Madam Chang looked at him coldly. She helped Chang Xiao up from his knees, slowly stood up, looked at Chang An, and asked, "Do you disagree with my divorce, or do you disagree with me taking the child?"
Chang An was speechless for a moment, thinking that it was probably both.
In the past, every time he came home, he would be served hot food and soup, but this time his wife argued with him, so he had to go hungry.
But how could a grown man like him say in front of so many people that he couldn't bear to part with his wife?
He could only grit his teeth and say, "Xiao'er is my son."
Madam Chang sneered, "Since you are unwilling to divorce, then write a letter of divorce."
Xiao'er is all grown up now, why don't you write another document for the division of the family property?
We don't want anything from you, we just want you to return our freedom.
Spare our lives.
Chang An: "......" Why does my wife seem even angrier?
He said he wouldn't divorce her, so why is she still clinging to him?
"I'm already so old, what kind of talk is this, getting a divorce?" he said stiffly, his heart filled with unease.
Actually, he just couldn't bear to part with his wife.
Brat, if you want to leave, then leave. You can have another one later. He's not afraid of being left alone in his old age.
Chang An felt the world had opened up before him. He looked coldly at Chang Xiao and said, "Since you refuse to stay at home, then you shall be separated from us."
Chang Xiao's heart turned cold. "Did Father never think of seeking justice for his son from beginning to end?"
The son didn't ask for her life in exchange for another; he only wanted her to admit her mistakes, kneel down and apologize, and suffer a little more.
He had endured enough for his mother and father.
Chang An shook his head. "Your great-grandmother threatened to kill herself, what could I do?"
What do you want me to do?
Those were the elders who raised her; what could he do?
Are you going to watch her starve to death?
He can't do it.
"Since you can't do anything to her, can't you at least give us our freedom?"
Why do you keep us imprisoned and refuse to avenge us?
"So many years have passed, she's lived so long, and we've all done it all for your sake, Father!"
Chang Xiao's last cry of "Father" was filled with sorrow and sobs.
Is my cousin really more important than their whole family?
She's just an outsider, a woman who doesn't have the surname Chang. Why can't we let her suffer a little?
He wouldn't dare let her die; he'd just let her suffer a little.
Why doesn't it work either?
Seeing her son like this, Chang An was heartbroken. "Xiao'er."
"Don't call me that. You are not worthy to be my father or my mother's husband."
You've been stationed at the border for years, and your mother worries about you every day, but she also has to endure your great-grandmother's harassment.
Just for my cousin.
She should be our master. If she tells us to die, we should die without any resistance.
At worst, they can just send us a box of jewelry.
But who cares about those jewels?
All I want is for my child to be healthy and well. He's... still so young!
He cried his heart out.
Madam Chang could no longer hold back. She shielded her son and daughter-in-law behind her, looked coldly at Chang An, and said, "You don't agree to a divorce, do you?"
Her expression was cold, and Chang An couldn't help but feel a little scared. "Yes."
He couldn't live without her; they had been married for twenty years.
"What about divorcing your wife? You don't agree to that either?"
Her expression grew even colder, and Chang An said somewhat irritably, "I will not agree. I will go and talk to my grandmother."
We are family; no misunderstanding is insurmountable.
His cousin was just an outsider, and he believed that his grandmother would not abandon her great-grandson for his cousin's sake.
