Everything happened too quickly, and everyone, including Grandma Ruan, was momentarily at a loss.
Wang Fang could only brace herself and say, "Hey, it's all a misunderstanding. People say that relatives are like bones connected by tendons. What’s this talk about money? It’s so cold-hearted. brother Shen is such a filial child; if he finds out about this and blames you, it won’t be good for you."
Ha, trying to use Shen Chi to pressure her.
Su Mingxian scoffed, "So now that we’ve talked about money, you plan to recognize me as family? How practical of you! Too bad I’m not interested. Shen Chi’s filial piety is just his blindness; he actually considers you a family when you’re nothing but a bunch of lowly scoundrels. Do you even deserve that?"
As soon as she said this, everyone was taken aback. Grandma Ruan felt utterly humiliated, while Wang Fang was furious. "You little brat, don’t get too cocky! Who do you think you are? Just a country bumpkin! Look in the mirror and see what kind of person you are. There are plenty of beautiful girls in the city; how dare you make a scene here? Don’t say I didn’t warn you—if you anger brother Shen and he decides to leave you, don’t come crying to me."
"Threatening me? Oh, I’m so scared! If you have the guts, call Shen Chi over right now and have him divorce me directly. If you don’t dare, then you’re just a coward." Su Mingxian wasn’t afraid of that at all; in fact, she welcomed it.
The neighbors couldn’t stay calm upon hearing this.
What era is it now? Divorce is a huge scandal; the old belief that it’s better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage runs deep.
Wang Fang was stunned; she had only intended to scare this country girl out of anger, but who would have thought she would be so bold?
Now she was in a difficult position, her face turning beet red. "You little brat, don’t get too arrogant! I can’t call him over right now, but with the Dragon Boat Festival coming up soon, he will definitely come. Just wait and see; you’ll be in for it then."
"The Dragon Boat Festival, huh? Fine, I’ll wait for him. If he doesn’t come, then you’re the coward." She then turned to Fat Aunt. "Fat Aunt, I want to rent an apartment; can you help me out?"
Fat Aunt immediately patted her chest and said, "No problem! Leave it to me!"
Wang Fang was left speechless, and soon everyone dispersed, the members of the Ruan Family looking like defeated roosters. Especially Wang Fang, who was seething with anger and wished she could immediately report Shen Chi, that despicable woman from the countryside.
Unfortunately, she had neither an address nor a pager number, so all she could do was fume in silence.
Grandma Ruan didn’t even bother to cook for the first time; she retreated to her room in tears. When the Ruan Family Patriarch returned, he exploded in a fit of rage, causing quite the uproar.
Meanwhile, Shen Chi, who was on her way, had no idea that her daughter-in-law had stirred up trouble back home and was now causing chaos at her maternal grandparents' house as well.
...
On the other hand, Su Mingxian, who had found a new place to live, didn’t let this matter bother her at all. Once she heard news about Shen Chi, her heart felt at ease.
At that moment, she was busy unpacking. She hadn’t brought much with her—just a few changes of worn clothes and a basket given by Aunt Cuihua.
After paying the rent, she found herself with less than a thousand yuan. What should she do now?
As Su Mingxian pondered this, Qian Qian looked up at her with tear-filled eyes. “Mommy, is it true that Daddy doesn’t want us anymore?”
The little one was heartbroken. She wasn’t foolish; she was old enough to understand what was happening. After speaking, she reached out and hugged Su Mingxian’s waist, burying her face against her as she choked back sobs. “Mommy, don’t be sad. If Daddy doesn’t want you, Qian Qian wants you. From now on, Qian Qian will stay with you. I don’t want Daddy anymore; I only want Mommy. Boo-hoo—”
As she spoke, the little girl began to cry. Su Mingxian felt her heart twist painfully in response; her own eyes turned red as a sense of confusion washed over her for the first time.
Shen Chi didn’t love her; there seemed to be no point in continuing their life together. Divorce appeared to be the best choice—but what about the child?
How innocent the child is!
Such a kind daughter, who is clearly the most heartbroken, yet still comes to comfort her. Su Mingxian felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being carved out.
