Xu Zhixia only realized after her death that her entire life had been a joke. Her husband of over ten years had murdered her parents for their family assets, and the day after her death, he married...
Chapter 132 He Wants to Divorce Me
After Xu Zhixia told Zhou An about the heirloom, Zhou An was surprised.
Xu Zhixia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So you didn't even know about this thing before?"
Zhou An nodded seriously: "My mother never told me."
After a pause, he added: "Since I've given it to you, just keep it well."
Xu Zhixia felt a little helpless, but she also knew that she could not get any other information from Zhou An.
So he didn't continue the topic and changed the subject to something else.
In a daze, she began to feel sleepy.
Zhou An was still waiting for her next words, but when he turned around, he found that she had fallen asleep.
Zhou An calmed down, his brows softened, and he tucked the corner of the quilt for Xu Zhixia.
He placed a soft kiss on her forehead and pulled her into a hug.
Xu Zhixia was awakened by a burst of pain, and a sound escaped from the corner of her mouth.
Zhou An suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes became clear.
"Xia Xia, what's wrong?" he asked in a low voice, his tone full of worry.
Xu Zhixia's eyes welled up with tears as she murmured, "My legs hurt..."
Zhou An was a little panicked, but quickly forced himself to calm down.
Thinking back to what the doctor said, I guessed it was a calf cramp.
He sat up straight and put Xu Zhixia's legs on himself.
The big hands with distinct joints massaged vigorously. Feeling the hot temperature of his hands, Xu Zhixia gradually calmed down.
There was still a choking sound in his mouth, but it was much better than before.
After an unknown amount of time, she fell asleep again.
Zhou An didn't stop and continued to massage her.
In the middle of the night, his eyes sparkled.
When Xu Zhixia got up the next day, Zhou An had already gone to training.
Thinking about what happened last night, she felt a surge of guilt.
When I went downstairs, I saw Uncle Wu busy in the kitchen.
Hearing the noise, Uncle Wu looked over and said, "Xia Xia is awake? Zhou An asked me to make you some pork bone soup. Would you like a bowl?"
Xu Zhixia was stunned. She didn't expect Zhou An to be so considerate. A warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She nodded, took the soup that Uncle Wu served, and took a sip.
It's very warm, warming my throat and heart.
After finishing a bowl, Xu Zhixia felt much better.
Just as I was about to go for a walk in the yard, I heard a hurried knock on the door.
Before she could react, Uncle Wu came out and opened the door.
Xu Zhixia also saw the person standing outside the door, it was Feng Zhaodi.
Her eyes were red, obviously she had been crying for a long time.
Xu Zhixia frowned slightly, realizing that something was wrong.
She followed and said, "Sister Feng, let's talk in my room."
Feng Cuihua pursed her lips and suddenly became quiet for some reason.
She nodded heavily and followed Xu Zhixia to the second floor.
Uncle Wu then brought two cups of brown sugar water and left the space for the two of them.
Xu Zhixia didn't say anything, but gave Feng Cuihua enough space to relax.
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Zhaodi's hoarse voice rang out: "He... wants to divorce me."
Xu Zhixia's grip on the water cup tightened in disbelief.
You have to know that in this era, divorce is almost non-existent.
She did not express her opinion immediately, but asked the reason for the matter.
When this was mentioned, Feng Cuihua's emotions, which had calmed down, began to fluctuate again.
"We originally agreed that once this place is settled, we would bring our daughter over."
"When I brought it up last week, he kept putting it off."
"Until yesterday, he told me...the woman outside was pregnant with his child."
Hearing this, Xu Zhixia stood up suddenly.
Because of her experiences in her previous life, she was disgusted with such things.
Captain Feng is obviously a soldier, so why could he do such a thing?
Her tone was filled with suppressed anger, and she asked through gritted teeth, "How dare he?"
Unexpectedly, Feng Cuihua just smiled bitterly: "It's my fault that I didn't give him a son."
“But I really can’t accept it, I can’t accept it…”
She looked at Xu Zhixia, her eyes shining.
"Comrade Xu, your Zhou An is obedient to you. You must have a way to help me win him back, right?"
"I can agree to take his children back home, as long as... he doesn't divorce me."
She spoke the last few words very softly but with determination.
A confused look appeared on Xu Zhixia's face, and he felt a little sad.
As a woman, when faced with her husband's infidelity, her first reaction is to beg her husband not to leave her.
The last time she told Feng Cuihua about the literacy class, Feng Cuihua had never been there.
She felt helpless and had no idea where to start.
An atmosphere of silence spread in the air and no one spoke for a while.
The light in Feng Cuihua's eyes gradually dimmed.
Tears as big as beans flowed down her face, and she choked and said, "What should I do... What should I do..."
Xu Zhixia came back to his senses and took a deep breath.
"Sister Feng, why don't you divorce him?"
Feng Cuihua's voice suddenly stopped, and she looked up with confusion in her eyes.
"divorce?"
She had never known this word in her life.
No matter who it is, they will let her live a good life with Captain Feng.
It is said that she had to burn incense for eight lifetimes before she could marry into a good family.
Including her own family, everyone blamed her for not giving birth to a son for Captain Feng.
"But I'm a woman, what should I do after divorcing him..."
She murmured, somewhat bewildered.
Xu Zhixia held her hand, and a force passed through it.
"I'm also a woman, Sister Feng, what do you think of me?"
Feng Cuihua pursed her lips and said nothing, because her three views were shocked.
Xu Zhixia was an unattainable existence for her.
To be precise, this is the case for all women on the island.
She has her own job, which is to tame men.
Just standing there makes people feel envious.
But there is only one Xu Zhixia on the entire island.
Perhaps seeing Feng Cuihua's thoughts, Xu Zhixia encouraged her: "Why can't you do what I can do?"
"Sister Feng, you are very hardworking and know a little bit about everything."
"Wouldn't it be better if you got a job and had your own allowance?"
Feng Cuihua shook her head subconsciously: "I can't do it..."
Although she said this, something in her heart began to loosen.
Xu Zhixia pressed on: "Why not?"
Feng Cuihua thought about it for a long time but couldn't explain it.
Following the picture Xu Zhixia had painted for her, she imagined a stable job, money in her own hands, and no more nagging from others...
But then a flash of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she smiled bitterly: "But where can I get this job?"
Xu Zhixia's eyes lit up. Since Feng Cuihua could ask this question, it meant that she was already moved.
Xu Zhixia must have had this idea long ago to come up with it.
