Tang Jiao was stared at by the mother and son. She didn't know what her mother-in-law meant, but Chen Xiangnan's eyes were pleading, which made Tang Jiao feel very pressured.
She didn't know why she felt even more stressed after her mother-in-law came. It was originally just a matter between them, so she could make any decision and feel justified in whether to divorce or not.
But after her mother-in-law got involved, Tang Jiao felt that whether they divorced or not was wrong. If they divorced, Chen Xiangnan would kneel down and apologize, but she felt reluctant to do so. She still had a child, and she didn't want to abort it. But if she didn't divorce, she would be disappointed in Chen Xiangnan and feel sorry for what her mother-in-law had said tonight. Her mother-in-law thought Chen Xiangnan was wrong.
Tang Jiao was in a dilemma, then she suddenly burst into tears and ran away again.
Chen Xiangnan wanted to get up and chase after him again, but Old Lady Xia kicked him in the chest and said, "If you want to kneel, then kneel well." Then she asked Tang's father and mother to stay at home, and she chased after him, saying that she would definitely bring the man back safely.
The people in the Tang family really couldn’t understand their actions. What did they mean? Did Old Lady Xia really want her son to get divorced?
According to normal people's thinking, they should not want their son to get divorced, but it is obvious from what she just said and Mrs. Xia's usual behavior that she is not a normal person.
Tang Jiao ran away, and her husband was ordered to kneel down by his mother-in-law, who then chased her out.
What does it mean?
Even Chen Xiangnan, who always thought he was smart, didn't know what his mother meant for a moment.
Everyone in the room was filled with questions.
Tang Jiao stopped after running a short distance. She felt depressed and wanted to vomit after running for a while. Her stomach also felt uncomfortable.
She thought it was Chen Xiangnan who was chasing her, so she closed her eyes and walked over with her little hammer. "Why are you doing this to me?"
The moment she struck the hammer, she felt something was wrong with her hand. She opened her eyes in confusion and met the gaze of the bewildered Old Lady Xia. She screamed in fear, "Mom? I'm...I'm sorry."
Old Mrs. Xia rubbed her shoulder which was a little sore from being hit. Fortunately, it was her shoulder which could withstand more beatings. If she had been hit on the nose, she would have started bleeding from the nose.
"It's okay, it's okay. I made that brat kneel down. Jiaojiao, tell me, what do you think? Do you want a divorce?" asked Old Mrs. Xia.
Tang Jiao shook her head. "I don't know either. I'm really sad that Xiangnan is having an affair with another woman. I was even wondering if I did something wrong that made him want to seek comfort from another woman, or if I'm just a terrible wife."
"Even though he's like this, I still haven't given up on him. When I was dating him, everyone in my family was against it. Mom, you also advised me, saying that Xiangnan was not a good person, but I always felt that I could change him. I don't know where I got the confidence from to think that I, an ordinary person, could change someone."
As Tang Jiao spoke, her lips pursed and tears appeared in her eyes. She was a little sad, but didn't want to cry in front of Old Mrs. Xia. She could only sniff and open her eyes wide to hold back the tears.
Old Lady Xia hugged her and heard Tang Jiao sobbing, "Mom, I feel so bad about myself."
Damn the second son, he made the girl like this. Old Mrs. Xia felt very uncomfortable when she heard such a tone and words. At the beginning, she also thought that if the child could study well, if Old Chen could really treat her well, that would be fine. She didn't have any grand wishes, just like this.
But she tried, to no avail. She had been married to Old Chen for over twenty years, and in his heart she was nothing more than a tool, used to save his face, to maintain family harmony, and to serve everyone in the family. In the children's hearts, she was also a tool, used to beg for money and to be ordered around.
Sometimes, even family affection cannot be reflected between them. She has lived with them for so many years, but nothing can change. How can Tang Jiao change?
Chen Xiangnan and Old Chen are really similar sometimes. They know too well how to attack women and how to make them devote their whole lives to them and still get nothing in return.
Tang Jiao wasn't bad, but she shouldn't have tried to change them. In the Chen family, if you weren't selfish, you'd be sucked dry. If you didn't stand up for yourself, you'd be bullied, and that was the kind of subtle bullying that would creep in.
Tang Jiao has lived in a relatively simple and loving family since she was a child. She doesn't know that the calculations between relatives are the most terrible thing. She is not on guard against her family and is destined to suffer losses. And this loss breaks out at this time, which is not a bad thing for her.
"Jiaojiao, you're a good kid, a very good kid. You have positive values, are kind, have a good job and family, and you're a very good person. How could you be bad? But when there are bad people around, we can't be good people, let alone change.
It's difficult for anyone to change. Even... even after dying once, it's still difficult to change. A stupid person can never become smarter, and a bad person can never become good. Adults have fixed mindsets. No matter what happens, they'll continue to act the way they did before. For them, change is less satisfying than reincarnation.
Tang Jiao sobbed, "He is really good to me sometimes, very gentle, very careful, very considerate, very..."
Old Lady Xia: "Many beautiful illusions are shrouded in poison. I once met a man who, every time he did something wrong to his wife, would buy her a lot of nice things as a form of compensation. Jiaojiao, do you want this kind of compensation?"
Tang Jiao looked at Old Lady Xia blankly, then regained consciousness. "Compensation? This is false love. I don't want it."
Old Lady Xia looked into the distance and said, "What's the point of fake things?"
Tang Jiao: "That's why you left there, right? Mom, didn't you say change is hard? Then why did you change?"
Old Mrs. Xia was stunned. Why did she change? Because in just six months, she felt like she had died and been reborn many times in that family. Each time she went crazy, it was a kind of rebirth, breaking the filter she had for her family and regaining her original self.
After thinking for a while, Tang Jiao suddenly said, "Mom, I don't want a divorce."
Old Mrs. Xia sighed, "No one can make the decision for you about whether to divorce or not. Just think it through."
Tang Jiao said viciously, "Mom, you said before that the scariest moment is when the knife isn't falling. Xiangnan is afraid of divorce. He's most afraid of divorce for his second marriage. I'll hang this thing over his head like a knife, and then tell him that if I find out again, I'll divorce him."
Old Lady Xia: "You are still soft-hearted and want to give him a chance."
Tang Jiao didn't say a word.
Mrs. Xia: "What about the child?"
Tang Jiao: "I... want to have a baby. I asked him to write me a letter of guarantee that if we divorce, the child will be mine."
Old Lady Xia: "Then why don't you just report him for promiscuity? Just arrest him."
Tang Jiao's eyes widened. How could she not have thought of this? Chen Xiangnan's mother must have been ruthless.
As soon as Chen Xiangnan approached here, he heard these words and felt that the knife hanging over his head became sharper.
Oh, this is my biological mother?
