If there's ever a need for help in the future, Zhang Qinghua won't refuse, considering the favor he received this time.
Therefore, everyone readily agreed. As for their little schemes, Zhang Qinghua could guess them and was well aware of them.
But I understand, it's only human nature. If it were him, he might think the same way.
So, after Zhang Qinghua explained the details, everyone went home, but each of them brought a few people with them.
Once everyone had agreed, Zhang Qinghua went home. "Aiai, let's go. We should go to the Fang family now; things should be resolved by then."
The sooner it's resolved, the sooner he can put his mind at ease; otherwise, he'll always be worrying about it.
"Big brother, have you finished your business?" Zhang Aiai asked, standing up as she called Fang Xiaotao, who was still inside the house, to come out.
"I'll deal with my business later. Let's take care of yours first. I went out earlier to make some preparations, and now that everything's settled, you can go back."
"good"
Zhang Aiai took Fang Xiaotao out, and then they saw many people standing at their door, seemingly waiting for them.
"Big brother, who are they?" Zhang Aiai asked, puzzled. What were so many people doing here?
“They’ll go with us, but they’ll stay outside the village, just in case.” This was the decision Zhang Qinghua had just made.
If the Fang family discusses things amicably, then nothing will happen, and everyone will be fine.
If the Fang family bullies others because of their numbers, these people can immediately follow and prevent them from being in a passive position.
"oh……"
Zhang Aiai didn't understand why there were so many people, but she didn't ask. She figured her older brother must have his reasons.
Zhang Qinghua took Zhang Aiai and Fang Xiaotao to Fang Yaoqing's house. While they were outside the village, he told the others to wait, and then led the two women inside.
"Oh, my dear brother-in-law is here?" As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Old Lady Fang standing there, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"Auntie," Zhang Qinghua nodded. Although he didn't have a good impression of the family, he still maintained basic politeness.
"What are you doing here? I heard you brought my daughter-in-law back to her parents' house yesterday? What? She's already part of my family, why are you still letting her have her way?"
“How can a wife be like this, letting her son come back alone? She doesn’t know how to serve her husband and just runs back to her parents’ home. No one wants a wife like that.”
The old woman from the Fang family was holding a grudge. Yesterday, when her son came home, he kept complaining that the Zhang family was bullying him and looking down on him.
They bought new clothes and treats for the two prostitutes, Zhang Aiai and Fang Xiaotao, but not for him. This made Fang's wife very angry. So, she thought Zhang Qinghua would come today and waited for him at the door!
Zhang Qinghua originally intended to go to the Fang family's house to talk to them, but since the old woman from the Fang family had already said so, Zhang Qinghua decided not to bother anymore.
“Since Auntie thinks so too, then things will be easier. Let Ai’ai and Fang Yaoqing divorce. If you’re happy, we’re willing too.”
"What? You... what did you say?" Old Mrs. Fang was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhang Qinghua with surprise and asking back.
"Didn't Auntie say she doesn't want sex and looks down on her? Since that's the case, that's fine too. We don't like Fang Yaoqing either, so wouldn't a divorce be better?"
"Auntie, when do you think would be a good time for the two of them to go to town to complete the formalities?"
Zhang Aiai and Fang Yaoqing went through the proper procedures when they got married, which is why they are now facing some trouble and need to get a divorce.
"Divorce? You said you want a divorce?" Old Mrs. Fang screamed in shock. Only then did her brain receive the signal and realize what Zhang Qinghua was talking about.
“Yes, divorce…” Zhang Qinghua nodded. It was a decision made unanimously by the whole family, and he naturally agreed, so he spoke without any hesitation.
"No, absolutely not." The first reaction of the old woman from the Fang family was to disagree; how could she possibly agree to this?
If I agree, won't the villagers laugh at me to death? Absolutely not.
And then there's their son, who's now learning to be lazy and good-for-nothing. If they get divorced, who would want to marry him?
Besides, the Zhang family is known for its power and influence in the surrounding villages. The whole family has gone to the capital, so it will be easy for them to benefit from it in the future!
Therefore, I strongly disagree.
Zhang Qinghua smiled, knowing this would be the outcome, so he wasn't bothered; things weren't that simple.
So, he thought it best to call Fang Yaoqing out, perhaps by asking the old woman from the Fang family, to see if he would be willing.
“No. Even if my son comes out, it won’t work. We don’t agree. Once Zhang Aiai marries into the Fang family, she’ll be a member of the Fang family. She can only die in the Fang family.”
Zhang Qinghua's face darkened. How old was his sister? How could she be cursed by this old woman?
Then Zhang Qinghua's voice turned cold: "Today we are definitely getting a divorce. Let Fang Yaoqing come out and say it himself."
Because of the loud voice of the old woman from the Fang family, everyone around heard it and gathered around, so they knew that Fang Yaoqing and his wife were getting a divorce.
This is something new to people nowadays—divorce! They've only heard of it, never actually seen it!
I never expected to actually see it today. Everyone was curious and gossipy, and couldn't help but squeeze over.
"What's going on? What's all the noise about?" Fang Yaoqing was inside and couldn't sleep because of the noise outside, so he came out to check.
"Oh, it's my brother-in-law!" Fang Yaoqing said when he saw Zhang Qinghua. He looked lazy, with droopy eyelids, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
"Son, Zhang Ai'ai wants a divorce!" Old Mrs. Fang said anxiously, grabbing Fang Yaoqing's arm.
"What? Divorce?" Fang Yaoqing suddenly perked up, looking at Zhang Aiai in disbelief, as if he were hallucinating.
Zhang Aiai looked directly at Fang Yaoqing and, for the first time, mustered the courage to say her thoughts: "Yes, divorce, Fang Yaoqing, I don't want to live with you anymore."
"You bitch, say that again!" Fang Yaoqing pointed at Zhang Aiai with a fierce look on his face.
Zhang Aiai flinched in fright. The fear that had accumulated over the years had not disappeared so quickly, and she was instinctively afraid.
Zhang Qinghua stepped forward, blocking Zhang Aiai's path, and looked coldly at Fang Yaoqing. "What? You want to hit someone?"
"You...I...I'm not." Seeing Zhang Qinghua, Fang Yaoqing lost his temper. Who told him to be caught red-handed?
"Fang Yaoqing, I don't care if you are or not. I'm here today to handle this matter. Just tell me, do you agree or not?"
As for Fang Yaoqing, Zhang Qinghua felt there was not much to say and directly stated his purpose.
"I disagree. She's my wife, and I won't divorce her," Fang Yaoqing said sullenly, but without any real conviction.
"That's right. A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; once she's gone, there's no way to take her back."
“Zhang Ai’ai is our Zhang family’s daughter-in-law, we can’t get a divorce.”
