Chapter 16: After much deliberation, I decided to move out of the Zhao family home before the divorce
Gu Tianming looked at his daughter's back as she walked away, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"This child..."
"Well, uncle will go home first. Yuerou, come and play with Zhenzhen when you have time."
Gu Yuerou squinted her eyes and looked towards the village entrance, wondering if Zhao Chengyan could give her money today.
She didn't expect that Zhao Chengyan actually had 10,000 yuan.
Why?
It was not until the sound of Gu Tianming slamming the door shut that she came back to her senses. Thinking of her own loss of composure, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She didn't hear what the other person said at all.
Gu Tianming returned home and looked at the empty living room. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He suddenly realized today that what he saw with his eyes might not be true.
Could it be that he had misunderstood Wanxing all these years? Wasn't she a troublemaker, but Gu Zhenzhen was?
At this moment, he actually had an absurd thought, wondering if Sun Huandi had been trying to sow discord between him and Wanxing.
He had noticed that the mother and daughter were so hostile towards Wanxing just now.
Sun Huandi actually pulled him into the house and told him not to let Wanxing divorce. If it were Zhenzhen, would she do the same if she was not living a happy life?
Thinking of this, he stormed into the bedroom.
What he saw was Sun Huandi lying on the kang sobbing. In the past, he would definitely go up to her to comfort her, but at this moment he felt very annoyed and thought she was being pretentious.
Bai Qing is from the city and isn't so pretentious.
Bai Qing is Gu Wanxing's biological mother. Gu Tianming sometimes compares the two. The woman has a colder temperament, while Sun Huandi is the complete opposite.
"Brother Sun Huan, let me ask you, you just told me so much, are you afraid that Wanxing will come back to live with you after the divorce?"
Sun Huandi, who was lying on his stomach: ...
You know the answer but still ask. You are really stupid.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're just afraid that Wanxing will come back to live here. This is her family home, and I'm her biological father. She has the right to come back anytime."
Gu Tianming spoke to himself.
Sun Huandi cursed in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface:
"Old Gu, how could you think so of me? I'm telling the truth. Do you know what happened to a girl from my hometown who got divorced? She ended up marrying a widower from Wangzhuang next door! She was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and the old man was already your age."
Gu Tianming met Sun Huandi's tear-stained eyes, and combined with what she said, he suddenly felt that he might be wrong.
"Oh, don't cry, I'm just saying that. Besides, you're my stepmother, so it's normal for me to be a little suspicious."
"What's wrong with a stepmother? Should a stepmother die? Wanxing was only twelve when I came. I lived with her under the same roof for eight years. After such a long time, even a cat or a dog would have made me attached to her. How could I not be on her side?"
…
Gu Wanxing had no idea what was happening at home.
She didn't expect that unreliable father to come to his senses. If there was any hope, she would like to break off relations with the scumbag father.
At this time, Gu Wanxing looked at the crowds of people blocking the entrance of the Zhao family and felt confused. What happened again?
As she approached, she heard crying coming from the yard.
Liu Xifeng was crying and wailing: "Everyone, please give me some justice. I've been raising this ungrateful bastard for over twenty years, helping him find a wife and raising children, and I haven't received a cent from him. And in the end, he's still accusing me of taking his money!"
Hearing this, Gu Wanxing couldn't help but sneer.
Her voice attracted the attention of the onlookers at the back, and they turned around to look.
When they saw it was her, they all came over and talked to her about their family matters.
"Wanxing, you don't know, your husband said your mother-in-law took his money."
"Yes, did Cheng Yan really lose the money?"
"Wanxing, what's going on? How much money is needed? Why are you mobilizing so many people?"
"That's right, I told you Cheng Yan was really angry."
"Wanxing, the child is next door. Do you want to go check on Zhao Chao first? The little girl is so scared that she's crying. She's following your Grandma Zhao."
Gu Wanxing restored the truth through the few words of these aunts who just watched the show, but he didn't expect that Zhao Chengyan would really break up with his mother.
"I'll go in and take a look first."
Gu Wanxing curled his lips, thanked everyone, and pushed his bicycle into the yard.
The onlookers still knew the priorities and automatically made way for Gu Wanxing to enter the courtyard.
When I entered the yard, I saw a mess.
Liu Xifeng was sitting on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying, and the ground around her was covered with her clothes.
Zhao Chengfang's eyes were red from crying at the door, and she didn't see Zhao Chengyan.
"Sister-in-law, you're back just in time. Did you take my brother's passbook? If you did, just tell the truth. Look at my brother, he's going crazy."
When Zhao Chengfang saw Gu Wanxing, he started to take the blame and sobbed, which made people feel disgusted.
Gu Wanxing parked his bicycle and cast a light gaze on Zhao Chengfang: "Zhao Chengyan knows who took it, you can't tell me."
Zhao Chengfang choked: "How can you say that? Can my mother take my brother's money? She is his biological mother. Go and talk to my brother quickly and don't let him go crazy."
"Of course, Mom knows whether she took it or not, right? You've torn my little wallet to pieces, and now you're targeting our passbook?"
Liu Xifeng stopped crying, her red eyes bulging like bells. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever take your money? Besides, what's wrong with me taking some money from you? I took care of the kids while you were at work, and I don't have any money to buy them food."
"Mom, don't get excited. I didn't say no. You can take it. It's been five years. Do you see what I said? I didn't say anything to you, right? If you take it, then you take it. If you admit it, we won't be in a hurry. We're a family, so it doesn't matter who you put the money with. Besides, you're the head of the family, and you have the final say. I think it's not too much to give you all the money for safekeeping, right? I have no objection."
Gu Wanxing originally thought that after the divorce, he would use the space to collect some interest from the Zhao family.
But after much thought, she decided that such a big thing as emptying the Zhao family's house had to be done before the divorce. She had to see it with her own eyes, otherwise she would not feel relieved.
The money was gone yesterday. I wonder if Zhao Chengyan will go crazy again if he loses something else today?
Thinking of this, a smile flashed in Gu Wanxing's eyes.
Liu Xifeng stared at her in astonishment. She seemed to see her smile just now, but when she looked at her carefully again, she saw that she looked serious again.
I thought I must have cried so much that I saw it wrong.
"If you really think so, then hurry in and try to persuade Cheng Yan. This bastard is making me so angry."
"It's sister-in-law, please go in and take a look. My brother went crazy and smashed everything in our mother's room."
Zhao Chengfang also made way for the door and said with a look of fear on his face.
Gu Wanxing was a little resistant, but still nodded in the expectant eyes of the mother and daughter.
A minute later, Gu Wanxing looked at the east bedroom that was smashed by Zhao Chengyan, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
The man was squatting on the doorstep, smoking a cigarette, with messy hair.
"Where have you been?"
Zhao Chengyan asked with his head down, his voice so low that it made people feel very depressed.
Gu Wanxing said coldly: "I went back home."
Hearing this, Zhao Chengyan raised his head. His narrow eyes, which could look at a dog with deep affection, were now bloodshot. He looked exhausted, and his newly sprouted stubble made him look very sloppy.
"I haven't been back to my parents' home for five years. Why are you going back today?"
"Of course I'm going back to get my household registration book. I've already said, divorce." Gu Wanxing's tone was so calm that it was unsettling.
Those dark eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.
Zhao Chengyan's heart tightened, and anger slowly filled his eyes: "I don't agree."
"I'm just informing you, not discussing it with you."
"Why?"
"As two people, I give you what I hope you give me. Since you can't do that, then we can break up. I'll make room for Gu Yuerou, and you still don't agree to it. How foolish!"
Gu Wanxing's appearance of doing it for your own good completely hurt the man in front of her.
