Chapter 426: The Joy of Divorce 2: Divorce is good, my precious son won’t have to do it…
In many things in this world, the reason why the parties involved are stuck in a dead end is simply because the sunk costs are too huge. If they start over, it is likely that it will be better to stick to the current gains, or even worse to stick to it and make the other party unhappy.
But what if there were other possibilities in their lives?
What if they could see justice come during their lifetime and wait until the perpetrators are put in jail?
Then their attitudes will naturally be different.
When Qu Zhen heard that she could send her husband's family to jail, she immediately changed her passive defensive stance to an active offensive one.
She grabbed Yao Zhizhi's hand, and her dejected eyes brightened instantly, like a window washed by a sandstorm. As long as someone wiped it carefully, it would surely regain its former brightness and clarity.
The moment she reached out and held Yao Zhizhi's hand, she picked up her own rag and bucket, ready to clean up her dusty and dusty life.
She swallowed excitedly, wanting to say something, but afraid of alarming the Yang family, she lowered her voice and asked, "Do you need me to provide evidence?"
Yao Zhizhi was taller than she was, and with her back to the people in the courtyard, she could block their view and prevent the Yang family from observing her lip movements. So she smiled and said in a barely audible voice, "That's for sure. But you have to promise me one thing."
Qu Zhen raised an eyebrow. Could this woman have some ulterior motive? It was only natural. She couldn't have worked so hard for her for nothing. It was only natural for her to ask for some compensation.
So before she opened her mouth, she quickly ran through the amount of cash she could come up with in her mind.
But before she could give an approximate figure, Yao Zhizhi said, "You must break off all ties with Zhao Yunxiang. Completely. And don't do anything like this again."
After all, making mistakes is not scary, what is scary is making the same mistake again and again and going down the same path to the end. Yao Zhizhi helps people based on principles. If Qu Zhen did not have such a sad experience, but was simply a restless and cheating person, she would not help.
After all, there is indeed a group of people in this world who have been forgotten by the pace of evolution. They can never get rid of their animal nature and can only follow their instincts and eat secretly outside.
These people are no different from pigs and dogs. Helping them is tantamount to aiding and abetting evil.
But Yao Zhizhi felt that people like Qu Zhen could still be saved, just like when she was willing to help Dou Zhener, the daughter-in-law of the Xue family who was being cared about by her father-in-law. The starting point was the same.
In this society, there are too many injustices inflicted on women. If it is a mistake with a reason, Yao Zhizhi is really willing to show leniency.
Coincidentally, this time it was also a pearl, a pearl that had fallen into the mud, lost its former luster, and was covered with mud and filth.
I hope that after the divorce, Qu Zhen can start over, just like Dou Zhener, in her new position, she can wash away the makeup and become a shining pearl.
However, Yao Zhizhi's request made Qu Zhen feel a little at a loss. Qu Zhen never expected that Editor-in-Chief Yao did not want money, but wanted her to be a person with a clear conscience.
A brand new person.
Her nose suddenly felt sore for no reason, so she had to turn her head and lie on her sister's shoulder, suppressing her tears and turning her trembling shoulders towards Yao Zhizhi.
Yao Zhizhi didn't say anything else. She silently put her hand on Qu Zhen's shoulder, shook it hard, and turned and left.
Many times, silence is better than words.
She knew that Qu Zhen's tears explained everything - Qu Zhen also had a sense of morality and shame. If she had not reached a dead end, she would not have been willing to degenerate and become a wicked person who cheated.
Qu Zhen buried her head in Qu Yao's shoulder and cried for a long time, so much so that she didn't even hear how Yao Zhizhi negotiated with the Yang family.
She only knew that when she came to her senses, the neighbors who were watching in the yard had already left, Yao Zhizhi and her mother-in-law had also left, and as for the people from the Yang family, they all went into the room, each with a sour face, and she didn't know what had happened to them, nor did she know if they were planning some vicious tricks.
It was only after Qu Yao mentioned it that Qu Zhen learned that the Yang family was willing to compensate her with a sum of money and let her divorce her husband.
This was far beyond Qu Zhen's imagination. She simply couldn't believe that a family like the Yang family was willing to compensate her?
Without hesitation, she rushed to the street outside the door, but unfortunately the black car driven by Yao Zhizhi had disappeared. Only the lights behind her reminded her that she had not completely escaped from her current cage.
She sighed silently, feeling annoyed that she hadn't even said thank you, which was really rude.
She turned around, held Qu Yao's hand, and asked, "What do you think I should buy tomorrow to visit her child?"
Qu Yao thought for a moment and advised, "Don't go. You and Zhao Yunxiang have gotten into such a mess that the neighbors are laughing at you. Editor Yao has also negotiated a divorce for you. If you get too close to her, people will inevitably suspect she's the same species as you. I think it's better to forget it."
"But..." Qu Zhen knew that her sister was right. She also knew that she was too embarrassed to go to her house, but it was hard to repay such a great favor.
Qu Yao had no choice but to persuade her again: "If you really want to thank her, then wait until she starts school and write a letter to her school. It's better not to cause trouble for her here in Yi City. Hurry up and go in, sister, find your marriage certificate, and come with me. We are not staying at the Yang family tonight."
Qu Zhen nodded. That was fine. Now that things had gotten to this point, if she continued to live in the Yang family, she might be in danger.
Qu Zhen took a look after entering the room, but before she could say anything, Yang's mother grabbed the teacup on the eight-immortals table beside her and smashed it at Qu Zhen's feet.
Qu Zhen did not hide. She stood still and looked at this vicious mother-in-law as calmly as possible, responding to all changes with the same attitude.
Yang's mother felt very aggrieved. She had no idea how Yao Zhizhi knew that her son had a child outside. If this matter were to be reported to the agricultural machinery factory, her son's future would be ruined.
There was no other way, the Yang family had to swallow their pride and accept the loss.
But now that Yao Zhizhi is gone, Mother Yang has nothing to worry about. The more she thinks about it, the angrier she gets. She always wants to do something, otherwise, wouldn't Qu Zhen be too proud?
Unexpectedly, just as she threw the teacup, a dog barking sounded at the door. A big snow-white wolfhound rushed from the road to the door, baring its teeth at Yang's mother.
Mother Yang screamed in fright and hid in her son's arms.
Although Qu Zhen was no longer surprised by this scene, she still rolled her eyes in disgust.
There are some things she is not comfortable telling others, for example, when she first got married, her mother-in-law always asked about her sex life with her husband Yang Chong.
For example, her mother-in-law always tells others that she stole her mother's son, and that raising a son is useless and that she will forget her mother after she gets a wife.
Every day is like a big opera. If I don’t recite it thirty or fifty times, I’m afraid the sun won’t get enough of watching the opera and won’t want to set.
At night, it was the moon and stars' turn to watch the show. Her mother-in-law was even more bizarre. She would lie on the door and listen for any noise.
She didn't know it at first, until she went out with a basin to get water to wipe the wet mat after sex, then she realized that her mother-in-law actually had a perverted hobby.
Naturally, life will not get better.
She disliked her mother-in-law for having no sense of boundaries, but her mother-in-law disliked her for taking away her precious son and targeted her everywhere.
The chaotic days came so unexpectedly, and her husband happened to be a filial son, so it was natural for her to be beaten.
Plus, her family always asks her for money...
When Qu Zhen thought of this, her grievance was replaced by anger, and the shame of having an affair was overcome by the unwillingness of suffering humiliation for many years. It was like pushing the piston in her lungs, making her close her eyes, exhale a long and deep breath of dirty air, and then slowly and gently take a breath of fresh air.
The next second, the surrounding neighbors were awakened by the woman's roar.
She roared angrily, "Mom, you lie at the door every night and eavesdrop on me and Yang Chong going to bed. Do you have any shame? If you think Dad is not good enough, then divorce him and find another one! There are so many strong and healthy young men out there. You won't have any trouble finding someone to keep you company!"
It’s over! It’s over! I’m going to be laughed at like a fool!
Mother Yang was caught off guard by this sudden counterattack and wanted to kill Qu Zhen to be done with it. But at this moment Qu Yao came in from outside and opened the door to let the snow-white wolfhound come forward. Judging from the posture, it might bite Mother Yang at any time.
Yang's mother had always been afraid of dogs. She screamed and collapsed in her son's arms, closing her eyes and fainting.
The Yang family was in chaos in an instant. Everyone was busy and either pinching people's noses or looking for handy tools to beat the dog.
Qu Zhen didn't give them a chance. Taking advantage of everyone's confusion, she rushed into the room, found her important documents and the last bit of cash. Before the Yang family could react, she called Qu Yao and slipped away. As she left, she didn't forget to shout, "Gouzi, who are you from? Go back!"
Yiyi barked and raised her chin, meaning that she wanted them to go first and she would cover their retreat.
Qu Zhen didn't understand, but Qu Yao got the gist of it. She grabbed her sister and walked into the night without looking back.
The next day, Yang Chong arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau on time and divorced Qu Zhen.
That afternoon, he ran excitedly to his lover's house, ready to go to her to get the marriage certificate and to take care of the household registration for his child. After all, his precious son couldn't always be an illegitimate child with an illegal household registration.
A week later, he completed all the procedures and successfully obtained the marriage certificate and expedited household registration for his child. He was so happy that he almost forgot himself and asked his mother to weigh a pound of pork belly to prepare a good meal.
When the delicious aroma of meat wafted through the yard and the laughter of children echoed through the yard, the leaders of the agricultural machinery factory and the government agency came together.
That’s right, Yang Chong’s happiness only lasted for a week, and then he and his parents were thrown into pain.
He wanted to quibble in front of his superiors, but the matter was handled by Xie Dayou, and he found solid evidence, including but not limited to, living with other people and having children during his marriage, accepting bribes while in office, arranging non-compliant personnel to work in the factory, and selling second-hand agricultural machinery to other cities under the pretext of assisting agricultural construction in other cities, and making profits from it.
The communication and coordination between Yang's father and mother were indispensable for this.
The amount involved in the case is huge and the evidence is detailed, especially the divorce compensation their family gave to Qu Zhen, which was a full 3,000 yuan, a huge sum that most people could not afford.
Yang Chong's defense seemed so pale and powerless.
It’s hateful that he just registered his son’s household registration, but he wants the child to bear the political background of his grandparents being in prison. It really harms the child. It would be better for him to be an illegal resident and wait until the next census to get a household registration.
Regret is of no use. Only the long-lasting anger and hatred support and spur him on. He must wait until he is released from prison and die together with the vicious woman Qu Zhen!

Chu Lingyi has been very upset recently. Zhao Yunxiang's affair has caused quite a stir. He was fired from the food factory and has been idle at home. Luo Xiang couldn't stand his betrayal, so she moved back to her parents' home crying and making a fuss.
Now, Chu Lingyi and Luo Xiang are obviously of the same age, but one calls the other "daughter" and the other calls the other "mom".
This scene is really funny and ironic.
Chu Lingyi was not a well-mannered person to begin with. Seeing Luo Xiang refusing to leave, she was extremely angry. She cried to Luo Chuizhui several times, but it was of no avail. She had no choice but to find a way to make Luo Xiang leave on her own.
So she would go out for a walk every day, and when she came back, she would bring some gossip about Zhao Yunxiang's cheating.
Luo Xiang was so angry that she could no longer bear it and fought with Chu Lingyi. Chu Lingyi naturally would not take a beating in vain and immediately fought back.
When the two women were pulling their hair at its most intense point, Zhang Tieshan came with their daughter in his hand.
Seeing her second ex-husband's fake smile, Chu Lingyi immediately came to her senses. She pushed Luo Xiang away, tugged at her shirt, straightened her messy hair, raised her head, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"
"You haven't visited your daughter for more than half a year. She misses you." Zhang Tieshan pushed the child in. "I'll go buy her two dresses and come pick her up later."
