So what right did he have to stop her from leaving?
"Guarantee what?" A glint of light flashed in Wang Erya's eyes.
"I... Er Ya, you've really suffered these past years!"
After saying this, Yang Gang slowly sat back down on the threshold, lowering his head even further.
Wang Erya paused, then she understood what he meant.
He has always been insecure and sensitive, just like he is now.
Wang Tiezhu scoffed, "Er Ya, he's just a cripple, a good-for-nothing."
If you can't even support your family, you're not worthy of being called a man.
What's the use of asking him?
That old hag is both unreasonable and domineering. Why are you still living in their house?
Listen to your brother, any family outside their house will be better than theirs!
Wang Erya was stunned. It turned out that her family had known all along.
Now I know what kind of life she's been living all these years!
But they kept turning a deaf ear and no one asked her how she was doing.
Now that they need her again, they tell him how difficult it is to stay in this family.
She suddenly felt extremely cold-hearted and felt that she hadn't been treated well.
She sacrificed her entire life for the sake of continuing the Wang family line.
But what do they take her for?
She looked coldly at Wang Tiezhu, "I won't go with you!"
Give me back my child.
"What right do you, as someone's uncle, have to take the child away?"
Wang Tiezhu was stunned; this was not what he had imagined!
He always knew that Wang Erya looked down on this man and that she and this old woman were always at odds.
Since he said that, shouldn't she stand by his side?
"Er Ya, didn't you understand what I meant?"
"I can't live with Peach anymore, so come back with me!"
Wang Erya shook her head firmly, "I won't go back with you."
Since ancient times, a married daughter has been like water spilled from a cup.
"How can a married woman return to her parents' home?"
Wang Tiezhu was getting anxious. Why was this brat starting to disobey him?
"Wang Erya, do you still remember your surname?"
Your surname is Wang, so you and I are family.
Our two families originally arranged a marriage between two families.
Now I don't want peaches anymore. The Yang family either gives me a bride price, or you come back with me.
If you don't come with me now, your family will look down on you later.
That old woman, she'll make things even worse for you!
Gou Dan suddenly burst in from outside, knocking Wang Tiezhu off balance. He glared at Wang Tiezhu with a look of resentment.
“You’re not my uncle, you’re a bad person.”
Wang Tiezhu raised his hand to hit him, "You little brat, you think you're all grown up now, daring to bump into me?"
"Let me tell you, wait until you get to my house, then you'll see what I do to you!"
Wang Erya immediately pulled Gou Dan behind her, saying, "We won't go back with you."
Wang Tiezhu raised his hand, but then hesitated to strike.
Wang Erya glanced at the Yang family mother and son, then at the two children, and shook her head again.
"I won't get involved in your business with Taozi."
Whether you stay together or not is your business.
I stayed not because of them, but because of my two children.
They are my children, so I must raise them well.
She reached out to Wang Tiezhu again, saying, "Give me the child. You can make a scene, but don't drag us into this."
Seeing that she remained unmoved despite all his efforts, Wang Tiezhu grew somewhat angry.
"Wang Erya, are you crazy?"
No matter how much I try to reason with you, you still won't listen, right?
You brat, you've grown wings and are starting to disobey now.
"Once your parents come, you'll still have to go back, and they won't be as easy to talk to as they are now."
Wang Erya gave him a cold look and said, "Even if my parents come, I will say the same thing."
When I agreed to the arranged marriage, I had already repaid my parents for raising me.
No one can use this to blackmail me anymore.
She snatched the child from Wang Tiezhu's hands, then took Gou Dan's hand and said coldly,
"Go ahead and make your fuss."
I'm making this clear today: your affair with Taozi has nothing to do with me.
If I ever divorce Yang Gang, it will be because I simply can't live like this anymore, and it has nothing to do with anything else.
After she finished speaking, she took the two children's hands and walked straight into the house without looking at anyone else.
Wang Tiezhu gritted his teeth in anger, but he was outnumbered and powerless, and there was really nothing he could do about her.
He had no choice but to vent his anger on the Yang family.
He shouted at Granny Yang, "Old woman, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
Seeing that he had been humiliated, Aunt Yang felt much better.
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
Since you don't like my daughter, then you two should get a divorce.
As for your Wang Erya, that's her own choice not to go back. What does it have to do with me?
Wang Tiezhu, no longer in a hurry, found a large rock nearby to sit on and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Old woman, this matter is not as simple as you say."
If you don't give us an explanation today, do you think the Wang family will let this go?
"You're just giving away a daughter to your Yang family for nothing?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Yang's smug expression froze.
Indeed, although the Wang family was poor, they were not to be trifled with.
If this matter isn't handled properly today, the Wang family will probably come knocking on our door tomorrow.
"My family has no money, even if I wanted to give it to you, I wouldn't have any!"
"Old woman, it's no use trying to bully me."
"Tell this to the Wang family tomorrow when they arrive."
Wang Tiezhu wasn't surprised at all by her change in attitude; the Wang family was not going to suffer such a huge loss in silence.
Aunt Yang's face turned pale, then green, then pale again. "Our family really has no money."
Even if you turn our house upside down, I still can't come up with any money.
You beat my peach so badly, and I haven't even asked you for medical expenses yet!
"How about we use this money to settle the debt?"
Are you playing dumb with me?
I haven't divorced her yet, so Taozi is my wife.
"I've never heard of a man beating his wife and then having her family demand medical expenses!"
Wang Tiezhu spoke as if it were perfectly reasonable, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with what he said.
Aunt Yang froze, her earlier smugness completely gone.
She had to admit that there was some truth to what he said.
How many men in the village don't beat their wives?
Gangzi was the only exception.
But after the treatment, life goes on, and no wife's family will come to ask her son-in-law for medical expenses.
"Tiezhu, let's talk this over!"
Wang Tiezhu looked at her mockingly. She had been so arrogant just a moment ago, but now she was even calling him Tiezhu.
"There's no room for discussion on this."
Your Yang family either gives us money, or our Wang family takes our daughter and nephew back with us.
Think it over carefully yourself. I'm leaving now.
Knowing he couldn't gain much by himself, Wang Tiezhu stood up decisively, patted his backside, and strode away with a flourish.
