Old Zhao's words were not what he truly meant, but they touched a nerve with his wife.
"Well, you, Zhao the eldest, have you been eyeing your third brother's wife all along? Humph, it's no use just because you're interested. Your third brother's wife doesn't even give you a second glance!"
"You shameless woman, stop talking nonsense!" Old Zhao was completely enraged by his wife's words and wished he could shut her up.
If the gossipy women in the village heard this, things would get out of hand.
Just as he was thinking this, he turned his head and saw Ling Qi appear at the gate of his courtyard.
Ling Qi was holding the things he had bought in Youzhou City.
Old Zhao looked embarrassed and glared at his wife unhappily.
However, his wife immediately came up to him and started punching and kicking him, saying, "Tell me, when exactly did you start eyeing Qiu Yumei? Have you and that vixen been in cahoots all along...?"
In just a moment, several bloody scratches appeared on Zhao Laoda's face.
Old Zhao shoved her with his backhand, sending Zhao's wife staggering backward and crashing to the ground. "You wretched woman, believe it or not, I'll divorce you right now!"
"Hmph, you good-for-nothing, why don't you just divorce me? You can't even read a single word, can you even write a divorce letter... Oh dear, this is terrible, I can't live like this anymore..."
Sister-in-law Zhao lay on the ground and began to throw a tantrum.
Ling Qi… He turned to leave, but then heard Boss Zhao say in a deep voice,
"Who are you looking for?" He was a complete stranger to Ling Qi.
Ling Qi glanced at Zhao Laoda, then at Zhao Dasao's sharp-tongued expression, and genuinely felt that Zhao Laoda was too pitiful.
Is Grandma Xu home?
Zhao Da Sao was startled and scrambled to her feet. Hearing the question, she immediately looked at Ling Qi.
Because Sister-in-law Zhao had such a strong impression of Ling Qi at the beginning of the year, she recognized him at a glance.
Her first thought was of the child that Qiu Yumei was raising for someone else.
"So it was you."
Seeing the large and small packages Ling Qi was carrying, she sat up abruptly.
"My mother is at my third brother's house." Perhaps afraid that Ling Qi might not have heard clearly, Zhao Laoda added:
“My third brother bought houses in Baiyang and Huaiyuan. My mother lives with him so that it will be convenient for her to take care of the two children.”
Because she had a new granddaughter, Ms. Xu had already resigned from her business at the Baiyang Wonton Shop last year.
"My mother-in-law is enjoying her retirement outside, young man," said Sister-in-law Zhao, reaching for the bags in Ling Qi's hands.
But her own husband slapped her wrist.
"Get back inside!"
"I can't live like this anymore, I can't live like this anymore..." Sister-in-law Zhao started wailing again. In any case, she wanted to vent all the resentment she had accumulated over the past year on Zhao Laoda.
Soon, a crowd of onlookers gathered at the courtyard gate.
Since they were all neighbors, the villagers began to try to reconcile them.
For the past year, the couple has been arguing every two days and every three days, and the villagers have long been used to it.
After Ling Qi learned what had happened, he turned to leave.
But just as he turned around, he saw a coachman slowly driving the carriage towards him in the distance.
Zhao Laoda suddenly heard the sound of a carriage.
She turned her head and saw that her mother had returned.
Upon seeing Xu, Zhao's sister-in-law wailed even louder.
"Mother, your son wants to divorce me! You must stand up for me..."
Without even asking, Madam Xu knew that it must be her eldest daughter-in-law causing trouble again.
Seriously, she's embarrassed herself again.
She looked around at her neighbors with a sheepish expression.
"I'm sorry for making this a laughing stock. Everyone, please disperse."
Everyone left.
At this point, Sister-in-law Zhao was still relentlessly pursuing the matter.
Old Zhao couldn't control it, so he simply stopped caring and walked towards the carriage.
"Mother, why are you only coming back now?"
