Chapter 118 Divorced or widowed, I will marry no one but him
The old lady's face was very somber, unlike Peng Hai's calm expression, which made the housekeeper's heart leap into his throat.
The man blushed and said, "Yes, Yang Zeyan really did bring a wife back. My third brother was right, he really got their marriage certificate!"
He wasn't this angry when he was with the Yang family; now he simply couldn't bear it anymore.
Old Mrs. Peng still couldn't believe it. She looked at her son, Peng Hai, who pursed his lips and remained silent, only nodding slightly.
"Outrageous! How dare the Yang family speak of our Peng family like that!" the old lady said angrily.
The elegantly dressed woman frowned and spoke, "Now the Yang family is not good enough for Rou'er. Our Rou'er insists on marrying him. What should we do?"
She maintained a reserved demeanor at the Yang family's house, after all, the two elders were her seniors. But back at her own home, she no longer held back, and finally revealed what was on her mind.
Old Mrs. Peng spoke with displeasure, "Didn't the third son say that she was a vulgar country girl? Would the Yang family tolerate her?"
The problem with the old lady of the Peng family is undoubtedly obvious, and everyone thinks it's impossible.
Peng Hai frowned and said, "It's impossible to accept. You don't know, Yang Qiming directly asked that woman to leave, without even giving her a chance to sit down."
Grandma Peng's expression finally softened a little after hearing this, but then the woman beside her spoke up.
"But Mother, even if Yang Zeyan divorces that woman, he'll still be in his second marriage. How can he be worthy of Rou'er!"
Peng Hai nodded in agreement, as did his sons. Seeing this, Old Mrs. Peng fell into deep thought.
"Mother, let's find Rou'er a new partner. The Song family is also..." The woman winked at the old lady, stopping short of a direct suggestion.
After listening, the sons exchanged glances and then began to imagine.
“But the Song family never plays with us. They’re just different. They don’t fit in at all!” The son, sitting at the head of the table, looked at his mother with a resistant expression.
The woman rolled her eyes at her son. "When did my son, Li Chunxia's son, become so stupid! Now that we're family, why would we be so distant?"
Her son suddenly understood after hearing this and gave his mother a thumbs up.
The old lady of the Peng family also revealed a meaningful smile, "It's not just about arranging a marriage alliance with the Song family, but also about making the Yang family pay a price!"
After listening, everyone looked at each other and then nodded.
The group reached a consensus, but just then they heard the sound of things being smashed coming from upstairs.
Old Mrs. Peng pulled her shawl tighter and looked at Li Chunxia, "Aren't you going to check on your daughter? A girl shouldn't be so dramatic about a man, should she?"
Li Chunxia's expression wasn't good either. "Mother, Rou'er has only just accepted it and can't say anything more. We need to give her some time."
Grandma Peng turned and went upstairs to her room without saying anything, and Li Chunxia followed her up.
“Mother, let me see my little sister with you. She listens to me the most!” said the boy closest to Li Chunxia.
"Third brother, come on, no one is as useful as fourth brother Guoqi. It's a pity he didn't return to the capital with Yang Zeyan this time," said the man sitting at the head of the table.
"Big brother, you can't say that. Although the fourth brother's words carry weight, I, Peng Guohang, am also the most important man to my sister!" the third brother, Peng Guohang, said indignantly.
Before the man at the head of the group could say anything more, Li Chunxia spoke up, "Alright, Youtian, you should say less. Your sister is just having a moment of weakness. I'll go talk to her. Don't make things worse."
After Li Chunxia finished speaking, she went upstairs, leaving her three sons and husband staring at each other blankly.
"Brother, how can you say that Guoqi is more important to my sister? Isn't she close to Guoqi because of Yang Zeyan?" Peng Guohang stood up to defend himself after his mother walked away.
Peng Guotian understood this reasoning, but when he thought about how his younger sister shed tears for Yang Zeyan, he became dissatisfied with his younger brother, Sheng Guoqi.
"Why bring him up? He's been following Yang Zeyan around without stopping his sister from being so heartbroken. He didn't explain things clearly when he sent the message, making our family lose face at the Yang family's house today!" Peng Guotian expressed his displeasure.
No one dared to speak up for Sheng Guoqi. If Sheng Guoqi had explained the matter to them clearly, this wouldn't have happened.
“That’s good too. At least the Yang family owes us something, so we should ask for more compensation when the time comes,” the second son, Sheng Youping, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
The group looked at him, stunned for a moment, then quickly showed expressions of relief.
"Second brother is the most insightful. Why not ask for more compensation for our sister? It will pave the way for her in the Chu family in the future," said eldest brother Peng Guotian.
Their plan was very clever, but Peng Yarou, the person involved, didn't think so.
When Li Chunxia entered the room, Peng Yarou's room was practically a garbage dump; even a garbage dump wouldn't be this bad.
"Ya Rou, are you calm now?" Li Chunxia asked calmly. In her opinion, anger should be vented, and these inanimate objects are worthless.
"Mom, I feel terrible!" Peng Yarou said, throwing herself into her mother's arms.
Mother Peng patted her back patiently to comfort her, "My dear daughter, let's not cry. If Yang Zeyan doesn't know what's good for him, we'll just leave him and find someone who understands and loves our Rou'er, okay?"
"No, I want to marry Brother Zeyan, I only want him!" Peng Yarou was not pleased by this; instead, she glared at Li Chunxia with agitation.
Li Chunxia was taken aback. She thought Peng Yarou would give up on Yang Zeyan after this incident, but she didn't expect her to still stubbornly insist on marrying Yang Zeyan.
"Rou'er, listen to me, Yang Zeyan is already married, do you understand?" Li Chunxia explained gently to Peng Yarou.
"Getting married doesn't mean you can't get divorced. Divorce is a personal choice these days. If they get divorced, I can marry him!"
"Besides, Uncle Yang also said that he wouldn't let me suffer any injustice!"
Peng Yarou's indifferent attitude gave Li Chunxia a headache, and she could only rub her temples to calm herself down.
She could only continue to reason with Peng Yarou, "Rou'er, Yang Zeyan is no longer good enough for you. People will laugh at you for marrying a divorced man!"
"Rou'er, his divorce isn't so easy, you know?" Li Chunxia added, afraid that Peng Yarou would argue back.
Peng Yarou hadn't expected things to be so complicated. She stared wide-eyed at her mother in disbelief.
"Mom, you're joking, aren't you? Uncle Yang has already promised me that Yang Zeyan will marry me, he'll definitely find a way!"
"I don't care about being a divorcee. All I know is that I will marry him, no matter if he is divorced or widowed!"
Peng Yarou stared into Li Chunxia's eyes, speaking each word with icy coldness. This made Li Chunxia feel both unfamiliar with her and afraid of her.
“Rou’er, you mustn’t say such things. Why should the children of the Peng family have to beg for marriage? Although your Uncle Yang likes you, you know why. If Yang Zeyan finds out the reason, you will face something else entirely…” Li Chunxia stopped there because she saw her family’s steward carrying a bowl of something into the room.
