Hua Xiaoyu also has a fiery and impulsive personality.
The next morning, she went to find Zeng Chunlan as soon as she woke up.
She was determined to resolve this matter quickly!
Zeng Chunlan opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see her. "Xiaoyu? You're awake so early? Come in quickly! What's wrong? You don't look well."
Hua Xiaoyu entered the room and, without even sitting down, said directly, "Sister-in-law Chunlan, I have something important to tell you. I already told Zhang Desheng last night that I want to divorce him."
Although Wenru had given prior notice, Zeng Chunlan was still surprised to hear Hua Xiaoyu say it aloud:
"What? You really...really mentioned it? Xiaoyu, aren't you...you're moving too fast? Aren't you going to think about it?"
"You have three girls, how can you just abandon them like that? Besides, a woman's life is tough after a divorce; she'll be drowned in gossip and slander wherever she goes!"
Hua Xiaoyu smiled helplessly, her smile tinged with bitterness, but her tone was unusually firm, "Sister-in-law, no matter how hard life gets, it can't get any worse than it is now!"
Besides, why would I be afraid of people talking behind my back? I'm not even living like a human being in Old Zhang's family now!
I'm not doing this out of spite; I'm doing it for myself, and even more so so that my three daughters can hold their heads high!
This divorce is a must! Besides, that mother and son have been planning this for a long time; they're just waiting for me to say something. There's no point in me lingering any longer!
Seeing the unwavering determination in Hua Xiaoyu's eyes, Zeng Chunlan knew that further persuasion was useless, so she sighed, "Sigh... since you've thought it through and are determined to take this step, then your sister-in-law won't say anything more."
Hua Xiaoyu nodded, "So I'd like to ask you, sister-in-law, to be my witness and preside over this matter."
"You're the head of the parents' committee and also the wife of the political commissar. With you involved, discussing child support and custody of the child will deter Zhang Desheng and his mother from causing trouble! They're afraid of the political commissar, so they'll have to give you some face!"
Zeng Chunlan nodded, "That's the truth."
"No problem, I'll definitely step up when it's my responsibility. So how do you want the divorce? The child will definitely stay with you, no doubt about it. What about child support? What are your plans?"
Having already spoken with Guan Wenru, Hua Xiaoyu stated directly, "He must pay child support! It's his responsibility as a father, and we can't let him get away with it!"
Moreover, we can't just take what comes later! Sister-in-law, Zhang Desheng didn't bring a single penny of his salary from the past two years home; it was all in his mother's hands!
For the past two years, I, Hua Xiaoyu, have been supporting their entire family with my salary! He has to pay me back that money! It's what my children and I deserve!
Upon hearing this, Zeng Chunlan's eyes widened, and she slammed her hand on the table in anger. "What?! Is that so? He didn't give you your salary from the past two years? He let his mother keep it all?"
Your whole family's expenses are covered by your salary? This... This old lady and her son are absolutely despicable! They've gone too far!
This is not something a man should do! We have to get it back! We absolutely have to get it back! Your wife supports you! We can't let this go!
Zeng Chunlan's initial intention to persuade the couple to reconcile rather than separate was instantly shattered by this absurd fact.
Instead, there was indignation and sympathy for Hua Xiaoyu's plight!
The Zhang family, mother and son, have really gone too far!!
Seeing Zeng Chunlan stand on her side, Hua Xiaoyu felt a warmth in her heart. "Yes! Thank you, sister-in-law! As for how to write the divorce agreement and what clauses to include, Wenru is quick-witted and knowledgeable. I'll go to her for help when I get to work."
Zeng Chunlan nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Find Xiao Guan! She'll definitely be able to write it out clearly, so that the mother and son can't find any loopholes! Once it's written, bring it to me to see, and I'll go with you to talk to them! Let's see who dares to renege!"
Hua Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Okay! It's settled then, sister-in-law! Thank you so much!"
Hua Xiaoyu felt much more at ease after receiving Zeng Chunlan's affirmative support.
After saying a few more words, she took her leave.
After seeing Hua Xiaoyu off, Zeng Chunlan closed the door, returned to her room alone, and couldn't help but sigh deeply again, shaking her head.
We're all family, how did things come to this?
What a pity...
......
After returning to work, Hua Xiaoyu did indeed have Guan Wenru draft a divorce agreement.
Guan Wenru already had a general idea yesterday, so she finished writing it very quickly!
When Hua Xiaoyu returned to Courtyard No. 1 after work that day, she tightly clutched the divorce agreement that Guan Wenru had carefully drafted for her. She took a deep breath and knocked on Zeng Chunlan's door.
Zeng Chunlan has also attended literacy classes in recent years and learned to read.
So she took the agreement, glanced at it briefly, and found that the content was well-organized and the rights and interests were clearly defined.
She looked up and asked one last time, "Xiaoyu, I'm asking you one last time, are you really sure? Once you sign this, there's no going back."
Hua Xiaoyu's eyes did not waver in the slightest, and she nodded heavily, "Sister-in-law, I've really made up my mind. I'm going to walk this path forward and never look back."
Zeng Chunlan sighed, "Alright, let's go then, I'll go with you."
The two arrived together at the Zhang family's door.
Zhang Desheng already knew about Hua Xiaoyu's plan, and he was squatting at the door, smoking in frustration.
Seeing Zeng Chunlan and Hua Xiaoyu walking over together, especially with Zeng Chunlan holding several pieces of paper in her hand, he seemed to understand something. He suddenly lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously rubbing a cigarette, his expression unreadable, whether it was guilt or helplessness.
Grandma Zhang came out of the house upon hearing the noise. Seeing the commotion, especially upon seeing Hua Xiaoyu, her face immediately lit up with barely suppressed excitement and pride.
"Oh! Director Chunlan is here! Please come in, please come in! Is it about the divorce? Good, good! Good! It's good that she wanted a divorce! It's not that our Zhang family has mistreated her! It's that she's incompetent, she can't have children..."
