Chapter 118 Letter of Severance of Relationship

"Oh my daughter, get up quickly! The ground is cold, don't catch a cold!"

As she spoke, she kicked the bench next to her.

"Sit here, sit here, don't kneel, it's bad for your health!"

Zhou Yangyu lowered her head, her voice soft and weak.

"Auntie, I'm not afraid. I'm the one who wronged Sister Cuifen. I should kneel down."

Her knees were still trembling, but she stubbornly refused to get up.

The three members of the Shen family clenched their fists so tightly they cracked, looking at her shameless appearance.

If she weren't a woman, I would have rushed up and slapped her hard across the face.

"Stop pretending and disgusting people!"

Shen Yong'an finally couldn't hold back any longer and roared out like thunder.

"What era are we living in? Still doing this kind of thing? Taking concubines? It's embarrassing to even hear about it!"

"Do whatever you want, stop putting on this melodramatic show!"

"You said you'd pay off his debts, right? Fine, then I'll pay them off!"

He turned to look at Shen Xuelin, his tone firm.

"Dad, here's fifty yuan in total, give it to my dad!"

"You don't need to beg me."

Shen Cuifen looked at Zhou Yangyu with a cold smile.

"I should thank you for taking a scumbag like Lu Jianguo back with you!"

A mocking smile curved her lips.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yangyu was surprised to find that Shen Cuifen had actually relented.

She froze for a moment, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

She immediately sat up, took out fifty yuan, and stuffed it into Shen Xuelin's hand without saying a word.

Fifty yuan, no more, no less, yet it felt like a complete loss of Shen Cuifen's dignity.

She also bought the "status" she had always dreamed of.

Shen Xuelin didn't answer; instead, he frowned and looked at Shen Cuifen with a worried expression.

That woman is absolutely wicked, wicked to the core.

Her every move seemed like a deliberate provocation.

They caused such a ruckus last night, and now they're coming to make things worse again.

Shen Cuifen remained calm and unperturbed, waving her hand at Shen Yonglin and Song Qiaoying.

"Dad, don't worry, it's okay, just take the money."

She doesn't care whether the money is dirty or not.

It would be best if these two stayed together for life and stopped causing trouble for others.

Her gaze swept over Yang Juanhua and Lu Jianguo with a hint of disdain and sarcasm.

Shen Xuelin nodded and took the money.

"Yang Yu, you have such a kind heart, unlike some people whose hearts are as cold as ice!"

Yang Juanhua warmly took Zhou Yangyu's hand, praising him.

Her eyes kept glancing into her pockets, trying to see how much money she had on her.

But the pocket was too deep, and she couldn't see it clearly even after looking for a long time.

Who didn't think Zhou Yangyu was a widow with a tragic fate, struggling to raise two children?

Even Shen Cuifen thought so.

In her memory, Zhou Yangyu always walked with her head down and never participated in casual conversation.

Who would have thought that he had so much money in his pocket?

Fifty dollars!

That's half a year's harvest for an ordinary family!

In those days of scarcity and meager wages, fifty yuan was enough to sustain a family for more than half a year.

He took it out without hesitation, without even blinking, clearly indicating that there was more.

Zhou Yangyu pulled out the money with a swift and decisive motion.

Such actions, when viewed by others, naturally sparked endless speculation.

If Lu Jianguo really gets together with her, wouldn't he be able to live a life of luxury from now on?

Once this idea popped into people's minds, it took root in many people's hearts.

If Lu Jianguo marries her, he will not only have no worries about food and clothing, but he might even be able to turn his whole family's fortunes around.

Zhou Yangyu was already in her thirties, but she was a little shy after being praised like that.

"It's not as good as what Auntie says. I also have to consider the person."

She responded in a low voice, her tone humble.

After she finished speaking, she glanced shyly at Lu Jianguo.

When Lu Jianguo saw how readily she took out the money, he was overjoyed.

This is not just a matter of money, but also a great affirmation of his charm.

In the entire Daqiao Village, whose wife would spend so much money on her husband?

While other women were arguing and bickering over a few cents, Zhou Yangyu gave away fifty yuan without hesitation.

It's all because he's handsome, capable, and attractive!

He thought to himself smugly.

He straightened his back and scanned his surroundings, hoping someone would notice his "success".

He felt that the bowl of chicken soup he delivered a couple of days ago hadn't been a waste of money.

At that time, he was ridiculed, with people saying he was a toad trying to eat swan meat.

But what do we see now?

The swan jumped into his bowl on its own!

The beating I got for her last night was worth it.

"Yang Yu, don't worry, I'll go back and write the divorce papers right away! We'll have the wedding banquet tomorrow and get married in style!"

He announced loudly.

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced sideways at Shen Cuifen, looking quite smug.

I haven't even left the marriage yet, and my new wife is already waiting for me.

Lu Jianguo is so popular; Shen Cuifen will have her day of tears.

But Chen Cuifen didn't even bother to look at him, not even giving him a proper glance.

She didn't even lift her eyelids, her lips slightly downturned, revealing an undisguised contempt and coldness.

She knew it perfectly well.

These people speak righteously and sternly, but in reality they are full of scheming. She doesn't need to pay them any attention.

By this time, Lu Zhong and Lu Zhongping had already finished writing the letter severing ties with their relatives.

They had been hiding in the house, one reading aloud and the other writing, repeatedly refining their wording, afraid of leaving even the slightest loophole.

They just heard it too: Zhou Yangyu paid back the fifty yuan on Lu Jianguo's behalf.

That means their house has been saved.

With that thought, the two brothers finally felt relieved.

Lu Zhonghe immediately thought of something else: the dowry money for marrying Mu Xiang was also secured!

His eyes lit up. He had thought the 800 yuan dowry from Mu Xiang's family was a long way off.

Now that Zhou Yangyu has provided him with this "lifesaving money," his father has some spare cash and naturally won't stop him from getting married.

He secretly touched the bankbook in his pocket, and couldn't help but smile.

The two were happy and turned around to greet Zhou Yangyu with smiles.

They strode forward, their voices almost exaggeratedly enthusiastic.

"Aunt Yang Yu!"

Lu Zhongping's voice was loud and clear, and he called out in a particularly warm and friendly tone.

Lu Zhonghe followed suit, shouting out as well.

Zhou Yangyu looked at the two tall and strong young men in front of him and couldn't stop smiling.

"Hey hey hey!"

She responded repeatedly.

The two children called her "Auntie" and treated her with great respect, making her feel that she, a person without a son, was finally being respected.

She had a hard life; her husband died young, and she only had two daughters.

She worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk, supporting her family on her meager income.

But the gossipy women in the village always talked behind her back, saying she was "unlucky" and "wronged" because she couldn't even give birth to a son.

Those sisters-in-law were always making sarcastic remarks, saying that she couldn't hold her head up because she didn't have a son.

Why wouldn't she want to have a child?

But who will she have a child with?

She stayed by her husband's memorial tablet and never stepped out of the house again.

Looking at the two young men, she sighed inwardly: how wonderful it would be if they were her own sons.

Looking at Lu Zhonghe and Lu Zhongping's strong shoulders, she suddenly felt a bittersweet longing well up inside her.

After calling Zhou Yangyu, the two immediately turned their attention to Shen Cuifen.

He turned his head and his face immediately darkened.

"It's written! Take a look. If there are no problems, we'll sign this severance document today."

Lu Zhongping said with a cold face.
