Chapter 60 The Price of Seeking Recognition
When he arrived at the front door, he heard the laughter of a mother and daughter coming from inside the house.
Shi Daqiang paused, his expression momentarily dazed.
Such joyful and heartfelt laughter was unfamiliar; he had never heard it before.
When Huang Yinggang first married into the Shi family, she would always blush and tell him how harsh her mother was to her.
He would only think Huang Ying was being pretentious.
Every family hires a wife to take care of the whole family and serve her in-laws.
Why is Huang Ying always so troublesome?
Once he gets impatient, how can he possibly maintain a good attitude?
First she was scolded, then warned to be obedient and to always put her mother first.
As she went through these experiences more and more, Huang Ying gradually became more sensible.
Silent and obedient, with a numb expression.
He was quite pleased with himself for this...
But now, Huang Ying, who has left him and the Shi family, is actually... is actually smiling so happily?
A nameless rage surged within him, and Shi Daqiang, his face grim, lifted the curtain and went inside.
Upon hearing the noise, Yu and Huang Ying turned to look.
The laughter stopped abruptly after they saw Shi Daqiang's face clearly.
Huang Ying's eyes were cold and devoid of warmth, as if she were looking at an insignificant stranger.
On Shi Yu's delicate little face, a look of disgust appeared without any attempt to hide it.
And what about Shi Daqiang himself?
They were completely unaware of the mother and daughter's disgusted reaction.
As soon as he entered the room, his eyes were drawn to the food on the table.
"Gurgle!"
Shi Daqiang couldn't help but swallow.
He felt neglected at home and was in a bad mood, so he didn't eat enough. After walking around for a while, he naturally got hungry.
But to everyone's surprise, just when Shi Daqiang thought that as usual, the family would give him all the good things to eat and eagerly offer them to him, the mother and daughter simultaneously looked away.
"Mom, have another bowl of egg drop soup!"
"Yes, then Mother will have another bowl. I must say, today's soup is really delicious."
"Hehe, I think it tastes amazing too."
Shi Yu and Huang Ying completely ignored him.
Shi Daqiang's face stiffened.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." He tried to make a noise, hoping to attract the attention of the mother and daughter.
Unfortunately, the mother and daughter still didn't even glance at him.
Now, Shi Daqiang's face turned pale and flushed, and he was extremely embarrassed.
He bit his lip and forced himself to walk over and sit down on the stool next to him.
"Sigh!" Shi Daqiang sighed, his tone unusually gentle and earnest, "Yingzi, look at you, all I did was lock you up for two days."
"And you didn't do anything?"
"I came to you first, and you still ignore me. When did you become so inconsiderate?"
Huang Ying paused for a moment while chewing.
She had heard those words far too many times before.
I thought I would get angry as before if I heard it again, but to my surprise, I didn't feel much of a stir in my heart at this moment.
It turns out that indifference and ignoring someone is the greatest revenge.
"Yingzi!" Huang Ying's reaction displeased Shi Daqiang. He got up somewhat irritably and went over to pull Huang Ying away.
But to everyone's surprise, Shi Yu stopped them.
Does it make sense?
"What?"
His steps were blocked, and Shi Daqiang, not understanding Shi Yu's meaning, looked completely bewildered.
"Your mother has already decided to divorce you, so why are you coming here to seek validation?"
"impossible!"
Even at this point, Shi Daqiang still thought Huang Ying was just teasing him.
With just a glance, Huang Ying guessed what he was thinking.
"Shi Daqiang, I'm serious. I can't go on with you anymore. If you still care about our years of relationship, let's part ways amicably!"
The gentler the tone, the more powerful it is.
Shi Daqiang was struck dumb and panicked.
Cowardly as he was, he didn't know how to ease the tension between him and his wife; his expression only grew more and more ferocious.
"Divorce? Huang Ying, dream on! You'll never get a divorce in this lifetime. You were born a member of the Shi family, and you'll die a ghost of the Shi family!"
"Really?" Shi Yu glanced at him. "But I'm telling you, we can definitely get a divorce."
Shi Daqiang looked at Shi Yu.
At that moment, he understood everything.
"Good heavens! Shi Yu, you little beast, it was you who stirred up your mother, wasn't it?" Shi Daqiang cursed loudly, "You worthless piece of trash, how could my Shi family have produced such a scourge?"
"If I had known you were so vicious, I should have thrown you into the sea to drown you when you were born."
Huang Ying was fine before they separated, but now that she and Shi Yu are living separately, things have turned out like this.
If it wasn't her who instigated it, who else could it be?
"Shi Daqiang, don't you understand yet? This whole mess is because of your own cowardice. What right do you have to scold Yu Yu?"
Huang Ying became anxious when her daughter was scolded.
Shi Yu patted her shoulder reassuringly.
After calming Huang Ying down, she looked at Shi Daqiang and said meaningfully, "You don't know yet, do you? Only by getting your household registration book can we get a divorce."
"What? The household registration booklet?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Daqiang's expression changed drastically.
He will never get a divorce no matter what you say.
Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and ran out.
"Hey! Yu Yu, you really shouldn't have said that." Huang Ying frowned anxiously. "Da Qiang must have gone home to hide the household registration book by now."
Shi Yu laughed, "Hide it! I'll be unhappy if he doesn't hide it."
"Mom, I'm full. I'm going out for a walk."
...
After leaving home, Shi Yu followed Shi Daqiang discreetly and quietly slipped into the old Shi family's courtyard.
I pressed myself against the window and stood on tiptoe to look inside.
Shi Daqiang first rummaged through the cabinet and found the household registration booklet at the very bottom.
"Phew!" Holding the household registration book in his hand, Shi Daqiang breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Then, he thought about it seriously and felt that keeping the household registration book in the cabinet was not safe.
He turned around and walked towards the kitchen, hiding the household registration booklet directly in the kang hole on the far side.
After doing all this, a satisfied look finally appeared on Shi Daqiang's face.
This scene was witnessed by Shi Yu.
She curled her lips into a cold laugh.
very good!
Doesn't that tell her where the household registration book is hidden?
Then, Shi Yu tiptoed away.
As Shi Yu walked out of the Shi family's gate and reached the shadowy corner of the wall, a limping figure brushed past her.
The other party was in a hurry and didn't notice Shi Yu.
Shi Yu glanced at him subconsciously.
It's Guan the Cripple.
I heard that this cripple Guan is over forty years old and a bachelor.
He was of poor character, idle and lazy, fond of petty theft, and spent his days teasing either the young wives of this family or the young ladies of that family.
Most people on the island find him quite annoying.
Shi Yu didn't think much of it, and left the moment after looking away.
Guan the Cripple stopped in front of Lao Shi's house.
