That day, Qi Zhifang wore a bright red wool sweater, black trousers, a long, fitted black wool coat, and black leather shoes. She had her hair permed and dressed like a female spy. Oh, and she also wore leather gloves and carried a leather bag. It was quite an achievement for her to be able to buy this outfit; she was trying to stand out from the crowd!
Upon entering Xiao Hu's office, Xiao Hu's eyes lit up, and his old face beamed like a lump of dried plum. "You look so beautiful dressed up! I thought you were a goddess descended from the heavens!"
Qi Zhifang gave him a playful glare, then smiled like a chrysanthemum, her voice sweet enough to draw silk, "You're being indecent! Aren't you afraid someone will use this against you and make a mistake?" She even twirled around as she spoke, "But seriously, isn't this outfit beautiful? I think it looks amazing too, I couldn't resist buying it!" Xiao Hu nodded, the atmosphere became ambiguous, and with just the right number of people—a man and a woman—they embraced.
As they were flirting and Xiao Hu, his heart pounding, kissed Qi Zhifang on the cheek, "Bang!" The door was pushed open from the outside. Entering were Lin Huaihua, her two sons, a daughter, and her daughter-in-law. Upon seeing the two embracing, practically consumed by lust, she instantly became enraged, like Sun Wukong using the fake banana leaf fan. She screamed like a madwoman, "Xiao Hu, you bastard! Are you even human?! You're practically on your deathbed, almost a grandfather, and you're still having an affair! Have you no shame?"
Qi Zhifang's face flushed red with anger. "I've been a slut my whole life, and I finally have a legitimate relationship, and you dare to slander me!" she yelled back. "You're both divorced! We're together openly and honestly! Back when Lao Xiao was down on his luck, you ran away. Now that Xiao Hu is better, you're coming back with the child. Have you no shame?"
Seeing Qi Zhifang's lewd appearance, he was so angry that his head was spinning. He stepped forward to hit Qi Zhifang, and the scene became chaotic. He hysterically shouted, "Who are you calling shameless? You slutty vixen! I knew you were no good when you wrote those lewd letters to my man back then. You've been flirting for so many years, and no one wanted you. Now you're finally getting your hands on someone! You two adulterers, shameless! Shameless!"
And you heartless man, how could you say such things about me... Ah..." Xiao Hu quickly tried to stop her, but he didn't know his own strength and pushed Lin Huaihua to the ground in the struggle. Now his two sons and daughter were not happy and attacked together.
"Dad, you actually hit Mom for this vixen? Have you no conscience?"
"You shameless vixen, you seduced my dad! You're the one who stole my mom's job, aren't you? Shameless..."
"So you and this vixen were already having an affair. I'm no longer acknowledging you as my father..."
"Ah!..." Lin Huaihua scrambled up like a madwoman and scratched Xiao Hu's face several times! She cursed, "Do you have any conscience at all? Back then, for the safety of our family and children, we signed the divorce papers. You begged me to take care of your parents and the children. What did you promise me? Have you forgotten? For you, I've endured so much hardship all these years, practically burning myself out, and this is how you treat me!"
You're inhuman! You broke your promise! How could you treat me like this? We've been divorced but still living together all these years. I've taken care of your children and looked after your parents, and what have you done? You just got back and you're already hooking up with this slut! Is this how you treat me?
I earn so little each month, and I have to scrimp and save to find several people to pass things to you. And you? You're a wolf in sheep's clothing, arrogant and conceited once you've gained power! How could I have believed your lies! I regret it so much! I'm kicking myself..."
Xiao Hu grabbed Lin Huaihua's hand and roared, "Look at yourself! Calm down!"
Lin Huaihua's hand was grabbed, and she inadvertently turned around to glare fiercely at Qi Zhifang. The more she looked, the angrier she became. Could she afford this outfit for 18.5 yuan a month? And she even got a perm? She bit Xiao Hu hard, and while he was holding her, she went up to Qi Zhifang and started pulling her hair while spitting on her. She and her daughter and daughter-in-law pulled out more than half of Qi Zhifang's hair, and her face was scratched all over, bruised and swollen. Her clothes were also torn by these people.
While hitting and cursing, she said, "You shameless thing! How can you like other people's men so much? Aren't you shameless? Aren't you shameless! You're already flirting in your thirties, and you're almost fifty and you're still flirting!"
When Xiao Hu saw his precious little darling beaten like this, he flew into a rage and roared, "Stop it right now! Lin Huaihua, don't be unreasonable, I divorced you a long time ago!"
The eldest son punched him, his eyes red and his face streaked with tears, yelling, "You're not my father! You don't deserve to be called a human being! Mom divorced you back then to protect us, to protect Grandpa and Grandma. All these years, Mom has taken care of the whole family. When Grandpa and Grandma were seriously ill, Mom was the one who took care of them. When they passed away, Mom was the one who saw them off. Where are you, their son? There are three things that one cannot do in ancient times: three years of mourning, having a wife but nowhere to go, and going from poverty to wealth. You don't even have the most basic human decency! You don't recognize my mother, so do you not recognize Grandpa and Grandma either!"
Xiao Hu stood there with a gloomy face, staring intently at them! His heart felt like it was being crushed by a huge rock.
Lin Huaihua wiped away her tears and said, "Fine, you don't acknowledge me, but do your parents acknowledge their children? I've taken care of your parents all these years and helped your eldest son get married. I've already been drained dry. Now it's your turn to take care of your second son and daughter. I don't want anything more. You've already given me over 1,800 yuan. Can you please have some mercy and raise your daughter and son? They're your children!"
Xiao Hu opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. His second son snorted coldly, "What? You don't recognize my mother, you don't recognize my grandparents, and you don't even want to recognize us anymore?"
Xiao Hu, suppressing his anger, looked at Qi Zhifang and said, "Fangzi, give them the money! All you ever think about is money, money, money!"
Lin Huaihua glared fiercely at Qi Zhifang, who remained unmoved, crying as she said, "Why should I? If you asked for it politely, I wouldn't refuse, but look at them, they're ungrateful wretches! Even if you give them the money, they won't acknowledge you!"
