Chapter 342 The End of Marriage
"Brother Wu..."
Qian cried out weakly.
Yesterday, Mr. and Mrs. Qian had a big fight at Cao's house. Cao Wu had scratches on his face, and Feng Yinyin's face was still swollen. Today, seeing them come to block Chunxi again, Cao Wu's face was very ugly: "What are you doing here? What? It's not enough to beat me, you also want to beat my sister?"
Qian's father and mother were still gagged, unable to speak. Qian explained in a low voice, "No, we just wanted to ask what's going on between you, Ah Xi, and Miss Feng."
Cao Wu's face was full of sarcasm: "The fight is over, what else is there to ask?"
Qian choked and felt extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, Feng Yinyin stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. Yesterday, I accidentally fainted in front of Brother Cao's shop. Brother Cao was kind and sent me to the clinic. It was the clinic staff who took me to Brother Cao's house to rest. Brother Cao and I met for the first time yesterday."
Feng Yinyin's explanation matched Chunxi's, and Qian Shi felt even more guilty. She quickly apologized to Cao Wu, "Brother Wu, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive yesterday. I was just... I was just afraid that you would like someone else and leave Zheng'er and me."
Qian tried to grab Cao Wu's hand, but Cao Wu dodged her and said, "Didn't your parents say that if I don't go to your house and kowtow and admit my fault, they'll let you take the child and remarry? You're going to remarry, so why are you still bothering me?"
"I didn't, Brother Wu. You've been so good to me, I won't remarry. My parents just wanted to scare you. In fact, I've regretted it a long time ago."
As Qian spoke, tears began to fall again.
Zheng'er had been frightened by Qian's father before, and now when he saw Qian crying, he started crying too.
After not seeing him for a few months, Zheng'er has grown a lot, but he has not gained any weight. His little face looks thinner than before. It is almost the end of the year, but Zheng'er is only wearing a tattered jacket, which is obviously an old piece of clothing that Qian's brother and sister-in-law found from somewhere.
Cao Wu was not moved by Qian's tears, but seeing Zheng'er like this, his heart couldn't help but ache.
He was about to speak when Chunxi signaled the guards to release Mr. and Mrs. Qian.
As soon as Qian's father was free, he rushed over and slapped Qian: "You useless thing! You were wronged and ran back to your mother's house to eat and drink for free for several months. Now you say you regret it. Where can I and your mother put our faces?"
Qian staggered after being hit, and before she could react, Zheng'er was snatched away by Qian's mother.
Qian's mother held the child and said to Cao Wu, "They have been eating and drinking for free at home for the past few months. Even if you don't come to admit your mistake, you have to give us the money first before you can take them away."
Cao Wu's heart, which had just softened, hardened again. He looked at Qian's mother and asked, "How much does mother-in-law want?"
Knowing that Cao Wu had opened a shop and Cao Chunxi was standing next to him, Qian's mother asked for twenty taels of silver.
After Qian's mother finished speaking, before Cao Wu could say anything, Qian couldn't help but screamed, "Mother, are you crazy? Where did Brother Wu get the twenty taels of silver?"
Moreover, these days, Qian took the children to wash clothes and cook for the whole family. If she ate one more bite of food, she would be ridiculed by her sister-in-law. The rice she ate was worth at most a few dozen copper coins. How could it be worth twenty taels of silver?
It was not until this time that Qian vaguely understood that her parents did not allow her to bring the child home not because they wanted to support her, but because they wanted to take the opportunity to ask for money.
Realizing this, Qian felt even more ashamed. However, Qian's mother's voice was even louder than hers: "Are you stupid? This vixen has already come into your house, and you believe everything she says? I want this money for you and Zheng'er. What if Cao really changes his mind in the future? What will you and Zheng'er eat and drink?"
"Mom, Brother Wu wouldn't treat me like this..."
Qian retorted, but her mother didn't like what she heard and interrupted her, saying to Cao Wu, "We've already made concessions. As long as you give us the money today, we'll let them go home with you."
After saying this, Qian's mother twisted Zheng'er's leg, and Zheng'er started crying louder. Qian was heartbroken, but she knew that she could not convince Qian's mother and father, so she could only look at Cao Wu with tears in her eyes.
Cao Wu also felt sorry for Zheng'er, but after going through the ups and downs of running a shop for some time, he knew that he couldn't let himself be manipulated because of his soft heart.
If Mr. and Mrs. Qian can use the child to ask for twenty taels of silver today, they can use this method to threaten him to give them half of the shop in the future.
Once you give in, it will be a bottomless pit that can never be filled.
Thinking of this, Cao Wu's face turned cold. He looked at Qian Shi and said, "I have done nothing wrong. I won't give you a single penny. If you still want to continue living with me, then bring the child home with me."
Cao Wu didn't say what would happen if Qian Shi didn't take the child home with him, but Qian Shi heard the determination in his words and hurried to plead with Qian's mother: "Mother, this time it's my fault. I shouldn't have been so angry and went back to my mother's house. If you feel sorry for your daughter, please give the child to me and let us go home with Brother Wu."
As Qian said this, she knelt down in front of Qian's mother.
However, Qian's father and mother had been acting like fathers-in-law in front of Cao Wu for too long, and they didn't believe that Cao Wu could be willing to give up his child. They just thought that he was deliberately speaking harshly because Chunxi was here.
Qian's father forcibly pulled Qian up and said to Cao Wu, "Since you can give up your wife and children for money, don't blame us for being cruel."
After saying this, Qian's father and mother dragged Qian and Zheng'er away.
Feng Yinyin felt very guilty: "Mrs. Shen, Brother Cao, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble."
"Miss Feng didn't do anything wrong. It was me who implicated you and caused you to be beaten for nothing. I should apologize to you," Cao Wu said, then looked at Chunxi, "I'm sorry, Ah Xi, I didn't handle this matter well and caused you trouble again."
Chunxi didn't say anything polite, and asked calmly, "Brother, what are you going to do next?"
Cao Wu frowned. "I can't accept their threats anymore. If your sister-in-law can't make up her mind to leave her family, then my marriage to her will end here."
Chunxi had a huge quarrel with Wang before, and she even refused to enter the house. Although Cao Wu did not blame Chunxi, he sometimes felt that Chunxi was a little too cruel to Wang. Until today, he suddenly realized that if Chunxi had not been so cruel, she would be like Qian, unable to escape the control of her mother's family, and it would be impossible for her to live a good life with her brother-in-law.
"Brother, are you really willing to watch your sister-in-law remarry with her son?"
Hearing this, Cao Wu showed a look of pain.
He still had feelings for Qian, and he had watched Zheng'er grow from a little girl to this big. Letting Qian sleep with another man and asking Zheng'er to call another man father was more painful than digging out his heart.
After a moment, Cao Wu sighed and said, "A short pain is worse than a long one. If your sister-in-law really obeys the family's arrangements and remarries with the child, it means that Zheng'er and I are not as important as her family in her heart. I can only respect her."
Cao Wu made up his mind this time. Qian's father and mother went back and discussed it, and they also felt that they had to use ruthless measures to teach him a lesson. They quickly asked someone to write a divorce document for Qian and sent it to her, and also asked a matchmaker to propose marriage to Qian.
The night he received the divorce letter, Cao Wu got drunk at home and cried until dawn.
After Chunxi learned about the situation, he finally took people to the Qian family.
