My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 288 Be a welder for life

This talk just happened to scratch Chen Jiefang’s itch.

He had indeed been thinking about it for a long time.

He had thought the same since over a decade ago.

But.

Suddenly getting divorced, he actually felt a bit uneasy about it.

So he didn’t respond right away.

Chen Ziqiang didn’t care whether his parents divorced or not; he just wanted his mother to live well.

For him, Chen Jiefang leaving the family might actually be better for him and his mother.

Chen Jiefang might have thought that no one had noticed him stealing food from home, but Chen Ziqiang had always known.

It was just that Chen Ziqiang thought his father took food for making him special meals.

Only now did he realize that it was for the woman outside.

Knowing this truth, Chen Ziqiang actually wished his parents would separate.

One was a father who always lived in a drunken stupor, oblivious to familial responsibilities, and the other was a mother laboring with all her might, weary with illness.

Of course, his heart ached for his mother, who habitually kept all the good things for him.

If his mother wanted to divorce, then let it be!

After all, he was there, and he wouldn’t let his mother end up alone in her old age.

Chen Ziqiang supported Zhao Honghua and looked towards Chen Jiefang with a chilling look in his eyes.

"Even if you and my mom divorce, I would still call you dad," he said.

"My mom has done enough for the Chen Family; if you still have a conscience, let her go!"

Using the word "let go" in this context was exceptionally harsh.

Chen Jiefang couldn’t rebuke it.

Even if he was the worst of men, he couldn’t ignore Zhao Honghua’s contributions.

Otherwise, the villagers would have torn him apart.

Seeing Zhao Honghua’s firm stance and witnessing her own son agreeing to the divorce, some onlookers who found the situation distasteful also started convincing him.

The majority, having seen Zhao Honghua’s hardships, sided with her.

Especially the women of the brigade felt more empathy for her.

Having worked hard for a family for decades, to end up without a word in her favor was one thing, but to have her own man become someone else’s was unbearable for anyone!

"Jiefang, since Honghua wants to divorce, you should just agree," said Granny Yang, who was speaking.

She rarely interfered in the village affairs, and it was unclear why she spoke up today.

"If you like Hua Xing, just stay with her and stop harassing Honghua."

"She has done enough for your Chen Family; there is a limit to one’s blessings, you can’t be so greedy."

Just like herself.

As a child, she was pampered by her parents.

After getting married, her husband lovingly protected her, not letting her worry about anything.

But what happened later? Her husband and child passed away, leaving her an old widow.

If it weren’t for the brigade people remembering her son as a hero who gave his life for the country, and looking after her with great care, her old bones would have turned to dust long ago.

Granny Yang’s words were just shy of expressly saying, you shameless pair should just get lost for good.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiefang’s face turned beet red.

At this point, others also started persuading him.

The women said, "Ziqiang was raised by his mother, and has nothing to do with you as a father."

"Now he’s grown up, and doesn’t need you anymore."

"...Honghua is willing to acquiesce to you star-crossed lovers; you might as well just agree cleanly."

"Or are you saying... you want to have your cake and eat it too?"

Once this was said, the expressions of those watching were filled with disdain.

A man whistled like he was enjoying a show.

"Is that so?"

"Chen Jiefang, we were all mistaken about you, didn’t think your heart could be so wild..."

Before he could finish, his ear was twisted by his wife.

With coldly raised eyebrows, she scolded, "What? Are you envious? Or do you want me to let you go?"

The man was immediately cowed.

Raising his hands above his head.

He begged for mercy with a serious expression.

"Wife, don’t be angry, I was wrong, I just spoke without thinking, don’t you know what kind of person I am?"

The woman graciously let go, but did not spare her husband a tongue-lashing.

"Good that you know! If you dare mess around outside, I will take the children, son and daughter, back to my parents’ home."

This highlights the importance of having a reliable family to fall back on.

At least, when it comes to keeping the men in check, the backup is very strong.

Ignoring the mushily affectionate couple, those who had come for the spectacle continued to focus on Chen Jiefang, urging him on.

"If you really fancy Widow Hua, just go ahead and divorce!"

"It’s because of the two of you that the brigade has been mired in miasma! freeωebnovēl.c૦m

You’re already halfway into the grave, still stirring up trouble every day, I can only say the work in the field isn’t hard enough."

Lin Fu and other brigade leaders thought this made sense and planned to increase their workload the next day.

The brigade hadn’t encountered an issue like today’s for several years.

It was enough to nearly blind them!

Chen Jiefang, surrounded and ridiculed by onlookers, didn’t know what sort of face to make.

In addition, as he really wanted to create a family with Bai Yueguang, he didn’t think too much and agreed to the divorce.

Li Xiuli was sending Lin Tang home.

The young girl avoided the subject, dawdling, unwilling to leave.

When Li Xiuli heard that Chen Jiefang had agreed to the divorce, she didn’t even bother sending off her daughter anymore and elbowed her way forward, grabbing Lin Qingshan’s arm.

"Qingshan, write a divorce statement for your Aunt Honghua, and after you write it, have your uncle stamp it," she said.

In those days, villagers didn’t really have marriage certificates; a divorce just required a written statement.

After instructing Lin Qingshan, she then stared intimidatingly at Chen Jiefang.

"We are all watching here; everything at home is managed by Honghua and Ziqiang, which has nothing to do with you, don’t think about taking advantage."

"The eyes of the public are clear, if you dare to bully Honghua and Ziqiang, just see if we agree to it."

Now, the Lin Family carried considerable weight in their words within the brigade.

Having expressed her stance, the village women also spoke up.

"Xiuli is right, we are all watching you, don’t think about bullying anyone."

"The Captain and others are here too, and they won’t allow you, a man who has no job, to empty the house."

You could say people were actually capable of doing such things.

After all, he hadn’t divorced yet, but he was already taking things from the house.

This wasn’t just their idle talk; that’s what Ziqiang had said.

Chen Jiefang still wanted to live in the village, so he couldn’t go too far.

He immediately agreed to the demand.

"Fine, I don’t want anything, not even the house," he declared.

With those words, it was as if he was walking away with nothing.

In Chen Jiefang’s mind, Widow Hua already had a house.

As for food, he was strong and still capable of working; surely, he could get food, right?!

Lin Qingshan was squatting on the ground, leaning on a small stool to write the divorce agreement.

Hearing Chen Jiefang’s statement, his eyes flashed as he said, "Uncle Chen means that you don’t want anything? Okay, then I’ll write that down."

After speaking, he added it to the agreement.

Chen Jiefang thought there was nothing of value at home and did not say a word.

Widow Hua, on the other hand, had her sights set on the two pigs at the Chen Family’s home.

She had heard that the pigs were exceptionally sturdy, and when the time came, they would likely fetch a good price.

But with so many onlookers present, she didn’t dare to mention it!

Her frustration was palpable.
