Yu Fengxian and Li Jianyue had just returned from Yu Fengxian's parents' home when they received a call from Li Xue. When she heard her say that she wanted a divorce, she was so scared that she quickly covered the microphone, fearing that Li Jianyue would hear it.
She whispered to Li Xue: "What happened? Why do you want to divorce for no reason?"
Today was originally the day Li Xue was supposed to go back to her parents' home, but Zhang Xiuying said that Li Xue and Xu Anyu had just finished their confinement and the weather was cold, so they would not go back this year. They would wait until spring and then take the children back.
Yu Fengxian was naturally pleased to hear that Zhang Xiuying cared so much about Li Xue and her granddaughter. She also sent some New Year gifts to the Xu family, hoping that they could have a happy New Year.
Hearing Yu Fengxian's voice, Li Xue couldn't help crying and started crying again. She sobbed and told Yu Fengxian what happened in Xu's house.
When Yu Fengxian heard this, she immediately became furious: "Their family is simply going too far!"
She wanted to take her daughter and granddaughter back to her parents' home and then divorce Xu Xiangdong, but she was afraid that Li Jianyue would disagree if he found out. After thinking about it, she said, "You can stay in the hospital with the children for the next two days, or I can find you a hotel. I'll find a chance to talk to your father and see what we can decide."
After hearing what Yu Fengxian said, Li Xue would be lying if she said she wasn't disappointed. She nodded and said, "Okay, then An Yu and I will wait for your news."
She thought, if Yu Fengxian hadn't been so weak, would her life have turned out like this?

Xu family.
The Xu family was particularly lively today. Xu's mother started preparing lunch early in the morning. Xu's wife did not go back to her parents' home, but waited at home for Fu Jin to come and propose marriage.
Xu Yanping specially wore the new clothes she bought before the New Year, put on blush and lipstick, sprayed a light perfume, and looked at herself in the mirror again and again.
The family prepared everything and waited and waited, but when it was time for dinner, there was still no sign of Fu Jin.
Brother Xu frowned and asked Xu Yanping, "Yanping, didn't Fu Jin say he'd come today to propose marriage? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Xu Yanping couldn't sit still any longer and said, "I don't know what happened either. We even talked on the phone yesterday."
She didn't dare tell Brother Xu that when she reminded Fu Jin to come home today, Fu Jin agreed, but his attitude was very cold.
Xu's mother said, "Yan Ping, go give him a call and see if he's been delayed by something."
For such a major event as an engagement, even if something happened, one couldn't be so late, otherwise it would be a sign of disrespect for the woman. Xu's mother knew this very well, but she didn't want to say it in front of everyone, so she could only patiently let Xu Yanping urge her again.
Xu Yanping quickly responded, "Okay, I'll call and ask."
The Xu family didn't have a phone, so they could only go to the newsstand at the entrance of the alley to make a call. Xu Yanping had just walked a short distance out the door when she ran into Fu Jin and Fu's mother.
Fu Jin and his mother walked side by side, neither of them carrying anything in their hands. His mother kept instructing Fu Jin on something, and as Fu Jin listened, there was already impatience in his eyes.
Xu Yanping walked forward and called out happily, "Fu Jin!" She brushed her hair and smiled at her mother. "Hello, Auntie. I'm Xu Yanping."
Fu's mother and Fu Jin stopped talking at Xu Yanping's sudden appearance. Fu Jin looked unhappy and asked, "Did you come out to see if we've arrived?"
Xu Yanping looked a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't come out specially to see it. I just... just bought some things and happened to run into you guys."
It was obvious that Fu's mother was not easy to deal with, especially her eyes, which looked her up and down. She felt like she was stripped naked in front of her and was very uncomfortable.
If marrying into the Fu family didn't require her approval, Xu Yanping would have slapped her long ago.
Fu Jin's attitude towards Xu Yanping didn't seem to be noticed by her mother. She said "Hmm" lightly and said, "Where is your home? Take us there."
Xu Yanping quickly led the way: "Auntie, this way."
Arriving at the Xu family's door, Fu's mother looked at the Xu family's somewhat dilapidated house and immediately showed a look of dissatisfaction on her face. She said, "Is this where you live?"
Anger flashed across Xu Yanping's face, and she smiled and said, "Yes, aunt."
She walked past the door of Fu's house and felt that the Fu family was only slightly better off than hers. If the old house was not to be demolished, she would not have looked down on their conditions. But Fu's mother came to look down on her.
Fu's mother curled her lips and said, "Forget it, go in."
The Xu family had already been waiting in the living room. When they saw Fu Jin and his mother arrive, they all stood up to greet them. Xu's mother even walked in front, smiling: "Are you here, my in-laws? Come in and have a seat, come in and have a seat."
Fu's mother folded her arms and snorted softly, "I don't deserve it, and don't call me that too early." She avoided Xu's mother's greeting, walked past her, and sat down in the main seat.
Fu Jin acted as if he didn't notice Xu's mother and the others. He followed behind Fu's mother and sat next to her.
The behavior of the mother and son made the Xu family change their expressions and anger appeared on their faces.
This is a show of force at their house!
Xu's mother still had a smile on her face, but it was a bit cold. She walked to the side and sat down, saying, "What do you mean by this, mother-in-law?"
Big Brother Xu and Little Brother Xu also stood on the left and right of Xu's mother, looking at Fu Jin and his mother with unfriendly expressions.
Fu's mother said slowly, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?" A hint of sarcasm lingered on her face. "You've gone through all this trouble, isn't it just to get my son to marry your daughter?"
Fu Jin is not a stupid man. After signing the letter of guarantee, he gradually realized that he had been tricked by Xu Yanping's family.
But the guarantee letter has been signed, and it is too late to regret it. I can only tell Fu's mother about this and ask her to help me find a solution.
Fu Jin's father had passed away early, leaving his mother to raise him alone. She'd endured countless hardships, and developed a domineering and overbearing personality. When had she ever suffered such humiliation? Fu Jin's mother was so angry she threw a cup on the spot, cursing, "A bunch of shameless, rotten-hearted people! You want my son to marry that bitch? Dream on!"
Fu Jin was so frightened by the cup thrown by Fu's mother that he shrank his feet. He wanted to correct her that Xu Yanping was not a slut, at least not yet, but in order to avoid being scolded, he did not say a word.
Even if Xu Yanping is not a slut, she is still a bitch. Who made her plot against him?
