Lu Qinghua wiped away her tears, went to the corner, picked up her daughter who was squatting quietly, and told her to call out to someone.

The little girl is very pretty, unlike Lu Qinghua, she looks more like her father Jiang Xingzhi, but she is too thin, with a pointed chin and dark, sunken eyes that make her eyes look even bigger.

Moreover, the little girl's face was pale, and her hair was sparse and dry, clearly indicating malnutrition. She was also unusually quiet for a child. A normal child would cry out in fear if they saw their parents fighting, but this little girl remained silent as if she didn't exist. If Lu Qinghua hadn't brought her over, Ye Qingqing would have thought there was no one in the room!

"Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt."

Yinyin called out softly, looking very sensible.

"Good girl, your name is Yin Yin, right? Here's some candy for you."

Ye Qingqing gently pinched the little girl's face, but only managed to lift a little skin before revealing bone underneath. There was hardly any flesh on her face. Ye Qingqing felt a pang of sadness; the poor child was so unfortunate to be born into such a family.

She took a piece of chocolate out of her bag. Both Anjing and her brother loved chocolate, and she always kept some in her bag. Ye Qingqing tore off the wrapper and gave it to the little girl.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Yinyin was very polite, her calm and even eyes lit up when she saw the chocolate. She took the chocolate, took a bite, and her little face was full of satisfaction. It was so delicious.

Lu Qinghua looked grateful. Her salary was not high, and she had a large family to support. She had to be careful with every penny. He Hongxia only helped her with a few dozen yuan each month, at most a hundred yuan. After a while, He Hongxia also got annoyed.

Lu Qinghua didn't say anything to He Hongxia after that. People are easily discouraged when they are poor. Even parents can't stand their children being poor and destitute. That's just how realistic this society is.

So they lived hand to mouth. Lu Qinghua could only afford to buy Yin Yin the cheapest lollipops. She couldn't afford expensive candies like chocolate. Sometimes when her daughter craved chocolate, she would buy her cheap chocolate, which was actually just cocoa substitute and not real chocolate at all, but her daughter still ate it with relish.

Lu Qinghua put Yin Yin down and told her to go eat chocolate on the side, while Jiang Xingzhi was still being restrained by Lu Mo.

"Divorce!" Lu Mo said in a deep voice.

What's the point of living like this? Get a divorce already. Only a selfish person like Lu Jiangang would sacrifice his daughter's happiness for a little bit of reputation.

"Divorce is fine, but you have to give me 100,000 yuan, or don't even think about getting a divorce!" Jiang Xingzhi shouted.

He's not stupid. Where would he find a hardworking woman after a divorce? He has no job, no savings, no house—a man with nothing. Even old women don't want to marry him. He doesn't want to be a bachelor. Although Lu Qinghua isn't good-looking, she's fat, old, and ugly, but at least she's a woman who can earn money to support the family. He doesn't mind and will make do!

Jiang's mother also shouted, "Others advise reconciliation rather than separation, but you guys are the opposite. You come here and immediately instigate my daughter-in-law to get a divorce. If you want a divorce, then get out of here. Yinyin is a member of the Jiang family, don't even think about taking her away!"

Yinyin, who was eating chocolate, trembled, walked to Lu Qinghua's side, grabbed her hand tightly, looked up and called out, "Mom!"

She wants to stay with her mother, not with her grandparents and father.

Lu Qinghua hugged her daughter tightly and said angrily, "You don't really care about Yinyin at all. You just want to use Yinyin to blackmail me. Are you even human?!"

"You can take Yinyin away, but you have to pay 500,000 yuan, not a penny less!" Jiang's father was even more arrogant, making an outrageous demand.
