Liu clutched her chest, her tearful eyes fixed on the cold-hearted Tian Laosan.
He originally thought that by helping Tian Laosan get rich, his own good days would begin.
Who would have thought that this damned third brother, who never came home during the day and never returned at night, was actually after the vixen behind him.
Poor thing, she waited for dawn every day. Life was better, but she ended up living the life of a widow.
When she was suffering, he didn't complain about her poor food or her looks, but once she got rich, he started treating her badly and rudely.
Fine, he wants a divorce, right? She can grant that vixen's wish, but don't even think about letting her leave empty-handed.
Liu was utterly devastated by Tian Laosan's kick, and lost all hope.
She wiped away her tears, pushed aside her two sons, stood up, glanced at Tian Laosan, and then took a deep breath and loudly announced to the two elderly people under the eaves.
"You can divorce me, but my Liu family is not a pushover and will not let your Tian family bully us."
Her eyes shifted, and she pointed at Tian Laosan menacingly: "I, Liu, have served you like a slave for most of my life and even gave birth to two sons for you. I have already done a great service to your Tian family."
She glanced around the Tian family and continued, "Divorce me! Don't even think about kicking me out without a hundred taels of silver!"
After saying that, he sat down on the spot, crossed his arms, and turned his face away angrily.
When Yun heard that she was asked for one hundred taels, her heart ached terribly, and she habitually started to insult Liu.
"You're just a hen that only lays two eggs, and you haven't had a baby in years. How dare you ask for money?"
Yun pointed at Liu on the ground, hopping around and spitting at Liu.
"Our Tian family didn't look down on you because you're a barren hen; that's already a favor to you. You ungrateful wretch, how dare you ask for a hundred taels? Bah!"
"You dare to challenge me?"
Yun was furious and gave Liu a good scolding, but she still felt that she couldn't vent her anger.
Tian Laosan, who was listening nearby, also got angry. This woman has gotten bold, hasn't she? Daring to ask him for money, does she want to get a beating again?
"I'll kick you!" Tian Laosan went up and kicked Liu Shi.
Unexpectedly, the next second came the third brother's scream: "Ah~"
Tian Sangui, who was watching with great interest, suddenly realized that Liu had anticipated Tian Laosan's actions. As his leg stretched out, she grabbed his calf tightly with both hands and bit down without hesitation.
She usually treats him like her god and tolerates him in everything, but now that things have escalated to the point of divorce, why should she tolerate him anymore?
Does she really think Liu is afraid of him?
A man who is lazy and good-for-nothing all day long might not be a match for Liu, who works hard all year round, if they really got into a fight.
This time, Liu, no longer willing to tolerate it, slashed him mercilessly, and blood dripped down her chin onto the ground.
It is evident how terrible the treatment Tian Laosan was suffering at that moment.
In his heart, Tian Sangui could only think that Tian Laosan deserved it; if he hadn't acted recklessly, would he have ended up like this?
Some people, once they have a little money, lose their composure, become unable to distinguish right from wrong, and only care about the immediate gains they have.
When the Tian family realized that Liu was serious, the situation became serious, and men, women, and children all rushed over.
One group of people grabbed Liu's hair and pried open her mouth, while another group supported the agonizing Tian Laosan and pulled him back by lifting his suffering legs.
Seeing this, Tian Sangui was too lazy to read any further. The matter had reached a fever pitch. Judging from Liu's determined gaze, Tian Laosan wouldn't be able to get away from her unless she had a hundred taels in her hands.
Unless, Tian Laosan gives up the piece of meat in Liu's mouth.
He pulled his brothers away from the crowd, said goodbye to the Zhang brothers under the big locust tree, and told them they could go to town to help out later the next day.
Back home, Tian Laosi and Zhang Shi were still busy in the fields.
Tian Sangui was glad that the two of them were in the fields; otherwise, Tian Laosi would definitely have gotten involved in the matter of the old house.
"Big brother, second brother, let's go to the fields and help Mom and Dad!"
"Okay!"
Helping out is secondary; the main thing is to keep a close eye on Tian Laosi and make sure he doesn't get involved in anything at the old house.
Arriving at the edge of the field, I could see them busy planting corn from afar.
The couple were overjoyed to see their children return.
Chatting about everyday things made the work much easier.
She finished planting all the corn seeds before sunset, and by the time the corn was harvested, her restaurant would probably be open for business.
The family walked home in a large group, and on the way they met villagers returning from watching the play, who greeted Tian Laosi.
After a brief chat, Tian Sangui's worst fears came true.
"Fourth brother, why don't you go home and see your family? Your third brother is causing a scene in front of your mother with his new wife!"
The old man who was speaking watched the changes in Tian Laosi's face with an expectant look.
Knowing that he was a filial and honest man, Tian Laosi would always rush to get involved in anything related to the Yun family.
The Tian family was already in chaos, and now with the arrival of Tian Laosi, things are getting even more lively.
The old man, who always loved to stir up trouble, was adept at downplaying the seriousness of the matter. If Tian Sangui hadn't gone to check it out beforehand, he would have believed the old man's words.
Tian Sangui glared at him angrily, "That old geezer is wicked!"
Sure enough, Tian Laosi, who still had a smile on his face, became serious after hearing his words. He quickly handed the hoe on his shoulder to Zhang Shi and ran faster towards the old house.
Tian Sangui's heart tightened. He couldn't let Tian Laosi get involved, so he was about to call out to Tian Laosi to stop him.
Before she could say anything, Tian Laosi, who was running ahead, slowed down and finally stopped.
Seemingly having figured something out, he suddenly turned around and walked towards Zhang and the others.
While the family was still in a daze, he took the hoe from Zhang's hand, hoisted it onto his shoulder, put on a smile again, and called out to the children behind him.
"go home!"
Tian Sangui could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She was curious as to why Tian Laosi had suddenly changed his mind.
"Dad, aren't you going to visit Grandma's family?"
Tian Laosi answered her without changing his expression.
“We’ve already separated. Your two uncles will take care of your grandmother’s affairs. As a son I don’t like, I won’t be hanging around in front of them.”
Good heavens, the fact that Tian Laosi had such awareness truly delighted and surprised them.
Zhang and her sons naturally didn't want their father to get involved.
Going there with good intentions will not only fail to solve the problem, but may also result in being verbally abused by the Yun family.
They're not exactly idle, so why would they want to provoke the Yun family?
When she got home, she wanted to cook two delicious dishes for her father herself to reward Tian Laosi.
Seeing that Tian Laosi had finally grasped the meaning, Zhang felt relieved and a warm smile spread across her face.
Holding her husband's hand, with her children following behind, she felt happier than ever before!
