Chapter 222: Escape from the Sea of Suffering
Lai Fu is too rustic, Xiao Hei is too ordinary, Lin An An decides to fight with them for the right to name the child, even though she herself is also a bad namer...
"I think we should be more democratic and let the dogs choose their own names."
"Eh? Sister-in-law, can it choose by itself?
"Of course."
Lin Anan took a piece of paper, tore it into three pieces, wrote three names on each, folded them into small squares, placed them in three directions, and then put the puppy in the middle.
"Let it choose for itself, and call the one it chooses."
"Great~"
Lin Anan clapped her hands, and the puppy really started running, sniffing here and there, and finally bit a small piece of paper.
I opened it and saw: dumplings.
Lin Anan's eyes curved and she coughed lightly, "It's destined to be the biggest. From now on, it will be called Tuanzi."
Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu looked at each other and found it very magical. "Okay, let's call her Tuanzi. Tuanzi sounds nice too."
Lin Anan nodded and explained, "Look at it, it's round, just like a meat dumpling, and I hope our family can be together, so I gave it this name."
"Hello Tuanyuan, its name is Tuantuan, and we will raise another one named Yuanyuan later." Chu Mingyu clapped his hands and his eyes turned into crescent moons when he smiled.
Lin Anan: “…”
The little dumpling seemed to sense that everyone was talking about it. It walked around them wagging its tail and making cheerful "woof woof" sounds.
"Tuanzi will be a member of our family from now on, so please take good care of him." Lin Anan smiled and touched Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu's heads.
"We will, sister-in-law!" the two children answered in unison, their eyes full of love for the little dumpling.
You know what, with this little thing at home, it feels so lively.
In the afternoon.
Lin Anan was writing a new book when there was another hurried knock on the door.
“Here I come.”
It turned out to be Hu Xiumei, whom I hadn't seen for some time.
Hu Xiumei put on makeup today and looked very energetic and fashionable than usual. However, no matter how thick her makeup was, it could not hide the fatigue under her eyes.
"Sister Xiumei."
"An An, I finally got divorced, just this morning..."
After she said one sentence, Hu Xiumei's voice began to tear up.
Lin Anan welcomed the person in, poured her a cup of tea, and whispered to comfort her: "This is a good thing! Congratulations to Sister Xiumei for escaping from the sea of suffering."
Hu Xiumei took the teacup, her hands trembling slightly. After taking a sip of tea, her mood stabilized a little, "It's a good thing."
Lin Anan patted her on the back gently, signaling her not to be anxious and to talk slowly if she had something to say.
"On the day the evidence was submitted, Xu Wenbo was taken away by police officers from the Public Security Bureau. They took him directly to the bus company and arrested him in full view of everyone. It was such a relief!
Now the evidence is irrefutable. He is destined to be shot. I am relieved for the rest of my life."
"Well, that's how it should be."
"An An, you don't know how cruel Xu Wenbo is. Even if he dies, he wants to drag me down with him. The divorce process is too difficult. He won't agree no matter what, and he still wants me to take the blame for him."
Lin Anan frowned, her eyes full of disgust, "Sister Xiumei, it's a blessing in disguise that you can get rid of him."
Hu Xiumei's eyes were red and tears welled up in her eyes. "Yes, actually I am still a little scared, and..."
Lin Anan held Hu Xiumei's hand tightly and encouraged her, "Sister Xiumei, don't be afraid. He has been arrested by the police now, so he can't cause any trouble. Besides, you are divorced, so what he did has nothing to do with you."
Hu Xiumei shook her head. "There are still a bunch of Xu family members waiting for me to deal with at home. I will go back soon and drive all these bastards out of my house!"
"ah?"
Lin Anan gets a headache when she thinks of that fat auntie...
Arrogant, aggressive, self-righteous and unreasonable.
What's more, Xu Wenbo, whom she regarded as the apple of her eye, was arrested and the marriage was divorced. Could she let Hu Xiumei go?
Lin Anan looked at Hu Xiumei and asked, "You haven't been home for a while, right?"
"Well, I'm living at my uncle's house now. I'm really happy and I don't know who to tell, so I came to you to tell you the good news."
The word "announce the good news" is not wrong.
"Are you going home soon?"
"Well, we're divorced, so the Xu family can't continue living in my house."
"You're alone? Are you sure you can drive them away?"
After Lin Anan finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment.
Lin Anan was not talking nonsense. With Hu Xiumei's small body, I think a single blow from the fat aunt would have nearly killed her...
"Don't let your efforts fail at the last moment."
Hu Xiumei was amused by her. "You're right. I guess I was too happy and didn't think about it at all. With my mother-in-law's look, she could really fight me to the death."
"It's my ex-mother-in-law."
"Yes, ex-mother-in-law."
"Sister Xiumei, don't you have a cousin who is a member of society?"
Hu Xiumei understood and nodded repeatedly, but she hesitated for a moment, "No, my cousin has a hot temper and might start a fight. If my ex-mother-in-law gets on with it, it would really harm my cousin."
Lin Anan frowned slightly and thought for a moment. "Since you can't ask your cousin for help, you can ask other people for help. For example, do you have a neighbor or friend who has a good relationship with you? At least they can help you build momentum."
Hu Xiumei bit her lip and thought for a moment. "As for my neighbors, I don't interact with them very often, so I don't think it would be convenient to trouble them. I do have a few friends, but they are all rather timid and may not be willing to get involved in this matter."
"Have you reported this situation to the community? Maybe the community can provide you with some help."
Hu Xiumei sighed again, "I don't think the people in the community can help me. My colleague at work is in a good relationship with my ex-mother-in-law!"
Lin Anan was speechless and felt very sad.
Hu Xiumei is now an orphan, and there is no one to support her family. She can't ask her relatives for everything, right? They will get annoyed.
"How many people from the Xu family are still in your house?"
"Seven."
"ah?"
Hu Xiumei pursed her lips. "Originally it was Xu Wenbo's mother and sister, but after the New Year...his cousin and his family came to live with us, saying they also wanted to settle down in the Northwest. They had no place to live temporarily, so he arranged for them all to stay in my house."
Lin Anan: “…”
These people really eat and take things at the same time without any courtesy.
"I listened to you recently and didn't go back. I focused on collecting evidence, reporting, and getting a divorce."
Lin Anan pondered for a while, then waved to Hu Xiumei, "Sister Xiumei, I have a way, but you still have to ask your cousin for help. In the end, you can report to the police depending on the situation..."
"How?"
Hu Xiumei leaned in closer, her eyes brightened the more she listened, and she nodded immediately, "Then I'll arrange it now, but how should this contract be written to be safe?"
"I'm good at this. I'll write you a sample."
