“Sister Zhai Hua, I know you’re unwilling to take this lying down, but no matter how unwilling you are, you’re not yet fifty. If you decide not to get divorced in an act of defiance now, you’ll recall the scene you witnessed today every time you see Wei De in the future. Won’t that be too difficult for you?”

“Mom, get a divorce. I’ll support you. If you really get a divorce, I’ll follow you.” Jiajia did not really want to say anything now, but she had to say these words.

“Jiajia, do you really think that I should get divorced too? If I really get divorced, you won’t have a father.” Zhai Hua could choose not to listen to other people, but she had no choice but to listen to her daughter.

Jiajia laughed bitterly. “Mom, how big of a difference could it be from now given the situation?”

“All right, then, I’ll get divorced.” Zhai Hua nearly chipped a tooth from grinding them together. She would have to face it eventually. “Qiao Nan, what do you think I should do next? My mind is filled with… I can’t consider many things rationally anymore.”

“Test their DNAs and prove that Wei Wei is Wei De’s son. Then, find someone to investigate Wei De’s and Wei Xiaomei’s situation back in the countryside. When you married him at that time, his military status should have shown that he was unmarried. I know that people in the countryside usually have the practice of holding wedding dinners but not applying for marriage certificates. But now that our country’s laws are more comprehensive, even marriages that are done through wedding dinners without getting certificates are now legally recognized. He committed bigamy by hiding the truth of his marriage and denying his relations.h.i.+p with Wei Xiaomei to marry you. Just based on this alone, he’ll be punished quite severely by the law.”

They had to prove that Wei Wei was indeed Wei De’s son. Because Wei De was a soldier, cheating in his marriage was already something that Wei De would be harshly punished for. But that was not enough. For Sister Zhai Hua to completely rid herself of Wei De, the key was proving Wei Wei’s blood relation to Wei De.

Reality was different from her dream. In her dream, Sister Zhai Hua had only been Wei De’s girlfriend. To put it bluntly, dating involved two people, but as long as one party was firm enough, a breakup was inevitable. However, marriage was much more complicated. If Sister Zhai Hua wanted to get divorced but Wei De refused to do so, it might take a long time before a divorce would become official.

However, if they could prove that Wei Wei was Wei De’s son and that Wei De had gotten together with another woman behind Sister Zhai Hua’s back during their marriage, it would be an entirely different case. If Sister Zhai Hua were to propose a divorce, there was no way it would be rejected.

“All right. A DNA test.” Zhai Hua had been part of the military as well and was clear about the strict discipline required of soldiers. Thinking about Wei De’s sense of belonging and ambition in the military, Zhai Hua’s heart was filled with revenge and pleasure. “He’s still dreaming of becoming a regiment commander? After committing such immoral acts, I’ll see if he can continue staying in the military!”

In reality, what Zhai Hua was talking about was exactly what Wei De, who was still lying in a hospital bed, was afraid of. Looking at his parents by his side, Wei De’s expression was pale. “Where’s Jiajia? Mom, Dad, hurry and get Zhai Hua out of the police station before the Zhai family gets here. We have to settle this amicably without blowing this up. Once you bail Zhai Hua out, remember to lecture me in front of Zhai Hua and beg for her forgiveness on my behalf.”

“Why?” Mother Wei screamed with a shrill voice. “As a wife, she was bold enough to beat her husband up so badly. She deserves to go to jail! I hope that she spends the rest of her life in jail!” Thankfully, times had changed. Otherwise, a wife like Zhai Hua would definitely be beaten to death by her in-laws, and even then, it would have been justified.

“I think it’s better if I go.” Father Wei sighed. “Your mom clearly can’t think straight. Your mom cares deeply about you, but she doesn’t know how to do it right. If we let your mom go, I’m afraid that the matter will only get more complicated. When that time comes, we won’t even be able to clean up the mess. Ah De, don’t you think that you were wrong? How could you and Xiaomei… And you were even caught red-handed by Zhai Hua!”

At the thought of this situation, Father Wei did not know whether to reprimand his son or to deal with Wei Xiaomei.

l.u.s.t was truly dangerous. Xiaomei had grown up together with Ah De and was not an attractive woman. He could not understand how Ah De could have faulted in such a thing given his intelligence.

“Don’t talk about it.” Wei De was frustrated too. Although such things had not happened often, he had never once been caught. Over time, Wei De had gotten used to having such a married life, feeling that Wei Xiaomei’s gentleness lifted his mood.

He had never expected to be caught in the act by Zhai Hua! If he had known about this earlier, he would never have touched even a strand of Wei Xiaomei’s hair.

Father Wei had to prepare for the worst. “Ah De, have you ever thought about what will happen if Zhai Hua decides to get a divorce from you because she found out about you and Xiaomei? Zhai Hua has already gone to the police station, and this is no small matter. Do you really think you will be able to hide this from the rest of the Zhai family?”

“Do you mean that Zhai Hua has the right to beat Ah De up? Even if the Zhai family finds out about it, they should be the ones apologizing to us. Look at the kind of daughter they raised!” Mother Wei said indignantly.

This time, Wei De was truly incensed. “Mom, things have already reached such a stage. Can you stop adding fuel to the fire? If you continue being like this… Anyway, Dad, you’ll deal with Zhai Hua alone. Don’t let my mom get involved. And Mom, remember not to say a word in front of Zhai Hua and the Zhai family unless you want to disown me!”

Wei De did not have that air of superiority that Mother Wei did.

Not only had he cheated on his wife but he had also been caught red-handed by his wife and daughter! No matter how one looked at it, he was definitely at fault. Zhai Hua was not in the wrong even if she had hit him. If the Zhai family found out about this, they would never let him off. As such, he had to hide it from them at all costs.

“Dad, my mom is an old foggy. I think it’ll be good as long as she doesn’t drag me down now. Dad, you’re the only one I can rely on now. You have to help me convince Zhai Hua not to take issue with this and not tell the Zhai family about this incident. I promise that I’ll never meet Wei Xiaomei again in the future. I’ll admit my guilt and allow her to punish me in whatever way she deems fit. I’ll listen to whatever she says.”

“Ah De, you hurt me with those words. Don’t you know that I did everything for your sake?” Mother Wei was sad. She had thought of her son wholeheartedly, but her son had said that she was less reliable than his father! Why was she unreliable? She was the most reliable person around!

Father Wei could not help but smack the back of Mother Wei’s head. “You still don’t admit that you’re a fool!”
