Chapter 159: Chapter 160: It’s You Who Got Divorced!_1
If Hu’s Clan raised a ruckus at the village chief’s house, he might lose his life!
"You... what nonsense are you spouting?"
Hu’s Clan, with eyes reddened, growled, "You’ve been mucking around with that vixen for a whole month, even ran off with all the household’s silver coins without caring if the two girls lived or died. You’re the one who should be drowned in the pond!"
Thinking about all the bastardly things Tan Zhengyuan had done, she felt she didn’t deserve this!
Hu’s Clan was very agitated, her chest heaving violently.
The only two words swirling in her mind now were "divorce"!
"Come, follow me to the village chief’s house, I want to divorce you!" Hu’s Clan dragged Tan Zhengyuan outwards.
Tan Zhengyuan, who had been beaten up, was a lot clearer in the head now. He suddenly remembered the matter with the fourth room selling braised meat; that was the fourth room’s.
Hu’s Clan didn’t have a lover on the side, so he felt even more confident.
"Everything in this house is mine, after divorcing you’ll just take the two girls and go beg!"
But this time, Hu’s Clan’s reaction was completely different from what Tan Zhengyuan had imagined. She pulled him out like an ox dragging Tan Zhengyuan outside.
There was no room for negotiation in this matter!
Tan Zhengyuan clenched his teeth, cursing Hu’s Clan in his heart.
This was going to drive him to his death!
He stubbornly refused to go outside, but Hu’s Clan was strong; she still dragged him, bit by bit, towards the door.
Seeing that Hu’s Clan had already gained the upper hand, Qiao Duo’er had Er Ya go fetch Doctor Wu. There were not enough medicinal herbs in her room to treat Da Ya’s wound on her forehead.
She had just settled Er Ya on the bed when another voice interrupted.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill my son?" Wang Clan snatched Tan Zhengyuan away from Hu’s Clan’s grasp.
By this time, half of Tan Zhengyuan’s face was swollen, and Wang Clan’s heart ached terribly for him.
Although she usually didn’t show Tan Zhengyuan a pleasant face, he was her son after all. How could she let others beat him?
Before the Tan Family had split, Wang Clan had often made life difficult for Hu’s Clan, either by denying her food at the slightest disagreement or tormenting the two girls, so seeing Wang Clan made Hu’s Clan’s heart tremble with fear.
Hu’s Clan hurried to explain, "Mother, the eldest son has done such disgusting things, and today he even hit me and Da Ya."
"Are you made of gold or jade? Can’t bear a beating? He has no guts to have a son, but he’s capable of hitting men!" Wang Clan scolded disdainfully.
With his mother backing him up, Tan Zhengyuan immediately perked up.
"I barely hit you, and now you want to kill me? You’ve got some nerve! Let’s see if I don’t beat you to death!"
"Tan Zhengyuan, I want a divorce."
Hu’s Clan didn’t want to get entangled with their mother and son, always bringing up the lack of a son, her ears were nearly calloused from it!
It’s not that she didn’t want to have a son!
But she just couldn’t bear one; could she steal a son to bring home?
Wang Clan spat out contemptuously, "You make it sound so nice, talking about divorce. The Tan Family is the one divorcing you. You can’t even bear a son, what face do you have to stay in the Tan Family?"
"Elder sister, let the village chief handle it. I’ve yet to see someone immersed in a pig cage," remarked Wang Clan’s Heart.
Reminded by Qiao Duo, Tan Zhengyuan felt a chill run down his spine again, and Wang Clan also didn’t dare to speak carelessly.
The matter could be big or small; if Hu’s Clan didn’t complain, others wouldn’t take it seriously.
But once Hu’s Clan made a fuss, the village chief would definitely have to deal with Tan Zhengyuan.
Otherwise, if everyone took up with widows, wouldn’t the village become a breeding ground for corruption?
Tan Yuancheng cleared his throat, "Can’t even live peacefully, always causing trouble, what are you trying to do?"
Qiao Duo’er didn’t pay him any mind, only saying indifferently, "Er Ya has gone to get the village chief. You take your time thinking about what to do."
Out of the entire Tan Family, she despised Tan Yuancheng the most. To oppose him was a most gratifying thing.
