652: Chapter 653 Sister Like Mother 70_1 652: Chapter 653 Sister Like Mother 70_1 Zhao i watched TV leisurely, occasionally glancing at Tian Zhiguo, who paced restlessly beside her, sotis staring at her.
She knew Tian Zhiguo hoped she would be the first to back down.
If it had been before, she certainly would have given Tian Zhiguo a bit of face.
But now she kept reassuring herself that everything was fake, that this man was only after the money and the house in her possession.
Seeing it was getting late, Zhao i finished the last bit of food and prepared to go to rest.
Tian Zhiguo, watching her prepare to leave, suddenly had an idea—to sweet-talk her until she lost sense of direction and then, the following matters would beco much easier to handle.
But reality was cruel; despite his utmost efforts to wait on Zhao i, appeasing her splendidly,
he failed to hear the words he wished for, “Xiaoi, you see, our son is about to get married and doesn’t have a matrimonial ho.
Originally…”
“That’s your son, and his marriage is your business.” Why should Huang Xin, who’s even younger, already be gone?
Tian Zhiguo’s son, a foolish kid, actually wants to use the hard-earned money of his own son to live a good life.
She didn’t even have to think about it; she would never let them succeed.
Otherwise, she couldn’t imagine how Huang Zhiqiang would let her off the hook once she was down.
“I’ve thought it over.
I have a two-bedroom apartnt under my na.
We’ll live in the city.”
“I provide the house, and you provide the living expenses.”
“You’ve always complained about not finding a suitable place when looking for work in the county.
Since that’s the case, let’s move to the city.”
“This house here, after all, belongs to the Tian family.
I don’t want it, so it’s just right for your son to decorate it for his marriage.”
Tian Zhiguo’s anger surged to a breaking point; he lost control and lashed out at Zhao i, having never seen such a heartless mother.
Zhao i, watching Tian Zhiguo’s outburst, coldly snorted a few tis in retort, “Yes, I am a heartless mother, a heartless woman.”
“What about it?
You allow yourselves to sche against , wanting to grab the money in my hands, and then you just chase away.”
“Why shouldn’t I find a way to protect my money?”
Zhao i, with her wallet bulging, wasn’t going to allow Tian Zhiguo to throw a fit in front of her.
She stood up unapologetically, “I’ll just leave then.”
“Hmph, you really think you can control .” Zhao i couldn’t bear it anymore and went straight to the room to fetch her luggage and leave.
After venting, Tian Zhiguo felt much better, but when he ca to his senses and realized Zhao i intended to leave, it scared him terribly.
All sorts of pleading on his knees, all sorts of oaths; in a word, he absolutely refused to break up with Zhao i.
Zhao i looked at the teary, sniveling Tian Zhiguo in front of her without a shred of pity.
“If you don’t want to leave, then behave yourself.”
“Stop talking about the house all the ti.
I don’t owe you, and I especially don’t owe your son.”
“And I’ve decided, I don’t want to live in the city anymore.” Zhao i had considered living in the city, but when she thought about the expenses there, she gave up the idea.
“You’ll co live with at the Huang family,”
“Leave this house to your son and daughter.” Zhao i thought of the expressions of Tian Zhiguo’s children, and it infuriated her.
“Without my permission, they’re not allowed to co over.”
“Also, the money you earn, you can spend on them.
But rember, we’re not legally married.
If you spend all your money on them, I won’t take care of you when you fall ill in the future.”
“Don’t even think about forcing to give you money by using so-called public opinion.”
“If you have money, get treatnt; if not, wait for death.
I can be ruthless with my husband and my son, let alone you.”
Zhao i recalled Huang Man’s arrogant deanor; despite her outright rudeness, no one could do anything about her.
Zhao i felt that this was the role model she needed to learn from—to deal with people like Tian Zhiguo, she needed to be more assertive.
Tian Zhiguo had not expected that Zhao i, who had been so easy to manipulate, would now beco resistant to both persuasion and force.
“I, I won’t go to the Huang family; I, I am also married into this family,” he said, caring about his dignity.
Not married into this family?
“If you’re not married into this family, then all the plotting for my money, for your son’s wedding house and such, you expect to pay for it.”
“Whenever sothing happens in your family, you expect to fork over the cash.
Am I supposed to support you?” Zhao i ca across a new term, “You’re just a kept man, a freeloader.”
“In any case, I’ve made up my mind.
If you’re unwilling, that’s fine too.”
“That’s your prerogative.” Zhao i felt that if Tian Zhiguo followed her, it would be fine, and if he didn’t want to, it would not matter.
She would just find another man when the ti cos.
As long as she ntions she has money, she needn’t worry about these things at all.
Zhao i, carrying her belongings, was about to leave when Tian Zhiguo grabbed her, “It’s so late, where are you going?”
“If I don’t go, and stay here, I’m afraid sothing will happen to .”
Zhao i glanced around at the siblings, who, initially having returned to their rooms, now ca out at the noise, “Each of you is a sight for sore eyes.”
“All day with a long face, no money but still wanting to get married, dreaming!” Before, Zhao i thought about marrying Tian Zhiguo and relying on them for her old age.
Now she had completely abandoned that idea, and of course, she no longer treated them kindly.
Tian Zhiguo’s children, always enjoying Zhao i’s kindness, were naturally angry to see her turn against them.
But they knew the situation had changed; before, Zhao i would mollify them, but now she was outright confrontational.
“Dad, why don’t you just go with auntie.” Tian Zhiguo’s son knew that once Zhao i broke up with the old man, finding another relationship wouldn’t be too difficult.
For Tian Zhiguo to find a wife, the difficulty would be extraordinary.
After thinking for a while, his son made this choice.
Now, even if Zhao i was angry with them, it didn’t matter; he believed that as long as they behaved well, Zhao i would trust them again.
Tian Zhiguo was surprised to look at his son, who he had expected would help cajole Zhao i.
Instead, to his astonishnt, his son ca out with such a suggestion, catching Tian Zhiguo completely off guard.
He looked at his son dumbfounded, and the latter pulled him aside to whisper.
After listening to his son’s advice, Tian Zhiguo looked at him with a sad face, “Son, do you realize that if I go with her, I’ll lose my dignity.”
Tian Zhiguo’s son said impatiently, “Dad, why do you always bring up dignity?”
“Is dignity really that important to you?”
“It’s a big deal that your son can’t get married.” Tian Zhiguo’s son glared at him resentfully.
“It’s all because you are not capable.
At least others can prepare everything for their children, but look at you.”
“Useless.” Tian Zhiguo’s son couldn’t hold back any longer and let out all the complaints he had about his father.
Tian Zhiguo knew his son was dissatisfied with him, but he had never imagined he would be considered useless.
