Chapter 225 I Want a Divorce
Qian Lan didn't expect that a salary of 15 yuan could not even impress her mother. She left her home to come to work and told Yu Hui about it when she got home.
Yu Hui didn't expect that Qian Lan's mother didn't want to come, thinking that this aunt didn't care about money.
"How about asking your Gu Huai's mother to come?" Qian Lan looked at Yu Hui and suggested.
Yu Hui shook her head. "She has to stay home to take care of her mother-in-law and can't come."
Qian Lan thought for a moment and said, "There are so many people in your Gu Huai's hometown, it would be fine to let his sister-in-law and niece come up."
Unlike her, who has a small family, her mother is the only suitable person.
Yu Hui frowned and thought for a moment, "I'll discuss this with Gu Huai when he gets home from get off work."
Gu Huai got off work early today and arrived home at 5:20.
While eating, Yu Hui mentioned that she wanted to invite someone from her hometown to come up and help.
Gu Huai thought for a moment as he mixed the noodles, "My sister-in-law and the others definitely don't want to be separated from my brother and his family. Qiuyue is married, Qiuye is studying, and the only suitable person is Qiuyu. But Qiuyu works at the town supply and marketing cooperative, a formal job. She may not be willing to give it up to work in a noodle shop."
After all, the supply and marketing cooperative is close to home and the work is quite easy.
Yu Hui pondered and said, "You should call home tomorrow and ask if anyone is willing to come up and help. Twenty yuan a month."
Fifteen dollars was paid from the public account, and the remaining five dollars was paid by herself.
"Okay." Gu Huai nodded.
A family of five was having a warm dinner, but something big happened at the Gu family a hundred miles away.
Gu Hongmei sat on the stool, crying.
Gu Pingshan frowned and puffed on his tobacco leaf cigarette, while Zhao Changying wiped her daughter's tears with a distressed look.
The three Gu Jiang brothers also had gloomy expressions on their faces. Zheng Rong and Tian Ying looked at their sister-in-law with sympathy. Only Wang Mei had the corners of her mouth turned up, as if she was gloating.
Gu Qiuyu and her two younger brothers were cooking in the kitchen.
The old lady of the Gu family has caught a cold these past two days and is sleeping in the house. Zhao Changying and the others did not dare to let the old lady know about this, for fear that she would be angry and something bad would happen to her.
After all, apart from Gu Huai, the old lady loves this granddaughter the most.
"Second brother, third brother." Gu Jiang stood up.
Gu He and Gu Hai, who were named, also stood up.
"Grab your weapons and go settle the score with that bastard You Xingsheng."
Gu He wanted to follow his elder brother, but Wang Mei grabbed him and glared at him.
"Stop." Gu Pingshan called out to his three sons.
He turned to look at his crying daughter and asked, "Hongmei, what do you think about this?"
Gu Hongmei sobbed and said, "Dad, I can't accept it. I want to divorce You Xingsheng."
When they heard that she wanted a divorce, everyone in the room was shocked. Gu Pingshan frowned and started smoking, as if he was thinking.
When Wang Mei heard her sister-in-law wanted a divorce, she was shocked at first, but then she advised, "Hongmei, you can't have children, so it's a good thing that your brother-in-law brought a child home. The child is your brother-in-law's biological child, and if you help raise him, the You family will remember your kindness and won't dare to give you a hard time anymore."
"Shut up." Zhao Changying threw the handkerchief in her hand directly at Wang Mei's face and glared at her fiercely.
Hongmei is already feeling upset enough, and she still says such things. Isn't this like stabbing Hongmei in the heart?
Wang Mei shrank back. She felt humiliated to be scolded by her mother-in-law in front of so many people at home, so she stiffened her neck and said, "I'm not wrong. If Hongmei was fertile, she would have had a child long ago. So what if she divorced her brother-in-law? If she remarried, she still wouldn't be able to have children. Instead of divorcing and remarrying and then adopting a child, she might as well live a good life with her brother-in-law and raise his child."
"My brother-in-law and his family will also remember Hongmei's kindness and treat her well. As long as Hongmei treats the child well, the child will definitely be able to take care of Hongmei in her old age."
Zhao Changying's face flushed with anger. "Wang Mei, if you don't shut your stinky mouth, I'll use a needle to sew your stinky mouth shut."
Wang Mei pursed her lips and looked at her sister-in-law and said, "Hongmei, this is also for your own good."
"Shut up." Gu He pulled her fiercely.
After hearing what her second sister-in-law said, Tian Ying felt that she was right.
Instead of getting divorced, it would be better to be a mother and raise the child so that you can have a child to support you in your old age, right?
She was unable to give birth to a child in the first place, and You Xingsheng only found out that the mother of his child had given birth to his child six years after they broke up. This cannot be considered as cheating.
If they divorced because of this, You Xingsheng was well-off and it would be easy for him to marry another woman, but what about her?
She can't have children and is divorced. Not only can she not find a good partner, but she is also being criticized by others.
Divorce is a very shameful thing in rural areas.
Many women, unable to make ends meet, would rather jump into a well, hang themselves, or eat rat poison than ask for a divorce.
Gu Hongmei knew that what her second sister-in-law said made sense, and she also knew that it was her own fault that she had not given birth to a child for the You family in all these years.
Although You Xingsheng hadn't blamed her over the years, the gossip and strange looks from the factory workers and neighbors, the disapproval from her in-laws, the daily prescriptions she had to take to conceive, and the coldness and indifference beneath You Xingsheng's seemingly tolerant and gentle demeanor were all overwhelming.
Outsiders all said that she married a good man and that You Xingsheng was a good person, but they never knew how You Xingsheng treated her.
He never got angry with her, scolded her, or hit her, but at home he was always cold to her, not communicating with her, and even unwilling to give her a glance.
When she spoke to him, all she got in response was "Uh-huh, oh."
When they have sex, it's just like a routine, without any warmth or affection.
It made her feel uncomfortable and felt that they were not like a couple.
It was not until yesterday when You Xingsheng brought five-year-old Xiaobao home that he understood why he was so indifferent to him.
Because the person in his heart has always been his first love.
Her current life already made her feel depressed enough. She couldn't help him raise his first love's child, and she had to live her whole life under his indifference and neglect. Just thinking about it made her feel suffocated.
So she must divorce.
"Second sister-in-law, I know you're trying to persuade me this for my own good, but I still want a divorce. I don't want to help You Shengxing raise his children, and I can't live with him anymore."
Wang Mei: "If you can't live with your brother-in-law, who's such a good man, then what kind of person can you live with?"
Gu Hongmei sniffed and said, "If you leave me, I won't get married. I'll live alone for the rest of my life."
It is better to live alone for a lifetime than to be ignored and indifferent when she is a living person.
After the divorce, she doesn't have to feel sorry for anyone or inferior to anyone just because she didn't give birth to a child.
Tian Ying frowned and said, "Life after a divorce isn't that easy. You already work in a garment factory, and You Xingsheng is the factory director. How can you still work there after a divorce?"
Gu Hongmei didn't want to continue working with You Xingsheng after the divorce. "I'll sell my job and take the money to my fourth brother. I'll ask him to help me find a job in the city that can support myself."
As long as you are not at home, you won’t hear gossip and people won’t point fingers at you.
Her work at the garment factory is quite rewarding, so selling her clothes for seven or eight hundred yuan is no problem, as many people want to buy them.
