Chapter 169: Wang Guozhu, I Don’t Want A Divorce Anymore (1)
The house they lived in was part of a large residence assigned by the state. Most of the people who worked in the same factory lived here. There was a large courtyard at the ground level and many old people liked to hold their activities there.
Zhou Hong’s family lived on the third floor. The house consisted of three rooms and a living room, and had a floor area of about seventy square meters. In the town, it was considered to be a fairly spacious house. Both Zhou Hong and Wang Guozhu worked, so they had been assigned this type of housing.
When Zhou Hong returned, she saw the old lady, whose name was Liang Zhaodi. Her name alone showed what kind of family she had been born into. Also, Old Madam’s personality truly matched her name.
Sitting in front of her was another old lady from the residence. The latter was carrying her young grandson in her arms, while a slightly older grandson played nearby. Her eldest grandson, from another son, was at her house.
The old lady was complaining to Liang Zhaodi. “Ai… Those people in my family only know how to eat, but don’t know how to work. We need food to support them. The oldest is still alright, he’s beginning to mature. The second one can play on his own. But this little one needs to be carried. Now, my oldest son’s wife is pregnant again. Judging by her stomach, it’s probably another son. I’m utterly exhausted!”
“I’ve spent years raising my eldest and second grandson. Now, this third grandson hasn’t even learnt how to walk and my eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant again! When do you think these days of having to carry my grandchildren around will come to an end?”
Her words caused Liang Zhaodi to turn green with envy. She dreamt of a grandson, but Zhou Hong refused to give her one. Their family only had one daughter, Zhou Xiaoyu, and she did not follow the Wang family’s surname, so what use was she?
“How can you moan continuously? I’m almost wild with longing for a grandson. My granddaughter is all grown up. I don’t know when she’ll give me a grandson. She has caused our Wang family line to die out. What use is a granddaughter? She only knows how to spend money and is a burden.”
Zhou Hong immediately saw red. This damn old lady. Always talking bad about her and her daughter outside the family. Xiaoyu carried her hopes. How dare this old woman call her a burden?
It was these two old wretches who were burdens. They did not do anything all day besides eat.
Then she remembered that Wang Guozhu was having an affair, and the woman was pregnant. Did these two old people also know that the bitch was pregnant?
Were they waiting for a divorce so they could bring the woman into the family and have a grandson?
Ha!
No way!
Zhou Hong rushed over in a huff. But Liang Zhaodi had sharp eyes. When she saw Zhou Hong, she was so frightened she ducked her head and started to quiver all over. She said a few panicked words to the old lady opposite her, then grabbed her husband and hurried home.
Liang Zhaodi’s actions made everyone look at Zhou Hong strangely.
Zhou Hong was domineering and she and her daughter were unfilial. They were notorious in this building, and everyone knew about them.
Zhou Hong looked at everyone’s expression and suppressed her rage. She was so angry she quickened her pace and rushed home. When she got home, she saw that the old lady had already gone to the kitchen to start cooking, while the old man was wiping the table with a cloth.
Acting again!
Acting again!
These two old wretches were so despicable!
She rushed into the room just in time to see Wang Guozhu hurriedly hide a handkerchief in his pocket. She could tell from the color of the handkerchief that it definitely did not belong to her.
When she remembered that this despicable man actually dared to have another woman, and had even gotten her pregnant and was waiting for a divorce, Zhou Hong felt that her dignity was in shreds. She roared in rage, “Wang Guozhu, I don’t want a divorce anymore!”
