Chapter 425 The Joy of Divorce 1 Then listen to me and divorce first
People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Even though the relatives of the old Yang family were still filled with righteous indignation and even said they wanted to kill Qu Zhen, they quieted down as soon as Tang Fengyuan and Yao Zhizhi arrived.
The ugly man-eating face disappeared, replaced by a hypocritical performance of crying wolf.
They said that Qu Zhen couldn't have children and refused to divorce. When the divorce was mentioned, she went to her in-laws' workplace to make a scene, causing the Yang family's precious son to still be childless.
They also said that Qu Zhen was occupying the toilet but not doing anything, but was acting arrogantly at home and having affairs outside, which really brought shame to the Yang family.
Yao Zhizhi just watched their performance with an expressionless face, with the diligent reporting voice of the system in her head, which was comparable to the dual-core processors of later generations.
She soon figured out the situation of this group of actors.
In short, no one in the family is clean, no wonder they raised such a son.
No wonder their daughter-in-law refused to divorce, and they had no way to deal with it - Qu Zhen was holding her ties.
So Yao Zhizhi said calmly, "Qu Yao, go ask your sister if she has anything to say."
Qu Yao understood and quickly let go of Yao Zhizhi, ran to her elder sister, took her arm, tiptoed over and whispered something in her ear.
Qu Zhen was obviously unwilling to get divorced like this. Even if she had cheated, it was just the bastard's fault that she had cheated on him for the fifteenth day. It was no big deal.
Besides, this bastard has made it so that she will never have her own child. Why should she divorce him and make room for his mistress?
She just won’t!
Qu Yao was anxious, so she had to pull Qu Zhen to the corner next to T to talk in private.
Yao Zhizhi took the opportunity to pretend she didn't know anything and started chatting with Yang's mother: "Auntie, I heard you work at the Binjiang Subdistrict Office. Is this the public housing they allocated to you?"
Yang's mother is just an ordinary auntie from the street office. How could she get such a good house?
So she raised her head proudly and boasted, "How could I have that ability? This is all thanks to my son. He's a cadre at the agricultural machinery factory. This is the cadre housing, big and spacious. Look, our whole family has moved in."
Yao Zhizhi was speechless. It wasn't like this old woman was unemployed, nor could she get a public housing unit. Why did she have to squeeze in with her son and daughter-in-law for a share?
Maybe the quarrel and fight between that bastard and Qu Zhen was instigated by this mother-in-law.
Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but frown. "Oh? Isn't Uncle Yang an accountant in the finance department? Didn't the agency allocate him a more spacious house?"
It would have been fine if this matter hadn't been mentioned. The moment it was brought up, Yang's mother became anxious, her face turning red and white, and she bit her tongue as she spoke. She said in a rage, "Or maybe it's just that people's hearts have changed! A few years ago, an accountant from a rural commune was transferred here, and he was always nitpicking, finding fault with everything. Not only did he target Old Yang at every turn, he even threw dirty water on him, accusing him of falsifying accounts and embezzling public funds. He forced Old Yang to move out of the office dormitory with nothing in his hands to prove his innocence."
Yao Zhizhi raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? A country bumpkin is so good at stirring up trouble? Didn't you complain to the leadership?"
"I've looked for it, but it's no use." Mother Yang wanted to say something, but Father Yang quickly pulled her arm, and Mother Yang stopped herself from talking too much in time, as she almost caused trouble.
What she actually wanted to say was that the man had a powerful relative, and that relative also had a powerful family of origin and in-laws. For the sake of that relative's face, the head of the agency would not dare to not protect him!
But she didn't need to say it, Yao Zhizhi already knew it clearly in her mind, because the little noisy system had already said that it was because of Yang's father's lack of ability that caused big problems in the agency's accounts, causing strong dissatisfaction among the leaders, so the leaders promoted a young man from the rural commune.
As for why the leaders did not directly kick Lao Yang out of the public service, it was actually simple. Lao Yang's brother-in-law was a soldier, so in the end they just asked Lao Yang to pay the money to fill the gap.
This resulted in a situation where problematic financial personnel were living under the same roof with newly transferred young people.
And this young man is none other than Yao Mengmeng’s husband Liu Hongwei.
Or so it is, this world is really small.
It's really ridiculous that Yao Zhizhi became Liu Hongwei's "official protection talisman" without her knowledge.
However, this matter should be a fabricated statement made by the Yang family in order to save face.
Therefore, Yao Zhizhi's current attitude towards Liu Hongwei is to presume he is innocent.
As for whether Liu Hongwei was bullying others, she would have to wait for her to find Yao Taotao to verify it.
Even though Yao Mengmeng is very attached to Yao Zhizhi, and even though Yao Mengmeng has been as obedient as a docile kitten over the years, when it comes to issues concerning the common interests of the couple, Yao Zhizhi's trust in Yao Mengmeng is still discounted - after all, a woman who is in love might really give up her principles for the sake of her children and her man.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to ask Yao Taotao about this matter. As someone who cut ties with her parents as soon as she learned that they had committed a crime, her position and attitude are trustworthy.
Yao Zhizhi feigned ignorance and calmly replied, "It's no use asking the leader? Is that possible? Is it because Uncle Yang's skills are outdated? Sometimes it's good to learn from the young. Didn't Confucius say, 'Don't be ashamed to ask questions from those who are inferior to you?' There's nothing shameful in learning from the young."
Mother Yang didn't like to hear this. In her opinion, Yao Zhizhi was just pretending to be stupid. She didn't believe that Yao Zhizhi didn't know that Liu Hongwei and Lao Yang were in the same department, and she didn't believe that Yao Zhizhi came here just to accompany her mother-in-law.
But Father Yang had already given Mother Yang a warning look, so Mother Yang couldn't argue any more and could only smile awkwardly and say, "You're right, but Old Yang is old after all, and he's a slow learner. He needs to slowly get used to the younger people."
Yao Zhizhi didn't respond, but instead changed the subject: "This courtyard is spacious, with its own entrance and separate rooms. Your son isn't just an ordinary cadre, right? What does he do at the agricultural machinery factory?"
The question returned to her son, and Yang's mother perked up again. She boasted like a peacock spreading its tail, "You don't live here much, so it's normal that you didn't know. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but no matter how high my son's position is, he can't compare to Director Tang, right? But my son is still young, only in his thirties, and he's already a workshop director. With time, he might achieve as much as Director Tang."
Yao Zhizhi laughed in her heart. The old saying was indeed true. What determines how far a family can go is often not the most capable one, but the most incompetent and short-sighted one.
Just from these few words from Yang's mother, we can tell what kind of trash a man who beats his pregnant wife is.
However, Yao Zhizhi still said modestly: "That's right, as long as there are no problems with work style, everything is possible."
Mother Yang quickly patted her chest to assure him, "No, no, absolutely not! My son is just too honest, otherwise, how could he be ridden on by his woman and have his shit done to him? This dishonest guy has been fooling around with a wild man for who knows how long before he was discovered. It's such a misfortune for our family, such a misfortune for our family!"
Yao Zhizhi was most annoyed by this kind of innocent-feigning rubbish. Her patience was about to run out. She glanced at the two sisters arguing in the corner and, to buy them some time, continued to perfunctorily say, "Auntie, calm down. Aren't my mom and I here to help you deal with the problem? Don't worry. Back when my mom was a police officer, she never shielded anyone who made a mistake. As long as the matter was verified, she would definitely give everyone justice."
It's ridiculous that Yang's mother couldn't hear the hidden meaning in these words at all. She thought that Yao Zhizhi's so-called verification was just to verify that Qu Zhen had cheated on her. She thought that Yao Zhizhi's so-called justice for everyone was actually justice for her son.
So Yang's mother became proud again. She put her hands on her hips, twisted her neck, and spat at Qu Zhen in the corner. She looked so ferocious. If she didn't have an older brother who was a soldier, who would give her face?
Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh. Poor short-sighted old woman, didn't she know that her son's bad reputation had already spread all over the place?
But there’s no rush, let’s wait until the Qu sisters come.
However, Yao Zhizhi continued to perfunctorily deal with it for a long time, but the two sisters still seemed to be arguing. Yao Zhizhi had no choice but to say something to her mother-in-law, got up and walked to the corner.
As for the vortex of right and wrong behind her, let her mother-in-law deal with it.
Yao Zhizhi took a few steps closer and looked at Qu Zhen carefully. She was indeed good-looking. Otherwise, a family like the Yang family might not be willing to marry the daughter of an ordinary working-class family.
Perhaps once upon a time, this couple was in love, but unfortunately, they were not a good match.
He was defeated by her because she provided blood to her mother's family, and she was defeated by his soft-heartedness and his willingness to listen to the instigation of his elders.
So the minor quarrels escalated into fistfights and kicks, and eventually the fruit of their short-lived love was killed.
No wonder Qu Zhen doesn't want to divorce. Who can swallow this?
Yao Zhizhi held down the anxious Qu Yao and looked at Qu Zhen calmly. She only asked one question: "Do you want to see the Yang family thrown into jail?"
The voice of this sentence was so low that Yao Zhizhi almost stuck close to Qu Zhen's ear, and Qu Zhen could hear it clearly.
She stood there in a daze, and for some reason, tears burst out uncontrollably.
She thought about it, of course she did, but after so many years, she didn't see any signs of the Yang family's decline. As long as her mother-in-law's brother was still alive, the leaders of the local agencies would have to give the Yang family some face.
She was like an egg hitting a rock. The only thing she could do was to weld herself to this position and prevent any woman from outside from taking her place with her child.
But……
She wiped her tears and looked at Yao Zhizhi in a daze. Would this woman, who had no relationship with her, really be willing to help her seek justice from the Yang family?
She's not sure.
But since her affair has been exposed and the situation has become a life-and-death struggle, I might as well give it a try.
So she nodded seriously: "I want to."
Yao Zhizhi smiled with relief: "Then listen to me and get a divorce first. As for how to divorce and how to write the agreement, just follow my instructions."
