Chapter 88 Let’s Divorce
"Sun Jianguo! What the hell are you talking about? How dare you slander me? I think you've been drinking horse urine and lost your mind! You just don't like us mother and daughter!"
"You're a coward! You have no ability at all, and yet you let your wife and kids suffer! All you do every day is drink and drink! You can't even tell if your own wife is real or fake, right?"
"Why don't you look at yourself? What right do you have to criticize me? At least I'm not like you, playing dumb like a living turtle! Did you ever say a word when the child was beaten or bullied? Isn't it because you think speaking out would embarrass you, the 'political commissar'?"
Every sentence and every word hit Sun Jianguo's most painful spot with incredible precision.
The frustration of a hopeless career, the cowardice and dereliction of duty as a father, and the humiliation that has been suppressed for a long time for the sake of ridiculous face.
These words were like poisoned knives, thrown madly by Qian Xiufen, tearing apart the shaky dignity that he tried hard to cover up.
"Shut up!"
Sun Jianguo's eyes were red and his body was shaking violently with anger. The dizziness from alcohol was mixed with the pain that was piercing his heart.
"I'm a coward! I'm useless! I'm not like you, Qian Xiufen, who can play two games so well! You can use your own daughter as a punching bag! You can disguise yourself as a pitiful person! Look at your face now! Amnesia? I don't believe it! You are a complete lunatic! A vicious woman!"
The conflict that was already deeply buried in his heart reached a boiling point at this moment.
The two of them threw away all disguises and scruples, tearing and attacking each other with the most vicious and understanding words.
Pour out all the resentment and dissatisfaction accumulated in marriage life.
The decency and warmth of the past have long since vanished, leaving only naked hatred and the immense trauma inflicted on each other.
"Yes! I'm crazy! I just can't stand your Sun family! I can't stand this pigsty-like home!"
Qian Xiufen had completely lost her mind, her voice hoarse, "You guys are the ones who made me crazy!"
"Forced?"
Sun Jianguo suddenly waved his arm and pointed at Xiaohua, who was curled up in the corner, so scared that she didn't even dare to cry out loud.
Pain, despair and self-blame were mixed together in his bloodshot eyes.
He used all his strength to force out the words that had been lingering in his heart for a thousand times: "Okay! Since you, Qian Xiufen, think this is a pigsty, since you think it's our fault that you're crazy... then we can't live like this anymore!"
His voice was hoarse and broken, with a kind of fatigue that penetrated deep into his bones: "Divorce! I've had enough!"
Silence, dead silence.
Those two words were like a basin of ice water pouring down on Qian Xiufen's head.
The deafening quarrel just now was frozen in an instant.
Qian Xiufen seemed to be under a spell, with all the malice, curses, and twisted expressions frozen on her face.
Sun Jianguo seemed to have lost all his strength. His body swayed and the bottle of wine in his hand could no longer hold up. With a loud "crack", it fell to the ground and shattered instantly.
"Are you serious?"
Qian Xiufen squeezed out these words from her throat. She never thought that this honest and dull person would actually have the courage to break up his current life.
"Of course it's true. I've had enough of living with someone like you. I don't want to see you for another day."
Qian Xiufen covered her chest and took two steps back, feeling a wave of dizziness spreading from her feet to her head.
She could hardly stand.
"We have a daughter. Can you really bear to abandon her?"
Sun Jianguo turned around shakily and glanced at Xiaohua with a sad smile.
"You actually still remember that this is our daughter. Are you usually kind to her?"
"It's not just that you don't treat her well, but you also don't allow others to treat her well. Whether it's Ge Jinglan or Song Yunqing, you beat and scold Xiaohua the moment they get close to her."
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his mood, which had just calmed down, became agitated again.
"You don't need to use your pig brain to think about it. If the child wasn't really hungry, would he really go to someone else's house and humbly ask for a few bites of food?"
"It's all because of you. Every month when my allowance comes out, the first thing you do is buy yourself clothes. Have you ever thought that there's no rice at home and we haven't had anything thick in days?"
Sun Jianguo took a frivolous step and took out all the clothes from Qian Xiufen's closet and threw them on the bed.
"Look at yourself, look at yourself, have you ever thought about your family? You haven't, you only have yourself in your heart and eyes. I can't live like this for a day."
Xiaohua was frightened by the atmosphere between the two people, but she didn't dare to hold Qian Xiufen's hand. She could only walk cautiously to Sun Jianguo and pull his sleeve.
"dad……"
"Xiaohua, come with me. I will raise her well and we will split our property in half. This is my compensation to you."
Although their family assets are not that much!
Qian Xiufen finally realized that he was not joking.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true. We'll go handle the paperwork tomorrow. I'll write the application and it'll be done quickly. You... hurry up and pack your things..."
After Sun Jianguo finished speaking, his head felt extremely heavy. Looking at the messy house, a feeling of powerlessness surged from the bottom of his heart.
He walked out to the side room, grabbed a quilt to cover himself, and fell into a deep sleep.
He really didn't lie and wrote an application as soon as he arrived at the office the next day.
When Zhao Hu passed by, he saw the four big words "Divorce Report" on the cover and curled his lips in surprise.
When he reached his office, he excitedly said, "What a blast!"
Chen Zhicheng came over: "What what?"
"Political Commissar Sun is getting a divorce!"
"Him? That's fake. How could they get divorced given their family situation? They fought and quarreled when they were young, and now it's too late. It's impossible."
"How is that impossible? I just saw them filing for divorce!"
"I still don't believe it."
"Look at you, you don't believe it again. How about another bet?"
Chen Zhicheng thought of how he and Zhao Hu lost every time they gambled.
"Forget it, forget it. I won't gamble. Let's just get a divorce. It's not easy for that man in their family to endure for so many years given his temper."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard familiar footsteps passing by the door.
Zhao Hu mouthed, "Sun Jianguo."
Chen Zhicheng's heart skipped a beat: "Did he hear what we said?"
"I heard it, and I'm just telling the truth."
Chen Zhicheng didn't know what he was thinking about and sighed heavily.
Everyone has children. Not to mention their family, even A Yue's family is so poor, and Yao Xinjie is so unmotivated, they all raised their children well.
Only Qian Xiufen looked like she had picked up the child.
She doesn't care about her children, her husband, or her family.
This kind of person is extremely selfish.
After Sun Jianguo submitted the report, he finally felt that the stone that had been weighing on his heart had disappeared.
Maybe he should have given up long ago and ended this failed marriage long ago.
The endless gossip still lingered in his ears, but the discussion had shifted from discussing Qian Xiufen to discussing the two of them.
He was really tired of living his life tied to this man's name.
When he returned home, he found the table was filled with food for the first time.
Before he could react, Qian Xiufen was wearing an apron and holding a dish in her hand.
"I'm back, let's eat!"
Sun Jianguo glanced at Xiaohua, who was obviously scared but trying to pretend to be calm.
"What's going on?"
Xiaohua shrank back and looked at Qian Xiufen, not daring to say anything.
"Speak up, kid, your dad is asking you!"
Qian Xiufen smiled, but her eyes revealed viciousness.
Xiaohua was so frightened that she trembled for a moment, then she spoke tremblingly: "Dad... Dad, Mommy cooked a lot of food, come and eat with us!"
Sun Jianguo hated the way she used the child as a raft.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't scare the child."
Qian Xiufen turned and looked at Xiaohua: "Did I scare you?"
Xiaohua shook her head cautiously.
Sun Jianguo felt weak and had no appetite for the dishes on the table.
"Don't think about saving anything. Our relationship has come to an end. Anything you do will be in vain. Don't let my last impression of you be soured."
Qian Xiufen's smile froze on her face. "I've already given you a way out, but you still don't want to move on?"
"You're giving me a way out? You don't even realize where you went wrong. If you really want to save this relationship, you should treat Xiaohua well instead of making her afraid of you and afraid to get close to you."
Qian Xiufen couldn't understand what he meant at all.
"Are you saying that I'm not good enough to Xiaohua? I'm her mother, how could I really not like her? I love her so much that I criticize her harshly."
Sun Jianguo pinched his brows tiredly. "Forget it. I don't want to say anything more. I've already submitted the divorce papers, and I should have a reply soon. Then we can go our separate ways and live happily ever after."
"Jianguo, I really want to save our relationship."
Sun Jianguo stopped walking without looking back: "You just want to save a long-term meal ticket."
After saying this, Sun Jianguo left home, leaving Xiaohua hungry and staring at the food on the table.
Qian Xiufen clenched her fists and glared at Xiaohua with dismay: "What are you looking at? It's all your fault. You don't even want to say a nice word. Are you happy to see our family break up?"
"I don't…"
Xiaohua was about to cry with grievance. She had said everything she needed to say, but her father just wouldn't listen. What could she do?
The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel.
Tears fell down.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. You're just a piece of trash."
Xiaohua held the chopsticks, not daring to move, as her stomach was already growling with hunger.
"Why are you looking at me? There's food on my face. Eat. If you keep crying, get out!"
Xiaohua quickly wiped the tears from her face, picked up a piece of potato and put it in her mouth. It tasted bitter mixed with her tears.
