Chapter 88: So Strange
"Are they in trouble? They use their salary to support four children, and we use our salary to support not only three children, but also you two old people. Who is more troubled?" Qiao Chengting got angry when she heard her lying with her eyes open.
The two elders of the Yang family came from the countryside and had no pension. Not only did their other children not give them living expenses, but old lady Yang also found ways to take things from this family to support the other two children, which made things even worse for them.
Qiao Chengting had said it several times, but Yang Hansheng was a foolishly filial person. He believed whatever his mother said. Not only did she not accept any of his words, but he would scold her for being unfilial. If she angered him, she would be beaten. Over time, she became numb to it.
She had thought she would live like this for the rest of her life, but Qiao Mo's suicide by jumping into the river served as a warning to her. She knew that if she continued to live like this, her children might be even worse off than Qiao Mo.
"Cheng Ting, your mother and Han Sheng were wrong about what happened today. Just forgive them this time. Divorce will do no good to either of you. Don't mention it again in the future." Old Master Yang, who had been sitting there without saying a word, spoke up.
"Dad, I really can't stay in this family anymore. We must get a divorce." Qiao Chengting shook her head firmly. She was now resisting Yang Hansheng not only physically but also psychologically. It was impossible for her to live with him anymore.
"Then get out of this house." Old Mrs. Yang said loudly.
"That's impossible. This house contains subsidies from our unit, so half of it must be given to me. Also, this is the money Yang Laoer borrowed, and you must return half of it to me, kids. Leave it all to me." Qiao Chengting slammed a notebook on the table, which recorded the money Yang Laoer had taken from Yang Hansheng over the years. Of course, this was only what she knew, and there must be more that she didn't know.
"Qiao Chengting, that is the child of the Yang family, how could she go with you?" Old Mrs. Yang reached out to take the notebook on the table, but Yang Weihua, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, took it away first.
Yang Weihua flipped through the notebook and saw the numbers inside. His mouth opened wide, and then he gave Yang Laoer a thumbs up: "Second Uncle, you are so cruel. You almost broke your brother's bones and gnawed them."
"They are my children, so they should go with me. Besides, Yang Hansheng has to support his parents and brothers, so how can he afford to support them? How can they grow up starving?" Qiao Chengting looked at them indifferently.
"Impossible. Either you get out or stay at home and take care of your husband and children." Old Mrs. Yang said firmly.
"Yang Hansheng, what do you mean?" Qiao Chengting didn't care about Old Lady Yang. This was a matter between her and Yang Hansheng and had nothing to do with others.
"My mother's meaning is my meaning." Yang Hansheng didn't want to divorce Qiao Chengting. If Qiao Chengting left, who would take care of the household and serve his parents?
"Then there's nothing to talk about. Okay, I'll sue you in court after the holiday." Since they didn't want to talk, Qiao Chengting didn't waste any more words.
"Mom, let's prepare the New Year's Eve dinner." Yang Weihua looked at the people in the room and pulled Qiao Chengting into the kitchen. Although they couldn't get a divorce for the time being, they still had to celebrate the New Year.
However, they did not prepare a large table of dishes to entertain Yang Laoer and Yang Xiaomei's families as usual. They just made a few simple dishes, and the mother and children ate them, cleared away the dishes and left them alone.
