Chapter 136 Two Rogues and a Show
He Zhiyong doesn't want to get divorced, nor does he want to be single.
But he couldn't beat his own mother.
Old Mrs. He carefully calculated the bill for her son.
Let’s not talk about how much money and things those two shameless bastards from the Yao family extorted from their family during this period.
How much money did Yao Huifen's family spend during the time she and her son were in the hospital?
Old Mrs. He didn't dare not give the money.
If not, the hospital would not be able to pay to keep Yao Huifen alive.
If Yao Huifen really died in the hospital, then He Zhiyong was not committing domestic violence, but beating someone to death!
Even if the person he beat to death was his wife, he would most likely go to jail.
Although Grandma He favors her younger son, she can't just watch her older son go to jail.
But if they kept spending money to keep Yao Huifen alive...not to mention a peasant family like theirs, even city officials would not be able to afford to spend money on the hospital like this.
Therefore, the best way is to let his son divorce Yao Huifen while she is out of danger!
As long as the two of them get divorced, what will happen if Yao Huifen says in the future that she has no money to see a doctor?
Haha~ She is not the daughter-in-law of the He family. Why should the He family spend money to treat an outsider?
Worried that her eldest son still couldn't figure it out, Mrs. He sighed and patted her son on the shoulder to comfort him:
"Zhiyong, think about it yourself. Is the money our family has spent these days enough for you to marry a new wife?"
"If you don't divorce Yao Huifen, she will just lie there like this, and I don't know how much money she will cost our family in the future."
"And the two scabby guys from the Yao family, relying on the fact that they are from the daughter's family, keep saying they want to make the decision for their daughter. Bah! They are clearly looking for an excuse to blackmail our family!"
Thinking about how she had been extorted of more than 200 yuan by the Yao father and son in just a few days, Old Mrs. He finally shed a few sad tears out of true emotion.
"Zhiyong, if you don't divorce Yao Huifen, this unlucky girl, you're going to force your mother to die!"
Although He Zhiyong is tall and strong, his brain is probably only the size of a peanut.
When his mother asked him to divorce his wife, he was thinking about what he would do without a wife.
Now that Old Lady He calculated the money their family had spent on Yao Huifen during this period, he felt that his mother was right.
With so much money, it is enough for him to marry a new wife. Why would he need a cripple who is paralyzed in bed and unable to move?
Moreover, He Zhiyong also heard from the doctor in the hospital that even if Yao Huifen was rescued, she might become disabled and would never be able to do heavy physical work for the rest of her life.
How can that be?
There are so many housework to do at home, and there are also many people in the family, young and old, waiting for her to serve them.
He Zhiyong finally nodded to Old Lady He: "You can divorce, but Chunling and Chunsheng are our children, you can't let Yao Huifen take them away."
He had his own plans in mind.
He Chunsheng was his only son, and he had to be the one to carry on the He family's bloodline, not the Yao family.
He Chunling has grown up. If she gets married and receives a dowry, she can also find a new wife for her father. The Yao family cannot get it too cheap.
The mother and son were calculating loudly, but they forgot that the Yao family was not a puppet in their hands. How could they possibly do what they wished?
Divorce is allowed, but the Yao family must be compensated 3,000 yuan in one lump sum as payment for Yao Huifen's future medical expenses.
"Three thousand yuan? You might as well go and rob me!" He Zhiyong really wanted to say that he would not divorce me.
But if they don't divorce, Yao Huifen will stay in the county hospital every day and their family will have to continue spending money on her.
He Zhiyong was reluctant to part with the money, so he could only continue to argue with the Yao father and son about the compensation.
Old man Yao had already agreed on a confession with his granddaughter and had bargained with the He family for several days, insisting that the price would not be any less than 2,000 yuan.
The He family simply can't afford so much money.
Old man Yao started to act like a spoiled brat, calling Old Lady He "mother-in-law" with a grin. What he meant was that he did not support the young couple's divorce. Both he and his son were men, and Yao Huifen had nowhere to go after her divorce, so she returned to her parents' home. If she was still paralyzed in bed, it would be inconvenient for two grown men to take care of her.
It would be better for her to continue staying in the He family. After all, Mrs. He is not too old and her legs and feet are strong. Isn't it her duty to take care of her own daughter-in-law?
When Old Mrs. He heard this, she almost fainted from anger.
How could these two scabby guys from the Yao family be so shameless?
The human mentality is so strange.
The more you want to accomplish something, the more likely you are to get stuck in a rut.
At the beginning, He Zhiyong and his mother wanted to kick Yao Huifen out of the house and keep the two children in the He family.
Now, the father and son of the Yao family insisted that the He family give them 2,000 yuan before they agreed to let Yao Huifen and He Zhiyong divorce, otherwise Yao Huifen would have to stay in the He family for the rest of her life.
Not only did He Zhiyong have to earn money to pay for Yao Huifen's medical treatment, but Old Lady He also had to take care of Yao Huifen's excrement and urine.
The father and son both felt justified. After all, when Yao Huifen married into the He family, she was in very good health. This time she is seriously injured and lying in the hospital. She may even become disabled. In the final analysis, isn't it all your fault, He Zhiyong?
Oh, you beat my daughter to a cripple, and now you don’t want her anymore. You want to throw this burden to the Yao family without paying a penny?
There is no such good thing in the world!
"So what are you going to do? Anyway, forget about the 2,000 yuan. Ask around in the village and see who can come up with that much money?"
He Zhiyong looked at Yao Caibao angrily.
Yao Caibao also put away his playful smile.
"No money? Then pawn your daughter and son to me. When your He family has money, you can redeem them!"
He Zhiyong was furious and was about to refuse, but was stopped by his mother.
"Are you stupid? What's wrong with letting the Yao family raise two children for our He family? Chunsheng and Chunling are still surnamed He anyway, and you are their real father. When you are old, do they dare not take care of you and see you to the end of your life?"
He Zhiyong opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute his mother.
What his mother said seemed to be right, but it also seemed like something was not right.
It's a pity that his limited intelligence wasn't enough for him to figure out what was wrong with doing this.
I could only watch as Old Lady He bargained with the Yao family father and son, and finally reached an agreement.
The Yao family agreed to let Yao Huifen divorce He Zhiyong, but He Zhiyong had to give the Yao family another 500 yuan to be used for Yao Huifen's future medical treatment and recovery.
The two children also followed Yao Huifen back to the Yao family and did not change their surnames for the time being.
The Yao family still needs to see how Yao Huifen recovers after the operation.
If Yao Huifen becomes disabled, her eldest daughter He Chunling will have to change her surname and live with her biological mother in the future so that it will be easier for her to take care of her mother.
If Yao Huifen recovers well after the operation, the He family will compensate her 500 yuan and they can take both children back.
