After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 366 The Educated Youth Compromising with Reality (29)
Just as Old Man Chen and Old Man Chen got up and dressed, they heard a series of knocks on the door.
Old Man Chen was puzzled. Of all his sons, which one would knock on the door so politely?
The only person who would knock on the door so politely is probably his third son.
Old Man Chen thought it must be his third son returning, while Old Woman Chen gave him a wink, signaling him to hurry up and open the door.
Without saying a word, Old Man Chen quickly opened the door.
Upon seeing that it was indeed his third son, Old Man Chen asked curiously, "Third son, why are you back so early?"
Chen Qishan looked at his father, who was the least noticeable person in the family, and replied expressionlessly, "I have something to tell you guys when I get back."
Old Man Chen was always taciturn, and when he heard what his third son said, he didn't ask any more questions and just let him into the house.
"Oh, then come in. Let's talk inside."
From the moment she heard the third son's voice, Old Lady Chen immediately straightened her back and sat up properly.
She had to be on her guard every time she dealt with her third son.
The third son never visits his parents unless he has a reason.
Old Mrs. Chen figured that he must have come back this time to ask them for help with something.
Upon seeing Chen Qishan enter the house, Old Madam Chen went straight to the point: "I heard you say inside that you came back to see us about something. Just tell me what it is."
They didn't have a good relationship with this third son, so there wasn't much to say in small talk. Old Mrs. Chen went straight to the point.
Chen Qishan had no expectations of his parents' concern, so he didn't stand on ceremony with them and said directly, "I'm back this time to get a divorce."
After thinking about it, he felt that this was not quite right, so he added: "To be precise, Li Meiduo is not my wife at all. You brought her into the family without my consent, and we are not a legally recognized couple."
“We oppose arranged marriages and advocate freedom of marriage. Your actions of going against my wishes and arbitrarily arranging a marriage for me are tantamount to arranging a marriage.”
Old Mrs. Chen was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. Her third son had just entered the house and said such jaw-dropping news.
What? Oppose arranged marriages and advocate for freedom of marriage?
Why didn't they say anything when they brought his wife into the family?
As for those who objected, none of them were present, and Mrs. Chen said she didn't hear anything.
"Why didn't you object earlier or later? Your wife has been married into the family for so many years, and now you're only objecting now? Have you lost your mind?"
Chen Qishan reminded him, "It's not that I don't object; I've already objected, but you wouldn't listen. Since you won't listen, and the woman offered herself up, then you can handle your own affairs. Anyway, I don't consider that woman my wife."
Old Chen also felt that his son was being too irrational. "You already have a child, and you just want a divorce like that? How will your wife face people in the village after this?"
"Society is already very harsh on women, and you're making things even worse for them. Aren't you just adding fuel to the fire?"
Chen Qishan refused to be morally blackmailed. "What does this have to do with me? Did I ask you to bring her back? Besides, the child isn't mine. I'm not going to be a sucker."
When Old Man Chen and Old Man Chen heard their third son say that the child wasn't his, their eyes instantly turned guilty.
They didn't let anyone else know about this, so how did the third brother find out?
Chen Qishan didn't miss their guilty conscience. He chuckled and said, "Oh, it seems you two old folks do know something, so you want your third son to take the blame?"
"Don't push me. If things get out of hand, I can just come back to farming, but your most beloved eldest son will probably have his head shaved in a humiliating way. After all, having an affair is punishable by being paraded through the streets these days."
Upon hearing that her eldest son was to be paraded through the streets, Old Mrs. Chen could no longer sit still.
Pointing at the third brother, she said angrily, "Third brother, don't go too far! He's still your eldest brother, your own brother from the same parents. How can you bear to see your eldest brother being sent to the countryside?"
Chen Qishan had a mocking smile on his lips as he looked at his mother, "What? Just because he's my older brother, does that mean I have to be the sucker and raise his son for him forever? Don't get your hopes up!"
Chen Qishan watched as the two men's chests heaved with anger at him, but pretended not to notice and spoke slowly.
"If this matter can be resolved smoothly today, then I'll pretend nothing happened. From now on, whatever your relationship is, it's none of my business. I won't get involved in your family's affairs anymore, and don't ask me for any retirement allowance. The money I give you is enough for your retirement!"
"How much money did I give you? If you can't remember, I can calculate it for you item by item."
Looking at his third son, whom they had neglected for so many years, Old Man Chen understood that they had truly grown distant from their third son over the years!
Old Chen sighed helplessly and said, "Wife, go and call the third son's wife over."
After thinking for a moment, Old Man Chen added, "And the eldest son too."
The daughters-in-law outside the door were all very curious when they heard the sounds coming from inside the house.
So even if they had something to do, they all strained their ears, wanting to hear clearly what was going on inside.
Not long after, Old Mrs. Chen came out. The daughters-in-law, afraid of being blamed, all pretended to be very busy and worked diligently.
In fact, he was quick with his hands, but didn't get much done.
Old Mrs. Chen glanced at her daughters-in-law, without even looking at the others, and called out directly to Li Meiduo, "Third daughter-in-law, come inside, we have something to tell you."
He then looked at Wu Yanlan and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, go and call the eldest son over."
"Okay!" Wu Yanlan wiped her hands clean after hearing her mother-in-law's words.
They went to their bedroom and called Chen Qilin over.
Once everyone had arrived, Old Lady Chen ignored Li Meiduo's heartbroken crying.
He explained the matter directly, and fearing that something might go wrong, Chen Qishan called over the elders of the Chen family to act as witnesses in the middle of the day.
When he went to call for help, Chen Qishan told the important elders of the Chen family about the matter between Chen Laoda and Li Meiduo.
So when these elders came, they didn't ask many questions; they just acted as witnesses.
The fact that they bothered with this mess doesn't mean they're nosy.
This time, Chen Laosan came to their door in person, and they had no choice but to make the trip because of Chen Laosan's influence.
After all, given the current status of the third son of the Chen family, they might need his help in the future.
This time, the third son of the Chen family got divorced and also divided the family property.
Chen Laosan left with nothing, and Chen Laoniang was extremely reluctant to part with Chen Qishan. She didn't want to give up her capable third son.
But since Chen Laosan had leverage over them, they could only reluctantly agree to his terms.
Chen Qishan knew that this method was not very useful, but as long as he had this excuse, he could speak more politely in the future, right?
