Chapter 563: Chapter 561 Conditions

Wang Yongfu and Wang Yonggui also felt Wang Laozhu was being too harsh. For so long now, as long as one had eyes, who couldn’t see how good their younger sister was? Why was it that their real father always had to pick faults?

But as sons, they couldn’t really criticize their father, though their faces did show a trace of displeasure.

Unable to hold back, Wang Yonggui muttered, "Now I see clearly, as long as it’s related to our eldest sister, even if we were to give our hearts out, we’d never receive any appreciation! It seems that eldest sister is indeed your favorite daughter, Dad; you seek her out when you need her and turn your back when you don’t ..."

"You ... you little rascal, is that any way to talk?" Wang Laozhu flung the plane tool towards him.

Wang Yonggui swiftly dodged.

Two figures appeared at the door.

Wang Yongping, leading Sun Mutou, came in.

Sun Mutou still knew some manners, first kowtowing to Wang Laozhu and Old Granny Zhang, then paying respects to Wang Yongfu and Wang Yonggui.

Excited, Wang Laozhu looked at Sun Mutou, wanting to grab him and ask questions, but Sun Mutou knelt directly in front of Wang Yongzhu, "Aunt, I’ve thought it through! I want to take my mother away from the Sun Family, from now on, I will take care of her myself!"

Wang Yongzhu looked into Sun Mutou’s eyes, "Are you sure? You have to understand, once you leave the Sun Family, you’ll never be able to return."

"I’ve made up my mind! Nothing will happen to the Sun Family without me, but if my mother doesn’t have me, she probably won’t survive!" Sun Mutou nodded firmly.

Wang Yongzhu was somewhat impressed by Sun Mutou’s resolve, not expecting that from a family like the Sun’s, it was possible to raise a child like Sun Mutou who still had a conscience.

To unexpectedly find a good shoot in a nest of bad bamboos, Wang Yongzhen’s life was not a complete failure after all.

Thinking this, she instructed Wang Yongping, "Fourth Brother, take him downstairs to wash his face and get him something to eat."

Wang Yongping was taken aback, but Liu Xiaoqiao hurriedly signaled him with her eyes, and then he took Sun Mutou out.

As soon as Sun Mutou was out, Wang Yongfu furrowed his brows, "This is not going to be easy to handle. It’s already hard enough to bring back our eldest sister, let alone to take a child from the Sun Family, and even if Old Lady Sun is willing to let go, the others in the Sun Family surely won’t."

The Sun Family was a large clan; Old Lady Sun might not care for her grandson, but the Sun Family Patriarch, as long as he was of sound mind, wouldn’t hand over someone of Sun Family blood to outsiders.

Moreover, we are not talking about a child of two or three years, but a man who is of age to start a family. Who would let go?

If they really went through with it, the Sun Family would no longer be able to hold their heads high.

Wang Yonggui seemed unconcerned, "What’s the big deal? Just give some money to the Sun Family Patriarch ..." He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembering, why should they give money at all?

Immediately he corrected himself, "We can’t give money! We have to make the Sun Family drive our eldest sister out themselves; that would be better."

After all the talk, the final decision still had to come from Wang Yongzhu.

They all looked at Wang Yongzhu.

Yet, Wang Yongzhu was looking at Old Granny Zhang, inquiring in her mind, "Xiao Tiantian, can you scan Wang Yongzhen’s condition now?"

"No problem, Host Big Big," Xiao Tiantian quickly replied.

"Then scan Wang Yongzhen’s current condition, see how long she can hold on?"

About half a minute later, Xiao Tiantian reported, "Report to Host Big Big, Wang Yongzhen is currently suffering from persistent high fever, and if she doesn’t receive effective treatment by tomorrow afternoon, her life will be in danger."

With this information, Wang Yongzhu felt more certain.

Pulling Old Granny Zhang aside, she asked softly, "Mother, I just want to ask you one thing, do you really not want to stay with Dad any longer?"

Old Granny Zhang decisively nodded. What did she have to fear now? Her daughter was wealthy, and her daughter’s marriage had been arranged; even if she divorced Wang Laozhu, she wouldn’t be afraid—she could simply live with her daughter.

"I’ve followed him all these years, enduring so much hardship. The only days of comfort I’ve had have been thanks to my daughter. Good fortune never comes my way, but trouble always finds me. I don’t want to serve him anymore. Besides, if his eldest daughter really is taken back, who knows how many troubles will arise with your dad’s character."

"I’m old now. Am I still supposed to look after his daughter and grandson? Where in the world is there such a good deal?"

Wang Yongzhu looked at Old Granny Zhang. In this family, the only person she truly cared about was naturally Old Granny Zhang. If Old Granny Zhang wasn’t happy, why should she bind the person she cared about the most for the sake of others?

Thinking this, she smiled slightly and turned to Wang Laozhu, "Dad, I can agree to bring Eldest Sister back and help them divorce from the Sun Family, but I have one condition."

Wang Laozhu suddenly had a bad feeling, "What condition? You’re bringing your Eldest Sister back and still want a condition? As a family—"

"If you don’t agree, then you can go by yourself!" Wang Yongzhu decisively interrupted Wang Laozhu’s words.

Wang Laozhu swallowed nervously, "What condition?"

"Once I bring Eldest Sister back, have a ’Divorse’ with mom," Wang Yongzhu casually dropped a bombshell.

"What?"

"Youngest Sister, what nonsense are you spouting?"

...

Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded except for Old Granny Zhang, who tightened her grip on Wang Yongzhu’s hand.

Wang Yongzhu patted her hand, giving Old Granny Zhang a look that said, "I’ve got this."

"Youngest Sister, what’s gotten into you? How could you suggest such an absurd condition? Mom and Dad have been together for most of their lives—how could they ’Divorse’?" Wang Yongfu was almost driven crazy.

"Exactly, Youngest Sister, you can’t talk nonsense. If Mom and Dad get a ’Divorse,’ what will happen to us?" Even if Wang Yonggui had been mixing in the outside world for many years, he was still startled by his little sister’s drastic move.

"You little scoundrel, you unfilial girl, you’re turning the heavens upside down!" Wang Laozhu was so enraged he could ascend to heaven in a rage.

Where in the world was there a daughter who would instigate her parents to ’Divorse’?

Jindou and Jinhoo were also stunned. The youngest aunt actually agreed? From the looks of it, it was more than just an agreement, it was support?

The two became panicked at once. If it was just the granny arguing with the granddad, shouting about ’Divorse,’ everyone would just think the old couple was just bantering.

But when the youngest aunt spoke up, it became a serious matter.

On the other hand, Old Granny Zhang stood up, "Wang Laozhu, dare to insult my daughter again and see what happens! I make it clear today, insult my daughter once more and whoever among my children dares to go to the Sun family, I’ll die for them to see!"

With those words thrown out, Wang Laozhu was left speechless. He certainly understood his wife. When pushed to the limit, especially concerning her daughter, she was one to follow through on her words.

"You! How could you be so heartless? Isn’t Yongzhen your daughter too? Her life is almost gone and you’re still causing a scene? Can’t we discuss this after we bring her back?" Wang Laozhu didn’t dare talk about the youngest daughter, so he could only speak to Old Granny Zhang.

Turning his head to look for support: "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, don’t you agree?"

Wang Yongfu stayed silent.

Wang Yonggui pretended not to hear and picked at his ears.

"Jindou, Jinhu, tell me, am I right or not?"

Jindou opened his mouth, "Granddad, I... I... my stomach hurts, I need to use the outhouse." Clutching his stomach, he made a quick exit.
