"You're back, why didn't you make a sound?"

Zhang Qian's younger brother, Zhang Peng, walked out of the bedroom with a cigarette in his mouth, and Xu Tianxia frowned unconsciously.

Zhang Peng was an uneducated and incompetent child since childhood. Especially after being born late in life, he was spoiled by Zhang Qian's family and became lawless. A few years ago, when Xu Tian had just married Zhang Qian, he was locked up for a few months for fighting. Unexpectedly, as soon as he was released, he came to him and asked him for tens of thousands of yuan as his brother-in-law. At that time, Xu Tian had never even met him. He never expected that the first time they met, Zhang Peng would ask him for money so naturally.

However, out of consideration for Zhang Qian, and because Zhang Qian had tacitly approved of Zhang Peng's behavior, Xu Tian had no choice but to lend him tens of thousands of yuan in order to please Zhang Qian. Unfortunately, it was like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone without a trace, and Zhang Peng never mentioned repaying the money again.

Xu Tian could tolerate this, thinking that since they were family, he gave Zhang Peng only a few tens of thousands of yuan. What he couldn't stand the most was that every time Zhang Peng came, he insisted on staying in the master bedroom, making the room smelly and smoking there all day long. He had mentioned this to Zhang Qian many times, but Zhang Qian had impatiently yelled at him.

"That's my own brother, what's wrong with him staying here!"

From then on, Xu Tian could only endure it again and again, until now.

"What are you standing there for? Mom is sleeping in that room. It's been half a day and she hasn't eaten yet. Hurry up and get us some food."

As he spoke, Zhang Peng sat down on the sofa as if he were at home, put his smelly feet on the coffee table, and started watching TV.

"Who told you to come uninvited!" Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

Zhang Peng was stunned, looking at Xu Tian as if he were an idiot. "Are you out of your mind? You think you can talk to me like that? Believe me or not, I'll call my sister back."

Xu Tian sneered, "Even if you invited your ancestors here today, it wouldn't make a difference!"

"Damn it, did you eat gunpowder today?!" Zhang Peng angrily threw the remote control on the ground and stood up.

"What's wrong? I can't even sleep peacefully."

Li Cui, Xu Tian's mother-in-law, walked out of the house in disheveled clothes. Xu Tian couldn't bear to look at her. How could this family manage to be so disgusting in every way?

“Ask him!” Zhang Peng glared at Xu Tian.

The mother-in-law started blaming Xu Tian without even asking why.

"Why did you provoke him? We finally come all this way and this is how you treat us? If my Qianqian finds out, she'll start arguing with you again. You always make things like this. How can a grown man like you have no sense of propriety at all?"

"Go cook for my son right now, or I'll call Qianqian and have her come back and deal with you!"

Without saying a word, Xu Tian grabbed Zhang Peng and dragged him outside. Zhang Peng got angry and shook off Xu Tian's arm.

"What's wrong? What do you mean? Are you trying to kick us out?"

Li Cui also got anxious and rushed up to Xu Tian, ​​hitting and kicking him, yelling, "What do you think you're doing! Have you had too many good days and don't want to live anymore? If anyone's going to leave, it's you who should leave, why are you dragging my son away!"

"Get out of here, both of you!" Xu Tian roared.

Li Cui and Zhang Peng stared at Xu Tian in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe those words had come from his mouth.

In the past, whenever they came over, Xu Tian had to serve them like royalty. What's wrong with him now? He dares to talk to them like that.

Thinking of this, Li Cui angrily took out her phone and called Zhang Qian, even putting it on speakerphone.

"Hello, Mom..."

Li Cui glared at Xu Tian and began to complain. Zhang Peng also chimed in, swearing constantly. The two of them talked non-stop in their dialect, which Xu Tian found utterly irritating.

After listening, Zhang Qian paused for a few seconds before saying, "The company has been in trouble these past few days and I need his help. Don't make a scene at home, wait until I get back before we talk."

Zhang Qian had no idea that Li Cui had the phone on speakerphone, but even if Li Cui was naive, she knew what Zhang Qian meant. She quickly turned off the speakerphone, said a few more words, and hung up.

"Look at the mess you've made. The company is in trouble and you didn't even tell me. Haven't eaten yet? I'll make you something to eat."

Li Cui said with an awkward smile.

Zhang Peng snorted coldly, "You talk as if he could really help if the company has problems. After all these years, do you think I don't know what kind of person he is? My sister just spoils him too much!"

"You don't need to worry about who I am for now. When are you going to pay back the money you owe me?" Xu Tian looked at him.

Zhang Peng was taken aback, not expecting Xu Tian to bring this up, but in the blink of an eye, he became confident again.

"What do you mean your money? Isn't it all my sister's money? Who doesn't know that my sister owns a company? Our whole family, including you, is supported by my sister."

"You're only so lucky because you married my sister. Look at any family, who would want to support a husband who just sits around doing nothing all day? You're acting all high and mighty now!"

Xu Tian frowned. He used to think that his wholehearted dedication to this family would earn their approval. Even if he didn't get their approval, people are all made of flesh and blood, and they should remember his kindness over time. But he never expected that he would raise such ungrateful people over the years, including Zhang Qian!

If it weren't for his own efforts, how could he have business dealings with the Xu Group? And this family is completely unaware of it, thinking it's all thanks to his hard work. It's ridiculous! But since they're so ungrateful, Xu Tian doesn't mind taking back everything he's given them!

Although Li Cui listened to Zhang Qian's words and wanted to please Xu Tian, ​​she also felt that Zhang Peng was right. She didn't say a good word for Xu Tian, ​​but instead used the excuse of teaching Zhang Peng a lesson to mock Xu Tian.

"Alright, everyone knows what you've said. You're just making yourself look good."

Finally, she looked at Xu Tian and smiled, "Right, Xu Tian? Qianqian works so hard outside. Even if the company has problems, you will definitely help if you can. Besides, in every family, the man is the one who holds up the sky. Who knew that it would be the other way around when it comes to our Qianqian? As her mother, it breaks my heart..."

Xu Tian sneered, "So you should hurry up and persuade Zhang Qian to divorce me. Dragging this on isn't going to work. Get your daughter out of this misery as soon as possible."

"What? Divorce?" Li Cui was stunned.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Xu Tian? Qianqian works so hard outside, and you still want to divorce her? What's going on?"

Upon hearing that Xu Tian wanted a divorce, Zhang Peng flew into a rage and charged forward, throwing a punch. Xu Tian grabbed his arm and twisted it forcefully, causing Zhang Peng to howl in pain.

Li Cui panicked and, ignoring Zhang Qian's instructions, started cursing loudly.

"Xu Tian, ​​what exactly do you want? You coward, what else can you do besides hitting your own family? If anything happens to my son, I will never forgive you!"

Xu Tian looked at them dismissively, "Hurry up and pack your bags and get out of here, I've already sold this house!"
