Chapter 188 Go Back to Your Mother's Home!
Zhong Chengfa's face immediately darkened: "Then get back to your family! Our Zhong family will not tolerate you!"
Li Hongjuan's face turned deathly pale instantly, because she also thought of what had happened after she returned to her parents' home last time.
You have to understand that at that time, she was being ordered around by her own family to do all sorts of dirty and tiring work, and they weren't even letting her eat her fill...
“Chengfa…” her voice trembled, “You’ve really misunderstood. I didn’t make rice just because my sister-in-law came…”
She then looked at Sister-in-law Li, her voice pleading, "Sister-in-law, please tell me, did I already have the white rice steaming when you arrived?"
While Li Hongjuan and Zhong Chengfa were arguing, Li's sister-in-law watched coldly from the sidelines, even seeming to enjoy the show.
Hearing Li Hongjuan ask for help, she slowly replied, "Hongjuan is right. She had already started steaming the rice when I arrived."
Zhong Chengfa gave a mocking laugh: "You two are family, and your sister-in-law and sister-in-law have such a good relationship! Do you think I would believe you?"
He looked directly at Sister-in-law Li and said, "Back when the matchmaker introduced Li Hongjuan to me, you all kept praising her for being virtuous and capable, doing a good job in the fields and at home. And now?"
Zhong Chengfa chuckled, "This guy is lazy and greedy. He won't do any work in the fields, and he just does a shoddy job around the house..."
"Even if he wants to have a decent meal, he has to wait for his family to come..."
Zhong Chengfa's emotions gradually calmed down: "So, I really can't take care of your daughter anymore. Since you're here today, sister-in-law, take her back with you!"
Li Dasao was just watching the show, but she didn't expect Zhong Chengfa to seem to be serious.
Li Hongjuan felt like the sky had fallen.
She looked at Zhong Chengfa in disbelief: "Chengfa, are you really going to send me back to my parents' home?"
Zhong Chengfa was now almost expressionless: "It's not that I want to send you back to your parents' home, it's that I want to divorce you."
The word "divorce" struck Li Hongjuan like a thunderbolt.
Her voice trembled: "Chengfa, do you know what you're saying?"
Zhong Chengfa's tone became even calmer: "I'm not Hongqing, how could I not know what I'm saying?"
"I told you, I want a divorce."
Li Hongjuan was stunned for a moment, then screamed: "Zhong Chengfa, you're crazy, you must be crazy!"
She completely changed her previous aggrieved and humiliated demeanor, stood up, pointed at Zhong Chengfa's nose, and yelled, "Don't think you can be so smug just because your mother married Song Xingzhi! Your mother doesn't like you at all, and even if you divorce me now, she still won't like you!"
She was so angry that she paced around the room, then turned back to continue berating Zhong Chengfa: "Look at yourself now! You don't actually think you can marry another woman after divorcing me, do you?"
"No one will even want you!" Li Hongjuan shouted hoarsely. "No one will want you! If you divorce me, you'll be a bachelor for the rest of your life!"
Zhong Chengfa remained expressionless: "Being a bachelor is better than having a wife like you who's greedy, wasteful, and only knows how to support her family!"
Li Hongjuan became even more furious: "I already said, I didn't!"
Her sister-in-law testified for her, so why doesn't Zhong Chengfa, this mentally challenged person, believe it?
“You didn’t?” Zhong Chengfa’s tone became increasingly sarcastic. “Do you want me to list out every single thing you’ve ever done in the past?”
Li Hongjuan was speechless.
She had indeed done quite a few things in the past, such as taking things from her husband's family and sending them back to her parents' family.
But ever since she went back to her parents' home, she has decided that she will never do it again.
In fact, she never took anything back to her parents' home.
But the past is indeed hard to explain, so Li Hongjuan could only grit her teeth and continue, "Hongqing is only three years old. Without me as his mother, what are you going to do with him?"
"You don't mean you'll just stay home and take care of the kids instead of doing farm work?"
Zhong Chengfa's gaze fell on Zhong Hongqing, who was playing in the mud in the yard: "Then why don't you just let him come to the fields with me?"
"Just like today."
Zhong Chengfa felt that without Li Hongjuan, their lives might not be as convenient, but they would definitely be better than they were now.
Li Hongjuan was furious that Zhong Chengfa had actually considered this issue, and that he might have even brought Zhong Hongqing to the field today to test it out.
“Hongqing can’t live without me! He’s only three years old, he needs his mother!”
"Need you?" Zhong Chengfa turned his head, his eyes filled with icy anger. "Do you need me to lose the child in the rain and let him run to his mother's house in the rain? Or do you need me to take the child and follow Director Song when you have nothing to do?"
Speaking of this, Zhong Chengfa couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Tell me about the things you've done. What normal person could do such a thing?"
Sister-in-law Li was surprised to see her sister-in-law's remarkable achievements, and she turned to look at her in astonishment.
But what she didn't expect was that Zhong Chengfa's most important words were yet to come.
“You, a married woman with a child, went and followed a man, and that man was your father-in-law!” Zhong Chengfa felt increasingly frustrated as he spoke. “And yesterday, when we found Mom’s house, Director Song came to open the door, and you ran up and grabbed his hand!”
"If I didn't have any shame, I would have kicked you out right then and there!"
"How can you, a woman, be so shameless!"
Sister-in-law Li looked at Li Hongjuan with even greater surprise upon hearing this.
Goodness, her sister-in-law has quite the wild side!
Li Hongjuan was stunned for a moment, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, before she quickly explained, "I... I just wanted to find out where Mom and the others lived! That's why I followed Director Song!"
"As for yesterday... I was so worried about Hongqing back then, I didn't think about anything else!"
"Pah!" Zhong Chengfa spat directly. "You're worried about Hongqing, so you went and grabbed that man's hand? If Director Song hadn't dodged quickly, your hand would have almost touched him!"
His voice grew colder: "Someone like you, I'm really afraid that one day you'll put a green hat on my head!"
Before Li Hongjuan could react, he looked at Li's sister-in-law and said, "That's how it is. Sister-in-law, don't think I'm being stingy. Of course, with our family's current situation, I have to be a little frugal to get by..."
