Hearing this, Old Zhu felt a little embarrassed. He asked his daughter a question and found that she kept her head down and didn't say anything. He knew that the beating of her mother-in-law was true. He glared at Zhu Wenying fiercely.
"Mother-in-law, this matter..." Old Zhu spoke slowly and was interrupted halfway through.
Jiang Fangru looked down upon Old Lady Xia the most, thinking that she was just a good-tempered person. She thought that she must have been forced into a corner and made such a scene today, so she wanted to get rid of her quickly. She had already noticed that Yu Xue's expression was not right.
"Xiangdong's mother, even if this is true, it was indeed our Wenying who did something wrong. I apologize to you on her behalf." Jiang Fangru said without any sincerity and patted Zhu Wenying a few times.
These few times, Old Mrs. Xia felt that she had used more force than this when she brushed the dust off her clothes.
"Look, I've beaten you and scolded you. Why don't you go back today? We have something to do at home." Jiang Fangru directly ordered them to leave.
Old Lady Xia glanced at Old Zhu, who was stunned and seemed to have not reacted. But Old Lady Xia knew that he was playing dumb again.
If he could really be sent away so easily, Old Zhu would be so happy.
"Oh, that's right. It's no wonder Wenying dared to hit me. It turns out that someone was backing her up." Old Lady Xia stopped pretending and turned to look at Yu Xue with a smile, saying, "Miss, are you looking for a partner with Zhu Wenfei? Tsk tsk tsk, your vision is really not very good."
"You've seen it too. Their family rules. When younger people beat their elders, her mother just handles it so lightly. If you marry into their family and get wronged, your future mother-in-law will probably be even harsher on you."
As soon as Mrs. Xia finished speaking, she met Zhu Wenfei's fierce eyes. She pretended to be afraid and said, "Look, I just said something fair, and your boyfriend wants to kill me. The look in his eyes is exactly the same as the one my daughter-in-law gave me when she hit me. Is he a domestic abuser?"
Yu Xue looked over and saw Zhu Wenfei's ferocious eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. He had never been like this in front of her before; he was always gentle and considerate.
She always had a good temper in front of her father, and even when her father looked down on her at first, she didn't show any displeasure. She also told herself that her family wasn't as well off as hers, so it was normal for her father to look down on her, and that she would work hard in the future.
At the time, she thought this man was responsible and could face his own problems head-on, making him a rare good man. After she told her father about it, he also thought he had a good character.
But now, she was a little unsure. She had witnessed and heard with her own ears how her family treated her in-laws, and that look of disdain made her feel uncomfortable. And then seeing him with that murderous look, she had begun to believe her aunt's words in her heart. Perhaps he really wasn't a good man.
"I...I don't think it's a good day to talk about things, so I'd better leave first." Yu Xue lowered her head, avoiding Zhu Wenfei's gaze, picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
"Xiaoxue." Zhu Wenfei grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't listen to this old woman. I'm not that kind of person."
He was a little anxious. Today was supposed to be the first time the girl met her parents. If they were suitable after the meeting, they would really talk about marriage.
Yu Xue trembled for a moment, then pulled her hand away forcefully. "I know, but your family has something going on right now, so it's not convenient to talk about our affairs. Let's talk about it in a few days."
She ran as fast as if there was a ghost chasing her, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Damn old woman!" Zhu Wenfei raised his fist angrily and wanted to hit her, but was stopped by Old Zhu.
"Wenfei, don't make things worse." Old Zhu was also annoyed, but when he saw his son was about to hit someone, he knew that it was absolutely not allowed.
If he could resolve his eldest daughter's issue today and then appease Yu Xue, then his eldest son's marriage would still be possible. If he injured that damn old woman today, it would really be impossible for Yu Xue to be with him.
Zhu Wenfei calmed down and sat down on the chair angrily.
"Xia Yue'e, what on earth do you want to do?" Jiang Fangru was also very angry. A good marriage was almost ruined by her. Originally, his son had grabbed this golden nugget and had a bright future. Their Zhu family would be able to hold their heads high in the future.
Now everything is ruined, she won't let them have it easy.
Jiang Fangru grabbed her daughter and angrily scolded her son-in-law, Chen Xiangdong, "Xiangdong, I thought you were a good person, and I felt relieved to leave Wenying in your care. But I never thought you would let your own mother bully my daughter like this, and she's pregnant. What kind of grudge do you have that you have to torture her at this time?"
Chen Xiangdong smiled bitterly, "Mom, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to Wenying and you. I'm going to take my mom away right now."
He raised his hand and grabbed Old Lady Xia. Old Lady Xia moved flexibly and slapped him in the face. "Raising you is really worse than raising a dog. I feed the dog, and the dog knows how to guard the house. I feed you, and you turn around and sell me out."
Jiang Fangru: "Xia Yue'e, what do you want to do? Do you have to make the whole family a mess before you're satisfied? If that doesn't work, let them get divorced!"
"mom?"
"mom?"
Zhu Wenying's eyes widened. She didn't want a divorce. Life in the Chen family was incredibly comfortable. Chen Xiangdong kept all his money in her care, and his parents-in-law occasionally gave them some money. Her mother-in-law did all the housework, leaving her alone at home, like a young lady from the old days.
Except for this time when her mother-in-law went crazy and had to make such a fuss, she was very happy at other times. If they divorced, other families would never have such a good life.
Chen Xiangdong didn't want to either. He and Zhu Wenying were high school classmates and had been in a relationship. Although Zhu Wenying was a bit spoiled, she was devoted to their family. Besides, who would get divorced so easily these days? If they really did, he would be laughed to death.
Jiang Fangru certainly knew that she could not get a divorce, but she really didn't want to be oppressed by her mother-in-law, whom she had always looked down upon, so she wanted to threaten her with divorce.
Seeing the two children's anxious expressions, she was the calmest one. "Xia Yue'e, if you keep making such a fuss, I won't let my daughter Wenying be bullied by you anymore. Let the two children get divorced today."
She held her head high, certain that Old Lady Xia would soften her attitude and beg her, because she knew Old Lady Xia's character.
Zhu Wenying saw her mother winking at her and immediately understood what she meant. She immediately started to argue, "Chen Xiangdong, your mother bullies me like this, how can I still have any dignity? Let's get a divorce today, right now."
Chen Xiangdong said pitifully, "Wenying..."
He turned around and angrily yelled at Old Lady Xia, "Mom, are you satisfied now? I got your son divorced, are you satisfied?"
Old Chen was smoking his old pipe. When he heard the word "divorce", he stopped and said, "Old woman, stop it!"
