Ye Qingqing secretly applauded. To deal with an unreasonable mother-in-law like the old lady, one must use such ruthless methods. Some elders really don't deserve that respect.
The other elderly women also tried to persuade her.
"After all, she is an elder. It's not right for Xiao Jie's mother to say that. Even if your mother-in-law didn't do anything special, she still worked hard to raise Xiao Jie. You can't talk about your mother-in-law like that."
"Quickly apologize to your mother-in-law, and this matter will be over. Family members don't hold grudges overnight. It's just a small thing. I think Xiao Jie is a good person. His parents are both successful, and Xiao Jie will definitely be successful too."
"Yeah, hurry up and give in to your mom, it's just a small thing. Kids are all like that these days, they like fried chicken legs but don't like vegetables, they're all the same!"
...
Everyone tried to smooth things over, but the more they talked to the old lady, the more she got angry and wouldn't listen.
"She just looks down on my son. She must be seeing someone else. No wonder she comes home so late every day. She only stays home for half the month. She's always on the go. Who knows what she's doing out there!"
Ye Qingqing frowned; those words were too harsh for her to bear.
"Grandma Xiao Jie, you're really something. Your son clearly has a receding hairline, but you still insist on planting a patch of grass on his head. You must be his real mother, right?" Ye Qingqing teased deliberately.
I've never seen a mother-in-law who would deliberately smear her daughter-in-law.
Everyone burst into laughter, but their gazes toward Xiao Jie's mother became ambiguous. There's no smoke without fire; even the mother-in-law said so. It seems that Xiao Jie's mother is indeed having an affair!
Xiao Jie's mother turned pale with anger, and tears streamed down her face. "My business trips were all arranged by the company, and I was doing legitimate business. I have a clear conscience. If you and your son suspect that I've done something wrong, please provide evidence, or we'll see you in court!"
She can't stay in this family anymore; she has to get a divorce!
The old lady was slow to react and was still processing Ye Qingqing's words. She didn't understand what "Mediterranean" or "planting grass" meant.
When she heard her daughter-in-law say "see you in court," the old lady understood this time, was startled, and shouted angrily, "You want to divorce my son?"
Xiao Jie's mother sneered, "You two suspect me of doing something wrong, don't you? In that case, let's go to court and find out the truth. My lawyer will contact your son."
"Fine, let's get a divorce. My son has a villa, a luxury car, and he's a leader in a big company. He'll have plenty of young, beautiful girls throwing themselves at him. You just wait and see, you'll end up marrying this old geezer!"
The old lady was so angry she jumped up and down, but she was also very pleased. She had long disliked her arrogant daughter-in-law, and it was good that they were divorced. With her son's good qualities, what kind of girl couldn't he find?
She'll go back to her hometown and find a beautiful, obedient, gentle, and capable girl, and give her a strong grandson. That would be a hundred times better than this old woman.
Xiao Jie's mother was as cold as ice; she had indeed wanted to divorce her for a long time. It was better that she was divorced; she would be more comfortable raising the child alone.
"You're overthinking it. I paid the down payment for this house, and I'm basically the one paying the mortgage. Your son's little bit of money isn't even enough to support your penniless children."
My son and I have a prenuptial agreement, so the divorce will proceed according to that agreement. Your whole family will move out. You can take the car, the house and Xiao Jie are mine, and I don't care how much savings your son has; he can take that too. Congratulations on finding a wonderful 18-year-old daughter-in-law; may you live a happy and fulfilling life!
Xiao Jie's mother made a decisive move, leaving the old lady dumbfounded. Even if she was stupid, she knew that the most valuable thing in the house was the house. Without the house, what would her son use to find a young woman?
