The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 152 Falling apart

But the old lady's heart had completely turned cold. "I don't want to listen to your explanation anymore. This kind of harm is unforgivable."

She turned to Song Lao Er and said firmly, "Listen, divorce her and send her back to her parents' home!"

Song Laoer's face turned pale. He looked at his wife kneeling on the ground and crying, and his crying children, and his heart was broken.

"Old lady..." His voice was choked with sobs, "But she is my wife, she is the mother of my children..."

"I know!" The old lady's voice was cold and ruthless, "But what she has done is intolerable to us. We cannot leave this scourge behind."

The cries of Aunt Song and the children filled the room, but the old lady's heart had been made up, and she would not change her decision.

However, Aunt Song was unwilling to leave.

Being divorced will bring a bad reputation. Who would want to be sent back to her parents' home?

However, if she was not divorced, the Song family would have to split up, but the old lady was unwilling to do so.

If the family splits up, Song Laoer has no skills and his eldest brother can't make money to take care of him, how will he survive in the future?

The old lady was overwhelmed with grief and burst into tears.

The eldest son's wife was unwilling to do so, and said, "I have taken care of the second son's family over the years, and the relationship is enough. Moreover, every time the second son's family got into trouble, I was the one who solved it. I spent money and effort, but in the end, isn't it a thankless task? I don't owe them anything, so why can't we split the family? Should he eat and drink my food?"

"Mom, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're really biased towards the second son's family. My son almost didn't go to school. No matter what you said, I didn't interrupt you. But what did I get in return for all these years of tolerance? I was framed again and again. The second son's wife targeted me and didn't want anything good for our family!"

Indeed, the second son knew all the things Aunt Song said and did. Didn't the couple have an agreement about it? The second son also indulged his wife.

It's time to split up the family, but the second brother's family are all vampires, so they definitely don't want to split up.

The eldest brother's wife cried and looked up at the sky again: "Second brother, you don't want to divorce me, and you don't want to separate from us. I know what you are thinking."

"But if you don't make a choice, I will report you to the police today. You have killed my son. My son Yunfeng is now a scholar. You murdered a scholar and you should be arrested and put in jail!"

"Even if she doesn't have to go to jail, she'll have to get a few beatings. Your little daughter will soon be old enough to get married. With such a reputation, I don't know if she'll be able to find a husband in the future."

It sounded like the eldest brother's wife was threatening them, but there was nothing they could do.

When Aunt Song heard this, her expression changed immediately.

"Sister-in-law, are you really going to be so cruel to us?"

Aunt Song burst into tears, she felt she was in an inescapable dilemma. Being forced to choose a divorce would mean she would lose the dignity and status of her marriage, and her reputation would be ruined in front of people; if she insisted on not getting a divorce, the Song family would inevitably fall apart, and her and her children's future would be uncertain.

Faced with the old lady's determination and the threats from her eldest sister-in-law, Second Aunt Song felt like sitting on pins and needles. Her heart was torn, and her mind told her to protect the future of herself and her children, but emotionally she was unwilling to give up this marriage and let her children lose a complete family.

Song Laoer's mood was also very complicated. He didn't want to hurt his wife, but he couldn't resist the pressure from his family. He knew that what the eldest sister-in-law said was true. If the matter was brought to the government, it would be a shame for the family and would ruin the future of their children. But he also knew that if he gave up his wife, it would be an irreparable loss to the family.

The two sides are deadlocked in this family crisis, and each side has its own insistence and concerns.

The old lady had tears in her eyes, but she insisted on her position and was unwilling to give up protecting her grandson; although the eldest sister-in-law spoke in a tough tone, her heart was also full of grievances and helplessness; and Song Lao Er and Song Ershen were caught between family and personal emotions, and were in a dilemma.

The whole house was filled with a heavy atmosphere, as if time had frozen at this moment. No one was willing to compromise, and everyone was working hard for their own interests and dignity. The outcome of this family conflict seemed to be doomed, but the psychological struggle and wrangling between the two sides continued.

When the heavy silence in the air seemed to make everyone unable to breathe, the old lady suddenly sighed deeply. A sad smile appeared on her face, and she said slowly: "Second Aunt, Second Brother, we have seen the ups and downs of this family over the years. I don't want to see the family go their separate ways, but I can't let the situation deteriorate and delay your and the children's future."

These words eased the atmosphere in the room a little. Aunt Song raised her tearful eyes and said with a trembling voice, "Mother, you are the elder in the family. You have the final say and we will all listen to you."

The old lady shook her head and continued slowly: "This family is no longer something I can support alone. Children, do you understand? Our family has endured too many ups and downs over the years, and I also understand your difficulties."

Song Lao Er lowered his head and remained silent. Although the eldest sister-in-law had the same expression, the sharpness in her eyes had faded a little. She sighed softly and said slowly, "Mother-in-law is right. Although we all have our own difficulties, we can't always drag down the entire family."

The old lady's eyes were filled with tears, but her smile was somewhat bitter. "If we continue like this, we will only sink deeper and deeper, and the road ahead will become increasingly difficult. I don't want to see your family fall apart, but the reality is before us. If we don't separate, we will be even more helpless in the future."

In this atmosphere, after some communication, Song Laoer gradually understood the old lady's intention.

Eventually, the old lady and the eldest sister-in-law stopped being stubborn and expressed their willingness to discuss the division of the family property.

With the joint efforts of the family, they began to negotiate on issues such as arrangements and support after the separation, hoping that the family could still live in harmony after the separation and not damage the harmony because of this incident.

Although the conversation about splitting up the family is difficult, it is also a necessary step for this family.

When they learn to put aside their personal emotions and take responsibility for the future of the entire family and their children, they slowly usher in a new starting point.

The next day, the Song family called all the village heads and prepared to divide the family.

At this point, there is no room for recovery.

Although the old lady didn't want to divide the family and always wanted to favor her second son, there was nothing she could do now.

What Second Aunt Song did was unbearable. The eldest son's wife had caught her and was bound to divide the family property.
