Chapter 110 Mom wants us to starve to death
Deng Xiuzhen ignored Wen Xin and Wen Yu's little tricks and quietly packed her belongings. Regardless of whether she could get a divorce tomorrow, she would move out.
Before the divorce, she couldn't buy a house, but she could move into Zhao Shuliang's house.
Zhao Shuliang has already given her the house. Although the paperwork hasn't been completed, it's only a matter of time before she moves in and no one will say anything. To others, she can just say it's rented, and no one will care or interfere.
"Mom, are you really sure?" Wenjing sat down next to Deng Xiuzhen and whispered.
"Hmm," Deng Xiuzhen replied, then looked up and asked Wenjing, "After the divorce, you'll suffer with Mom. Are you really prepared?"
"I'm ready. The college entrance exam is in just over ten days. After the exam, I'll work a summer job to try and earn my tuition. There are work-study programs in college, so I can support myself. Mom, you can rely on yourself for the next few years. Once I graduate from college, I'll be able to support you." Wenjing gently explained her plans.
Deng Xiuzhen gently hugged Wenjing without saying anything.
After leaving the house, Qin Yanlin didn't know where to go, so he called two friends to go out for drinks. As the drinks flowed, he naturally started talking about his troubles: his wife wanted a divorce, even if it meant leaving with nothing, because she suspected he was having an affair.
After hearing what Qin Yanlin said, Xu Gang punched him and said, "Your wife wants a divorce? What's the big deal? Why are you so worried? Look at you, so pathetic! I'm worried about you!"
Ma Liang leaned closer and asked, "You didn't just give up without any explanation, did you? That would be so pathetic!"
"Who said there isn't?" Qin Yanlin wasn't about to lose face, and quickly retorted.
"Is that your little secretary?" Xu Gang grinned lewdly.
"Could it be that the secretary is forcing her out or the wife is causing trouble?" Ma Liang asked.
"It's not about the wife. It's not hard for a grown man to find a wife. The key is the three children. If we get divorced, it won't be good for the children." Being bullied, Qin Yanlin had to find a reasonable excuse.
"There's no need to worry about the kids. Your child is good at studying and sensible, and has a good father like you. They'll have a bright future ahead of them. Parents' divorce really doesn't affect the children. Look at my kid, he's much more lively with Xiao Ling than with his mother," Xu Gang said nonchalantly about his child and his stepmother.
"I..." Qin Yanlin didn't know what to say. How could he say that he didn't want a divorce? That would be too embarrassing.
“Yanlin, let me tell you, the more you agonize over this, the more your wife will take advantage of you and make herself at your feet. A man needs to stand up straight, understand?” Ma Liang shrugged, looking at him with disapproval, and continued:
"You! You! You're just too honest, you don't know how to handle women at all!"
If she wants a divorce, then you should. Women like your wife, who want nothing and leave with nothing, are foolish women who have never suffered and think they're so capable.
Let her try it herself. When she runs out of money and can't make a living outside, she'll naturally remember the good days when she had money, and she'll naturally come begging to you.
"Won't you make her cry and she won't dare laugh, you make her step with her right foot and she won't dare move her left foot?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanlin thought, "Hmm, that makes sense!"
Deng Xiuzhen had nothing—no money, no house, not even a way to make money. In the end, she had no choice but to work odd jobs.
If I secretly do something bad to make her unable to do her job well, wouldn't she remember the days when she did nothing at home?
Then I can tell her how much money I'll give her each month, and she'll happily accept it, won't she?
Having made up his mind, Qin Yanlin happily ate and drank, and chatted merrily.
......
The next morning, as soon as Qin Yanlin arrived at the company, Tian Yutong told him: the children called and told him to come home immediately, or something terrible would happen!
Qin Yanlin hurriedly pulled out his mobile phone, only to find it was out of power. He wanted to make a call home, but worried that his children wouldn't be able to answer. Not knowing what serious had happened, he rushed home in a panic.
Tian Yutong stared blankly at Qin Yanlin's retreating figure: Wen Xin and Wen Yu called to say that their parents were getting a divorce and told her to try her best to win Qin Yanlin's heart, assuring her that they supported her!
But can she turn back?
"Dad, get a divorce! Mom wants to starve us!" As soon as Qin Yanlin reached the door, Wen Yu threw himself into his arms and cried loudly.
Wenxin stood beside her, her eyes red, nodding repeatedly.
Qin Yanlin ran into the house and saw Deng Xiuzhen sitting at the dining table, leisurely humming a song.
He was furious and shouted, "What the hell are you doing? Don't you know I have things to do? I'm very busy!"
Deng Xiuzhen spread her hands, pursed her lips, and said calmly, "What does your busyness have to do with me? I didn't call you or look for you."
"And what about them?" Qin Yanlin asked, turning to look at Qin Wenyu and Qin Wenxin.
"Mom, Mom, she didn't cook breakfast this morning, and she didn't give us any money. She told us to figure it out ourselves. What can we possibly do?"
Through Wen Yu's sobbing narration, Qin Yanlin learned that Deng Xiuzhen had given Wen Jing money in the morning so that she could have breakfast and then eat at school for lunch. They had no money and no food to eat when they got home.
"Deng Xiuzhen! How could you do this? They are your children!" Qin Yanlin was furious.
“They chose to follow you yesterday,” Deng Xiuzhen said calmly.
"But we're not divorced yet! Why aren't you taking care of them? Do you really want them to starve to death? Or did you say you didn't want anything yesterday, and now you're going back on your word and resorting to these underhanded tactics to avoid a divorce?"
"Qin Yanlin, I find you really funny. I don't want a divorce? I was the one who brought up divorce yesterday, wasn't I? I'm still waiting here today for you to divorce me. I think it's you who doesn't want a divorce and is just pretending to be busy to not come back, right?" Deng Xiuzhen retorted coldly.
"Fine, let's get a divorce! Let's get a divorce right now! Whoever doesn't get a divorce is a fucking bastard!" Qin Yanlin angrily stepped forward to pull Deng Xiuzhen away.
Deng Xiuzhen stepped aside and said, "I can walk by myself, you don't need to pull me!" She picked up the bag on the table, turned around and walked towards the door.
Qin Yanlin followed them out, and Wen Xin and Wen Yu exchanged a glance, made a gesture, and happily followed.
"Where are you going? Why aren't Wenxin and Wenyu at school?" Yang Yu asked loudly, carrying a hoe.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanlin turned a corner to avoid Yang Yu.
"Today, relatives and guests are visiting, and the whole family is going to a banquet," Deng Xiuzhen said without stopping.
Wen Xin and Wen Yu greeted Yang Yu politely and walked forward with light steps.
Holding the divorce certificate, Qin Yanlin felt dizzy and unreal. Divorce procedures usually weren't this quick, so why was it so fast today? And when did Deng Xiuzhen bring everything she needed? Even the supporting documents were ready. Did she really want a divorce, or was she just trying to scare him?
