"Mom, my husband just told me he wants a divorce! He wants me to go get the divorce certificate today!"
Sister-in-law Zhou loudly complained, and Zhou Zhongliang, separated by a door, wanted nothing more than to beat her to death!
The old lady was already in poor health, and because her second sister had kept her divorce a secret, she was depressed. If her eldest brother divorces his wife, the old lady will probably collapse.
Zhou Shangcai's legs went weak, and he knelt down on the ground in front of the door, pounding his fists on the ground.
After decades of marriage, he felt he had been true to his wife, Zhou Dasao, and every major decision he made required her approval.
For example, after being transferred to Shanghai and settling down there, he offered assistance to Zhou Dasao's family in an era when everyone was condemning capitalists...
He listens to Sister-in-law Zhou in everything, isn't that enough to satisfy her?
Why doesn't she think about his mother at all!
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Granny Zhou looked at her sister-in-law with a mocking expression: "Divorce? That's between the two of you. No one can interfere. If you want to divorce, then divorce. I won't say another word!"
It shouldn't be like this!
Sister-in-law Zhou stood there stunned. In her expectation, Granny Zhou would strongly oppose their divorce, and in the end, Zhou Shangcai would beg for forgiveness and never dare to mention divorce again.
Granny Zhou agrees to the divorce.
Sister-in-law Zhou is devastated; this time, she's really going to leave.
Following Zhou Zhongliang's instructions, the Shen family's nanny quickly found a spare key. Zhou Zhongliang snatched the key, opened the door, dragged Zhou's sister-in-law out of the room, and pushed her onto Zhou Shangcai.
The nanny quickly closed the door, not daring to look into Granny Zhou's eyes.
The old lady must be furious!
Zhou Zhongliang snapped at Zhou Shangcai and his wife, "If you want a divorce, then get one. No one can tie your legs. If you go and act crazy in front of the old lady again, I won't let you off the hook!"
What a boastful tone!
Zhou's sister-in-law finally gave up on the marriage, and Zhou Shangcai wanted to divorce her. Zhou's mother-in-law didn't intend to interfere, and even Zhou Zhongliang, who never liked to meddle in other people's business, had a lot of opinions about her.
Let's get a divorce then!
Sister-in-law Zhou made up her mind and yelled at Zhou Shangcai, "Let's go! Let's get a divorce!"
Zhou Shang paused for a moment, then his eyes flashed with surprise, and he immediately followed.
Zhou Zhongliang watched them walk out the door. The Shen family's nanny stood behind them, gently shaking her head, somewhat disbelieving that they could get a divorce smoothly: "Sir, do you think it's possible to get a divorce?"
Zhou Zhongliang was full of confidence: "We will definitely get a divorce!"
When Zhou Huai'an got up and went downstairs for breakfast, he didn't see his parents and casually asked them about them.
Zhou Zhongliang told him expressionlessly, "Your parents got divorced!"
...
Zhou Huai'an was stunned, his hair standing on end. "Second Uncle, what's gotten into you today? Why are you cursing my parents to get divorced for no reason!"
Thank goodness Grandma had already eaten breakfast, otherwise you would definitely have gotten a scolding!
After finishing breakfast, Zhou Huai'an rushed to the neighboring residential compound to find Zhou Hongyu and continue to learn about the situation abroad. Once he returned from Beijing and sold the building that his grandmother had allocated to their family, he would have the money to go abroad. He needed to prepare in advance so that he wouldn't be completely clueless when he arrived overseas.
Zhou Huai'an stayed in the neighboring residential compound all morning. Zhou Hongyu had other things to do today, so she sent him back after talking to him for a while.
Zhou Huai'an wasn't angry. Through his aunt's explanation, he gained a general understanding of the situation abroad.
Foreign countries are both heaven and hell. If he wants to get ahead and not waste a single penny of the money that went abroad for him, he has to be extremely focused and cannot afford to slack off even for a moment.
The only saving grace was that the exchange rate was very high; a month's work abroad was equivalent to a year's salary in China.
As Zhou Huai'an walked towards the villa area, he thought about his plans after going abroad.
Soon they arrived at the villa entrance, where Sister-in-law Zhou was standing with her bag, waiting for someone.
Zhou Huai'an asked blankly, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Going out?
But it looks like there's only one person...
Sister-in-law Zhou tugged at her bag and glared at him: "Don't be so stupid! Your father and I have already gotten our divorce certificate! Come on, let's go back to Shanghai!"
Sister-in-law Zhou came down the steps and took Zhou Huai'an's hand.
Zhou Huai'an was completely confused and asked again, "Mom, how did you and Dad get divorced?"
The children haven't agreed yet!
Sister-in-law Zhou sneered and glanced back at the door: "Your father and I couldn't live together anymore, so we got divorced. What? Can't we get divorced too!"
Zhou Huai'an didn't know how to respond. Could they get a divorce, or not?
And you guys really mean it!
Sister-in-law Zhou pulled Zhou Huai'an towards the door, saying, "Come on! What are you still doing here! From now on, you siblings will only have your maternal grandmother's family as your relatives!"
Impulsively, Sister-in-law Zhou went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Zhou Shangcai. She couldn't understand why Zhou Shangcai wanted to divorce her.
They eventually divorced.
As Sister-in-law Zhou left the Civil Affairs Bureau, holding her divorce certificate, she felt intense hatred towards her former in-laws. Surprisingly, no one stepped forward to stop her. If only someone had intervened, their family would have been saved!
Zhou Huai'an was dragged to a nearby bus stop and only now came to his senses.
Zhou Huai'an: "Mom, do you really not want my dad anymore?"
Sister-in-law Zhou was furious: "No more! Don't ever mention him in front of me again!"
There's not a single good person in the Zhou family!
Zhou Huai'an had a headache. What a mess this was. Should he still go abroad?
When Zhou Huai'an asked this question, his sister-in-law gritted her teeth and said, "Pay up! It's not like we don't have the money!"
"Your father left with nothing!" Sister-in-law Zhou finally found some comfort in the matter of the divorce.
Zhou Huai'an was stunned. His father left with nothing?
Even if he divorces his so-called true love, who is now his wife, he can't leave with nothing. Money is a good thing!
Just then, the bus arrived, and Zhou Huai'an was pushed onto it by his sister-in-law. Zhou Huai'an sat in his seat and looked out the window at the villa where he had stayed for the night.
Perhaps the next time I come will be a long time from now.
Zhou's sister-in-law was unaware of his emotions. She sat next to him and kept cursing Zhou Shangcai for abandoning his wife and children.
Irresponsible!
Heartless!
Ruthless!
...
As she was cursing, Sister-in-law Zhou suddenly burst into tears. Zhou Huai'an quickly snapped out of his reverie and asked with concern, "Mom, are you alright?"
Sister-in-law Zhou leaned on his shoulder and cried, "How could your father be so heartless as to divorce you like that!"
She couldn't understand it at all. The reason the two of them were getting a divorce was because she wanted to sell the old house to pay for her youngest son to go abroad. Zhou Shang had already compromised and agreed to let her sell the old house.
Why did they still get divorced?
Zhou Huai'an was stiff and dared not move; he was now somewhat afraid to return to Shanghai!
It all started with getting money to send him abroad.
Zhou Huai'an was terrified of seeing his older brother and sister. He went out for a while and came back to find his home completely destroyed!
