"Brother, your wife hit me." Xu Xin covered his face, wailing loudly.

"From childhood to now, neither you nor mom have ever touched me, but this woman has swollen my face. Brother, make her kneel down and kowtow to apologize to both of us."

Xu Feng's expression was uncertain, as if hesitating.

Xu Xin became anxious, "Brother, she even hit you just now. If we don't address this today, you will have no status in this family in the future."

Xu Feng made up his mind, "Xue Ning, do as Xin Xin says. Otherwise, I will... divorce you."

I chuckled, "You want a divorce, great. This is my house. The three of you, get out now."

Xu Feng's pupils dilated, "Xue Ning, do you know what you're saying?"

I crossed my arms, staring at him.

"Your sister dared to lay a hand on me, her sister-in-law. It's only right to teach her a lesson. As a husband, if you don't stand up for your wife and even think of resorting to domestic violence, if you don't mention divorce, I will."

"It's too late today. Tomorrow morning, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and settle this."

Seeing my resolute attitude, Xu Feng was clearly taken aback and did a complete 180-degree turn in his demeanor.

"No, wife, are you really divorcing me over this trivial matter?"

He walked over, wanting to put his arm around me, but I pushed his hand away.

He seemed flustered, "In a family, how can there not be any conflicts? Xin Xin is young and lacks restraint in her words. You have always been sensible, don't argue with her."

"She's twenty-three, still young? Do I need to educate you that at eighteen, one is considered an adult and should take responsibility for their actions?"

"What she did was indeed too much." Xu Feng turned to his younger sister, "Xin Xin, why don't you apologize to your sister-in-law?"

"She hit me and now she wants me to apologize to her?" Xu Xin looked incredulous, "Brother, are you out of your mind?"

Xu Feng's face hardened, "Apologize quickly."

"No way, after how you treated me, I'm going to tell mom." Xu Xin went off crying and wailing.

Xu Feng continued to coax me, "Wife, I was a bit impulsive just now, please don't be angry."

"I am angry, very angry. That's why I need to go out for a walk and calm down."

I deliberately looked furious, grabbed my coat, and left.

No one noticed that I had placed a spare phone in the corner of the living room facing the sofa.

Five minutes later, I was sitting in the KFC across the street, monitoring the phone.
