Chapter 75 Divorce 1
"I agree." When Zhuang Chaoying said this, he didn't dare to look at Huang Ling and lowered his head even more.
"Let's go! Let's go back to the factory to get a certificate, and then go to the Civil Affairs Bureau." Huang Ling answered happily.
"Wait, let's go get the beautiful girl first..." Zhuang's mother said immediately.
"What are you dreaming about! I saved him, what if you regret it later?" Huang Ling didn't wait for her to finish, the expression on her face told her, if you say that again, I will slap you.
"But..." Zhuang's mother felt so distressed when she thought that Zhuang Ganmei would have to suffer in there for another day.
"Anyway, we still have 1,800 yuan even without a divorce certificate. Don't even think about me trying to get it back. Let's see who loses the most! Don't just sit there and wait. Withdraw the money when you need it, pool it, and borrow it when you need it. If you don't see the money, just wait another day. I can wait, but I don't know if Zhuang Ganmei can."
Zhuang's father and mother were only thinking about the divorce and forgot that the agreement also required them to pay back the money. They looked reluctant.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Director Zhou of their factory is in the hospital next door. I just ran into him." Huang Ling reminded.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang looked at each other.
"Don't worry about that! Get the money first!" Lin Fang urged them when she saw that they were hesitating.
"Yes, we'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying left the hospital together.
Zhuang's father felt pained thinking about the 1,800 yuan. He said to Lin Fang:
"We can't come up with that much money right now, so you guys should give some too! Didn't we save all the money for the beauty hunt? Now that he's in trouble, you should at least give some!"
"What does it have to do with me? I don't have the money! You guys ask Big Brother for this money every month, so it's definitely you who should pay it back now! How can you still ask me to pay it back? He didn't give it to me!"
Lin Fang became anxious when she heard that Zhuang's father wanted to squeeze her money.
"No, we used it all to subsidize you! Look at how much we spent on what Zhendong and Zhenbei eat and use!" Father Zhuang was so angry that his face turned green.
"Then you should buy some food and daily necessities for your grandson. Shouldn't they have the surname Zhuang?" Lin Fang was unhappy when she heard that.
"What an ungrateful person!"
"Whatever you say, I didn't do that anyway. If your son doesn't get out, if he goes to jail, then I will definitely divorce him. I can't let him affect me. I'm still young!"
Zhuang's mother fell into a chair, holding her chest.
"Stop pretending! It works with Zhuang Chaoying, but it won't work with me! He's in the hospital right now, he won't die! You still have time to talk to me? Go get the money! Go to a few more savings banks and you'll have it!"
Lin Fang rolled her eyes at Zhuang's mother, full of disdain, and continued, "When Gan Mei returns, I'll tell him that you're reluctant to pay back the money! Let's see how you face him!"
When Zhuang's father and mother saw Lin Fang's attitude, they knew that she was unreliable and could only go home to get the money.
Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying haven't been alone together for a long time.
"Aling, I'm sorry." Zhuang Chaoying didn't know what to say.
"Don't say these useless things. They can't make up for the damage I've suffered, and they won't help me in the future. Just look forward to it!"
"Tunan..."
"I know you have nowhere to live right now. I'll give you a month to rent a house and then let Tunan move in."
"Okay, I'll give you Tunan's living expenses."
"That's for sure. Also, I have a suggestion for you."
Zhuang Chaoying raised his head and saw that Huang Ling looked very serious, so he nodded:
"you say."
"I suggest you rent a slightly larger place and bring Pengfei over. You can imagine how Pengfei's days will be like at the Zhuang family! Your sister won't let Pengfei go back, so there's no point in sending him away. It's better to keep him and train him well. He might be more useful than a son."
Zhuang Chaoying was stunned.
"At least it's much better than spending your energy and money on your ungrateful brother." Huang Ling sneered.
"But I'm worried about affecting Tunan's high school entrance..."
"Then you can rent three rooms, or you and Pengfei can live together and let Tunan live in a room by himself. But you do need to set rules for Pengfei. Tunan can't be disturbed during his studies, and don't even think about asking Tunan to teach him. That would be a waste of Tunan's time. You should teach him yourself."
"Come to think of it, I don't believe that having one more person at home means I can't study. Then when I go to college and live in a dormitory, won't I still be able to study?"
Zhuang Chaoying nodded.
It was not until then that Zhuang Chaoying felt that he had normal communication with Huang Ling.
It turns out that only by setting her free can she communicate with him normally.
When she arrived at the factory, Zhuang Chaoying saw Director Lan taking out the divorce agreement and documents. Only then did she realize that she had known that this would be the outcome and had already left the things with Director Lan.
It seems that he has indeed made up his mind.
Director Lan glanced at the two of them and confirmed, "Xiao Huang, Teacher Zhuang, have you discussed this?"
"Yes, I've thought about it." Huang Ling answered without thinking.
Zhuang Chaoying pushed his glasses up, hesitated for a while, and finally answered, "I've thought about it."
Director Lan issued a certificate to them.
The two went to wait at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, but by lunchtime, the Zhuang family still hadn't come to deliver the money.
"Maybe in the afternoon, after all, the money..."
"Let's go eat!" Huang Ling suggested.
The state-owned restaurant is just across the street. At noon, the restaurant is crowded with guests.
Zhuang Chaoying seldom eats out at restaurants. His family lives a tight life, so he doesn't have the spare money to eat out.
Actually, it doesn’t cost much, but I just think it’s more cost-effective than eating at home.
Previously, Huang Ling had suggested that the whole family go out for a meal, but he immediately refused. After that, Huang Ling never suggested it again.
Now think about it, if I give my family three or five dollars every month, I can give the whole family a good meal.
But it's too late to regret now.
So, he said generously: "I'll treat you to a meal."
"No, I don't want you Zhuang family members to say later that Huang Ling ate a meal with me on the day of divorce and spent several dollars on it!" Huang Ling smiled.
“…”
"I'll treat you." Huang Ling sat down and started ordering food.
She ordered two stir-fries and rice.
The two of them ate in silence, which formed a sharp contrast with the lively scenes at other tables.
"From now on, can our whole family get together here for a meal every month?" Zhuang Chaoying suggested timidly.
"Okay, don't worry, we'll split the money in half." Huang Ling agreed readily.
Zhuang Chaoying insisted on paying with food coupons for this meal. Huang Ling was too lazy to argue with him because she was afraid that he would compete to pay, so she ordered cheap dishes to avoid the Zhuang family's complaints later.
They returned to the Civil Affairs Bureau and waited again.
Not knowing how long to wait, Huang Ling took out a book from her bag and started reading. Zhuang Chaoying looked down and saw: "High-Efficiency Pig Farming Technology, Second Edition".
