Chapter 05 Let's Divorce

Everyone in Pu Xiang's family is tall. She is 168cm tall. Her frame is not big, but she is not thin either. This is the reason why her parents-in-law liked her and did not mind giving up the Pu family because the conditions were far inferior to those of their Shi family.

He is tall and strong, good at working and giving birth.

This is about marrying a rural woman to live with, not choosing a beautiful female star.

Pu Xiang was used to doing farm work, and her strength was beyond the reach of any thinner rural man.

When it comes to farm work, he is one of the best in his team.

She reached out and slapped Shi Jiajie on the butt. The child was crying loudly at first, but without shedding a single tear. Now, he was really crying.

It hurts, my butt is burning, it really hurts!

When Shi Jiajie really started crying, he stopped howling.

After being stunned for a moment, Grandma Mo A'mei rushed up and snatched the person from Pu Xiang's hands.

"What are you doing? Why are you so crazy? Why are you hitting a child for no reason?"

As soon as her mother-in-law made a move, Pu Xiang did not fight with her. As an old lady with poor health for many years, she was notoriously sickly in the whole brigade. If she accidentally made someone fall, she would be at fault even if she was not wrong.

Anyway, after these few hits, Pu Xiang felt a little relieved.

You can't really beat the child to death.

Pu Xiang has lived a lifetime and knows his own character: he is stubborn, patient and will never go crazy.

She caught Shi Dafu cheating on her several times, but she never went crazy once.

She is a person who thinks too clearly. Take Shi Dafu for example. What's the point of arguing and making a fuss with him? He will still go out and steal if he needs to. Arguing and making a fuss will not solve the problem at all.

What's more, she is not like some women who follow their men around all day long to prevent them from cheating.

If it wasn't for the children, the first time she was caught, she would have thought of divorce.

Pu Xiang had quarreled with Shi Dafu, but she had never quarreled with him. She had given up on this man a long time ago, but for the sake of the child, she asked him to be more restrained and not embarrass the child.

But in the end, her words were worthless.

It's of no use at all.

After her mother-in-law snatched the child away, Pu Xiang continued to eat the chicken with her chopsticks.

She hasn't finished eating yet.

Pu Xiang's father-in-law, who was as steady as a mountain, did not say anything to criticize his daughter-in-law even at this moment, but he also joined in coaxing his grandson.

In this family, the relationship between the father-in-law and the daughter-in-law is actually quite good. They have been living together for more than 20 years. He has always been very nice to Pu Xiang, never said harsh words to her, and always discussed things with her. Pu Xiang also has no resentment towards him.

Shi Dafu came back at this point.

The child is crying, the parents are coaxing him, and the wife is sitting there eating chicken.

Shi Dafu frowned and frowned: "When your son is crying, you don't hold him to comfort him, but let my parents comfort him. How can you be a mother?"

Pu Xiang raised her eyelids and saw that Shi Dafu was only about 20 years old and still young.

"He's not your son? You can't coax him?"

A chicken has two legs, which are usually reserved for Shi Jiajie and Shi Dafu to eat. Shi Jiajie has already eaten one, so Pu Xiang will eat the remaining one.

I finished the chicken leg in a few bites, then reached out to the upper part of the chicken leg, which was also leg meat and tasted much better than chicken breast.

Who wouldn’t choose the best?

Pu Xiang eats it with relish.

Shi Dafu became furious when he saw this, and he stepped forward and wanted to grab the person.

"Are you sick? What the hell are you doing?"

Pop.

Pu Xiang picked up a bowl in front of her and smashed it at Shi Dafu's feet. The loud bang not only frightened Shi Dafu so much that he stopped dead in his tracks, but also stopped Shi Jiajie from crying.

Crazy, really crazy!

Shi Dafu is a real idiot, but he is not a very courageous person.

Pu Xiang has been married to him for several decades. This man was a bit mean at first, but no matter how mean he was, he just talked and never showed any intention of using violence.

He was also willing to join in the fun of playing, eating, drinking and having fun with other men in the team, but he didn't dare to do anything bad, such as stealing melons or vegetables.

The Shi family was suppressed, so Pu Xiang continued to eat. She felt hungry and her stomach was empty, like a bottomless pit. She could eat two chickens, let alone one.

There was a brief silence, with only the sound of chewing.

Shi Dafu took a deep breath and murmured, "I'm crazy, really crazy..."

Seeing that Pu Xiang still treated their family as if they were empty people, the more he looked at them, the more it was irritating. Jing'er, who was originally frightened, calmed down and his anger rose.

"You are such an uneducated rural woman. You only know how to eat and eat. You don't even know how to take care of a child. No wonder, you are both junior high school graduates. Your classmate Zhou Fang is a kindergarten teacher, but you can only work in the fields picking up manure!"

Zhou Fang.

This name brought back another memory for Pu Xiang.

She sneered, "Yes, she is good, so good that you would abandon your family's work during the busy farming season and go and have sex with someone behind a pile of firewood."

This was the first time that Pu Xiang discovered that Shi Dafu was cheating on her, and the exact time was two or three days later.

Because of these two things combined, Pu Xiang suffered a great blow and the memory of it was particularly deep.

When Shi Dafu heard Pu Xiang's words, his expression changed immediately.

"What, what! What nonsense are you talking about? You are just full and talking nonsense! I think you don't want to live like this anymore. You keep gossiping with those old ladies in the team all day long. I think your brain has gone bad too!"

My father was also unlucky because he married my mother.

Pu Xiang suddenly thought of what her son said. She put down her chopsticks, raised her head and looked at the other person coldly.

"Yes, but that's enough! I just don't want to live with you anymore!"

Seeing that the couple's quarrel had escalated into a quarrel that threatened to break up their partnership, Pu Xiang's father-in-law Shi Hai stood up with a stern face.

"Okay, stop talking, what are you arguing about? Third sister has worked hard in the farm, eat more chicken to replenish your energy. Dafu, you haven't been working in the fields because you're not feeling well, so you should do some of the housework at home and help Third sister share some of the chores. There's nothing to worry about, the farm work is over, take a good rest and relax."

It is understandable that you are in a bad mood because your work is hard.

As for my son's affair with someone else, I can't mention it at all now.

"What are you slowing down for?"

Shi Dafu, however, did not take his father's step down. He just stiffened his neck and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Who wants to live with you? If you want a divorce, get out. My son belongs to the Shi family. Don't even think about taking him away."

If this was said when Pu Xiangzhen was 25 years old, it would have really controlled her, but now that she is 65 years old and her son throws her away like garbage, she will not be soft-hearted at all.

"Let's get a divorce. I don't want the child."

Her eyes were terribly cold, and to people who saw them, it didn't seem like she was speaking in anger at all.

Even Shi Dafu was a little intimidated by her.

The wrinkles between Shi Hai's brows became tighter and tighter.

Snap, snap.

The sound of chopsticks falling to the ground was heard at the door. Pu Xiang and the Shi family looked over and saw a short, middle-aged woman standing there awkwardly with a bowl in one hand.

Her pair of chopsticks fell to the ground and she quickly bent down to pick them up.

"Eat, eat?"

In the countryside, everyone holds their rice bowls, picks up some food with chopsticks, and many people visit each other while eating.

Pu Xiang recognized that this was Aunt Lin from next door, who loved to come over with her bowl of rice whenever she had nothing to do.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how embarrassed Pu Xiang was, she would always reply, "Yes, I'm eating," and then pretend nothing happened.

But this time, she kept her mouth shut.

Let her be embarrassed if she wants to. What does the Shi family's reputation have to do with her anyway?

Shi Dafu was not the type to smooth things over at this time. His mother-in-law was very patient with her daughter-in-law at home, but she was not good at talking to outsiders. In the end, it was his father-in-law Shi Hai who said a few meaningless words to others.

Aunt Lin accidentally heard such a big gossip, and it was not appropriate for her to stay any longer, so she found an excuse, twisted her round waist, and ran away quickly.

The Shi family didn't know why the young couple had a quarrel! They even said they wanted a divorce, it seemed like it was a big deal!

Tsk tsk, Pu Xiang is the same. The Shi family's conditions are among the best in the brigade, and they have given birth to a son. Now according to family planning, they cannot have a second child. She is really lucky to have a boy in this pregnancy. She is very lucky.

Just like that, she said she wanted a divorce and didn't want the child anymore. Is she crazy?

Aunt Lin felt that Pu Xiang was "confused" and was curious about what had happened. She wiped the chopsticks that fell on the ground on the back of her hand twice, continued to eat rice, and turned to go to another restaurant.

She had to ask if anyone knew what was going on.

…

After Aunt Lin left, Shi Hai knew that the quarrel between his son and daughter-in-law would definitely be spread, but he was not in a hurry. In this day and age, every family quarrels from time to time.

Not to mention those who are calling for divorce, there are also many who are drinking pesticides, jumping into wells or rivers. It's not surprising. In the end, they still have to live their lives as usual.

"Don't take what you say in anger seriously. Just eat your meal quickly. Don't be afraid of being laughed at by others."

Shi Hai sat back at the table and asked his wife to hold his grandson, who had stopped crying due to fear, and feed him. He glanced at his son and daughter-in-law and said nothing more.

His main goal is to make big things small and small things disappear.

Shi Dafu is still afraid of his father. Shi Hai is still the head of the Shi family and the financial power of the family is in his hands. Whatever Shi Dafu wants to do, he has to ask his father for money, so he has to be afraid.

After his father spoke, Shi Dafu had no choice but to sit down and eat.

In addition, he actually felt a little guilty. How did Pu Xiang know about his relationship with Zhou Fang? They had only been together for a short time!

The octagonal table was so small that Pu Xiang felt disgusted when she looked at him. She picked up her own bowl, picked up the remaining chicken with one chopstick and put it into her bowl, then stood up and went into the kitchen.

Eating in the kitchen is more enjoyable than eating at the same table with Shi Dafu.

"What a temper! No manners at all!"

When Shi Dafu saw that there was only a little chicken soup and chicken neck left in the big bowl, he immediately got angry again.

"You sit down."

Shi Hai said in a low voice, "If you keep making noise, you will make her come back to her mother, right?"

The daughter-in-law did not turn around and leave. She said that the matter was not a big deal and she still wanted to continue living her life. Talking about divorce was just angry words. Why should a man add fuel to the fire?

Nowadays, if a woman has a quarrel with the man at home, she just goes back to her parents' home. Although it may not lead to a real divorce, and there are very few who do, it is still embarrassing to make the scene in front of her in-laws.

As a man, doesn't he have to go to the girl's house to pick her up?

How can it feel to be scolded by your father-in-law and mother-in-law?

Moreover, my in-laws live with my eldest brother-in-law, so they are not allowed to bring things with them when they visit. Doesn't this cost money?

Shi Hai felt that his son was really bad at calculating. What was wrong with the daughter-in-law he chose? She was hardworking, honest and willing to work, and most importantly, she was very affordable.

The women he liked were short, thin and weak. They could be crushed to death by the carrying load, let alone carrying it.

He really has no vision at all.

If Shi Dafu's vision was not so bad, Shi Hai would be happy to fulfill his son's wish and would not force him to marry Pu Xiang, but he really couldn't bear it.

The Shi family was having dinner in the front room. Pu Xiang went to the stove room, which was an annex to the main house, right next to it.

Pu Xiang likes to be clean and tidy. Her father-in-law Shi Hai is also a capable man and good at doing things, so the kitchen is also kept clean.

Pu Xiang sat on the small stool in front of the stove, her hands and mouth busy. The white rice with chicken tasted delicious even after a few more bites.

She was thinking while she ate.

Is she dreaming in this situation? Dreams are not so real.

Pu Xiang remembered the TV series and movies she had watched later, as well as the short videos she had watched. Many of them were about time travel and rebirth. After watching so many of them, she was more or less familiar with them.

So, her current situation is that she is reborn?

Pu Xiang was thinking about it and pinched his thigh hard... Hiss, it hurts!

This doesn't feel like a dream at all.

So, she was really reborn, back to her youth?

Before Pu Xiang could figure it out, she moved her ears and seemed to hear some noise coming from next door.

Faint curses and the child's suppressed cries of pain.
