Chapter 987 The Man Has a Problem
"Second son's wife, why are you getting involved and causing trouble?"
Old Lady Tian was furious and wanted to vent her anger on Prince Luo and Lin Yuesha, but she couldn't find a reasonable excuse.
Thinking about the lavish feast she was being treated to at home, and how her best rice had been completely eaten, Old Lady Tian felt a tightness in her chest.
After all, the two were creditors, so Old Lady Tian had no choice but to sever ties with Tian Dali, fearing that she would be implicated.
At this critical juncture, the whole family should work together. With Tianwazi stirring up trouble, Grandma Tian didn't care. Anyway, this kid could eat a lot but was not likable, so out of sight, out of mind.
The eldest son, Tian Daguang, has six sons, so Grandma Tian has no shortage of grandchildren.
"What's going on at Old Man Tian's house? Tian Dali was taken away to pay off his debts, so why is Tian Dalei's wife stepping forward?"
The villagers watching were talking amongst themselves, some with ulterior motives, suspecting that Tian Dali and his second sister-in-law had some kind of special relationship.
"That can't be right. Tian Dali joined the army a long time ago, and after he came back, he was chased away by Old Lady Tian and lived in the mountains for two years."
Random speculation would damage Zhao's reputation, so a woman who was on good terms with her spoke up for her.
"Hehe, then you only know one side of the story, not the other."
The neighbors of Old Lady Tian couldn't hold back any longer and said to the villagers who were watching, "Tian Dalei's wife lives worse than an animal in the Tian family. She has to serve the whole family by herself. Tian Dalei is a scoundrel. He not only doesn't care about Zhao Shi, but he also beats her and swears at her, calling her a slut."
Tian Dalei verbally humiliated Zhao, as if the two had married after the deed was done, and that Zhao had lost her innocence and was now inferior to him.
Furthermore, Zhao had no children and was constantly scolded by Old Lady Tian as a barren hen.
"Second sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?"
After dealing with Tian Wazi, Tian Daguang's wife wasn't upset at all. Instead, her eyes lit up as she looked at Zhao Shi like a searchlight, then at Tian Dali with an ambiguous expression.
I didn't realize that Zhao Shi, who seems so virtuous, is actually not a virtuous woman.
She had seen Zhao give food to Tian Dali before, so it was possible that the two had been having an affair.
"Grandma Tian, I want a divorce from Tian Dalei."
It wasn't a divorce, but a separation, Zhao said, emphasizing each word.
Having been humiliated in public, Old Mrs. Tian trembled with anger and roared, "Zhao, you barren hen! You've been married to the second son for years without a child. It's only because my Tian family is kind that we can tolerate you. Where else do you think you can find a place to live?"
There's no way they can get a divorce. At most, Tian Dalei will divorce Zhao and kick her out of the house.
However, Old Mrs. Tian did not want Zhao to leave the Tian family; she had her own principles.
The eldest son's wife is lazy and greedy, she can't get enough of anything and is useless at everything. The fourth son's wife is spoiled and dresses like a peacock in the village.
Unfortunately, the fourth son's wife was the village chief's daughter, and the family was considered to have married above their station, so Old Lady Tian dared not ask her to do any work.
Looking around, only Zhao was diligent, hardworking, and had excellent cooking skills.
If it weren't for Zhao's cooking skills, Old Lady Tian would have divorced him long ago; she wouldn't have waited until today.
“Zhao, you were never a virgin before you married into this family. If it weren’t for my husband Da Lei’s kind nature…”
In her haste, Old Lady Tian blurted out whatever came to mind, and Old Man Tian, who was standing nearby, tried to stop her, but it was too late.
Now, all the villagers who were watching heard it.
Old Man Tian kicked Old Woman Tian to the ground. This was a family scandal. If Zhao's shameful deeds were spread, his son would be the one laughed at!
Why did you kick me? Can't I even tell the truth?
Grandma Tian was stunned. It took her a long time to get up from the ground, slapping her bottom and cursing.
She wouldn't let it go, which made Old Man Tian's temples bulge with veins, his fists clenched, wishing he could die together with his incompetent partner, Old Lady Tian.
Despite being pointed at and whispered about by the crowd, Zhao remained expressionless; she had had enough.
It is true that she lost her virginity and married into the Tian family.
After Zhao spoke, the villagers were immediately shocked, and no one responded for a long time.
"As you probably know, my family used to own a shop. After my parents passed away, I was left all alone, all alone."
Although the Zhao family had fallen on hard times, she was still able to make a living thanks to her skills.
Back when her parents were in business, they made friends with several kind and honest merchants, and Zhao went to help out in the kitchen of one of them.
During the off-season for farming, Tian Dalei also went to help move things for the restaurant, and that's how he met Zhao.
Since the two were not very familiar with each other, Tian Dalei, while drunk, forced himself on her.
Zhao had no parents and few relatives, so she panicked.
After Tian Dalei sobered up, he took the initiative to admit his mistake and asked a matchmaker to propose marriage. Zhao had no choice but to marry into the Tian family.
Over the years, Zhao had seen through the ruthless family, but she was limited in ability, had no sons and no status, and could never hold her head high.
A while ago, Zhao went to the city to get medicine from a pharmacy and met an old doctor. The old doctor took her pulse and said that her pulse was fine.
As for the fact that the woman hasn't conceived after several years of marriage, it's not necessarily the woman's fault; some men might have the problem, but they just won't admit it.
Haha, who exactly is the hen that doesn't lay eggs?
Feeling extremely ironic, Zhao decided to divorce Tian Dalei.
She had originally been looking for an opportunity to make a big scene, but now that the opportunity was right in front of her, she didn't want to wait any longer.
"Miss Lin, may I come and work at the shipyard?"
Zhao's culinary skills were recognized by Lin Yuesha, and she was confident that she didn't want wages, she just wanted a place to stay.
After the divorce, Zhao could only live in the town and still work at her parents' old friend's house. She was worried that the Tian family and their scoundrels would cause trouble and affect other people's business.
If they went to the shipyard, with so many people there and the city guards patrolling, the Zhao family wouldn't be afraid of the Tian family causing trouble at all.
As for the last minor reason, Zhao couldn't say, but she had feelings for Tian Dali.
Even if it means utter destruction and being shattered to pieces, she will not regret taking this step.
"Can."
Lin Yuesha nodded to Zhao, affirming her actions.
Women who are oppressed and submissive receive no respect and are instead exploited even more ruthlessly.
Zhao was shrewd; she guessed that the divorce had been brewing for a while, and she seized the opportunity.
"No way!"
Old Mrs. Tian plopped down on the doorstep. She was in charge, and she wouldn't let Zhao Shi leave, absolutely not!
"Uncle, it's getting late, let's head back."
What Old Madam Tian thought was not within Lin Yuesha's consideration. She was too lazy to waste words with the Tian family and directly notified the garrison to send someone.
If the Tian family dares to cause trouble, they will be sent to jail.
Lin Yuesha acted swiftly and decisively, while Zhao Shi and Tian Wazi packed their belongings, and the group left under the cover of night.
Two hours later, we arrived at the seaside fishing village.
It was already late at night, but the area around the shipyard was still brightly lit.
"We'll build the house first, and they'll work day and night in shifts just to finish it as soon as possible."
Lin Yuesha told Tian Dali that she would arrange for the person to stay at Lu the carpenter's house for the night, and then arrange for the person to move in tomorrow morning.
As for Zhao, she could only stay at Zhang Daya's house temporarily.
