Chapter 12 Do You Really Think He Dare Not Leave?

Zhou Xiaorou smiled and said, "Why are you afraid to go home? Aren't there you gay men here to see me off? It'll give you a chance to be heroes."

Two people were talking in the front room. The person in the kitchen heard the noise, stopped talking, and came out.

When Mo A'mei saw her son, she wanted to complain, but when she saw Zhou Xiaorou was there, she held back.

There was no need to make a fuss about what happened between a couple in bed. It would be shameful to tell others about it, so she had to get rid of the person first.

"What's up?"

Even though Zhou Xiaorou wanted to hear gossip, she now knew that the Shi family would never quarrel in front of her, and her own affairs were still the most important.

"Aunt, I'm here to take Jingjing home. I slept at your house last night. I can't stay like this forever."

Mo Amei immediately waved her hand: "Take it back, take it back, we have no right to interfere in your family's affairs."

Zhou Xiaorou immediately smiled: "Hey!"

She agreed and was about to step forward.

Mo Jingjing was so scared that she hid behind Pu Xiang, and Pu Xiang also leaned forward to block Zhou Xiaorou.

"Wait for Mo Yang to come back and let him pick up the child."

She will not give in on this matter.

Zhou Xiaorou immediately turned around and looked at Mo Amei, then glanced at Shi Dafu pitifully.

Zhou Xiaorou was as petite and weak as her name suggested. She stood there with a look of aggrieved expression on her face, while Pu Xiang, who was standing opposite her, was simply a strong woman.

He is big and strong, and behaves in a domineering manner.

Sure enough, before Mo A-mei could say anything, Shi Dafu couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Are you crazy? Give this child back to someone else!"

As he said this, he reached out his hand, wanting to grab the child.

Pop.

Pu Xiang was not polite to him and slapped his hand away.

"Mo Yang sent you and your father some cigarettes and alcohol every now and then. It was because he was not at home and asked you to help look after the children. Zhou Xiaorou beat his daughter with a bamboo stick, and you pretended to be blind and could not see it? You took and ate his food, and you were not afraid of getting your stomach upset! You are still distant relatives who are wronged!"

Shi Dafu only felt a burning sensation on his hand. Pu Xiang's slap was just like the iron sand palm he had practiced in the Shaolin Temple.

How could he marry such a woman!

She's simply a tomboy!

Shi Dafu was not tall, only about 1.7 meters, but he was not considered too short in the countryside at that time.

But Pu Xiang is too tall. With the same height, women tend to look taller than men. When the couple faces off, anyone would feel that Shi Dafu is not as imposing as them.

I was completely suppressed by my wife.

When Mo A'mei saw this, she was outrageous: her daughter-in-law actually beat her son!

This was really outrageous, how could a woman hit a man? She was so angry that she was shaking and reached out to pull Pu Xiang.

This old lady looked like she would fall half to death if no one pushed her. Pu Xiang didn't dare to have physical contact with her. She held Mo Jingjing with one hand and her mother with the other and retreated outside.

It was impossible for her to fight, but she could run. None of those people could catch up with her.

Zhou Xiaorou looked at the mess and tried to pull the child away, but she kept screaming and yelling.

"Third sister, third sister, you misunderstood me. You only saw me beating the child, but I really had to beat her. This child stole other people's things! Being a stepmother is not easy, how could I not know that? I also had no choice. If I didn't beat a child like this, it would be useless!"

Shi Dafu thought it made sense: "Pu Sanmei, let me go, Zhou Xiaorou did the right thing, why are you meddling in this matter!"

The group of people were in a mess. Shi Jiajie, the youngest one, saw that his father and grandmother had rushed over, so he also rushed forward with his fists clenched, hitting Pu Xiang's thighs and belly.

Li Xiaocao, the mother, was at a loss as to what to do. She didn't know who to persuade first or who to pull first.

The scene was so chaotic that it was unbearable to watch, but Pu Xiang's mind became clearer.

She didn't care about her mother anymore. Everyone here was coming for her anyway, and no one's attention was on her mother, so she simply reached out and picked up Mo Jingjing, turned around and ran out.

You absolutely cannot eat the loss in front of you.

Pu Xiang stretched out his long legs and walked very fast.

Just as I walked out of the Shi family's gate, a man came towards me in a hurry and the two of them bumped into each other.

Pu Xiang quickly hugged the child tightly, and the person who bumped into her reached out and held her arm.

"dad!"

Mo Jingjing's loud call made Pu Xiang raise her head, just in time to see Mo Yang with a frown and a puzzled look on his face.

The tall man reached out and hugged his daughter who was opening her arms towards him, and glanced at the group of people who were rushing over.

"What's going on?"

Mo Yang had just come back from a boat trip. This time, the boat owner he met had some issues with his character. He helped sell several sets of furniture, but the owner was going to default on his debt and refused to pay him as agreed. He had been working away from home since he was a teenager and had experienced a lot, so he was not someone who could be easily bullied.

In the end, he took his wages, stopped selling furniture, and returned home early.

But when he entered the house, he neither saw Zhou Xiaorou nor his daughter. The door of the house was open, so he probably went to visit someone.

Just as I was about to wash my face, I heard some noisy noise coming from next door, and I also heard Zhou Xiaorou saying something in a shrill voice.

Could it be that the person is right next door? What happened?

Mo Yang quickened his pace and hurried over, bumping into Pu Xiang.

Before Pu Xiang could respond to Mo Yang's words, Zhou Xiaorou panicked when she saw Mo Yang coming back, and almost rushed over to him.

"Mo Yang, you're back. You must be tired. Let's go home first!"

As he spoke, he reached out and pushed the person.

Mo Yang stepped aside and avoided her hand.

"What happened?"

His gaze moved around and finally fell on Pu Xiang's face.

Pu Xiang said: "It's just right that you're back, kid..."

“Ahhhh!!!”

Zhou Xiaorou screamed, interrupting her, "Third sister, you and Shi Dafu had a fight and wanted a divorce. It's your family's business. We won't interfere. Mo Yang, let's go back. Let's go back. Jingjing is scared!"

divorce?

Mo Yang's expression showed a hint of surprise.

Although the word divorce is not unfamiliar, there are hardly any divorces in rural areas, though there are still some in cities.

Rural couples who can't make it together drink pesticides or jump into the river. Some who are more open-minded just run away with their spouse, but without a man to support them, there is no such thing as a divorce in Shijia Village or even in the surrounding area.

Just as he was distracted, Mo Yang was pushed back a few steps by Zhou Xiaorou. He was holding his daughter in his arms and was afraid of dropping the child, so he just followed the force and walked.

Anyway, if Pu Xiang has something to say, he can just find a chance to ask her later.

It’s not like there’ll be no chance to talk after this point.

Zhou Xiaorou's heart was beating so fast. Damn it, why did Mo Yang come back early? He said he would be back in four or five days.

No, she had to persuade the man to go home first, and then fool him with words.

She had to do it before Pu Xiang opened her mouth to complain.

"Jingjing's body was covered in wounds. Zhou Xiaorou said she was beaten because she stole something."

Pu Xiang waited until the other person had walked a few steps before she suddenly spoke again quickly. This time, Zhou Xiaorou screamed again, but it was too late for her to cover Pu Xiang's mouth.

Mo Yang paused for a moment, turned his head to look at Pu Xiang, and then looked at his daughter who was hugging his neck tightly.

Some things are either unknown or unknown, but once they are revealed, all the clues in the memory will surface.

For example, after Zhou Xiaorou entered this family, her daughter became less close to her and her personality became more introverted.

For example, Zhou Xiaorou said that as the girl grew up, the father had to stay away from her and never let her take a bath or change clothes. It was impossible for him to lift the child's clothes for no reason.

Mo Yang had always thought that it was okay for a daughter, as she was not used to having a stepmother all of a sudden. It would be better when she was older.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Zhou Xiaorou hurriedly explained: "No, Mo Yang, don't listen to Pu Sanmei's nonsense, she just wants to sow discord! She is arguing for a divorce with her man, maybe she just fell in love with you, so she hates me and wants to frame me!"

These words entered Mo Yang's ears. If it was anything else, he might have to judge whether it was true or not, but he didn't believe it at all when he heard that Pu Xiang liked him. He knew very well what kind of person Pu Xiang was after living next door for so many years.

His hands had already lifted up the clothes on his daughter's back... There were long red marks and some bruises, which showed that she had been beaten with a bamboo pole.

Steal something?

Even if Zhou Xiaorou really beat the child because he stole something, why didn't she ever talk about it in front of him?

Every time he came back and asked about the child, she said Jingjing was very well behaved and easy to take care of, but a little timid.

Would a child like this steal things?

Mo Yang felt his daughter holding his hands tighter, so he immediately pulled her clothes down and patted her soothingly.

That terrifyingly gloomy expression made Zhou Xiaorou scream "it's over" in her heart.

Sure enough, Mo Yang's next words were: "Zhou Xiaorou, let's get a divorce now."

It was so clean and quick, without any hesitation.

Pu Xiang praised Mo Yang in her heart. Mo Jingjing also had a miserable life. If her father had not died in the dog stealing incident, her life would not have been so miserable.

While sighing, Zhou Xiaorou was already crying. She didn't want a divorce. She was remarrying because her previous husband had died. Who would get divorced these days? Would she still be able to live as a human being in the future?

Or because her stepmother beat her children and divorced her, it will be difficult for her to find someone to marry in the future.

"Pu Sanmei, you are the one who has ruined me! What hatred or grudge do we have for each other? Why do you treat me like this? You caused me to get a divorce, and I will never let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Zhou Xiaorou sat on the ground crying and shouting. Her voice was so loud that she soon attracted the neighbors next door.

The busy farming season is over and everyone is just sitting around doing nothing.

"What happened? Why is Zhou Xiaorou crying so miserably?"

"Mo Yang is here too. He's only been out for a few days, right?"

"Why are you scolding Third Sister in front of the rich family? What did Third Sister do to her?"

"Look at Dafu's expression. I guess the two families are arguing, right?"

"Hey, we're all neighbors, what's the big deal? Stop arguing, it's so damaging."

…

More and more people came, some of them were eating melon seeds and talking about all kinds of things.

Mo Yang bent down and whispered something in Zhou Xiaorou's ear, and Zhou Xiaorou, who was crying and shouting, suddenly stopped crying.

"Let's go, go back first."

Mo Yang didn't say anything more to the others. He stood up and left. Zhou Xiaorou followed him with a droopy face, biting her lip.

Just came over and the show was over.

The neighbors who were watching the scene seemed to be unsatisfied and looked at Pu Xiang one by one - ask the third sister, since Zhou Xiaorou scolded her like that, she must know what was going on.

Shi Dafu also glared at Pu Xiang fiercely.

"Why don't you go in? Don't you think you're ashamed? You've caused her to want a divorce. You're committing a sin!"

Pu Xiang replied quickly: "It's their business if they want to divorce. I didn't persuade them to divorce. But you have been disliking me since the day you married me. Why don't you just divorce me at some point?"

What, divorce?

The ears of the crowd who were eating melons all stood up at once.

"Let me in!"

If he wanted to argue, he could go home and do it. He couldn't afford to lose face in front of so many people.

"I'm not going. I want to go back to my parents' home."

Pu Xiang was about to leave when Shi Dafu immediately reached out to pull her.

Pop.

Pu Xiang swung her hand with great force, raised her arm high, and swung it directly on Shi Dafu's face... She did not admit that she did it on purpose.

In front of everyone, the man in charge was slapped by a woman!

Shi Dafu's face turned red. This woman was really crazy. She asked for a divorce last night and she asked for a divorce again today. She even used her hands to hurt him. Did she really think that she had given birth to a son and that she would be a great hero for their Shi family?

Do you really think he doesn't dare to divorce?

"Leave, leave now!"

Pu Xiang was waiting for this sentence, and immediately responded: "You go push the bike, I'll go upstairs to get the things and leave right away!"
