Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 12 Why did you hit me so hard?
Zhao screamed, covered her face, and spat out a mouthful of foul blood.

"Feng Yuzhu, you little slut, how dare you hit me?"

Seeing her mother-in-law's hand raised towards her, Feng Yuzhu quickly hid behind her sister-in-law.

Wang Shuixia awkwardly stood between the two, not expecting her second sister-in-law to be so brave.

His moves were incredibly fast, accurate, and ruthless!

That slap was quite powerful, and Wang Shuixia had a barely perceptible smile on her lips. "Mother, you're the one who told us to hit you."

When Feng Yuzhu saw that her sister-in-law was on her side, she understood.

He poked his head out and said to Zhao, "Yes, Mother, I'm doing this for you."

Zhao, covering her swollen face, said irritably, "I told you to hit me, why did you hit me so hard?"

It made her ears ring.

Feng Yuzhu explained earnestly, "Mother, we have to make the act convincing, otherwise no one will believe it. You need to remember now, this slap was delivered by my third sister-in-law!"

Let's hope she doesn't hold us accountable later.

Zhao felt inexplicably aggrieved; she always felt that the second son's wife was deliberately taking the opportunity to retaliate.

But she had no evidence, and she was feeling suffocated with anger when she saw Wang Shuixia call her two grandsons into the house.

"Eldest sister, what are you doing?"

Could it be that the eldest son of this family isn't a good person either, and wants his two grandsons to watch her get beaten up?
Wang Shuixia held Zhao's hand and said earnestly, "Mother, I really can't bear to do it to you. Let's just have Jin Gang and Jin Tong do it."

Feng Yuzhu rolled her eyes silently. Her sister-in-law had done all the good work, making her look like she had been very unreasonable for slapping him earlier.

Feng Yuzhu immediately called over Chen Huaidi, "Mother, let Huaidi do it. She's a girl and not very strong, she won't hurt you."

This time it was Wang Shuixia's turn to suffer a setback. Good heavens, she didn't even lift a finger, so what's wrong with letting her beloved grandson do it?
Why did my second sister-in-law start arguing with her?

Chen Jintong and Chen Jingang blinked and asked, "Grandma? You want us to hit you?"

Zhao nodded, but looking at her two grandsons, she felt a little apprehensive, especially Chen Jingang, who looked very strong.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Chen Huaidi, "Huai'er, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Feng Yuzhu pushed Chen Huaidi forward, saying, "Huaidi, Golden Boy, just think of it as playing around with your grandma."

Soon, Chen Bingxiao, who was outside the door, heard the sounds of fighting and Zhao's wailing coming from inside the house.

He took a satisfied drag on his pipe and said to Chen Jinbang beside him, "This should definitely work."

Before long, Zhao came out looking dejected.

Her face was swollen, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were torn to shreds.

His entire body was covered in visible wounds.

Especially the long scratches on her neck, which clearly showed that she had been scratched.

Chen Jinbang was stunned, thinking that his grandmother would really stop at nothing to get rid of his third aunt.

If Grandma were a young man, she would surely have accomplished great things.

Several clan elders invited by Chen Bingxiao arrived at the Chen family at that moment and were all somewhat surprised to see the scene.

"What's going on here?"

Zhao's eyes darted around, and with a wail, she lay on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.

She tearfully accused Li Ruru of not giving her a way to live and even trying to beat her to death.

Chen Bingxiao said with a dark face, "I can't live like this anymore. My third daughter-in-law is so unfilial."

Seeing this, Chen Sanbao also pretended to wipe away tears, telling his story of how sad he had been without a son for many years. As he spoke, he actually cried.

Upon hearing this, several gray-bearded elders of the Chen family were outraged and immediately said, "Since you can't live like this anymore, then divorce that wicked woman. Where is Li? Have her come over and put her fingerprint on the document."

The Chen family was secretly delighted, while Wang Shuixia and Feng Yuzhu looked at Zhao with admiration.

My mother-in-law always had a solution.

Zhao proudly puffed out her chest, "Eldest daughter-in-law, go and call that slut... call over the third son's wife."

In front of so many people, she had to portray herself as a victim, so she couldn't just hurl insults at people.

Wang Shuixia searched around the house but couldn't find Li Ruru. With a bitter face, she returned to the courtyard.

"Mother, my third sister-in-law is not home."

"Not home? Where did you go so early? I bet you went to steal..." Zhao gritted her teeth, swallowing the word "man" back down. It was really hard for her not to curse.

Feng Yuzhu also went to look for them. "Mother, those three girls are also missing."

"Could she have done something wrong and, out of fear, run away with the three children?" Chen Sanbao always suspected Li Ruru with the most malicious intent.

Pan Dayan overheard this conversation just as she went out to get some water.

She scoffed, "Sanbao, instead of spouting nonsense, why don't you go to the market and take a look?"

Your wife went to the county town early this morning to sell konjac tofu to earn money, and instead of helping her, you all gossiped about her behind her back.

Pan Dayan had a loud voice and spoke without any mercy.

Chen Sanbao chuckled and said, "What konjac tofu? That's poisonous devil's tongue!"
She made someone sick, but that has nothing to do with the Chen family. I'm divorcing her today.

Chen Sanbao knew about Li Ruru cooking konjac last night from the beginning.

His father warned him that he must divorce his wife as soon as possible, otherwise his family would suffer great misfortune if she ate someone who had died.

Pan Dayan shook her head helplessly. What kind of people are these?

Li Ruru was Chen's daughter-in-law, and she couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs, so she quietly asked her eldest son to inform Li Ruru.

Wang Tieniu agreed and quickly went out the door.

Pan Dayan grabbed a handful of melon seeds, put them in her pocket, and went out the door, leisurely walking from one end of the village to the other.

In no time, the news that the Chen family wanted to divorce his wife spread throughout the village.

The gossipy crowd arrived at the Chen family's door, staring at each other in bewilderment.

A few people whispered among themselves, "Weren't they going to divorce her? Why is everyone so quiet?"

"It seems that Li Ruru went to the county town and hasn't come back yet."

Well, the person who was supposed to divorce his wife is gone, so the drama of divorcing his wife is off.

Since everyone had nothing else to do, they simply gathered together, eating sunflower seeds and waiting for Li Ruru to return.

In the county town, at the market.

Li Ruru's konjac tofu is almost empty; both large buckets are nearly sold out.

She simply cut up the remaining pieces and put them in a large bowl for her three daughters to eat.

The three little ones had been hungry all morning, and they happily ate konjac tofu.

Er Ya asked innocently, "Mom, if we make money, does that mean we're no longer a money-losing burden?"

Sanya retorted, "Grandma said girls are all a waste of money."

Daya remained silent, her eating movements unconsciously slowing down.

The group all looked at Li Ruru.

Li Ruru spat, "Don't listen to that old geezer's nonsense."

“My daughter is not a money-loser; you are all my precious darlings.”

"If anyone ever calls you a money-loser, go up to them and rip their mouth off."

Daya nodded solemnly, "Mother, I understand."

Li Ruru patted her head and said, "Once I earn some more money, I'll send you to school."

Daya loves reading, but the Chen family all say that girls don't need to study.

"Mother, Grandma said..."

"Don't mention that old man, listen to your mother."

Li Ruru pretended to be angry, and Daya quickly agreed, "Okay."

After eating her fill, Li Ruru returned the borrowed tables and chairs and bought some fried dough cakes for Pan Dayan.

She's not the kind of person who just makes empty promises; she always keeps her word.

Besides, the fried dough sticks weren't expensive; they cost less than 10 coins in total.

On their way back, they missed the oxcart. Li Ruru carried a few empty bowls on a shoulder pole and strolled leisurely on her way home.

He said to the three little ones, "Guess how much money we made today?"
