On the day I accompanied my father for a follow-up check, I ran into Zhang Yanyan, whom I hadn't seen in days at the hospital.
She looked extremely pale, clutching her lower abdomen tightly, with beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.
"Ouch, it hurts so much! Why is my stomach hurting like this?"
Han Yuhao was anxiously pacing up and down the hallway, carrying a large bag of belongings.
His wife, however, sat calmly nearby playing on her phone, her face showing complete indifference.
"I said, can't you help me find the ward? I'm running around here and I'm about to collapse!"
"This is your mother, not mine. If you're tired, hire a nurse or caregiver. I have my own things to deal with."
"Now that we're married, everything should revolve around me. I can't believe you’re someone who’s been married before and still doesn’t understand this basic principle!"
"What do you mean? I married you, not sold myself to you. I can do whatever I want. If you can't handle it, then divorce me!"
"Divorce? That's all you can think about! Who was it that desperately wanted to marry me back then? What kind of madness is this now?"
"I was blind back then; now I've seen clearly. You're just an incompetent mama's boy who only knows how to listen to your mother!"
The argument between Han Yuhao and his wife grew louder, drawing a crowd of onlookers in the hospital corridor.
Han Yuhao, proud and concerned about his image, couldn't stand being publicly humiliated like this and slapped his wife twice.
His wife wasn't one to back down either; she retaliated with three slaps and kicked him hard in the groin.
The two quickly got into a physical fight. Although Zhang Yanyan wanted to intervene, she felt too weak and collapsed onto the ground, unable to stop sighing.
Neither my father nor I are good people. I was originally prepared to turn and leave, but at that moment, I heard my name.
"People online are right, you don't love me at all; you're just a scammer for bride price!"
"In your eyes, any woman who wants a bride price is a scammer. Even Xia An'an, who you dated for five years, you call a scammer. I really don't know what kind of woman can tolerate you!"
As soon as my name was mentioned, Han Yuhao became even more agitated and grabbed her neck tightly.
More and more onlookers gathered, frightened by Han Yuhao's fierce demeanor, and they began to urge him to stop.
"A couple can argue, but don't resort to violence! Men should be more tolerant of women."
"Exactly! Hitting your wife is not what a man does; I truly look down on you."
"Stop it! That girl is about to suffocate. If you don't let go, I'm calling the police."
But the more they urged him, the fiercer Han Yuhao's expression became, so much so that even his mother started to intervene.
Watching this scene reminded me of the moment at the Engagement Banquet when he rolled up his sleeves and slapped me in the face.
Fortunately, I didn't marry someone like him.
Four or five security guards rushed over to break up the fight, finally separating the two and ending this farce.
Han Yuhao gradually calmed down, while his wife simply said "divorce" before turning to leave.
Just as my father and I were about to get up, we suddenly heard someone shout: "In-Law! In-Law!"
I turned my head to see Zhang Yanyan running towards us like she had found a savior.
My father immediately changed his expression: "Who are you calling In-Law? I wouldn't dare associate with someone like you!"
"Hey, In-Law, don't be angry. I genuinely care for you. That Hu Xiaoli can't compare to our daughter."
"Stop bringing your son into this. Besides, your son is already married; why are you saying these things?"
"My wife is just a scammer for bride price. This is her third marriage, and I truly regret it now."
"Now that I think about it, An An is the best. As long as An An is willing, I'll have Yuhai divorce that worthless woman immediately."
I suppressed my disgust and quickly took over the conversation: "But I remember you said Han Yuhao and Hu Xiaoli were a perfect match, a couple made in heaven."
Zhang Yanyan's expression instantly turned anxious: "Nonsense, that's not true. Clearly, you and Yuhai are a better match."
"So you want me to get back together with Yuhai?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Once Yuhai is divorced, the bride price owed to you will be paid in full. We're still In-Law; let's clear up the misunderstandings from before."
"It's just that my daughter and I sold our house to pay for medical bills, so we have no place to stay. Your apartment was just renovated, so we can consider it free formaldehyde exposure."
I see now, I see now.
I thought to myself why this old woman suddenly became so warm towards us.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud, staring directly at her and saying word by word: "Auntie, you really have no shame."
