Chapter 81 It's more convenient to hit people with a fire poker!
Zhong Chengren was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating.
He turned to look at Zhang Chunxue, his words becoming stammered: "Mom, Mom, why are you back?"
Zhang Chunxue looked at him coldly: "What? This is my home, can't I come back?"
Zhong Chengren swallowed hard: "Of course... This... This isn't something I... I didn't expect..."
Zhang Chunxue interrupted him impatiently: "What kind of man stutters like that?"
She tapped the sickle in her palm: "You just said you wanted to divorce Mingli?"
Zhong Chengren stared at the sharp sickle reflecting a cold, gleaming light in the sunlight, and he almost suspected that if he were to say "yes," the sickle would be at his throat.
He subconsciously took a step back before timidly speaking, "I... I feel that I have no feelings for Zhou... Zhou Mingli anymore... so I want a divorce."
Zhang Chunxue stared into his eyes, but her mind was racing.
She was originally thinking about how to ensure that Zhou Mingli would get the most benefits after divorcing Zhong Chengren, but now that Zhong Chengren has come to her, it's clear that the one who speaks first has lost!
Then she must fight for Zhou Mingli's life.
She glanced at Zhong Chengfa, who was cowering like a quail, and said in an increasingly cold voice, "I told you to divorce Li Hongjuan because Li Hongjuan is a selfish, greedy person who is always thinking about using her husband's family's things to subsidize her own family."
"What did Mingli do to offend you that you want a divorce?"
Zhong Chengren opened his mouth, but after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "She...she's a barren hen...she only gave birth to one daughter..."
Zhang Chunxue's face immediately darkened: "I also gave birth to a daughter. Am I also becoming your barren hen?"
Zhong Chengren quickly denied it: "Of course not!"
"Mom, you have three sons!"
"Ha!" Zhang Chunxue immediately snorted coldly, "Son? So what if he's a son?"
"Your older brother is a spineless coward. He's so controlled by a woman that he doesn't even dare to mention divorce!"
"Your brother is a street thug. What good things has he done all these years?"
"As for you?"
"You're even worse! Mingli married you, carried you for ten months and gave birth to your daughter, and now you're complaining about her!"
"I gave birth to three of you, and none of you are as good as Xiaoxiao!"
The two brothers were so scolded that they didn't dare to talk back.
Zhang Chunxue was also tired of standing outside and the sun was too strong, so she simply pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.
Zhong Chengfa and Zhong Chengren exchanged a glance and then followed them inside.
Zhang Chunxue went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and Zhong Chengfa quickly volunteered to start a fire.
Zhong Chengren could only move closer to her: "Mom, I really can't live with Zhou Mingli anymore..."
Zhang Chunxue sneered repeatedly: "Are you unable to continue living with Mingli, or do you want to live with someone else? You know the answer in your heart."
Zhong Chengren choked for a moment, then simply resorted to shamelessness: "Mom, I really can't live with Zhou Mingli anymore! If you don't agree to our divorce, we'll be arguing at home every day, and you'll get annoyed too, won't you?"
“I’m not bothered!” Zhang Chunxue said leisurely. “If you argue with him, I’ll beat you up…it’s just a matter of using up a few more pieces of firewood.”
"It would be even more convenient if we used a fire poker."
"That thing is durable; it can hit you more than ten times without breaking."
Zhong Chengren's face turned green: "Mom! I'm your own son! How can you always side with outsiders?"
"An outsider?" Zhang Chunxue's face immediately darkened. "Mingli gave birth to my eldest granddaughter, and you're calling her an outsider?"
Zhong Chengren was still muttering to himself, "She's not related to you by blood... of course she's an outsider."
He simply tugged at Zhang Chunxue's sleeve: "Mom, I really can't stay with Zhou Mingli anymore!"
"You can't bear to see your son suffer for the rest of his life, can you?"
"Mom, do you really want me to spend the rest of my life in an unhappy marriage and suffering?"
His voice even cracked: "Mom, you used to love me the most~"
Zhong Chengfa felt his hair stand on end, and he wished he could grab Zhong Chengren with fire tongs and stuff him into the stove to be burned.
nausea.
Zhang Chunxue fell silent.
Zhong Chengren pressed his advantage: "I know you like Yuanyuan, Mom. After I divorce Zhou Mingli, I'll keep the child and kick her out, right?"
"Besides, Zhou Mingli has a job now, and she's not unable to support herself."
"Mom, you don't need to worry about her too much, do you?"
He rattled off a whole bunch of things, but Zhang Chunxue remained silent the entire time.
When Zhong Chengren was tired of talking and couldn't find any other reason, he looked at Zhang Chunxue with some unease.
"Mom, say something!"
After a long while, Zhang Chunxue finally spoke calmly: "It's not impossible for you to get a divorce."
"But you've wronged Mingli first, so you should think about how to make it up to her."
Zhong Chengren's brows furrowed immediately: "I have to compensate her?"
"What else can you do?" Zhang Chunxue retorted. "She married you and had your child. Now that you don't want her anymore, you just kick her out?"
"Is there really such a good thing in this world?"
"and……"
She paused here.
Zhong Chengren quickly spoke up: "And what?"
Zhang Chunxue gave a kind smile: "And if you divorce Mingli, will you remarry later?"
Zhong Chengren immediately knew what Zhang Chunxue was worried about, and quickly said, "Mom, don't worry, if I marry another woman, I promise you won't have to pay a dowry!"
"I'll save up for the bride price myself! Is that alright?"
“That’s not what I meant,” Zhang Chunxue said. “What I meant was that no matter who you marry next, or how many times you marry, none of those women you marry afterward are allowed to enter the Zhong family.”
Zhong Chengren's expression immediately changed: "Mom, what... what do you mean by that?"
"Didn't you understand?" Zhang Chunxue's tone was very cold. "What I mean is that I don't acknowledge any of the women you married after that."
“I will no longer concern myself with your affairs, and they don’t need to call me Mom.”
"You can even choose not to call me Mom anymore."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Chengren's heart sank: "Mom! Are you not going to keep me?"
Zhang Chunxue maintained her indifferent attitude: "What use is a son who doesn't listen to me?"
Zhong Chengren felt aggrieved: "Mom, is it really necessary for you to be like this?"
Zhang Chunxue smiled at him and said, "I could abandon your older brother if he doesn't listen to me, so why would I abandon you?"
