4.
My daughter took me back to her home with Jia Huairen.
She paid half of the down payment for this house and shares the monthly payments. Jia Huairen is the one who cheated during the marriage, so why should my daughter leave empty-handed?
Although I am just a rural woman, illiterate and a bit fierce, I've watched enough short videos to understand some tactics of dealing with a cheating spouse and a mistress. Qiu Ying has her pride, but I, an old lady, have nothing to lose.
Qiu Ying had the key, so I inserted it and turned it. I pushed the door open and rushed in.
The shameless Little Fox Spirit and Jia Huairen were embracing each other, kissing without a care. Before she could scream, I went up and gave her a hard shove, then grabbed Jia Huairen by the face.
"Who are you? Why are you hitting me?" The mistress covered half her face and glared at me with bloodshot eyes, gritting her teeth.
"I'm her mother; why do you think I'm hitting you?"
Jia Huairen, ignoring the blood streaming down his face, nervously replied, "Your daughter can't have children; I can't be left without heirs!"
"Then why don't you divorce my daughter? Why do you still make her serve your family and take care of all those animals while expecting her to bear your illegitimate children?"
"I may be from the countryside, but I understand all your city people's dirty tricks. You cheated during your marriage; I'm going to take my daughter to sue you, and I want to see how the court rules!"
"Go ahead and sue! My Old Jia has many connections; I don't believe that you, a rural old woman, can stir up trouble in Jiangcheng! If you want a divorce, fine, but remember what I said: your daughter can leave, but she can't take anything from this house..."
An older woman from the Jia family stepped in, strutting arrogantly as she confronted us.
Qiu Ying packed her things and reached out to pull me along: "Mom, let's go."
"As long as you dare to make trouble, my Old Jia can make sure your daughter can't keep her job or survive in Jiangcheng!"
The old woman shouted behind us, " Xiaoli's uncle is a district leader, and Xiaoli's aunt is a city leader; let's see if I'm just trying to scare you."
"You crazy rural woman dare to hit our Xiaoli; you'll regret it!"
The " Xiaoli " mentioned was Jia Huairen's mistress, whose full name is Jiang Xiaoli.
"Mom, as long as we can get divorced, I would accept anything!"
"No way! Why should that bastard get off easy?"
"But they really have 'connections.' Last time I wanted to sue Jia Huairen for divorce, my boss called me in for a talk; it was full of threats... I'm afraid my job might really be at risk!" Qiu Ying covered her face helplessly and started crying again.
This was completely beyond my understanding as a rural old woman.
I could go to the Jia family and cause a scene, even get into a fight, but I cannot disregard my daughter's future. A marriage like this is already unfortunate enough; I can't let my daughter's career be ruined as well!
Overnight, my once dark hair turned almost half white.
In life, aside from being born, one must be cautious about marriage. My parents may have good intentions, but their opinions are not necessarily correct.
Jia Huairen called to ask Qiu Ying to handle the divorce paperwork, and I accompanied her.
When it comes to my daughter's future, I lost the strength and confidence I once had.
In the hall where we handled the divorce paperwork, Jia Huairen's parents, his brother and sister-in-law with their children, and even Jia Huairen's mistress appeared openly.
On one side, they were processing the divorce certificate while on the other side, they were applying for a marriage certificate!
This was more suffocating than having a knife held to my throat.
Jia Huairen handed his daughter a divorce agreement, and Qiu Ying read aloud the part concerning property: the wife does not make any claims on the couple's joint assets...
It felt like a knife was cutting through my heart: I had pushed my daughter into the hands of this despicable family!
Heaven above, what sins did I commit in my past life that are now being repaid through my daughter!
The staff handling the divorce paperwork was an acquaintance of the Jia family. This plump woman was chatting amiably with someone while occasionally pointing and poking at me.
"Sister, it's done! I told you we have some influence in Jiangcheng; we can't let an old country woman take charge!" The Jia matriarch said proudly. "If she dares to disagree, her unit's second-in-command Old Qiao is a classmate of your brother-in-law. He's already agreed with him; if she dares to act up, let her go!"
"Hmph, a hen that doesn't lay eggs."
"Exactly! We also informed Deputy Director to let me handle this according to your wishes..."
Seeing me flipping that thin piece of paper back and forth, the plump woman first smiled sweetly at the Jia family and then shot me a disdainful glance: "Are we still doing this? There are people waiting behind!"
I was at a loss for words when she scoffed: "Can you read, country bumpkin?"
I quietly asked my daughter: "If you don't want to work, we can go back to Annam. Mom will take care of you; we won't be bullied in Jiangcheng anymore. How does that sound?"
My daughter's face flushed red; looking at my serious expression, she nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes.
I slammed my hand down on the plump woman's desk: "Who are you calling a country bumpkin? Isn't that sign behind you all about serving the people wholeheartedly? Is this how you serve the people while wearing that outfit?"
My sudden outburst drew everyone's attention in the hall. The plump woman's face went from red to white and then pale as she pointed a chubby finger almost at my face: "You... you..."
"What about me? I'm here to scold you today! Not only am I scolding you, but I'm also going to report this to the relevant departments. You and your leaders are all in cahoots with that Jia family to harm my daughter! I may not be literate, but I've seen 'Infiltration.'
I caught Jia Huairen cheating during his marriage; I have it all recorded. What Jia Matriarch said yesterday and what you just said—I recorded it all. If no one takes action, I'll take this evidence to the streets! I refuse to believe that in such a big provincial city, you filthy flies can block out the sky with your hands!"
Everyone was petrified.
I held up my phone, playing the video of Jia Huairen and the mistress cuddling together: "This is the son-in-law who doesn't care about his face, keeping a mistress at home. Old Lady Jia even said her relatives are some kind of leaders..."
Many people raised their phones to record, and some even wanted to add me on WeChat, hoping I could share this content with them...
The Fat Woman shouted angrily, "Security, security, get this crazy woman out of here!"
Many phones turned towards her, causing her to instinctively cover her face and shut her mouth.
The security guard looked at the wall of people surrounding me and ultimately didn't dare to forcibly drive anyone away.
Surprisingly, the Jia family slipped away at the moment I exploded.
