Chapter 34: Rest

The more Chen spoke, the more she felt that she was indispensable in the Gu family, so she puffed out her chest confidently and looked at Gu Pingzhi provocatively.

Gu Pingzhi was so angry that he had no place to vent. Although Chen had gone too far, what she said was indeed true. The family needed someone to go out and earn money. If he went out, someone would have to take care of the family...

Seeing that Gu Pingzhi's expression relaxed a little, Chen became even more proud, and even glanced at Su Yue, as if to say, "The boss can't do anything, so what can you do to me?"

"Uncle, you brought back some frostbite cream, right?" Su Yue recalled what her uncle had said before, so she asked for the frostbite cream and applied it carefully to Xiao Lingling.

Little Lingling gasped in pain, but she knew her cousin was doing it for her own good, so she endured it from beginning to end without saying a word of pain, which made Su Yue feel pity for her again.

"Uncle, marry a virtuous wife. Don't divorce a woman like my aunt who lacks all four virtues. Keep her at home. Now that you know the truth, do you feel at ease if you go out?

My uncle is now in his prime, so he won't have trouble finding a virtuous wife. But as for my aunt, if you divorce her, she will have no choice but to return to her parents' home.

But can her family support her for the rest of her life? She will definitely be married off to someone else.

Now that my aunt is old and ugly, she will definitely not find a good husband. Instead, those gamblers, alcoholics, and disabled people who like to beat their wives will probably want her..."

Su Yue spoke word by word in a clear and logical manner, gradually refuting Chen's reasons for not being able to divorce. Chen's smile froze on her lips, and her hands were at a loss.

What Su Yue said seemed to make some sense. She was already over 30 years old now, and if she was really divorced, she would go back to her parents' home.

Her family members were so greedy for money that if they really promised her to the families the girl mentioned, she would rather die with a white silk scarf.

Gu Pingzhi thought what Su Yue said made a lot of sense. He had been ready to give up, but now he finally got the courage.

Yes, I am only in my early thirties, in the prime of my life. As long as I work hard to make money, I won't have to worry about having a virtuous wife. This wife bullies the family members like this, what do I want her to do? Should I allow her to continue bullying?

"What Miss Yue said makes sense. Let's just divorce Chen. I'll go write the divorce letter right now." Gu Pingzhi pretended to walk out.

Chen was so frightened that her face turned pale. She fell to her knees with a thud and hugged Gu Pingzhi's thighs tightly. Her eyes, which had been howling for a long time without shedding a single tear, were now really frightened and tears were streaming down her face.

"Boss, boss, I was wrong, I really admit my mistake, please don't divorce me, okay? I don't want to marry a gambler, drunkard, and a cripple!

I really know I was wrong. From now on, I will treat my third brother's wife and my little niece well. I will take out all my private money right now.

Buy supplements, yes, buy the best supplements for my brother and sister-in-law. I beg you, please don’t divorce me, okay? "Ms. Chen cried so miserably that her nose even snotted profusely.

"This..." Gu Pingzhi's legs were held tightly, unable to move at all. He looked at Su Yue in embarrassment.

"It's okay, uncle. If you can't write the divorce letter today, just write it tomorrow. As long as aunt doesn't change her mind, you can write it anytime. She can't stop you forever." Su Yue deliberately raised her voice so that Chen, who was crying, could hear it clearly.

When Chen heard Su Yue say this, she was so scared that she quickly let go of Gu Pingzhi. She wanted to hug Luo's legs and ask for forgiveness, but was stopped by Xiao Lingdang, who was afraid that she would hurt her mother.

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong. Please ask the head of the family not to divorce me. From now on, I will take care of all the household affairs. You just need to focus on preparing for the birth of your baby.

And Xiao Lingling, I will definitely raise her to be plump and white, so can you please forgive me this time? "Chen begged desperately, which moved Luo, who started to plead for her.

"Brother, why don't you forgive your sister-in-law this time. I think she is truly repentant."

Gu Pingzhi had never seen his wife so submissive. She usually acted like a tigress, but now she seemed a little soft-hearted.

"That……"

“No one will learn their lesson just by crying a few times. If you, aunt, really repent, just chop off one finger to show your determination. Then your uncle will believe you this time and give you a chance.” Su Yue interrupted Gu Pingzhi, gave him a look, and threw a kitchen knife in front of Chen.

The kitchen knife made a "bang" in front of Chen, and Chen was so scared that he fell silent.

Chen looked at the kitchen knife, thought about her own affairs, and finally picked up the knife.

"Boss, you must keep your word. I will chop off one finger to show my sincere regret. From today on, I, Chen, will start anew!" After saying this, he looked ruthless and was about to chop off his own little finger.

Su Yue was quick-witted and kicked Chen's wrist directly. Chen's wrist felt pain and the kitchen knife fell to the ground.

"Yue girl, what are you doing..." After being taught a lesson by Su Yue this time, Chen was truly repentant. Seeing her kicking the kitchen knife away, she became confused.

"Okay, aunt, I, your uncle, and third aunt have all felt your true repentance. This time, your uncle will forgive you."

She didn't really want Chen to chop off one of her fingers, she just wanted to teach her a lesson.

"Okay, ma'am, I won't write the divorce letter. If you really want to mend your ways, I'll give you this chance. Don't chop off your fingers. It will be inconvenient for you to work if you chop them off." Gu Pingzhi came over and helped Chen up, and his words were very honest.

At this time, Xiao Lingling handed Chen a face towel that had been washed with hot water, and comforted her in a baby voice: "Auntie, it's good that you know you were wrong. Hurry up and wipe it. You're crying like a big cat!"

Chen felt warm at the thoughtful behavior of Xiao Lingling. When she saw her hand extended to her, with chilblains on it, her nose felt sore. She reached out and slapped herself again: "It's my fault. My aunt is bewitched."

When Su Yue saw this, he took out two hundred taels of silver and handed it solemnly to Chen.

"Aunt, this money is not much, but it is enough to support us in the countryside for a while. Third aunt is about to give birth, and you still have to support the mistress of this family. Don't let my mother down."

The reason why she didn't take it out at the beginning was that she was afraid that her aunt-in-law would temporarily sacrifice her acting for the sake of money. Only if she can't see any benefit from the Gu family for her from the beginning to the end, and can truly repent, can it be said that she has truly repented.

"Yue girl, this time my aunt really knows she was wrong. You are right. I was the bastard before. During these years in the countryside, I threw aside the propriety, righteousness, and honor that my father-in-law taught me. I only learned the ways of the country women who are always throwing tantrums and pursuing profit."

After saying that, Chen smiled at Gu Pingzhi embarrassedly, and Gu Pingzhi also smiled back at her naively.

After handing the money to Chen, Su Yue explained a lot of things before reluctantly going back.

I had originally wanted to visit my grandparents, but the two old people were sleeping soundly, and as they were old, it would be difficult for them to fall asleep again if I woke them up, so I decided to come back to visit them in a few days.

Before leaving, Su Yue pulled Xiao Lingdang and joked, "If your aunt bullies you again, just tell your uncle directly, and don't bear it."

Chen didn't care. After all, she had done something wrong before, and it was understandable that she let the child be more careful.

So Su Yue got on the carriage with peace of mind and headed for the Prime Minister's Mansion.
