Divorce

Although Mr. Zhang was hesitant, he obediently followed her to the corridor.

Old Madam Zhang asked, “What about after the divorce? What do you plan to do?”

She didn’t object immediately, instead only asking his plans if he divorced.

“I’ll talk about it after the divorce,” Mr. Zhang said emotionally.

She said, “Son, Huanhuan’s identity hasn’t been made public yet. If you divorce your wife for a maid, what will the outsiders say? Not to mention the freedom of speech on the internet now.”

He frowned.

She continued, “If you were just anyone, no one would care. However, your brother is a deputy chief.”

He looked dissatisfied.

She went on, “If Huanhuan’s identity is made public, there will be more gossip. It’s wrong for a wife to hit a child, but will an illegitimate daughter be seen as a good person? You want to divorce your first wife for an illegitimate daughter; can you bear the consequences of public opinion?”

“But she’s too vicious. I really can’t face her anymore,” he said unwillingly.

“Son, if Huanhuan wasn’t your illegitimate daughter, would she have been that hostile?” Old Madam Zhang said seriously. “Moreover, isn’t she like this all because you cheated on her? Huiying is indeed not very smart, but her husband cheated on her with another woman more than 20 years ago. Now, her children have to face the fact that their father is a cheater. How can Huiying not hate Huanhuan?”

“But this time, she was too cruel,” he said guiltily. “She’s a mother herself. Doesn’t her conscience hurt when she treats a child like that?”

Although Old Madam Zhang knew this was all Zhang Huanhuan’s plan, she couldn’t tell her eldest son that.

Mr. Zhang was currently in a state of high spirits. If she said anything bad about Zhang Huanhuan, it would only anger him. Thus, she could only target Zhang Huanhuan’s mother.

She said, “Back then, Huiying was almost 9 months pregnant. At that time, that mistress of yours woman deliberately provoked her, causing her to have a premature delivery and massive bleeding. She almost died in the hospital from that occurrence. Why didn’t you say your mistress was vicious at that time? Why didn’t you say that you’d never contact her again?”

After a pause, she continued, “Since she’s a mother as well, why didn’t you ask that woman about her conscience when she did that? Now, over a small matter, you want to abandon your first wife who almost died giving birth to your child. Do you have any morals? Son, why are you so muddle-headed!”

Mr. Zhang was speechless.

She was silent for a moment. “When people are angry, it’s inevitable they’d do some bad things. However, none of them ever really meant to do it. If you divorce Huiying over this, what will happen to Zhang Xun and Nuannuan? Or is that, in your heart, neither of them can compare to this illegitimate daughter?” “That’s not it, Mom!” Mr. Zhang immediately replied.

She replied, “Then stop thinking about a divorce anymore. Huiying has contributed a lot to our Zhang family. Back then, we were very poor, but she didn’t mind. Instead, she married you and gave birth to Zhang Xun. It wasn’t easy for her to do that. At that time, she even used her family’s money to subsidize ours. We shouldn’t forget her sacrifices.”

He was speechless. He knew that he owed his wife, but he never felt gratitude toward her.

Old Madam Zhang immediately saw through her eldest son’s thoughts.

She continued, “Don’t try and tell me that your mistress also gave birth to your child, and don’t tell me that she’s your true love. If you were still poor and had nothing when you met her, she wouldn’t even have looked at you.”

Mr. Zhang didn’t give up, wanting to speak up for the mistress.

He replied, “No matter what, she stayed with me for so many years without a title. It was also quite tough for her.”

Old Madam Zhang asked, “That’s right, Wuming may have stayed with you. However, how much money did you spend on her at that time? Huiying might not know about this, but Zhang Xun and I know very well.”

He replied in guilt, “I…”

Before he could say anything, she continued, “It’s true Huanhuan got injured from Huiying’s impulsiveness. However, do you dare to say you’re not also in the wrong here? Had you not protected Huanhuan at all times, why would she hate the girl so much?”

He immediately said, “Mom, she deliberately splashed Huanhuan with tea. I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I just said a few words.”

She frowned, “You lectured your first wife in front of Huanhuan. Did you even think about Huiying’s face? Besides, it was almost time to eat, so why serve tea? If the person who served you tea was Nuannuan or Zhang Xun, would you do the same?”
