?Chapter 402: Chapter 402: What is Divorce? (Extra Monthly Ticket Update) Chapter 402: Chapter 402: What is Divorce? (Extra Monthly Ticket Update) The old lady finally came to her senses.
She wasn’t here to throw her weight around. If she did, and pushed the second son too hard, wouldn’t they ultimately be the ones to suffer?
She shut her mouth in frustration.
Fang Jianping glanced at Yang Mei, “My dear, you stay here and watch the store; I’ll go inside with mom and dad to talk for a while.”
He didn’t want Yang Mei to be upset by following them.
Yang Mei gave a look that said, ‘don’t be foolish and let yourself be taken advantage of again.’
Fang Jianping smiled, understanding his wife was worried.
It was his own fault for going too far in the past, which left such a lasting impression on his wife.
“Let’s go to the back room to talk, mom and dad. It’s not convenient with all these people coming and going,” he directed his parents straight into the backyard.
The older daughter didn’t follow. What was the point?
Her grandparents were just old-fashioned believers in the superiority of men over women. If she went in, it would just result in being scolded and rebuked. It was better to stay here with her own mother.
Yang Mei picked up a cloth and began wiping the merchandise on the shelves.
“What do you think grandpa and grandma want this time?”
The older daughter laughed, “Do you even need to ask? It’s definitely because that troublemaker at home has caused another mess, and they want dad to clean it up!” Everyone in that family was lazy and good-for-nothing. Who else would they turn to if not dad?
“Do you think dad might give in again? I’m really worried the old lady and old man will start their crying, making a scene, threatening to hang themselves and dad will be pulled back in. If our family goes back to the old ways, you kids won’t have a good life,” Yang Mei said, unwilling to regress after finally getting to live a decent life.
“Mom, don’t worry. I think dad’s resolve is much stronger now; he’s improved leaps and bounds compared to before. Besides, even if dad wanted to go back to the old ways, you wouldn’t allow it. I heard you speaking so firmly last time, saying that if he dared to secretly support his parents financially, you would divorce him. Why don’t you have that determination now?”
The older daughter teased her mother, and the little toddler in her arms naively asked Yang Mei.
“Grandma, what is divorce?”
Yang Mei’s face twitched, wondering how her daughter could be so disrespectful to her own mother.
“Go ask your mom,” she replied.
The older daughter laughed, hugging her child and said jokingly, “Your grandma just doesn’t want to cook for your grandpa anymore, that’s called a divorce.”
The granddaughter looked puzzledly at her mom, finally understanding, “Oh, so are you and dad divorced now? You just don’t cook for dad anymore.”
Yang Mei burst out laughing.
Served her right! She had shot herself in the foot.
The older daughter laughed out loud, hugging her child deeply.
The sound of laughter from outside permeated through the door, reaching the clear ears of the old lady and old man inside.
They were utterly disgusted.
With such a big crisis at home, about to bring the house down, and those two were there laughing carelessly. The saying is so true–’One does not know a family until one has entered the house’. Could these two be any more of outsiders?
Looking at their granddaughter, it seemed as if she was raised by someone else’s family, not caring at all about her parents’ home.
Fang Jianping, however, had a smile on his face, adoring his grandchildren.
He treated all his grandchildren equally now.
He had learned his lesson in his lifetime about favoring sons over daughters. He definitely couldn’t let his next generation suffer from this issue, as it pained his heart.
Whether a boy or a girl, it was all the same to him.
