With a loud slap, Ding Chunqiu gave his daughter a hard slap. "Idiot. How dare you talk about your man like that?"
"He's always been incompetent. Last month when I asked him, he told me that his boss and his family attended all his brothers' weddings, but he didn't show up today. Only five women came and ignored me."
I told everyone that my boss would be coming today, but he didn't. How can I face my friends now?
Ding Chunqiu trembled with anger. This idiot was shouting so loudly; was he afraid others wouldn't hear him?
"Shut up, you idiot." He then turned and went into the living room.
He no longer had the same imposing manner as before, and was still sitting next to the pillar.
"Old Li, it's my fault for not raising my daughter well."
"I wouldn't want a wife like that if she wasn't properly trained," Han Mei said.
He stared straight at Ding Chunqiu, his face expressionless.
“Mother-in-law, you can’t say that. It’s better to lose ten temples than to break up one marriage. The child is still young, you can teach him slowly.”
"I don't need to say anything else. I'm putting this out there today: my Qihong will never do this. If you have the ability, then figure out a way. I'll take whatever comes my way."
Ding Chunqiu didn't know much about his mother-in-law, only that she worked, and assumed she was just an ordinary housewife.
"Old Li, is this what your house is like?"
"Yes, that's how it is in my family. My wife is in charge of everything."
Ding Chunqiu was speechless. "We don't agree to the divorce. My daughter is perfectly fine, how can you treat her like this? We don't agree to the divorce."
Han Mei slowly put down her teacup. "It's alright. My son will just have to wait two more years. The Marriage Law stipulates that if one party does not agree to a divorce, then after two years of not living together, a divorce can be granted. We can wait. And as for what kind of trouble you want to cause, I'll say it again: I'll take it."
"Mother-in-law, this child made a mistake, please give her another chance." Ma Lan pulled Ding Xiaowei in, immediately adopting a submissive and ingratiating posture.
"Don't call me that anymore, I don't deserve it. My son is useless, we are not worthy of his status. I am also quite afraid of the Ding family, but it has made me decide that I can't let my son suffer from his wife's temper for the rest of his life."
We're not capable enough, so we'll live an ordinary life. My son won't stoop to the level of your Ding family.
Upon hearing this, Ma Lan knew that this woman's approach wouldn't work, so she looked at the pillar.
"Brother Li, didn't you promise me you'd treat Xiao Wei well? How could this happen?" she said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zi glanced at Han Mei subconsciously; his wife's face remained expressionless.
"Hmph, I did say I would treat Xiaowei like my own daughter, but that's only if she's worthy. She doesn't even care about my son anymore, so what more do you expect me to do for her?"
The Ding couple knew that today's matter could not be resolved peacefully.
"Old Li, I know Xiao Wei was wrong. Let's stop here for today and talk about it tomorrow. Let's not resolve this while we're angry."
Zhu Zi didn't speak, and Han Mei ignored him completely.
"We'll head back now and come back tomorrow." With that, he turned and left.
Ma Lan followed behind her husband, ignoring Ding Xiaowei.
"Wait a minute, take your family back." Han Mei stood up.
Just then, the photographer arrived and respectfully handed the videotape to Han Mei.
"Thank you, I appreciate your help."
"Wait a moment, watch the video before you leave."
After watching the video, Ding Chunqiu's face turned red, partly from anger and partly from fright. This damned bastard dared to give Madam a hard time.
But at this point, there's absolutely no room for maneuver.
"Come on, come back with us." Ding Chunqiu suppressed his anger.
The mother and daughter were terrified. They both knew what kind of husband the father was, and the father was really furious.
"I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning," Han Mei said after they turned to leave.
After the rest of the family left, only the two of them remained.
"Honey, don't be angry. I was also fooled by them."
"You're always like this. Fine, you don't need to say anything more. We'll talk about it after this is resolved."
"Wife, where's our son?"
Han Mei completely ignored him and turned back to her room.
Zhu Zi sat in the living room. This day, which should have been joyous, had turned into this.
Actually, he just liked the feeling of being flattered by the Ding couple, so he spent a lot of time at their house. He really didn't intend to do anything bad to his son.
Qi Hong stormed out of his house in a rage and went straight to Liu Maocai's house.
Ping An opened the door and was startled to see Qi Hong. "Qi Hong, what are you doing here?"
"Cousin, I'll be living here from now on."
"Come in first and we'll talk."
Qi Hong entered the living room with his head down. The whole family was there, talking about the wedding banquet. San Ya was trying to persuade her mother.
"Qihong, what brings you here?"
"Grandma, I want a divorce. I can't keep a daughter-in-law like this."
Upon hearing the child's words, Li Cuihua burst into tears, which frightened Tingting. The little girl helped Li Cuihua wipe away her tears.
Sanya stood up and pulled Qihong to sit next to Li Cuihua.
"Qihong, my poor child, your father is a fool."
"Grandma, don't cry, it's alright. It's better to find out now than later." Qi Hong also helped Li Cuihua wipe away her tears.
Jiang Yan and Liu Xu also tried to comfort him. Liu Maocai coughed. "Alright, stop crying, or you'll run out of breath again."
Silence fell over the living room. No one knew what to say.
"Qihong, you've run away like this, what about your family?"
"My parents are both home, my mom will definitely handle it."
"Yes, your mother is a sensible person. Qihong, if he's immature, you can teach him slowly. Does he really have to get a divorce?"
"Auntie, Ding Xiaowei looks down on me, how am I supposed to live like this?"
"Look down on you?"
"Yes, because my uncle and brothers didn't come, she said I was useless and that I embarrassed her."
Liu Jianguo jumped up and said, "Qihong, we can't have a woman like that no matter what."
Cheng Guangxu nodded, "Yes, Qihong is right. It's better to find out now than to find out after we're actually together."
Qihong, you two aren't really together, are you?
"No, I didn't dislike her before, but I didn't like her much either. Also, I have to work at the logistics company every day, so we don't have time to be together."
"That makes things easier. Don't be angry. This should be easy to resolve. At worst, it's just a matter of spending money."
"Uncle, I know. I'm not angry anymore. Mom will definitely handle it. It's just my dad's problem."
Li Cuihua has calmed down now. "It's alright, Ping An. You drive me to Qi Hong's house."
"Mom, it's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow," Song Zigan quickly advised.
