“You are your parents’ only son, so your parents’ money is yours. I am your wife, so your money is mine. Therefore, Zhao Zhenzhu taking your parents’ money is the same as taking my money,” Liang Xiaohe said, spouting her twisted logic.
Liang Xiaohe deliberately wanted to cause trouble for Zhao Zhenzhu today.
Zhao Qingshan and his wife doted on Zhao Zhenzhu the most, and Liang Xiaohe was determined to make Zhao Zhenzhu restless, so Wu Meiyun and the others had no choice but to pay her.
Just as Liang Xiaohe arrived at the door, Zhao Zhenzhu was about to come out to "fight back" when Wu Meiyun grabbed her arm.
Wu Meiyun was unaware that Zhao Tianyu had already given up on Liang Xiaohe. She was worried that if Zhao Zhenzhu and Liang Xiaohe argued, it would affect the sibling relationship between Zhao Zhenzhu and Zhao Tianyu.
After all, Zhao Tianyu used to listen to Liang Xiaohe's every word.
Wu Meiyun walked to the door and said coldly, "Zhao Tianyu, you and your husband should move out tomorrow! You two are always arguing and fighting, it annoys me."
"Mom, I..."
Before Zhao Tianyu could speak, Liang Xiaohe interrupted, "Mom, no one in Peach Blossom Town does this, right? Keeping your daughter by your side while kicking your son and daughter-in-law out, do you still expect Tianyu and me to take care of you when you get old?"
In Peach Blossom Town, it's traditionally the son and daughter-in-law who support their parents in their old age. Daughters, no matter how well-off their families are, are not expected to care for their parents in their natal family.
Liang Xiaohe had always been fearless, thinking that Zhao Qingshan and Wu Meiyun would rely on him for their old age.
“Retirement? I wouldn’t dare accept that,” Wu Meiyun couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “I’m afraid if I lived with you, I wouldn’t live to old age.”
"When you have a funeral, the son has to break the basin and the daughter-in-law has to wail, right? Do you two old folks think you can climb up the mountain and bury yourselves when you die?" Liang Xiaohe said angrily without thinking.
In Peach Blossom Town, it's customary for children and grandchildren to make the funeral as lively as possible for an elderly person. It's said that the more lively the funeral, the better the old person's next life will be.
The entire ceremony included elements such as the son smashing a basin and the daughter-in-law wailing while holding the coffin.
According to superstition, if these steps are not done properly, the elderly person will not be reborn into a good family in their next life.
Liang Xiaohe thought she had Wu Meiyun's "Achilles' heel," and a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes as she said this.
Wu Meiyun swayed slightly.
Even if Wu Meiyun was very magnanimous, she was still angered by Liang Xiaohe.
Funeral procession?
She and Qingshan are still alive and well, and Liang Xiaohe just wants them to die?
"Slap!" Zhao Zhenzhu came out and slapped Liang Xiaohe across the face.
Zhao Zhenzhu has been putting up with Liang Xiaohe for a long time.
With the Zhao family facing imminent disaster, Zhao Zhenzhu originally intended to help her family escape the calamity before settling scores with Liang Xiaohe.
However, Liang Xiaohe became increasingly arrogant.
"You dare hit me?" Liang Xiaohe's face was full of disbelief.
"We've already fought, and you're still asking me if I dare? Are you stupid?" Zhao Zhenzhu sneered.
"Zhao Tianyu, your sister hit me, are you going to do anything about it?" Liang Xiaohe cried to Zhao Tianyu.
"You're asking for it with your foul mouth, why should I care? Do you want me to slap you too?" Zhao Tianyu laughed angrily.
Liang Xiaohe cursed her parents in front of him. Did she really think Zhao Tianyu had no temper?
Zhao Tianyu had just raised his hand; if Zhao Zhenzhu didn't make a move, Zhao Tianyu was going to take action.
"Zhao Tianyu, you good-for-nothing! Zhao Zhenzhu hitting your wife is like slapping your face. Don't you have any shame?" Liang Xiaohe shouted.
"Hmph! You, Liang Xiaohe, have already disgraced me completely. What face do I have left?" Zhao Tianyu said meaningfully.
Just thinking about Director Wang's meaningful glance today makes Zhao Tianyu feel like his heart is stuffed with cotton, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"You better help me fight back right now. If you don't, I'll look down on you!" Liang Xiaohe didn't understand the hidden meaning in Zhao Tianyu's words and was determined to instigate Zhao Tianyu and Zhao Zhenzhu to fight.
"Don't say you look down on me, I look down on myself too. I'm not only blind, I'm also a bastard." Zhao Tianyu raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.
Zhao Tianyu regretted it.
To marry Liang Xiaohe, a woman who has no sense of hierarchy, Zhao Tianyu defied his parents' wishes.
Last night, after learning about Liang Xiaohe's past, Zhao Tianyu even mentally defended her, thinking that perhaps... Liang Xiaohe's relationship with Hu Yong wasn't entirely of her own volition. He thought that if Liang Xiaohe changed for the better, he could still be with her.
But now, Liang Xiaohe, unable to get money, is causing trouble everywhere.
This isn't a wife, she's more like a debt collector!
No wonder his father said before the wedding that marrying an unvirtuous wife would bring misfortune to three generations.
Zhao Tianyu didn't understand this sentence before, but now he does.
A woman who lacks a sense of right and wrong can turn a warm and loving home into a complete mess.
Zhao Tianyu didn't hold back; one slap and half of his face immediately swelled up.
"Zhao Tianyu, you've gone mad." Liang Xiaohe's crying stopped abruptly, and her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Zhao Tianyu.
The tenderness and love that Zhao Tianyu used to have in his eyes when he looked at Liang Xiaohe were gone; there was only pain and hatred in them.
"Yeah, you're driving me crazy! Liang Xiaohe, are you satisfied now? Are you satisfied now?" Zhao Tianyu shouted the last sentence.
Liang Xiaohe took a few steps back.
Seeing that Zhao Tianyu's eyes were red, while Wu Meiyun and Zhao Zhenzhu had indifferent expressions, Liang Xiaohe turned around and hurriedly went out.
Liang Xiaohe dared not stay at the Zhao family's house any longer; she was afraid that Zhao Tianyu had really gone mad.
After Liang Xiaohe left, Wu Meiyun sighed and said, "Tianyu, it's getting dark, why don't you go out and check?"
Zhao Tianyu shook his head, walked to Wu Meiyun's side, and knelt down with a thud.
"What are you doing?" Wu Meiyun thought Zhao Tianyu wanted to plead for Liang Xiaohe, and her face turned very ugly.
"Mom, I was wrong. I want to divorce Liang Xiaohe," Zhao Tianyu said, looking up.
"Divorce?" Wu Meiyun's face was full of astonishment.
After Zhao Tianyu got married, whenever Wu Meiyun and the others said anything bad about Liang Xiaohe, Zhao Tianyu would immediately defend her.
Why are we getting a divorce today?
“Mom, Liang Xiaohe and I can’t go on like this anymore, she… she…” Zhao Tianyu’s voice choked with emotion.
To say that what he thought was love was just a scheme? To say that he had been deceived by his partner for years? Zhao Tianyu couldn't bring himself to say such things.
Just as Wu Meiyun was about to ask for the reason, there was a knock on the Zhao family's door.
"Tianyu, go back to your room and calm down. Pearl, I'm going back to my room now. Go see who's here," Wu Meiyun instructed.
Wu Meiyun was a little tired and wanted to be alone.
Zhao Tianyu quickly wiped away his tears and went back inside.
When Zhao Zhenzhu opened the door, she saw Granny Hua.
"Pearl! Will I be disturbing you by coming to your door now?" Granny Hua looked a little flustered.
"No, no, please come in, Granny Hua." Zhao Zhenzhu gave a bright smile.
Zhao Zhenzhu remembered that when she went to buy fried dough sticks from Granny Hua's stall this morning, Granny Hua had said that she needed her help with something.
