Chapter 178 If It Were Me, I Would Divorce
"Your An An is very obedient. I'm afraid he won't be too far away from home when he goes to the countryside in the future." Yang Hongmei looked at the little An An and thought of the things in the family quarters.
Lin Xia glanced at the little girl who had just turned five years old. She was still a long way from growing up and leaving home. Moreover, the policy of going to the countryside would be cancelled in a few years, and universities would be resumed by then.
"It's still far away, why are you talking about going to the countryside?" Lin Xia rarely went out and didn't know what was going on outside.
"Well, it's so hard to find a job now, and you're not allowed to go to school. Now everyone is promoting going to the countryside.
The family quarters were very busy, and many children had not found jobs. The street office sent notices directly to the door, so we had to go even if we didn’t want to. "Yang Hongmei explained.
Lin Xia couldn't have imagined that semi-forced going to the countryside has already begun. If she hadn't had the blind date earlier, she would probably have been in the countryside by now.
After chatting for a while, Yang Hongmei was in a hurry to go home to cook. Lin Xia stuffed some seafood into her hands, and Yang Hongmei accepted it without hesitation. She turned around and went home to bring back a basket of vegetables.
Lin Xia didn't hesitate to exchange words. The little guy was clamoring to eat seafood noodles. The weather was hot and he didn't want to eat dry and hot rice. Lin Xia made it last time, and Lu Yuxiu and the little guy loved it.
Lin Xia taught Wang Guilan the method, and they had a delicious meal at noon. Because they cooked the seafood late today, and worried that she would have nothing to eat when she returned home, Lin Xia asked Wang Guilan to stay and eat before going home.
Wang Guilan used to cook home-cooked meals, but the last time Lin Xia cooked, it opened her eyes. The food she brought home was so delicious that her family thought she bought it from a state-owned restaurant.
Now she saw that the seafood that was fed to chickens and ducks in the village had become delicious, which refreshed her cognition. She didn't expect that these fishy and not filling things could become so delicious. She decided to show off her cooking skills to her family when she returned.
In the afternoon, Lin Xia was thinking about how to find an excuse to go to the bookstore to bring back books, when she heard a knock on the door.
"Who?" Lin Xia asked vigilantly.
"Comrade Lin, it's me, Su Qiuhua." A woman's voice came from outside the door. If she didn't give her name, Lin Xia would almost forget who she was.
Lin Xia opened the door but didn't let her in. She looked at the other person's sallow face and asked in a soft voice, "Comrade Su, is there anything I can do for you?"
Su Qiuhua was exhausted. Other people in the family area talked about her behind her back. After thinking about it, she realized that she had no one to talk to. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Lin Xia.
Although she was very embarrassed by what happened to Old Lady Zhou before, after Lin Xia rejected her apology last time, she felt that Lin Xia was different, at least in the family area.
"Can I go in and talk?" Su Qiuhua spoke nervously, with a hint of request in his tone.
Seeing the bruises under her eyes and the despair in her eyes, Lin Xia thought for a moment and let her into the house, but left the yard door half open.
After entering the room, Lin Xia poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her, then sat opposite her and waited for her to speak.
Su Qiuhua seemed a little nervous. When she picked up the water cup, she saw fruit particles floating in the cup. They were bright yellow and she could smell a hint of fruity fragrance.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw a little girl lying on a mat in the corner of the living room, writing and drawing on a notebook, looking serious and cute.
"She shouldn't be your daughter, right?" Su Qiuhua said softly. She knew it was rude to say this, but she asked anyway.
Without waiting for Lin Xia to answer, he continued, "Last time...Last time when I went back, I wanted him to go for a check-up, but he got furious and we had a big fight."
Su Qiuhua trembled all over when she thought of this quarrel.
Seeing that she was in a bad mental state, Lin Xia frowned slightly and asked, "Did he hit you?"
Su Qiuhua was startled and looked up. Seeing Lin Xia's concerned look, her eyes felt hot for some reason. She said softly, "This is... the first time. He might be too excited, so..."
Lin Xia frowned when she saw that it was true. If there is a first time for domestic violence, there will be a second time. No matter what the reason is, regardless of others, a man who can beat his own wife can only be regarded as a scumbag.
"If there is one, there will be another. Men with unstable emotions are the scariest." Lin Xia said seriously. He didn't mean anything else by saying this, but he just couldn't stand men who beat women.
Su Qiuhua was shocked by her words. When her family found out, they just advised her not to quarrel. She couldn't have children, so did she want a divorce? Besides, there were many people who beat and scolded their children these days.
But she felt like an angry little beast in her heart, and she couldn't get out of the cage no matter what. This quarrel was just because she asked him to check it as well, and he got furious and attacked her, which made her a little dazed. Is this man really her husband?
"What should we do then?" Su Qiuhua murmured in a daze.
Lin Xia didn't want to meddle in other people's business. If it was just a normal emotional dispute, she would definitely keep silent. However, domestic violence was unforgivable. She said seriously, "If it were me, I would divorce. It just so happens that we don't have children."
To be honest, not having children before might have been a disadvantage, but now it has become an advantage. Lin Xia doesn't know who has the health problem, but at least this way the divorce will not be a burden.
"Divorce?...Divorce..." Su Qiuhua widened his eyes, his gaze began to wander, and he whispered something.
Lin Xia had said this and didn't say any more. If she wasn't angry about domestic violence, she wouldn't have said even that one sentence.
Seeing that Su Qiuhua was distracted, Lin Xia did not disturb her and picked up the ideological book to read. When Su Qiuhua came to her senses, she saw this scene.
The woman held a book in one hand and placed the other on her belly. Her expression was calm and gentle. Even the hair hanging on her shoulders seemed to reveal a bit of charm, like a painting. Su Qiuhua was stunned by the sight.
He drank the water in the cup in one breath, chewed the fruit inside and tasted a hint of sweetness. Su Qiuhua's eyes became determined and he stood up to say goodbye.
Lin Xia put down the book and sent her out without saying anything.
When Lu Yuxiu went to the camp, he happened to meet Captain Zhou. He remembered what Lin Xia said about Zhou Haiyang, so he told her about it.
When Captain Zhou heard that his son was hanging out with those people, his brows furrowed deeply and his face turned very dark. He instinctively didn't want to believe it, but these words came from Lu Yuxiu's mouth, and he was not the kind of person who gossiped.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yuxiu was worried that he would cause a family war when he returned, so he kindly advised: "Boys are very proud. There may be something wrong. Talk to him properly."
Captain Zhou walked home with a gloomy face. Lu Yuxiu didn't know if he had listened to him or not. After thinking for a while, he said, "Hain't Haiyang always wanted to join the army? Why don't we let him try?"
Hearing this, Captain Zhou also wanted to do the same thing, but the superiors were still streamlining the troops, and it was not easy to join the army, so it was difficult for him to make arrangements.
The kid at home had been making a lot of noise about joining the army before, but unexpectedly, he calmed down for a while and actually went to join those people.
