First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

199 Should my Third Daughter-in-Law be in Charge?

Xie Laogen asked Xie Daqiang to gather his mother’s things and bring her home.

Lady Ruan desperately glanced around at everyone and didn’t see a single person who spoke up for her.

By now, it became clear to Lady Ruan that she was definitely getting kicked out. She couldn’t help but to cry.

As she cried, she remembered all the silver she’s saved throughout the years. Even if she does get sent home, she was determined to take all the silver with her. With all those savings, her life with the Ruan family will be easier.

!!

Lady Ruan rushed into her room. Everyone watched her scramble and worried that she might have bad thoughts.

“Is the fourth grandma having a hard time digesting this?”

“Someone should check up on her.”

Xie Laogen hissed coldly, “No need. She won’t die.”

Everyone stared at Xie Laogen. They found this man to be weak and selfish. Before, to marry Lady Ruan, he infuriated his mother to death. And now, he divorced Lady Ruan for Widow Wang.

Everyone was confident that if Widow Wang wasn’t around, there was no way he would leave Lady Ruan.

No matter how bad Lady Ruan was to everyone, she’s always been nice to Xie Laogen. All these years, she took care of all his needs and worried about him constantly.

Now that Xie Laogen decided to leave her so easily, people started to view him more poorly.

As everyone thought about it, Widow Wang caringly walked to Xie Laogen, “Laogen, if my sister is going home, it’s not ideal for her to leave empty-handed. I think it’d be good if you let her have all the silver you’ve saved.”

Xie Laogen didn’t think about his money until Widow Wang mentioned that. The silver was the property of the Xie family and shouldn’t be taken by that woman.

Just then, Lady Ruan came out with some baggage. Behind her, Xie Daqiang and Xie Erzhu each carried one for her as well.

Xie Laogen leaped over and pulled on her baggage. Lady Ruan’s expression changed as she tried to take it back.

Xie Laogen shook the bundle and everything flew out. Other than clothes, there was some jewelry including silver earrings and bracelets. There were also 60 taels of silver.

Lady Ruan screamed and lunged at the ground as she tried to pick up the silver. Chen Liu beat her to it and snatched it over while saying, “Mom, you are no longer a part of the Xie family. What right do you have to take our silver? You have to leave all this behind.”

Lady Ruan went nuts and tried to fight Chen Liu. However, she was much taller and bigger, so struggling against her was futile.

Xie Laogen picked up the silver jewelry and checked to make sure Lady Ruan didn’t carry any more before he requested, “Send her home.”

This time, Lady Ruan fully lost it and cursed like a deranged woman, “Xie Laogen, you’re a worthless wimp! You don’t know how to act when you see a woman! You old b*stard who sneaks into women’s pants! All you’re into is that sl*t’s cr*tch! You are divorcing me because I am old and can no longer satisfy you. Even if you leave me now, you will never get rid of your perverted trait!

It’s true that I am not a good woman. Then how come back in the day you didn’t step out when I fought against your mother and father? For my loins, you stayed silent. And now, for that widow’s, you are kicking me out! Haha, everyone, come over here and look at this shameless b*stard!”

Xie Laogen felt humiliated and didn’t want to see Lady Ruan anymore. He ordered Xie Daqiang and Xie Erzhu, “Take her away.”

Xie Daqiang pulled Lady Ruan away.

Inside the living room, Xie Yunjin spoke up, “Give the silver earrings and bracelets to her. And give her 10 taels of silver for the road.”

Though Xie Yunjin didn’t like his mother, he still wanted to fulfill his responsibilities.

As long as he did what he should do as her son, that was enough.

Honestly, when he plotted to get Widow Wang with his father, he did it to restrain his mother. He had no intention of causing separation between his parents. He also only got the idea because his own mother tried to shove him a concubine. He honestly didn’t understand why his mother was ok with his son having concubines but not ok with her husband having them. She was old now after all.

Xie Laogen was still at his peak madness given Lady Ruan’s speech and refused to give her anything.

“This is the Xie family’s silver, why should I give it to her.”

Xie Yunjin glared at Xie Laogen, “I said give it to her.”

If it wasn’t for the unreasonableness of Lady Ruan and the fact that having her around would eventually harm him, Xie Yunjin wouldn’t have allowed this divorce. However, he had learned that as long as Lady Ruan was around, he would never acquire a peaceful life. That was why he didn’t step in.

Xie Yunjin’s authoritative voice scared Xie Laogen. In the end, he did as he was told.

Lady Ruan glanced at all her children with her lips parted. Only at the end, did she look at her third son, whom she’s always hated.

She disliked this son of hers the most. Growing up, he never received the slightest love from her yet in the end, he helped her. The children she spoiled all her life didn’t even speak on her behalf.

Lady Ruan started to laugh. She laughed until her vision went dark and passed out. Xie Yunjin said to Xie Erzhu, “Send mother to our uncle’s home. Tell them to treat her well. We’ll visit sometime.”

Xie Yunjin intended to warn his uncle to not treat his mother too poorly.

Xie Erzhu answered, “I got it, third brother.”

After Lady Ruan was carried away, everyone complimented Xie Yunjin for his niceness and considerateness. Honestly, Lady Ruan never asked or cared about this son of hers. Yet in the end, only he helped her.

Just what was this?

Back in the living room, Xie Yunjin said to the villagers, “OK, we have some private matters to deal with now. Everyone, go home.”

The leaders were eager to leave. Once they got Xie Yunjin’s word, they gestured for their people to go home.

Everyone in the Xie family sat down. Xie Yunjin said to Xie Laogen, “Father, what do you plan on doing next? Without mother around, the family needs another woman to manage the house.”

Xie Laogen thought Xie Yunjin was hinting that Lu Jiao should be in charge and responded, “How about asking my third daughter-in-law?”

Lu Jiao rolled her eyes. How dumb did she have to be to get involved with this family?

Before Lu Jiao said anything, Xie Yunjin spoke up, “We’ve separated from the family. It shouldn’t be Lu Jiao who cares for this family.”

He then looked toward Chen Liu, who became instantly excited. She was going to be head of the house? That meant she got to manage all the silver?

Chen Liu enthusiastically looked over to Xie Yunjin.

Widow Wang quietly pulled on Xie Laogen’s sleeve. However, in front of his third son, Xie Laogen didn’t have to guts to ask for Widow Wang to be the head of the house.

Xie Yunjin said, “The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother to everyone. Without mother, eldest sister-in-law, you should manage this house.”

Chen Liu was ecstatic and shouted, “OK! I will do a great job!”

All that money was going to be hers!

The fourth brother, Xie Yunhua screamed, “I am okay with that! I just ask that when I get married, I get my fair share.”

Chen Liu instantly smiled, “Naturally. Fourth brother, do not worry.”
