Wu Qin's eyes widened. "What did you say? Say it again!"
Qi Guoqiang was very calm, as calm as ever before, "Divorce."
"Just because I went to see your father today, you want to divorce me? Who am I doing this for? I'm doing this for Weidong so that he can have a future and so that this family can live well, and yet you want to divorce me? Qi Guoqiang, do you have any conscience?"
"Isn't this family wrong?" Qi Guoqiang stared at Wu Qin. "Is your status as the wife of the Deputy Director of the Forestry Bureau an insult to you, Wu Qin? Just what kind of wealthy and prestigious family is your Wu family? What kind of status is worthy of you, Wu Qin?"
Wu Qin's heart trembled, "You, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Qi Guoqiang sneered, "Am I talking nonsense? I see you've been living in the past few years and have forgotten everything. You've even forgotten what the Wu family's ancestors were like. Do you really think you're a respectable person? You look down on me? Do you deserve it?"
At this moment, Wu Qin felt as if Qi Guoqiang had violently torn off her face, thrown it on the ground and stomped on it several times.
She recalled the days before she married Qi Guoqiang. Her husband was gone, so she took her daughter Qi Xin to her parents' home. What kind of face could a widow get from her parents' home? Her sister-in-law smashed pots in front of her every day. Even if she paid her living expenses, she still looked down on her.
The Wu family is an ordinary working-class family. Although everyone has a job, they live a tight life and are not as decent and prosperous as they appear on the surface.
By chance, she met Qi Guoqiang, who had just lost his wife at that time. He was a battalion commander at a young age and was tall and handsome. She fell in love with him at first sight and used many tricks to marry him as she wished.
In order to gain face in her parents' home, she would take money and things to her parents' home from time to time to show her filial piety. The Wu family became better and better thanks to her filial piety. Everyone flattered her, and she received countless envious glances wherever she went.
Later, she became the wife of the deputy head of the regiment, and then the wife of the head of the regiment. Her house became bigger and bigger, Qi Guoqiang gave her more and more money, and her ambition grew.
Being used to seeing the beautiful scenery and being a superior person, how could one endure the gap between falling from the clouds to the earth?
So the title of wife of the deputy director of the Forestry Bureau means nothing to her.
But if Qi Guoqiang divorces her, what will become of her?
"I won't divorce you. If you want to divorce me, I'll have to die." Wu Qin's face gradually became ferocious, and she looked at Qi Guoqiang fiercely, "Don't even think about getting rid of me, not in this life."
Qi Guoqiang had expected this outcome. With Wu Qin's greed, how could she possibly be willing to divorce him? If they didn't divorce, she would still be the deputy director's wife. Once they divorced, she would be nothing.
"If you don't want a divorce, then just live an honest life. If you dare to do it again, it won't be a question of whether you want it or not. I have plenty of ways to make you go away."
Wu Qin's heart trembled again, and the Qi Guoqiang in front of her seemed even more unfamiliar.
Finally, she said nothing more and went to the kitchen.
Qi Guoqiang sat in his chair, looking at the empty, cold living room. He suddenly remembered his childhood. Every time his father came home, he would bring him and his sister gifts and treats. Sometimes it was bamboo dragonflies and fermented rice cakes from southern Taiwan, sometimes sesame candies and bamboo bows from Sichuan. He would also bring gifts for his mother to cheer her up. Only then could he see a smile on his mother's face, no longer nagging day and night.
When he was young, he had always lived with his mother's complaints and nagging, so much so that he lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong and thought that his father was the kind of heartless and cruel man his mother described.
Now that I think about it, my father never treated my mother and two children badly. He treated them very well, better than most men.
