Chapter 73 A High-Profile Slap in the Face, He's Infuriated
Looking at Shi Liu's ferocious appearance, which made her want to bite, Shi Yu's lips curled into a deeper mocking smile.
She wasn't angry at all, and said, "Don't be in such a hurry. What are those pigs and hens? My mother and I have prepared something even better for you!"
As she spoke, Shi Yu took out the exquisite little iron box from her person.
This is……
Everyone's attention was drawn back to the scene.
Suddenly, Shi Liu's eyes lit up.
This tin box looks exquisite, and judging by its size, it most likely contains... money?!
Others naturally had the same guess.
"This box is probably full of money!"
"Hmm, I think so too. Guess how much this box would cost if it were full! How many pigs could it buy!"
"Won't Shi Liu become rich overnight?"
"Who can disagree? Old Shi is really lucky."
Hearing these comments, the wrinkles on Shi Liu's face smoothed out again.
She puffed out her chest and glanced triumphantly at Shi Daqiang. "Daqiang, go get it!"
"Hey hey!"
At this moment, Shi Daqiang couldn't wait any longer.
He didn't care about money or pigs, because from the moment Huang Ying walked in, all his attention was on her.
After the family split up, Huang Ying became more and more beautiful and charming.
Her every move exuded charm, making him feel a surge of desire, as if she were a celestial being from heaven.
That's strange!
How come he never noticed how beautiful she was before!
"Cough cough cough..." When Shi Daqiang came to the mother and daughter, he reached out to take the iron box from Shi Yu's hand, but his eyes never left Huang Ying's face.
“Yingzi, you did a good job for your mother’s 66th birthday. Since that’s the case, I might consider letting you and your mother move back home.”
"From now on, our whole family will be together in harmony."
"But remember this: although I'm giving you a chance this time, you can't get carried away. You still need to be filial to your mother and take good care of our whole family in the future."
Do you know?
After listening to his long-winded speech, Huang Ying almost burst out laughing.
But thinking about what was about to happen, she pursed her lips and held back.
"Shi Daqiang, I advise you to take a look at what's in the box first before saying anything else!" Huang Ying gave him a mocking glance.
"Alright, I know you want to win your mother's favor in public, get her to praise you, and then come back, right? Wait a minute."
However, Shi Daqiang, that self-righteous fool, completely failed to grasp the deeper meaning behind Huang Ying's words.
He finished speaking with a smug look on his face, then turned around and walked eagerly toward Shi Liu Shi.
"Mother, this is a gift from Yingzi. Please open it and take a look."
"Um!"
After snorting through her nose, Shi Liu arrogantly reached out and took it.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, she slowly opened the box.
The corners of her lips couldn't help but slowly turn upwards.
The next moment, everything around them suddenly became quiet.
The scene that Shi Liu had imagined—where everyone suddenly saw a thick stack of banknotes and erupted in excited and envious screams—did not occur.
"Hmm, what's going on?"
Shi Liu was puzzled and was about to look down when the peasant woman closest to her took the first thing and reached out to take the contents of the box.
"Oh! This is... a divorce certificate!"
The peasant woman gasped in surprise.
What?
Everyone was shocked and swarmed over in a flash.
When the peasant woman opened the divorce certificate, everyone stared at it intently.
Immediately, the scene erupted in an uproar.
"It's Huang Ying and Shi Daqiang's divorce certificate."
"My God! Huang Ying actually kicked Shi Daqiang. In all these hundreds of years, we've never had such a shameful thing as a woman rejecting a man."
"Who says otherwise? Just now Shi Daqiang said he would give Huang Ying a chance to go back. Thinking about his self-righteous look makes me laugh."
"His mother is just as wicked, trying to take advantage of the situation and accept some generous gift. Turns out, the generous gift was a divorce certificate. It's hilarious."
A series of mocking laughs entered his ears, and Shi Daqiang's eyes widened in disbelief.
No...it can't be...
A woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog.
Huang Ying had been married to him for many years and had always been hardworking, sensible, and obedient.
I will absolutely not divorce him.
Thinking of this, Shi Daqiang rushed forward like a madman, pushed through the crowd, and snatched the divorce certificate.
He stared intently at it.
The red stamp from the Civil Affairs Bureau on the divorce certificate was clearly visible.
boom!
The last glimmer of hope was shattered.
Shi Daqiang's pupils dilated sharply, and his face turned deathly pale.
A few seconds later, he swayed and looked up at Huang Ying with gritted teeth, shouting angrily.
"Huang Ying, are you crazy? You're so old, why would you divorce me?"
Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you for being indecent?
"Oh, I know! Is it because you've been having an affair with that guy surnamed Yu behind my back, that you're so eager to divorce me?"
"Pah, Huang Ying, you're shameless."
Huang Ying looked at Shi Daqiang, who was turning the tables and still didn't realize his mistake, and just gave a cold laugh with a calm expression, "Shi Daqiang, you're really pathetic!"
"Me... pitiful?" Shi Daqiang's voice trembled.
"Yes!" Huang Ying nodded. "As a husband and a father, you couldn't protect your wife and daughter, letting your mother run rampant without daring to utter a single word. You are both the murderer and an accomplice."
"Cowardly and incompetent."
"You brought this upon yourself, but instead of reflecting on your own actions, you turn around and smear me."
"If you don't pity me, who will?"
With each sentence Huang Ying uttered, Shi Daqiang's face grew paler.
At this moment, it was as if all the strength in his body had been drained away; his steps were unsteady, and his whole body was swaying precariously.
He moved his lips with difficulty, but Shi Daqiang couldn't utter a single word.
Because... he simply couldn't refute it.
From being lauded as a birthday celebrant, he suddenly became a laughingstock.
The drastic change in her appearance caused Shi Liu's expression to twist and contort. Ignoring everything else, she suddenly grabbed something nearby and hurled it at Huang Ying, yelling, "You slut, you beast, you little rascal!"
"roll!"
"Get out of here!"
Shi Yu reacted quickly and pulled Huang Ying away.
She gave the furious Shi Liu a meaningful look and deliberately reminded her, "Hey! Didn't you invite people over to celebrate your birthday? Why hasn't the feast started yet?"
Upon hearing this, the others finally realized what was going on.
"Yes, Shi Liu, let's not waste any more time, let's start the feast!"
"Hurry up, I still have to go home and work after I finish eating."
"this……"
The ferocious look on Shi Liu's face suddenly froze, her eyes flickered guiltily, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
There's no food at home, so how are we going to have a feast?
Because from the very beginning, she had her sights set on Shi Yu, wanting to take advantage of him.
I never expected it to turn out like this...
"Shi Liu, does your family not have any food at all?" Someone seemed to have noticed something amiss and suddenly asked this question.
