Chapter 389 Tian Tian Demands a Divorce Through Beatings

In the pouring rain, Zhang Yuan was dragged by Gong Wenliang, who didn't let go even when Gong Wenxing blocked their path.

"Wenliang, it's not a big deal, is it? Your wife isn't listening. We can find a better one later. Think about the children, think about our parents."

Gong Wenliang wouldn't listen. His life had been too much of a failure. Because of this woman, even his parents had abandoned him. As for those two useless-looking children, what hope did he have left? What strength did he have to toil in the fields to support the three of them?

"Big Brother, I want to see Mom and Dad one last time. Those two children are also beyond saving. Just abandon them when we're gone."

Gong Wenxing was furious. Was that something a person would say? Preparing to die with his wife and intending to abandon his children as well.

"Gong Wenliang, you're a coward. You're not worthy of being a son, not worthy of being a father, and certainly not worthy of being human. When you encounter problems, instead of trying to solve them, you think of escaping. What kind of person are you? You've disgraced the Gong family completely.

Even if you saw Mom and Dad, it would only make them sad. Do you want them to send their son to the grave before they die? Have you considered whether they can bear the blow of losing you? Are you trying to kill them?"

Gong Wenliang quickly shook his head. Although he was the least favored among the three brothers, he knew his parents loved him.

"No, I don't want to break Mom and Dad's hearts again."

Gong Wenxing wiped the rain from his face and took his second brother's hand.

"That's right. Mom and Dad think you haven't managed your own household well. You'll manage it properly from now on. If your wife isn't good, we'll replace her. If the children are spoiled, we'll discipline them. As long as you're willing, you can definitely do it.

And think about what time it is. Natural disasters! We're all about to starve to death. Is there anything more important than starving to death?"

Zhang Yuan had already been beaten senseless and was also terrified by Gong Wenliang's madness. She felt his grip loosen slightly and quickly broke free.

"Gong Wenliang, you lunatic, don't drag me down if you want to die. I want a divorce from you."

"Fine, divorce immediately. You didn't get married officially anyway. Let's go find the village head, the party secretary, and the clan elder to get the divorce done now."

It wasn't Gong Wenxing's place as an elder brother-in-law to speak, but he couldn't let this woman continue to ruin his second brother. Perhaps after a divorce, things would get better.

Gong Wenliang looked at Zhang Yuan and felt like he had eaten shit before. Now, he could wash himself clean in the heavy rain.

"Let's go, divorce now. I'll only give you three catties of grain. Take your grain and leave immediately."

"You're talking nonsense! I'm only worth three catties of grain? I even bore you two sons!"

Gong Wenliang was disgusted by his sons' selfishness, just like Zhang Yuan. They wouldn't be reliable even when they grew up.

"You can take them. I'll give you ten catties of grain."

Gong Wenxing quickly tugged at his second brother. How could he not want his own children?

"I don't want the children. Give me all the grain you have now, and I'll agree to the divorce."

Gong Wenliang was no longer the pushover he used to be. If he didn't care about anything, what could threaten him?

Gong Wenliang took two strides forward, grabbed Zhang Yuan, and slapped her hard across the face.

"Do you think you have the right to negotiate? I'll beat you every day until you divorce me. Let's see how long you can last."

"Ouch! I'll fight you to the death!"

Gong Wenxing didn't stop him. In his eyes, Zhang Yuan deserved to be beaten long ago, and it should be a severe beating.

At this moment, Wang Qing and the other two also walked over. Seeing the miserable state of the village head's daughter-in-law, they were so scared that they didn't even stop and ran faster than anyone.

"I'll divorce! I'll divorce right now!"

"Three catties."

"Fine, I agree. Stop hitting me."

When a man gets ruthless, he shows no mercy. Zhang Yuan's hatred was washed away by the rain.

"Alright, second brother, take Zhang Yuan back."

Gong Wenliang stopped. At the same time, he felt a sense of relief, as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He would never touch a woman again in his life and would quietly live with his children.

The village head, hearing his cousin's decision, didn't even ask for Zhang Yuan's opinion. He directly took people to find the party secretary and whispered a few words before speaking.

"Zhang Yuan, Gong Wenliang wants to divorce you. Do you agree?"

He had to ask clearly. With so many villagers watching, he couldn't let his cousin bear any ill repute.

Zhang Yuan looked at her two sons sitting not far away, hoping they would stop her. Normally, she would have divorced and remarried. But what time was it now? It was a year of famine. Even thirty catties of grain wouldn't be enough to eat.

To her disappointment, her two sons didn't even look up at her. She had truly raised them in vain.

Since that was the case, she could only consider herself.

"I agree to the divorce, but I want thirty catties of grain."

"No, the family only has seventeen catties of grain in total."

Gong Wenliang was now calm. All he wanted was to divorce quickly and then go to his parents to atone.

"You're lying. Mom and Dad left you grain when they left."

"As you said, that was left by Mom and Dad for me. Besides, I'm too ashamed to take it. I gave it all to my eldest brother."

Gong Aidang would not let this woman continue to drain his cousin's blood, especially with two children to raise.

"Seventeen catties of grain. Wenliang will take five catties, and the children and you will each get four catties. This is how it will be divided. Zhang Yuan, you should consider that you haven't earned a single grain of this."

The villagers present had all sorts of opinions, but Gong Wenliang's usual honest and capable image was deeply ingrained. They all knew that Zhang Yuan was one of the rare wives in the village who didn't work in the fields.

Although divorcing during a disaster was a bit excessive, it was because Zhang Yuan had pushed the honest man to his limit, otherwise, Gong Wenliang would never have said these words.

"No, four catties of grain are not enough for me to eat. If you want a divorce, give me all seventeen catties."

This time, Zhang Yuan incurred public outrage. She was a wicked woman who was cruel and inhumane, not leaving any grain for the children. Was she trying to starve them to death?

Gong Wenliang wanted to step forward and continue hitting her, but Gong Aidang stopped him.

The accusations from the crowd grew louder. Gong Aidang didn't stop them, letting the situation escalate.

"Hmph, the Gong family is not a place for you, a woman, to make decisions."

The aged voice brought immediate silence to the cave. Gong Aidang turned around and quickly stepped forward to support the newcomer.

"Old Clan Elder, you're here. Aren't you getting wet?"

The Old Clan Elder was the most senior person in the Gong family. He rarely interfered in village affairs, only appearing when something major happened. However, his words carried immense weight among the Gong clan members.

The Old Clan Elder walked up to Gong Wenliang and, without saying a word, slapped him.

"Useless wretch! You've disgraced the Gong family completely. You can't even manage this kind of woman, what else can you do!"

Gong Wenliang just lowered his head and listened. He didn't feel ashamed; this was all his own doing.
