Yuan Xiangyong pointed at Yuan Mengge and cursed, "You really are an ingrate! What was the point of giving birth to you? What was the point of raising you? We raised you all these years, and this is how you repay us?"
Yuan Mengge walked into the living room, placed two documents on the table, and took out a pen to place on top of them.
She said, "I'm an ingrate? Are you all blind? Yuan Dasheng is the ingrate, okay? He's the only one among the four of us siblings who eats well, dresses well, doesn't have to do anything, and then he still has to sponge off his parents. My sisters and I eat his leftovers, wear the cheapest clothes, and still have to do everything."
Yuan Dasheng came out dressed at this moment. Hearing her words, he couldn't help but retort, "Who told me I'm a man and you're women?"
Yuan Mengge glanced at him and said, "So what if they're men? Do you think you'll take care of them in their old age and see them off when they die?"
Then he said to Yuan Xiangyong, "You call me an ingrate? If you had treated me better, would I have done this? You think your son is your own flesh and blood, but your daughter is just an adopted child? Besides, I'm asking Yuan Dasheng to get a divorce, not you. I've already returned the bride price to you. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Yuan Dasheng walked over, looked at the two documents she had placed on the table, and asked her, "Where should I sign?"
Yuan Mengge pointed to the signature area and gave it to him: "There are three copies of the divorce papers. One for you and one for Sister Xue'e. The other one will be submitted to the Civil Affairs Bureau later."
Seeing that he was really about to sign, Yao Dongqing and Yuan Xiangyong immediately rushed in: "What are you doing! You can't sign! Dasheng, are you crazy? Why are you signing this?"
Yuan Dasheng looked at her and said, "Mom! Just let this woman leave. If she doesn't leave, this brat will cause us more trouble."
"Make this clear: I didn't cause this trouble, you did," Yuan Mengge said, pursing her lips.
A fleeting expression crossed Yuan Dasheng's face, but he remained silent.
"What trouble could your brother possibly cause! It's you!" Yao Dongqing pointed at Yuan Mengge and cursed, completely ignoring her words.
"Mom! Stop talking." Yuan Dasheng said to Yao Dongqing somewhat guiltily.
Yuan Mengge sneered and said sarcastically, "Don't you know what kind of person your own son is? Hasn't he caused enough trouble since he was a child? It was one thing for him to cause trouble when he was young, but now that he's grown up, his 'abilities' have increased quite a bit."
Yuan Xiangyong stood at the door and shouted at Yuan Dasheng, "Don't sign! I don't agree! Yuan Dasheng, what are you signing? Are you stupid? You married this woman yourself, we raised so much money for the bride price and the wedding banquet, and now everyone knows you've married a new wife. And you've run away after only a few days. You may not care about your reputation, but we do!"
Yuan Mengge didn't say anything, just stood to the side with her arms crossed in front of her chest, looking at Yuan Dasheng.
Upon seeing her expression, Yuan Dasheng immediately pulled Yao Dongqing and Yuan Xiangyong aside: "Dad, Mom, come here for a moment."
Then he pulled the two elderly people into Yuan Xiangyong's room and closed the door.
"What are you doing? What do you want to say?" Seeing his behavior, Yuan Xiangyong suddenly had a bad feeling, so he frowned and asked him.
Yao Dongqing looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Yeah, why did you pull us in here?"
Yuan Dasheng, looking somewhat awkward, advised them, "Dad, Mom, listen to me, just let her sign. Anyway, I can always marry another wife. Didn't she return all the dowry money?"
"What's wrong with you? Huh? You're actually speaking up for them now?" Yao Dongqing asked, looking at Yuan Dasheng's face in disbelief, completely unable to understand why Yuan Dasheng had changed his mind so quickly.
Yuan Dasheng gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, listen to me, really, you all listen to me, let's sign it, let's get a divorce, we won't lose any money anyway."
“Who says we didn’t lose out? We put in so much effort and time to prepare the wedding banquet, invited so many people to the feast, and spent so much manpower and resources. Now she thinks she can just leave whenever she wants?” Yuan Xiangyong said to him with a gloomy face.
Yuan Dasheng said, "Dad, now is not the time to think about this... Let them go. Look at Aping's condition. If we keep arguing with her like this, who knows what she might do next? She might not dare to go against you, but she will go against me! You've seen it yourself, she's going to hit me when she goes crazy."
Yuan Xiangyong stared at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Does she have some kind of leverage over you?"
Yuan Dasheng paused for a moment, then looked at him and fell silent.
Seeing his silence, Yao Dongqing immediately widened her eyes and asked him in surprise, "What did you do? Huh? What did you do that gave her something to use against you?"
Yuan Dasheng immediately looked away, not daring to look at her.
When Yao Dongqing saw him avoid her gaze, she knew she had guessed correctly.
She instantly flew into a rage and slapped his arm: "You brat, what have you been doing outside? Huh? Your sister even found out! What exactly did you do? Tell me!"
Yuan Dasheng naturally refused to say anything and could only keep his mouth shut and take her beating.
Seeing his reaction, Yuan Xiangyong glared at him and demanded, "You really let her catch you doing something wrong? What did you do? Tell me!"
Yuan Dasheng shook his head: "Don't ask anymore! Anyway... anyway, just get that divorce papers signed today, and everything will be fine. Otherwise, if she tells everyone about me... then I'll have to go into hiding!"
"Go out to hide? What's so serious that you need to run away to hide? What did you do? Are you going to tell me or not?" Yuan Xiangyong forced him to answer.
Yuan Dasheng avoided eye contact and dared not speak, but only advised them to sign the papers quickly and send Li Xue'e away so that everything would be fine.
In the living room outside the door, Li Xue'e and another person sat on the edge of the bed waiting.
Although there was a door between them, they could hear the conversations inside perfectly well.
Li Xue'e also asked Yuan Mengge curiously in a low voice, "You've caught your brother doing something wrong? What's wrong with him?"
Yuan Mengge whispered in her ear, "He had an affair with the third daughter-in-law of the Yang family in our village, and let me tell you, even if he marries you, he will continue to hang out with that woman."
Upon hearing this, Li Xue'e's expression shifted from shock to disbelief, then to disgust, and finally, she said with a look of utter contempt, "Ugh! Your brother is disgusting! He's having an affair with someone else's wife!"
“Exactly, I think he’s disgusting too!” Yuan Mengge nodded and then said to her, “He’s like a leopard that can’t change its spots. He’ll never change this kind of thing in his life. Even if he doesn’t sleep with the girl in our village, he’ll still sleep with someone else outside, and he’ll even have an illegitimate child.”
Li Xue'e frowned: "If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known he was this kind of person."
Yuan Mengge pursed her lips: "Of course he wouldn't let you know before the wedding, otherwise would you have been so willing to marry him?"
