Chapter 58 Are you out of your mind?

"Shufen," he said slowly, "I know you're still angry, and I understand the grievances you've felt over the years. But once you've had your fill of tantrums, life goes on. A man like me is hard to find even with a lantern. I'm good-looking, eloquent, have a stable job, and my temper isn't bad either. How about we remarry?"

He paused, then added as if bestowing a favor, "At worst, I'll take better care of the family and spend more time with you. I'll come home on time after get off work, and spend weekends shopping and cooking with you. Is that alright?"

He even began to imagine the scene of her being moved to tears.

She threw herself into his arms, sobbing as she admitted her mistake.

Then the family was reunited and lived a harmonious and happy life.

If she keeps pretending, she should be grateful and moved by now, right?

After all, he was willing to back down, so what more could she possibly want?

"What?"

Zhou Shufen almost laughed in anger, her eyes wide open.

"How can there be such a disgusting and shameless person like you in this world?"

She stared at him, her eyes full of disdain.

She spent the first half of her life with this kind of man.

During that period, she did the laundry, cooked, served her in-laws, and took care of the children, working tirelessly without complaint.

But what she received in return was his indifference, disdain, and even betrayal.

He thought she was incompetent, not fashionable enough, and looked like a "yellow-faced woman."

In the end, he dumped her without hesitation and threw himself into someone else's arms.

Now, he can actually sit here with a calm expression and say he wants to remarry?

Just thinking about that awful past makes her feel nauseous.

"Don't get agitated."

Seeing that she was emotional, Zhou Dajun calmly waved his hand.

“We can open a shop together in the future, and I can help you share some of the burden. You're a woman, working outside every day, exposed to the wind and sun, it's so hard, what kind of appearance is that? The neighbors will gossip, saying that it's improper for a divorced woman to show her face in public.”

As he spoke, he meticulously planned out his future life.

"Just stay home and enjoy your retirement. I'll earn the money and handle the work. You just need to dress up nicely and live a comfortable life, isn't that good?"

As Zhou Dajun spoke, his eyes kept glancing at Zhou Shufen's face and figure.

There was a hint of smugness and a hint of calculation in that smile.

What he didn't know was that after Zhou Shufen started her business...

They are no longer the disheveled, subservient creatures they once were.

She no longer wore old clothes, no longer looked disheveled, and her whole person was completely transformed.

She learned how to dress up, understood skincare, walked with confidence, and spoke with conviction.

The neighbors all praised her, saying she "gets younger and younger."

Even her relatives who used to look down on her have started to fawn over her.

But Zhou Dajun felt uneasy.

Looking at her now, he felt not relief, but rather unease.

If this woman keeps running around outside.

What if someone targets me because I deal with people all day?

What if I find a man who is better than him and dump him completely?

Wouldn't he have ended up with nothing?

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and the more he felt he had to "take" her back as soon as possible.

So, his idea of ​​"remarrying" came to fruition.

It was less about love and more about a calculated act of possession.

He didn't say it aloud, but he was already making plans in his mind.

He returned this time under the pretext of "turning back before it's too late."

Actually, I had already planned it out in my mind.

As soon as he returned, relying on Zhou Shufen's usual soft heart, he would pretend to be pitiful for a few more days and shed a few tears.

Then you can move back into this home, eat hot meals, and enjoy a peaceful life.

He had even already planned his next move.

First, stay put and refuse to leave, then slowly disrupt their lives and force them to submit.

Finally, he naturally took the lead in the family.

"Are you out of your mind? I never imagined you could be so shameless!"

Zhou Shufen's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"If you're so capable, why don't you go sell meat at the market? With your thick skin, you'd have customers every day! Who gave you the courage to think I'd get back together with you?"

Zhou Shufen took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.

She suppressed her anger, but the rage was already bursting from her eyes, almost burning Zhou Dajun in front of her to ashes.

She could no longer tolerate it and started to confront him directly.

"Who do you think you are? I could pick up any random guy on the street and he'd be a hundred times better than you!"

"I'd rather never marry than see your face again. It's disgusting!"

She wasn't satisfied with just cursing; the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Memories of the past twenty years flooded my mind.

Zhou Dajun subjected her to long-term emotional abuse, stayed out all night, gambled away his salary, and even flirted with other women in front of her.

People like Zhou Dajun are like worms in a stinking ditch—dark, disgusting, and unable to stand the light of day.

Now it suddenly appears out of nowhere, and even dares to try to crawl back into this home.

It's absolutely disgusting and makes me want to vomit.

When Zhou Haiqing saw that his mother was so angry that her hands were trembling, her face was pale, and her lips were shaking, he was afraid that she might do something rash in a moment of agitation.

He quickly stepped forward and gently took Zhou Shufen's arm.

"Mom, don't get angry. It's not worth hurting your health over someone like that."

"Go and rest for a while, I'll talk to him."

He knew his mother had had enough.

She had been tormented and scarred by Zhou Dajun her whole life, and she couldn't let that man have another chance to hurt her.

"good."

Zhou Shufen responded with a hoarse voice.

She slowly turned around, no longer looking at Zhou Dajun.

She straightened her back and walked step by step toward the room, her back revealing her exhaustion.

Zhou Haiqing straightened up, his tone turning cold.

“Dad, I can’t change the fact that you are my father. I accept that.”

“But I am firmly against you getting back together with my mother. This is not a request, but a warning.”

"Leave now, or I'll really call the police."

Zhou Dajun froze, his expression shifting from arrogance to astonishment.

Wu Haiyan could have just kicked him out.

Now even Zhou Shufen ignores him and treats him coldly.

Even his own son is so heartless?

His proud "bloodline" actually sided with outsiders, speaking coldly to him and even threatening to call the police.

His facade crumbled completely.

He simply started throwing a tantrum, his neck stiffened, his eyes bloodshot, and his voice shrill.

"Fine! You're all teaming up against me?"

"I'm your father! Your father! Is it wrong for me to stay at my son's house? What kind of logic is that?"

"Go ahead and call the police! Let's see what they dare do to me! I want to see if the law is on your side!"

A leopard can't change its spots.

Zhou Shufen sneered, walked out of the room, and stood at the door again.

"So you're finally dropping the act, huh? Finally showing your true colors?"

"He was just a mangy dog, a good-for-nothing, a freeloader who lived off women and would disappear at the first opportunity."
