Chapter 75 - 75: The Wise and Brave Yu Minglang



Jia Xiufang sat on the sofa, after catching her breath, all that was left in her heart was an empty feeling.

Xiao Qian walked over and silently picked up the fruits on the floor. She knew her mother was already thinking about divorce.

It’s just that the camel still needs the last straw to be crushed.

The despicable Yu Minglang, if he hadn’t torn up that photo, now she would have shown it to her mother, who would have divorced without hesitation.

People, in the heat of the moment, can do anything.

But when Jia Xiufang’s anger subsided, it would be hard for her to muster the courage again, even if she was already utterly disappointed in Chen Lin, she would still hesitate.

Traditional women, who value family and rely on their husbands, have a strong sense of devotion. This is both a strength and a deadly weakness.

There are 15 million women in our country who are married to homosexuals, enduring a life without marital relations and having twisted and even violent family atmospheres, yet less than 30% of them choose to divorce.

For most women, even if their lives are unsatisfactory, they are too afraid to face the future and move forward. Even when people tell them that the future won’t be worse than the present, they still don’t believe it. They would rather endure a broken marriage, finding any excuse – love for their children or the scumbag husband, uncertainty over the division of property… There are many reasons, but they won’t divorce.

Even now, Jia Xiufang vaguely understood that her husband Chen Lin was no longer the young man who once exchanged tomatoes with her in their production team, but she still wavered on the issue of divorce.

Xiao Qian wanted to use her mother’s current disappointment and anger to force her to break free from her Trash Dad.

“This damned Yu Minglang, can he even be relied on!?” In her urgency, Xiao Qian cursed softly.

It’s all Yu Minglang’s fault! If he hadn’t torn up the photo, everything would have been settled by now.

As soon as Xiao Qian’s voice fell, she saw a man in green camouflage enter the courtyard.

“Is Sister-in-law here?”

He was a young man, and Xiao Qian hurriedly greeted him, stealing a glance at the heartbroken Jia Xiufang. Thankfully, Jia Xiufang wasn’t paying attention!

She cleared her throat, “I’m your sister.”

It was the old unit’s custom to address the leader’s wife as sister-in-law. Since Yu Minglang couldn’t find the time, he sent one of his subordinates to deliver the items to Xiao Qian.

“Sis-, uh, sister! Young Master Lang told me to give this to you.” The young man quickly corrected himself and handed over the items.

Xiao Qian took the thick kraft paper bag from him.

“You’ve worked hard, you must be tired? Come in and have some water and fruits.”

“No need, I have to hurry back and report. Goodbye, sister!”

Xiao Qian sent him to the door and came back, opening the bag and looking inside, satisfied.

She decided to take back the words she said about him being unreliable.

He was very reliable, extremely reliable!

“Qian’er, who was that?” Jia Xiufang’s voice was weak now.

“Do you want to see this? Ah, maybe you shouldn’t, Mom, I’m afraid it will break your heart…” Xiao Qian said deliberately.

As expected, Jia Xiufang was drawn in.

“What’s that? Give it to me!”

“This… is my dad outside… Ah! You really shouldn’t look!”

Xiao Qian pretended to hesitate but still handed it over.

When she said this, Jia Xiufang probably already had some idea. She took it, opened it, and the items that fell out broke her heart completely.

There were photos, tapes, witness statements with handprints, and a house rental contract…

Yu Minglang was amazing.

He had promised Xiao Qian to collect evidence legally, so these items were all legally obtained and could serve as evidence in court. There were no problems taking them anywhere.

Xiao Qian put the tape in the tape player, and a conversation came from inside. “Uncle, is this house yours?”

“Yes!”

“Who did you rent it to?”

“A couple. The man’s last name is Chen, and the woman’s name is Xiao Xue. There’s quite the age difference between them. I noticed it the day they moved in and asked about it. They said they were introduced through a friend, and the man was on his second marriage because his first wife had died.”

Jia Xiufang listened to this and stood up angrily, grabbing the tape recorder to smash it, but Xiao Qian quickly stopped her.

The conversation inside continued.

“Are you sure they rented the house as a couple?”

“Of course! My house has a strict policy for renting, I can’t rent it to just anyone. I asked several times, and the man insisted that they were married, it’s a second marriage for him, his first wife has died.”

The person asking knew how to entice the respondent, so he continued to pursue the matter.

“Uncle, how did his first wife die?”

“I heard from them that she died in a car accident. The man treats his new daughter-in-law really well, always calling her Xiao Xue, and even set up a stove in the courtyard to heat washing water for her at night…”

“Ah!” Jia Xiufang yelled, kicking the sofa, her hands trembling.

He cursed her to die in a car accident!

How evil!

After so many years, where has she let him down? Giving birth to and raising their children, getting up early and staying up late, borrowing money to build a house with him, working hard to make money, eating leftovers and buying clothes at the Night Market. And now she has become someone who “died in a car accident”?

“Mom, don’t be angry, calm down.” Xiao Qian hurriedly poured a glass of water for her mother, but Jia Xiufang splashed the water on the floor and cried with her face covered.

Xiao Qian also admired Yu Minglang for his conversation recording and these items. She didn’t know how he had obtained them, but her Trash Dad’s actions had completely chilled her mother’s heart.

Cursing his first wife to die in a car accident was even more effective than showing Jia Xiufang the explicit photos of Chen Lin and Chu Xue. He was clever to use this strategy, and it was cute. Alright, the divorce was settled.

“Qian’er, my daughter! Tell me, where did I go wrong? Why is he treating me like this!?”

“Yes, yes, he shouldn’t treat my mom like this, he’s not human!” Xiao Qian went along with her words.

Jia Xiufang was now crying so hard that she lost control, her hands shaking as she looked at the photos.

These pictures were not like the ones Xiao Qian had asked Zheng Xu to take.

The landlord who rented the house to Chen Lin lived in the upper room while Chen Lin and Chu Xue lived in the lower room. Both families shared one courtyard, facing each other. One day, the landlord celebrated his old man’s birthday and took a family photo in the yard. By accident, Chen Lin hugging Chu Xue as they entered the house was captured in the background.

“He never hugged me. I served him foot-washes for so many years, and he still hit me. But he goes out and serves foot-washes for other women…” At this point, Jia Xiufang was in utter despair.

Men, what kind of creatures are they!

She was so heartbroken that she lost the desire to look at the other items in the bag.

Xiao Qian went through them one by one, photos, testimonies, landlord signed transcripts, tapes. This evidence was enough to prove that Chen Lin and Chu Xue were living together illegally, and as husband and wife too. This would be enough to sue, and it worked out great—she could sue today!

The phone rang, and Xiao Qian went to answer it.

“Baitaling Laundry.”

“It’s me.” Yu Minglang’s voice rang out on the other end of the phone..
