Chapter 21 Divorced and Free
Zhou Ping was afraid of wasting it, so she drank the bowl of ant egg drop soup in one gulp, then rushed over and protected Xu Shaojun behind her like a hen protecting her chicks.
"Zhong Qiao, do you still have the nerve to come back?"
She bared her teeth and looked fierce.
"Don't think that our Xu family is afraid of you. My Ah Shao doesn't want you and can divorce you completely right now! When the time comes, you will have a burden to bear, so don't cry and beg for remarriage!"
Zhong Qiao gave a meaningful smile: "Okay."
She stepped aside to let the stern woman behind her out.
"Comrade, you heard it too. The Xu family also wants to divorce me."
Xu Lili and Xu Shaojun were both stunned.
However, the staff recorded what they saw and heard, and the divorce was a foregone conclusion. With Zhou Ping's further instigation, the process went even more smoothly, saving Zhong Qiao from wasting his breath.
Looking at the past month since Zhong Qiao left the Xu family, not only was she not as miserable as she had imagined, but she was actually looking bright and beautiful.
Xu Lili tugged at Xu Shaojun's sleeves stealthily and whispered, "Second brother, are you really getting a divorce?"
Although she said this, her eyes clearly showed her unwillingness.
The cabbage and tofu stew she ate during this period made her want to vomit. In the end, Xu Lili even missed the kindness of her sister-in-law Zhong Qiao.
No matter how unworthy Zhong Qiao is to his second brother, there are at least two things about him: one is that Zhong Qiao can manage the Xu family, and the other is that Zhong Qiao can make money.
With Zhong Qiao leading the charge, the Xu family didn't have to worry about anything. After Zhong Qiao returned to her parents' home, the house was in a mess and they couldn't even have a clean meal.
Xu Shaojun stared at Zhong Qiao and whispered, "Bu Li, do you want others to laugh at our family?"
Ever since I came back from the hospital last time, the divorce news has spread everywhere.
He was confident that Zhong Qiao was soft-hearted and would reconcile with him for the sake of their son, so he harbored malicious intentions and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to publicize the matter to crush the last bit of Zhong Qiao's self-esteem and make her stay at home to take care of the children for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, he made a mistake.
He thought of a thousand ways to humiliate Zhong Qiao, and even thought that Zhong Qiao would shamelessly apologize to him and kneel down for the sake of their son. However, Zhong Qiao really wanted to divorce him.
Xu Lili's voice was a little tearful: "Brother, I don't want to eat the food our mother cooks. It's too disgusting."
Her voice suddenly dropped.
"If it really doesn't work, you can stabilize this sister-in-law first. We can look for a better one while we can. Once we find a better new sister-in-law, we can kick Zhong Qiao out."
"Now you know she is your sister-in-law?"
Xu Shaojun glanced at her coldly.
"Back in the hospital, I told you and Mom to get up and not make such a big fuss. Are you satisfied now? It's too late to undo what's done."
Xu Lili curled her lips.
She didn't understand what "Fu Shui is uncomfortable" meant, but from the tone of her second brother's voice, she knew that Zhong Qiao was determined to sever ties with their Xu family.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She thought of Xu Yaozu who was sleeping soundly in the inner room. If she brought the child over and played the emotional card, would Zhong Qiao soften her heart and stay and continue to work hard for their family?
"Okay, have you forgotten the last time in the hospital, when Zhong Qiao looked so disgusted with me and the child?"
Xu Shaojun shattered her beautiful fantasy.
"If this trick worked, Zhong Qiao and I wouldn't have to go this far."
Xu Lili lowered her head and stopped talking.
Zhou Ping was still immersed in her own world, so intoxicated that she didn't know what the world was.
She tugged at Xu Shaojun behind her, her face full of smugness: "Son, don't be afraid. Let her get out of our Xu family. Mom will introduce you to a better one tomorrow!"
The staff responsible for registering divorce judgments are already accustomed to it.
There are fewer divorces these days.
Most women think divorce is shameful, so even if they are beaten half to death in their husband's home, they will still not choose divorce. If they take the step of divorce, either one of them is mentally ill or both of them are mentally ill.
Another possibility is that the mother-in-law is mentally ill.
The woman's pretty brows knitted together as she sternly rebuked, "Alright, stop interfering with the work. Once you're sure the relationship between the two has broken down, come with me and sign."
Zhong Qiao nodded and followed the woman into the house. Zhong's father and mother followed closely behind. They glanced at Xu Shaojun with disdain and didn't want to say a word to him.
However, this entry into the house was a big deal.
The woman was holding the divorce registration documents and was almost stunned by the scene before her as soon as she stepped through the door.
“This, this—”
This is too dirty.
The woman covered her nose with her hands, her face full of disgust, but out of consideration for the Xu family's reputation, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
These tiled houses were passed down from the ancestors of the Xu family. Although they have three bedrooms and a living room, they have been neglected for many years and are dilapidated.
Zhong Qiao left the Xu family for a month and left everything to Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping is a sloppy person, so you can imagine.
At this time, the already dilapidated tile house had spider webs all over the beams. Some signs of cleaning could be seen, but the cleaning was perfunctory. The walls and the floor were covered with dried chicken droppings and chicken claw marks.
The woman tried to walk inside, but the next second, she stepped on something.
The slippery feeling of the soles of her shoes made her a little overwhelmed.
"Forget it." The woman had a sad face, not daring to look at the soles of her shoes. She walked out the door with one foot deep and one foot shallow. "Let's just sign outside."
What bad luck she had today! She had to take on such a difficult job. This family was so shabby.
The woman found a wooden stake, placed the complaint, mediation minutes, mediation delivery receipt, judgment delivery receipt, etc. that needed to be signed, and called Zhong Qiao and Xu Shaojun.
"Come and sign."
Zhong Qiao looked at the stack of materials written in black and white, and for some reason, his heart began to beat rapidly.
The divorce she had always dreamed of was finally coming true.
Mother Zhong squeezed her hand and said, "Qiao Qiao, go ahead. Mom and Dad will be waiting for you here. When you get home, Mom will make you your favorite braised pork."
Her tone was calm, as if she was just chatting. If you didn't listen carefully, it would be difficult to detect the trembling in her voice.
Feeling the warmth on her fingertips, Zhong Qiao came back to her senses. She smiled brightly, pinched Zhong's mother's palm as well, and nodded heavily.
"Mom, don't worry. From now on, I'll just be your Qiao Qiao, not someone else's daughter-in-law anymore."
There were some tears in the corners of Mr. and Mrs. Zhong's eyes.
Divorce is a very shameful thing these days. There may be rumors in the future, and my daughter's situation is worrying, but -
Compared to letting my daughter be trapped in the dire straits of the tiger's blood, what are those rumors?
Zhong Qiao walked over step by step and signed his name on the paper without hesitation.
Xu Shaojun gritted his teeth and followed suit, signing in one breath. However, when he signed the last piece of paper, he hesitated, and his palms were sweating as he held the pen.
For some reason, Xu Shaojun always felt that this signing would really have nothing to do with Zhong Qiao anymore.
Does he really like Zhong Qiao?
Obviously you don't like it.
When he was an exchange student in Hong Kong, he pretended to be Zhong Qiao's childhood benefactor in order to get the Zhong family to support him. Later, he became jealous of Zhong Qiao's beauty and excellence and couldn't wait to possess her.
He admitted that he was despicable, unbearable, and even disgusting.
But Xu Shaojun thought that it would be worth it even if it meant going to hell, as he could pull Zhong Qiao into his own class through such means.
But now, they have taken this step.
"Son, sign it quickly."
Zhou Ping's urgent urging came to my ears.
Xu Shaojun was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, his name was already engraved on the final divorce judgment form.
It was deeply imprinted on that paper.
