“of course, she can’t be compared to the first one! You won’t dare to let her have

anything. She is not of one mind with you!”

“That’s right! Greedy!”

“Think about it, is this reasoning correct? It’s my salary and my house. You’re just

staying here, of course, I have to take care of my relatives, why would I have the

leisure to take care of your relatives?”

“That’s right! That’s the reasoning. It’s a pity that she is a woman from the rural areas,

so she is greedy and not sensible! ”

“She needs to be disciplined! ”

“She needed to be taught a lesson, then she won’t dare to do it again! ”

“Look at her now. She still obediently went into the house to cook for you. She can’t

bear to leave. Where can she go if she leaves? Surely, she can’t sleep on the street!”

“She’s so unappreciative!”

All these were said aloud, without hiding from the old lady in any way. The old lady

remained very calm. That night, all the old man’s children had dinner at home. After

they were done, the old lady cleaned up the dishes. She even poured a bucket of

water for the old man to wash his feet at night, and she personally scrubbed his feet

for him, so much so that the old man even slept with her once in a fit of anger. She

was all very calm.

The following day, all the children had returned to their respective homes, and the old

man had gone out for a stroll and light exercises. The old lady then searched all the

possible places that could hide money in the house. Sure enough, she truly found fifty

thousand dollars! she put the money in a satchel and headed straight to her

grandson’s school. That was four years with meals and accommodation included. Her

grandson could then safely finish his nine years of mandatory education.

When she came out of her grandson’s school, the old lady still stuck around outside

the school as she could not bear to leave. “Baby, I’m sorry. I have given you

everything I could give you. stay in school these four years and don’t create any

trouble. After four years, your father should also be released. This way, you will have

a father. My child, you have to be sensible and study well. When your dad is released,

have him work and earn money to pay for your high school tuition. You have to go to

college. Don’t be a butcher like your father. So uncultured and impulsive. Baby, I have

to part with you forever now. You have to stay well.”

The old lady cried inconsolably outside of her grandson’s school until she had no

tears left to cry anymore in the end. she washed her face by the river, then she

returned home.

When she got home, the old man did not even notice that she had cried. He just

looked at her with disgust. “I have not disciplined you and you’re so audacious now?

Where have you been today? You didn’t even make lunch! I had to order delivery! The

delivery food is so disgusting and so high in fats! You know that I have high blood

pressure! I can’t have oily and salty foods! Yet, you didn’t come back to cook! Where

on earth did you go? You have not been home all day! You haven’t even done the

laundry!”

As the old man was speaking, he raised his hand to hit her. He had been having the

temptation to hit her recently. He just wanted to hit her at every turn. After he had hit

her, he would feel satisfied. It felt as if he had returned to the time when he became a

leader before he retired.

However, before his hand landed on her, he heard the old lady say calmly and flatly, “

Neo Dixon. I have thought it through. Let’s get divorced.”

Neo’s hand stopped in mid-air. He thought he had heard it wrong. “D*mned old thing,

what...what did you say?”

The old lady’s gaze was unwaveringly calm. “Let’s get divorced. I will pack up and

leave today. We’ll go to city hall and get our divorce certificate tomorrow. I will never

enter this house of yours again. I will leave this marriage without taking any

possessions with me.” Neo was speechless.
