"Xiao Man, it's good that you're here. You look so thin. Don't think about anything when you get home. Eat well and sleep well. Taking good care of your body is the most important thing."
"Yes, Xiaoman, your mother has been worried sick these days since you last had any news. She has been lying in bed for many days and has lost a lot of weight. This time you come, you must stay longer and spend more time with your mother."
Listening to the sweet words of her aunts, Zhu Xiaoman recalled the two years she had spent in the Wang family. From top to bottom, no one in the Wang family treated her well. Everyone could boss her around. They thought that she was married far away, had no family to support her, and had no job, so they looked down on her.
How stupid! She had such a good life to live, and she didn't want to be a good person. Instead, she chose to work like a slave for a man who was not worthy of her, and had to be humble and servile to make a living.
Xiaoman nodded vigorously to the aunts, then followed her mother into the yard.
The military wives also knew that the family must have a lot to talk about, so they did not go in to disturb them and went back to their own homes.
After closing the courtyard door, Aunt Zhao led her daughter into the house. As soon as they entered, they saw Wang Jingye coming out of the kitchen at the back, carrying a plate of food. When he saw Xiaoman, his eyes lit up, "Xiaoman, you're finally here."
However, Zhu Xiaoman did not show the surprised expression he expected, nor did he say anything, but just looked at him with cold eyes.
Aunt Zhao looked at Wang Jingye as if he were an enemy, and suppressed the urge to go up and beat the bastard with the sole of her shoe.
"Ignore him and come with me to the house." Aunt Zhao pulled her daughter to the house, leaving her husband to deal with this ungrateful person.
Seeing his wife and daughter enter the room and the door slam shut, Zhu Shengli finally spoke to Wang Jingye, "Wang Jingye, let me ask you, how did Xiaoman leave the Wang family?"
Wang Jingye's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed that Xiaoman must have said something.
"Did Xiaoman say something?" Wang Jingye asked.
Zhu Shengli stared at Wang Jingye, his face cold and oppressive. "Don't worry about what Xiaoman said. I just want to ask you, how did Xiaoman leave home?"
Wang Jingye felt very resentful towards Zhu Xiaoman. How could he tell his father-in-law and mother-in-law about such a thing? It made his life so difficult. He was so ignorant.
Suppressing his unhappiness, Wang Jingye spoke carefully, "Dad, Xiaoman and I are both wrong in this matter. Xiaoman shouldn't have quarreled with the elders in the family, and I shouldn't have said such angry words in anger. I promise I won't do it again in the future. Xiaoman and I will live a good life."
Even now, he still refuses to tell the truth and avoids the important issues.
Zhu Shengli snorted coldly, "If a man doesn't even dare to admit what he did, is he still a man?"
Wang Jingye's expression changed, "Dad?"
"Don't call me dad, I'm not your dad. Xiaoman won't break up with you, let's get a divorce." Zhu Shengli said interruptingly.
Wang Jingye didn't expect to hear the word divorce from his wife, so he subconsciously retorted, "No, Xiaoman and I will not divorce. Xiaoman can't live without me, and I can't live without her."
"You can't leave Xiaoman?" Zhu Shengli felt like he'd just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. "So how have you been living these past few months since Xiaoman left your Wang family? Have you looked for Xiaoman? Have you called the number Xiaoman left in your notebook? Don't tell me you're so busy all day you don't even have time to call."
Wang Jingye was at a loss for words.
Zhu Shengli continued, "I didn't file for divorce. Xiaoman filed for it herself. She's completely disappointed with you and doesn't want to live with you anymore. Coincidentally, you don't have any children, so we can just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and complete the paperwork and get divorced cleanly."
"No!" Wang Shengli refused without a second thought. "I won't agree to a divorce. I don't believe Xiaoman wants to divorce me. I want to hear it from her own mouth."
Aunt Zhao, who had been eavesdropping in the house, couldn't stand it any longer. She flung open the door, strode out, pointed at Wang Shengli's nose and cursed, "You don't agree? What qualifications do you have to say no! My good daughter married into your Wang family and suffered so much abuse from you that she almost lost her life. And you still have the nerve to say no? Pah, what a piece of shit."
