"Mom, what are you saying?"
Wen Jun gave her a disapproving look, still thinking about the police coming to investigate and collect evidence a few days ago.
"I don't have the mind to think about women right now. Not to mention that Cheng Wan is still in the hospital, the police haven't gotten any results yet."
"Do you think they might actually find something on that ginseng and kidnap us?"
Cao Tongwen was completely impressed by him.
A grown man is fussy all day long, even more troublesome than a woman.
"With your future father-in-law here, what are you afraid of? Even if we are detained, I believe Shanshan will definitely find a way to get us out."
"Stop overthinking. Instead of wasting your time, think about how to win over Shanshan and her dad."
Cao Tongwen called Wen Jun over to help her carry things. Looking at the yard, which was basically tidied up, she was very satisfied.
“A new home brings a new look, so we need to keep the house clean and tidy to be worthy of Shanshan’s status.”
"That jinx was so annoying. He left on his own, but his stuff is still taking up space in our house."
She rolled up her sleeves and started cursing at Cheng Wan, finding fault with her in every way.
"Junjun, go pack up Cheng Wan's things and throw them out. Just thinking about her makes me feel disgusted."
Cao Tongwen was hurling insults, spittle flying everywhere, and Wen Jun quickly shrank back to avoid her.
"This isn't quite right. After all, Cheng Wan and I were husband and wife, and we haven't officially divorced yet..."
"Just go when I tell you to, what are you dawdling for!"
Cao Tongwen glared at him and lectured him.
"You are kind-hearted, knowing to consider Cheng Wan's feelings, but has she ever thought about you?"
"The Cheng family actually dared to give us a worthless daughter who can't bear a son. We should be grateful if we don't go after them and demand they return the bride price!"
“Those things she left behind are probably not clean. You should take them and throw them away quickly, so that Shanshan doesn’t get tainted by bad luck and delay me from having a grandson.”
Wen Jun thought this made sense and was about to go inside to pack Cheng Wan's luggage when a clear female voice came from outside.
"What are you throwing? Did we give you permission to throw it?"
Cheng Xiangling walked in through the courtyard gate with a sullen face, she was so angry at this shameless mother and son.
"It's illegal to litter! Believe me or not, I'll call the police and report you right now!"
Although she is not very old, she is very quick-witted.
Knowing she couldn't win the argument, Cao Tongwen's face turned ashen, and she yelled something.
"You ill-mannered brat, who told you to talk to your elders like that!"
Seeing that Cheng Xiangling had come alone, she rolled her eyes and came up with another idea.
That brat is sharp-tongued; it's not surprising that you can't out-argue her, but you can definitely beat her in a fight.
Just then, Cao Tongwen, who harbored resentment towards Cheng Wan, was about to step forward and twist Cheng Xiangling's ear to give her a good beating and vent her anger.
But just as she rolled up her sleeves and took a step forward, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a scholarly air and possessing a very refined demeanor walked in.
To support his niece, Song Mingqian changed his usual simple attire and specially put on a suit and a wristwatch.
Her aura was further amplified by this outfit, making her clearly not an ordinary person.
Cao Tongwen swallowed back her harsh words instantly, and was just thinking about how to strike up a conversation to find out the other person's identity.
Then Cheng Xiangling turned around and stood next to Song Mingqian, tugging at his sleeve and complaining to him.
"Uncle, they said they're going to throw my sister's things out and they're going to yell at me!"
With her support finally arriving, Cheng Xiangling immediately felt much more confident.
After she finished speaking with her uncle, she turned around and made a face at Cao Tongwen, then sarcastically cursed at her.
"With such foul language, I think the one who's ill-mannered is you, you old hag!"
Cao Tongwen didn't notice what Cheng Xiangling was saying to her at all; she was only thinking about the "uncle" Cheng Xiangling had called her.
The uncle of the two Cheng sisters, isn't he about the same age as her?
They're both in their forties, so how come this man looks so handsome and young?
Cao Tongwen's heart was pounding. Having been a widow for so many years, she was never one to stay still.
Now that I see such an outstanding man, I can't help but have impure thoughts.
"cough."
Cao Tongwen cleared her throat, forced a smile, and tried to move closer to Song Mingqian.
"Oh, it's Uncle Cheng Wan. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Before she could even step forward, Song Mingqian had already taken a step back with Cheng Xiangling, avoiding her with a look of disgust on his face.
A sharp, cold glint flashed in his eyes, which were hidden by his glasses.
"You call Wanwan's name too?"
"Stand still. Xiangling is right. It's illegal to discard or damage other people's property without permission. If you dare to do anything again, don't blame us for calling the police."
Song Mingqian maintained a cold and aloof demeanor throughout, making him completely unapproachable.
After taking Cheng Xiangling into the house to pack up Cheng Wan's things and take them away, the two of them left without saying a word.
Cao Tongwen, whose heart was just beginning to flutter with romantic feelings, was reluctant to let them leave like that, and wanted to say a few more words to them.
"Uncle..."
Seeing her eagerly moving closer, Cheng Xiangling knew perfectly well what mischief she was up to.
She waved her hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly.
"Get lost, stop trying to curry favor. We don't have a relative with your despicable character!"
Song Mingqian showed no intention of stopping them, clearly indicating that he also loathed the Wen family mother and son.
"Once Wanwan recovers, she and Wenjun will go through the normal divorce process."
“She should receive every single thing she deserves, including her original dowry and the current joint property of the couple. I have written it all down, and no one can tamper with it.”
Cheng Xiangling, holding her uncle's arm, glanced disdainfully at the Wen family's old house.
"According to the Marriage Law, if the marriage has lasted less than eight years, the house is not considered joint property of the couple. So we can forget about dividing it, and we don't want this dilapidated house anyway."
"Don't even think about getting anything else. We'll have someone come and move things in the next couple of days. You'd better keep a close eye on my sister's things, or I'll make you pay for every single thing that's missing!"
When it came to matters of personal interest, Cao Tongwen's romantic notions vanished instantly.
Her expression changed instantly, and she put her hands on her hips and started yelling unhappily.
"You're extorting me! You dare mention the house to me? I advise you to give up now! There's no such thing as marital property!"
"Cheng Wan has been married into our family for so long, and she hasn't even given me a grandson. I'm already being lenient by not asking you for compensation, yet you still dare to ask me for money!"
Cao Tongwen slapped her thigh and started yelling like a shrew:
"I'm making this clear today: everything, including the dowry, belongs to my son. If you want that jinx Cheng Wan, take her away. We won't give you a single penny!"
