"Divorce? Are you crazy?" Su Li was stunned, staring at Deng Shi as if she had never known Deng Shi before.

In the past, when I was with Deng, we always argued about money.

They always argue about food and household items.

There is never a moment of peace in life.

Chen Ling was different; she was gentle, understanding, and considerate, knowing how hard he worked.

I would never put him in a difficult position.

Which man wouldn't want such a caring and considerate person?

"Divorce!" Deng said coldly.

His face showed no extra expression.

Old Scholar Su sighed softly, staring at Su Li with a look of disappointment.

Married life is bound to have its ups and downs; if you're always so respectful, how can you truly support each other through thick and thin? That brat will regret it sooner or later.

"You think you can threaten me like this and I'll back down? I love Xiao Ling'er, and I'm serious. If you want a divorce, I agree!" Su Li said domineeringly.

Su Jiaoniang stared at Su Li.

In her memory, the original owner's younger brother was innocent.

It's silly.

It counts...

Now I'm still acting silly.

Otherwise, why would he abandon the Deng family who loved him?

"Are you sure? If you break off your relationship with Chen Ling right now, quit your job at the county office, and go home to take care of the children, I'll try to talk to Madam Deng and get her to forgive you this time!"

Su Jiaoniang spoke.

The old scholar Su, who was standing against the wall, nodded.

His eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Seeing the gaze of Old Scholar Su, Futu shook his head, walked to Old Scholar Su's side, and used his small stature to support Old Scholar Su's body!

Su Li straightened her back, like a chuunibyou teenager, and stared at Deng Shi: "You are really capable, even my sister helped you. It's just a pity that I will not let Xiao Ling'er down."

"..." Su Jiaoniang frowned, her gaze falling on the pagoda in the courtyard.

“You mustn’t learn this. If you choose someone, you have to be prepared to take responsibility. If you really can’t be together, then part ways amicably,” Su Jiaoniang said.

Futu nodded.

He has never been attached to relationships.

Thinking this, I suddenly sneezed.

It seems he can persist for a while.

A strange illusion.

"Grandpa, don't be angry. Uncle isn't very bright. Fools always do foolish things. That's the spirit of young people. Children have their own blessings. Your worries are useless. If you're so concerned, then worry about Xiaoya. Our family's daughter needs to be raised well. What should we do if she accidentally goes blind in the future and meets someone like Uncle?"

"That's right!" Old Scholar Su breathed a deep sigh of relief.

His gaze fell on the little girl.

His granddaughter is so cute and well-behaved!

What if I encounter a bastard in the future?

"Let's get a divorce. No one is stopping you. I hope you can live a better life from now on," Su Jiaoniang said.

Xie quietly took the pen and ink from the study.

Fortunately, Su Li could write and knew how to write a divorce agreement.

It's simply a matter of parting ways amicably and wishing each other well.

After he finished writing the divorce papers, he immediately pressed his fingerprint on them, fearing that the people in the courtyard might change their minds later that night.

But who would regret it!

Deng let go of Xiaobao's hand and slowly walked towards Su Li, her pace very slow, as if on her wedding day, with her veil covering her face, she was walking step by step towards the future.

That feeling of being lost and helpless.

That kind of... fear.

Even with someone holding her hand, a gentle, large hand that seemed to offer a sense of security.

But at this moment, this person did not bring a sense of security.

She charged towards the future alone.

One glance at the divorce papers, and my eyelashes trembled, tears streaming down my face. I wasn't strong enough after all!

But he pressed his thumbprint on it without hesitation.

Holding a pen, he wrote his name in a crooked and shaky hand.

These words were taught to her by Su Li during the early days of their marriage, when she had the leisure and inclination.

I never expected that this would be the first time I used it in a formal setting.

He wrote down the name, looked up at Su Li, and smiled faintly: "Let's part ways amicably and wish each other happiness."

“Alright, now the question is, which do we want: the child or the house?” Su Jiaoniang asked.

Those who want houses don't have babies, and those who want babies don't have houses to live in.

Su Li was taken aback; he hadn't thought about this question before.

In the village, divorce is rare; women are often divorced. Divorced women usually return to their parents' home or drown themselves in the river. The house and children always belong to the man.

Do I really have to make a choice here?

A struggle flashed in his eyes.

Mrs. Deng stared at Xiao Bao and asked softly, "Who will Xiao Bao live with from now on?"

"Follow Mother!" Xiao Bao said, a hint of unease on his tender face. He gripped Deng Shi's hand tightly, not daring to let go for a moment.

They were afraid that if they let go, the person would be gone.

Su Li frowned and looked at Xiao Bao: "Come here and live with Daddy."

"No, Daddy can't cook, can't sew, and can't play with Xiaobao. Xiaobao wants to stay with Mommy."

The child spoke earnestly about his experiences in life.

Su Li frowned.

For some unknown reason, he snorted and said, "I want a house."

"Alright, let's get it notarized!" Su Jiaoniang led Su Li and Deng Shi onto a mule cart, found the county town, saw Magistrate Hu who had gained even more weight, and explained their purpose.

Magistrate Hu, who had been tense upon seeing Su Jiaoniang, breathed a sigh of relief.

So it was just to witness the divorce!

That's easy to handle.

Once the magistrate stamped his seal on the document, everything was settled.
