When Old Lady Xia saw that this stubborn old man was trying to smooth things over again, she was so angry that she immediately grabbed him and slapped him in the face, not giving him any face even in front of her in-laws.
Old Chen was stunned instantly. His face was covered with slap marks, red, his hair was messy, and his eyes were dull.
He pushed Old Lady Xia down and said, "Are you sick? You shrew, I want to divorce you!"
He has never been beaten by a woman in his life. Xia Yue'e is rebelling and wants to ride on his neck and bully him.
Old Lady Xia suddenly laughed, looking like she was crazy. "Alright, divorce then divorce. Don't think I'm afraid of you. After we've resolved Zhu Wenying's issue, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce. Even if we get a divorce, I'm going to send Zhu Wenying to jail today."
Old Chen: "Can you be reasonable? She just hit you once, what's the big deal? Are you really trying to make life difficult for the eldest brother and his wife?"
Old Mrs. Xia: "I just hit you, why are you so desperate to divorce me? Are you really trying to make my life miserable?"
Old Chen: "...It's unreasonable."
How could this be the same? She was a woman, and he was a man. How could a man be beaten by a woman? Wouldn't that be cowardly? Old Chen refused to accept this. Although he couldn't divorce her, scaring Old Lady Xia was enough. He didn't believe there was a woman who wasn't afraid of divorce.
This divorced woman will be gossiped about.
Jiang Fangru was trying to sow discord, "Xiangdong's mother, you can't hit a man no matter what. In my family, I always serve my man obediently. Let alone hitting him, I'm worried even if he coughs. Men are women's gods."
Mrs. Xia: ...shabi.
But Old Chen listened to it. Look at other people's daughters-in-law, how gentle and virtuous they are. Old Mrs. Xia could also be called virtuous before, but today, I don't know if she was possessed by a ghost. Not only did she want her son to divorce, she also dared to beat him.
When Old Lady Xia saw Old Chen nodding approvingly at Jiang Fangru, then turning to look at her with disdain, she slapped him again with her backhand. "If you don't take care of your eyes, I'll beat you the same way your second brother beats your second sister-in-law, three times a day, without missing a meal."
Seeing the two people about to fight again, Chen Xiangnan felt embarrassed. No matter what, he couldn't let outsiders watch the excitement. He forcefully separated the two people, "Mom and Dad, let's talk about our family matters after we get back. Let's deal with the matter of eldest brother and sister-in-law first."
Old Chen knew that it was too embarrassing to fight with this old woman in someone else's house, but in order to regain some face after being beaten, he shouted: "I will divorce you when I get back."
Old Zhu's pupils were shining at the side. Seeing them quarreling, he was so excited. But he still looked like he was doing it for their own good and told them to stop arguing. "Xiangdong's mother, you can't just talk about divorce. We have a good family, there's no need for this."
Old Lady Xia was about to rush over and hit Old Chen again, but when she heard this, she immediately attacked him indiscriminately: "Don't be too happy too soon. Don't think I don't know about you and the widow Liu from Xinghuayuan. I will report you later. You are so old and still have a casual relationship with men and women."
Jiang Fangru didn't expect that she would be the one to suffer the consequences. She immediately started crying and cursing, "You Zhu, I'm almost sick from working myself to death at home, and you're so carefree. Tell me, what's your relationship with that widow Liu?"
As a result, the war spread from the Chen family to the Zhu family, and they watched helplessly as the couple, who had just been in harmony, started fighting by pulling each other's hair.
Old Lady Xia raised the corner of her mouth and imitated Jiang Fangru's words, "In my family, I always serve my man obediently. Not to mention fighting, even if he coughs, I worry too much~"
Jiang Fangru took the time to spit at Old Lady Xia and told her to shut up.
Old Lady Xia dodged for a moment and finished the rest of her words, "Men are women's gods."
Zhu Wenfei's face turned red with shame for his mother.
Seeing her own parents fighting, Zhu Wenying cried even harder, her voice hoarse, "Dad, Mom, stop, it must be my mother-in-law who made it up."
She took her anger out on Old Lady Xia, "Mom, you're so jealous of me that you're spreading rumors?"
Old Lady Xia immediately retorted loudly, "If I were to fabricate this rumor, I, Xia Yue'e, would be struck by lightning. If I had, your father would have pointed at my nose and scolded me. Why would he feel so guilty? There is not a single good person in your family."
Zhu Wenying rushed over and wanted to fight with Old Lady Xia. Old Lady Xia immediately opened the door and rushed out. Seeing Zhu Wenying chasing after her, she shouted, "Murder, murder! The daughter-in-law killed the mother-in-law."
The neighbors who were still outside had heard the noise from the Zhu family and were itching to rush in and eat the melons. Now they saw the door open and two people rushed out, Zhu Wenying still holding up her fists with a ferocious look, and they immediately believed what Old Lady Xia had said before.
Zhu Wenying really dares to hit her mother-in-law.
Several people grabbed Zhu Wenying and lectured her about respecting the elderly while looking towards the Zhu family. They saw that the living room was in a mess. The Zhu couple were fighting fiercely, and even cups and bowls were smashed to the ground.
Everyone watched with great interest, and some even started to make noises and offer suggestions.
With the comfort of her neighbors, Old Mrs. Xia opened her eyes and looked over while recounting what happened inside the house.
My goodness, these two people are really beating each other to death.
Just as she was about to talk about the affair between Old Zhu and Widow Liu, Zhu Wenying interrupted her with a yell. Then she rushed into the house, took a basin of water and poured it on her parents.
"Ahhh, you dead girl." Jiang Fangru wiped the water off her face and was about to curse when she saw the scene outside.
She immediately calmed down. No matter what, her family affairs should be resolved at home.
So, Old Lady Xia, who was just sighing at how broad her horizons had been, was pulled in again and watched the door close.
Old Zhu: "What do you want? Xiangdong, do you really not want to live with Wenying anymore?"
Chen Xiangdong bowed his head and apologized, "Mom and Dad, I definitely want to live a good life with Wenying. I will take my mom away right away."
Old Zhu said: "You guys are making such a big fuss over such a small matter. Is this how we live our lives? Don't do this again in the future, or I won't leave my daughter to you."
Chen Xiangdong: "Yes, yes, this time it's all my fault."
Old Mrs. Xia was held tightly by her son, and even if she beat him hard, it was of no use.
Seeing that they were all determined to go home on their own and no one was on her side, she didn't want to waste her energy and said lightly, "If you drag me home today, I will go to your unit to find the leaders tomorrow, one by one."
"Don't even mention you're my biological son. Even if it's your father, your mother-in-law, or your father-in-law, I'm going to make a scene at your workplace. I'm going to see how you can get promoted in the future. Maybe Zhu Wenying will even get fired."
"If I don't vent my anger today, no one will have a good life in the future."
