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

Chapter 159 Two Crazy Living Fathers

There were two burlap sacks on the ground, but each was only half full and very light to carry.

One bag contained cornmeal, and the other contained wheat bran.

The endosperm of wheat is ground into flour, while the remaining outer layer is called wheat bran.

Wheat bran can be in flake form or ground into powder, and can be used to make staple foods such as whole wheat bread and bran buns.

Steamed buns made from white flour are soft and delicious, with a subtle sweetness, while steamed buns made from wheat bran are grayish-brown and have a rough texture.

The people of Chenjia Village, whose stomachs are already quite thin, don't like to eat this stuff.

Seeing the two women's unpleasant expressions, Shan Xiujuan said irritably, "This is also grain."

Mother and Black Tiger didn't plan to give you anything. I gave you food, and you still have such a dark face.

"Take it if you want it, or I'll take it if you don't." She also lost her temper.

Although she didn't look happy at first, she felt a little guilty when she heard that the dowry Black Tiger gave her was deducted from Zhang Junniang's dowry, so she chose to give him some food to send him away.

Zhang Junniang glanced at her silent mother and her younger brother, who was fiddling with his toes, and knew that it would be very difficult for her to get her money back today.

She quickly whispered, "Yes, yes, yes."

Even a small fly is still meat.

Her family at least gave her two half-bags of grain, but the Chen family's rice and flour bins were completely empty.

The wild vegetable porridge has been getting thinner and thinner lately, and these past few days it's practically just boiled wild vegetables.

Her face grew increasingly green as she ate.

"You..." Chen Sanbao looked at Zhang Junniang in confusion. What did she mean by that?
Do you think you can get rid of them with this meager amount of food?
Before Zhang Junniang came, she had promised Chen Sanbao that her family would definitely return the money and send them a lot of grain.

She spoke with such conviction that Chen Sanbao would almost have believed her if they hadn't only had this little bit of coarse grain left.

Chen Sanbao only realized today that his wife does nothing at home, has a bad temper, always has a long face, and finds fault with everything.

But once she returns to her parents' home, she becomes as obedient as a little lamb, doing whatever they say.

They didn't resort to tantrums or make a scene; instead, they picked up weapons to seek justice for themselves.

"No, we can't just let it go like this." Chen Sanbao straightened his neck and rushed to Zhang Heihu.

One was as tall as a black bear, and the other was as short as a monkey; the two of them just stared at each other with wide eyes.

Chen Sanbao, with his small eyes, said fiercely, "Zhang Heihu, if you don't pay back the money today, I'll go and make a scene at your village head's place and let everyone see how disgusting you are, this brother who sucks his sister's blood."

Zhang Heihu's big eyes were full of disdain: "What do you mean by paying back money? I don't owe you any money. Even if you take this to the yamen, I'm still in the right. On the contrary, you're like a wild monkey throwing a tantrum everywhere."

"The dowry money for your sister was given by me. I gave it to her to take back to our Chen family. It wasn't given to you."

Get this straight, what you're doing is even more shameless than stealing or robbing.

"You think I'm shameless? You've taken advantage of your two sisters' dowry money and prostitution money quite a bit."

Your mother said that her two daughters were very filial, and that you were able to get married thanks to your sisters.

We're both men, don't you think I know what you're thinking?
"You're just being hypocritical, getting the better deal from your sister but not allowing me to use my sister's money?"

Chen Sanbao has two younger sisters, a fact that few people outside the Chen family know.

In order to find a wife for Chen Sanbao, Zhao married off one of her daughters to a distant place and demanded a large dowry, while she sold the other daughter directly to an official as a slave.

The daughter who was enslaved has long lost contact with us, and the daughter who married far away will not return to her parents' home for three to five years.

At first, Zhao praised her daughters for being filial, but later she couldn't contact one of her daughters and the other didn't come home, which made her feel like she had raised two ungrateful wretches.

Later, after Li Ruru, the original owner of this body, who was obsessed with love, married Chen Sanbao, she gave her dowry to Zhao Shi intact.

This should have been a good thing for Zhao, but when she thought about how she had indirectly lost two daughters because of these dowries, she realized that she had lost them in the process.

She felt that it was all Li Ruru's fault; it was all her fault. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lost her two daughters just to give her the bride price. From then on, Zhao Shi found fault with Li Ruru in every way, constantly picking on her and beating her.

Chen Sanbao was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of this incident. As a beneficiary, he never said anything on behalf of his two younger sisters and simply took everything for granted.

Now the same thing is happening to Zhang Junniang, and he has become the one being drained of blood, which is why he is so angry.

The bullet that Chen Sanbao fired many years ago has now struck him right between the eyebrows.

Zhang Heihu was telling the truth, and Chen Sanbao couldn't refute it. He could only angrily say, "I don't care, I just want my money. I won't leave until you give it to me."

Seeing that he had no other choice, he could only imitate Zhao Shi, throwing a tantrum and acting like a rogue.

But Zhang Heihu wasn't buying it. He said calmly, "Really?"

Before Chen Sanbao could react, she picked him up like a chick.

With his other hand, he grabbed the two half-bags of coarse grains, walked a few steps to the front door, and casually tossed them aside.

He threw Chen Sanbao and the grain out together, clapping his hands as if he had thrown away some disgusting garbage.

Zhang Junniang was also roughly pushed to the door by Shan Xiujuan, who yelled, "Get out! Get out! Get out!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Madam Wang looked at Zhang Junniang and said bitterly, "Junniang, don't hate your mother. There's nothing I can do."

With a loud bang, the door slammed shut.

Chen Sanbao got up from the rain, covered in mud and looking utterly disheveled.

Zhang Junniang stared at the heavy door, feeling a sense of desolation.

She felt that she had become the opposite of Li Ruru, and even worse than Li Ruru.

For so many years, Li Ruru has been constantly exploiting her family and subsidizing her husband's family, yet her family has never kicked her out.

Even in order to give their daughter a better life and prevent her from being bullied by the Chen family, they were willing to borrow money from all over the place.

As for her, her dowry was withheld by her family, and her younger brother and sister-in-law kicked her out. Her family was nowhere near as good as Li Ruru's.

"Let's go, the grain will get wet soon," Zhang Junniang said to Chen Sanbao as she bent down and picked up half a sack of wheat bran.

"You useless thing! Marrying you is the worst thing that ever happened to me."

Chen Sanbao roared and slapped him across the face.

With a sharp crack, Zhang Junniang staggered from the blow and nearly fell.

She covered her face in disbelief and said, "Chen Sanbao, how dare you hit me?"

"So what if I hit you? If I didn't hit you, would I treat you like a goddess?"

"You scum who hits women!"

The two vented all the anger they had suffered at the Zhang family on each other, and Chen Sanbao, whose honeymoon period was over, completely reverted to his scumbag nature.

He is no longer gentle, no longer listens to his wife; now he only wants to beat her.

Although Zhang Junniang was gentle and obedient at home due to years of psychological manipulation, she was not afraid of outsiders at all.

Especially this outsider, he's a scumbag who beats women.

She threw off the bran on her shoulder and rushed over, screaming.

Soon, the two started fighting, the sounds of wind, rain, slaps, and cries mingling together.

Hearing the commotion outside, Shan Xiujuan asked Zhang Heihu worriedly, "Should we... go out and help?"

She worried that Chen Sanbao might go too far, and she was also afraid that others would see these two crazy fathers.

They may be shameless, but she certainly has a sense of shame.
