Looking at the newly issued green certificate, Zou Yu was filled with emotion. She never imagined that she would receive a green certificate in her lifetime.

Xu Weiming saw Zou Yu staring blankly at the divorce certificate and assumed that she was reluctant to part with him.

So she softened her tone and said, "Even though we're divorced, we can still be friends. If you ever have any difficulties in the future, feel free to call me. I'll try my best to help, after all, we were husband and wife."

Zou Yu rolled his eyes and looked down. Who asked him for help? He was just being greedy and wanting more.

"No need. We're strangers now that we're divorced. Let's keep our distance from now on! I don't want my future husband to misunderstand."

"What? You're already thinking about getting married right after divorcing me?" Xu Weiming felt uneasy. Although he was the one who initiated the divorce, the process and Zou Yu's reaction were not within his plans, and he felt a void in his heart.

"You're about to become a father yourself, and you still have the nerve to talk to me like that," Zou Yu was truly exasperated with him. Hearing this, she thought that she had cheated on him first. Although she had someone else on the side, she couldn't be blamed for it. It was Xu Weiming's fault for being so unethical first!

"Also, Mom and I said we gave you three thousand, so don't let it slip," Xu Weiming reminded him.

"I know, I know, that's fine then. I'm going back now, do as you please." This was exactly what she wanted, saving her from outsiders eyeing her money.

Xu Weiming opened his mouth as if to say something, but looking at Zou Yu's back, he couldn't say anything.

Forget it, forget it, they're just not meant to be. Luckily, my son is about to be born. Thinking about it, Xiaoyan is still the best. Let's just leave it at that!

Zou Yu didn't go back to her parents' home; instead, she went back to Xiangyang Village first, since she still had a lot of things to take!

However, as soon as she entered the village, she sensed that everyone was looking at her strangely, as if they were feeling pity mixed with a hint of mockery.

"Xiaoyu, we all know. Why did you agree to the divorce? Look, you're getting nothing out of this. It won't be so easy for you to remarry in the future."

He Bixia looked at Zou Yu with disappointment. It wasn't that she cared much about Zou Yu, but she just couldn't stand Xu Weiming's behavior. This bad example gave the men in the village with ulterior motives an excuse.

"Exactly, Xiaoyu, you're still too young. You should have called your parents. Why did you get a divorce so easily?"

He Bixia had already spread the word throughout the village, and as soon as Zou Yu and the others left, Chen Chunfeng couldn't hold back any longer. He went around saying that Zou Yu was heartless, demanded an exorbitant amount of money from Xu Weiming, and refused to say how much it was when people asked her.

Some busybodies couldn't help but ask Zou Yu, "Xiao Yu, how much did Xu Weiming give you in your divorce? Judging from his tone, it was quite a lot!"

Zou Yu knew that Chen Chunfeng couldn't keep a secret for long, so she smiled and said, "Giving him three thousand shows he has a conscience."

"Oh dear, you've really lost out, Xiaoyu. I heard that Xu Weiming bought a house in the city. A house like that costs tens of thousands, and he only gave you three thousand. You've really lost out big time!"

He Bixia slapped her thigh and looked at Zou Yu with a pained expression.

Zou Yu remained calm. "What good is having a house if the other party is unwilling to give it to me? Besides, my other wife is about to give birth. I have to give up my place so that the child won't be unable to register the birth."

"The other woman is about to give birth? No wonder she's pressuring you to get a divorce. I never would have guessed, tsk tsk..."

"Well, Xiaoyu, what can I say to you? You're still too soft-hearted. If it were me, I would just keep going."

"Exactly, he's still too young." The crowd discussed among themselves, saying that Zou Yu was too easy to talk to and criticizing Xu Weiming's immorality.

Zou Yu lowered her head, pretending to be in pain, and said in a low voice, "Auntie, you all go ahead with your work. I'm going back to pack my things. I'm going back to my parents' home tomorrow."

"Oh, so soon? Why don't you stay a few more days?" The person who was speaking was nudged by someone else and immediately realized that it really wasn't appropriate to stay any longer, since it wasn't like they were visiting relatives.

"Then you should go back first. Don't keep anything to yourself. It's not a big deal. We'll keep an eye out for suitable aunties for you in the future. They'll definitely be no worse than Xu Weiming."

The nosy old ladies are already mentally calculating who in the neighborhood is suitable for Zou Yu, after all, she still has a dowry of three thousand, so the conditions can be raised a bit.

Zou Yu nodded and walked back with her head down. The villagers saw her like this but didn't dare to come up and ask her anything. They could only look at her with pity. How pitiful! What a tragedy!

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Chen Chunfeng blocked his way at the door. "Why did you come back? This is no longer your home. Get out of here or I'll chase you away with a broom."

"Aunt Chen, I haven't packed my things yet. What, are you trying to take all my dowry?" When Zou Yu and Xu Weiming got married, her family gave her a lot of furniture as a dowry, such as kitchen cabinets, room tables and chairs, dressing table, and of course a whole set of tableware and kitchen utensils. She wanted to take all of these back with her and didn't want to give them to Chen Chunfeng.

Chen Chunfeng was taken aback by her calling him "Aunt Chen" and let her go in without paying attention.

Zou Yu walked quickly back to her room and locked the door, refusing to open it no matter how much Chen Chunfeng called from outside.

The first thing I did when I got back to the room was to find all my valuables, including silver bracelets and gold necklaces, wrap them in cloth and put them in my suitcase. I also put the bankbook I had just taken out of my pocket inside the suitcase.

Fortunately, she hid the valuable gold necklace in a secret place before leaving, otherwise, given Chen Chunfeng's character, he would have taken it long ago.

After packing, her suitcase was completely full. She didn't have many clothes to begin with; she only had a few outfits to change over the years of marriage. Some of the clothes were too old for her to keep, since she had money now.

As for the furniture, that's really a problem. After all, we paid someone to build it in the village before, and we can't just move it to my parents' house now!

Zou Yu thought for a moment, then stood up and walked to the window. Seeing that no one was in the courtyard, she figured Chen Chunfeng had gone out to ruin her reputation again.

So he took out ten yuan from his wallet, and walked towards He Bixia's house next door. "Aunt He, are you home?"

He Bixia had just returned from chatting at the village entrance, and before she could even sit down properly, the person who was the center of her conversation came to her house.

"Hey Xiaoyu, what's up?"

"Auntie, it's like this, I was thinking that your upstairs is still empty, could I store my furniture there for now? I'll pay a storage fee."

As he spoke, he took out the ten yuan he had brought and handed it over.
