Zhuang Chaoying cautiously returned to her home and saw Huang Ling sitting in the living room, with neither of her children there.
Huang Ling glanced at Zhuang Chaoying indifferently, pointed to the stool next to her, and motioned for him to sit down.
Zhuang Chaoying was shocked, thinking that she was going to discuss divorce with him!
"Where are the children?" Zhuang Chaoying asked tentatively after sitting down.
"Sleeping in the back room." Huang Ling's tone was so calm that it was scary.
"I'm a little too tempered today. The children weren't scared, right?" Zhuang Chaoying was about to find a step to get off.
Huang Ling said: "Tomorrow we will go to the work unit to issue a certificate for divorce!"
"Ah." Zhuang Chaoying stood up in surprise and said, "Do you really want to divorce me?"
Huang Ling sighed: "I can't live like this. I used to endure it for the sake of my children. Now that my children are older, I agree with our divorce. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. The sooner we divorce, the sooner we get relief."
Zhuang Chaoying swallowed and said aggrievedly: "I never thought about divorce, how could we get to this point."
Huang Ling said coldly: "Since we got married, your thoughts have not been at home. You don't care about the life and death of me and my children. If you want to be a filial son, I will help you. From now on, you can live with your parents and your third brother!"
Zhuang Chaoying said with a dark face: "Huang Ling, you have to think clearly, divorce will not be good for you, and the gossip from your neighbors and colleagues will not be pleasant."
This era is relatively conservative, and divorce is definitely big news. Especially for women, reputation is very important and can even affect workplace evaluations.
"I don't care anymore." Huang Ling said with red eyes: "I have agreed with my children that they will live with me after the divorce. Now this house was given to me by the cotton spinning factory. I will continue to live in it with my children.
I'll give you three days to pack your things and move out as soon as possible."
"I don't agree." Zhuang Chaoying asked loudly: "What did I do wrong? We have to get divorced."
Huang Ling glanced at Zhuang Chaoying indifferently and said, "You still don't think you are wrong yet. This is our biggest problem."
Zhuang Chaoying asked strangely: "What exactly do you want me to do?"
Huang Ling cried aggrievedly: "I want a husband and a father who can take care of my children. Is this too much?"
Zhuang Chaoying frowned and said, "Isn't what I did good enough?"
Huang Ling wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said: "Since we got married, you have only taken care of your parents and third brother. You give most of your monthly salary to your parents, and you don't take care of the family at all.
When the children are sick, I take care of them day and night, so where are you?"
Zhuang Chaoying said with a black face: "We didn't have a house before, so we lived separately! I didn't want to either!"
Huang Ling sneered and said: "Then let me ask you, you are the eldest son and you don't have a place to stay at home. Instead, your third brother Zhuang Ganmei lives in your parents' house with peace of mind. You must know that we were the first to get married."
Zhuang Chaoying sighed: "I only have two rooms in my house, can't I live in them?"
"Humph." Huang Ling said angrily: "It's either that they can't accommodate us or they just don't want to accommodate us. You know very well how many families now have seven or eight people crammed into one house."
Zhuang Chaoying opened his mouth but was speechless.
"When we got married, your parents didn't show any sign of it, and they didn't even let us live in the house for a day. When I gave birth to the baby for confinement, your parents didn't even care. I could only go back to my parents' house to beg my mother.
Your parents are partial to Lao Sanzhuang and leave everything to him, and now they want you, the eldest brother, to supplement their salary every month. Do you think this is okay?"
Zhuang Chaoying said stubbornly: "We are all one family, so why worry about so much. It is not easy for my parents to train me. There are three brothers and sisters in the family, and I am the best at work. I should help a little."
Huang Ling said bitterly: "I don't have a problem with you wanting to help the family. I think Huang Ling is short-sighted and chose the wrong person. But if you want to wrong my children and subsidize the village and catch up with the beauty, that will never work. My children are my bottom line."
.”
Zhuang Chaoying frowned deeply and asked, "What do you want?"
Huang Ling said: "Get a divorce!"
Zhuang Chaoying said firmly: "I will not divorce."
Huang Ling continued: "If you don't want to get divorced, you have to make a choice."
"Choice?" Zhuang Chaoying asked doubtfully: "You want me to give up my parents."
Huang Ling said coldly: "I didn't say that, but if you still give most of your salary to your parents every month like you did before, I won't be able to survive this life."
"After all, you just want money." Zhuang Chaoying said angrily: "Huang Ling, why have you become such a philistine now?"
Huang Ling said excitedly: "I don't want to ask for money, but our family can hardly live without money. Tunan is growing up day by day, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Every bite of food is saved by me. Without money, my children
I'll be hungry. I want money, isn't it right?"
"Zhuang Chaoying, you are a hypocritical person. For the sake of your own filial piety and the reputation of a filial son, you completely ignore the life and death of your wife and children. If I don't act like a philistine, my two children will starve to death."
Zhuang Chaoying looked at Huang Ling in shock, and realized for the first time what "being a mother means being strong".
At this time Wang Gang came out with Zhuang Xiaoting.
"Dad, Mom, you are too noisy." Wang Gang hugged his sister and said.
"Tunan, Xiaoting." Huang Ling ran over and hugged the two children.
Zhuang Chaoying said solemnly: "Even if we get divorced, Tunan must follow me. He is the direct grandson of my eldest son, Zhuang."
Huang Ling said firmly: "I will not give you the children, and you have no ability to take care of them."
Zhuang Chaoying said angrily: "Tunan is also my child."
Wang Gang took Zhuang Xiaoting's hand and said directly: "We want to live with mother."
"Why?" Zhuang Chaoying said in shock.
"Because if we follow you, we will be bullied by my father, mother-in-law and third uncle." Wang Gang said without hesitation.
Zhuang Chaoying took a deep breath and realized the resentment in her child's heart.
"You guys." Zhuang Chaoying pointed at Huang Ling tremblingly and was speechless for a long time.
Finally, Zhuang Chaoying ran out of the house angrily and went to school to stay overnight.
After finishing work the next day, Zhuang Chaoying rushed to her parents' house.
Father Zhuang and mother Zhuang were still confused when they saw their eldest son running over alone. Huang Ling and the children were not here.
"Why are you coming here alone?" Zhuang's mother asked.
"Huang Ling wants to divorce me. I have no place to live. Can you come back and stay for two days?" Zhuang Chaoying said aggrievedly.
"What, Huang Ling wants a divorce?" Zhuang's father said in shock.
"Brother, are you moving back home!?" Zhuang Kanmei was even more shocked than her father.
"Is Huang Ling crazy? Why should she divorce you?" Zhuang's mother said angrily.
"Huang Ling is dissatisfied that I give you my salary every month, saying that I don't care about the life and death of my children and insist on divorce." Zhuang Chaoying has been observing the faces of her parents and third brother.
Father Zhuang said angrily: "Zhuang Chaoying, how do you become the head of the family? You can't even take care of your wife."
Zhuang Ganmei said: "Brother, we only have this little space at home, where can you live when you move back? Why don't you go to the school dormitory to deal with it for two days first."
Zhuang Chaoying frowned and said: "After Huang Ling was assigned a house, I checked out the school dormitory. Now there are other colleagues living there, and there is no free bed for me at the moment!"
Zhuang's mother said angrily: "Even if we get divorced, it won't be cheap. Huang Ling, you also have a share in the house!"
Zhuang Chaoying wondered: "That is the house allocated to Huang Ling by the cotton spinning factory. I am not a worker in the factory, so I am not qualified to live there."
"Ah." Zhuang's father and mother looked at each other and said, "Then you can't come back."
