Capítulo 2026: Chapter 2027: Old Mrs. Zhang’s Rebirth at 70—Reforming the Ungrateful Children 58

Gao Zhen tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, knowing that his brother’s plan to sell Wei Xuan’s job was a bit too much.

But he thought that a little coaxing would appease Wei Xuan, after all, once his brothers got promoted, their salaries would increase, and then he wouldn’t need to submit all of his salary; he could give part of it to her.

Moreover, Wei Xuan had already fallen out with the Wei Family. A woman without her maternal family should hold tight to her in-laws, right? Who’d have thought she’d propose divorce.

This made Gao Zhen really anxious, even though his parents and brothers all said that won can’t be spoiled, and that Wei Xuan wouldn’t dare divorce, Gao Zhen wasn’t willing to risk it.

If Wei Xuan left him, though she’d be a divorced woman subject to judgnt, she had the biggest issue with her family — the Wei Family’s dissatisfaction with him, knowing that Wei Xuan divorcing him ant she could return to the Wei Family anyti.

With a job and the Wei Family backing her, wouldn’t Wei Xuan easily remarry? Not necessarily finding soone who’s much better off, but certainly soone better than him.

As for him, upon divorce, given his family’s situation and the fact that he’d be bringing two sons, remarrying would be imnsely difficult.

He might find another divorced woman, but her conditions couldn’t compare to Wei Xuan’s.

Gao Zhen truly couldn’t sleep and had no choice but to get up, wanting to clear his mind outside.

As he walked to the living room, just as he was about to step outside for so air, he heard noises from his brothers’ room.

Thinking sothing might’ve happened today preventing his brothers from sleeping, he decided not to go out and stayed inside thinking.

Unexpectedly, he heard them discussing Wei Xuan’s na, and his heart moved, softly approaching their door to eavesdrop.

He wasn’t unaware that his brothers were jealous of him, considering he married a wife far superior to his sisters-in-law, and the fact that they were plotting against them.

Brother: Wife, do you think the third brother’s wife can actually go through with a divorce after today’s commotion?

Sister-in-law: Divorce is necessary. Hmph, if not divorce, her job must be sold.

Sister-in-law: And if there’s money, you’re the eldest son, you should get more. We can’t let the second brother get as much as you.

Brother: I know, that’s for sure. With this money, we can see if we can buy you a position.

Sister-in-law: Actually, if we weren’t worried about the third brother causing a fuss, I’d directly take over Wei Xuan’s job.

Brother: Hmph, if Wei Xuan disagrees on selling her job, let them divorce.

Brother: I doubt Gao Zhen can find a better wife while raising two children.

Sister-in-law: Yes, exactly. Hmph, they dare to think they’re better than us; it’s too much.

Sister-in-law: No, I’ve decided. We can’t let him successfully remarry; what if he finds a strong-willed wife? After all, he already has sons, there’s no need for him to remarry.

Sister-in-law: By then, all his work should be handed over; household chores should be done by his two sons. Hmph, we don’t support freeloaders.

Brother: Right, darling, you’re exactly right, that’s how it should be.

Gao Zhen didn’t expect his brothers to be so malicious. After all, every ti he complained that Wei Xuan was unreasonable, it was his brother who advised him to properly live with Wei Xuan.

How could his brother be so dissatisfied with him privately? If he hadn’t heard it personally, he wouldn’t have believed it.

If the brother is like this, what about the second brother? With this thought, Gao Zhen walked hopefully to the second brother’s room.

Though he changed his eavesdropping target, the content of their conversations were similar — all were plotting against the couple’s money and Wei Xuan’s job, hoping he wouldn’t remarry post-divorce.

Leaving the second brother’s door, Gao Zhen tiptoed to his parents’ room, curious if they were discussing anything.

Unexpectedly, his parents weren’t resting and were discussing matters. Hearing the conversation from their room, Gao Zhen felt unsteady.

Gao Zhen was truly shocked — how could it be like this? He clearly gave everything for the family. If not for considering the family’s financial situation, his brothers’ low salaries, and his sisters-in-law’s unemploynt, he wouldn’t have submitted all his salary, nor forced Wei Xuan to occasionally give money to buy household items.

Turns out he was the fool, the only one submitting salary; his brothers’ salaries were returned to them by night.

Why was the family’s finance so tight? It was because household expenses were paid with his salary, including the family’s als and Mrs. Gao’s dical bills. Naturally, the finances were strained.

His brothers scheming against him because they were married, he could understand sowhat, but his substantial contributions to his parents?

Even Mrs. Gao chatted with him at night, saying that due to her weak health, he was forced to marry Wei Xuan, a wife with a bad temper, touching him, saying she rembered his contributions.

But his contributions beca foolishness in Mrs. Gao’s eyes, claiming that if he truly cared for the family, he should submit all their money, and regularly seek favors from the Wei Family.

Gao Zhen didn’t know how he returned to his room; he felt dizzy, unaware of anything.

Adding to his despair, despite him qualifying for high school and the family having money, they refused to spend it, instead settling his brother’s gambling debts.

Gao Zhen thought his contributions to the family turned out foolish; the family mocked him, believing his contributions insufficient.

“What to do.” Gao Zhen knew he absolutely couldn’t divorce Wei Xuan, otherwise he’d completely subsidize the Gao Family; not only him but his sons would follow the sa path.

No, he could be ruined, but his sons should have it better.

“Cannot divorce, absolutely cannot,” Gao Zhen resolved, “Split the family, family must be split.”

Previously, he thought splitting the family would make Mrs. Gao a tough presence, his brothers unable to bear dical costs; now, knowing her illness wasn’t severe, he refused to tolerate.

Regarding Mrs. Gao’s dical costs, let hospital bills divide among three brothers; with this thought, Gao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, resting, now needing good rest before finding his wife.

He wanted Wei Xuan to know he didn’t want divorce; they should live well without the Gao Family burden, they’d fare well.

Then, they’d visit the Wei Family to discuss their divorce.

Worried the family might react angrily, not allowing them to stay, since Wei He moved out, his vacant house could temporarily accommodate their family of four until they find a new place.
