Chapter 142: Leave the House with Nothing, Don’t Be Soft-hearted
"I..." Brother Xu didn't know what to say.
"If you don't tell me, I'll go ask my second sister-in-law." Xu Ruyun said.
"This..." Brother Xu felt a little guilty.
"Tell me, is it you who has someone outside, or is it your second sister-in-law who has someone outside?" Xu Ruyun said. Second Brother Xu has dividends from the factory and demolition compensation, so he might have someone outside. Yu Li has a higher degree than Second Brother Xu, so it is possible that Yu Li is looking for someone else.
"It's not your second sister-in-law." said Brother Xu.
"So that's you, second brother?" Xu Ruyun opened her eyes wide. She hated people who betrayed their marriage the most, regardless of whether they were men or women.
If it was Yu Li who had wronged Brother Xu, Xu Ruyun would have definitely tried to deal with Yu Li and made Brother Xu divorce Yu Li. But it was Brother Xu who had wronged her, so Xu Ruyun would never have thought of making Brother Xu divorce Yu Li.
"Does that woman have children?" Xu Ruyun asked.
"No, but..."
"But what?" Xu Ruyun said coldly, "You and your second sister-in-law already have a son. It's not like you don't have a son. Are you still planning to have another one?"
"I'm not planning on having another child." Brother Xu said, "It's just... it wasn't easy for her either. After she divorced her husband..."
"Why do you care whether she is divorced from her husband?" Xu Ruyun said, "She is divorced, but that is not a reason for you to be with her."
Xu Ruyun had never thought that her second brother would actually look for another woman. Men are all so mean. When they have money, they like to look for other women. Since Yu Li had not wronged the second brother Xu, Xu Ruyun would naturally not say anything bad about Yu Li.
"Do you want to divorce your second sister-in-law?" Xu Ruyun asked.
“……” Brother Xu was silent.
"If you want to divorce your second sister-in-law, then all the shares of the company will be given to your son." Xu Ruyun said, "and the demolition compensation will also be given to your son."
Xu Ruyun's idea was very simple. When Xu Erge was with that woman, that woman only cared about Xu Erge's money. If Xu Erge didn't have money, how would Xu Erge and that daughter live in the future?
"I'm not thinking about divorce." said Brother Xu.
"You didn't want a divorce, but you're still looking for a woman outside?" Xu Ruyun said, "I'm telling you, this matter must be resolved. Either you get out with that woman, or you divorce your second sister-in-law. From now on, I will only recognize my second sister-in-law, not you as my second brother."
Even if Second Brother Xu is Xu Ruyun's brother with the same father and mother, so what? If her brother does something wrong, he must be punished and cannot pretend that nothing has happened.
"Second sister-in-law is such a good person. If you didn't have a residence permit in Nancheng, do you think you could have married such a top student like her?" Xu Ruyun said, "When you were setting up the stall, Second sister-in-law accompanied you to set up the stall."
"Your second sister-in-law once offended Su Xueqing." said Brother Xu.
"Su Xueqing didn't care about something that happened so long ago, but you care about it?" Xu Ruyun snorted coldly, "If you want to find another woman, don't use others as an excuse. Think about it and make a choice."
"Do I have to make a choice?" Brother Xu didn't really want to make a choice. He felt that he could completely balance the relationship between the two women. Couldn't he just not get a divorce? He could just continue to be with that woman.
"Yes, you must make a choice." Xu Ruyun said, "If you can't make a choice, I will make a choice for you. You divorce your second sister-in-law and leave the house with nothing."
"Kick out with nothing?" Brother Xu opened his eyes wide.
"That's right." Xu Ruyun said, "Second sister-in-law only has one son, and her things will definitely be left to her son in the future. Even if the money is in your hands, those things may not necessarily go to your son."
Brother Xu didn't want to leave the house with nothing. If he really left the house with nothing, he would have no money and he couldn't make much money from his job, so how could he maintain his current life? Brother Xu was used to spending more money, and if he went back to his old frugal life, he really couldn't bear it.
"Think about it carefully." Xu Ruyun said, "I'll go talk to my second sister-in-law."
"Ruyun, let's not talk about it for now." Brother Xu said, "How about you meet that person first..."
"A mistress is a mistress. What's the point?" Xu Ruyun said, "She clearly knew that you had a wife and a son, but she still hooked up with you. That's despicable of her. You have the biggest problem. You know your own situation, but you still go with other women."
When Xu Erge and Yu Li just got married, they had a very good relationship. Xu Erge listened to Yu Li in everything, and Yu Li accompanied Xu Erge to set up the stall, and she never complained about the hard work. But now, Xu Erge is looking for another woman. How many men can maintain their love for women forever?
Xu Ruyun felt that there was a reason why Ning Yanjing could make his business so strong. Look at how good Ning Yanjing was to Su Xueqing. Even though the Su family was in a mess, Ning Yanjing never said anything wrong to Su Xueqing. Ning Yanjing also often bought gifts for Su Xueqing.
Xu Ruyun had seen Su Xueqing at the banquet. Ning Yanjing often stayed by Su Xueqing's side and never let Su Xueqing stay alone for too long. Ning Yanjing valued Su Xueqing, so those people valued Su Xueqing more. If Ning Yanjing didn't value Su Xueqing, those people wouldn't value Su Xueqing so much, and they might even laugh at Su Xueqing behind her back.
When Yu Li heard Xu Ruyun's method, she thought for a moment and said, "I will divorce your second brother."
"Okay, since this is your choice, you should divorce my second brother." Xu Ruyun said, "Actually, I don't really want you to get divorced. But this is your choice, and I respect you."
In her previous life, Xu Ruyun wanted to divorce Liao Jiankai, but everyone around her disagreed. Xu Ruyun knew how difficult it was for a woman to divorce a man. People around her would say that the couple had a child, that they had a foundation of love, and that they had been together for so many years, so why divorce? She would not be able to find someone as good as her if she looked for another partner.
After dinner, regardless of whether it was the second day of the Chinese New Year, Xu Ruyun told Xu's father and mother directly about the fact that Xu's second brother had found another woman. This kind of thing cannot be delayed. If it is delayed, it will be bad for everyone. The sooner it is resolved, the sooner you can feel at ease.
"Divorce?" Xu's mother was surprised. "He's your biological brother."
"There's nothing wrong with him being my biological brother, but he made a mistake," Xu Ruyun said.
"Your second brother... your second brother knows he is wrong, so there is no need to divorce." Mother Xu looked at Yu Li again, "In the beginning, in order to stay in Nancheng..."
"No matter why Second Sister-in-law married Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law has given birth to a child for Second Brother, and Second Sister-in-law has not looked for another man outside." Xu Ruyun said, "Second Brother is wrong, not Second Sister-in-law. Mom, don't look for reasons in Second Sister-in-law, and don't say that Second Sister-in-law was with Second Brother for a purpose. With Second Brother's original conditions, Second Sister-in-law didn't marry him, and he wouldn't have been able to find someone as good as Second Sister-in-law."
"Let's not talk about this matter during the New Year." Xu's mother wanted to delay, "The people in the relevant departments are not at work now."
Xu's mother didn't want Xu's second brother to divorce Yu Li. She was quite satisfied with Yu Li, who gave birth to a son for Xu's second brother. If Xu's second brother divorced Yu Li, and the child was already grown up, Xu's mother was worried that the child would resent Xu's second brother after knowing the truth. The best way was for Xu's second brother and Yu Li not to divorce. The two of them could have a good discussion and the problem could still be solved.
"We should talk it over among ourselves before the people from the relevant departments come to work," Xu Ruyun said. "After they come to work, we can just go and get a divorce. My idea is to let my second brother leave the house with nothing and let my second sister-in-law take care of the child. My second sister-in-law only has one child, and she will definitely think about the child. At my second sister-in-law's age, even if she remarries, it is unlikely that she will have another child."
Xu Ruyun knew that some people still had children in their forties, but not everyone did. Many women did not remarry after divorce or widowhood. Having children was enough, so why would they look for another man to suffer? Xu Ruyun did not know whether Yu Li would remarry at that time. If she did, it would be appropriate.
"The house will be changed to the child's name. As for the money, some will be kept in the child's name and some will be kept in the second sister-in-law's name." Xu Ruyun said.
"We can put everything in the child's name," Yu Li said. She has a salary and can support herself. When she retires, she will also have a pension. "All I need is a house."
This is to prevent the child from not wanting to live with Yu Li in the future. Yu Li has her own house to live in, so she doesn't have to worry about renting a house. It's not easy for the elderly to rent a house. Yu Li has to think about the future and not just think about the present.
"That's fine too." Xu Ruyun had no objection.
"You should think about it carefully. Divorce doesn't sound good after all..."
"Mom, what era is this?" Xu Ruyun said, "It's my second brother who is wronging my second sister-in-law, not my second sister-in-law. My second brother is such a wicked person, we can't help him. Letting my second brother and second sister-in-law divorce is indeed the best choice. My second brother can find any woman he wants to be with, and stop harming my second sister-in-law."
"You..." Xu's mother didn't understand why Xu Ruyun stood on Yu Li's side, since Yu Li and Xu Ruyun had no blood relationship.
"Then do as Ruyun says." Brother Xu was not very happy, but he had no choice. In the Xu family, what Xu Ruyun said was very effective. Brother Xu's lover forced him to divorce several times, but he did not. Brother Xu thought that at worst, he could live in his lover's house. After all, his salary was still his own, and he could still pay for his living expenses.
"What I mean is that you don't have a share in the house, understand?" Xu Ruyun said.
"I understand, I understand." said Brother Xu.
Brother Xu and his wife were sitting next to him. When they learned that Brother Xu was looking for a woman outside, they just thought it was ridiculous. You know, when Brother Xu and Yu Li just got married, they had a very good relationship. In the following years, Brother Xu and his wife didn't realize that Brother Xu didn't like Yu Li. But now they were caught in this situation. Brother Xu was really hiding it.
For the sake of so-called love and to prevent his lover from being abandoned, Brother Xu agreed to divorce.
After the relevant departments came to work, Xu Erge and Yu Li divorced. Yu Li lived in her original home with her children. Fortunately, Xu Ruyun stood on Yu Li's side. If Xu Ruyun stood on Xu Erge's side, Yu Li would have a hard time divorcing Xu Erge.
Yu Li does not regret the divorce. The man betrayed her, and he would continue to betray her in the future. Yu Li once wondered if she would not be able to hold on and find another man. After all, Brother Xu was not well educated, and the two of them often talked for less than a minute. Who would have thought that Yu Li did not find another man, but Brother Xu found another woman.
After this incident spread, everyone found it unbelievable. They all thought that it must be Yu Li who went out to find a man, but it turned out not to be Yu Li.
When Su Yanan told Su Xueqing about Yu Li and Xu Erge, Su Xueqing was a little surprised. You know, the original content is very long, Su Xueqing didn't read it very far, and didn't know that Yu Li and Xu Erge would divorce.
"It's time for a divorce." Su Xueqing said, "The child is already grown up. Besides, if you can make the man leave the house with nothing, then divorce him. If you can't make him leave the house with nothing, you have to make him shed a layer of skin."
"The people from the relevant departments just came to work, and they went to get a divorce." Su Yanan said, "Xu Ruyun can still make the decision on the Xu family's side."
"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded, "Why should women make things difficult for other women? Xu Ruyun made the right decision. If a man finds a woman outside, don't think about whether he will return to the family. Who knows whether he will return to the family? Don't pin your hopes on others. You still have to live a good life for yourself."
"It's just that no one expected Xu Ruyun to do that." Su Yanan said, "That was her dear second brother, and she simply made him leave the house with nothing."
"Her second brother could disagree, but he agreed." Su Xueqing said, "That's because Yu Li gave birth to a son for him. Yu Li only has one child, so the things will eventually fall on the child's head."
To put it bluntly, the Xu family knew what would happen in the end. As long as the property fell into the hands of the second brother Xu's children, it meant that the Xu family had not lost anything. As for whether Yu Li would remarry, if Yu Lizhen remarried, the Xu family would definitely keep an eye on Yu Li and make her divide the property properly, not letting her give the property to her stepchildren.
"Yes." Su Yanan said, "The Xu family is very smart. If Xu Ruyun's second brother took the money away, who knows who would get the money in the end. Women always think more about their children, and men, under a few nice words from women, will give the money to women, and women will give the money to their children."
"I really didn't expect it to be like this." Su Xueqing sighed.
"This is normal." Su Yanan said, "Xu Ruyun made her eldest brother and second brother earn so much money. Her second brother earns more money. He has a job as a wife and gets dividends from the factory. When men have money, they tend to become arrogant and like to find women outside. Especially for those who originally came from a poor family and suddenly became rich, they are more likely to lose control of themselves and look for other women. You...you should also take a closer look at your brother-in-law."
"Yan Jing is fine." Su Xueqing said, "If he dared to do this, I would definitely divorce him."
"What divorce?" Ning Yanjing had just returned home when he heard what Su Xueqing and Su Yanan said.
"You're talking about my college classmate." Su Xueqing said, "Yu Li, the one who married Xu Ruyun's second brother."
"She is divorced?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"Yes, her man is looking for another woman outside." Su Xueqing said.
"I remember her husband didn't have a high level of education." Ning Yanjing said.
"It's not high." Su Xueqing said, "If a man wants to find another woman outside, his education level will not be affected. In the past, Xu Ruyun's second brother liked Yu Li very much, but now he has become like this."
Su Xueqing looked at Ning Yanjing, and Ning Yanjing quickly said, “I’m not those people.”
"That's good, that's good." Su Yanan said quickly, "I just wanted to chat with Xue Qing, I don't have any other intentions."
Su Yanan was afraid that Ning Yanjing would be unhappy, but she was indeed worried that Ning Yanjing would not be able to let Su Xueqing down. Su Xueqing was a person who could not tolerate any sand in her eyes. If something really happened, Su Xueqing would not turn a blind eye. Su Xueqing had a certain social status and a stable job, so she did not need to be too afraid.
"It's okay, you guys chat." Ning Yanjing said, "Just a normal chat, it's okay."
It was impossible for Ning Yanjing to stop Su Yanan from chatting with Su Xueqing. Su Yanan was a smart person. Su Yanan never interfered in the affairs between Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing. Ning Yanjing knew it all.
Su Yanan left after lunch. She didn't want to have lunch at first, saying she wanted to go to the store. Su Xueqing said there were other people watching the store, so there was no need to rush. Su Yanan had lunch with Su Xueqing, and after lunch, she was in a hurry to go back.
Su Xueqing sent Su Yanan to the door before going back.
"Time flies." Su Xueqing sighed, "I remember that Yu Li's child seemed to be in high school when they divorced. Well, if you want to divorce, you should do it sooner rather than later. If you can't maintain superficial peace, the child will sooner or later notice it. If you really wait until that time, the child will only be more sad inside, which will affect his study even more."
"The inside is already rotten, there's no use keeping it." Ning Yanjing said. He looked down on Brother Xu's actions.
No matter why Yu Li married Brother Xu, Yu Li is very outstanding. Brother Xu has a low level of education, but he had the advantage of having a household registration in Nancheng.
Ning Yanjing doesn't like those who look for women outside and attribute it to the wife's problem at home. What problems can there be with the wife at home? Finding a wife is not like finding a nanny. You can't always expect your wife to do a lot of things for you. That's unrealistic. When a man has a wife, he should make his wife live a happy and comfortable life instead of always finding her shortcomings.
How can a person be without flaws? As long as you find a small flaw, there will be countless gaps.
It's not like Ning Yanjing didn't find faults in others when doing business. No matter how outstanding a person is, they all have shortcomings.
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." Ning Yanjing said. He liked to say these words directly to his wife, be straightforward.
"Of course you are not." Su Xueqing said, "If you become like that, you are not my husband, and I will not like you anymore."
When Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing first got together, they were not so deeply in love. But after a long time, Su Xueqing naturally fell in love with Ning Yanjing. After so many years, the relationship between the two is still very good.
No one in the community thought about the Xu family's affairs, let alone Xu Ruyun helping Yu Li. Someone whispered to Xu's mother that Xu Ruyun was meddling too much. If something happened to her brother, even if he was at fault, shouldn't Xu Ruyun help him more?
"Why is the younger sister like this?"
"Divorce, can that be a good thing?"
"You already have a child, why are you getting divorced?"
"Why are you trying to kick me out of the house? Why don't you let your son take a little more?"
…
Those people didn't care whether Second Brother Xu had found another woman first, they just felt that Xu Ruyun shouldn't have let Second Brother Xu and his wife divorce like that. Second Brother Xu and his wife had been married for many years, even if they had some time to talk it out and discuss it, this matter would have been over, why make it so complicated?
"Divorce is good. They have children anyway, and the things belong to the children." Xu's mother understood what these people meant.
Xu's mother didn't dare to say anything bad about Xu Ruyun. If it weren't for Xu Ruyun, the family wouldn't have lived so comfortably before. They had to wait for the demolition for many years. Without Xu Ruyun, they would have to live a hard life. Xu's mother knew all these things clearly and couldn't put down her bowl and curse her mother.
Xu Ruyun is the smartest person in the Xu family. All the Xu family members know that they have to listen to Xu Ruyun. Xu Ruyun is now the daughter-in-law of the Yan family. The Yan family is rich and powerful. Although the Yan family cannot compare with the Ning family, it is more than enough to compare with the Xu family.
The Xu family still expected Xu Ruyun to help the younger generation of the Xu family in the future, so they naturally couldn't go against Xu Ruyun at this time. Second Brother Xu agreed himself and didn't make a fuss about disagreeing. If Second Brother Xu disagreed himself, perhaps Mother Xu would have said a few words.
As for Big Brother Xu and Big Sister Xu, they were thinking that it was not their family that was in trouble, so they just had to watch. Second Brother Xu and Xu Ruyun had always had a good relationship, so Big Sister Xu should not get involved in those things, so as not to get involved in them, which would not please others and would not benefit them either.
Brother Xu was controlled by Sister Xu, and the two of them sometimes quarreled. They quarreled more often than Second Brother Xu and Yu Li. No one expected that Brother Xu and Sister Xu did not divorce, but Second Brother Xu divorced Yu Li.
Mrs. Xu thought that although Second Brother Xu made so much money, so what? Second Brother Xu found another woman outside, Yu Li must be feeling bad.
After Brother Xu divorced Yu Li, Yu Li went to Xu's house less frequently. After all, she was just an outsider.
This time, Yu Li took her child to Xu's house, but she ran into Xu's second brother with his lover. When the two sides met, Yu Li frowned. The child was still in high school, and Xu's second brother brought that woman back to Xu's house so carelessly, and the child saw it.
"Get out, take this woman out!" When Xu's mother saw Yu Li and her grandson, she hurriedly told Second Brother Xu to take everyone away.
Xu Ruyun had already told Xu's mother that she was not allowed to let Xu's second brother bring that woman back. If Xu's second brother brought that woman back, they must be driven out and not allowed to affect the Xu family.
Naturally, Xu's mother listened to Xu Ruyun. The most important thing now was her grandson, not her second brother Xu.
Xu Erge didn't expect that he would be kicked out by Xu's mother when he came back with his girlfriend. Xu Erge's lover only cared about his money. Now that he was kicked out of the house, his lover was very unhappy. She wanted Xu Erge to ease the relationship with the Xu family. Maybe Xu Ruyun could help Xu Erge more.
"Why is your ex-wife here?" After being kicked out, Brother Xu's girlfriend was very dissatisfied, "We haven't even sat down yet."
Just her, and she still wants to sit down?
Xu's mother didn't react at the time and thought that Xu's second brother was just an ordinary friend. When she came to her senses, she was ready to drive him away. Coincidentally, Yu Li came with her child, so Xu's mother naturally couldn't delay.
"She came here with her child." said Brother Xu.
"I think she did it on purpose." Brother Xu's lover said, "They're already divorced, so why not just let the child come over? The child is not young anymore, the child can come over by himself, why does she want to come over?"
Xu's lover was unhappy, she thought Yu Li was deliberately disgusting her. Yu Li didn't know when Xu's second brother would bring people to Xu's house. If she had known that Xu's second brother would bring people to Xu's house at this time, she would definitely not bring her son.
After Xu Ruyun learned about this incident, she went directly to find Xu Erge. Xu Erge is now temporarily living in his lover's house. His lover's house is not big, but it is still habitable. His lover is still thinking about the money of the Xu family, so he let Xu Erge live there, but after a while, his lover is not very happy. Xu Erge has a salary, but compared with the dividends of the factory and the demolition compensation, it is considered small.
"Brother, don't take her back home." Xu Ruyun said, "I've already told mom that this person is your lover, not our Xu family's daughter-in-law."
"Don't say that. I can get a marriage certificate with her later." Brother Xu said.
"Whether you have obtained the marriage certificate or not, she is the mistress." Xu Ruyun said, "A decent family would never let someone like this take the throne."
"We are just an ordinary family." Brother Xu said, "We..."
"For ordinary people, that's even more impossible." Xu Ruyun said, "How much money do you have? Do you really think she values you? Just wait and see."
After Xu Ruyun said these words, she left. Xu Ruyun didn't want to say too much. It was useless to say too much. In the previous life, Xu Ruyun and Liao Jiankai's marriage was like that. It was useless for others to say anything. If a man wants to find a woman outside, he will find one. In the previous life, Liao Jiankai found Deng Manni as his lover. In this life, Liao Jiankai married Deng Manni, but he still found other women outside. What they say about true love is all lies.
How many men in this world can truly love a woman? Even if they do, how long can the love last?
Brother Xu watched Xu Ruyun leave. He really didn't expect Xu Ruyun's reaction to be so strong. Brother Xu even felt that Yu Li's reaction was not so strong, but Xu Ruyun thought so much about Yu Li.
Xu Ruyun was not thinking for Yu Li, she just saw the shadow of her past life in Yu Li. Yu Li was much better than Xu Ruyun in her past life, but Xu Erge still betrayed Yu Li.
If it weren't for the fact that Second Brother Xu was Xu Ruyun's biological brother, Xu Ruyun would have been able to curse even more harshly.
What the hell? Just because you have some money you act so unruly. Do you really think others are easy to bully?
"What a despicable thing." Xu Ruyun muttered as she left.
Brother Xu was helpless. He thought Xu Ruyun would not treat him like this, but Xu Ruyun's attitude towards him took a sharp turn for the worse.
Xu Ruyun didn't like the mistress, and she would never admit that the mistress was her second sister-in-law. Even if Second Brother Xu got married to that woman, Xu Ruyun would still have this attitude.
After Xu Ruyun left, Xu Erge's lover walked to Xu Erge's side. The lover was called Bu Xiulan. After Bu Xiulan divorced her husband, she soon got together with Xu Erge. Bu Xiulan's ex-husband was not very kind to her and often beat her. Bu Xiulan also had a son who lived with her. The house she lives in now is too small, with only two rooms, and it is a relatively old house.
Bu Xiulan wanted the Xu family's big house and wanted her son to live in it when he got married.
"You shouldn't be kicked out of the house." Bu Xiulan said, "You didn't even discuss it with me, and you left the house. Your sister is like this now, and those people all listen to her. Your ex-wife doesn't even need to step in, your sister is the one who handles these things."
Bu Xiulan was worried that she would not be able to get more from Xu Erge. What was the point of relying on that little salary? She was several years younger than Xu Erge. Bu Xiulan thought that if Xu Erge was really useless, then she would have to find someone else and could not continue to be with Xu Erge. She could not be a free nanny, and Xu Erge did not give her much from his salary, which was not worth it.
Brother Xu lives in his own home, and his own son already has some opinions about it.
"How much money do you have left? Can you buy a house?" Bu Xiulan asked.
"I only have 20,000 or 30,000 yuan left." said Brother Xu.
"You didn't save any money?" Bu Xiulan asked, "How come you only have this little money left?"
Bu Xiulan was not satisfied, she thought the money was too little. But Brother Xu did not think the money was too little, he could still live with it.
"It's quite a bit." Brother Xu said, "My sister originally told me not to take the money and to leave it all to my son. My ex-wife didn't take all the money, and she left some for me."
Xu Ruyun wanted Xu Erge to hand over the money. Yu Li knew that if she asked Xu Erge to hand over all the money, Xu Ruyun would be unhappy and the Xu family would think that Yu Li was greedy. She had to leave some money for Xu Erge. Xu Erge could do whatever he wanted with the money, and Yu Li would not interfere.
Yu Li divorced Brother Xu, and all financial matters have been settled and divided clearly.
"You are just too stupid." Bu Xiulan said, "What can you do with this little money? It's hard to buy a house. You know how expensive houses are in South City. Don't we need a wedding house when we get married? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others if you live with us?"
"This..." Brother Xu didn't consider whether others would laugh at him.
"You are not a live-in son-in-law." Bu Xiulan said, "When the house was demolished, your family had more than one house. You bought other houses before. You just gave them all the houses and didn't keep any for yourself. I tell you, if we get married, we must have a house. This house is for my son. If you really want to marry me, then buy a house and put my son's name on it."
"Write your son's name?" Brother Xu was surprised.
"Yes, if you marry me, you will be considered as the father of my son." Bu Xiulan said, "As a father, shouldn't you consider your son a little? If your name is written on the house, your ex-wife's son will come to fight for it in the future. If you give the house to my son, he will be filial to you in the future."
Brother Xu didn't expect that Bu Xiu Lan would ask him to buy a house in the name of Bu Xiu Lan's son. He didn't have a lot of money. If he saved up enough money to buy a house, he would have to pay off the mortgage later, and his life would be very tight.
"Are you unwilling?" Bu Xiulan asked.
"It's not that I don't want to, but we have to spend money to buy a house." Brother Xu said, "It will cost a lot of money and it will affect our quality of life."
"If you live in our house, it won't affect your quality of life?" Bu Xiulan said, "I'll give you two days to think about it carefully. If it doesn't work, we'll separate."
Bu Xiulan's eyes turned red after she finished speaking. She had always been weak in front of Brother Xu. Brother Xu felt very distressed when he saw Bu Xiulan like this.
Then, Xu Erge wanted to borrow money to buy a house, but Xu Dage and Xu Dasao refused to lend him money. Xu's mother wanted to lend him some money, but was stopped by Xu Ruyun. Xu Ruyun had expected that Bu Xiulan would let Xu Erge buy a house. It was not appropriate for Xu Erge, a grown man, to always live in someone else's house. Bu Xiulan would definitely let Xu Erge buy a house.
When Xu Erge didn't have enough money, he would ask Xu's family for help. Xu's family was unwilling to lend money, so Xu Erge had to ask Yan Yichen. Yan Yichen didn't care about that and asked Xu Erge to ask Xu Ruyun.
Xu Erge was depressed. He wanted Yu Li to give him more money, as if he had borrowed it, but he couldn't ask for it. His son was still with Yu Li, and Xu Erge couldn't let his son think that he was a bad father.
So Second Brother Xu had no choice but to go to Xu Ruyun's home to look for Xu Ruyun. Xu Ruyun was unwilling to let Second Brother Xu into the house, so she asked Second Brother Xu to stand at the door and talk directly.
Seeing this, Second Brother Xu felt even worse. When Second Brother Xu came here before, Xu Ruyun was very nice to him.
"Little sister, can you lend me some money to buy a house?" asked Brother Xu.
"No." Xu Ruyun said, "If you need a place to live, I can give you a small house for you to live in. The house cannot be transferred to you, and your lover cannot live there. You can only live there by yourself. Are you willing?"
Of course Brother Xu didn't want to, he just wanted to live with his lover, "Xiu Lan has a hard time, she..."
"It's not easy for her, but it's easy for my second sister-in-law?" Xu Ruyun said, "Why can't she find a widower or other divorced man? Why does she have to find a man like you who has a wife and a son? Second brother, if she really loves you, she will let you live with her. She wants you to buy a house. To put it bluntly, she doesn't love you enough and wants you to sacrifice for both of them. Her son is her ex-husband's, not yours!"
"From now on, that child must call me dad." said Brother Xu.
"Do you really think he will take care of you in your old age?" Xu Ruyun rolled her eyes. "I'm telling you, if you want to buy a house, you have to find a way yourself!"
Xu Ruyun was not going to bother with Xu Erge anymore, so Xu Erge had no choice but to go back.
Xu Erge couldn't borrow money to buy a house, Bu Xiulan had a big fight with Xu Erge, and Xu Erge was kicked out. Xu Erge had nowhere to go, and it was not convenient for him to live in Xu's house, so Xu's father and mother lived with Xu's eldest brother and his wife. Xu Erge divorced Yu Li, and he could no longer go to his original home.
Then, Brother Xu went to find a friend and stayed at his friend's house for a few days.
Ning Jiaxuan knew about this matter. Both Ning Jiaxuan and Su Xueqing were classmates of Yu Li.
"A few days ago, I met Yu Li outside." Ning Jiaxuan and Su Xueqing were in the flower room together. Ning Jiaxuan was also cutting flowers with scissors. "I think Yu Li is in good spirits. Yes, men are not that important. If you don't have this man, you can find other men. Yu Li's husband is really too much. Yu Li graduated from Nancheng University and is a teacher. How great. And her husband himself has a low degree and can't talk to her very well. Yu Li didn't find other men, but her husband found other women."
"As long as you are in good spirits, that's enough." Su Xueqing said.
"Xu Ruyun is pretty good." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I wouldn't be surprised if she stood on her second brother's side. A biological brother is a biological brother after all, and a biological brother is not someone else."
"Xu Ruyun is smart. She made her second brother leave the house with nothing. The things in the house are still given to her nephew and cannot be in the hands of outsiders." Su Xueqing said, "Yu Li is not the kind of person who takes everything from her mother's family. If Yu Li always takes her mother's family's side, do you think Xu Ruyun will still do that?"
Xu Ruyun had thought it over carefully before doing those things. Xu Ruyun couldn't really let her second brother lose everything. Yu Li's son was after all Xu's biological son. Now Xu was willing to leave the house with nothing and divorce. At least Xu could save some face in front of his son and let his son know that he, as a father, cared about his child. In other words, Xu would rather leave the house with nothing than to be with that woman.
Different statements can produce different effects.
After all, Brother Xu has loved his son for so many years. Boys are more likely to empathize with their fathers than with their mothers.
"If Xu Ruyun's second brother is not doing well, Yu Li's son will still take care of him." Su Xueqing said, "She is not stupid. She can gain a foothold in the Yan family. She is very capable."
Xu Ruyun did not have a high degree, but she had some brains, and she was not stupid. Rebirth could not increase a person's IQ, but Xu Ruyun's previous life was not bad. She could manage the family well and make all kinds of gadgets for the children.
"Indeed." Ning Jiaxuan nodded, "This Xu Ruyun is pretty good. It's just a pity... The other members of the Yan family are not that good."
"Whether the Yan family is good or not is not the most important thing for Xu Ruyun." Su Xueqing said, "The most important thing is whether the Yan family can bring her benefits. Xu Ruyun is at the bottom of society. If she wants to move up, she will have to pay a lot of price."
Su Xueqing relies on her diploma, and Xu Ruyun has to rely on her own brain.
"Others say Xu Ruyun is smart and that she can't change the habits of her lower class. In fact, those things are good things for Xu Ruyun." Su Xueqing said, "She can look at it from a different perspective."
A true heroine will not easily deny her past, but will only use past experiences to make herself grow better.
When Su Xueqing read the original novel, she felt that Xu Ruyun walked very steadily. Even though Su Xueqing didn't like some of Xu Ruyun's actions when she read the novel, human nature is selfish, and we should think more about ourselves rather than others.
"If I were her, I wouldn't necessarily do what she did." Su Xueqing said, "I don't like to cause trouble for myself. I might just let them handle it themselves. Whether they want a divorce or a reconciliation, it has nothing to do with me."
It's no wonder that novel is so good. A heroine with edges and corners is easier to like. Someone like me who is plain is more likely to be criticized and called hypocritical.
Su Xueqing has a clear understanding of herself, so she never thinks about asking others to praise her. She is just an ordinary person, and she just needs to do her job well.
"You are not her." Ning Jiaxuan said, "But I still prefer you like this."
Since Second Brother Xu had no place to live and went to live with his friend, Xu's mother felt a little soft-hearted.
"Don't be soft-hearted." Xu Ruyun said directly to Xu's mother, "How do you know if they are deliberately setting us up?"
