Chapter 193 The Old Father's Rage
When Chen Xueru heard this, she hugged the child tightly, straightened her back and responded, "Well, okay, when I get home, I'm going to find my parents-in-law and explain everything to them face to face, and see what their good son has done!"
After the two men left, Old Man Mu looked at his daughter Mu Chunhua and felt very uncomfortable. Since things had already happened, they couldn't just swallow this loss.
For the sake of his future livelihood, he suggested to Mu Chunhua: "My daughter! Since Chunsheng has done such a thing, we must make him compensate you well."
"You have a child now, so you can't be without income. It's better to earn a penny a day than to have a huge fortune at home."
After hearing what Old Man Mu said, Mu Chunhua replied in a somewhat listless tone, "Dad, don't worry! Although Chunsheng is a bit of a jerk, he has already made preparations. He not only gave me a three-story house, but also gave me a lot of money, which is enough for us to live on."
"Don't worry, we don't need to remind you. Brother Chunsheng will bring the money back every month. From what I know about him, he is not such an irresponsible person."
After hearing what Mu Chunhua said, Old Man Mu felt relieved. The thing he was most worried about had been solved, and he felt relieved. He said, "It's best this way. This kid still has some conscience, so you won't be blamed for your fight with him."
Mu Chunhua then said to Old Man Mu, "Dad, let me tell you in advance! I don't plan to divorce. No matter what he does outside, as long as he treats me well, that's all that's fine."
Old Man Mu thought about it, shook his head helplessly, sighed and said: "To be honest, Chunsheng is really good to you. I have never seen a man who loves his wife so much. He treats you like his sweetheart."
"If I leave him, I may not be able to find another wife who loves me more than he does."
"But this bastard should never, ever, hide this from you."
Although Old Man Mu complained for a while, he also understood that this was his daughter's own choice.
So he said, "Well, I'll listen to you. As long as you're happy, I'll do whatever you want."
Hou Jie and Chen Xueru walked out of the courtyard together. He hailed a rickshaw on the street, gently helped Chen Xueru sit down, and was about to hail another one.
However, Chen Xueru's words "Just follow me" instantly dispelled his idea of continuing to take a taxi.
Hou Jie smiled helplessly, then trotted closely behind the rickshaw, fearing that he would be neglected in the slightest.
The rickshaw driver was a talkative man. He looked at Hou Jie's expression and, as a person who had experienced it, he understood what was going on. He couldn't help but joked, "Young man, did you make your wife angry?"
After hearing this, Hou Jie laughed awkwardly twice, nodded and said, "Master, you are right."
The rickshaw driver continued to joke, not without envy: "You deserve it! Boy, learn your lesson! You are willing to make such a beautiful wife angry, but I would not be willing to do that if it were me."
The two returned to the door of their home, and Chen Xueru gently raised her foot, preparing to step into the yard.
Although she was a little angry and dissatisfied, her steps were steady.
After walking a few steps, Chen Xueru noticed that Hou Jie did not keep up with her pace, but stood in circles, looking hesitant and uneasy.
She couldn't help but sneer, her heart full of joking, and said sarcastically: "What were you doing earlier? Why are you so cowardly now?"
However, despite the sarcasm in his words, Hou Jie had nothing to say about it. He was the one who did it and he was in the wrong.
Hou Jie took a deep breath and encouraged himself secretly: "Hey! Let's die!"
As soon as the two walked into the house, the mother saw them and immediately took the child from Chen Xueru's arms anxiously.
The child was still very young, with rosy cheeks, and looked around this familiar yet unfamiliar home with ignorance.
The mother looked at the child with eyes full of love and concern, and complained to Chen Xueru: "Xueru, you too, why did you take the child out? The child is still so young."
However, Chen Xueru did not respond. She did not stop, but walked straight to her mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, where is my father-in-law?"
The mother replied: "He is at school! What's wrong?"
"Yes, there are some things." Chen Xueru pointed at Hou Jie with a sharp look. At this moment, she didn't even want to call out Hou Jie's name. She ordered in an extremely arrogant and unquestionable tone: "You, go and find my father-in-law immediately! I don't need to say anything more, right?"
Under Chen Xueru's sharp gaze and the unquestionable order, Hou Jie did not dare to hesitate or refute. He immediately turned around and ran out, responding as he ran: "Okay, I'll go now and be back soon!"
The mother was a little confused when she saw her son's abnormal behavior.
It's strange, why is my son so well-behaved today? If it were normal, I would never let him do anything without a few minutes of hesitation.
"Did you make Xue Ru angry again? You are such a fool."
On the way to pick up his father, Hou Jie seemed extremely nervous. He kept persuading his father: "Father, you must show mercy later!"
The father was confused by Hou Jie's unusual behavior and wondered curiously, "What's wrong? Why are you so strange today? Did you make Xueru angry again?"
However, Hou Jie did not directly answer his father's question, but quickly changed the subject. Hou Jie took a deep breath and hesitantly said, "Father, don't ask me anymore. You will know in a while. Just be gentle and don't beat me to death! I am your only son."
Hearing Hou Jie's words, his father had a bad feeling in his heart. He knew Hou Jie's personality very well and realized that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed.
Although he was nervous, his father nodded and agreed to Hou Jie's request: "Okay! As long as it's not too extreme, I will hold back."
"Chunsheng! You are married and have children, why are you still so unstable?"
Hou Jie smiled bitterly in his heart.
"It's over. This time the punishment will not be light. If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it yourself."
When he returned home, Hou Jie's behavior surprised his parents and Chen Xueru.
Before the three of them could react, he quickly knelt in front of them, admitted his mistake with a very good attitude.
Seeing Hou Jie kneeling in front of them, the bad premonition in the parents' hearts became stronger.
They don't understand why their children would behave like this. They feel more and more uneasy, as if something bad is about to happen.
There is no way the two of them could think about it carefully.
Chen Xueru was filled with anger and displeasure as she told her mother what had happened in detail. Her words were filled with indignation and pain.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I want to divorce him."
After saying this, Chen Xueru turned her head and shed tears silently.
Upon hearing the decision, the mother panicked instantly. If she hadn't been holding her young grandson in her arms, she might have fainted from excessive shock and anxiety.
My father stood up suddenly, furious, and found the feather duster he always used. His face was livid, and his eyes were flashing with anger. He stared at Hou Jie fiercely and said word by word: "Take off your shirt!"
Hou Jie does not regret his actions. If you do something wrong, you have to admit it.
Although he was a bit of a scumbag and hurt Chen Xueru and the others, he still had to fulfill his responsibilities.
He did as he was told, stripped to the waist, and knelt there silently without saying a word.
Father picked up the chicken feather blanket and started beating him.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
He just silently endured his father's punishment, and soon Hou Jie's body was covered with bruises.
The father took a deep breath, paid attention, and tried to calm himself down, but he still couldn't hide his anger: "Little bastard, how could my Hou family produce a bastard like you! Your father is a teacher, how can you let me teach and educate people!"
He became angrier and angrier as he spoke, roaring, "You know how good Xueru is. How could you have the heart to treat such a good child like this?"
"You have no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity or shame. You really bring disgrace upon our family. What you did not only hurt her, but also our family. Today, I must teach you a lesson!"
