They were just angry that Fang Qing was fine, but their son was in jail. How could this be possible?
But then again, even if Fang Qing was sent in together, would my son be able to get out?
It seems that I can’t get out.
It would be better to keep Fang Qing at home to make money for them. At least she can help raise her grandchildren.
But now... Fang Qing also went in.
Is it still necessary to file this lawsuit?
"We're still not sure if Fang Qing can get out. How are the two children going to live without a parent?" Wang Zhong sighed and said to Jiang Mei, "Well, go get Tang Xiaofen back."
"Can she come back? She doesn't want to come back at all now."
"That's because you treated her badly before. Go apologize to her and ask her to forgive you for the sake of the two children."
"What? I'm going to apologize to her? What kind of mother-in-law would apologize to her daughter-in-law? How could she handle it?"
Wang Zhong said, "What's the point of saying all this now? If we don't coax her back, how are we going to raise the children? We're old, and no one wants us to work. How can we support two children with that little bit of alimony? Forget Tang Xiaofen. Just because she makes a hundred yuan a month now, is it worth it for you to coax her back?"
Jiang Mei was extremely reluctant.
She thought that if she bowed her head now, her daughter-in-law would definitely ride on her head and shit on her.
But Wang Zhong said, "Think about it. Jianguo was sentenced to ten years. He'll be in his thirties when he gets out. Thirty-something, with children and a history of trouble, how can he ever find a wife? Without a wife, who will do the cooking and laundry? After we're gone, he'll be left alone. What will he do with his life?"
Jiang Mei actually listened to the following words.
Her greatest pride is that she receives alimony, which is paid on time every month, and she occasionally receives small gifts during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.
Which woman in the same village could have that much? Not to mention the same village, even in the nearby villages, no woman could have that much money.
This is a stable income, which is difficult for men, let alone women.
No one around her didn't envy her.
Therefore, she has always been proud in front of her daughter-in-law who does not make money. She always feels that she is superior to others and looks down on her daughter-in-law.
I am like the queen mother, and my daughter-in-law is a maid.
Asking her to apologize to her daughter-in-law would be an insult to her.
But now, the old man said that if they are gone in the future, what will happen to their son?
A middle-aged man who has been in prison and has children will definitely not be able to find a wife.
He won't be able to live without a woman to take care of him when he gets old, so for the sake of her son, she has to coax Tang Xiaofen back.
…
Tang Xiaofen and her colleagues are working the early shift, so Jiang Mei arrived before daybreak.
They had almost finished sweeping the floor, and the only thing left was the street with the most people. They had to wait until dawn to sweep it for their leaders to see.
So now they were sitting on the curb chatting.
Seeing Jiang Mei approaching, Sister Zhao nudged Tang Xiaofen and whispered, "Your mother-in-law is here."
The two of them stopped talking.
"Xiao Fen, Mom is here to take you home."
Tang Xiaofen glanced at her calmly and then looked away.
"That's not my home, and I can't possibly have anything to do with you anymore."
"What you said is that you and our Wang family, just because you say you have no connection, you have no connection? You are the biological mother of two children, you are the daughter-in-law of our Wang family."
"Soon it won't be."
Jiang Mei's expression changed, "What do you mean?"
"I want to divorce Wang Jianguo."
"You..." She wanted to scold her, but when she thought of what the old man said, she held back.
She slowed down her tone and said, "Xiaofang, I was wrong before. I apologize to you. I promise you that when you go back, I will never say a harsh word to you again. If I dare to scold you again, I will make my life miserable."
She glanced at the broom beside her and said, "You continue to work, and I'll help you take care of the two children. From now on, I'll do all the housework, and you can have a hot meal when you come home from work. What do you think?"
Tang Xiaofen said calmly, "Not very good."
Jiang Mei: "Mom has said this much, how come it's still not good? So tell me, what are you going to do?"
"I want to divorce Wang Jianguo. I can't marry a labor camp inmate, and I can't live with a man who has an affair with his sister-in-law."
Jiang Mei couldn't stand it any longer after hearing this. "Bah, you're being arrogant now, right? I just believed you didn't know before."
I know, of course I know.
She will have to testify in the next lawsuit.
"Xiao Fen, how can a woman live without a man and a family? Don't worry about his past; it's all in the past and you can't change it, right? We have to look to the future for our lives. Don't worry, Jianguo knows he was wrong this time and will treat you well for the rest of his life. A woman can't live without a man who understands her feelings."
After listening to her talk, Tang Xiaofen simply said, "Whatever you say, whatever you think, I'm getting a divorce anyway."
Jiang Mei felt a little embarrassed when she saw that she was not listening.
After a moment, he chuckled twice, "Do you think you can get married and divorce whenever you want? You want a divorce? Humph, forget it."
After saying that, Jiang Mei turned around and left angrily.
Sister Zhao spoke only after she walked away.
"Is this your mother-in-law? She has a mean face and doesn't look like a good person at first glance."
"That man of yours isn't even having an affair with Fang Qing. Tsk tsk, he's not a good man at all. Divorce him, just get a divorce."
"These days are different from the past. Women can still survive after getting divorced."
"It's only one hundred yuan a month. The salary will increase every year, and there are gifts for the New Year and other festivals. You are not someone who likes to spend money recklessly, so just work here with peace of mind. Don't worry, I can support you and your daughter."
"Sister Zhao, I understand. I will definitely get a divorce."
"Oh, that's right. Divorces are becoming more and more common these days, and you won't be laughed at."
While Sister Zhao was chattering, Tang Xiaofen had already picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor again.
Sister Zhao is very satisfied with her new partner.
She is diligent and efficient at work, much better than Fang Qing.
When I worked with Fang Qing before, I did most of the work myself.
Now she is a partner with Tang Xiaofen, who does most of the work. She feels like she is living a semi-retired life.
After get off work, Tang Xiaofen took a piece of paper with the address written on it and took the bus to find the law firm.
This was a lawyer Lin Yuyao had introduced to her a long time ago, saying he was good at handling divorce cases.
She had a friend who got divorced before and she consulted this lawyer.
When she arrived at the place, she found out that it was Lawyer Nie.
I just met him the day before yesterday. He came for the case that Wang Jianguo was involved in.
"Hello, Lawyer Nie, do you handle divorce cases?"
"Yes, Ms. Tang. You've come all this way here. Mr. Lin told me about your situation. I was thinking I'd wait until your husband's case was over before discussing the divorce with you, but I didn't expect you to come here on your own."
Originally, she wasn't that anxious. She was being harassed by Jiang Mei, so she wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Tang Xiaofen told Lawyer Nie about her experiences and thoughts.
Lawyer Nie nodded and said, "I deeply sympathize with your situation. I want to resolve this matter as quickly as possible, and I understand that. However, there is a waiting list for lawsuits, and it's almost the Lunar New Year, so I'm afraid you won't be able to file this case before the New Year."
Tang Xiaofen was startled and asked, "When?"
"I'll have to go to the court to inquire. I guess the schedule is already until March."
Tang Xiaofen only then realized that she had to queue up to file a lawsuit.
Are there so many people arguing with each other every day in this city?
They all have to go to court.
"It's been too long," she muttered.
Lawyer Nie said, "If you want it to be quick, you have to talk to him. If he agrees to a divorce, they can get the divorce certificate that same day."
Tang Xiaofen shook her head. "He won't agree."
"The normal divorce process is to first mediate. If mediation fails, then a legal divorce is filed. You might want to take some time to discuss it first and see what he has to say. Only then can you file for divorce legally."
"That's fine, Lawyer Nie. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
He gave her his phone number and said, "Call me if you have anything. I'll go to Chenshan Town often, so you don't have to make the long trip."
Tang Xiaofen took the number and said, "Okay, thank you."
After returning home, Tang Xiaofen went to the police station again and applied to see Wang Jianguo as a spouse.
She was told to go back and wait, and come back to ask in a few days.
It’s not easy to see Wang Jianguo now.
Tang Xiaofen has to pick up her daughter from school in the afternoon.
The kindergarten will be closed in a few days, and the children will have to stay at home alone.
Her daughter has always been sensible and can help with many things at a young age, so she is quite relieved.
…
The New Year is approaching, Fu Yatong is back, and still goes to Nancheng first.
She had been clamoring to come and see her little nephews, and now her wish came true.
In the past, Lin Yuyao always went to pick her up, but now that Lin Yuyao is in confinement after giving birth, it was Fu Huaiyi who went to pick her up.
This time she was alone and had two large suitcases, so she had to ask the airport staff for help to drag them out.
Fu Huaiyi glanced at the two large boxes and asked, "You carried them back by yourself?"
"How could that be? I paid someone to carry it for me."
Fu Huaiyi looked around and asked, "Just you?"
"Ah, what else?"
"Where are the friends who came back with you last year?"
"He broke up with me."
Fu Huaiyi: “…”
"You really started a relationship with him?"
"Well, we've already split up." She said impatiently, "Oh, don't mention him to me. Hurry up and get the suitcases in the car. I need to go back to see my nephew."
Fu Huaiyi asked, "What's so heavy?"
"Don't ask, let's go back first. I can't wait any longer."
Fu Huaiyi was urged to help her carry the boxes, and last year he also came back with two very heavy boxes.
One box contained gifts, and another contained her own things, including several sets of clothes and a pile of bottles and jars.
He couldn't understand. He had plenty of clothes to wear at home, so why did he have to bring back such a big bag?
As soon as she got off the car, Fu Yatong ran upstairs.
After Fu Huaiyi parked the car, he had to help her carry the boxes.
The two big boxes were too heavy and had to be carried one by one.
Upstairs, hearing a knock on the door, Lin Yuyao asked the nanny to open the door quickly.
As soon as the door opened, Fu Yatong rushed in before the nanny had time to ask any questions.
"Sister-in-law, where is my nephew?"
Lin Yuyao also came out of the house, "Yatong is back, your nephew is sleeping in the house."
"Let me see."
"This way."
The two children are usually taken care of by a nanny and live in another room. Their milk is only brought to Lin Yuyao when they need it.
Fu Yatong saw the two chubby children and said, "So small and cute, just like toys. Can I touch them?"
"sure."
"But... they're asleep. If I touch them and wake them up, won't they cry?"
Lin Yuyao smiled faintly and said, "They sleep when they're full and don't like to cry. It's okay, go ahead and pet them."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to wash my hands."
She quickly went to the bathroom to wash her hands. After washing them, she wiped them dry with a towel and then gently stroked the pink little face.
Perhaps her hand was a little cold, Xiaobao moved uncomfortably, and Fu Yatong was so scared that she quickly withdrew her hand.
"So tender."
"Of course a newborn baby is tender."
She touched her face and said, "So this is what we call baby skin. The difference is huge. The person selling skincare products is a liar."
Lin Yuyao laughed and said, "The cosmetics seller must be exaggerating, but the effect is quite good. You take good care of your skin."
Fu Yatong smiled and said, "I bought it for you too. It's in the box."
At this moment, Fu Huaiyi brought back the first box.
Fu Yatong hurried over and said, "Thank you, big brother."
Fu Huaiyi rolled his eyes at her and resigned himself to moving the second one.
This box is full of gifts for them, including skin care products and perfumes for Lin Yuyao.
A famous brand skirt and a bag.
There are also small clothes and hats bought for the two little ones.
However, she probably had no idea about children's body shapes, so the clothes she bought were quite large, and she estimated that the child would need to be two years old to wear them.
There were also some for my family, all packed in this big box.
Fu Huaiyi brought up another box, which was almost entirely filled with her personal belongings.
"How long do you plan to play this time?"
"It's just a vacation. It won't be long. I'll go back after the New Year."
Fu Huaiyi: "Will I be able to get my diploma next year?"
"How could that be possible? My grades are just average, as you know. I'd be lucky if I could get it next year."
Fu Yatong said frankly that she was just there to hang out.
If there is no hope in the country, it would be good to go abroad to get a degree, and then you can be called a returnee when you come back.
However, Fu Yatong has a clear understanding of herself and her family.
Given the family's financial situation, she doesn't need to rely on her own efforts to find a job to make a living.
Her parents' requirements for her were simple. They didn't ask her to be very capable, but just to get a decent academic degree so that she could be respected when she went out.
So occasionally you can hear them quarreling. Fu Huaiyi thinks she should work harder, but Fu Yatong thinks that her parents are working so hard, why should she work too?
She was born to enjoy life, not to suffer, and she often left Fu Huaiyi speechless.
Of course, that was in the past.
Now that she is in college, no matter how hard she tries, she cannot change the fact that she failed to get into a domestic university.
He has accepted reality.
Fu Yatong stayed at their house for two days and got tired of playing with children.
My brother is at work and my sister-in-law is in confinement after giving birth and is very bored.
On the third day, I prepared to run away.
