Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Settling Accounts with Wu inan
Third Uncle Zhou’s mouth twitched, but in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to voice his thoughts. Supporting his daughter into the house, he said, “This matter won’t be left as it is, Daddy will get revenge for you.
Just stay at ho and don’t upset your grandparents. I’ll go find Wu inan and drive that bunch out.”
Zhou Ru nodded her head. Hearing her mother’s na, her face twisted with disgust. The mory of running away and the subsequent humiliation flashed through her mind. She clenched her fists tightly until her fingertips pierced the flesh, leaving her hands bleeding before she slumped, defeated, onto the edge of the bed.
Third Uncle Zhou stord out of the house and went straight back to his previous ho.
By this ti, the entire Wu family was at ho. Seeing Third Uncle Zhou, Mrs. Wu was taken aback, her expression turning slightly unnatural.
But Wu inan, upon seeing Third Uncle Zhou, was brazen, “What are you doing here, you heartless wretch? Have you got the nerve to co to my place?
This house is mine now. I’ll have whoever I want to stay.”
She held her head high with pride, and Mrs. Wu, who had been sowhat worried, suddenly felt emboldened, “Right, now that you’re divorced, the house was promised to my daughter, so it belongs to my daughter.
As her mother, my daughter wants to take care of , so she brought here. I’d like to see who dares to try to send away.”
Wu Xiaodi was even more defiant as he glared at Third Uncle Zhou, ready to start a fight, “You’re just like Chen Shii. My sister spent half her life with you, and now your parents are back.
Your Zhou family is living well now, and you’ve started to despise my sister. Pfft, you call yourself a soldier, but your character is terrible.
I bet a man like you will get what’s coming to him, and maybe you won’t even survive the battlefield one of these days.”
Furious, Third Uncle Zhou struck him with a punch. He had refrained in the past, for his wife’s sake, but now that they were divorced, he didn’t care anymore.
Caught off guard by the punch, Wu Xiaodi’s face turned red with anger, and with a shriek, he swung his fist at Third Uncle Zhou.
Third Uncle Zhou caught Wu Xiaodi’s fist with his hand, gripping it tightly, and with a little force, there was a cracking sound.
Wu Xiaodi wailed in pain, “Ahhh! It hurts, hurts, let go of , you bastard, let go right now.
Sister, do sothing about him, my arm is broken.”
Mrs. Wu, hearing her son’s agonized screams, was imdiately distressed and ran towards Third Uncle Zhou with a broom, swinging it at him. Third Uncle Zhou caught the broom with his palm and, with a slight exertion of force, snapped it in two.
Mrs. Wu jumped in fright and began to howl, “Help, help us! A soldier is committing assault, everyone co see!
This man is Chen Shii. When his family was in trouble and sent away, my daughter stayed by his side the whole ti.
Now that his family is back and their life is better, he’s divorced my daughter.”
Mrs. Wu’s loud cries attracted quite a crowd.
But the public eye is discerning, especially since everyone here knew Wu inan very well; they snorted at Mrs. Wu’s words, not believing them one bit.
Instead, they mocked Mrs. Wu, “You old lady really have the nerve, attempting to twist the situation your way.
With your daughter’s temper, who here doesn’t know? Overbearing, rude, and unreasonable.
It’s to General Zhou’s credit he didn’t mind and stayed with your daughter for so long.
If you ask , the real Chen Shii is your daughter.
Spending his money all day and throwing tantrums, blaming his family’s situation for her problems.”
“That’s right, we’ve lived here for so many years; we know Zhou Ru well.
She was so good to her, yet you, as her mother, really have no sha, always coming over to scrounge.”
I heard that your daughter even went to General Zhou asking for money, claiming that his monthly salary wasn’t enough for her to spend.
Everyone knows that General Zhou now holds a significant rank, his monthly salary is over a hundred.
I see that their family doesn’t eat at with every al, so how co this money isn’t enough?
Who knows what your daughter is spending that money on.”
“Really, I’ve never seen soone so shaless before.”
“It’s quite sothing, isn’t it? After the divorce, they let you have the house, and your whole family moved in, truly shaless.”
The people around the Wu family were buzzing with gossip, and Mrs. Wu’s face turned so red with embarrassnt that she wished she could just disappear into a crack in the ground.
“Shut up, my daughter has spent half her life bearing and raising children for the Zhou Family, working herself to the bone. What’s wrong with spending a little money?
Since the house was divided to us, why did he co over to our house causing trouble? He’s clearly the one in the wrong here,” Mrs. Wu said, fuming.
Third Uncle Zhou suddenly beca furious, glaring at Wu inan: “Why did you drive Zhou Ru out that day?
If you didn’t want to take care of her, you could have given Ru Ru to . Do you realize you’ve ruined her life?”
Wu inan was terrified: “Ru Ru is dead?”
Mrs. Wu was scared half to death, fearful that she would be blad for the incident, and quickly said: “Her death has nothing to do with us.
It’s her own fault for not behaving sensibly and running off. She’s an adult; how could doing a little work be a problem? Such a drama queen.”
Wu inan was indeed dazed. Although he listened to his mother, that was still his daughter.
“How could this be, Ru Ru can’t be in trouble. You’re lying to , aren’t you?” Third Uncle Zhou demanded, looking at her.
“Ru Ru isn’t dead, but you’ve hurt her just as badly.
If you still care that she is your daughter, then you’ll kick your mother and her family out.
If you think Ru Ru isn’t as important to you as your mother and refuse to drive them out, then I’ll do it myself.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu sat on the ground and played the victim, slapping her thighs and shouting: “Oh my, which son-in-law would instigate his own daughter to drive out her mother?
Such a disrespectful son. Even strangers don’t do such things.”
Mrs. Wu was wailing miserably.
So of the older people around could relate to these issues deeply, and they felt uncomfortable at the thought of being driven out by a son-in-law or daughter-in-law when they got old.
They said to Third Uncle Zhou: “Xiao Zhou ah, since you’ve divorced your wife and the house has been given to her,
it’s up to her to decide who lives there. Why are you interfering so much?
If your ex-wife respects her mother, that ans she is a good kid. You can’t stop soone from being dutiful to their mother.”
Third Uncle Zhou responded with a scowl, saying nothing, while Wu inan looked hesitant, as she also found it difficult to consider evicting her mother.
But thinking of her daughter, if what the man said was true, she felt uneasy.
Looking at Third Uncle Zhou anxiously she said, “Can you at least let see what exactly happened to Ru Ru?”
Third Uncle Zhou shook his head. His daughter absolutely despised Wu inan now, and if he brought her over, they would probably end up fighting.
He didn’t want to see his daughter and her own mother co to blows.
