Chapter 896: Chapter 896: Scumbag Brother and Deadbeat Dad, Get Lost (Part 42)

Meng Chongxi didn’t feel he couldn’t win over Widow Lee; she treated him so well, surely she had some feelings. But because he was a married man, he never dared to cross the line.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt he owed Widow Lee, and rushed home anxiously.

Meeting such a gentle and virtuous woman was his good fortune, so why couldn’t he act impulsively?

As for Mrs. Zhang’s rotten face at home, he was tired of seeing it, and now Mrs. Zhang was becoming more and more arrogant, not as obedient as before.

"What did you say?"

"Divorce you! I’m going to divorce you!" Meng Chongxi shouted, afraid the villagers wouldn’t hear.

He stood in the courtyard, looking at Mrs. Zhang’s dumbfounded face at the kitchen door, feeling triumphant.

Afraid now, aren’t you? Mrs. Zhang’s looks were gone, and if divorced and kicked out of the house, her family would feel ashamed and wouldn’t take her back.

Once out of here, Mrs. Zhang would have nowhere to go and would be reduced to begging.

Meng Chongxi couldn’t stop thinking about how miserable Mrs. Zhang would be in the future, completely unaware of how ugly his current expression was.

"Dad, I also want to divorce Xu Yunniang; I can’t afford a woman like her." shouted Meng Wengan loudly, tossing aside the carrying pole and buckets when he heard this.

He had long wanted to divorce his wife, kick Xu Yunniang out, and watch her act smug.

Looking at Xu Yunniang coming out from the house, he hadn’t expected her to have such a calm expression.

Mrs. Zhang was the same, not reacting with the crying and fuss they imagined.

Such a commotion, the villagers all came and surrounded the Meng Family.

"What happened?" An elderly man in the village asked, "You can’t be impulsive in such matters; life is going well, isn’t it?"

In the old man’s view, there was nothing wrong with the Meng Family now.

Although the women at home were fierce, life was in order, and they didn’t leave Meng Chongxi and his son hungry.

In the past, neither Meng Chongxi nor Meng Wengan were very reliable, especially Meng Wengan, often seen wandering around, neglecting his studies, preferring to imitate the rich kids.

Now that he couldn’t study, he worked daily, didn’t gamble, didn’t fool around, and managed to scrape by.

Recently, he looked stronger, darker but more spirited.

His complexion was rosy, clearly indicating he wasn’t short of food at home.

So what’s wrong?

In the old man’s view, the fiercest women in the Meng Family had become that way because these two men couldn’t hold their own.

"Today, in front of everyone in the village, I, Meng Chongxi, will divorce my wife. Don’t try to persuade me; every family has its own life, and you don’t understand the affairs of my Meng Family. If I, Meng Chongxi, want to divorce Mrs. Zhang, she must have done something wrong."

Whether Mrs. Zhang was good or virtuous, the villagers saw it clearly.

Even though they also felt Mrs. Zhang was fierce now, thinking back, when did Mrs. Zhang change?

Since Meng Wengan accumulated huge gambling debts, and Meng Chongxi wanted to sell his daughter.

If not for Meng Chongxi only caring for his son and disregarding his daughter, Mrs. Zhang wouldn’t have been like this. Mrs. Zhang was one of the most hardworking women in the village, very enduring, never lazy, always keeping the house tidy, the courtyard clean.

The elderly in the village still tried to persuade Meng Chongxi, while no one bothered with Meng Wengan, a man who almost gambled away his sister, actually looked down upon.

"This is my, Meng Chongxi’s, family matter, so you don’t need to meddle."
