Chapter 237 I Don’t Want to Divorce
"Stop, stop..." Yu's mother grabbed Zhao Changying's hand that was stopping her and cried loudly. Seeing her son being beaten like this, her heart was torn.
"Wow, dad, don't hit my dad." You Xiaobao was frightened and cried out.
Seeing that the fight was almost over, Gu Pingshan raised his hand and shouted to stop.
The three brothers of the Gu family each threw another punch before stopping, and at the end they spat at You Shengxing.
The three brothers punched and kicked You Shengxing. There were no injuries on his face, but his glasses were crooked, his hair was messy, his face was covered with dust when he was pressed to the ground, and his white shirt turned black. He looked very embarrassed.
"Shengxing, Shengxing..." Mother You ran to You Shengxing's side, helped him up distressedly, and then looked at the Gu family angrily, "Bandits, you are simply bandits, I will report you to the police."
Father You also walked to his son's side and glared at the Gu family angrily.
They are really going too far. How can they hit people?
Zhao Changying said confidently, "Go, hurry up and report your family member You Shengxing's marriage fraud to the police."
"You..." Yu's mother immediately backed down.
"You Shengxing, tell me yourself, did you deserve the beating?" Gu Jiang asked, staring at You Shengxing.
You Shengxing's mind was in a mess, and he had no idea how they knew all this, but he also knew that he did not deserve the beating he received.
"It's not unfair, it's not unfair." He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I was wrong, but there is a misunderstanding here. Let's go home and talk."
"Is there any misunderstanding? Please explain it clearly in front of everyone." Gu Hongmei looked at You Shengxing with a cold face.
"Hongmei." The latter looked at her with pleading eyes.
"Don't call me." Gu Hongmei scolded coldly.
At home, he always called her "that guy" or "Hey", and at the factory he called her Xiao Gu. These names sounded like calling a nanny or an employee, but not like calling a wife.
She used to always want him to call her Hongmei, but now that he did, she just felt disgusted.
It was the first time that You Shengxing was scolded with disgust by his soft-hearted wife, and he felt bitter in his heart.
"We've thoroughly investigated this matter. There's not a single misunderstanding." Zhao Changying waved her hand. "Today we're here to discuss two matters: divorce and settling accounts."
"I won't get a divorce." You Shengxing said firmly.
He looked at Gu Hongmei with pleading eyes and said, "Hongmei, let's not get divorced, okay? I know I've let you down. I will definitely treat you twice as well in the future and make it up to you."
He didn't want to divorce Gu Hongmei, not because of the children or anything else, but because he just didn't want to.
Although he didn't marry her out of love and had some calculations when they got married, after being together for so many years, he has become accustomed to her presence.
These past two days, whenever he thought about the days without her, his heart became anxious and confused.
"My sister doesn't want you. You can't even have children. Why does my sister need you?" Gu Jiang looked at her with disdain.
"That's right." Gu Hai agreed.
You Shengxing: “…”
Seeing her son being insulted by the Gu family, Mother You felt very upset. She grabbed her son's hand and said, "Son, divorce her. She brought her family to beat you up like this. Why are you still begging her? Let's divorce her."
Yu's father also said angrily: "It has become like this. We can't live like this anymore. It's better to get a divorce."
The Gu family has caused such a fuss, but they are still reluctant to divorce. They are too stubborn.
"Dad, Mom..." You Shengxing bit his back teeth in pain. He didn't want to get divorced.
Mother You stared at Gu Hongmei and continued, "Let's see what kind of man she can find after she divorces him."
Zhao Changying: "Don't bother with that. Our youngest brother has been promoted to the head of a regiment. He has already told Hongmei to get a divorce and come find him. He has already found a job for her and even said he would find her an officer."
Many people exclaimed "Wow" when they heard that Gu Hongmei's brother was promoted to regiment leader. A regiment leader is a very high official, on the same level as a county magistrate.
Yu's mother sneered, "How could an officer be interested in a divorced country woman?"
It's ridiculous that she's just a slut and still wants to marry an officer.
Zhao Changyin retorted, "Whether the officer will be attracted to my Hongmei is hard to say, but it is certain that no woman would be attracted to a son like you who cannot have children."
“…” Mother You choked and felt a pain in her chest due to anger.
Gu Pingshan said: "Since your family agrees to the divorce, let's settle the accounts now."
"What are you settling?" Yu's mother scolded, "If you want a divorce, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get a divorce certificate. Then tell your daughter to get out of my house with all her belongings."
Zhao Changying sneered, "You're dreaming. Your son cheated on my daughter and ruined her life for so many years. You think a divorce is the end of it? Are you dreaming?"
"So what does your family want?" asked You's father.
"Your son must compensate my girl."
"After all, you just want money, right?" Yu's mother sneered and glanced at the Gu family with disdain.
Zhao Changying didn't get angry. She looked at the neighbors and said, "Everyone, please judge for yourself. My innocent daughter was deceived into marriage by You Shengxing. If it weren't for him, my daughter would have found a good partner with a formal job, and now we have a son and a daughter, living a happy life."
"It's because of him that my daughter has been harmed like this. I don't know how much hardship and suffering she's endured over the years just to have a child. Should You Shengxing make compensation?"
The neighbors thought about it and felt that what Zhao Changying said made sense. Although You Shengxing had good conditions, Gu Hongmei did not enjoy his blessings after marrying him. She was a formal employee in a garment factory before getting married.
Since she got married, she has been the only one taking care of everything at home and outside. The old couple of the Yu family don't care about anything. Moreover, because of the children, she is disliked by Yu's mother, gossiped about, and cannot hold her head up in front of outsiders.
Even if she gets divorced, she can still find a good partner with the help of her brother, but it will still be different.
"It's indeed due compensation."
"If divorce is enough, then what does everything Hongmei has gone through matter?"
“That’s right…”
The former union chairman of the garment factory, who had retired from the union, stood upstairs and listened for a long time. He came down and looked at the You family and said, "You Shengxing was wrong in this matter. It's your family who has wronged the girl. Compensation and apology are only natural. You family needs to correct your attitude and stop being unreasonable and mocking others."
The last sentence was obviously directed at Yu's mother. When she heard this, her face turned red.
The union chairman continued looking at You Shengxing and said, "You Shengxing, I've always felt that you were highly conscious and upright, which is why I voted for you during the factory director election. I never thought I'd be wrong about retirement."
You Shengxing was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head.
"Since the girl is determined to divorce you and no longer likes you, you should stop pestering her and save some dignity for yourself."
You Shengxing looked at Gu Hongmei and nodded with difficulty.
