She would just take however much she could earn. At this, his ‘true love’ finally reacted.
“I know that you mother and son despise me and my son for bumming around at home. But Fang Shiyou, do you remember how you coaxed me when you were still chasing me? Do you remember what you promised me? I always felt that I should never believe whatever men say but that you were different. Now, I know that I was too young and innocent. All men are the same. Men’s words cannot be trusted. You don’t love me anymore. You think I’m a burden to you. You feel that I’m an old hag now that I’ve given birth to your son. Since you don’t treasure me like how you did in the past and have forgotten about our relationship in the past, then I won’t bum around in your house anymore and degrade myself.”
With such accusations from his ‘true love’, Fang Shiyou’s face flushed red. When he was chasing her, he had indeed said that he was capable of letting her stay at home without working once they got together. He would let her rest easy at home, while he would be responsible for earning enough to support the family. As for her, she would be responsible for keeping up her beautiful appearance.
Unfortunately, he could not fulfill a single promise that he had made to her and had even asked her to find a job. At this, even Fang Shiyou felt a little shameful. Even so, Fang Shiyou gritted his teeth and did not change his mind. Through his silent attitude, he wanted to tell his ‘true love’ that there was no room for discussion about her going to find a job if they wanted to survive.
Seeing Fang Shiyou’s attitude, his ‘true love’ could not help but sneer. This was the last chance that she had given to her and Fang Shiyou. Since Fang Shiyou was treating her with such an attitude, neither was she going to be polite anymore. “Since you’re talking about this, I don’t think I have to be polite anymore. Since you can’t keep your promises to me, then there’s no point in us continuing our relationship together. Fang Shiyou, let’s get a divorce. I’ll take our son.”
Initially, Fang Shiyou had told her that he had a huge house within the Third Ring neighborhood. But now, it was just a house of barely more than eighty square meters near the Fifth Ring. Where was the hundred-square-meter house that he had promised? Even so, she had not argued with Fang Shiyou and was still willing to get married to him. But now, Fang Shiyou’s behavior was simply too disappointing.
Divorce!
Since she was not going to have anything if she stayed with Fang Shiyou, why would she bury herself alive in this grave along with Fang Shiyou?
“What did you say?” Both Fang Shiyou and Mother Fang were flabbergasted. “What did you say? I… I didn’t catch you.”
“I said I want to get a divorce. I’ll take our son. Don’t you guys despise my son for spending too much and using expensive things? That’s all right. When Fang Shiyou gets divorced from me, I don’t need you to support my son. I’ll raise him myself. That’ll be my own business and nothing to do with you. When that time comes, you mother and son can spend Fang Shiyou’s salary on whatever you like. In short, I won’t touch a single cent of yours.” His ‘true love’ spoke with a resolute tone, holding her child’s hand even more tightly.
Fang Shiyou took a deep breath. “Are you crazy? If you get divorced from me, where can you go? You should know that this house has nothing to do with you! You aren’t even Xu Shengnan! I paid for the entire down payment of this house. We haven’t even been together for a long time. We got married less than a year ago, and you’ve never made a single cent of contribution toward the mortgage of this house. If you think that you’ll get half of this house when we get divorced, like Xu Shengnan, I think you’d better think again.”
If she really angered him, he would bite the bullet and really get a divorce from her.
His ‘true love’ was entirely different from Xu Shengnan. Xu Shengnan had requested for a divorce because he had wronged Xu Shengnan. It was totally understandable that Xu Shengnan would get angry at him and make such a decision.
But as for his ‘true love’? He had thrown away such a good wife for the sake of his ‘true love’. And because of this matter, he had not even seen his daughter, Ling Ling, in a long while. So, what rights or reasons did his ‘true love’ have to request for a divorce from him? Did she feel that threatening him like that would make him give in and allow her to continue bumming around at home?
Impossible!
His ‘true love’ snorted. “Don’t worry. I’m perfectly clear about how Xu Shengnan got divorced from you. I’m indeed not as capable as Xu Shengnan to plot against the two of you. But no matter how capable Xu Shengnan was, didn’t you still abandon her without any care? No wonder you two don’t like me now. I’m serious about getting a divorce. Let’s get it done immediately. It’s not the weekend today and I’m sure the officials are still working now. The sooner we get divorced, the sooner the matter will end. I’ll bring our son with me. Then, there’ll be one less mouth to feed in this household. That’ll lessen your burden.”
“Stop messing around!” Fang Shiyou tugged on her hand. “If you go on with this nonsense, I might just treat this seriously. Our son is sleeping so well. Hurry and put him back in the room. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll scare him into crying with your loud voice?”
“Divorce. Quickly. I’ll go first. Hurry and follow behind. I’m really going.” His ‘true love’ held her son’s hand, not letting Fang Shiyou touch him.
With that, his ‘true love’ walked ahead of Fang Shiyou, really intending to get a divorce.
Witnessing this situation, Mother Fang was infuriated. “Just look at this! What kind of thing have you married? She’s worlds apart from Xu Shengnan! She knows she can’t compare to Xu Shengnan, but she’s still so brazen! I’ve never even seen Xu Shengnan act so brazenly after marrying into our family for more than ten years. She’s going to be the death of me! Shiyou, your taste in women is really bad!”
Fang Shiyou was utterly confused. “Mom, do you think she’s serious about getting a divorce, or do you think she’s just threatening me so that she can stay at home and not need to find a job?”
“Of course she’s just scaring you. She even has a son with you. What other paths will she be able to take if she gets a divorce from you? She’s not Xu Shengnan. Xu Shengnan can rely on herself and can probably make a better life for herself without a man. Just take a look at her. I’m afraid she might starve to death without a man at her side.” Mother Fang truly hated her new daughter-in-law. “Just go along with her. Let’s see who’ll get the last laugh.”
With Mother Fang’s encouragement, Fang Shiyou helplessly left the house.
When Fang Shiyou arrived downstairs, his ‘true love’ had already hailed a cab and was waiting for Fang Shiyou. Mother Fang remained upstairs and looked on at the couple below in glee. Did they really think she was an old foggy whose brain no longer functioned? Divorce? How would they get a divorce with no documents with them?
As for this, Mother Fang specially watched the car leave before summarizing the situation into a short text to Fang Shiyou. Upon seeing Mother Fang’s text, the initially uneasy Fang Shiyou started to relax. That’s right. If they wanted to get a divorce, they would have to alter their marriage certificate into a divorce certificate. They had not even brought anything along. How would they get a divorce?
