Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 105 Why are you mentioning that bitch?
None of the Chen family members expected that Zhang Junniang would bring up Li Ruru on her own initiative.

As Chen Sanbao's current girlfriend, the way he spoke about his ex, subtly favoring her, made the Chen family very unhappy.

Chen Sanbao was the first to object, "Why are you bringing up that bitch?"

It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.

Chen Jinbang said with slight anger, "When did she help me? It was always my third uncle who helped me."

His casual remark completely erased all the hard work Li Ruru had put in over the years.

They even attributed the credit to Chen Sanbao.

Chen Sanbao smiled and patted Chen Jinbang's head, "My eldest nephew is so filial, he always remembers my kindness."

Chen Jinbang looked down on Chen Sanbao; his clothes were dirty and tattered, and his hands were extremely rough.

He didn't want him to touch him, but for the sake of his tuition, he had no choice but to endure it.

Chen Jinbang not only looked down on Chen Sanbao, but he looked down on everyone in the Chen family equally.

Grandpa was a coward; he did nothing but smoke his pipe.

He was also selfish; everyone had to give him the best food and drinks at home.

Grandma is clueless; she throws tantrums and acts out whenever something happens.

It is said that a family can prosper if it has a visionary and capable elder.

Grandma and Grandpa were clearly not like that; they were failures, not even as good as Third Grandpa's family.

His parents aren't very capable; all they know is how to have a bunch of sons. In the future, these people will still need his help.

Apart from the eldest son's wife, everyone else in the Chen family felt they were doing their best to help Chen Jinbang, but Chen Jinbang resented his family for not providing good conditions and instead expecting him to study hard and pass the imperial examinations to repay them.

They both felt they had been taken advantage of.

Zhang Junniang felt that she was the one who suffered the most. She also had two sons, so why should she rely on her nephew and give him money to spend? She wasn't out of her mind.

She scoffed, "See? I told you so. Jinbang is not one to repay kindness."

If he can forget Li Ruru's help now, he will naturally not remember her kindness in the future.

She's not Li Ruru; she wouldn't be foolish enough to give away someone else's son for free.

Wang Shuixia was the first to object to anyone talking about her son. She said, "Don't spew nonsense. My son is not that kind of person. It is clearly that Li woman who is unworthy."

Chen Jinbang nodded in agreement, "That's right. Last time I went to her place to eat konjac tofu, she even tried to charge me."

If Li Ruru really wanted him to remember her kindness, she shouldn't have accepted his money.

She should have given him the money she earned; that way, he would remember her kindness once he became successful.

"What? You're still giving her money? She's shameless!" Zhao scolded angrily. "Giving her face is simply outrageous."

How could Li Ruru be so tactless and lack social skills?

She's supposed to be doing business? Pshaw, you can tell her business won't last long.

The Chen family are all the same. When they are in the right, they push people to the brink, but when they are not in the right, they start playing the emotional card.

When emotional appeals fail, they start to yell and curse, turning the tables on others.

After scolding Li Ruru, Zhao turned her gun on Zhang Junniang again.

"Third brother's wife, take out those two taels of silver, I won't take any more."

She'll take two taels this time, and she'll ask for the remaining eight taels another time.

In any case, the bride price given by the Chen family would never be kept by their daughter-in-law.

The betrothal gifts that Li Ruru, Wang Shuixia, and Feng Yuzhu received were all coaxed away by Zhao through various means.

Zhao thought she would succeed this time, but she didn't expect to run into a tough opponent. Zhang Junniang put her hands on her hips and said, "I have no money, but I'll take your life. If all else fails, your Chen family can just divorce me."

She almost regretted marrying Chen Sanbao. She thought that since his family had 100 taels of silver, she could live a life of luxury after marrying into the family.

She was able to hold onto 100 taels of silver, but who would have thought that before she even got married, they would squander almost all of it.

These shameless people are actually trying to ask her for money; it's utterly shameless.

Zhang Junniang has both a great figure and a beautiful face; she'll only be better off without the Chen family.

The men who wanted to marry her could line up from Chenjia Village to Baihua Village; there were plenty of men for her to choose from.

Without 100 taels of silver, Chen Sanbao was nothing in her eyes.

Zhang Junniang was confident and arrogant, looking down on everyone in the Chen family.

Despite her many flaws, Chen Sanbao was still very fond of her, and upon hearing that his wife, who warmed his bed, wanted him to divorce her...

Chen Sanbao quickly comforted her, "Junniang, what nonsense are you talking about? I would never divorce you, even if you killed me. I still want to have a bunch of boys with you."

Zhang Junniang glanced at him sideways, "But your mother can't tolerate me, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Zhang Junniang successfully instigated a civil war between mother and son. Chen Sanbao angrily rebuked Zhao Shi: "Are you bored out of your mind all day? If you keep doing this, we'll separate and live separately."

Chen Sanbao felt incredibly powerful, having successfully protected his wife.

Zhao's eyes widened. The son who used to listen to her and turn to her for help in everything had changed.

Now he not only ignores her, but also follows that vixen Zhang Junniang around all day, wagging his tail and begging for mercy like a lapdog.

The daughter-in-law completely controlled her son.

Zhao suppressed her shock and hurriedly said, "Why are you dividing the family property?"

After the family split up, she could no longer get any money from Zhang Junniang, nor could she exert her authority as a mother-in-law over her daughter-in-law.

If the third child splits up the family property, then the second child will definitely have to split up as well.

Although Zhao was an old woman, she still enjoyed the rights of being a mother-in-law and mother, and she absolutely refused to let her sons divide the family property.

Seeing that she couldn't get a single hair out of the third brother and his family, she immediately turned her attention to Feng Yuzhu.

"Second brother's family, you should contribute some of your own money. You can't bear to see someone fail the imperial examination and be unable to continue their studies, can you?"

Before Feng Yuzhu could speak, Chen Ertong preemptively refused, saying, "Mother, where would we get any money? I've given you all the money I've earned."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuzhu's anger flared up. Her husband had earned 30 coins carrying heavy loads that day, but Zhao had taken the money before she even saw it.

Zhao didn't ask Chen Ertong or Feng Yuzhu for money; instead, she went directly to the place where he carried heavy loads and asked the manager for it.

Zhao's original words were: "I am Chen Ertong's mother. My family is almost starving. Can the manager pay his wages in advance?"

She got the money, but Chen Ertong was kicked out by the manager because of it.

The work was supposed to last a week, and payment would only be made after it was finished, so the supervisor was naturally unwilling to pay in advance.

If everyone were like Chen Ertong, how could he possibly run a business?

Chen Ertong lost his job, worked a day, but the money ended up in Zhao's pocket.

Feng Yuzhu was furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "My elder brother and sister-in-law are not dead, are they? Why are they always targeting us for money? Mother, you are too biased!"

Why should they be allowed to support Chen Jinbang like slaves?

Regardless of whether he passes the exam or not, even if he does, what does it have to do with their second wife? In the end, who will be as glamorous as the eldest brother and sister-in-law?

In her opinion, Chen Jinbang was simply not cut out for studying, and sending him to school was a complete waste of money.

Before, with Li Ruru, that easy target, around, she couldn't say anything. But now that her mother has set her sights on her, she's extremely unhappy.
