Yang JianGuo pulled Zhao XueMei faraway and the whole time, Zhao XueMei kept on yelling and cursing. “Is he still human? He doesn’t even care about his own grandson, even an outsider knows sympathy! For his grandson to face something like this, he actually threw us out because of a house, is he still human? No, I can’t do this, I need to go back and have a talk with him! I’m going back to talk to him!!”

Yang JianGuo held onto Zhao XueMei’s wrist as she continued to struggle against him, but he just squeezed tighter, to the point that Zhao XueMei’s wrist started hurting and still hadn’t stopped. The two kept on arguing and no one noticed that Yang Xiao wasn’t behind them.

“How could he disown his grandson?!!” Zhao XueMei screamed.

Pedestrians all turned to look at them. Yang JianGuo had never acted so embarrassingly before, but he didn’t care anymore. He held onto Zhao XueMei tightly and turned to look at her, “My dad even disowned me, his son, why would he care about a grandson? Now you think he should’ve cared for Xiao Xiao? Why aren’t you saying that you’re not a human when you didn’t take care of him?”

Zhao XueMei paused for a moment before pointing at Yang JianGuo’s nose, “Don’t say it as if it’s all my fault. You say you love your father but when we didn’t bring him over to the city, you didn’t say shit! When I said to sell the house, you just tucked your tail away and said nothing. Now it’s all my fault. Yang JianGuo, are you still a man?!!”

Yang JianGuo was expressionless, he didn’t react to Zhao XueMei’s anger as well. When she finished, he nodded and said, “Yes, I’m not a man, so I don’t have the face to meet my father. He painstakingly raised me, and all I became was a good-for-nothing that can’t even reject my wife’s words. I failed him, I don’t have the face to meet him, and I’m not a man. Zhao XueMei, let’s divorce.”

Zhao XueMei’s eyes widened, “Yang JianGuo what did you say? I dare you to say it again!” Zhao XueMei shook with anger, “Fine, fine, you’re good Yang JianGuo. Just you wait, if I’m not living well, then I’ll make sure you’re all living like hell!!”

It was only then did Yang Xiao stumble into the scene. The moment Zhao XueMei saw him, she pulled him in front of her and said, “I’m telling you, Xiao Xiao doesn’t need your care and from now on, his not part of the Yang family.”

Before Yang Xiao realized what happened, he was pulled away by Zhao XueMei. When he turned to look at Yang JianGuo, he just stood there with his head low, not reacting at all to what Zhao XueMei said. He didn’t have any inclination of stopping her either.

When Zhao XueMei pulled Yang Xiao somewhere faraway, she finally broke down into tears.

Yang Xiao was already aggravated and now hearing her cry, he thought she had another argument with his dad. All that was on his mind was the million yuan, so her tears just made his head blow up and he shouted, “Mom, can you stop making a fuss? Do you think I don’t have enough to worry about? You need to think of a solution quickly and get that million yuan! I don’t have much time, I don’t have much time you know?! Go and plead with my grandpa! Why do you only know how to cry?!!”

Once Zhao XueMei heard Yang Xiao, her eyes were filled with hatred, “What grandpa? Your grandpa doesn’t need you anymore. He already sold his restaurant, he doesn’t want to take care of you. Pleading with him won’t do anything!”

“Grandpa’s just angry, it’s just getting to him. My dad’s his son and I’m his grandson, he couldn’t not care about us. It’s just you didn’t leave a good impression…”

Zhao XueMei punched him hard and said with hatred, “Do you know, your dad asked for a divorce? They don’t want to take care you, none of them care about you!!”

Yang Xiao was dumbfounded, “Mom, what are you saying?”

“I’m not joking, did you hear what your dad said? He told me to go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs tomorrow and get divorced from him!! It’s all because of your grandpa, it’s all because of him! Why hasn’t he died already? He just has to separate our family like this huh!”

When Zhao XueMei raised her head up, a venomous glint flashed across her eyes.

Yang Xiao paused for a moment before finally slamming his phone down, hard, and screamed at the top of his lungs, “So no one fucking cares! They just want to see me fucking dead!!”

Zhao XueMei was shocked by Yang Xiao and when she came to her senses, she hugged him close, “Don’t worry, don’t worry, you still have your mother. Don’t scare me like that, your mom won’t allow anything to happen to you, don’t scare me like that…oh why is our life so difficult…”

As she talked, the tears started falling again and Yang Xiao stood motionless like a log as she cried. It was only after a while did he lift his head up and all that was inside was pure hatred.

When Zhao XueMei and Yang Xiao returned, Yang JianGuo was, not surprisingly, absent. The house was messy like how they left it. Half a day had almost gone by since they left. No one would’ve expected things to turn out this way in just two days.

The moment Yang Xiao returned, he locked himself into his room. He ignored Zhao XueMei completely, so if it wasn’t for the fact that there were footsteps, Zhao XueMei would’ve have thought he couldn’t handle it anymore. “Xiao Xiao, open the door and let mom inside, please? You haven’t eaten this entire day. Mom made you Fresh Shrimp and Baked rice. Wasn’t this your favorite dish? Please open the door and let me in. Xiao Xiao! Xiao Xiao!”

Zhao XueMei kept on knocking without ab answer. Worried, she put the plate down and began slapping hard on the door. She screamed and cried, “Xiao Xiao! Open the door, don’t scare me, don’t do anything stupid, mom will sell the house tomorrow, mom will definitely find the money, Xiao Xiao!”

Finally an angry roar came from Yang Xiao, “Can you leave me the fuck alone and let me have my peace?!”

Zhao XueMei got yelled at but her heart calmed down. She quickly placated Yang Xiao by saying, “I’ll leave, I’ll leave. As long as you’re fine, I’ll leave right away.”

Once she was certain that Yang Xiao was fine staying at home, Zhao XueMei packed up some stuff and left. She didn’t want to leave this house, but even more so, she didn’t want to see Yang Xiao suffer. To be honest, there was an easy solution to this problem. Even though, Yang Xiao was also at fault, he was tricked into it, thus the best course of action was to call the police. However, there was no guarantee of Yang Xiao’s safety if they called the police and secondly, he was involved in gambling, according to the law, there would be jail time waiting for him. There was no way Zhao XueMei was going to see Yang Xiao suffer like that.

Thus, she decided to sell this house.

Then, scrapping a bit more here and there should be enough.
