will eat!"
Xu Shengfu used to cook all the time, but since his daughter-in-law came into the family, he has stopped cooking. He praises his daughter-in-law's cooking every day and then relaxes, only asking what he wants to eat at mealtimes.
We'll definitely be able to eat it that night.
The two elders have been turned into useless people; they don't want to do anything right now.
Ultimately, it will backfire on them.
Xu Huaiyuan was also annoyed. He couldn't find any clothes he liked and subconsciously wanted to call out to Jiang Tong, but his wife's virtuous figure had long since disappeared.
There won't be another one like this.
The bedroom was empty.
Standing in the dressing room, looking at his disheveled appearance, and hearing his parents arguing in the living room, he was so angry that he smashed the mirror.
As the mirror shattered on the floor, the argument in the living room quieted down.
Wang Chungui rushed into the master bedroom and saw her son coming out of the walk-in closet. With a cold face, she said, "I will hire a nanny from now on. You can continue living your lives as before. I don't expect you to do anything. Just take good care of Peipei for me and teach her manners. Don't just cry and whine."
Xu Huaiyuan left these worries behind and went outside for some fresh air. He felt he would suffocate if he stayed in this house any longer.
