The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1194 - 1163: Disappointment, Berate

Although Zhu Zhibin also wanted to stay, he noticed that Boss remained silent and his expression seemed somewhat unnatural, so he hurriedly said, "It’s better not to stay after all; this is Sister-in-law’s home..."

"What belongs to your sister-in-law also belongs to your brother, and your brother was carried by me for ten months before I gave birth to him; naturally, he must listen to me," Mother Zhu said proudly. In this house, she was the one who had the final say.

Hearing his mother speak like this, Zhu Zhitao felt disgusted, to say nothing of the others; he scoffed lightly, "Heh, this time you don’t get a say. No one can stay here anymore, Xiaoqiang also can’t come here to attend school."

"You shut up, Zhibin is your own brother, Xiaoqiang is your own nephew, you only have a daughter, and in the future, everything will have to rely on Xiaoqiang..." Mother Zhu said, "Whether it works or not, it has to work!"

"Boss, if we come to live here, we won’t disturb you; after all, the courtyard is so big. You live in the back, we’ll live in the front. Besides, when Xiaoqiang becomes successful in the future, he will show filial respect to you as his uncle," Mei Xiaolian put in,

In the past, because her family was not well-off, her mother-in-law had not agreed, but once she got pregnant, they had no choice but to get married.

Fortunately, the child she bore was a strong boy, which gradually made her mother-in-law’s attitude towards her improve. With her knack for speaking sweetly, as time went by, her mother-in-law increasingly favored her as a daughter-in-law, keeping a share of every good thing for her.

Now, Boss’s wife also had no standing in front of her.

Mei Xiaolian was arrogantly unaware of herself, reveling in her triumph.

Zhu Zhitao smirked, looking at Mei Xiaolian before him, and then at his mother, who seemed unconcerned, and slowly said, "After we finish this meal here today, everyone should move out first thing tomorrow morning." freewёbnoνel.com

Father Zhu and Mother Zhu were taken aback, saying, "Is it your wife who’s making you drive us away? That heartless woman, so unfilial, I will pay her workplace a visit, ask her leaders whether they manage such an employee or not."

Zhu Zhitao scoffed and said, "Yuan Hua, the daughter-in-law you looked down upon, is no longer your daughter-in-law; she has divorced me. This house is Yuan Hua’s, do you have no shame in clinging onto someone else’s home?"

Having said that, Zhu Zhitao took out a green booklet from his shirt pocket and tossed it on the table.

"What?" Father Zhu panicked, "Divorced? How could there be a divorce?"

Mother Zhu’s face turned beet red as she shakily picked up the green booklet from the table, opened it, and indeed, it was a divorce certificate.

"How... how could you agree to the divorce?" Mother Zhu asked anxiously, although she didn’t like Yuan Hua or Xiao Xiao, she quite liked Yuan Hua’s ability to make money, which improved the family’s living standards.

Because of Yuan Hua, even the household of her youngest son had seen better days.

Zhu Zhibin was also somewhat anxious; although he liked to take small advantages, he didn’t want his brother to end up divorced and separated from his child. He said, "Boss, hurry and coax Sister-in-law. Xiaoqiang will stay at his original school, don’t let him come over here, so as not to anger Sister-in-law."

Mei Xiaolian pursed her lips and said, "We’re still family after all, why act like strangers? Sister-in-law is being too petty, besides, Xiao Xiao is a girl; our Xiaoqiang coming over here can protect Xiao Xiao in the future, and the two children can grow up together."

Zhu Zhitao didn’t respond, but turned and walked to the study, took out a few boxes of videotapes, played them on the VCR, and then slowly said, "Take a look at how your son has been bullying my daughter..."

In the footage, Zhu Xiaoqiang threw things on the ground, and Xiao Xiao could only pick up food from the floor.

Seeing such footage made Zhu Zhibin angry as well; he knew his son was spoiled, but he hadn’t expected it to be this bad. He slapped Zhu Xiaoqiang a few times on the bottom.

"This teaches you to be naughty, teaches you to make trouble!" Zhu Zhibin hit the boy hard, with Mei Xiaolian continuously trying to intervene, and even Mother Zhu couldn’t sit still any longer.

"The child is young, he will understand when he grows up." Mother Zhu tried to mediate, rushing to break up the fight.

Mei Xiaolian also could not bear to see her son hit, after all, her son was the credit for her standing firm in the Zhu family.

Zhu Zhibin could not hold back his anger and said harshly, "If you continue to spoil him now, he will grow up crooked. Being unfilial is the least of the problems— he might even end up a reform-through-labor prisoner. Boss, it’s all my fault, I realize now that my son has gone astray. I will definitely discipline him strictly from now on."

After finishing his speech, Zhu Zhibin did not eat either. He left, carrying a wailing Zhu Xiaoqiang.

"Eat your meal nicely, why would you hit the child? He is just a little kid, what does he know!" Mei Xiaolian tried to stop them, not wanting to leave as the table was full of good food that they hadn’t eaten yet.

Father Zhu frowned but did not speak; he also felt that his grandson needed discipline.

"Boss, I’m sorry. I haven’t disciplined my child properly. After I educate him well, I will bring him over to apologize to you and Xiao Xiao, and my sister-in-law." Zhu Zhibin left while carrying Zhu Xiaoqiang.

Mei Xiaolian was unhappy and said, "You can leave if you want, but leave Xiaoqiang behind."

Zhu Zhibin flew into a rage and cursed, "You won’t leave? Fine, I’ll divorce you tomorrow!"

Having said this, Zhu Zhibin left with the child. Since the Boss and his wife were already causing a divorce ruckus, he had no face to stay there.

When Mei Xiaolian saw her husband say this, she softened a bit.

She knew her husband; although usually easy-going, once he got angry, he was particularly hard to talk to.

"Hey, let’s finish eating before we leave!" Mei Xiaolian didn’t have hopes of moving in anymore, but she still wanted to finish her meal before leaving; otherwise, she’d have to cook at home and be hungry.

"Eat, all you know is eating. Go back to your parents’ house to eat." Zhu Zhibin was furious, his voice fading.

Seeing this, Mei Xiaolian hurriedly chased after him.

Only Father Zhu and Mother Zhu were left at home, looking at each other.

Zhu Zhitao was silent, picked up his chopsticks, grabbed some meat, and began to eat and drink heavily.

"Zhitao, shall I speak to your father-in-law tomorrow and offer an apology?" Father Zhu said softly. He could feel his son’s dejection and deep down, he didn’t want his son to get divorced.

Second marriages aren’t unheard of these days, but those are for people who don’t want to live a decent life.

Although he hoped the Boss would pull the younger son up, he didn’t want his eldest son to end up in divorce.

Zhu Zhitao took a swig of alcohol, belched, and said with a cold laugh, "It’s no use talking about it now. Yuan Hua has been deeply hurt by all of you and doesn’t want to continue with me. In the past, my father-in-law would try to persuade me, but this time he didn’t say a word, proving that he is also disappointed in us. Now that I’m divorced, are you satisfied? Are you happy?"

Father Zhu was speechless, feeling somewhat uneasy, turning his gaze to Mother Zhu.

Mother Zhu, always strong-willed, stiffened her neck and refused to admit any wrong, and only after a long while did she slowly say, "If it’s over, it’s over. How was the property divided?"
