Chapter 529: Divorce
Old man Yu’s face changed as he cursed Yu Dong inside his head. ” Do you really have to be so ruthless? So what if your aunt went to study in your place, did she not take good care of you? If not for you being too much and breaking your aunt’s heart, she would have continued to take care of you and your family but you just had to make things difficult for us. What else could we have done? And aren’t you living a good life now? What’s wrong with giving a mouthful to your grandmother?”Yu Tong was so furious that she wanted to fight with Old man Yu, when her grandma’s body was fine, her grandfather would always nag her that there wasn’t enough money in the house and instigate her to go and ask for money from Yu Dong when her grandma refused, her grandfather went ahead and started calling her useless, saying that she couldn’t even earn enough money to keep her family happy.
In the end, her grandmother worked harder and harder to make sure that there was always a stable income for their family but now that her grandma has gotten sick with all the overwork that she has been doing, her grandfather refusing to take responsibility. For whose sake did her grandmother work so hard until her health deteriorated wasn’t it because of them? How can they say such cruel things with so much ease?
Now that she was seeing the ruthlessness of her grandfather, Yu Tong couldn’t help but think about the incident that just took place earlier in the morning her hostility started to spread all over her body but before she could explode, her hand was caught by someone.
She turned to look at who the person was when her eyes were caught by her grandma who has turned up at some point when they were busy scolding the Yu family, she was looking at her with a comforting and worried gaze, and she patted her on the shoulder and said, ” Calm down.”
Then she turned to look at Old man Yu who has suddenly gone silent before turning to look at the village head as she said, ” Village head Gu, please help me..divorce this mer.” After eating the porridge that Yu Dong has fed her, she recovered some of her energy, originally she didn’t want to come down from the tree house but then he heard Ye Liu talking with Fang Chi, Chen Mi and Shen Li.
She heard him say that the Yu family was making trouble for Yu Dong and wasn’t listening to a thing that Yu Dong was saying to them, at first she was disappointed but she still had some hope left for her husband as soon as she came to stop a few feet away from the spot where the commotion was taking place with the help of Aunt Wang, her heart was completely broken after she heard her husband say those heartless words one after another.
So, in his eyes her life wasn’t even worth Yu Cheng’s academy fees, so be it.
As soon as the villagers saw Grandma Yu, they couldn’t help but gasp in surprise. They could tell that Grandma Yu was wearing Yu Dong’s clothes and the once hail and hearty Grandma Yu who was the most wanted woman of the village now looked like a child who was wearing the clothes of an adult. Her back was slouching and her entire complexion was paler than a corpse, they only saw her a few days ago … and she was still fine, just what the hell Old Man Yu did to her to this emancipated?
Her entire appearance was haggard and even her eyes seemed to have sunken.
The mers who have seen Grandma Yu in her youth could not help but let out a regretful sigh, this woman when she was young, she could even hunt a boar and elk with her bare hands. She was so strong that she alone was enough to raise such a big family and yet——sigh, this old man Yu was really malicious. When grandma Yu’s official husbands were alive they took care of her so much better than him and it has only been a few years since they left yet old man Yu maltreated Grandma Yu to this point?
Why didn’t he just run a dagger through her heart and saved her from all the pain?
No wonder Grandma Yu wanted to divorce this mer.
But Old man Yu was someone who refused to be defeated, he saw that the villagers were looking at him like he has stolen their kids, he hurriedly shouted, ” Wife do you…do you really have to be this cruel? Aren’t I doing this for our family, if Cheng Cheng becomes an official then we might be able to live a comfortable life, don’t you think so ?”
” Old man Tang,” Grandma Yu closed her eyes and breathed in a ragged breath as she opened her sunken eyes and then looked at her husband with a mocking smile. ” I am afraid that if I was to leave my life in your hands till Cheng Cheng becomes an official, I might be killed off in your hands. I would rather live a peaceful life and have a mouthful of food properly before I die, being by your side, I am afraid that something like this simple will be impossible.”
Grandma Yu might be getting old and her body was indeed degrading but her brain was still working fine. Now that she has seen her husband’s true face, she knew that there was no point in maintaining this farce of a marriage, even if she didn’t die from the cold water of the flood, she might end up dying after being starved and pushed to overwork every day, she might as well draw a fine line between the two of them while she can or who knows, what this man might do to her.
For the sake of a few taels, he was willing to throw her life in the fire pit, then she might as well work hard to make sure he regrets it!
