Chapter 18 A Brand New Beginning

"I can no longer live with him. Please approve my divorce request."

Zhou Dajun was so angry that his face turned pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and even his eye sockets were red.

However, after a whole night.

When he reappeared in front of Zhou Shufen, he had put on that honest and aggrieved look again.

His voice trembled with tears as he said, "I just made a mistake by accident. I admit I was wrong. Please give me another chance! I really don't want to lose this family!"

Zhou Shufen sneered, her face filled with disgust and disappointment.

She said coldly, "Impossible! I feel like throwing up whenever I see you now, and I wish I never had to see you again in this lifetime!"

As Zhou Shufen spoke, she turned her head to the side and pretended to gag.

Zhou Dajun's face instantly turned ashen, and he could no longer maintain his humble posture; a ferocious expression appeared on his face.

He gritted his teeth and replied, "You still dislike me? I only made a small mistake! Let's get a divorce then! Do you think I still want someone like you who's always disheveled and looks like a haggard old woman? I don't want to waste any more time with you like this!"

At this moment, he finally revealed his true thoughts.

Since both parties have clearly expressed their desire for a divorce.

Then what happened next was only natural.

It's simply a matter of how to divide marital property.

In the whole incident, Zhou Dajun was the one who made a mistake.

Zhou Shufen, however, remained silent and rational throughout.

I have never done anything to wrong Zhou Dajun, nor have I ever crossed any lines.

Finally, two red-covered divorce certificates were delivered to them.

The court's judgment was also very clear.

Zhou Dajun was required to leave with nothing, taking nothing with him and receiving no share of the property.

Zhou Shufen walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau holding the green-covered divorce certificate in her hand.

She took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, feeling a sense of relief.

This is the beginning of her brand new life!

In comparison, Zhou Dajun looked much more disheveled!

Zhou Dajun was filled with resentment and stormed back to the factory where he worked.

As soon as he entered the workshop, he wanted to find something to smash.

However, just as he was pondering what to throw on the wall, he was called into the workshop director's office.

The director said with a stern face, "Zhou Dajun, the leader wants to see you."

Zhou Dajun walked into the office with a stoop, and asked cautiously, "Boss, is there something you need from me?"

"You! You've been spreading false information and causing trouble in the factory, which has seriously damaged our company's image!"

The leader reprimanded him with a stern face.

“Most importantly,” the leader continued, “based on confirmation from multiple workers, you not only spread rumors but also deliberately slandered the leadership, causing extremely negative consequences. Today, I am formally informing you that you are now dismissed.”

After the leader finished speaking, the expression on his face showed no sign of softening.

The look in his eyes even carried a deep sense of disgust.

Zhou Dajun couldn't believe his ears at first; his head was spinning.

He stepped forward hastily, his voice trembling, and said, "Sir, this is a complete misunderstanding! How could I dare to spread any false information! Please give me another chance! I really can't afford to lose this job!"

However, the leader had no intention of giving him any further chance to explain.

He said coldly, "Other workers can testify that everyone knows what you did. We can't keep someone like you in our company anymore."

Zhou Dajun wanted to say something, but before he could speak, the office door was pushed open.

Two tall security guards rushed in, one on each side, and dragged him out.

Without any dignity, he was dragged out and slammed heavily onto the ground at the doorway.

The sunlight was still blinding, and he looked up at the sky.

Everything turned cold, leaving only a surge of regret in my heart…

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Dajun's house was gone, his money was gone, and he even lost his job.

Suddenly, everything was gone.

His life seemed to collapse in an instant.

Those relatively stable and reliable days are gone forever.

Suddenly, he had no idea where else to go!

After thinking for a while, Zhou Dajun had no choice but to pack the last bit of his luggage.

His movements were slow, and his eyes were dull.

He hung his head, looking utterly dejected, and moved to Wu Haiyan's house with only a few remaining belongings.

He sat on the stool, cursing incessantly: "We've been together for so many years, through thick and thin, and Zhou Shufen is so heartless. She treats me like an outsider and takes everything for herself..."

"Instead of chopping wood, you're sitting here resting? Do you expect me to serve you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Haiyan outside called out to him, telling him to get to work.

His words were full of contempt and disdain.

"Are you just planning to stay idle and reap the benefits without doing anything?"

What a stroke of bad luck!

Since his divorce, Zhou Dajun has gone from a man with a car, a house, and a stable income to his current wretched state.

In the past, Zhou Dajun needed to have a job and money, and wherever he went, at least he would be fawned over and flattered.

But what about now?

Not only did they lose their source of income, but they also had to live at the mercy of their relatives.

At this moment, Zhou Haiwei and his younger brothers stood at the door once again.

The brothers heard the news that Zhou Shufen and Zhou Dajun had officially divorced.

What's even more infuriating is that she brazenly seized all the family property for herself.

Zhou Haiwei, as the eldest brother, spoke first.

“Mom, we shouldn’t have gotten involved in this, but this time it’s really gone too far. We’re all family, and what you’ve done is so hurtful. How can the property just be given to whomever you want? How could you swallow all the money?”

"Think it through. You've pocketed so much money. What are you planning to do with it? Can you be happy guarding so much money all by yourself?"

"Mom, can you please think about Dad for a moment?"

"What you're doing is incredibly selfish. You only care about money and haven't considered us brothers at all. You don't show any motherly love whatsoever!"

The brothers took turns criticizing him, each one louder than the last.

In the past, Zhou Shufen would have been very sad and heartbroken.

Even without saying apologetic, they would still show some remorse.

But Zhou Shufen is completely different now.

But now, without any hesitation, she grabbed the broom by the window, pointed it fiercely at the group, and roared angrily, "This is between the two of us, it has nothing to do with you! Stop pretending to be nice people here, get out of my house right now!"

"Mom, can't you be a little more understanding of us!"

Zhou Haiwei's tone softened.

"You insist on hoarding this money your whole life, refusing to give us any help. Don't you feel lonely? Can you live like this with peace of mind?"

As Zhou Haiwei spoke, he rubbed his tired eyes.

"Get out! This is my home. None of you are allowed to stay here any longer. Get out of here now!"

Zhou Shufen stood at the entrance to the living room, her hands on her hips, her face ashen.
