Chapter 187
Xu Tao's face froze.
Thinking of the baby in Tang Qiu's belly, her heart softened and she no longer wanted to argue with Zhang Manqin.
His Qiuqiu deserved the best. Keeping these children would not only cause trouble for Qiuqiu, but also make the family restless...
Under the threat of Zhang Manqin's refusal to give in, as well as the Xu family's concern for Tang Qiu, even though Mrs. Xu cursed at them, Old Man Xu and Xu Tao were furious, they still divorced according to Zhang Manqin's wishes.
In addition, Xu Lingling would also have to give Zhang Manqin 500 yuan for taking over the job.
Xu Lingling was furious at that time.
They made a fuss for a long time, asking for compensation. However, Zhang Manqin refused to give in and said that if she didn't get the compensation, she would go to the dance team to make trouble. Even if she didn't come back to work, she would make Xu Lingling's job fail.
Xu Lingling was frightened. She knew very well that Zhang Manqin's connections in the dance team could really make her do this...
The Xu family paid out 1,500 yuan, which was almost half of their savings. Old Mrs. Xu almost had a stroke from lack of energy.
The divorce procedure was completed that afternoon, and Zhang Lin and others accompanied Zhang Manqin to pack her things.
Although they haven't arranged accommodation yet, sisters Maggie Cheung and Jiaojiao Hsu don't want to see the two of them again.
When packing the luggage, Old Mrs. Xu was still yelling, saying that this was also her house, and that Zhang Manqin asked her for money to buy the clothes, and she was not allowed to take it away.
Zhang Manqin was so angry that she slapped her in the face.
"Oh, the unfilial daughter-in-law hit her mother-in-law!"
Old Mrs. Xu screamed in agony.
Zhang Wan looked at Mrs. Xu with a smile, "She's divorced, so she's not your daughter-in-law anymore."
"That's right. He was just an old man without moral integrity. He beat me, so that's all. It has nothing to do with being unfilial."
Qin Chengfeng nodded solemnly.
Old Mrs. Xu felt as if someone had pinched her throat. She almost fainted with her eyes bulging in the middle of her howling.
Everyone in this family is sharp-tongued. Her daughter-in-law used to pretend to be nice, but now she has changed.
Although she has no place to live for the time being, it does not prevent Maggie Cheung from moving out everything that belongs to her.
After the group of people left, almost half of the Xu family's house was emptied. Even the silver bracelet on the old lady's hand was taken off by Zhang Manqin.
This was her dowry. Although it was made of silver, it was very precious and an old item.
Although it was not the most valuable item in her trousseau, fortunately she was still a little cautious and kept the most important box well hidden in the locked trousseau.
Even when the old lady shamelessly came into the room and looked through it, but couldn't open it, and asked Zhang Manqin to open it for her, she refused.
Zhang Manqin refused on the grounds that the items were her daughter's family's personal belongings, and then moved them to another place for storage.
They moved to this house after they got married, and it was Zhang Manqin who cleaned and tidied the house. She was familiar with all the rooms and had prepared several corners for hiding things.
Otherwise, this little dowry would be taken away by Old Mrs. Xu.
All the things were moved to the small yard of Zhang Manqin's friend.
On that day, Zhang Manqin prepared a table full of delicious dishes and invited friends, couples and children to have dinner together.
Zhang Manqin’s friend is the deputy director of the Women’s Federation. She was once the leader of the dance team and was later promoted.
Because Maggie Cheung has always had a good temperament, good conversation and good literary skills, she is very respected in the unit.
When Yu Xiaoxiao and her family entered the yard, they smelled a strong fragrance and couldn't help swallowing.
Oh my god, her little sister doesn’t have such good cooking skills.
They have known each other for more than ten years, doesn't she know it?
"Sister Yu, Brother Gu, please bring the children to the table and prepare to eat."
Zhang Manqin smiled and took Yu Xiaoxiao's hand, took out two handfuls of candy and gave them to their grandchildren.
“This craft…”
Yu Xiaoxiao and her husband were surprised to see the table full of delicious dishes, which were both tasty and beautiful.
"This is my eldest brother's daughter and son, and this is my future nephew's wife!"
Zhang Manqin looked at Qin Chengfeng and Zhang Wan, who were wearing aprons, and Zhang Lin, who was serving the dishes, and introduced them.
"Hey, you're a good boy!"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the chef Qin Chengfeng with a satisfied expression on her face.
He is handsome and has a dignified bearing. It is obvious that he is not from an ordinary family. He even wears an apron while cooking. It is simply perfect!
What a pity...Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Wan, who was equally outstanding, and sighed.
Manqin's future nephew's wife is also very good. It seems that her little daughter has no chance.
If he wasn't engaged, she would really like to make such an outstanding young man her future son-in-law.
"Okay, Manqin, your family has a good eye. Where can you find such an excellent daughter-in-law?"
Yu Xiaoxiao was amazed.
It would be nice for Zhang Wan to be her daughter-in-law.
Alas, what a pity.
Thinking of the big and strong daughter-in-law at home, Yu Xiaoxiao felt depressed.
Her eldest son went to the countryside to do some work. He jumped into the water to help an old man who fell into the water. The old man hugged him tightly and they both nearly died.
As a result, the daughter-in-law, who was washing clothes by the river, jumped in.
Uh... Although the girl is a little ugly, her elbows are thicker than anyone else in their family, her thighs are bigger than a bear's, and her facial features are not familiar.
Men and women should not touch each other, and the eldest son has always felt guilty because he missed the last time he saw his father-in-law in order to save his son.
There was no way. The girl whose cries were like wolves howling, whose stomping was like earthquakes, whose grins were like idiots, had become the little ancestor of their family...
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pull Zhang Manqin aside to complain a few words.
Zhang Manqin smiled but said nothing.
Don’t think that Yu Xiaoxiao’s complaints seem serious, in fact, the intimacy in her tone is so intimate that she almost treats her daughter-in-law as her own daughter.
There is a difference between giving up and being disappointed in someone.
"Okay, what nonsense are you talking about in front of so many children?"
Yu Xiaoxiao's husband Gu Baoguo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
It was obvious that his wife didn't dislike her daughter-in-law, but she just couldn't stand the fact that she was so stupid every day and would help others count money after being sold. She nagged her every day for no reason, and they were fed up with it.
Every time I go out, I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law will be cheated, so I follow her wherever she goes. As a result, my daughter-in-law has been married for almost five years, but she is still as silly as a child and has not learned any wisdom after living in the city.
Zhang Wan and others listened with a smile, saying that such a relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very rare.
Compared with those mothers-in-law who say they will treat their daughters-in-law as daughters but are actually angry and resentful.
Even though Yu Xiaoxiao kept complaining about her, she still loved her as if she were her own daughter.
He says one thing but does another.
"Eat, eat."
Zhang Manqin picked up a piece of food for Yu Xiaoxiao with her chopsticks before she stopped complaining.
"Manqin, what are your plans for the future?"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Manqin with some worry.
Although Zhang Manqin is almost ten years younger than her, she will be forty in a few months. She is divorced at this age and still has no family.
Apart from anything else, it will be difficult for the two daughters to get married in the future.
"You can just live in this house and treat it as your own home."
Yu Xiaoxiao's words deeply moved Zhang Manqin.
But it is impossible to stay there for a long time. Yu Xiaoxiao doesn't care, and she is not so shameless.
