My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 196: Qin Huairu Wants a Divorce

Qin Huairu raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at her second and third aunts, sobbing, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, I really can't go on like this... I finally managed to get some food for the children, but Jia Zhangshi got drunk and started acting crazy, snatching the children's things, and... and even hit me..."

As she spoke, she deliberately brought the bright red handprint on her face closer to everyone so that they could see it more clearly.

Everyone was furious when they saw the clearly visible handprint.

The second aunt frowned and said directly, "This Jia Zhangshi is outrageous! Look at her, she beat her like this. Even if she's her mother-in-law, you can't kill her like that!"

The third aunt chimed in, "Exactly! This Jia Zhangshi is getting more and more outrageous. What kind of mother-in-law bullies her daughter-in-law like this?"

The neighbors around them nodded in agreement, all speaking up for Qin Huairu.

Just then, inside the house, Jia Zhangshi, fueled by alcohol, was still cursing and swearing: "Qin Huairu, you little slut, where have you been? Come back right now!"

The voice was shrill and sharp, full of malice.

Everyone heard it clearly, and their anger flared even more, with many expressing their indignation on Qin Huairu's behalf.

Someone couldn't help but stand up and shout into the Jia family's house, "Jia Zhangshi! What right do you have to hit Qin Huairu? Do you know how hard it is for her, a woman, to raise three burdens from your Jia family? And you're bullying her like this!"

Others stood up and criticized Jia Zhangshi, saying, "Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu works so hard for your Jia family, and you're still not satisfied. If you continue like this, be careful Qin Huairu might report you to the Women's Federation!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Jia Zhangshi, fueled by alcohol, rushed out of the house, pointing at the crowd and yelling, "Get out! Who are you all? What are you doing making a scene in our house? Our business is none of your concern!"

Everyone was furious after hearing what Jia Zhangshi said.

Meanwhile, inside the Jia family's house, on the bed, Jia Dongxu, watching the chaotic scene, finally couldn't help but plead, "Mom, please stop making noise..."

Upon hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Madam Jia immediately turned and walked towards the bedside. However, before she could reach Jia Dongxu, her legs gave way, and she slowly collapsed to the ground.

This sudden scene startled everyone.

"Jia Zhangshi has fallen!" someone shouted.

Hearing the sound, everyone immediately gathered around to see what was going on. But before they could even get close, they heard a loud snoring sound, and Jia Zhangshi was muttering, "Delicious...so delicious..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; it turned out he had simply fallen asleep from being drunk.

At this moment, the second aunt looked at Qin Huairu, sighed, and said, "Huairu, you should go back. Your mother-in-law is quite drunk; let her sleep on the floor for now."

The crowd, finding the farce pointless, shook their heads and left.

Just moments ago, Bang Geng was still eating the food Qin Huairu had brought him. This scene infuriated Jia Dongxu, who was lying in bed. He grabbed something nearby and threw it at Bang Geng, yelling, "Eat, eat, eat! You little brat, all you know is eating! Your grandma's lying on the floor, and you haven't even glanced at her!"

Something hit the stem of the stick, making him cry out in pain. He muttered, "Dad, what are you doing? I'm not full yet. Grandma can lie on the floor if she wants to..."

Hearing Bang Geng's words, Jia Dongxu trembled with anger, but with both legs broken, he couldn't get out of bed and could only sigh helplessly.

At this moment, Qin Huairu, her eyes red, looked at Jia Zhangshi, who was fast asleep on the floor. She spat on the ground. She abruptly turned to Jia Dongxu on the bed and said coldly, "Jia Dongxu, I really want to live a good life with you, but what kind of life is this in your Jia family? Your mother treats me like this, and you don't even utter a sound! Let me tell you, Jia Dongxu, we can't live like this anymore!"

Upon hearing that Qin Huairu was going to file for divorce, Jia Dongxu quickly shook his head and said weakly, "Huairu, that's just my mom's temper. Just bear with her a little longer..."

"Endure, endure, endure!" Qin Huairu exploded upon hearing this, roaring furiously, "I've endured this for so many years, and you expect me to endure it again? Look at you, lying in bed all day long, you good-for-nothing, and you expect me to endure this? Let me tell you, I'm not going to endure it anymore! Tomorrow I'm going to the Women's Federation, I want a divorce!"

Upon hearing that Qin Huairu really wanted to divorce him, Jia Dongxu panicked and seemed completely at a loss.

However, when he heard the word "useless" in Qin Huairu's words, his initial panic was instantly replaced by rage. He glared at her and roared, "Qin Huairu, you slut! You think you can leave the Jia family now that my legs are broken? Let me tell you, no way! You're a member of the Jia family in life and in death. If you dare to divorce me, I'll kill you!"

Qin Huairu glanced coldly at Jia Dongxu lying on the bed, then suddenly stepped forward.

"Snapped!"

With a sharp crack, Jia Dongxu was stunned by the sudden slap. He covered his face and said in disbelief, "Qin Huairu, you...you dare to hit me?"

Qin Huairu sneered and said, "What's wrong? Weren't you going to kill me? Let's see how you, this piece of trash, will kill me."

At this moment, Bang Geng, who was standing to the side, was also startled by Qin Huairu's sudden action and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

Looking at Qin Huairu, who had suddenly become so arrogant, Jia Dongxu was so angry that he trembled all over. He struggled to sit up and grabbed whatever he could reach in front of the bed, intending to throw it at her.

But after searching the bed for a long time, all he found were pillows and blankets; there was nothing hard he could hit.

Looking at his exasperated and helpless state, Qin Huairu curled her lips into a mocking smile: "What? You want to make a move? Go ahead and do it."

Jia Dongxu glared at her, gritting his teeth as he cursed, "You...you bitch!"

Qin Huairu scoffed disdainfully, looking at him and saying, "Me, cheap? I think you're the cheap one! Jia Dongxu, why don't you take a good look at yourself? You think you can control me like this?"

"Let me tell you, I, Qin Huairu, was blind to marry you! For so many years, I've been a slave in your Jia family, serving you, serving your mother, and raising the children. What have I gained from that?"

"I was naive before, thinking that I could just put up with it and it would all pass. But now I see it clearly, your Jia family is a bottomless pit! Your mother is an unreasonable old hag, and what about you? A grown man, lying in bed all day, what can you do besides yelling?"

"Do you think I'll still put up with this like before? Let me tell you, no way! I can't live like this for another day!"

"I'm going to the Women's Federation tomorrow. I want a divorce! You have to get a divorce, whether you like it or not!"

"Everyone in the compound saw what happened tonight. Your mother threw a tantrum and beat people; I'm the victim. I refuse to believe that anyone will side with those two good-for-nothings from the Jia family!"

Jia Dongxu's face turned red and white as she scolded him, but he was powerless to refute her. He could only lie on the bed, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.
