Chapter 26 It's All Her Fault
"Sister-in-law, what you said seems to make the beads on your abacus stretch further apart, right?"
Gao Xiaoxiao is not a pushover. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Yan Fang quickly stopped them and said:
"Stop arguing. Xizhi needs this money back. When the time comes, each of you can use 200,000 yuan to pay off your mortgage or buy a house. The remaining 100,000 yuan will be left to Xizhi. She's a newly divorced woman, so how can she be without some money?"
Gao Xiaoxiao: "Mom, this is a good idea. It's more fair and just. However, my sister is alone. She lives at home and eats and drinks at home. She can't spend much money. One hundred thousand yuan is too much for her. It's better to give it to my parents. After all, my parents raised me. Isn't it a way to repay my parents' kindness when I have money?"
Old people are always partial to the young. When the money reaches my parents-in-law, I will ask my boyfriend to appease his parents, and then the 100,000 yuan will be in my hands.
Yao Jianlin: "Xiaoxiao is right. She has to repay the Yao family for raising her."
Yao Jianshe: "Yes, if my family hadn't taken Xizhi in, my uncle would have wanted to sell her. If she had been sold to the mountains, she would have been a reproductive machine for the rest of her life. Xizhi must repay this kindness."
Zhu Hongrui: "Indeed, the grace of raising a child is greater than heaven."
Xizhi stood at the bedroom door, listening to the not-so-oppressive conversation coming from the kitchen, feeling sad.
At this time her cell phone rang.
Seeing Huo Yanting's voice invitation, she closed the door and clicked to answer.
"Mr. Huo?"
"Well, what are you doing?"
"I'm at my mom's house. I came over to check on you today. Is it midnight over there? Is there something wrong with you calling so late?"
Xizhi knew that there was a time difference between her place and other countries. When it was daytime here, it was either midnight or early morning over there.
He called me so late, what was going on? Did he have a romantic encounter abroad and want to take back the million he gave me?
Okay, I can’t bear to part with it!
"Night?"
"We have a time difference!"
Huo Yanting: "Well, one hour. I'm in Singapore now. I was about to have dinner when I suddenly thought of your divorce. My lawyer will come to the hotel tomorrow morning to find you and understand the situation and help you with the divorce."
Yan Xizhi: ...
She never thought that a man who was so busy with his work would still remember her divorce.
This was the first time in a while that Xizhi felt the warmth given by someone else, although he had a purpose.
The purpose is to avoid having the bad reputation of being a mistress.
Even so, Xizhi was very happy and grateful.
"I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau yesterday and signed an agreement with him. After the cooling-off period, we can get the marriage certificate. However, I don't think he will be quick to divide the property. It will take some time to tear it apart."
"Let's go through with the lawsuit. We'll get the money and divorce within a week at the latest."
The man spoke briefly and to the point, finalizing her divorce with just one sentence.
"Really? From what I understand, divorce litigation involves procedures, queues, and a lot of complicated processes."
"So the lawyer I'll arrange for you will help you get it done within a week at the latest. Believe me, Strict Lawyer can do it."
She didn't know why, but she believed everything the man she had only met twice said. Perhaps it was his wealthy or noble status that made her feel at ease.
"Okay, I'll go back tonight and wait for Lawyer Yan in the room tomorrow."
"Um."
"Mr. Huo, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Uh... he really speaks very little and is very frugal with his words.
"Well...I wish you good luck with your work. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Xizhi patted his chest. There was a lot of noise outside, as if it was time for dinner.
She had only eaten a sandwich for lunch and was already hungry.
When I pushed open the door and went out, the dining tables outside were already full of people, and they had started eating.
I received a phone call, but within three minutes, no one invited me to dinner.
"Xizhi, you're awake. Come and have dinner."
"Um."
However, the table was packed and there was no place for her.
Xizhi stood by the table and saw that the pork elbow she bought had been torn into pieces. There were sixteen hairy crabs in total, with two in each person's bowl, and only a few crab legs were left on the plate.
"Zhuangzhuang, get up and sit in your mother's arms. Make room for your aunt."
Zhuangzhuang held a large piece of pork elbow skin in his mouth and refused vaguely:
"I don't want to. I'm grown up and I want to sit on the stool by myself."
"You child, why are you so ignorant? Hurry up and get up to give your aunt a seat. Otherwise, your aunt won't bring you any delicious food next time."
Yan Xizhi: ...
"No, I don't want it. My aunt won't buy it for me, so my grandma will. Grandma, let me eat one of your hairy crabs. You have two."
Yao Jianlin: "Don't you have two too? Why do you want grandma's?"
Zhuangzhuang: "I want it, I want it! I want to give it to my mom. She works so hard every day."
Zhu Hongrui smiled brightly: "You are really my good son. Your love for you is not in vain."
Gao Xiaoxiao: "Yes, sister-in-law, you love your son for a reason, but grandma loves this grandson for a reason. He is such an ungrateful little wolf."
Although the last sentence was spoken softly, everyone still heard it.
Zhu Hongrui immediately turned hostile.
"Who are you calling an ungrateful person? Gao Xiaoxiao, don't go too far. My son is a filial and sensible child who is filial to his mother. How can you call him an ungrateful person? How can he be called an ungrateful person? You call a five-year-old child an ungrateful person just because he is filial to his mother. Aren't you too uncultured?"
How did your parents raise you? Do you have any morals? You say such vicious words to a five-year-old child. Aren't you afraid that your child will be born without an anus?
"Sister-in-law, you're going too far! Zhuangzhuang is indeed selfish. He's being filial to you, but he's doing it at the expense of his beloved grandmother. Xiaoxiao calling him an ungrateful person is a bit harsh, but is she wrong? Xiaoxiao is just straightforward and just said the truth. You can be defensive, but you shouldn't curse our child!"
Sister-in-law, you really don't act like an elder at all!"
Yao Jianlin couldn't bear to hear his fiancée being scolded by his sister-in-law, not to mention cursing their child. He simply couldn't stand it.
"Jianlin, what qualifications do you have to criticize your sister-in-law? Where's your upbringing?"
Yao Jianshe couldn't bear to hear his wife being scolded, so he acted like an elder brother and criticized her.
Gao Xiaoxiao: "Brother, is it considered polite for sister-in-law to scold us for giving birth to a child without anus? I know sister-in-law has always disliked me. I just told the truth and she cursed me like this. I dare not enter this family. Yao Jianlin, I dare not marry you. Who knows what kind of torture I will have to endure from brother and sister-in-law once I enter the house?"
"Zhu Hongrui, apologize to Xiaoxiao!"
Yao Jianlin dragged Gao Xiaoxiao, who was about to leave with red eyes, and yelled at Zhu Hongrui.
"Yao Jianlin, I think you're going crazy, yelling at your sister-in-law."
"Apologize! I want you to fucking apologize to Xiaoxiao. If you don't apologize today, I'll never let you go!"
"Hey, what are you all arguing about? It's just a hairy crab, is there any need to make such a fuss? You're almost going to blow the roof off your head. Just sit down and eat your meal properly, and say less. What are you arguing about?"
Yan Fang tried to smooth things over, but it didn't work at all.
Yao Jianlin: "Mom, did you hear what my sister-in-law said? She cursed our child to have no butthole."
Zhu Hongrui: "Wasn't it Gao Xiaoxiao who called my son an ungrateful wolf first?"
Gao Xiaoxiao: "Was it wrong for me to curse?"
Zhu Hongrui: "Then I was right to scold you!"
"Alright, both of you, stop arguing. It's all the crabs' fault, Xizhi. Why did you buy crabs for no reason? Look at the mess we're in. If it weren't for those crabs, there wouldn't be this quarrel!"
Yan Xizhi: ...
