Chapter 197 - 197 Such a Moron
197 Such a Moron
Xie Daqiang grabbed Lady Ruan and pulled her. Lady Ruan struggled and failed. She then looked towards Xie Yunjin and shouted for help, “My third son, they want to prison me at home. Save me!”
Xie Yunjin’s expression didn’t change at all. Everyone inside the house looked at Lady Ruan emotionlessly.
This sight made Lady Ruan realize something abruptly. Her own third son didn’t want to acknowledge her as his mother. There was no way she was going to benefit from his government position later.
Lady Ruan’s vision went dark and she passed out.
Xie Daqiang easily carried her away.
Behind her, the four little ones sighed in relief. They were terrified that this grandma of theirs would actually move in with them.
Lu Jiao laughed at the children. There was no way their dad would’ve let that happen. She wanted to tell them that there was nothing to worry about but knew better than to let them know that.
“It’s noon, I will go make lunch.”
The First Born followed. As he walked, he said, “Mommy, I will light up the logs for you.”
These days, Xie Yunjin’s been teaching the four little ones to help Lu Jiao do more housework.
Though they couldn’t do the heavy lifting, they helped out where they could.
The other three volunteered as well, “I can pick the vegetables.”
“I will go with the Second Born.”
The Fourth Born yelled, “I will wash the vegetables later.”
The family busied themselves.
Lunch included rice, vegetables, meat, and soup. Everyone had a great meal.
Right after lunch, however, Xie Lan came to visit.
“Third brother, it’s bad… Dad wants to divorce mom. Come and stop dad.”
Though their mother’s been making a big fuss lately, as her daughter, Xie Lan didn’t want their parents to separate. What if her father divorces their mom and marries Widow Wang? They would end up with a widow as a mother.
Xie Lan almost cried thinking about that possibility and almost grabbed Xie Yunjin’s hand and dragged him over.
Xie Yunjin was annoyed. What was it now? Why did his mother constantly stir up trouble?
Xie Yunjin asked Xie Lan, “Why does dad want a divorce?”
Xie Lan whispered, “Mom’s been unconscious since getting home this morning. Dad was worried and went to visit. Who knew that the moment mom woke up, she clawed dad’s face? In a rage, he said he wants to cast her off.”
Honestly, after living together for so many years, Xie Laogen was worried to hear his wife had passed out. He went to see her right away, who in a rage and moment of irrationality, clawed and wounded his face.
Xie Laogen’s been clawed once and now clawed again. No longer able to endure Lady Ruan’s constant uproar, he shouted for a divorce.
Xie Yunjin’s face was gloomy after he heard the story. He didn’t expect his mother to be so stupid. At a time like this, she really should go along with his father and get him on her side. She shouldn’t be throwing tantrums constantly thinking she had the wager to.
Xie Yunjin looked toward Lu Jiao, “Are you going?”
Naturally, Lu Jiao wanted to go see the show. It would be a pity to miss the mess.
But she looked at the four little ones and decided against it.
The First Born offered quickly, “Mom, you should go with dad. I will take the brothers to Xiaobao’s place.”
He then looked at his brothers.
The brothers were rather happy to hear that. Lately, Lu Jiao allowed them to go play around in the village and they’ve been feeling kind of wild.
Lu Jiao didn’t stop them and only cautioned, “Remember to be polite when you are visiting others.”
“Okay, mommy.”
The four little ones happily went to play with their neighbor.
Lu Jiao pushed Xie Yunjin in his wheelchair and headed to the Xie home with Xie Lan.
Currently, a large group had gathered at Xie Laogen’s place, including the Village and Clan Leader.
Once Xie Yunjin arrived, people greeted them, “Yunjin and his wife are here.”
The leaders gestured for them to sit.
The leaders really dreaded dealing with Xie Laogen’s family business. The troubles never seemed to end.
The leaders truly didn’t want to get involved given how private the matter was. If they make the wrong choice, they would end up being the bad guys. Therefore, they were happy to let Xie Yunjin handle this.
The living room was filled with people. Xie Laogen cupped his cut-up face and angrily stated, “I want to kick out this malicious woman. I do not want to spend another day with her.”
Lady Ruan was honestly a little flustered. However, she didn’t believe Xie Laogen would really divorce her. He must be trying to scare her.
For so many years, Lady Ruan oppressed Xie Laogen. To ask her to lower her head now was impossible. She angrily glared at Xie Laogen, “Xie Laogen, you want to kick me out? Try it!”
Xie Laogen gaped back just as angrily, “I am definitely going to leave you.”
Lady Ruan’s face twisted up from rage. She gritted her teeth and jumped up to claw Xie Laogen again. This time, Xie Laogen’s heart did not soften and he decisively shoved her away, forcing her to fall to the ground.
Lady Ruan was stunned. This was the first time Xie Laogen had laid a hand on her. She didn’t even know how to react as she looked at Xie Laogen.
Xie Laogen avoided her gaze and said to the leaders, “I want to divorce her. She doesn’t deserve to be my wife. I only married her back then because she seduced me.”
His words startled everyone in the room. They all turned to look at Lady Ruan, whose mind buzzed and face whitened. Dumbfoundedly, she stared at Xie Yunjin.
Only now did she realize the severity of this matter. At the same time, she finally realized that this man had completely changed his heart and was no longer the man he used to be.
Many people started to mumble and look at Lady Ruan mockingly. So she was only able to marry Xie Laogen by seducing him.
Back then, Xie Laogen was young and eager when it came to relations with a woman. This was why he ignored his parents’ objections and married Lady Ruan.
People now recall that Xie Daqiang was born less than nine months after their marriage. This meant Xie Daqiang was a baby created out of seduction.
Everyone’s eyes now fixated on Xie Daqiang, whose expression was utterly unpleasant to look at. He glanced at his mother, then at his father. At this point, he didn’t know who to be mad at.
The leaders exhaled deeply and asked Xie Yunjin, “Yunjin, how do you think this should be handled?”
Though Xie Yunjin was the reason why Widow Wang was able to enter the family, he never truly wanted his dad to kick out his mom. After all, they were his parents.
Not even in his wildest dreams did he think his mother would be so stupid and single-handedly break apart this family.
When Widow Wang was accepted into the family, she was merely a concubine. If his mother wanted to control her and oppress her, it would’ve been easy. All she had to do was treat his father well. His father wouldn’t have dared to do much. Then, his mother could’ve still acted like the head of the family and simply ordered Widow Wang around. They only got here today because of her own doing.
Xie Yunjin could not understand how his mother could be such a moron.
