This time, Lu Jiajie went to Yangcheng to buy a batch of goods. After talking with someone, he got home at around 8 o'clock. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Ma's father and mother with gloomy faces.

Ma Lili asked anxiously, "You went to school to find Jixiang today and beat him up?"

Lu Jiajie showed a disdainful smile on his face: "He stole my watch, but he was given two slaps instead of sending it to the police station. That was a bargain for him."

Ma's mother screamed, "Lu Jiajie, Jixiang's face is so swollen, you clearly want to beat him to death."

Lu Jiajie said, "Don't worry about this. Murder is against the law. It's not worth it to sacrifice myself for such a thief. Also, this is my home. If you want to quarrel, go back to your own home."

Father Ma said with a gloomy face: "Lu Jiajie, have you forgotten how my wife and I treated you? Your conscience has been eaten by dogs."

Lu Jiajie had long been dissatisfied with the Ma family, and had not visited them during the first month of this year. He had previously told Lu Hongjun and Lu Jiaguang that neither of them agreed to the divorce, but because of Jiaxin's matter, his elder brother had already relented, and he was just looking for a suitable reason to bring it up.

The watch incident was a perfect excuse. Lu Jiajie said, "I lived in the Ma family after I got married, and you helped me take care of the children. I never denied that. But Ma Lili lent money to Ma Jixiang to buy a house. I wanted to get it back, but she said it was six years' rent and the wages for taking care of the children..."

Ma Lili interrupted him: "Jiajie, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Jiajie looked at Ma Lili and said, "Why, you didn't explain it to them clearly?"

How could you tell your parents about this? It would be like a falling out. Ma Lili said, "Jiajie, it was wrong for Jixiang to take your watch, but he is still a child. You shouldn't have been so harsh."

Lu Jiajie didn't want to waste any more time talking to her: "Ma Lili, I can't live like this anymore, let's get a divorce!"

After Jiaxin left, he wanted to bring it up, but he held back because of his eldest brother's advice. Now Ma Jixiang has stolen his watch worth thousands of dollars and sold it. The Ma family doesn't teach him a lesson but instead blames him. Isn't this funny? What happens to Ma Jixiang is none of his business, but Lu Jiajie doesn't allow the two children to have any contact with the Ma family anymore.

I used to think that Xiaofeng was a girl and it would be better for her to follow her mother. But now it seems that Jiaxin was right. If my daughter really follows her, her life will be ruined.

Ma Lili was stunned: "Lu Jiajie, what did you just say? Say it again."

Lu Jiajie said expressionlessly: "Divorce, I can't live like this. I can give you the house, but the two children must belong to me."

Ma Lili came to her senses and rushed over to fight him: "Lu Jiajie, do you have a woman outside? Lu Jiajie, you conscienceless beast, I am exhausted at home taking care of the children, and you are hooking up with a vixen outside, and now you want to divorce me. I tell you, I will not divorce you, even if I die."

Lu Jiajie pushed her away and said coldly, "I hired Aunt Song to do the laundry, cooking, and picking up the kids. You just need to take care of the kids. You worked overtime and covered for others to make more money to support your parents. You asked for it. It has nothing to do with me."

Ma's mother yelled, "Qiangqiang, Xiaofeng, your mom is going to be beaten to death by your dad, why don't you come out?"

Lu Jiajie was so angry that he wanted to kick them. When he saw the two children coming out, he suppressed his anger and said, "Qiangqiang, take Xiaofeng into the house. Don't come out without my permission."

Xiaofeng was so scared that she burst into tears. Qiangqiang took a look at Ma Lili and then took Xiaofeng back to the house. This child was sensible and knew that his father was devoted to them, and his mother cared most about his grandparents and Ma Jixiang. It was the same, he always sided with Lu Jiajie.

When Ma Lili saw the two children return to the house, she cried even more sadly.

This is really a huge offer. How could Lu Jiajie agree to it? "It's only 5,000 yuan at most. If you don't agree, forget it. I won't be returning to this home anyway."

Father Ma said, "Give the house to Lili, plus 5,000 yuan in compensation. But Qiangqiang is yours, and Xiaofeng must be given to Lili."

He heard that Lu Jiajie had earned an extra 100,000 yuan this year, but his family didn't see a cent. Even the money for food, Lu Jiajie gave it to Auntie Song and didn't let Ma Lili touch it. And because Auntie Song did the laundry, cooking, and picking up the kids, they complained to others about Lu Jiajie's faults, and everyone thought they were not satisfied.

Lu Jiajie sneered, "The two children must belong to me. If Xiaofeng follows Ma Lili, when the child grows up, you will definitely let Ma Jixiang lie on her to suck her blood and eat her flesh. I will never let you abuse my child like this again."

Ma's mother said angrily: "Lu Jiajie, you are so conscienceless to say this."

Lu Jiajie would not accept this: "You are the ones who are so wicked. Not only did you suck the blood of your daughter and son-in-law for Ma Jixiang, you also beat and scolded your grandchildren at will, and shamelessly said that filial piety is what you should do."

After saying that, he said viciously: "Don't push me too far. If you push me too far, I can do anything. I just hope you won't regret it when the time comes."

Hearing this, Ma's father was a little scared. He knew that Lu Jiajie had been doing well in the past two years and had dealings with all kinds of people.

Father Ma said, "Give me this house and 20,000 yuan, and I'll let Lili divorce you."

Ma Lili finally came to her senses and screamed, "I won't divorce you. I will never divorce you even if I die."

Father Ma said angrily: "His heart has been seduced by the vixen outside. What do you want him to do with such a heartless man?"

Lu Jiajie sneered, "I swear that I have never had a woman outside. If I tell a lie, I will be destitute and have no one to see me off to the end of my life. What about you? Do you dare to swear that you have never had a woman outside?"

Ma's father didn't scold him for being unreasonable.

Since they were already at loggerheads, there was no way Lu Jiajie would let him go: "In order to give birth to a son, you found three women outside, but unfortunately none of them got pregnant. You cheated on her and you think all men in the world are the same as you. You don't find it disgusting, but I find it dirty."

Ma's mother was shocked: "What did you say?"

Lu Jiajie ignored the two people and said to Ma Lili, "Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to go through the divorce procedures, and this house will belong to you. I will also give you 5,000 yuan as compensation. If you don't go, I will file for divorce, and you can forget about the house and the money."

Ma Lili still said that she would not divorce, not even if she died. Even if I gave her the house and money, what was the point of having these without a man and children?

Lu Jiajie had already run out of patience with her: "How can you bear to die? If you die, who will take care of your parents when they are too old to move? You can't count on Ma Dahua and that thief Ma Jixiang who only know how to ask for money and things, right?"

Since she was so reluctant to leave her parents' home, Lu Jiajie decided to fulfill her wish and let her go back to be a filial daughter. He could also live a good life with two children.
