Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child
Chapter 41 The Ex-Husband in the Historical Fiction 7
Uncle Shao was speechless, but Aunt Zhao Fang took over, glaring and shouting:
“Sun Xiulan, are you determined to drive our family to our deaths? We’ve already said we borrowed from the public funds first, it’s not like we’re not going to pay it back.”
Uncle Shao had recovered by now, and put on a nice-natured act, scolding his wife a couple of times, saying that she had no manners when asking for help. He said they were all family, and everyone had difficult times, so why shouldn't everyone lend a hand?
"It's normal for family members to have some friction from time to time. Even teeth can bump into lips sometimes. When it really matters, your own brothers are the most reliable."
As Uncle Shao spoke, tears streamed down his face. Coupled with his torn clothes from the fight with the third branch of the family and his body covered in bruises, he looked truly pitiful.
Uncle Shao and Uncle Shao's face looked unpleasant.
After all, they've been brothers for decades; how could there be no feelings between them?
If the eldest son's wife continues to act arrogantly, they can fight back. What they fear most is if the eldest son suddenly softens and plays the emotional card.
The two brothers below exchanged glances, unable to get over the hurdle in their hearts, and said irritably, "You two have said everything, good and bad, so what else can we say?"
"You can borrow, but you have to write an IOU, and everyone's name has to be included."
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, the eldest son's family smiled, thinking that the matter was settled. However, they did not expect that they would have to sign and put their fingerprints on it, and the corners of their mouths that had been turned up immediately fell down again.
Zhao Fang has a bad temper. Because she gave birth to two sons, she felt that she had made the greatest contribution to the Shao family. She usually liked to act like the eldest sister-in-law and lecture her two sisters-in-law.
She had just been scolded by her husband, and although she knew it was all an act, she was still holding her breath. Now, when she heard that the two families below were conspiring to scheme against her, she immediately became unhappy.
One moment he's slapping his thigh, saying the second and third wives are cold-blooded and deliberately making things difficult for the first wife; the next moment he's running to the front door, sitting on the ground and rolling around, crying and wailing that his brothers are forcing him to die, that he can't live anymore, and asking everyone to judge the situation.
Uncle Shao was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. He looked at Aunt Shao with eyes that seemed to be hiding knives, and he felt a chill down his spine.
However, it's understandable. Anyone would be annoyed to have a wife like that, given how badly things turned out.
Not to mention Uncle Shao and his father, who were already nodding along with their noses in their hands.
Shao Linshen, seizing the opportunity, whispered in Shao's father's ear:
"Dad, you saw it too. Uncle's family never intended to pay back the money. They were just trying to fool us."
"Nonsense, do you think I don't know?" Mr. Shao rolled his eyes at his son, gestured towards Old Master Shao, and whispered:
"Your grandpa is biased. No matter how much we complain, he might still lend it to us later."
But if he didn't make a scene, it would make his family seem easy to bully, and every time something happened in the future, his second and third wives would be the ones to suffer the consequences.
“Then let’s split up. It’s good that we can live our own lives. I’m worried that I’ll get killed by these poisonous snakes one day.”
Shao Linshen wasn't the type to keep his grievances to himself; he had a mouth, and he was going to speak out.
If even your own father wouldn't reveal it, wouldn't that be pure self-torture for a fool?
Seeing his father looking at him with surprise, Shao Linshen leaned close to his ear and told him everything about how He Xinlian had drugged him and left him in the dilapidated house at noon.
Upon hearing this, Shao's father was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged and his fists clenched so tightly that they cracked. If he weren't afraid of exposing what his son had done, he wouldn't have cared about his principle of not hitting women and would have directly grabbed the man surnamed He and beaten him to death.
Seeing his father so angry that his head was practically steaming and his nostrils were flaring, Shao Lin quickly patted his chest to calm him down.
The others in the main room, seeing Shao's father's appearance, assumed he was angered by Zhao Fang's reckless behavior and did not notice anything unusual about the father and son.
Shao's father slapped his son's hand away and glared at him angrily. This brat always complains about being tired when he works, but this time he's slapping someone hard enough to leave a bruise.
"We'll split it up. If anyone doesn't, I'll fight them."
Shao's father gritted his teeth, each word uttered with gusto, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at the eldest son's group.
As expected, things unfolded exactly as Shao's father had predicted. When Old Master Shao saw the eldest son's family kneeling before him, weeping bitterly, he, who was already biased, immediately prepared to go inside to get the money.
Uncle Shao and Uncle Shao tried to stop them, but the old man kicked each of them, accusing the two brothers of being cold-blooded and inhuman.
"What nonsense are you spouting? The old man isn't dead yet. It's not your place to run this household."
Shao's father, his face full of resentment, stood blocking the old man's path and refused to move, stubbornly saying:
"Dad, if you keep showing such favoritism, our whole family won't be able to live together anymore."
I'm making this clear: if you insist on taking the money, then we're dividing the family property. My second brother and I aren't hired hands for my eldest brother's family; we don't want our sons and daughters to suffer like slaves in the future.
These words infuriated Old Master Shao to the point of collapse, but apart from Uncle Shao's family, who were still kneeling on the ground, offering a few words of concern, no one else went up to help him up.
Everyone was holding their breath in resentment.
Uncle Shao was unaware that Uncle Shao had made such a big fuss, actually thinking of dividing the family property.
But the thought of how the eldest son had taken over the house and forced his daughters to sleep on the floor in the main room because of his wife's marriage made him feel disgusted.
There are too many people in the family and not enough rooms, so everyone is anxious. But it doesn't make sense to make the other two families suffer just for the sake of the eldest son's family.
This time, when the eldest son of the eldest son got married, he made his daughters sleep in the main room. When the youngest son of the eldest son gets married next time, will the uncle have to vacate the room again?
No one can stand living such a miserable life.
Grandpa Shao clutched his chest and kept shouting that Uncle Shao and Father Shao were unfilial, while Zhao Fang and the others chimed in.
But for the other two families, these are trivial matters. In their eyes, the eldest son's family is now a pile of stinking dog shit, and they feel disgusted even by being near them.
They dared not talk back when the old man scolded them, but as soon as the eldest son's family members opened their mouths, everyone worked together to fight back. The first one to be targeted was He Xinlian, the culprit of today's incident. The women in the family seized every opportunity to beat and scold her.
He Xinlian was humiliated and had to endure the insults from these people, and the anger in her heart was rising.
In a moment of impulsiveness, she simply told her in-laws and husband about her job.
"Let's split up then, so they don't benefit from us and we don't get any nice treatment. Once we split up, we'll be in charge of our own lives, and we won't have to hand over our wages. We'll live a much more comfortable life."
He Xinlian felt relieved by what she said, but she didn't notice the change in the eyes of the other members of the eldest son's family.
Shao Jianjun, in particular, was not happy at first; instead, he wondered why she hadn't told him before.
and also--
Shao Jianjun initially suspected that his wife was plotting against his cousin, but he ended up being retaliated against instead.
Yes, he had always known that there was a conflict between his cousin and his wife.
In He Xinlian's words, Shao Linshen had secretly dated her before, but she ended up with his older brother. She was afraid that Shao Linshen would hold a grudge against her, so she wanted to strike first.
At the time, Shao Jianjun only felt that husband and wife were one, and since no one would die, he didn't care about the tricks his wife played in private.
But now, Shao Jianjun suspects that today's performance might be a trap set by this woman to try and divorce him.
After all, she'll be a working person in the future, even if it's just a temporary job, her status and position will be different from mine.
'Does she want a divorce?'
Shao Jianjun looked at the woman in front of him who was still arguing, his eyes becoming dark and unreadable.
He Xinlian was unaware that her husband had been thinking of countless things in such a short time, and was still trying to find excuses to cover it up:
"I was afraid that if I told everyone beforehand, they would be disappointed."
"And I only found out about this yesterday. I was planning to tell you all about it sometime, but who would have thought something like this would happen today."
"It's alright, it's not too late to tell now."
Uncle Shao, with a beaming smile, nudged his wife with his elbow, signaling her to watch her expression, and then stated:
“We’re all family, there’s no need to be so calculating. Let’s just talk it out. Fang, don’t you think?”
Zhao Fang forced a smile, suppressing her anger and not wanting to speak, so she just nodded and gave a perfunctory reply.
