Xiao Xitian pressed her forehead and sighed. Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, are you trying to court death by riding a rocket?
How could she say such things in front of her parents? Wouldn't that just be adding to their troubles...
Yun Sanman's face grew even uglier. Angrily, he grabbed a potato and hurled it at Gao Fengjuan, "You dead thing, I'll kill you!~"
Seeing his daughter about to be beaten, Gao Mantang quickly stepped forward and blocked Gao Fengjuan.
Then, the round potato hit him squarely on the forehead with a 'bang'...
"Ouch!"
"Dad!~"
Gao Mantang was so stunned that stars danced before his eyes. He stumbled back several steps, his portly body trembling slightly.
This old body couldn't handle being hit by a potato.
A large lump swelled on Gao Mantang's forehead, and his head buzzed.
He had actually been hit by his son-in-law today. Where could he possibly hide his old face?
"Dad, are you alright?" Gao Fengjuan supported Gao Mantang and reached out to touch the lump on his forehead.
"Hiss..." Gao Mantang frowned and pushed her away, "Don't touch it, it hurts!~"
If it weren't for this useless thing babbling nonsense, would he have taken that hit?
She really couldn't do anything right.
"Sanman, sit down!" Old Man Yun glared at Yun Sanman.
No matter how angry he was, he shouldn't have resorted to violence...
Xiao Xitian looked at the potato split in two on the ground, covering her chest. My potato, my potato, sob sob sob.
Gu Shi, Da Man, and Er Man also looked displeased.
As they recalled, Gao Mantang had previously said that Sanman and his wife would move back to Dashui Village, and that Gao Jingde would also be changed to Yun Jingde from now on.
They remembered these words very clearly...
Now that Gao Fengjuan suddenly declared a complete severance of relations and no further contact, how could the Yun family be happy?
Anyone with a brain wouldn't say such things in front of the elders!
It was true that Yun Sanman was a live-in son-in-law, but his parents and brothers were all in Dashui Village. Wouldn't they see each other a few times a year and help with chores?
Words spoken too absolutely were unpleasant to hear...
"San, Sanman, I, I didn't mean it like that!" Gao Fengjuan stomped her feet anxiously. "What I meant was, you can help the Yun family with chores, but you also need to be mindful of the time. I know autumn harvest is busy, and if you don't get the crops in quickly, they'll freeze in the fields, but our shop also needs someone to look after it!~"
"Think about it, if we sell all the corn and wheat we harvest, how much is that worth in copper coins? If our shop isn't taken care of, we lose this much every day..."
She made a scissor gesture with her fingers.
It was unclear whether she meant two hundred copper coins or two taels of silver.
Yun Sanman: "..."
In the end, it was still about him earning more money and accumulating wealth for the Gao family!
"The people regard food as their heaven. If you don't grow grain, what will you eat? Dirt?" Yun Sanman clenched his fists and roared.
"Sanman!~" Gao Mantang covered his forehead and sighed slightly. "You are a smart person, you see things clearly. You should know what's more important here. When you came to our Gao family, didn't you also promise to help us with business and manage the silk shop? Why are you going back on your word after a few years..."
"Husband and wife quarrels have no overnight grudges. You're now determined to divorce Fengjuan. Is it because you have another woman outside? It's okay, just tell your father the truth. If you really can't help it, you can bring that woman back to be a concubine. Father will agree to it!~"
Yun Sanman: "..."
Why was everyone saying the same thing?
Where was he supposed to find another woman?
"I don't!" Yun Sanman said sullenly, taking a sip of wine. "I just don't want to be with Fengjuan anymore. Whatever you want to do, do it. The shop belongs to your Gao family, I don't want anything, I'll leave with nothing. But Jingde is my son, if he wants to come over, then don't stop him..."
"Fengjuan is still young, it won't be difficult for her to remarry. And although your family isn't wealthy, you're living comfortably now. The savings you have are enough for your old age or to take in another live-in son-in-law!~"
Yun Sanman was now determined not to have Gao Fengjuan.
No one could stop him.
Xiao Jinheng heard this, put down the potato in his hand, and leaned close to Xiao Xitian's ear, "Little village girl, Sister Cuirong has been divorced, and Sister Fengjuan is also in a precarious situation now. Tell me, will Brother Daman divorce Sister Guihua in the future?"
It seemed that the three daughters-in-law of the old Yun family had all been divorced...
Xiao Xitian glared at him, "Shut up!~"
This brat, can't he wish her family well?
She picked up a cob of corn and stuffed it into Xiao Jinheng's hand, "Eat your corn and don't talk!~"
Xiao Jinheng: "..."
He had had enough of watching the show.
Gao Mantang saw that Yun Sanman's attitude was so firm, and his face fell. "Sanman, you need to think clearly. If you leave with nothing, you won't get anything. Our Gao family won't give you a single copper coin!~"
"Who wants your family's money?" Yun Sanman frowned. "I've earned enough money for your Gao family over the years. Consider it repayment for the famine. I don't want it even if you give it to me..."
Every time he was pointed at and criticized, he felt a surge of regret.
He really wanted to get rid of the Gao family as soon as possible and live with his parents and brothers.
Once, someone had pointed at his nose and cursed him as a freeloader, someone who relied on his wife and father-in-law for everything, useless, incompetent, and shameless...
But Yun Sanman had endured it all.
He felt there was nothing wrong with farming. Even if he had the opportunity to open a shop, it would have to be his, and no one else could dictate to him.
"Fine!~" Gao Mantang closed his eyes and nodded. "Fine, fine, really fine! Sanman, your wings have grown strong, the cage can't hold you, fly away, fly as high as you can. Our Fengjuan will live without you..."
After saying that, Gao Mantang pulled Gao Fengjuan's hand, "Fengjuan, let's go!~"
"Wuwuwu, Dad, our family can't be without Sanman, wuwu!" Gao Fengjuan sat down on the ground and slapped her thighs. "The little bit of property we worked so hard to accumulate is all going to be wasted now. Dad, my heart aches, wuwu..."
Gao Mantang saw her sitting on the ground throwing a tantrum, and he was so angry that he kicked her, roaring, "You useless thing, get up quickly, you embarrassing dead thing, get up!~"
"Dad, I can't get up. As soon as I walk out of the old Yun family's door, Sanman will never come back, wuwu!" Gao Fengjuan refused to get up no matter what.
Gao Jingde couldn't bear to watch and stepped forward to pull Gao Fengjuan. "Mom, please, don't be like this, get up quickly and go back. Your son will definitely come to see you when he has time!~"
Gao Fengjuan: "..."
No, what did his words mean?
Did he want to stay with the old Yun family and not leave, and not want her as his mother anymore?
