Lu Zhengguo was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Okay, this matter will be dealt with as soon as possible. Please wait for a few minutes."

When he came back again, he had a passbook in his hand.

This passbook was the one he gave her after she wrote the letter of guarantee last time, but she did not take it with her when she left.

"In the past four years, I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband and have caused you a lot of injustice. I will give you all the money in this passbook."

Shen Man looked slightly stunned, and did not reach out to take it, "No need, if you really want to compensate you, then make your reputation better after the divorce."

In fact, she and Lu Zhengguo are not a serious couple.

During these four years, the army gave her half of the pension, which added up to a considerable sum of money.

Lu Zhengguo pursed his lips and stuffed the passbook into her arms again, "Take it. I will do what I promised you."

He was the one at fault for the divorce, and it was neither reasonable nor moral for him to let Shen Man be criticized by people around her because of this.

Shen Man looked up at him and asked, "When will the divorce application be available?"

Lu Zhengguo was silent for a long time, and finally gave her a promise, "One month at the earliest, but if you let me go, I will do it as soon as possible."

After getting a definite guarantee, Shen Man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He still keeps his word. Now we just have to wait for the divorce application to come down and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.

From then on, this marriage was completely over.

…

After Shen Man returned to the Shen family, it was getting dark.

As soon as she entered the house, the food was already on the table.

Yang Fang put down the last dish and waved at her, "Manman, you're back. Come sit down and eat. After dinner, go back to the house to pack up your things. We will go to the Red Flag Brigade to visit your grandfather and your grandmother tomorrow morning."

"Mom, weren't we going the day after tomorrow? Why are you going early again?" Shen Man was stunned.

She had promised Gu Qinglin that she would accompany Xiao Bei tomorrow, but it seems that she is going to break her promise.

Yang Fang patted her forehead and said, "Look at your memory. You got the time wrong. If your grandfather hadn't called us in advance today, we would have gotten the time wrong."

"Your cousin's wedding is the day after tomorrow. Although the Red Flag Corps is not near our county, it's still quite far away."

"Let's go tomorrow morning. We should be there by then. We'll go give Xianglan some wedding gifts first. It will probably be almost evening by then."

"The day after tomorrow is your grandpa's tenth birthday, so it's a good time to go tomorrow."

Shen Man sighed secretly. It seemed that she would have to say goodbye to Gu Qinglin and Xiao Bei before leaving tomorrow morning.

During the meal, the atmosphere in the Shen family was still strange.

Shen Mingchuan glanced at his silent father, then at his mother.

The two of them didn't communicate at all, unlike before, even if they didn't talk, the feeling they gave was different.

He held the rice bowl and sauntered to Shen Man's side. "Sister, do you think the atmosphere between my parents is a little weird? Are they okay?"

Shen Man picked up a piece of meat and put it into Shen Mingchuan's bowl. "Eat your meal well and don't think too much."

"They have always had a good relationship. I think everything will be fine in two days."

Shen Mingchuan glanced at Yang Fang and Shen Xiangshan again, a little doubtful, "Sister, is that so?"

Although his parents had quarreled before, they had never been so distant from each other, especially his mother. From the beginning of the meal until now, she had not even looked at his father.

His father would secretly glance at his mother from time to time, but he never said a word.

Shen Man put another piece of green vegetable into Shen Mingchuan's bowl and said, "Don't think too much. If you have time to think about these things, you might as well think about how to do your homework."

When it comes to homework, Shen Mingchuan finally shut up and ate his meal obediently.

After dinner, Yang Fang didn't even clean up the dishes, but directly pulled Shen Man into the house.

Behind him, Shen Xiangshan stood up and quietly began to clean up the dishes, then went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Shen Man saw all the changes in their parents. After entering the room and closing the door, she thought her mother knew about the incident. However, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that her mother definitely didn't know.

I guess it's something else.

Thinking of this, Shen Man took Yang Fang's hand and said, "Mom, what happened between you and Dad? Did Mingchuan notice that something was wrong between you?"

Yang Fang reached out and tapped Shen Man's eyebrows, rolling her eyes at her, "What else could it be? You should ask what's going on between you and your daughter. Don't think I don't know. There must be a secret between you two, and you haven't told me."

"I tried to ask your dad about it, but he kept his mouth shut and said nothing. I didn't intend to ask you, but you asked me first."

Shen Man breathed a sigh of relief, so that's how it was.

"Mom, what could possibly happen between you and Dad? You're overthinking it."

"But I do have something to tell you today."

"What's the matter? Guess, is it about your divorce from Lu Zhengguo?"

When Yang Fang heard that something was going on, she immediately became interested and guessed it right away.

Shen Man nodded, "Yes, that's it."

"And Lu Zhengguo took the initiative to agree that he would put all the blame for the divorce on him."

This way, her reputation after the divorce will be better, or at least not as bad.

Yang Fang was both happy for her daughter and sad for her.

Her eyes instantly turned red, and she couldn't control her emotions. She hugged Shen Man tightly, "Man Man, poor Man Man, I really wronged you."

After all, divorced women have a bad reputation and are prone to gossip.

Shen Man sighed and patted Yang Fang on the back gently, "Mom, divorce is a good thing for you, you should be happy."

To be honest, from the first time she met Lu Zhengguo, she knew that she and he were not destined to be on the same path.

Especially his family matters, which made it even harder for her to accept.

It is right to end a wrong marriage and stop the damage in time, which is better than suppressing yourself and aggrieved by the man's cold violence.

Yang Fang knew this truth, but in this world, divorced men and women were treated differently.

Sometimes, those men don't care about right or wrong and just impose everything on women.

Use rumors to oppress women's spiritual world, and let divorced women go to destruction and death through all kinds of gossip.

However, she would not let her daughter fall into that situation.

Yang Fang began to think in her heart whether she should find an opportunity to ask around and see if there are any good young men who are suitable for Manman.

Suddenly, she thought of a person, Gu Yang.

This was the son-in-law she had been eyeing from the beginning.
