Chapter 205: Chapter 152 Conditional Separation_1

"Who you calling a whore with that foul mouth of yours?" Lady Wang said as she made to hit someone again, but Wu held her back. Since they were having a discussion of reason for now, there was no need for violence.

Old man Qian then spoke, "Landlord Li, Elder Wong, all the neighbors and folks around, you all heard that, right? She insults her daughter-in-law with such nasty words, seizes her dowry, and still has the audacity to be so aggressive. You won’t find another vile woman like her in the entire region."

People at the door who were enjoying the commotion started talking again, "Old Lady Yang has always had a foul mouth."

"It’s not just her mouth that’s foul, but also her black heart and thieving hands."

"They say even a rabbit won’t eat the grass by its burrow, but she steals from her neighbors. We don’t dare let her into our houses anymore, every time she comes something goes missing."

...

Wong Liang said to Yang Laokou, "A good wife brings her husband little trouble. Big Uncle, your family affairs are worrisome indeed."

Yang Laokou hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I’ll deal with that woman later, let’s go inside and talk this over slowly."

Old man Qian waved his hand and said, "There’s nothing left to say to folks like you, just let them separate. We’ll take Auntie Die and her dowry and leave..."

Yang Laokou and Old Lady Yang didn’t expect the Old Qian Family to dare bring up separation first, and were utterly shocked. Almost all families were hesitant to allow their married daughters to separate, as it was shameful and could bring trouble when marrying off other daughters. That’s why they had been so brazen.

Hearing the Qian family propose a separation, Old Lady Yang refused, shouting loudly, "Separate? You wish! You can leave all right, but only by divorce. The Yang family does not want a wicked daughter-in-law like her."

Whether it was separation or divorce, Yang Laokou did not want either.

He glared and cursed, "Stupid woman, if you raise a ruckus again, I’ll divorce you first." He then had Yang Youcai and Yang Youzhi take her to the side room to prevent her from making a spectacle of herself.

Landlord Li had come to oversee the division of property, and was surprised to see the Old Qian Family directly proposing separation. However, with such a deplorable in-law family, he also wouldn’t want it to continue.

Old man Qian and his son, along with Wang Lizheng and others, went inside to negotiate with Yang Laokou, with Landlord Li and Wong Liang mediating, as the rest of the people sat in the courtyard awaiting the outcome.

Qian Mandie wept in Lady Wang’s arms.

Yang Youfu came over, wiping his tears and looking pitiful as he said, "Wife, don’t leave, stay and let’s live a good life together. I won’t let mother and sister treat you this way again, I promise. Stay, please?"

"Husband." Qian Mandie lifted her head, her heart softened again by Yang Youfu’s words. He was very kind to her, massaging her every night and always apologizing with tears in his eyes on behalf of his mother and sister. He urged Mandie to bear with it a little longer, that in a few years once the family split up, they could live on their own comfortably.

Lady Wang fiercely spat at Yang Youfu and scolded, "It’s no use saying all this now, where have you been earlier? If you had stood up just a little, Auntie Die wouldn’t have been so bullied by your mother and sister." She then said to Qian Mandie, "Silly girl, you can’t be soft-hearted anymore. Our families have already caused such a scene, and you even hit that old pious woman. If you stay in this family, sooner or later they will take your life. Come back home with us for the separation; even if you never marry again, at least you’ll be alive. Other families might not care about their daughter’s well-being, but in our Qian family, our girls are cherished, raised in the palm of our hands. We can’t just watch you wait for death."

Lady Wang was overcome with sorrow, her tears flowing even more. Both her daughters were beautiful, diligent, and gentle. When it was time for them to marry, suitors practically broke down their door, but both daughters ended up with poor marriages. The older one couldn’t bear a son, which displeased her mother-in-law, although she didn’t plot after her dowry nor hit her. However, the younger one’s in-law family was far worse, using every means to get the dowry, wanting to take it all, and tormenting the daughter-in-law whenever something didn’t go their way.

She finally realized that she couldn’t let her pride and reputation risk her daughter’s life. She also saw that her family was no longer the ordinary rural household of before; they had enough support now to stand up for themselves. Her son was generous and would surely provide for Auntie Die for the rest of her life. In the future, she would secretly leave some money for her, ensuring that life wouldn’t be too difficult. As for Duo Duo, still so young, by the time she grew up, Mandie’s issues would have been long in the past and wouldn’t be brought up by others.

Hearing Lady Wang’s words, Yang Youfu stood to the side, weeping. Seeing such a spineless man made Lady Wang’s head throb with anger.

Noon came, and the people inside negotiating had not yet come out.
