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

Chapter 257 You've already been touched by me, you have no choice but to marry me.
Hearing Bai Lu say this, Feng Yuzhu's heart raced with excitement. After calming down, she said, "Then thank you very much, Master Bai."

Chen Ertong grasped Bai Yuanwai's hand ingratiatingly and said, "In-law, from now on we are in-laws."

Suddenly, Master Bai yelled and shoved Chen Ertong away as if he had seen a ghost, raising his hand and shaking it violently.

Upon seeing this, several servants quickly brought over a large basin of water, and a group of maids helped him wash for quite a while.

Finally, he wiped his hands, his face still contorted with anger.

Snapped--

The servant boy from the Bai family slapped Chen Ertong so hard that he became dizzy and almost fell over.

"Who do you think you are, daring to touch my master? I think you're tired of living."

Several servants took turns slapping Chen Ertong, while Feng Yuzhu pulled Chen Huaidi aside.

After being slapped dozens of times, Chen Ertong's face was swollen like a pig's head, and blood mixed with saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.

The servants rubbed their hands together and silently retreated to the back.

The onlookers were so frightened they dared not breathe, and no one dared to step forward to help.

Feng Yuzhu stepped forward and said, "Master Bai, his father is ignorant, please don't take it to heart. I'm entrusting my daughter Huaidi to your care from now on."

As she spoke, she pushed Chen Huaidi into Bai Yuanwai's arms. Bai Yuanwai's face hardened and he said, "Damn it, here we go again!"

Before he could react, Chen Huaidi had already hugged his leg.

“Master Bai, please take me in. I’m willing to do anything, like be your slave, just don’t send me away.”

The little boy tried to flirt with the girls in the brothel, but his small eyes didn't reveal any flirtatiousness, making him look quite strange.

Master Bai felt that this family had a problem, a really big problem.

This time, he didn't have to lift a finger; several maids grabbed Chen Huaidi by the hair and pushed her to the ground.

One of the maids, dressed in purple, put her hands on her hips and angrily rebuked, "What are you? Who gives you the right to speak here?"

What a joke! Which maid in the Bai family wouldn't want to become Master Bai's concubine?

But the old lady and Miss Bai kept a close eye on things, and any signs of trouble were dealt with.

Only some undried rice was left, along with the concubines the master brought back each time he went out.

Even so, the master still had quite a few women in his harem.

Now another competitor has emerged; no one would want that.

The maid in purple looked down at Chen Huaidi and almost burst out laughing.

How dare someone so ugly become a concubine? Please, even concubines need to be beautiful and cunning!

Master Bai went to the carriage with a dark face, changed his clothes, and then got off.

Bai Lu asked, puzzled, "Dad, you weren't this clean when you were at Aunt Li's house."

Master Bai wiped his hands and said, "How can that be the same? The county magistrate was there too. I had to put up with it even if I wasn't used to it."

Besides, the Li family is very sensible, unlike this family.

He paused, then asked quietly, "Lu'er, do you really want me to take this ugly maid as my concubine?"

Bai Lu shook her head. "No, I just said it offhand."

Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to bring Chen Huaidi and Chen Jingang into the Bai family at the same time, to teach them a lesson in the future, to avenge Aunt Li's family, and to vent her own anger.

But now that her father is so resistant to Chen Huaidi, she no longer insists.

"Chen Jingang, are you still going to sign?" Bai Lu asked.

Upon hearing his name called, Chen Jingang rushed forward, shoved his second uncle and aunt aside, and kicked Chen Huaidi away.

He said respectfully, "Draw it, draw it now."

"Aren't you going to take a good look at this contract?" Bai Lu reminded her. "Once you sign it, you can't go back on your word. Everything must be done according to the contract."

"I know, I won't go back on my word." Chen Jingang knew that the so-called signing and fingerprinting were just a formality.

It appears that he was selling himself into the Bai family, but in reality, it was a scheme devised by Master Bai to discuss marriage with him.

Everything we're doing now is for the benefit of the people of Chenjia Village.

This way, both sides can save face.

Otherwise, it would be a bad reputation for him, a grown man, to become the Bai family's live-in son-in-law.

It's not shameful for a man to become a live-in son-in-law or a concubine. In comparison, selling oneself into servitude sounds much better.

A son-in-law who moves into his wife's family makes him seem like a greedy and petty person, while selling oneself into servitude is just a form of employment, making money without feeling ashamed.

Despite the objections of his family, Chen Jingang insisted on signing the document.

He waved to Wang Shuixia and Chen Dagang and said, "Father and Mother, just wait for your son to bring glory to the family and come back to take you away to enjoy your old age."

Bai Lu can't just sit around doing nothing after marrying him; she naturally has to take good care of his parents.

A servant of the Bai family, holding the contract, asked, "Chen Jingang, you voluntarily sold yourself into the Bai family, right?"

"Yes, yes, I'd love to."

He grinned shamelessly; the Bai family really knew how to act, asking question after question.

What's the use of showing off now? When we get back, I'll still have to marry the fair-skinned Bai Lu to him.

"Father, let's go home then." Bai Lu took Bai Yuanwai's hand, and the two chatted and laughed as they entered the sedan chair.

Chen Jingang thought he would also be able to ride in a sedan chair, but he was scolded by several servants: "Hurry up and go, you've already sold yourself, what are you still reluctant to leave for?"

They were forced into prostitution by their families, unlike Chen Jingang, whose parents and grandparents all seemed to love him.

I don't know why he's so stubborn and insists on selling himself.

They couldn't figure things out, so they just dragged Chen Jingang along to keep up with the main group.

Chen Huaidi cried as she chased after the carriage, and Feng Yuzhu couldn't stop her, so she could only let her go.

Chen Huaidi, though small, ran incredibly fast.

Just as she was about to catch up, Chen Jingang, who was following behind the group, suddenly tripped her.

"Get out, get back, or my slap won't be able to see you again."

He's the main character today, but Chen Huaidi keeps causing trouble and trying to ruin his plans. No way!

Chen Bingxiao stood at the village entrance, slapping his thigh and sighing, "I'm afraid Jin Gang will never be able to come back."

Zhao cried with tears streaming down her face. Wang Shuixia and Chen Dagang chased after her for a long distance, even losing their shoes in the process, before being beaten back by the Bai family.

Wang Shuixia cried loudly and rolled around on the ground.

At this moment, Chen Jintong, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Father, Mother, Grandfather, Grandmother, don't be sad. My brother didn't sell himself to the Bai family; rather, the Bai family wanted to take my brother as their son-in-law."

He then recounted how Chen Jingang had almost kidnapped Bai Lu as his wife during the torrential rain.

"Think about it, my brother touched Miss Bai's shoulder and arm, so she's practically my brother's woman now."

Wang Shuixia wiped away her tears and excitedly grabbed her youngest son, asking, "Really? Is this true?"

Chen Dagang suddenly realized and said, "I understand now. Master Bai did that just now to give the second son a warning."

After all, his son had touched someone else's daughter; what father wouldn't be angry, especially since that person was Master Bai?

"So, Jin Gang is going to become Master Bai's son-in-law? We're going to get rich!" Chen Bingxiao's eyes widened in surprise.

For so many years, he had always thought that the most successful member of the family would be his eldest grandson, Chen Jinbang.

I never expected these two lads to be doing something big behind the scenes.

Well, that's good. Jinbang will rise through the ranks of officialdom, and Jin Gang will get a rich young lady. Both of these boys are promising.

Back at the Bai residence, Chen Jingang stepped forward and looked at Bai Lu with a smile, saying, "Miss Bai, oh no, Lu'er, when are we getting married?"

In my opinion, there's no time like the present; let's do it tonight.

He gazed greedily at the Bai family's magnificent courtyard, his eyes darting around too much to take it all in.

That's great, this house will be his from now on.

Oh, by the way, I heard that Bailu has a few younger brothers.

However, they are still young and not a threat; we can just find some excuse to kill them later.

Chen Jingang rubbed his hands together. It's so nice living in a wealthy family; you don't even have to lift a finger to do bad things.

Suddenly remembering something, he said coldly, "Let's make this clear first, my family can't afford the betrothal gifts."

Since I've already touched you, you have no choice but to marry me.

"A woman like you, if you don't marry me, can expect to be lonely for the rest of your life and be talked about behind your back."
