Yue Laiwu was quite embarrassed by what he was being told; he knew he had made an outrageous demand.
But we can't just stand by and watch Erlang's family get separated; that would be even worse.
"Sigh, I know it's not fair to make these demands."
But there's nothing we can do about it. Erlang is capable and talented; the family is counting on him.
If he separates from the family and goes his own way, our whole family will have no way to survive.
Not afraid of being laughed at by her mother-in-law,
Of my sons, only Erlang is truly successful. The others are so stupid, I'm almost embarrassed to admit it.
I would truly be reluctant to separate my second son's family from the family.
The saying "A shameless person is invincible" perfectly describes someone like Yue Laiwu.
For the sake of profit, they'll abandon all pretense of dignity and face. They're openly admitting their shortcomings; they're not afraid of what you might say.
"Heh, so it seems you're planning to have Erlang divorce my daughter?"
It was Zhao Rugeng who spoke first.
He really didn't want to continue arguing with this jerk.
Yue Laiwu shook his head again after hearing this.
"We were living a good life together, why do we have to get a divorce?"
If they were to divorce because his grandmother hit her grandson a few times, wouldn't that be turning a small matter into a big one?
"Every child gets a beating; isn't that how it is?"
The implication is that your Zhao family's daughter is pretentious.
Zhao Rugeng nodded.
That makes sense.
"Eldest and second eldest, bring the men of the Zhao family and show your little sister's uncles and cousins what real sparring is all about."
The Zhao brothers, Qing Tong and Qing Tie, had been itching to get started and were just waiting for their father's order.
He rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Brothers, let's go!"
Half an hour later, none of the Yue family's male members, except for Yue Laiwu and those under 1.5 meters tall, survived.
They were all lying on the ground, crying and wailing.
On the women's side, Yue Jiangshi and her wives, seeing their husbands (sons/grandsons) being beaten, naturally wanted to step forward to help.
However, just as they rushed forward, they were stopped by a whip.
Immediately, they saw Zhao Qinghe standing in front of them, followed by a man who was obviously rich and powerful.
They are truly a feast for the eyes.
After the initial shock, the women were astonished.
Yue Sanlang's wife actually had a flushed face, and blushed shyly.
Before this life, she thought Yue Erlang was the most handsome man she had ever seen, but now she has seen a man who is even more handsome than Yue Erlang.
That infatuated girl's heart was pounding.
Luckily, he's young; if he were older, he might have died instantly from a rapid heartbeat.
After the children and grandchildren were beaten,
Yue Laiwu dared not make any more small moves, and even wanted his second son to divorce Zhao Fangzhi.
This in-law is absolutely terrifying.
But now that he's saying he agrees to a divorce, the Zhao family disagrees.
Zhao Rugeng is right.
“When our Zhao family proposed a divorce, you disagreed and were unwilling to return my daughter’s dowry.”
When you proposed dividing the family property, you drove people to the brink of suicide.
Why do you get to decide all the good things just by saying it?
Now I have a third idea.
Since your whole family dislikes my son-in-law, and the villagers suspect that Erlang is not your wife's biological son.
To avoid future trouble, your family should sever ties with Erlang; it'll be cleaner that way.
To prevent Erlang's biological parents from finding out later,
Now that I know your family mistreated Erlang, I'm sending your whole family to jail.
