Chapter 711 - 9: The Cannon Fodder Best Friend of the Tragic Romance Heroine (9)
"We don’t need to care about this."If they come, they come; if they don’t, so be it. Anyway, the house worth millions has already been given, and even if they don’t show up, Jiang Lai doesn’t plan to actively seek them out.
As for now, she has more important things to do.
"The new house is ready; let’s sell the house here."
Jiang Lai was referring to the small house the family currently lived in, which was in a good location and could fetch a good price if sold.
Cai Xian was still a bit hesitant.
Jiang Lai didn’t rush her to make a decision.
"Never mind, let’s go back and see first."
When the mother and daughter were going upstairs, there was a group of old men playing chess downstairs, with many old ladies playing cards nearby.
"Hey Xiao Cai, you’re back! Where did you run off to and left the whole family for so long? With two elderly at home, how can you as a child run around like that? Hurry back and take a look, the old couple has been in a terrible state."
Cai Xian ignored them and turned to go upstairs.
As soon as she reached the third-floor hallway, a strange smell wafted out from the right side of the fourth-floor apartment.
Looking up from below, her home’s door was open, with a nice aroma coming from the opposite house, while from her own came a stench of sour food and sewage.
Cai Xian frowned and quickened her pace to go up.
From behind the ajar door came the sound of the elderly coughing and spitting.
She pushed the door open and saw a glob of yellow phlegm spat on the floor she had painstakingly scrubbed every day.
The elderly person sitting in the wheelchair looked at her, first in a daze, then pointed at her nose and yelled out loud.
"You actually know how to come back!!"
Another old lady in the room also came out, saw the daughter-in-law wearing new clothes with her hands full of bags, and instantly exploded with pent-up anger.
"You still know where home is, huh? Where have you been the past two days?! You have a good home and you don’t want it, where did you go!"
The old lady’s voice was sharp, and just as she entered the door, the stench made Cai Xian dizzy. Now, her mind was completely overwhelmed.
"I was only gone for two days, and you’ve trashed the house like this?"
"You shouldn’t have mentioned it! What’s up with you? Zhizhi said the house loan for this month wasn’t deducted successfully, so hurry and give him a call, transfer the money over, the young couple is worried sick, and you as a mother aren’t reliable at all! What are you standing there stunned for, hurry up!"
The old lady looked anxious, seemingly worried to death because of her grandson’s affairs.
Cai Xian frowned, unable to speak.
"What are you thinking?! Your son defaulted this month! Send money to him!"
"Where’s Jiang Dao Hai? Where is he?"
"What’s this got to do with Ah Hai? He’s at the supermarket since you’re not here!"
Cai Xian didn’t say a word, turned around to leave, but was grabbed by the old lady.
"Where are you going? Did you hear me say to send money to Zhizhi? What kind of mother are you? Ignoring your son and daughter-in-law, and even your own grandson, always running around with your daughter. That daughter will belong to someone else in the future; what’s the use of being so nice to her?!"
The old lady blocked the door, with a stance that said she wouldn’t let her leave without transferring the money.
Cai Xian looked at everything before her.
The home she had carefully managed, the flooring she personally bought from the hardware market now littered with garbage, the kitchen’s soup and water spreading everywhere, trampled to a mess in two days.
The trash was overflowing the bin, with cigarette butts, waste paper, fruit peels scattered around, rotting and stinking in this hot season.
Her bedroom door was open, and the cabinet facing the door was ransacked, the clothes inside turned inside out, obviously Jiang Dao Hai was searching for her bank card inside.
Retracting her gaze, Cai Xian looked at the two elders in front of her.
For the first time, she felt an unprecedented despair and helplessness.
"Mom, you know exactly how you treat your son and daughter-in-law. How can you justify pointing fingers at me here?"
"What did you say?! Are you crazy?! I’m your mom!!"
"You’re Jiang Dao Hai’s mom, my mom passed away many years ago."
"As long as you and Ah Hai are still a couple, I’m your mom!! You can’t get rid of me!"
"In that case, a divorce would be better."
"What do you mean?! What do you mean by those words? You’re old enough to be a grandma, and you still want a divorce. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out? If not for your own sake, at least think about Zhizhi and the child’s reputation!"
Cai Xian turned her head, giving Jiang Lai a glance.
Then, indifferently dropped a line.
"Pack your things and move out of my house, I’m divorcing Jiang Dao Hai immediately."
Having said that, she went straight back into the house, from the secret compartment at the bottom of the cabinet took out a small box, and with no hesitation, pulled Jiang Lai along and left that home.
The supermarket door opened, the curtain lifted, the inside filled with smoke and haze, with a group of people playing mahjong, quite a few spectators surrounded, and the entrance blocked tightly. Seeing this scene, some old customers frowned and turned away without hesitation.
Standing at the door for quite some time, Jiang Dao Hai at the mahjong table didn’t even notice her.
In the end, it was the person behind him who tapped him on the shoulder.
"Your wife is here, stop playing."
Jiang Dao Hai was smoking, lifted his head and saw Cai Xian. After a moment of panic, considering that Cai Xian valued face, he casually nodded.
"It’s alright, just playing some mahjong."
"Hahaha, Boss Jiang is still heavily wife-controlled! Isn’t he going to starve when he goes home this time?"
"Just a minor game Xiao Cai, don’t be angry."
"Xiao Cai, want to join the table and play a few rounds? There’s no customers now, being idle anyway."
A group of men, puffing clouds, with Jiang Dao Hai in the middle, looking detestable.
Cai Xian kept a straight face, saying nothing.
Anyone could tell she was upset.
Jiang Dao Hai coughed.
"Soon, it’ll be over, you go home and start cooking first!"
"Get out."
Mahjong sounds continued.
"I said, all of you, get out!"
The supermarket went quiet, everyone stopped, silently glanced at Cai Xian, then turned to Jiang Dao Hai.
"Forget it, forget it, not playing today, come back another time."
"Hai’s brother is in trouble, sister-in-law, don’t hit him when you go home."
"Just playing some mahjong, Hai’s brother is a really nice person, so family-oriented, sister-in-law don’t be angry."
Jiang Dao Hai said nothing, pushed the mahjong and looked at the people around.
"Might be she doesn’t want to live life properly anymore. Fine, let’s not play these days, I should sit down and talk with her, see if this life can go on."
"If that’s the case, then don’t leave and save yourselves from hearing rumors later. In front of all these people, I’m stating it here, Jiang Dao Hai, tomorrow morning at nine-thirty, at the Civil Affairs Bureau for the divorce, whoever doesn’t show up is a coward."
Before all those people, Jiang Dao Hai retorted without hesitation.
"If life can’t go on, divorce then! We’ll go divorce tomorrow, damn it!"
