Chapter 129 Divorce After Spring Begins (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Cui gave a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Don't listen to Wang Xiaohu's nonsense. It's all baseless. Wang Xiaohu is just saying things because he's upset with Tianyu."

Wang Xiaohu couldn't stand hearing this, so he immediately told Zhou Qiang everything he had heard.

Zhang Cui could no longer stand still. Impulsively, she stepped forward and chased Wang Xiaohu out of the house, closing the door behind her and forbidding him from entering again.

The room suddenly fell silent; no one spoke first.

Zhang Cui pretended that nothing had happened, and served the food to her family as usual, warmly inviting them to sit down and eat.

Zhou Tianyu could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere, but he didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

Zhou Qiang kept a close eye on Zhang Cui's every move.

Zhang Cui asked curiously, "Aren't you hungry after a long day?"

"You still haven't explained to me what happened before you got married," Zhou Qiang said, as if he wouldn't let me eat until he got a clear explanation.

Zhang Cui has been enduring this matter for the past few days.

Zhou Qiang's persistent questioning made her very unhappy.

“What happened before marriage is in the past, what does it have to do with us now?” Zhang Cui clearly didn’t want to talk about it.

Zhou Qiang was determined to hear the truth. If what Wang Xiaohu said was true, then Zhang Cui was truly despicable.

"Wasn't what happened before marriage something you did? Did you really make that person have an abortion?" Zhou Qiang asked tentatively.

Zhang Cui became agitated and shouted angrily, "Enough! Can we please stop bringing this up?"

"When you went to the river to burn paper money before, it wasn't actually for your deceased relatives, but for that woman, right?"

Zhang Cui glared fiercely at Zhou Qiang, gritting her teeth, "Can you please stop talking?"

"You've been having nightmares frequently for a while now. Are you dreaming that the other person is trying to take your life?"

"I told you not to say anymore, don't you understand?" Zhang Cui frantically overturned all the food on the table and pushed it to the ground.

Zhou Tianyu didn't even have time to take a bite before watching the food in front of him fly out and spill onto the ground. He couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

This was the first time he had ever seen Zhang Cui and Zhou Qiang argue so fiercely since he could remember.

They weren't like family at all; they were more like enemies.

"Mom and Dad, can you please stop arguing? Can we talk to each other like we used to?" Zhou Tianyu asked softly.

The two people, who were in a fit of anger, wouldn't listen to anything.

"Tianyu, this has nothing to do with you. Go back to your room," Zhang Cui instructed.

Zhou Tianyu wanted to say something more, but Zhang Cui glared at him, and he immediately obediently went back to his room.

Zhou Qiang closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air. He had never imagined that the people around him would be such wicked individuals.

He wanted to verify it, but Zhang Cui's behavior was so obvious that he didn't need to verify it; he already had the answer.

Why do that?

“I’ve made it very clear to you that it’s all in the past. You were too young back then, so it’s normal to do some foolish things. But I can tell you for sure that I didn’t do anything illegal or disorderly. That woman brought all the trouble upon herself.”

Zhang Cui gritted her teeth, knowing she couldn't avoid it, and chose to tell the whole story.

"Actually, that woman didn't hang herself at my doorstep. She jumped into the river in front of my house. I was the one who persuaded her to have an abortion, but she refused and jumped into the river. Plus, I saw the horrible state of her when she was pulled out of the water, which is why I have nightmares about her at certain times."

Zhou Qiang sat silently to the side, not saying a word for a moment.

Zhang Cui couldn't stand it anymore. She initially disagreed with this marriage, but as time went on, she found that Zhou Qiang was far superior to the men she had liked before.

Therefore, in order to maintain the marriage, she deliberately hid the matter.

Now, she can no longer hide it.

"You've heard the whole story, don't you have anything to say to me?" Zhang Cui gradually calmed down, eager to know what Zhou Qiang was thinking at this moment.

"I can't continue living with someone like you. Let's get a divorce."

Zhou Qiang said these words impulsively.

Zhang Cui staggered a few steps and almost lost her balance.

She shook her head vigorously, unwilling to believe it.

“These things happened so long ago, and we even have Tianyu. How can you want to divorce me now because of this? Zhou Qiang, is your heart made of stone?” Zhang Cui found it hard to accept.

Although she had considered this possibility before, she quickly dismissed the idea from her mind.

She always felt that since she and Zhou Qiang had Zhou Tianyu, no matter how heartless Zhou Qiang was, he would never divorce her.

But now, she overestimated her importance in the other person's heart.

"Is my heart made of stone? Isn't your heart made of stone too? Zhang Cui, we've been married for so many years, you could have had so many opportunities to say these things to me, but you just wouldn't. I only heard these things from a little kid like Wang Xiaohu. Didn't you ever consider my feelings?"

Zhou Qiang felt very aggrieved, because he didn't even know about this as early as a child.

Zhang Cui gritted her teeth. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I'm afraid to tell you. I'm afraid you'll leave me after I tell you."

Zhang Cui finally let out her pent-up emotions, "Look, you're going to divorce me now."

“This is completely different. If you had told me earlier, it would never have come to this point of divorce. It’s your lack of trust that makes me feel like a fool,” Zhou Qiang said, expressing his frustration.

Despite being his bedmate, she could easily conceal her secrets from him for over a decade.

Anyone who heard that would think he was being fooled like a fool.

Zhang Cui gradually suppressed the madness in her heart and gradually regained her composure.

“Since you want a divorce, can we wait until next spring? It’s too cold now, and Tianyu still needs me to take care of him. If we really get a divorce, you definitely won’t give Tianyu to me.”

Zhang Cui rarely spoke softly, which Zhou Qiang found somewhat unusual.

However, he didn't make things so drastic, nodding in agreement, "Okay, we'll get a divorce after spring."

Zhang Cui looked at the mess on the ground and silently began to clean it up.

Zhou Tianyu had been eavesdropping on the situation outside from his room. When he heard that the two of them were getting a divorce, he couldn't hold back any longer and ran out of the room.

“I don’t want you to get a divorce. I want to live with you. Wang Xiaohu is all alone at home now. He can’t even afford to eat and can only survive by stealing money. Dad, Wang Xiaohu stole Mom’s money. He deliberately told Mom’s secret so that you would be unhappy and blame Mom.”

Zhou Tianyu cried uncontrollably, showing Zhou Qiang his swollen and red face.

Zhou Qiang felt heartbroken and immediately regretted what he had just said.
