"Ha, vicious? You all forced me to this. Anyway, you can think it over carefully whether you give it to me or not. I'm not in a hurry." Zou Yu didn't care about the impression she had in Xu Weiming's mind. Getting the money was the most important thing.

Xu Weiming stared intently at Zou Yu, as if trying to confirm whether what she said was true, but he couldn't tell anything from Zou Yu's face.

Frustrated, he paced back and forth in the room, biting his lip as he pondered whether he should really give her that much money. But if he did, he would be penniless, and what would happen when the baby was born?

Zou Yu, like an outsider, leaned against the headboard watching Xu Weiming wander around, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.

"Have you thought it through? If you really haven't, we can talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, haha." Zou Yu picked up a small storybook from the table, ready to read a story to change her mood.

Xu Weiming looked at Zou Yu, who was leaning against the headboard and reading a storybook with a complicated feeling. He wondered why she wasn't crying and begging him not to divorce her, or cursing him. Instead, she was reading a storybook with a relaxed expression. Could it be that she had no feelings for him at all?

If Zou Yu knew what he was thinking, she would definitely spit in his face. He really wants both, what a despicable man. He's so disgusting that she almost threw up her breakfast.

Xu Weiming composed himself and tentatively asked, "I really don't have 50,000. Can you lower the price a bit?"

Zou Yu was secretly delighted, not expecting this scoundrel to actually have so much money. However, she remained composed and glanced at him lightly, asking, "How much less?"

Xu Weiming thought there was still room for negotiation, so he immediately said, "How about 20,000? You get 20,000 without doing anything, what a great deal! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." He made it sound as if Zou Yu had gotten a great bargain.

"This is what I got in return for my second marriage. No, I don't agree. It's too little." Zou Yu's original expectation was 20,000, but now it's more than that. She wants more.

"Then twenty-two thousand?" Xu Weiming tentatively added, hoping to get as little less as possible. If he wasn't afraid that Zou Yu would get angry, he would have added ten yuan at a time.

Zou Yu looked at him impatiently and said sarcastically, "Do you think this is a vegetable market? I'll give you one more chance. If you still can't reach my price, I'll call my uncle right away."

Zou Yu has a cousin who works in the township and happens to be in charge of family planning. Although he doesn't intend to do anything, he can still cause trouble.

Xu Weiming took a deep breath and asked directly, "Then just tell me, how much do you want?" He was dissatisfied with this and that, but he could at least let her say it herself. If it weren't for the fact that she had a capable uncle working in the village, and the fear that this crazy woman might do something bad, he wouldn't be so frustrated.

Zou Yu laughed, "You'll give me whatever I say?"

"I said I really didn't have 50,000."

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Forty thousand it is! I'll divorce you as soon as the money arrives, and I won't delay your second marriage." Zou Yu was also getting annoyed. What if she pushed this family too far and they poisoned her food? She valued her life.

"You..." Xu Weiming wanted to bargain, but Zou Yu gave him a look and he immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"Fine, forty thousand it is. We'll go get the divorce certificate at noon." He didn't want to spend another moment with Zou Yu; the sooner they left, the better.

"The money must be in place first, then we'll get the divorce certificate." Zou Yu had to be careful, after all, the Xu family had no credibility, and she didn't trust them.

Xu Weiming touched his nose guiltily. He did have some ulterior motives. He originally planned to trick Zou Yu into getting a divorce first, and then he could do whatever he wanted afterwards.

It turns out Zou Yu was quite cautious; he miscalculated.

After the deal was settled, Xu Weiming immediately opened the door and went out, calling Chen Chunfeng to make lunch early, and that they would go to the town bank to transfer the money after lunch.

"Mom, please make lunch early, I have some things to do this afternoon."

Upon seeing his youngest son, Chen Chunfeng immediately pulled him aside and asked, "So, did Zou Yu agree to the divorce? When are you bringing Xiaoyan back? Or should I go and take care of them?"

Xu Weiming patiently explained, "Mom, we'll get a divorce this afternoon. As for Xiaoyan, let's just keep her in Tianshui City. It's not convenient for her to come back for prenatal checkups."

He just didn't agree to let his mother take care of Xiaoyan and her son. He knew his mother's temperament; if he went, the two of them would definitely argue, and he, caught in the middle, would be the one who suffered.

Chen Chunfeng curled her lip, "She's just being dramatic. What's the point of prenatal checkups? I didn't do any tests when I gave birth to you all, and you're all perfectly healthy, aren't you? You're just throwing money away. Why don't you put your money with Mom and I'll keep it safe for you, how about that?"

Xu Weiming quickly laughed it off, saying that if he left the money with his mother, he wouldn't even know whose it would end up with. Besides, he had two older brothers!

"Mom, I promised to give Zou Yu three thousand yuan. You just need to know this yourself. Don't tell anyone outside, lest outsiders think I'm rich and come to my door to borrow money."

Xu Weiming couldn't reveal the real amount he would give Zou Yu, so he could only make something up. If he had directly said 40,000, I would have jumped up and hanged myself.

Chen Chunfeng's eyes widened, and she immediately stood up, preparing to walk towards Zou Yu's room. "She's gone too far! She dares to ask for so much money! We won't give it to her, let's see what she can do! Son, don't be afraid, watch me, I..."

Xu Weiming quickly grabbed her and said anxiously, "Oh, Mom, don't make things worse. You know she has an uncle who works in the village. Xiaoyan is pregnant now and can't afford any mistakes. Let's pay to avoid trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chunfeng stopped in his tracks, but kept muttering, "What a loss, what a loss."

After finishing lunch, Zou Yu put down his bowl and immediately went back to his room to get his documents in preparation for his business.

"Hey, you're not even going to wash the dishes? Look at her attitude. We're not even divorced yet, am I still her mother-in-law? She doesn't listen to me at all, she's so ill-mannered." Chen Chunfeng wanted Zou Yu to wash the dishes before she left, but she completely ignored her.

Xu Weiming was really having a headache. He just couldn't understand what the point was. Oh well, he'd be free once they got divorced anyway, since he rarely came back after that.

Zou Yu first went to the bank with Xu Weiming and watched him transfer 40,000 yuan into his savings account. Then he took the savings account to the counter to check and only smiled with relief after confirming that the money was indeed in his account.

"Would I lie to you? You're far too suspicious," Xu Weiming said sarcastically, seeing her expression.

Zou Yu wasn't going to let him get away with it and retorted, "Haven't you lied to me enough?"

Xu Weiming didn't want to get entangled in these matters pointlessly. "Shall we go to the county to get a divorce now?"

"Let's go!" Zou Yu readily agreed, now that she had the money. She had wanted to leave him for a long time; what a scumbag.
