Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

"You want your mother to come too? Do you think I'm already tired enough taking care of your whole family?" Liu Ping looked at the man in front of her with a face full of resentment.

Wen Zhaoyuan wanted to divorce her and get rid of her, but that was impossible; she wasn't stupid.

The two children are already grown up and will be able to get married in a few years. When they start working, they can take care of her in her old age and be her support.

They were raised by themselves, and although they were more inclined to favor Wen Zhaoyuan, their 'capable' father, they were still grateful to their mother.

These are all feelings.

Wenji knew how much she valued Wen Zhaoyuan and how she secretly supported him, so she didn't react much when Wen Zhaoyuan said he wanted to bring Wenji over.

With his help to pick up and drop off the second child, and by doing housework at home, he can also go out and do some odd jobs to earn some money.

Now Wen Zhaoyuan has become more shrewd. Apart from the money used at home, he refuses to give her any more money than usual. Even the tuition and living expenses for the two children no longer go through her hands as before.

Liu Ping knew, of course, that he was wary of her and wanted his two sons to know who was actually making money and that she, their mother, had never brought in a single penny for the family.

How could she not be angry?

Her sister-in-law also gave her some advice, telling her not to bury herself in doing everything diligently anymore, but to let her two children do some chores as well, so they would know just how tiring it is to do these chores all the time.

People can't be idle. While you can still work, seize the time to go out and earn some money and keep it in your own hands.

Liu Ping naturally believed her sister-in-law's words. Her sister-in-law was neither good-looking nor well-off, but ever since she married into the Liu family, she had kept everyone under her thumb.

Even her hot-tempered older brother listened to her every word.

As it turned out, her sister-in-law was right. Her two sons, who were initially somewhat dissatisfied with her, now knew to help her with things and no longer ignored her as before.

On the contrary, Wen Zhaoyuan started to get anxious. His two sons frowned and retorted to his own harsh words.

This made Liu Ping secretly delighted. Let him be anxious. When he gets old and has a lot of injuries, won't she be the one to call the shots?

If you like serving him, then serve him; if you don't, then just wait to die.

The first thing Wen Zhaoyuan did after realizing something was wrong was to stop her from going out to do odd jobs, wanting to keep her at home and continue as before.

This is basically exactly what my sister-in-law guessed.

Liu Ping refused to agree no matter what, even though he said he would let her control all the money from now on.

She wouldn't do that. She's not stupid. If she said she would manage the money, and the three of them spent it all, they would blame her. Wouldn't that be terrible for her?

The two sons would then blame themselves.

Wen Zhaoyuan had a good plan.

Things are different now. Just like my sister-in-law said, since he wants to control the money so much, then let him control it.

If she doesn't have money for her two sons' weddings, she'll cry, blaming it all on her father, Wen Zhaoyuan, for being incompetent, and not on herself as the mother.

Wen Zhaoyuan could no longer maintain his former tough stance; he could no longer control Liu Ping.

"She insisted on staying with my father, what could I do?" He was somewhat helpless.

It was clearly agreed from the beginning that he would take care of his father in his old age, and the second son would take care of his mother in his old age. What's going on now?

The money his mother has spent has gone either to her family or to his second son, and has nothing to do with him. So how is he supposed to support his wife in her old age?

He really couldn't play the bad guy, after all, the Wen family's reputation was already so bad that he would rather let Liu Ping play the bad guy than lose his own reputation.

"That's your problem. If you really take them over, I won't care about either of them. You can live with the two of them, and I'll cook for my son alone." Liu Ping had learned her lesson and passed the buck back to Wen Zhaoyuan.

Wen Zhaoyuan didn't expect her to react so quickly. "You...we're family, how could you say such a thing?"

Liu Ping sneered, "You've schemed against the entire Wen family, and now you're scheming against me? Don't dream about it. Bring them all over here and see what your two sons think."

These two kids are cunning and have a strong sense of self-esteem.

What if his classmates find out that his family members are murderers? Who knows what kind of chaos they'll cause when he gets home? The family finally managed to escape the Wen family, and now his father wants to bring him back—won't that cause an uproar?

Wen Zhaoyuan hesitated upon hearing this.

"This isn't urgent. I'll think about it for a couple more days before making a decision." He was also worried that it might affect him.

His current job is a "secure job".

Wang Hong looked at Wen Xianggu with disappointment. "I've been so good to you. I've never let you suffer a bit since I married you, but you value your family so much?"

"Even if they all bully and humiliate you?! You still have to work so hard today to save up your own food and sell your clothes at a loss to help them out?"

He dragged Wenxianggu all the way home, completely disregarding the fact that he still had to go to work.

Wen Xianggu lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I didn't take anything valuable, I was just selling my own clothes."

"Didn't I buy these things for you? These are all tokens of my affection, and you just trample on them like this?"

"What exactly do you want from me?" Wang Hong roared hysterically.

Grandma had discovered this long ago, but she kept ignoring Grandma's warnings and insisting on doing such a stupid thing. Grandma just couldn't stand it anymore.

I don't want to see him suffer again.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I called him and he caught me red-handed.

"I won't do this again. This is the last time. You know, my parents are all alone now and can only rely on me. If I don't help them, they will definitely starve to death." Wen Xianggu looked at him with a sorrowful expression.

Wang Hong wiped away his tears and, unlike before, did not patiently explain to her that her parents were not short of money at all, especially since they had an older son with a job.

He didn't want to see this happen to the Wen family either. Wen Xianggu could have discussed this matter with him properly and figured out how to help the two elderly people.

But she didn't; she remained the same as before, and life just couldn't go on anymore.

"Let's get a divorce. You go back to help them, support them, and our son can stay with me." Wang Hong showed no pity for her.

In the past, he would have felt sorry for Wen Xianggu.

But the two children in the family are grown up, and Grandma and Dad are both in poor health. What if he passes away one day?

He couldn't bear to imagine how he would treat his two children.

"What did you say?" Wen Xianggu looked at Wang Hong in disbelief.

How could he possibly say that? He loves himself so much...
