Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Yao Feiran, however, was rather gossipy: "Mom, tell me what he said."

"They spent all their money on travel a few years ago, and afterwards your brother was dissatisfied with several jobs because his wife thought the wages were too low."

"What does his wife do for a living?"

"I don't know. He probably works in an office, so the salary probably isn't high. Your brother had to find a job doing manual labor, and he also works part-time at night. He hands over all his wages."

"My brother really spoils his wife."

"If the woman really loves him, then it's worth it. Now he's treating her like a dog. Anyway, I don't think it's a good match. Before he got married, no matter the occasion, your brother always served him in every way. His wife never took care of him at all. Later, I thought that maybe in other ways your brother would feel it was worth it. Besides, it's not a problem for a boy to spoil his wife. I don't want to be a meddlesome mother-in-law, so I didn't say anything."

"Now your brother starts spitting and bringing up old grievances, saying that all these years, he has done everything at home and outside, worked hard every day and still had to cook and clean for his wife, hand over all his salary, and if he wanted to buy something he liked, he would kneel down and beg his wife for some money, and get scolded terribly. He also discovered that his wife is very generous to her family."

Yao Feiran laughed and said, "If I were the woman, I'd also want to find someone like you."

After thinking for a moment, Yao's mother slapped her thigh and said, "What you say makes sense. It would be fine if you could find someone as stupid as your brother, but such a person can't be stupid forever. Look, your brother is unhappy now and is blaming his wife for everything."

The mother and daughter discussed Yao Zhiliang's affairs as gossip.

Later, Yao Zhiliang indeed came to the door, and Yao Feiran was also at home.

"Mom, I want a divorce. I want her to return the dowry and the money for the house."

"What's this about the payment for the house? Didn't I buy you a house with full payment?"

"She previously said that the house was too small, so she sold it and bought a new one. She said that interest rates were low now and she could take out a loan. She kept the remaining money for the house, but I heard that she used it to buy a house for her younger brother."

Yao's mother gasped, never expecting her son to be so foolish.

Yao Feiran said calmly, "If you file for divorce, you might be able to get some of it back. But if you want it all back, forget about it. Besides, you've been in a de facto marriage for so long, and the dowry was spent on your trip together back then, so don't even think about getting that back."

"She doesn't have children, why should she demand a bride price!"

Yao Feiran was speechless. Hadn't he also agreed not to have children? Now he was starting to complain about the other party.

Yao's mother and Yao Feiran remained calm. They had long since given up hope on Yao Zhiliang. His closeness to them this time was only because he couldn't stand his wife. If the two of them were living happily, he might have long forgotten that he had a mother and a sister.

After Yao Zhiliang vented his anger, he realized that the two men hadn't reacted much, and he said somewhat sadly, "I was bullied, and you are my closest family members. Why didn't you stand up for me?"

Yao's mother said, "That's the person you chose back then. If you feel you can't live with him, just get a divorce. There's no need to tell us all this; we can't help you with that."

"Mom, in your heart, is Yao Feiran really your child?"

Yao's mother was getting impatient: "What exactly do you want me to do?"

Yao Zhiliang was speechless.

He now realizes that he's caught in the middle. He used to want to live a good life with his wife, but whenever they had a small disagreement, Deng Jingyi would tell her family. Then the Deng family would gang up on him, subject him to emotional abuse, and force him to beg and plead before he would get a few kind words.

She was clearly the one who contributed the most to this family.

It was then that he realized there was no such thing as a husband and wife being one. Deng Jingyi told him to stay away from his mother, but she herself always sided with her own family.

He lost the person who was closest to her.

"I... just wanted you to comfort me."

Yao's mother sighed: "Life is what you have to live, and there's nothing I can do about it. When the Deng family criticized and laughed at me, you sided with them and told me not to meddle in other people's business anymore."

"I just wanted my mom to calm down."

"I'll do as you wish now and I won't say anything to you anymore. But you can't treat me like someone you can just summon and dismiss at will. You're an adult now and you should be able to distinguish right from wrong. Solve your own problems."

She was somewhat grateful that she still had Yao Feiran. Yao Feiran wouldn't erase all her efforts or say she wanted to sever ties with her just because of her occasional nagging or the occasional conflicts between them.

Yao Zhiliang was stung by the indifferent looks in their eyes. He felt as if the whole world had abandoned him, and he quickly rushed out of the room.

After some time, Yao Zhiliang went back, but he stopped handing over money and became more assertive, so Deng Jingyi started making a fuss about divorce.

Yao Zhiliang said calmly, "If you make your brother return the money for the house, I'll divorce you. If you make trouble for me, I'll make trouble for your brother."

Deng Jingyi calmed down and stopped talking about divorce; the couple simply began a cold war.

Yao Feiran felt the time was right, so she went abroad and returned a year later with a daughter.

Looking at her granddaughter with her large, piercing eyes, Yao's mother stammered, "Your daughter?"

"Yes, isn't she cute? Didn't you say you wanted a child? Her name is Yao Yue, and I hope she'll be happy in the future."

"You, you."

Yao's mother was also helpless. A few hours later, she held the child tightly and refused to let go.

Yao Feiran hired a nanny, and her mother also helped out and kept an eye on things. She herself spent most of her time at home.

Two years have passed, and Yao Feiran and Xiao Baohe are still best friends. Once, when the two met up, Xiao Baohe was a little troubled: "My parents won't let me leave home. I'm almost thirty years old, and I still want to have some free time. But they are very good to me. They buy me whatever I want. But I find it hard to get close to them, which makes me feel a little guilty."

Yao Feiran looked at Xiao Baohe: "You are hard to get close to because you don't feel that they really like you."

"Then why are they so nice to me? I don't have anything they want."

"Yes, your intelligence is exactly what's most advantageous to them."

"What?" Xiao Baohe suddenly noticed the system screen had disappeared, and her brows furrowed. "What happened?"

"The information your system gave you has been transmitted to the other party as their thoughts. Haven't you noticed that the Xiao family is getting better and better, deviating from their original fate?"

Xiao Baohe was shocked: "You mean my family overheard my true feelings?"

"From the first day you arrived, they were able to hear some of your thoughts, all of which were in their favor."

"No wonder their fates changed; I thought the system was malfunctioning."

Xiao Baohe suddenly understood, but was also somewhat disappointed: "Yuan Xuheng could hear my thoughts before, right? When I got close to him, it seemed like he had already discovered the traitor in the company."

"Yes, otherwise why do you think he would suddenly pursue you so frantically? There's no such thing as love without a reason."
