Chapter 108: "In one word, divorce, separation!"...
Zhao Yunfang's son, Dong Mingjie, celebrated his third birthday, and the Dong family held a banquet. Wang Ying and her family visited Zhao Yunfang's home for the first time.
Zhao Yunfang's family lived in the east of the city. Dong Zhiyuan was the only one in the family; there were no cousins or siblings. Zhao Yunfang's birth of a son brought smiles to the eyes of the old Dong couple, who were extremely polite to the Zhao family members.
Wang Ying and Chen Xiuqin sat by Zhao Yunfang's bed. Chen Xiuqin said, "Be quiet! You're not allowed to take a bath!" Zhao Yunfang's mother-in-law had just whispered to Chen Xiuqin that Zhao Yunfang had just returned from the hospital and wanted to take a bath. How could she, a woman in confinement, be allowed to take a bath? Afraid she couldn't convince Zhao Yunfang, she turned to Chen Xiuqin for help.
"I stink!" Zhao Yunfang said. "It's so hot now, what's wrong with taking a shower?"
"When Zhixia gets sick, you won't even have a place to cry when you regret it!" Chen Xiuqin said, "You are not allowed to argue with Zhiyuan and your mother-in-law. It's me who forbade you to wash."
Chen Xiuqin still held considerable authority over Zhao Yunfang. Zhao Yunfang muttered a few words but didn't dare argue any further. She simply said to Wang Ying, "Yingzi, when you have your baby, you must choose the right time for confinement. Don't let it be too hot or too cold, otherwise you'll suffer."
Wang Ying smiled without saying anything. Zhao Yunsheng, who was sitting on the chair, smiled and said "OK", but then received a roll of the eyes from Wang Ying.
As they were talking, Zhao Yunfei arrived with Dongbao. Since the room was crowded, Zhao Yunsheng gave up his chair to Zhao Yunfei and left.
When Chen Xiuqin saw Zhao Yunfei and her daughter coming, she asked, "Ji Yang isn't here?"
"No." Zhao Yunfei said.
"Aunt, where is my brother? I want to see him." Dongbao said while leaning on the bed.
"My brother is sleeping." Zhao Yunfang pointed inside the bed.
"Sleeping is not fun!" Dongbao stomped her feet and ran out to play with her uncle.
"How is it? Is the milk coming in? Is it enough for me to eat?" Zhao Yunfei asked.
"Don't mention it!" Zhao Yunfang frowned. "It hurts so much! I don't even want to feed it anymore."
Chen Xiuqin glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Zhao Yunfei smiled and said, "It will hurt for a few days, but it will be fine after a while."
"Giving birth to a child is a hundred kinds of suffering!" said Zhao Yunfang.
"Turn around and look at your fat son. Don't you feel happy?" Chen Xiuqin said.
Zhao Yunfang turned her head to look at her son who was sleeping soundly. She was happy of course, but it was also really suffering.
Zhao Yunfang teased Xiao Mingjie and said, "If he dares to be unfilial to me in the future, I will break his legs."
Chen Xiuqin glared at her: "If that's how you calculate it, then I should have broken your legs long ago."
"Ah? Am I unfilial?..."
"How can you be filial..."
Wang Ying sat by the bed, listening to Chen Xiuqin and her daughters talk. She thought back to her past life. She had given birth in her thirties, an advanced maternal age, and had suffered far more than Zhao Yunfang. She had finally given birth to a son, carefully raised and nurtured him, only to find he was an ungrateful person.
In her previous life, Wang Ying initially questioned whether her approach to educating Du Yaozu was wrong. Later, she realized it wasn't her fault; the problem lay with the Du family itself, with Du Jianguo and Sun Qiaoling.
“Wow~~Wow~~”
Little Mingjie's two cries brought Wang Ying back to his senses.
Zhao Yunfang sighed: "It's time to feed again!"
Chen Xiuqin stood up, took little Mingjie out, and said, "It's time to change his diaper."
Zhao Yunfei took a diaper from the cabinet beside the bed. Chen Xiuqin changed the diaper for Xiao Mingjie and put him in Zhao Yunfang's arms for her to feed.
Little Mingjie whimpered as he sucked his milk, Zhao Yunfang hissed and cried out in pain, and Chen Xiuqin was both angry and amused: "How can you be like this!"
"It really hurts, my dear mother!" Zhao Yunfang said exaggeratedly.
Chen Xiuqin knew it hurt, but what could she do? She had to feed her own child. She only did this when her family was around. If there was no one around, she would have to feed the child even if she had to grit her teeth.
"Just bear with it, the pain will go away in a few days," said Chen Xiuqin.
Zhao Yunfang's face was distorted with pain, and she grimaced and said, "I'll endure it! I'll endure it! A woman's gotta endure it!"
Chen Xiuqin and Zhao Yunfei looked at Zhao Yunfang speechlessly, while Wang Ying smiled beside them. The second aunt was a good-tempered person and would scream if she felt pain.
After finally feeding the baby, Zhao Yunfang's face was red and tears were in the corners of her eyes. She was really in pain.
Little Mingjie fell asleep again after finishing his milk. Zhao Yunfang painfully pulled down her clothes, trying her best not to let them touch her. It would hurt her heart if they touched her.
"Yingzi, are you afraid?" Zhao Yunfang asked Wang Ying.
"A little scared." Wang Ying nodded.
"Oh, I almost forgot about you. I must have scared you. Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt that much." Zhao Yunfang said.
Chen Xiuqin glared at her, and Wang Ying smiled: "Okay, then I'm not afraid anymore."
Chen Xiuqin said, "Let's go out and let you get some sleep. Sleep will help you regain your energy."
"Well, I'll take a nap." said Zhao Yunfang.
Chen Xiuqin took her daughter and daughter-in-law out of the room, carefully closing the door.
Wang Ying and the others were chatting in the main hall, reminiscing about the three Zhao sisters' childhoods and Dongbao. The Dong family was busy cooking in the kitchen, while Zhao Yunsheng and Dongbao had gone off to play somewhere. Director Zhao stood in the yard, studying the Dong family's jujube tree.
Wang Ying noticed that Zhao Yunfei kept looking at her watch, as if something happened.
Chen Xiuqin also noticed it and asked Zhao Yunfei: "Yunfei, is there something wrong at work? You keep looking at your watch."
Zhao Yunfei lowered her eyelids and said after two seconds: "It's not at work, it's at home."
Chen Xiuqin's breathing stagnated, and she lowered her voice: "What happened at home?"
"I don't know yet. Mom, when you go home, please help me clean up the room and wipe the mat. I may have to bring Dongbao back to live with me tonight." Zhao Yunfei said.
After she said this, Chen Xiuqin and Wang Ying knew everything. Her family's mess was about to be exposed today. Judging by Zhao Yunfei's behavior, she must have deliberately arranged for her brother-in-law to come home and catch her in an affair.
"Then, do you want us to go back with you?" Chen Xiuqin said.
Zhao Yunfei said, "No, if you all go with them, Ji Yang might suspect that I was the one who set it up."
"That's right. Be careful then, and don't let yourself get into trouble." Chen Xiuqin said, "How about asking Yunsheng and Yingzi to go back with you?"
"Yes, sister, we will go back with you. Didn't you say you had a film for Yunsheng? We said we were going to get the film." Wang Ying said.
"That's fine." Zhao Yunfei said.
At noon, the Dong family's table was ready, along with a red bathtub and water for little Mingjie. At this time of year, there were no rituals for bathing the third child, no offerings, no incense. Chen Xiuqin simply held little Mingjie and gave him a bath, and that was it. Zhao Yunsheng took his camera and photographed his eldest nephew's bathing ceremony.
After taking a bath, Xiao Mingjie was wrapped in the bed sheet and placed next to Zhao Yunfang.
Zhao Yunfang's mother-in-law served the food to Zhao Yunfang first, and then started the meal.
The Dong family cooked good food, mainly because they used a lot of oil. They cooked black fish soup for Zhao Yunfang, and Wang Ying also ate half a bowl. It was very delicious.
After dinner, Wang Ying whispered to Zhao Yunsheng about going to his eldest sister's house. Zhao Yunsheng snorted coldly when he heard about it: "I'm going to settle the score with him today."
Chen Xiuqin knew what the couple was talking about, so she came over and told Zhao Yunsheng, "Yunsheng, don't do anything rash. No matter what happens in their family, don't do anything."
"I understand." Zhao Yunsheng agreed reluctantly. He actually wanted to beat Ji Yang up.
The family chatted with Zhao Yunfang for a while, and around 3:00 p.m., they left Dong's house together.
When Zhao Yunfei brought Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng to Ji's house, the family was in chaos. Crying, shouting, and cursing were mixed together, and it was impossible to hear what they were arguing about.
"Mom..." Dongbao was frightened. He hugged Zhao Yunfei's neck and shrank in her arms.
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng followed Zhao Yunfei into the living room on the first floor of Ji's house. As soon as they entered, the noise stopped immediately, leaving only sobbing.
"What... happened?" Zhao Yunfei asked blankly.
Wang Ying saw a smashed vase in the Ji family's living room, shattered porcelain pieces scattered everywhere. Zhao Yunfei's mother-in-law sat on the sofa, wiping tears. Sitting on the floor was what must have been Zhao Yunfei's sister-in-law, with wounds on her face and arms, cradling her pregnant belly. Ji Yang stood beside her. Zhao Yunfei's brother-in-law and Ji Yang stood face to face, less than a meter apart, as if they were about to fight, or had just fought.
"Why is Meiling sitting on the ground? I've been away from home for a long time. What happened?" Zhao Yunfei said.
Ji Yang glanced at Zhao Yunfei, then glanced at Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng behind her, and said coldly: "What's going on? Don't you know? Isn't this the result you want!"
Zhao Yunfei's brother-in-law Ji Qiang found the right opportunity, stepped forward and kicked Ji Yang in the stomach, knocking Ji Yang to the ground.
"Brother!" Meiling shouted and rushed towards Ji Yang.
When Ji Qiang saw his wife going to protect his elder brother, he went forward to kick her again, but was stopped by his mother.
"Qiangzi, Qiangzi, you can't fight anymore, you can't fight anymore..."
Zhao Yunfei handed Dongbao to Wang Ying and kicked the broken porcelain pieces at her feet, which flew towards Ji Yang and the others. Ji Yang protected his sister-in-law in his arms, but he himself could not dodge the porcelain pieces, which passed through his face and cut it.
"What do you mean by the result I want? Is this the result I want? Ji Yang! What did you tell me before?" Zhao Yunfei yelled, "Didn't you say it had nothing to do with her? You kept her in your arms?"
After hearing what Zhao Yunfei said, Ji Qiang turned to look at her: "Sister-in-law! You actually knew this a long time ago!? Why didn't you say it! "
"Ask your brother!" Zhao Yunfei's voice trembled as she pointed at Ji Yang, who was sitting on the ground. "He said I misunderstood them, that I had a dirty mind, that they were innocent, and that Meiling just mistook him for you! What can I say? What can I do!"
"You believe what he said, are you stupid?" Ji Qiang said angrily.
"What are you yelling at my elder sister for!" Zhao Yunsheng said at this moment, "Does my elder sister have no shame and no desire to live? Who knew they could really do such a thing worse than pigs and dogs!"
Ji Qiang immediately turned his gun and pointed it at the two people sitting on the ground: "You are worse than pigs and dogs! Tang Meiling! Tell me clearly, whose child is in your belly!"
Tang Meiling looked at Ji Qiang and then at Ji Yang, and said timidly, "I don't know..."
Ji Qiang wanted to hit her again, but his mother held him back.
At this time, Ji Yang was still staring at Zhao Yunfei with hatred in his eyes.
"Don't think I don't know. This is what you designed on purpose! You designed it so that Ji Qiang would find out." Ji Yang said.
Dongbao had been looking at his father and was frightened by his eyes. He burst into tears and hugged Wang Ying's neck tightly.
Only then did Ji Yang notice his daughter. He looked away, stood up, helped Tang Meiling up, and helped her sit on the sofa.
"Today I've finally seen how shameless people can be. Was it my eldest sister who set you up with your sister-in-law? Was it my eldest sister who set you up with your sister-in-law? You're shameless, yet you're blaming others!" Zhao Yunsheng pointed at Ji Yang and cursed, "Sister! Divorce him! It's better to divorce him sooner rather than later!"
Ji Qiang also said, "I want a divorce too! Regardless of whether the child in Tang Meiling's belly is mine or not, I don't recognize it! Divorce!"
"Don't talk nonsense. The baby in Meiling's belly is yours. You can't divorce, you can't divorce at all. I won't allow it." Ji Yang's mother said.
Ji Qiang pushed his mother away, almost throwing her to the ground. He shouted at her, "How do you know it's mine? You saw them going to bed together, didn't you? Or did you calculate the date for the three of us? Don't think I don't know what you think. The meat is rotten in the pot. Anyway, any child of our brother is your grandson! You don't care that I'm cuckolded. Anyway, I'm not as promising as your precious eldest son! You just need to save his face. Just help them hide it! Humph, you think too much. Judging from her fickle appearance, she might be the child of someone outside. Oh, maybe it's the old man's child. That's what we call the meat is rotten in the pot!"
Ji Qiang's words almost made his mother faint from anger. She took a few steps back, held her forehead and sat down on the sofa.
"Ji Qiang, do you want to piss off your mother to death?" Ji Yang said angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes, she was pissed off at me. She wasn't pissed off at the adulterer, she was pissed off at me." Ji Qiang laughed in anger. "In a word, divorce, separation!"
"I also have one thing to say: divorce and Dongbao will be mine!" said Zhao Yunfei.
"We can't leave...we can't leave...Yunfei, Qiangzi, we can't leave! If we leave home, we will be separated!" Ji Yang's mother said hurriedly.
"You must leave!" Zhao Yunsheng said, "If you don't leave our house, I'll sue you in court!"
Dongbao was still crying loudly and hugged Wang Ying tightly. Wang Ying gently stroked her back and coaxed her softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"What's the point of breaking up? You already have a son, a wife, and a grandson!" Ji Qiang chuckled and said, "This marriage must be divorced, and we'll get it divorced tomorrow! If you don't, I'll go to Big Brother's workplace and make a scene! Let's see who gets humiliated!"
"Brother, my stomach hurts..." Tang Meiling, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly said to Ji Yang while holding her stomach.
Ji Yang immediately became nervous and said to Ji Qiang, "Take her to the hospital quickly."
A look of pain and ferocity flashed across Ji Qiang's face: "What does it have to do with me? If you want to take me, go ahead! It's your child anyway!"
Tang Meiling grabbed Ji Yang's arm and said, "Brother, he doesn't want me anymore. He doesn't care about me anymore. Take me to the hospital quickly. My stomach hurts."
Ji Yang didn't care about anything else and helped Tang Meiling walk out. After a few steps, blood dripped from Tang Meiling's feet.
When Ji Yang passed by Zhao Yunfei, he gave her a vicious look. Zhao Yunfei's wish had come true, but she didn't feel happy at all! They used to be in love, inseparable, but who could have imagined that they would end up like this today.
"Sister, where is your room? Let's pack up and go home." Wang Ying said.
"Don't go!" Ji Yang's mother shouted, but no one paid any attention to her, even Ji Qiang left.
Zhao Yunfei took Dongbao from Wang Ying and took Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng upstairs. After arriving at their room, before they started to clean up, Ji Yang came up again.
Ji Yang walked straight to the wardrobe, opened the drawer, and took out a briefcase. As he passed by Zhao Yunfei, he said harshly, "I don't think you can live a good life without me! You have to make such a fuss." Then he left.
Wang Ying looked at the bag in Ji Yang's hand and wondered whether she should let Zhao Yunsheng snatch it away. Even if they were divorced, the family property still had to be divided...
"Sister, what's in that bag?" Wang Ying asked Zhao Yunfei.
"He has his own things and some cash," Zhao Yunfei said. "I have the large passbook in my hands. I coaxed him over here a while ago."
"That's good." Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Yunfei smiled bitterly: "Isn't it for these reasons that I have endured in silence and played dumb until today?"
"But he still suspected that it was you who designed it," said Wang Ying.
"Just doubt it if you want, the marriage is settled anyway." Zhao Yunfei hugged Dongbao tightly in her arms. Ji Yang was in a hurry to take Tang Meiling to the hospital and didn't even take a second look at Dongbao.
"Mom, what is divorce?" Dongbao said in a crying voice.
"Mom and Dad are going to separate. From now on, I'll take you to live with grandma, grandpa, uncle, and aunt, okay?" Zhao Yunfei said.
Dongbao was silent for two seconds, then cried and said, "Okay."
"Sister, do you have any big bags or bags? Let's pack up and go quickly!" said Zhao Yunsheng.
"Not really. If you can take it with you, take it with you. If you can't, come back and get it next time." Zhao Yunfei said.
"Just use a bed sheet," Wang Ying said. "Take as many as you can to save yourself the trouble next time."
As Wang Ying spoke, he had already opened Zhao Yunfei's chest of drawers, took out the bed sheet from it, spread it directly on the bed, and then began to pack Zhao Yunfei's things.
The mother and daughter had a lot of stuff, so they packed four large packages. There was still a lot that couldn't be put in, so Zhao Yunfei said forget it.
Zhao Yunsheng went downstairs carrying two large bundles tied together. Ji Yang's mother tried to stop him, but Zhao Yunsheng said, "If you try to stop me, I'll go to your son's workplace and make trouble tomorrow."
Zhao Yunsheng went in two trips to take down all of Zhao Yunfei's luggage and tied it all to his bicycle.
Zhao Yunfei also went downstairs holding Dongbao and Wang Ying. Wang Ying was holding a small bag in her hand, which contained Zhao Yunfei's important things, including passbooks.
"Yunfei, you can't leave... Dongbao, tell your mother not to leave." Ji Yang's mother pulled the corner of Zhao Yunfei's clothes.
Zhao Yunfei looked at her coldly: "You knew this a long time ago, right? You were covering for them, otherwise how could they have kept it a secret from Ji Qiang and me for so long?"
Ji Qiang came out of the room and just heard what Zhao Yunfei said. He glared at his mother fiercely and turned away.
"Let's go." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunfei carried Dongbao and Wang Ying, while Zhao Yunsheng carried the luggage and left Ji's house.
After Director Zhao and Chen Xiuqin arrived home, Chen Xiuqin told them about this. Director Zhao was silent for a long time and said, "How did Ji Yang become like this?"
Chen Xiuqin also sighed: "Who knows, people's hearts are fickle. I hope Yunsheng and the others don't start a fight when they leave."
"With Yunfei and Yingzi here, there won't be a fight," Director Zhao said. "So will Yunfei stay at home from now on?"
"Let's talk about it later. She said before that she wanted to live in the company dormitory, but Yingzi said so." Chen Xiuqin said.
"Yingzi has a large capacity and won't care about these things." Director Zhao said.
"Yunfei has her own ideas. Let's wait until she comes back." Chen Xiuqin said. Of course, she still hopes that her daughter will live at home, but she is also afraid that it will be bad for her to live near her. Yunfei and Yingzi have a good relationship now. If they really live together, it will be bad if there is a conflict.
Chen Xiuqin looked at the door from time to time, and finally Wang Ying and the others came back.
Wang Ying got out of the car and picked up Dongbao from the car. As soon as Dongbao landed on the ground, he threw himself into Chen Xiuqin's arms.
Chen Xiuqin hugged Dongbao and tears suddenly came down. The adults were divorced and the children suffered.
Zhao Yunsheng moved the gifts of Zhao Yunfei and her daughter to their room. Chen Xiuqin asked Zhao Yunfei about the situation of the Ji family in the main hall.
After hearing what Zhao Yunfei said, Chen Xiuqin said angrily, "It's so dirty! Don't even let Dongbao see it from now on!"
Zhao Yunfei said, "If Tang Meiling can keep the baby in her belly, she won't care about Dongbao."
Wang Ying felt it was a bit difficult. Looking at the amount of bleeding Tang Meiling was suffering, she felt that the baby might not be saved. Ji Qiang was indeed very cruel.
Such people who disregard human ethics and are driven by desire will not have a good ending, and these two will not be happy together in the future. They could only hide behind the stable family and do shameful things. Without the family, their hidden feelings also lost their nourishment, and in the end, they had no choice but to part ways. This is why Ji Yang was not sure about the divorce.
Chen Xiuqin and Zhao Yunfei were talking about Ji Yang, and somehow the topic got to Zhao Yunsheng. Zhao Yunfei said, "If you dare mess around with Yingzi behind her back, we'll definitely break your legs and kick you out of the house!"
Zhao Yunsheng jumped up anxiously: "Don't compare me with that kind of scumbag, it's an insult to my character! I will never betray Yingzi even if I die!"
"You're the best!" said Zhao Yunfei.
Zhao Yunsheng glanced at Wang Ying aggrievedly, hoping that Wang Ying would believe him and say something good for him. Unexpectedly, Wang Ying followed Zhao Yunfei and said, "You're the best!"
