‘When Chen Qiuying and her daughter asked these questions, even Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao became silent and worried.
This immediately made Xiao Zhengyang and the others even more anxious.
Xiao Zhengyang asked anxiously, “Dad, Mom, what happened to Yun ‘Er?”
Xiao Jingyang and his wife looked at each other. They didn’t know what to say at this moment.
After all, their second brother was celebrating a happy occasion. They didn’t want to rain on the parade. Yun ‘Er’s incident would affect everyone’s mood.
Before they returned to Taoyuan Village, they had already decided that they would only bring up Yun ‘Er’s matter after Ye ‘Er’s celebration was over. However, they didn’t expect second brother’s family to be so sharp. They didn’t say anything, but they had already spotted the problem.
Just as Xiao Jingyang was hesitating, Grandpa Xiao suddenly said with a serious expression, “Yun ‘Er is going through a divorce!”
“Divorce?!” Xiao Zhengyang and the others were shocked. “But Dad, why? Yun ‘Er has two children.”
Grandma Xiao said angrily, “That is exactly why! The Cheng Family is ridiculous. Since Yun ‘Er has two daughters, they are forcing her to get a divorce. And they want her to leave with nothing!”
Xiao Zhengyang immediately asked sharply, “What about the two children? Will they leave with Yun ‘Er?”
From what Grandma Xiao said, the Cheng family valued sons over daughters. So, technically, they would want Xiao Lingyun to take the daughters with her. After all, Cheng Feiping would have trouble remarrying with two daughters.
“No!” Yang Liu suddenly cried, “They won’t let Yun ‘Er take her daughters with her!”
“But why?” Mother Xiao said with confusion. “Doesn’t their family hate her because of the daughters? Then, why are they keeping the children?”
Xiao Lingyun had to leave with her daughters after the divorce. She would not leave them to suffer with the Cheng Family, who despised them.
Xiao Zhengyang asked with a gloomy face, “Big brother, what do the Cheng family want?”
Xiao Jingyang said, “They want custody of the two children so that they can send them away. They are afraid that once Yun ‘Er gets custody of the children, she will pester their son endlessly. It will affect their son’s future, so they are trying to cut off all future troubles.”
“What?” Hearing Xiao Jingyang’s words, Xiao Zhengyang and the others’ expressions changed. “How can they be so heartless?”
Grandpa Xiao and the others fell silent.
Xiao Lingyu asked at this moment, “What about Cheng Feiping? What is his intention?”
At the mention of Cheng Feiping, Grandpa Xiao and the others’ expressions became even uglier.
“What intention could he have? That bastard! When he was with Yun ‘Er, he promised to treat her well for the rest of her life. But after Yun ‘Er gave birth to two daughters, he treated her worse than a slave!” Yang Liu said with extreme anger, “One time, when Yun ‘Er was recovering from the pregnancy, I
saw him on the street being very close to a girl.
“At that time, I didn’t question him. Instead, when he retumed home, | pulled him aside to talk to him. He swore to me that he wouldn’t cheat on Yun ‘Er. The girl was a distant relative of his, and they were close.
“He said he wouldn’t ruin his marriage because he had his reputation to protect.”
As Yang Liu talked about this, she wiped her tears. She and her husband only had one child. They loved her dearly and wouldn’t let anyone bully her. Therefore, they were extremely selective when it came to her daughter’s marriage. They thought they had chosen the best man for her. However, in the end,
they were all fooled.
Now, they didn’t want money or anything else. They just wanted the custody of the two girls.
Then, Aunt Xiao continued to speak, “But three months later, Cheng Feiping’s affair started to spread through the town. We wanted to question him. However, these were just gossip. We didn’t have any concrete evidence.
“Therefore, we went to Cheng Family under the pretense of seeing our daughter.
“But when we arrived, we saw Yun ‘Er doing all the housework alone and taking care of the two children. The girls were only a few months old. Yun ‘Er had to look after them through the night, and she had to clean the house through the day. Our hearts broke.
“When Cheng Feiping’s parents saw us, they told us to our faces that our daughter is feeding off them. She gave birth to two failed investments. Our daughter caused them to be laughed at by the Cheng Family. Therefore, they were punishing her to be their maid. At the time, we were so angry that we
pulled Yun ‘Er and wanted to carry the two girls home.
“However, the Cheng Family was a family of bastards. They grabbed the girls before we did. They said that once Yun ‘Er left the door, she would no longer be the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family. She wouldn’t be able to see her girls anymore. That Cheng Feiping just stood to the side and watched the
show.”
“Bastards!” Xiao Lingye was abnormally angry. “Is this Cheng Feiping still a man?”
“Why are you only telling us now?” Chen Qiuying was furious. “If I had known, I would go find the Cheng Family to demand an explanation too.”
Xiao Lingyu asked, “Eldest Aunt, you said this happened when the girls were four months old, so why are they suddenly bringing up the divorce now?”
“Of course, it didn’t just happen recently!” Yang Liu said angrily. “At the time, we already told them we wanted a divorce. However, while the Cheng Family didn’t like the girls, they refused to let them go.
“Therefore, the divorce dragged on for years. Over the past four years, Yun ‘Er didn’t dare to leave the Cheng Family. Once she left, she was afraid that she wouldn’t see her daughters again. Therefore, she was tortured endlessly just to protect her daughters.”
Xiao Lingyu was silent for a moment and asked, “Hasn’t there been any chance to sneak the girls out?”
“Of course, there has been. But we failed.” Grandma Xiao sighed. “The Cheng Family is powerful in our city.
“The moment we brought the girls out, the Cheng Family sent a gang after us. They said we were human traffickers and beat us up. We were even detained by the police for half a month.
“The Cheng Family told us that this was the first warning. If we did this again, they would send us to jail for more than ten years. When we were in prison, they could do anything they wanted to the girls.”
Grandma Xiao wiped her tears and said, “The Cheng family has power and influence. They can easily pin these crimes on us. If the two girls were really sent away, how were we supposed to find them?
“or the sake of the two girls, we have been enduring the humiliation. Yun ‘Er, in particular, doesn’t dare to take her eyes off the two children.”
“These animals!” Hearing this, Xiao Zhengyang said with extreme anger, “They are really too lawless. Aren’t the police going to do anything?”
Grandpa Xiao said, “The Cheng Family is a local force, and we’re foreigners. No one wants to get involved. To put it bluntly, this is actually a family matter. So, no one will interfere.”
In the world, the most important thing was connections.
Hearing what Grandma Xiao and the others said, Xiao Lingyu became anxious.
She said anxiously, “Uncle and aunt, we need to go to Kanglin City now to bring Yun ‘Er and the two girls back here. It’s too dangerous for them to stay with the Cheng Family alone!”
Xiao Lingyu just remembered something. Xiao Lingyun did have an accident during this period.. The mother and daughters committed suicide at home!
