Chapter 143 Crying
Fang Yi sat on the bed in the bedroom, pretending to read a book.
She waited until 10 p.m., but no one called her downstairs for dinner.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, realizing that no one in her family valued her.
Fang Yi stood up abruptly in anger, opened the wardrobe, took out her bag, and haphazardly stuffed her clothes into it.
She was ready to go back to her parents' home immediately; she wouldn't wait a moment longer.
Exhausted, Brother Lu pushed open the bedroom door and saw Fang Yi packing her luggage in her bag. Without asking any questions, he simply lay down on the bed in a starfish position.
Fang Yi became increasingly angry and aggrieved when she saw that Brother Lu didn't even ask her questions, so she deliberately threw her luggage around while packing.
The moment she opened the bedroom door, Brother Lu spoke: "If you walk out this door today, don't come back."
Fang Yi released her grip on the doorknob and turned around in disbelief: "What do you mean?"
Brother Lu has never felt so tired: "I'm leaving today, and I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to complete the divorce procedures."
Fang Yi dropped her luggage to the ground and quickly walked to the bedside, tearing at Brother Lu.
"I've been married to you for 10 years, and I've given you my children. Now you want a divorce?"
"Do you have another woman on the side? I want to see which little slut is stealing my man."
As she spoke, Brother Lu heard her words becoming increasingly offensive, and he sat up.
He grabbed the hand that was trying to tear him apart and flung it away, saying coldly, "Look at yourself now, spewing filthy words."
Fang Yi stumbled from the impact and fell down.
Her face was pale, her lips trembled, and she stared blankly at Brother Lu's impatient expression.
I just can't understand why we're getting a divorce.
She burst into tears, "Why are you divorcing me?"
Brother Lu got out of bed, walked over to Fang Yi, leaned down and pinched her chin: "Why are you always targeting your sister-in-law?"
Fang Yi's sobs faltered, her eyes widening as she hoped she had misheard: "You want to divorce me for that woman?"
A hint of disappointment flashed in Brother Lu's eyes as he stood up.
He said coldly, "Tomorrow is the New Year. Take Miaomiao home. There's no reason for a child from the Lu family to spend the New Year in your Fang family."
Fang Yi seemed not to hear, staring intently at Brother Lu, and asked tearfully, "You're going to divorce me for your sister-in-law?"
Brother Lu completely lost his patience and slapped her.
He growled in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? What does this have to do with your sister-in-law?"
"What does it matter to you whether they buy things for their parents or not?"
Why are you always so aggressive?
Fang Yi covered her slapped face, and it took her a long time to come to her senses. She never thought that one day she would be hit by Brother Lu.
Then I heard the other person mention buying something.
She started to feel uneasy again. When she told Lu's mother about this, she really wanted to put a bad word to Gu Yihan.
Confused, Fang Yi stubbornly insisted, "Did Mom tell on you? I'm doing this for Mom and Dad's own good..."
Brother Lu looked at Fang Yi sarcastically, interrupted her, and said sternly, "Shut up."
Brother Lu discovered that Fang Yi seemed to live in her own world, and he couldn't reason with her.
He was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it, so he kept pacing around in the bedroom.
Upon seeing the luggage on the ground, he kicked it several times in a fit of rage, until the clothes inside were scattered all over the floor.
Fang Yi had never seen Brother Lu so furious, and she was too scared to say a word.
After venting his anger, Brother Lu's eyes flashed with a fierce glint as he glared at Fang Yi: "If you don't want a divorce, you'd better watch your mouth from now on."
After saying that, he ignored Fang Yi, took a quilt from the cabinet, spread it on the floor, and lay down.
Fang Yi was truly terrified at this moment and refused to get a divorce no matter what.
Her family treats her with such high regard because she married well; if she gets divorced, all those privileges will be gone.
Fang Yi had finally managed to earn some respect from others, so how could she possibly go back to the days when she was nobody?
Thinking of Lu Huailin and his wife, Fang Yi now hates them both too.
If Lu Huailin hadn't gotten married, everything in the house would have belonged to him.
On the other side
Lu Huailin held Gu Yihan and coaxed her softly, "Wife, just pretend Fang Yi farted."
Gu Yihan was furious: "Did you listen to what she just said? Was she even speaking human language?"
"You actually pulled me away. You should have let me in and slapped her twice."
Do you even know who your wife is?
Gu Yihan never expected that when she returned from the restroom, she would find that Brother Lu's bedroom door was not closed and that the two of them were arguing.
She hadn't paid any attention at first, but as she passed by, she overheard Fang Yi saying, "You're going to divorce me for your sister-in-law's sake."
Gu Yihan's temper flared up instantly. What did she mean? Was she implying that she had seduced her brother-in-law?
Just as she was about to go in, Lu Huailin pulled her back to the bedroom.
Lu Huailin took his wife's hand and slapped it against his face, saying, "Wife, hit me a couple of times to vent your anger. You can't get sick from getting so angry."
"It's all my fault. I didn't hear what that crazy woman said. Otherwise, I would have slapped her twice without you even having to go in."
Frustrated, Gu Yihan pulled her hand away, threw off the covers, got into bed, covered her head, and let tears stream down her face.
She really didn't expect that a sister-in-law could be so difficult to get along with; no wonder women decades later are reluctant to get married.
Who would want to put up with this jerk?
Hearing his wife sobbing, Lu Huailin felt terrible and picked her up, blanket and all, saying, "I'm sorry, wife, we won't be coming back anymore."
I don't know if it's because of pregnancy, but my tear ducts are particularly active.
She couldn't stop crying, so she simply gave up and started wailing loudly.
Since you're all making my life miserable, then you shouldn't have it any better either.
Lu Huailin pulled back the blanket and cupped Gu Yihan's face in his hands: "Don't cry, it's all my fault, I didn't hear you clearly."
Gu Yihan turned her head to the side, opened her mouth, and just cried without saying a word. Her crying could be heard throughout the entire second floor.
"Thump, thump, thump."
Lu's mother stood anxiously at the bedroom door, knocking as she asked, "Huailin, did you and Xiaohan have a fight?"
Helpless, Lu Huailin opened the door and looked at his mother: "Mom, we didn't argue."
Lu's mother pushed Lu Huailin aside and walked to the bedside, looking at Gu Yihan's red and swollen eyes with heartache.
He asked in a low voice, "Xiaohan, what's wrong? Tell Mom, and I'll stand up for you."
Gu Yihan cried and threw herself into Lu's mother's arms: "Mom, my sister-in-law said that my brother divorced him for my sake."
"If word gets out, how can I ever face anyone again!"
Mother Lu's face turned cold. She gently patted Gu Yihan's back and said through gritted teeth, "That troublemaker."
"Good child, don't cry, it's not good for the child, Mom will stand up for you."
Gu Yihan stopped crying, tears still glistening in her eyes, and rested her head on her mother's shoulder: "I knew Mom loved me the most."
Lu Huailin watched his wife's actions, and his eyes twitched involuntarily.
Lu's mother, however, was quite receptive to this and gently patted her daughter-in-law's back.
Gu Yihan was exhausted from crying and fell asleep soon after.
Seeing this, Lu Huailin walked to his mother's side and whispered, "Mom, my wife is asleep."
Lu's mother, however, felt a great sense of accomplishment. She glared at her youngest son and said disdainfully, "You can't even appease your own wife. You're nothing."
Lu Huailin: "..."
