Chapter 42 Gu Jia Wan'er
Chenjiabao
"Ms. sir..."
Gu Wan'er's watery eyes sparkled with a glittering light, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Husband, I know I went too far this time, but...but my family is having a hard time making ends meet!"
"You know, Qingyun is such a great student, but his family can't even afford his tuition. Every time, his parents have to beg Master Lin to waive a little bit of tuition."
Gu Wan'er thought of her handsome brother, who had to work in the school after class to pay off Master Lin's debts. Her heart ached, tears fell from her eyes, and her voice became even hoarse. She choked and said, "My mother's family is in such a state. As a sister, how can you let me watch it?"
"I know I often secretly take money back, which makes you feel embarrassed, but...but what do you want me to do? I really can't bear to see them suffer!"
Chen Youliang listened, his eyes swept around the dilapidated house, and finally fell on Gu Wan'er who broke down and cried, looking at her thin shoulders.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a sad smile, which was full of fatigue and helplessness. He stretched out his hand with difficulty to comfort her, but in the end he just let it fall down weakly.
"Wan'er, I know you're thinking about your parents' home!" His voice was a little hoarse, "But... do you want to see what kind of life we're living now?"
Chen Youliang thought of the broken dishes and thin porridge at dinner, and the patched clothes of his parents. The bitterness in his heart surged uncontrollably like a tide. He swallowed hard, wiped the bitterness from the corners of his eyes, and spoke again with a firm face, "Divorce!"
Gu Wan'er looked up in shock, but when she saw her husband's determined face, she realized that he was not joking and that this was not an impulsive decision, but... the result of careful consideration.
She moved her cheeks as if to explain, to defend herself, but her mouth would not open and she could only let the tears well up in her eyes.
She tried hard to control her sobs, looked at Chen Youliang for a long time, and then said one word, "Okay!"
Phew, it’s finally over! Chen Wan’er cheered in her heart, but she still tried to control her expression. This was the last step, and she couldn’t let it go to waste!
"Bang, bang, bang" a series of eye-catching knocks echoed on the old wooden door of the Chen family, breaking the depressing atmosphere in the house.
Chen Youliang's mother, a woman who had been honest and gentle all her life, appeared outside the door at this moment, as angry as a lit firecracker.
"Youliang! Youliang!" Chen's mother's voice was full of anger and anxiety. Her hands were clenched into fists, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to deepen. She stood in front of the door, her body trembling slightly, and tears flashed in her eyes. Those were tears of heartache for her son, and also the flames of anger.
Chen Youliang opened the door anxiously. He had never seen his mother lose her composure like this. The moment Chen's mother saw her son, the anger and grievance in her eyes poured out like a flood.
The person who was usually as gentle as dough, was like an enraged lion at this moment, furious. She pushed her son who was in the way aside, rushed into the house regardless of everything, and saw the weak woman who seemed to need protection at any time, and cursed.
Those dirty words that I usually don't even dare to say, now burst out like an erupting volcano.
"You shameless woman!"
"We are an honest family. Should we be deceived by someone like you?"
"Why do you, a wicked woman, come to bring disaster to our family?"
"Is it because our family used to be rich? You are such a disaster!"
"Those vampires from your mother's family, how come they are so shameless?"
……
Mother Chen cried and cursed, thinking of all the grievances she had suffered for the so-called family harmony since she married this daughter-in-law, she felt even more annoyed. How could she be so short-sighted as to let such a person into their Chen family?
Oh my God, how many sins have I committed in my previous lives to deserve such a disaster?
Gu Wan'er saw her mother-in-law's attitude and felt a pang in her heart. This situation was not right! No, we had to leave immediately.
