When Zhou Xiaonian saw the look in his father's and uncle's eyes, he knew this was bad. Although he was furious with his wife for causing trouble, an old saying goes that a single day as husband and wife warrants a hundred days of grace. They had been married for several years, and their child was already two. 'How can we just divorce her at the drop of a hat?'
He braced himself and said to Li Gengtian, "Uncle Li, everything requires evidence. We can't just definitively say my wife did this…"
"Shut up!" Zhou Baozhu roared, cutting him off before he could finish.
Of course he knew what his son was thinking. 'But so what if there's no evidence?' he thought. 'Even if this investigation goes nowhere and we have to let it go, everyone will know Xiaonian's wife was the one who did it. Do you think you'll have an easy time after that? They might not be able to punish you openly, but they can certainly curse you behind your back!'
