Chapter 123 How come I can be so accurate in killing my relatives?
The table was filled with the sound of people wolfing down their food. Jiang Xianghui only drank the bowl of egg custard, then put it down and looked at the others quietly.
After everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, she said softly, "Wu Youcai, I want a divorce."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, striking everyone in the Wu family.
"mother!"
"grandmother!"
Wu Kun and his wife were extremely surprised. Their mother was already old, why did she want to divorce?
Wu Zhang glanced at her husband and coaxed her mother-in-law in a low voice, "Mom, your daughter-in-law will cook dinner starting tomorrow. You are tired and need to take a rest first."
After Wu Zhang got married, she found all kinds of excuses not to cook, either because she had a headache or a stomachache. In addition, she gave birth to three sons in a row, so she was a hero to the Wu family and had more pretense than her mother-in-law.
Her mother-in-law went out to work as a maid and didn't come back for lunch, so she could only cook lunch. Dinner was often not ready until her mother-in-law came back. Her mother-in-law thought she was slow and would take over the cooking as soon as she came home.
Recently, she used the excuse of taking care of her eldest daughter-in-law's belly to not even go into the kitchen at night and wait for her mother-in-law to come back before cooking.
Wouldn't my mother-in-law be upset about this?
Jiang Xianghui glanced at her daughter-in-law who was acting cute, and continued to say to her stunned husband,
"Wu Youcai, I have been married to the Wu family for 34 years. Have I ever done anything to let you down?"
Wu Youcai shook his head repeatedly. He had just lost his little home outside, and he had to keep it together here!
If he divorces at his age, he will be laughed at by the whole town.
"No, Xianghui, you are the most capable. I am lucky to marry you."
"But I have been so unlucky."
Jiang Xianghui's voice was still very light, as if she was chatting with someone, "Tell me the truth, why did you move the wedding date forward by half a year?"
Wu Youcai's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xianghui knew about it?
"Blame me."
Wu Youcai slapped himself lightly, "I am addicted to gambling, and my parents want you to come in as soon as possible to keep me under control."
Ah!
Jiang Xianghui sneered. It’s still the same excuse!
"Didn't my parents-in-law diagnose me with a serious illness, and deliberately gave me the reputation of being a bad relative in order to make me devote myself to taking care of everything for this family?"
Jiang Xianghui could understand that her parents-in-law were only thinking about their only son, but why did they make an innocent woman like her bear the reputation of being a family unlucky person?
He even secretly left some property to Wu Youcai. No wonder he could have a mistress outside? I just don't know why there are scratches on this old face today?
"no no."
Wu Youcai looked anxious and distressed, "Xianghui, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Dad and Mom really got sick after you came into the family."
Jiang Xianghui: "..."
Don't listen to other people's nonsense? In other words, some people knew about it, but only she, a stupid woman, was kept in the dark.
"So, I really am unlucky?"
"That was not what I meant……"
Jiang Xianghui didn't listen to his explanation and continued to ask, "Why am I so accurate in bringing bad luck to my relatives? I am unlucky to everyone, but only to my parents-in-law?
Your horoscopes were matched together, and mother-in-law came to your house with the matchmaker to say that you were a match made in heaven. When you matched your horoscopes, didn’t anyone tell mother-in-law that I was unlucky for her and father-in-law?
Wu Youcai was speechless. He didn't know how his wife, who had been confused for more than 30 years, suddenly became sober?
His silence was understood not only by Jiang Xianghui but also by everyone in the Wu family.
Everyone in the Wu family looked at Wu Youcai in disbelief. How could his grandparents (great-grandparents) be so smart and calculating, but give birth to a stupid child like his father (grandfather)?
More than thirty years have passed, but I can still get things out of my mother (grandmother).
Wu Youcai glared at his children and grandchildren, then looked directly into Jiang Xianghui's eyes, "I will not divorce you unless I die."
Jiang Xianghui glanced at him, got up, went into the east room, and locked the door.
Wu Kun didn't know what to say to his father.
Ten years ago, he advised his father not to keep a mistress outside, for fear of hurting his mother's heart and no longer caring about the family.
Now, a fifty-year-old is still asking for a divorce. Where can he put his face?
Wu Hongrong looked at his father, then at his grandfather, lowered his head and dared not say a word. Could it be because he revealed his grandfather's secret today?
That’s not right either!
Didn’t grandma tell cousin Xiaoyu that she knew about grandpa?
Was it because he scolded grandma in a hurry and made her unhappy? Didn't he kowtow to apologize? Wu Kun knew his three sons better than he knew himself, "Xiao Rong, do you know something?"
Wu Hongrong shook his head like a rattle.
The brothers Wu Hongxiang and Wu Hongzhong held down their younger brother and raised their fists to threaten him.
Wu Hongrong quickly confessed, "Xiaoyu's cousin came over and asked grandma to go home, saying that the Jiang family will always be grandma's home."
Wu Hongrong only dared to say this and did not dare to say that Xiaoyu’s cousin was dressed as a grandmother.
Because he was afraid that it would be revealed that he had called his grandmother an old thing and an immature woman.
They didn't even dare to say that he had revealed the fact that his grandfather had a mistress.
Wu Kun glanced at his father. It turned out that the Jiang family didn't want his mother to suffer any grievances.
Wu Youcai looked towards the door of the east room. He was determined to gain Xianghui's forgiveness. His parents told him that Xianghui was a great blessing to the family and asked him to win Xianghui's heart.
Now that his little home outside is gone, he will put all his heart back at home.
……
Wu Youcai slept with his grandson for a night, and as soon as he woke up, he hurried to the main house.
The door of the east room was ajar. When he opened it, he didn't see Jiang Xianghui, so he hurried to the backyard to look for her.
I searched the backyard, the bathroom, and the kitchen, but couldn't find it.
"Kun'er, Kun'er."
Wu Youcai knocked on the door of the west room, "Hurry up, your mother is missing, go find her."
Wu Kun, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up and decided that he absolutely could not let his mother go back to her parents' home.
……
As soon as the day broke, Jiang Yu transformed into the proprietress of Big Foot, wrapped the small wooden box in a bed sheet and left the inn.
The shopkeeper was sleeping soundly on the counter, unaware that the only guest in the inn had checked out. But when he found out, his mouth stretched from ear to ear because he got new bedding for free.
After renting a carriage from a horse-drawn carriage, Jiang Yu leaned against the hard carriage and regretted not taking the quilt with him.
The carriage slowed down shortly after it started. Jiang Yu opened the door and asked, "Why did it slow down?"
"Reply Madam."
The driver replied respectfully, "It seems like there's a quarrel going on ahead, and there are a lot of people watching, so we can only pass slowly."
Jiang Yu closed the car door and opened the side window. She wanted to see the excitement, but unexpectedly she saw the excitement of her own family.
Wu Youcai woke up his son, and Wu Kun woke up his three sons.
The five people from three generations plus Wu Zhang, six people, all followed in the direction of Jiang's house without any prior arrangement.
After chasing for a while and not seeing anyone, Wu Youcai felt something was wrong. Based on Xianghui's stubborn temper, she would not go back to her parents' home.
Then the six people split into three groups and headed towards the other three forks in the road. Sure enough, they saw Jiang Xianghui walking hurriedly with a bag on her back on the official road leading to the city.
It was Wu Kun and his wife who caught up with Jiang Xianghui. While pulling their mother back, they persuaded her to think about them.
Jiang Xianghui's heart had long been cold, and she was completely chilled by her husband's behavior of concealing the family property, allowing her to run into obstacles everywhere, and even going back to her parents' home to support the Wu family.
Her son and daughter-in-law asked her to think about them. Hasn't she thought enough about them?
She won't reply! She won't reply even if she dies!
