Qian Ke looked at Mo Yan very seriously, "Mom, I've always known that you're a good mother-in-law. You never speak ill of me. I truly respect you."
Mo Yan nodded, gesturing for her to continue. Actually, this daughter-in-law was a good person; she worked hard to maintain everything in their family, single-handedly supporting the children's education. But she was unlucky, meeting a husband who loved to gamble, and in the end, even her daughter was going to be…
“I just thought about it, and you’re right. It doesn’t make any difference whether her father is there or not. No, if it weren’t for him, my daughter and I might be better off.”
I don't need to worry about anyone coming to collect debts, nor do I need to worry about them hitting or scolding me.
Thinking about that, Qian Ke really felt that it was a happiness she dared not even dream of.
In fact, happiness is different for everyone. For her, not being scolded or beaten is already a great happiness.
"But Mom, if we get divorced, my parents will definitely come over. They'll make me remarry, and then what will happen to Yueyue?"
I'd rather remarry and have another child than be beaten and verbally abused.
"It's better to leave it at that. At least now I have land, I can farm and earn some money, and raise Cheng Yue properly. That's how my life will be."
In their area, divorced women are not allowed to return to their parents' home; their parents will still force them to remarry.
"Why don't you just not tell them?"
Qian Ke: "!!!"
Qian Ke's eyes widened; she hadn't thought of that.
“I’ll take you to get a divorce, then drag him away to another city. What are you afraid of?”
From now on, it will just be you and your daughter at home, so you don't need to worry about anything else.
I'll probably be away for two months, and I'll take care of everything before I leave.
Or is it that you truly love him so much that you'd willingly endure being beaten by him?
Qian Ke kept shaking his head; no one would willingly be beaten.
"Mom, I don't want to be beaten. I just want to live a good life and let Yueyue go to high school so that she can leave the mountains and go to a big city like her aunt."
Hearing this, Mo Yan had no answer. She thought to herself, "I hope I don't end up like my aunt. My aunt is really... infuriating."
"Okay, I understand what you mean. Let's eat."
After the meal, Qian Ke took Cheng Yue to clear the dishes, and only then did Mo Yan come to Cheng Yongzhi.
Cheng Yongzhi was sobbing, and it was impossible to tell whether the sweat on his face was tears or sweat from extreme pain.
“Cheng Yongzhi, if you’re willing to talk properly now, I’ll open the rag. If you don’t cooperate, I’ll throw you off a cliff tonight under the cover of darkness. That way, I can skip all the rest.”
Cheng Yongzhi: "???"
At this moment, Cheng Yongzhi was devastated and terrified. What did he hear? His mother said to throw him off a cliff?
He kept struggling and nodding.
Mo Yan released his mouth, and he began to cry speechlessly, "Mom, I'm your own son, how could you be so heartless? If I die, who will take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days?"
“Your wife,” Mo Yan pointed to the kitchen, “she’s much more reliable than you, and so is my granddaughter.”
Cheng Yongzhi: "..."
"Mom, they're all outsiders. Only I am your son, the one who will take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die. Can you let go of me and take me to the hospital? I'm going to become disabled."
He's in so much pain now he doesn't even want to live anymore.
“I can take you out, but you have to listen to me. Also, tell me how much money you owe that they’ve come all the way to your house.”
“Five thousand…” Cheng Yongzhi said through gritted teeth, he didn’t know how he ended up with so much.
Five thousand is not much for many people, but for the people in this place, it is an astronomical figure.
