Chapter 84 Zhang Chunxue is a wicked mother-in-law!
Zhong Cheng sighed, "My dear brother! You have no idea, if I don't agree to separate the family, I will really get a divorce... and then there will be no one to do my laundry and cook for me."
Zhong Chengren also sighed: "Me too."
"If I don't agree to separate the family, I can't get a divorce."
Zhong Chengyi finally understood.
One of them doesn't want a divorce, while the other does. If they don't separate, neither of them can achieve their goals, so this family has to be divided.
Zhong Chengyi's heart sank.
Zhong Chengfa patted Zhong Chengyi on the shoulder: "Third brother, you should be glad! If you had separated from the family, at least Mom would have given you a house. Your second brother has nothing."
"He gave his house to Yuanyuan, and he still has to compensate your second sister-in-law fifty yuan... He's the one who's really in a bad situation!"
Zhong Chengyi's lips twitched repeatedly.
Zhong Chengren's face darkened: "Alright, stop holding back, I think your gums are about to show!"
Zhong Chengyi immediately chuckled: "Second brother, you really are in a bit of a predicament."
"But I really don't understand, if things have come to this, why insist on getting a divorce?"
“He’s got someone else outside!” Zhong Chengfa scoffed, his tone full of sourness. “The second brother is still the most capable.”
Zhong Chengren immediately became smug again: "That's right! Don't you know who I, Zhong Chengren, am!"
Zhong Cheng, feeling a bit sour, exchanged a few more sarcastic remarks with him.
Zhong Chengyi felt somewhat disappointed.
How can we separate the family? If we separate, will we still be a family?
Zhong Chengyi spent the entire afternoon trying to persuade his two older brothers.
To be precise, after learning their reasons for wanting to separate, Zhong Chengyi knew he couldn't persuade them.
Especially Zhong Chengren, who has already invested so much, is even less likely to change his mind.
In the afternoon, Zhong Chengren was tidying up his things at home.
He figured he'd pack his things and put them in Zhong Chengyi's room first, and then he could move in once he rented a house in town and got his marriage certificate with Meng Wanshu.
When Zhou Mingli returned from get off work, as soon as she entered the courtyard, Zhong Chengren rushed up to her with a smug look on his face.
"Zhou Mingli! I want a divorce! We'll dissolve our marriage first thing tomorrow morning!"
Zhou Mingli was stunned for a moment.
She told her mother about her divorce last night... Did her mother convince Zhong Chengren so quickly?
However, judging from his smug look, he must have wanted to divorce her for a long time.
Just as she was about to speak, Zhang Chunxue came out of the room and winked at her.
"Mingli, it's my second son who has wronged you."
“He’s having an affair, that’s why he wants to divorce you. To compensate you, I’ll give this house to Yuanyuan.”
"He also promised to compensate you with fifty yuan. I hope you won't blame Mom for the sake of this fifty yuan."
Zhou Mingli: "???"
What's wrong with Mom? Why did she give the house to Yuanyuan? And even give her money?
She originally thought that if she divorced Zhong Chengren, she would be lucky if he didn't swindle her out of money!
After all, she has a job now, and Zhong Chengren, who works in the fields every day, will definitely try to get money out of her pocket.
Knowing Zhong Chengren as she did, she knew he was capable of such a thing.
So this development was truly beyond Zhou Mingli's expectations.
But she knew that all of this must have been fought for her by her mother, so she was very grateful.
When Zhong Chengren saw Zhou Mingli's shocked expression and her incredulous look, he assumed that Zhou Mingli was also unwilling to divorce, and immediately spoke impatiently.
"I'm warning you! Mom has already agreed, so don't even think about bothering me!"
"Mom likes Yuanyuan, so you should take good care of Yuanyuan!"
"If you want to remarry, leave Yuanyuan with my mother! I don't want my daughter calling another man 'Dad'!"
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but snort, "Now you're complaining! You weren't that happy when your daughter called you 'Dad'!"
Zhong Chengren's face twitched slightly: "Mom, can you stop embarrassing me?"
Zhang Chunxue looked at him coldly: "I just can't stand your pretentious attitude!"
She looked at Zhou Mingli and said gently, "Well, here's the thing. Tomorrow, you go with Zhong Chengren to the brigade headquarters to get the divorce certificate before you go to work at the hospital."
"Although you are divorced, I will still give you a share when we divide the property."
Zhong Chengren was about to ask why when he saw his mother looking at him with icy eyes, and he immediately stopped talking.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingli's pupils dilated in shock: "Separate...separate the family?"
Her tone immediately became urgent: "Mom, is it because of my divorce from Zhong Chengren?"
Zhang Chunxue quickly reassured her, "It has little to do with you. It's because these three good-for-nothing sons are getting old and have become too independent, so I decided to separate the family."
She smiled at Zhou Mingli: "Have you forgotten what I told you last night?"
"You don't need to think too much. Even without this whole thing, the family would still have split up eventually. It just so happens that this happened."
Zhou Mingli finally felt a little relieved.
At dinner, perhaps because they knew it was the last proper meal before the family split up, the atmosphere was still somewhat somber.
The three sons were actually somewhat confused.
After all, they were raised by Zhang Chunxue from a young age, and Zhang Chunxue had always doted on them.
Although Zhong Guosheng passed away six years ago, men don't usually care much about household matters, so he left them all to Zhang Chunxue.
Right now, all three of them have the same feeling—it's like their mother doesn't want them anymore.
If Zhang Chunxue knew what they were thinking, she would definitely affirm them without hesitation.
That's right, I just don't want you guys anymore.
After dinner, since Zhong Chengren had already packed his things, he went to share a room with Zhong Chengyi that night.
He was fast asleep, but Zhong Chengyi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
The next morning, after breakfast, Zhong Chengren and Zhou Mingli took their original marriage certificate to the brigade headquarters to get a divorce.
There are no secrets in the countryside, so after the two told the official in charge of the matter, the news spread throughout the village in less than half an hour.
"What? Chunxue's second son wants to divorce his wife?"
"What is Chunxue thinking? She kicked her eldest daughter-in-law out first, and now she wants to kick her second daughter-in-law out too? Has she lost her mind?"
"Who knows? I think she treats her second daughter-in-law quite well. Didn't she even ask Clerk Song to find her a job before?"
"Who knows? Maybe the job will end up going to the third son of the Zhong family? Look at him, he's always doing nothing and doesn't like to come to work."
