In recent years, she has been selling vegetables at a stall during the day and taking care of her mother-in-law and children when she gets home at night.
Her appearance was visibly tired and haggard, while Li Yuzhu had a rosy complexion and looked young and beautiful.
Ding Haowen impatiently pinched the bridge of his nose. "Chen Jiayi, stop right there! Aren't you coming home with me?"
Chen Jiayi found it ridiculous, "I told you, I want a divorce, why would I go home with you?"
Should we go back to being slaves to others?
Ding Haowen's face suddenly darkened. "No way!"
He never thought about divorcing Chen Jiayi. Chen Jiayi treated his mother like her own mother, and he could clearly feel her love for him.
He didn't believe Chen Jiayi was really willing to divorce him. Where could Chen Jiayi find someone with better conditions than him if she left him?
Chen Jiayi gave a mocking smile, "Then let me ask you, you've never handed over your salary all these years, and I've never asked. You didn't even let me move into the family compound assigned to you by your workplace. Is this how husband and wife are?"
In his previous life, Ding Haowen was suddenly promoted and received a raise, for reasons unknown.
Ding Haowen was originally just an assistant researcher, but after being promoted to junior researcher, his salary doubled! He had never asked about his salary, and only found out before his death that Ding Haowen had spent all of his salary on Li Yuzhu.
Ding Haowen looked embarrassed for a moment, then let out a low growl of annoyance.
"Chen Jiayi, stop making a scene, okay? Can't we talk about this at home?"
“Go home? That’s your home with your mom!” Chen Jiayi rolled her eyes speechlessly. “The family compound where your job was assigned is one you’ve rented out; it’s someone else’s home.”
In her past life, after she got cancer, Ding Haowen's family refused to pay for her treatment and even kicked her out with disdain.
Chen Jiayi was filled with rage when she thought of her past life!
She said coldly, "Ding Haowen, see you at the commune tomorrow!"
Ding Haowen's face darkened, and he took a deep breath.
"Chen Jiayi, if you don't come home today, what will happen to the children?"
Chen Jiayi sneered, "He's not my biological child, do whatever you want with him!"
Li Yuzhu bit her lip, "Sister-in-law, no matter what, you can't just abandon the child!"
If Chen Jiayi doesn't go home to take care of the children, what will happen to them?
Chen Jiayi glanced at Li Yuzhu and saw a hint of worry flash across her face, which she found amusing.
Why couldn't she have noticed these details in her past life?
"Since you care so much, why don't you go and take care of the child?"
Li Yuzhu looked at Ding Haowen with an embarrassed expression. Ding Haowen said angrily, "Yuzhu, let's go."
He thinks Chen Jiayi has something wrong with her brain!
He coldly left behind the words, "Just don't regret it!"
Chen Jiayi retorted without hesitation, "My biggest regret is marrying you!"
Ding Haowen felt a lump in his throat and angrily turned to leave.
Chen Jiayi stayed another night at the Hongxing Hotel, planning to take a bus back early the next morning.
She has nowhere to stay when she goes back, and she doesn't want to stay at Ding Haowen's house again!
Chen Jiayi booked a room for two nights, spending a total of ten yuan.
She took her bankbook with her when she left. She had made a lot of money selling vegetables at her stall over the past three years, but she spent almost all of it on the Ding family and didn't save much for herself.
Chen Jiayi looked at the 180 yuan in her savings account and couldn't help but sigh.
She was a little hungry, so she went out and bought two steamed buns, which cost her two cents.
Chen Jiayi took a bite of the steamed bun, her mind racing with thoughts of what to do next.
She remembers that the college entrance examination was reinstated in 1977, and there are still three years until its reinstatement. The country has no restrictions on age or marital status.
The country is currently developing heavy industry, but the efficiency is low. In the future, it will focus on developing agriculture and commerce.
Many people seized the opportunity and made a lot of money.
Chen Jiayi just wants to divorce Ding Haowen as soon as possible, then study hard to improve herself, and then take the college entrance examination to see if she can get into university.
…
The next day, Chen Jiayi woke up early.
She hadn't slept this soundly in a long time!
Ever since Ding Haowen brought his and Li Yuzhu's child back, she often gets up at night to take care of the child.
Sometimes I can only sleep for two or three hours before I have to get up to change the baby's diaper.
The thought of her past life made Chen Jiayi feel a lump in her throat.
Fortunately, God gave her another chance!
Chen Jiayi took a car back to the street and ran into Wang Shulan, a customer who often bought vegetables from her stall.
Wang Shulan, carrying a vegetable basket, said in surprise, "Jiayi, why didn't you set up your stall today? I was waiting to buy your vegetables."
Chen Jiayi smiled and said, "Sister Wang, I won't be able to set up my stall for a while. I'm planning to divorce Ding Haowen, so I probably won't have time to do so during this period."
Wang Shulan was shocked. "Why do you want a divorce? You two had a great relationship."
Chen Jiayi smiled bitterly, "I saw Ding Haowen go into a hotel with another woman."
Wang Shulan works at the commune, and Chen Jiayi specifically mentioned this because she had her own ulterior motives.
"Sister Wang, when do the civil affairs department staff start work? I need to go there to process my divorce."
Seeing that Chen Jiayi's expression didn't seem to be joking, Wang Shulan subconsciously advised, "Jiayi! Although it's a new society now, women who get divorced will still be gossiped about. Don't you want to reconsider?"
Chen Jiayi shook her head. "Sister Wang, I've thought it through! I've never asked about Ding Haowen's salary all these years. I heard that a room at the People's Hotel on the street costs 20 yuan a night, and I saw Ding Haowen take his mistress to a hotel with my own eyes..."
She hesitated, then left it to Wang Shulan to fill in the rest in her mind.
She never expected that Ding Haowen, who seemed so refined and honest, would actually be the kind of man who was fickle and indecisive.
Wang Shulan hesitated for a moment. Chen Jiayi often took care of her, so she thought about it.
"Jiayi, I happen to be off today, so why don't I go with you?"
Chen Jiayi wanted Wang Shulan to go with her on the trip.
Hearing Wang Shulan offer her the suggestion, Chen Jiayi smiled gratefully.
"Thank you, Sister Wang! You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Let me treat you to breakfast."
Wang Shulan felt relieved and took Chen Jiayi to the civil affairs department to register for divorce.
Chen Jiayi explained the general situation to Wang Shulan. Wang Shulan knew about the Ding family's situation and looked down on Ding Haowen.
When Ding Haowen's mother was seriously ill, Chen Jiayi was still willing to marry him. Later, when Ding Haowen needed money for his studies, Chen Jiayi didn't hesitate to earn money to support him. Now that he's financially secure, the first person he dumps is his wife.
Li Shufang saw Chen Jiayi from afar. Her face darkened, and she cursed Chen Jiayi in her heart for not knowing her place!
Knowing that she was physically unwell, he still went out and didn't come back for a whole day and night.
Li Shufang originally wanted to scold Chen Jiayi, but when she saw the commune director arrive, a smile appeared on her face.
"Director Wang, what brings you here?"
Wang Shulan explained Chen Jiayi's request, and Li Shufang's expression immediately changed.
"No way! Chen Jiayi married Haowen, so she's a member of the Ding family! How can she get a divorce?"
If Chen Jiayi divorces Ding Haowen, who will take care of her?
