Chapter 95 Let’s Divorce

Zhao Youcai felt like he had punched cotton, and was so frustrated that he was about to explode.

Su Tang looked at him who was on the verge of losing control, and his tone softened a little, but his eyes were still clear and sharp.

"If you really have something to ask, you should ask Auntie. Honesty is the most important thing between husband and wife. Hiding some things and guessing about them will only widen the rift."

"Uncle, do you think I'm right?"

She knew that even if she didn't say anything, Zhao Youcai would not dispel his doubts.

But these words could not come out of her mouth.

To put it bluntly, if you interfere in other people's affairs, you will suffer retribution.

She bent down, picked up the bamboo basket full of seaweed, and prepared to leave.

When passing by Zhao Youcai, he paused slightly and said nothing.

Su Tang did not stop, carrying the bamboo basket on his back, and walked briskly along the reef towards the shore.

Zhao Youcai looked at Su Tang's receding back, his teeth chattering.

Finally, all the questions and anger in his heart turned into an extremely suppressed growl, and he punched the slippery reef next to him so hard that his knuckles bled instantly.

The conversation between Su Tang and Zhao Youcai on the rocky beach was like a wind with wings, and soon it reached the ears of Su Yufen, who was always paying attention to Su Tang's movements.

Su Yufen was extremely scared, but she didn't dare to do anything.

She was afraid that Su Tang had really said something to Zhao Youcai.

More afraid...

She didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this moment, it felt like a knife was hanging on her neck. It was too terrifying.

In the evening, Zhao Youcai returned home with a gloomy and angry look on his face.

The wound on the knuckle was just hastily wrapped with a piece of cloth and was oozing blood.

He didn't even glance at Su Yufen who was cowering in the corner. He walked straight to the table, poured a bowl of cold water, and gulped it down with a terrifying ruthlessness.

Su Yufen looked at the blood on his knuckles and his menacing look, her heart beating so wildly it almost exploded.

She knew she couldn't delay any longer.

Zhao Youcai's patience had obviously run out. Even if she didn't say it, he would find a way to force her to say it.

Taking advantage of the moment when Zhao Youcai put down the bowl, Su Yufen knelt straight on the cold ground in front of him with a "thump"!

This sudden action made Zhao Youcai stunned, and then he felt even deeper disgust and rage. He thought she was asking for mercy again.

"Talent! Talent!"

Su Yufen's voice was shaking and tears were pouring out. She was not pretending, but was really filled with fear and despair.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

She didn't dare look up at him, but just kept banging her head, and soon a red mark was left on her forehead on the rough ground.

"I...I shouldn't have kept it from you! I shouldn't have felt guilty! I shouldn't have hidden from you!"

She was incoherent and tears were streaming down her face.

"That day...that day at the dock, it was me...I was the one who started the trouble with Su Tang and said a lot of nasty things...She...she was so angry that she...said some harsh words to scare me...I was wrong! It was all my fault! I deserved it!"

She avoided the main point and only admitted that she was the one who provoked first, without mentioning the secret.

She raised her head, her face covered with tears, and her eyes showed unprecedented humility and pleading.

"Youcai, I will never dare to do that again! I swear! I will stay away from Su Tang! I will listen to you in everything! Please, for the sake of our marriage for so many years... don't... don't be so angry. I'm scared... I'm really scared."

Zhao Youcai looked down at his wife who was kneeling on the ground, as humble as dust.

She admitted the provocation and her guilty conscience and concealment.

This seemed to confirm some of his guesses.

Su Tang did have something on her, something that scared her to the core.

But she still held it tightly, she was still lying to him, still treating him like a fool.

Su Yufen's seemingly sincere apology not only failed to extinguish Zhao Youcai's anger, but instead was like pouring a pot of oil on him.

The more humbly she begged for mercy and the more she emphasized "fear", the more dirty and unspeakable the secret seemed to him.

He kicked the stool next to him with a loud noise, which scared Su Yufen so much that she screamed and huddled up with her head in her hands.

"roll!"

Zhao Youcai squeezed out a word from between his teeth, his voice hoarse: "I'm annoyed just seeing you!"

He stopped looking at her, turned around and strode into the inner room, slamming the door.

Su Yufen collapsed to the ground, her whole body cold.

She apologized and begged for mercy, but Zhao Youcai's reaction... was more terrifying than rage.

Zhao Youcai's tightly closed door completely isolated Su Yufen from his world.

Apologies were useless, begging for mercy was useless, the fear day and night tightened around her throat like a rope, making it hard for her to breathe.

She felt like she was sinking into a bottomless quagmire, surrounded by cold darkness. The only way out... seemed to be to completely cut herself off.

Divorce! Leave Zhao Youcai! Leave this volcano that could swallow her up at any time!

This thought brought a sense of relief.

Although divorce would also ruin her reputation, compared to the huge uproar after Zhao Youcai knew her secret and the fear of being beaten to death, this seemed to be the only way to survive.

A few days later, Zhao Youcai still treated her as if she didn't exist. When he ate, slept, or went out, he treated her as a piece of annoying air.

Su Yufen gathered all her strength and blocked the door when he was about to go out to the warehouse with an expressionless face again.

"Talented..."

Her voice was hoarse and trembling with desperation.

Zhao Youcai paused and glanced over with a cold gaze, as if he was looking at a stone on the side of the road.

Su Yufen took a deep breath, dug her nails into her palms, and uttered those two words with all her strength: "...divorce."

The air seemed to freeze in an instant.

The coldness on Zhao Youcai's face shattered instantly, replaced by an expression of incredible astonishment.

Divorce?! How dare she ask for divorce?!

How could she, a woman who hid secrets and deceived him for years, have the right to file for divorce?!

This is simply turning the tables and stepping on his face to climb up.

"divorce?!"

Zhao Youcai squeezed out two words with anger.

He suddenly took a step in front of Su Yufen. His tall figure carried a terrifying sense of oppression, his eyes were red, and veins on his forehead were bulging.

"Su Yufen! How dare you bring up divorce?!"

He grabbed Su Yufen by the collar and threw her against the door like a chicken.

Su Yufen was hit so hard that she saw stars and her throat was strangled. Fear made her whole body tremble like a sieve.

"You think divorce is the end of it?! You want to run away?! Where are you going to?!"

Zhao Youcai's saliva sprayed on her pale face.

"Tell me what you're hiding from me!"

The long-accumulated suspicion and humiliation completely erupted at this moment. He shook her, wishing he could shake her bones apart.

“No…no…I…I…”

Su Yufen was strangled to the point of almost suffocating, and could not utter a single word except for fear.

"No?!"

Zhao Youcai looked at her, who was as fearless as a dead pig in boiling water, and his anger completely burned out his rationality.

Divorce? Want to use divorce to escape, want to walk away? No way!

He couldn't afford to lose this person, he had to let everyone know that it was this woman who had let him, Zhao Youcai, down!

It's Su Yufen who has the problem!

"Okay! Okay! You want a divorce, right?!"

Zhao Youcai suddenly let go of his hand, and Su Yufen fell to the ground like a rag.

He grabbed Su Yufen, turned around and rushed out, roaring.

"Come on! Follow me! Let's go find your elder brother and his wife! I want them to judge right and wrong! Look at the good daughter the Su family has raised! Look at what kind of person you, Su Yufen, are!"
