"I have to kowtow to Wang Qian and flatter her, just like my father does to you. Every time she visits her parents' home, I have to go to her house and be ridiculed and scolded by her family. Are you willing to watch me suffer like this? The Wang family might even let me become a son-in-law. Do you want the son you raised with so much effort to become a joke and be called a gigolo?"
"Even if you're willing, I don't want to. You said their family could help me find a job. Yes, I admit I don't want to live a hard life facing the earth and back to the sky every day. I also want to read the newspaper, drink tea and eat the royal food. But, mother, how can the food fed by others be as enjoyable as the food you eat with your own spoon? It's either soup, cold, or even rotten."
"Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, I want to get into university based on my own abilities. Then I can marry a girl I like."
"Well said!" Chen Dingguo applauded, his face brimming with satisfaction. "This is what a descendant of the Chen family should be like."
"Bullshit!" Zhao Caifeng slapped Chen Jiadong in the face. "Chen Jiadong, are you crazy? Who taught you all this nonsense? Can you eat your guts? Can't you see what your father and I have been through these years? I've only been away from home for a few days, how did you become like this?"
Zhao Caifeng was heartbroken. "I shouldn't have let you stay with the Chen family! None of them are good people."
"I think Jiadong is doing well the way he is." Chen Shanlin and Chen Shanhe stepped into the yard at the same time and walked through the crowd of onlookers. "Zhao Caifeng, is it that our whole family is not good, or is there something wrong with you?!"
Chen Shanlin stopped in front of Zhao Caifeng, and Chen Shanhe walked to Jiang Shiyue. His eyes seemed to glance at her unintentionally, and he breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible sigh.
Jiang Shiyue asked quietly, "Did you notify your childhood friend to come over?"
Otherwise, how could he have arrived so promptly and brought a letter?!
Who would carry a letter given by someone else when going out?
Maybe even the neighbors were greeted by Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe nodded. "Since my brother wants a divorce, it would be better to deal with it as soon as possible."
He didn't want any mess to affect his wedding.
Jiang Shiyue suddenly had an idea, narrowed her eyes, and questioned Chen Shanhe: "Are you the mastermind behind Zhao Caifeng? Did you give her the idea?"
Chen Shanhe shook his head in denial, "How could she listen to me?"
Jiang Shiyue looked at Chen Shanhe suspiciously, thinking that he was the one who was causing trouble.
Zhao Caifeng really wouldn't listen to Chen Shanhe, but Chen Shanhe could use other people's mouths to make Zhao Caifeng obedient and make trouble.
He not only calculated that Zhao Caifeng would be obedient, but also calculated how she would deal with Zhao Caifeng, so his childhood friend came so timely.
The more Jiang Shiyue thought about it, the angrier she became as she felt that her guess was right. She snorted at Chen Shanhe, turned her head away and ignored him, looking at Chen Shanlin and his family of three.
Chen Shanhe: “…”
"Zhao Caifeng, it's perfect. All the neighbors are here today to be witnesses. We are getting divorced! The division of the property will be done as we agreed before. Except for these three houses, you can take away anything else you like. If there is any savings at home, they will all belong to you." Chen Shanlin spoke slowly, but with great determination.
"Chen Shanlin!" Zhao Caifeng burst into tears. "Are you trying to force me to death? How important is a woman's reputation? You filed for divorce in public? Why didn't you just stab me to death?"
"Do you know now that a woman's reputation is important? Why didn't you mention it when you were throwing dirty water on Miss Wang Qian? Is a woman's reputation important, but a man's reputation isn't? Over the years, you've called me a loser and said I wasn't a man, and I put up with it. You've always called my parents old and incorrigible, and I put up with it for the sake of family harmony. But is our family harmonious? All you get in return is you become even more aggressive. As soon as you received a letter, you dragged my disabled mother thousands of miles to ask my brother for money.
Shanhe is back now and wants to get married, and you're eyeing his wedding house, and you even want Jiadong to be his son-in-law! Let me ask you, if Chen Jiadong really did marry Miss Wang Qian, with your personality, how would you let him survive stuck between you and Wang Qian? Are you trying to force him to death?
I have lived half my life on my knees, and I don’t want my son to kneel again!”
Zhao Caifeng opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.
Wang Qian, on the other hand, cried and stamped her feet, "I will never marry into your Chen family! You are such a bully."
Jiang Shiyue spoke at the right time: "Wang Qian, what does your skirt look like? Is it a light blue dress?"
Wang Qian sobbed and nodded: "Yes."
"The clothes are indeed mine. I couldn't find them after an accident on the train. I thought they were lost, but I didn't expect..."
Jiang Shiyue didn't finish her words, but everyone understood that it was not lost but stolen.
Jiang Shiyue and Wang Qian don't know each other.
Only Zhao Caifeng and Jiang Shiyue had taken the same train.
She stole it.
Seeing the truth revealed, Liu Jianping asked Wang Qian to go home, pick up the skirt and go to the police station to find him, and then asked Zhao Caifeng to go with him to the police station to examine her injuries, take a statement, and deal with her problems.
Zhao Caifeng refused. After half a day, the pain in her body had gone and no injuries could be found.
First cry, then make a fuss, then hang yourself.
It's just a trick he usually plays, and it has no deterrent effect at a time like this.
Zhao Caifeng was eventually forcibly handcuffed and taken away by Liu Jianping.
Before leaving, Zhao Caifeng looked at Chen Jiadong blankly, "Jiadong, why on earth? You weren't like this before. Did Jiang Shiyue teach you to be bad?"
"Mom. You've been the best to me in this world, but it doesn't mean that what others taught me is bad." Chen Jiadong said, "I'm in my early twenties and can tell right from wrong."
"Jiang Shiyue! You instigated my son to go against me. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!"
Jiang Shiyue said nothing, just waved at her.
Zhao Caifeng's behavior does not constitute a serious crime; it is more of a moral issue.
Chen Shanlin and Chen Jiadong followed Liu Jianping to the guesthouse. As family members, they had to sign as guarantors.
The onlookers left satisfied after having had enough of the melon.
Li Chuntian pulled Jiang Shiyue towards the new house, "Did you really teach Chen Jiadong? How did you do it?"
She did not forget that when she first came to the Chen family, Chen Jiadong was still a giant baby who kept saying "My mother..."
"I'm not his parents, so why should I teach him? I just gave him a brief introduction to what a live-in son-in-law is. Let him imagine that with his mother's personality, he and the equally spoiled Wang Qian live together as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and ask him which side he will stand on then?" Jiang Shiyue said calmly.
In fact, it is an unsolvable problem of who to save when a mother and her daughter-in-law fall into the water.
There is also the most common problem faced by married men: who should he support when his mother and wife fight?
"Is it that simple?" Li Chuntian was unconvinced. "Chen Jiadong isn't someone with such a long-term vision."
