: Getting a Divorce

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Once the tides were turned, w.a.n.g Yang’s wife knew that not only was she going to be facing scolding and accusations, but the w.a.n.g family might even force her to divorce w.a.n.g Yang.

Back when w.a.n.g Yang’s wife was still a young lady, she experienced a surge in status after marrying w.a.n.g Yang, becoming the girl who married best among the relatives. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The w.a.n.g family hadn’t capsized. At the very most, it just hadn’t gotten everything the Zhu family had yet. To her, the w.a.n.g family was still an in-law family with good conditions. If she missed out on w.a.n.g Yang, she would never be able to find another man with similar conditions as him.

She couldn’t bear to part with her status as the daughter-in-law of the w.a.n.g family. She knew that her family couldn’t bear it either. Without the w.a.n.g family, her younger brother might only be able to work for a few days at the job he found with much difficulty. Relying on the fact that w.a.n.g Yang was his brother-in-law, he didn’t need to do much work in the unit. However, the salary he obtained was definitely not little. He was even contracted as a permanent employee instead of a contract worker.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll take care of this matter. I’ll give my dad a call. If you receive a call from home and my dad nags at you, just let him be. Don’t take his words to heart. This d.a.m.ned old man should have been guarding against me since a long time ago. It has nothing to do with you. However, this is a big matter and my parents don’t feel comfortable in their hearts. You must understand if they speak nastily. Understand?”

Compared to biological parents, a wife was naturally not as close. w.a.n.g Yang asked his wife to be the temporary source for the w.a.n.g family to vent their anger and frustration. No matter how the w.a.n.g family scolded her or how unpleasant their words were, she had to coax them as the daughter-in-law of the w.a.n.g family and couldn’t throw a temper at her own in-laws.

w.a.n.g Yang’s wife was from a small household and her family conditions were only better than Qiao Nan’s by a little. What was w.a.n.g Yang after for marrying a wife with such a lowly background? Firstly, her looks. Secondly, this difference where his wife had to remain humble in front of the w.a.n.g family, like a puppy. She shouldn’t be like others and arrogantly lift her tail into the sky like a peac.o.c.k, disrespecting even her in-laws.

w.a.n.g Yang’s wife’s face changed slightly. Although her parents doted on a son more, they weren’t bad to her, the daughter. She was a princess at home. After understanding the meaning in w.a.n.g Yang’s words, no matter how unhappy she was, she didn’t dare to kick up a fuss or not listen to w.a.n.g Yang’s words. There was inherent inequality between her and w.a.n.g Yang to begin with. She had to listen to w.a.n.g Yang’s words. She had to bear with the w.a.n.g family venting their anger and frustration at her.

If she really felt unhappy and fell out with w.a.n.g Yang, her family would be the first to say that she’s stupid and tell her that if she missed out on w.a.n.g Yang, how else would she be able to find another in-law family that was as good as the w.a.n.g family? One had to count their blessings.

She was already used to her family’s rhetoric. Of course, she also had similar thoughts. No matter how angry she was, she just had to accept it.

Indeed, when w.a.n.g Yang shared the situation with his parents, his father immediately started scolding him. “I’ve long said this. What use is there that she has looks? Rather than marrying this woman, you might as well marry Qiao Nan so that she can help our family more.”

It was of course the best if Zhu Chengqi left his money to his son, w.a.n.g Yang. It was alright if there was a will as well. Qiao Nan was their daughter-in-law. Leaving things for Qiao Nan was the same as leaving things for the w.a.n.g family. They were already a family. Could it be that the in-laws couldn’t spend the daughter-in-law’s money?

w.a.n.g Yang held his forehead. “Dad, this happened so long ago. Can we not mention it?” Marrying Qiao Nan?

To be honest, it wasn’t that w.a.n.g Yang didn’t consider this before. He thought of the possibility of doing so. However, after some serious thinking, w.a.n.g Yang gave up on this plan very quickly. There was no choice. w.a.n.g Yang liked his wife to be younger than him. However, Qiao Nan was older. Also, after Zhu Baoguo pa.s.sed away, Zhu Chengqi liked Qiao Nan more than him, the biological nephew. This made w.a.n.g Yang envious of Qiao Nan.

Which man who thought that he was capable in this world would marry a woman whom he didn’t like and was envious of? Wasn’t that being at odds with himself?

As such, w.a.n.g Yang married a woman who was similar in looks to Qiao Nan but was younger than him.

In the end, it was proven that this idea was extremely lousy and useless. They had been married for several years. Zhu Chengqi never looked at this niece-in-law differently or showed her kindness just because she looked similar to Qiao Nan.

After Zhu Chengqi redid his will and left everything from the Zhu family to Qiao Nan, a powerful atomic bomb-like blow was set off.

“Yes, that’s all in the past. You didn’t listen to me and insisted on marrying a woman who had nothing. Yes, everything from the Zhu family would be left to someone with a different surname, but that surname is Qiao and not w.a.n.g!” w.a.n.g Yang’s father felt that he was going to explode. He was such a smart man who managed to coax Zhu Chengqi’s only biological sister. Why was it that the son he gave birth to was totally different from him?

He knew that Zhu Chengqi, his brother-in-law, never liked him before. So what? Even if he didn’t like him, hadn’t he similarly married a daughter from the Zhu family, spent the Zhu family’s money, and used the glory of the Zhu family to improve his own position? So what if a lot of people rolled their eyes at him? It was the most practical to grasp benefits.

Back when w.a.n.g Yang wanted to marry a wife, his father gave him two suggestions. Number one, rather than marrying this woman, it would be better to make Qiao Nan a member of the w.a.n.g family so that the effects would be more p.r.o.nounced. Number two, w.a.n.g Yang could marry a woman who was compatible with the w.a.n.g family’s background and would be helpful in w.a.n.g Yang’s career.

w.a.n.g Yang’s father proposed these suggestions as he was afraid that a situation like this would appear one day. Who knew that his worst fears came true? As such, w.a.n.g Yang’s father couldn’t control his temper and wanted to throw tantrums at w.a.n.g Yang’s wife. Over the years, w.a.n.g Yang’s wife was considered to have worked hard as she gave birth to a son for w.a.n.g Yang and sent this son over to Ping Cheng for her in-laws to take care of him. Otherwise, w.a.n.g Yang’s father wouldn’t want to acknowledge her as a daughter-in-law and would have gotten w.a.n.g Yang to divorce her.

As a father-in-law, w.a.n.g Yang’s father was already dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law previously. Initially, the husband-and-wife pair said that they had kept a close watch on Zhu Chengqi and there wouldn’t be any accidents. However, this accident still happened. w.a.n.g Yang’s father lost all patience with this daughter-in-law who couldn’t be of help in any way.. Upon mentioning this useless daughter-in-law, the disgust in his tone was pretty hurtful.
