"This is called 'those who do many evil deeds will surely perish.' Whoever marries into their family will be in big trouble."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Meng Xin quickly kowtowed to Xiao Wenjing and admitted his mistake, "Father-in-law, I was wrong. I shouldn't have... allowed A-Xin to beat Xue Mei."
Shen Yunsheng sneered, "I'm afraid the person who beat up my older sister wasn't just that scumbag; you were probably involved too."
"I...I didn't..." Meng Shouyi guiltily avoided Shen Yunsheng's gaze. He didn't care about Xiao Wenjing and his wife at all; he was mainly worried that Shen Yunsheng and his wife wouldn't let him off the hook.
He heard from his friends in Yanzi Town that Xiao Jingchuan had powerful backers, and even the wealthy Huang family in Yanzi Town treated him with respect. He dared not risk his son's life.
Xiao Jingchuan looked at the older woman with a deep gaze and asked, "Sister, has this old man ever hit you?"
Xiao Xuemei trembled upon hearing her brother's question. She lowered her head and nodded slightly. Seeing this, Xiao Jingchuan was enraged. He glared at Meng Shouyi, wishing he could tear him apart.
"Well, you old scoundrel, how dare you bully my eldest sister!" Xiao Jingchuan stepped forward and grabbed Meng Shouyi by the collar.
Meng Shouyi looked at Xiao Jingchuan in horror. He tried to break free, but to no avail.
"I will make you pay for what you have done!" Xiao Jingchuan raised his fist, ready to punch Meng Shouyi.
"Wait, little brother!" Xiao Xuemei hurriedly grabbed her brother's arm. "Forget it, don't make things worse."
Xiao Jingchuan stopped what he was doing, looked at his eldest sister, and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.
"Big sister, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can bully you anymore," Xiao Jingchuan comforted her.
Xiao Xuemei was moved to tears. She nodded and said, "I know, but I don't want to cause any more trouble."
Xiao Jingchuan understood his elder sister's concerns. He took a deep breath and loosened his grip on Meng Shouyi's collar.
"Today, I will spare you for the time being. As long as you write a letter of divorce, the feud between our two families will be wiped clean."
Before her husband could finish speaking, Shen Yunsheng quietly took out a pen and paper from her spatial storage and slammed them down in front of Meng Xin.
"You scumbag, hurry up and write!"
Meng Xin clenched his fists and sneered angrily, "I...I agree to a divorce, but you can forget about taking Xiaoyu and Ayao away. Even if you report it to the authorities, they won't give them to you."
Meng Shouyi seized the opportunity to chime in, “Jingchuan’s family, no matter how powerful you are, you can’t beat the laws of Longhai. Our dynasty has clearly stipulated that if a couple divorces, the minor children must go to the man. If the woman wants the children, she must ask the man’s opinion. Only if the man agrees can the woman take the children away.”
Shen Yunsheng was secretly worried. The Longhai Dynasty did indeed have this unequal marriage law. If these two scumbags fought to the bitter end, force alone could not solve the fundamental problem.
Fearing that his eldest sister might waver in her resolve to divorce, Xiao Jingchuan sternly interrupted the Meng father and son, "Stop talking to me about the law, just state your terms."
