Little Chu was discharged after staying in the hospital for a week. Zhang Zhiyuan put down his work and focused on staying at home with his child. He wanted to make up for it, but he couldn't heal the damage to Little Chu's heart. Even if it healed in the future, it would leave a shadow and scar.
These days, what surrounded Zhang Zhiyuan's house were sighs and sighs. Zhang Zhiyuan smoked more fiercely than before, one cigarette after another. He was in more pain and suffering than Little Chu.
Under Lu Yiwei's persuasion, the couple temporarily put down their internal conflict and focused on taking care of their child. Xie Yufen didn't hesitate to cook delicious food for Little Chu. However, Little Chu didn't appreciate it.
After returning home, Little Chu became depressed. He locked himself in the room and didn't say a word, as if he had returned to the previous Little Chu. For a family that had just healed, this was a terrible thing.
Lu Yiwei had nothing to do these two days, so he focused on Little Chu. After Fan Chunfang learned about the situation, he also came to take care of Little Chu, but it didn't work. Just when the family was discussing countermeasures, Xie Yufen suddenly made a surprising move, which made everyone at a loss.
Xie Yufen said weakly, "Zhang Zhiyuan, we have been married for 18 years. In these 18 years, I have suffered a lot with you, suffered a lot, but I have never enjoyed a day of happiness. It just so happens that Yiwei and his wife are also here today. In front of them, I solemnly propose to divorce you. "
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly raised his head and stared at Xie Yufen with empty and weak eyes. He was so angry that his lips turned purple.
After hearing this, Lu Yiwei quickly persuaded, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter that can't be solved? Why do you have to go to the step of divorce? Besides, Little Chu's current situation …"
"Shut up!" Xie Yufen glared at Lu Yiwei and said, "This is our family business, outsiders shouldn't interfere. You just need to be a good witness."
Xie Yufen continued, "Zhang Zhiyuan, I have wanted to divorce you for a long time, but I can't live like this anymore. I don't want to drag you down and delay your future, and I don't want to give up my right to pursue happiness because of you. You care about your reputation, and we don't need to go to court. It's not good for you to make a big fuss. Let's just break up peacefully. " As she said, she took out a divorce agreement from her pocket and put it in front of Zhang Zhiyuan, "I have already written the divorce agreement. Take a look and sign it if you think it is suitable."
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the divorce agreement and was still in a daze. Suddenly, he grabbed the agreement and tore it into pieces, muttering, "I don't agree to the divorce."
Xie Yufen seemed to have made up her mind. She took out another agreement from her pocket and placed it in front of him. "It's not up to you to decide whether I agree or not. Even if you don't agree, I will still move out of this house today. We're both adults, so there's no need for us to act irrationally. This way, we can still remember each other, and it won't be awkward when we meet in the future. Take a look first. "
Zhang Zhiyuan's hands trembled as he picked up the divorce agreement. Xie Yufen explained, "It's simple for us to get a divorce. We don't have much assets anyway. This property was bought by Yiwei, and I'll leave it to you and our child. As for the child, he is the lifeblood of your Zhang family. I will not take him away and leave him to you. I will leave the family with nothing and will not take anything with me. "
Lu Yiwei couldn't bear it anymore. He quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I hope you can calm down. Marriage is not a child's play. Both of you are at this age, there's no need to make things so awkward. Besides, there's still Chu. Have you considered her feelings? "
"Stop it!" Xie Yufen suddenly roared. She glared at Lu Yiwei with her blood-red eyes and said, "Ask him, who caused him to end up like this? For so many years, he had been away from home all the time. He only had work in his eyes. Had he ever thought about his family? Had he ever thought about my feelings? "
Fan Chunfang wasn't familiar with this family. But seeing that the marriage was about to collapse at this critical moment, she stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, we are all women. Why does a man work so hard outside? Isn't it for us to live a better life? In fact, sometimes you should think from Secretary Zhang's point of view. He also has his difficulties. "
"Humph!" Xie Yufen was determined. She said coldly, "Don't try to persuade me. In your eyes, he is a good man. But the one who lives is me, not you. You can scold me for being heartless. I can accept even more vicious scoldings. But there's nothing to talk about today. "
"Enough!" Zhang Zhiyuan slammed the table and took out a pen from the pen holder. He quickly signed his name and threw it to Xie Yufen. He waved his hand and said, "You can go."
Xie Yufen picked up the agreement from the ground and carefully folded it. She put it in her pocket and said, "I'll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9 am tomorrow." After that, she turned around and left.
Xie Yufen left just like that. She didn't even care about her own daughter. Lu Yiwei originally had a good impression of her, but now it was gone.
Zhang Zhiyuan sat there without saying a word. He suddenly looked a lot older.
Lu Yiwei didn't know how to persuade her. He looked at Fan Chunfang and sighed silently.
After a long time, Lu Yiwei said carefully, "Secretary Zhang, how about this. Little Chu lived with my parents for a period of time. Why don't you bring her over?"
Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "No need. You can go first. I want to be alone."
Lu Yiwei wanted to say more, but he was stopped by Fan Chunfang. She got up and pulled him out of the door after saying goodbye.
Back home, Fan Chunfang sat on the sofa angrily and said, "How can Xie Yufen do this? Our child needs a mother's love. She actually proposed a divorce at this time. It's unbelievable. I even wonder if Little Chu is their biological daughter. "
Lu Yiwei's mind was in a mess. He was worried about Zhang Zhiyuan. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to recover because of this. He was also worried about Little Chu. He was worried that she would relapse due to the double blow and become disappointed with the world.
Fan Chunfang suddenly sat up and said, "Yiwei, do you think Xie Yufen has someone outside?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Yiwei glared at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If Secretary Zhang heard this, will he feel good?"
As they were chatting, someone knocked on the door. Fan Chunfang thought it was her parents. She opened the door and was stunned.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Xie Yufen poked her head in and said, "Why? Am I not welcome?"
"Of course you are welcome. Please come in."
Hearing Xie Yufen at the door, Lu Yiwei quickly got up to welcome her.
"Yiwei, I want to talk to you alone. Is it convenient?"
When Fan Chunfang heard this, she immediately said, "Oh, you guys talk. I'm going downstairs to buy groceries." After saying that, she took her bag and went downstairs.
After Fan Chunfang left, Lu Yiwei poured tea for her. They sat face to face and it was a little awkward.
"Yiwei, do you think sister-in-law has gone too far?" Xie Yufen said directly.
Lu Yiwei shook his head.
"I know what you are thinking. But it's okay. You can think of me as a heinous villain. I will accept it." Xie Yufen's eyes suddenly softened and said, "Yiwei, I know you are close to Zhiyuan. No matter what you say, you will side with him. But there are some words that I have been holding in for a long time. I think I need to say it to you."
"We got to know each other. At that time, he had just graduated and started working. At that time, he was thin and small. His appearance was average. You can't find him in a crowd. But he had a halo on his head and graduated from a famous university. So I married him despite my family's objections. "
"After marriage, although our family was poor, we were happy. He was very considerate to me. We lived like this for three years. However, the pain that came with it was like a nightmare. After that, there was no warmth. "
"Three years passed, but I still couldn't get pregnant. At first, everyone thought it was my problem. They accused me of being a hard piece of saline land. No matter how much fertilizer was applied, crops would not grow. I began to doubt myself. So I went for a checkup. After the checkup results came out, there was no problem with all the indicators. My innocence was cleared. "
"Later, I dragged Zhiyuan to get a checkup. At first, he didn't want to go. I forced him to cooperate. After the checkup, it was his problem. It was a rare disease of oligospermia. "
"If he couldn't get pregnant, then so be it. I didn't blame him. So we adopted little Chu. In the beginning, it was peaceful. But later, I found that his thing was useless. He couldn't even lift it. I knew he was under a lot of pressure. I tried to comfort him, but he didn't do anything after that. "
"Yiwei, can you imagine?" Xie Yufen cried. "I've been with him since I was a playboy. I never complained. But can you imagine how many years I've been a widow?"
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei was shocked. He didn't expect Zhang Zhiyuan to have such an unspeakable experience. Carefully thinking about the little things that happened with him, it seemed to confirm Xie Yufen's words.
When Zhang Zhiyuan was in Nanyang County, he basically didn't go home. He even stayed in the dormitory on weekends. Moreover, he refused all kinds of entertainment. Even singing was a taboo. He was afraid that his shortcomings would be exposed. If that was the case, it was not easy for Xie Yufen to get through all these years. But was this an excuse for divorce? It seemed to be true.
Xie Yufen continued, "Now that I'm so old, I don't care about the relationship between men and women. I can bear it, but he shouldn't lie to me. Do you know whose child Chu is? It's a bastard child of his ex-lover who had an affair. If it wasn't for others telling me, I would still be in the dark. "
Another explosive news. Lu Yiwei couldn't believe it. "Sister-in-law, how is this possible? Don't listen to other people's gossip. Maybe some people with ulterior motives are spreading rumors. "
"You don't need to know how I know." Xie Yufen wiped away her tears and said, "Sister-in-law came here today for no other reason than to let you know that I'm not an ungrateful person. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
"But …" Lu Yiwei said, "No matter what, you have to wait for Chu to recover before you mention this matter. Do you have to bring it up now? You know, Chu is innocent. You can't put the blame on her. "
