Chapter 160: Chapter 161: Divorce_1
Hu’s Clan was also too weak; they were clearly in the right, but Hu’s Clan just couldn’t stand up for themselves—who could help her?
If she simply said she would make a fuss at the village chief’s place or threatened to report them to the authorities, would those two dare to cause a stir?
While they were scared, couldn’t Hu’s Clan easily demand money and a house?
Um... don’t say this is extortion; this is Tan Family’s compensation to Hu’s Clan.
Tan Yuancheng’s eyes twitched, and he said, "Fourth Boss’s House, this is the First Boss’s affair; don’t meddle."
This person from the Fourth Boss’s House was a troublemaker and never let things go when he thought he was right.
Qiao Duo’er said calmly, "What if I just like to meddle in others’ affairs?"
Tan Yuancheng clenched his teeth. What could he do to her?
He simply couldn’t handle this obstinate woman!
The Wang’s Clan mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had not spared Qiao Duo’er their troublemaking, but hadn’t Qiao Duo’er taken care of them neatly each time?
Just like now, Wang’s Clan dared to throw their weight around with Hu’s Clan.
"Big sister, don’t be afraid. You have to fight for Da Ya and Er Ya. You can’t let two adorable girls be reduced to begging, can you?"
Seeing Hu’s Clan still motionless, Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but remind her.
Hu’s Clan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dad, Mom, I do not want anything else. I just want a room where I and my two children can live."
Qiao Duo’er felt helpless. Just one thatched hut?
This was too modest indeed.
But this was Hu’s Clan’s choice, so she didn’t feel it was her place to comment.
Wang’s Clan’s eyes rolled, and she said, "Then clean up the storeroom and move in. First Boss, find some time to get someone to write up the divorce paper."
The storeroom was a low shed next to the east wing room. When it was renovated due to lack of funds, the storeroom was left untouched.
Once First Boss and Hu’s Clan divorced, there would be no need to worry about someone exposing that shabby affair, and she wouldn’t lose out either.
Qiao Duo’er was stunned by Wang’s Clan’s words, but what shocked her even more was that Hu’s Clan actually accepted the arrangement.
And Hu’s Clan moved swiftly, not even leaving her a chance to speak.
"Thank you, Mother." Hu’s Clan was very grateful.
Even if it was only a storeroom, she and her daughters finally had a place to stay, without being homeless.
Once she saved up some money, she could just renovate the place.
Seeing that Hu’s Clan had no objections, Wang’s Clan waved her hand dismissively, "Then, let’s settle it like this."
Suddenly, she glared at Tan Zhengyuan, "Stop being so cozy with some widow all the time. Behave yourself. If you cause any more trouble, I won’t deal with you anymore!"
"Mom, don’t worry, I know!" Tan Zhengyuan hurriedly agreed.
"If you dare to fool around with that woman again, I’ll break your damn legs!"
With this matter settled, Wang’s Clan and Tan Yuancheng went back to the main room. It was still early; they could even get some more sleep.
Meanwhile, Hu’s Clan felt as though all her strength had been drained, sitting on the bed with vacant eyes, watching over Da Ya who had bumped her head.
Was this how they were going to divorce?
Perhaps it was for the best, yet she couldn’t help feeling sad.
She had always been cautious, silent even when she had to endure hardships and grievances, but in the end, she still became a cast-off wife!
"The doctor will be here soon; Da Ya will be fine," said Qiao Duo’er, thinking Hu’s Clan was worried about Da Ya.
Because in her view, successfully getting rid of Tan Zhengyuan was a cause for celebration.
Hu’s Clan wiped away tears and nodded hard.
Tan Zhengyuan glanced at Hu’s Clan, "Hurry up and move out. All this weeping—you’ve made everyone unlucky. Just seeing you is annoying."
But upon seeing Qiao Duo’er’s stern face, he didn’t dare to be insolent and left immediately.
However, he wasn’t headed to Widow Xú’s, but to enjoy a meat feast instead.
