"Tang Xiaoling, are you willing to divorce Yan Xinan, give up custody of your two children, give up your marital home in your hometown, and give up all the property acquired during the marriage?"
Tang Xiaoling hesitated for a moment. Should she give up? She could give up Duoduo, but she was reluctant to give up Wu Jinban. There was also such a nice wedding house in her hometown. Giving up seemed a bit unfair.
Southwest spoke up: "Judge, Tang Xiaoling had no property when she entered my family. We even paid for her job. Not only that, we also gave her a dowry of three hundred yuan."
It's said that you shouldn't hit someone in the face, but Southwest's blatant slap in the face dealt a severe blow to Tang Xiaoling's soaring self-esteem. It was almost as if he was saying outright that he had paid money to buy this woman into his home.
Enraged by the blow, Tang Xiaoling nodded without hesitation and said, "I don't want anything, let's get a divorce now, right now."
The judge quickly processed their divorce by mutual consent, turning one marriage certificate into two divorce certificates. After nearly ten years of marriage, they really got a bargain, at least they gained a piece of paper.
Holding her newly issued divorce certificate, Tang Xiaoling didn't even glance at Southwest, and ran straight to Zhou Bin's courtyard house. Finally divorced, finally able to marry Zhou Bin.
Yan Xinan, what's so good about living with you? All you do is work for others, and even the courtyard house you live in belongs to someone else. Unlike me, I'm about to become the owner of a courtyard house, and I have a million yuan in bank savings.
Zhou Bin had regained his senses. He looked at the divorce certificate several times to make sure it was a legitimate one before he felt relieved. Only the last step remained.
Seeing Tang Xiaoling's beaming face, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes: "Great! Lingling, you're finally mine. I want you. Will you give yourself to me?"
Tang Xiaoling hesitated for a moment, as they hadn't even gotten their marriage certificate yet. But seeing Zhou Bin's increasingly disappointed face, she felt a little worried. Maybe... since they were going to get married anyway, then... Finally, Tang Xiaoling nodded shyly.
Zhou Bin couldn't wait to strip Tang Xiaoling naked, throw her clothes far away, and then he...
Zhou Bin never knew he would fail at a crucial moment, but Tang Xiaoling really didn't interest him at all. She was a woman who had given birth to two children, and her figure was out of shape.
He closed his eyes and imagined the face of the woman named Meimei he had eaten with, fantasizing about her figure. Sure enough, things started to improve, and he finally got in. Zhou Bin breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the sound of camera shutters clicking filled the air, and the bright flashes woke Tang Xiaoling up completely.
Upon hearing the noise, Zhou Bin deliberately moved a few times to cooperate with them, then quickly withdrew, having completely completed his mission. He turned around and straightened his clothes, while Tang Xiaoling on the sofa was struck dumb.
She was anxious to find her clothes, but they had been left at the door. The people who took the photos turned around and left as quickly as if they had never been there.
Zhou Bin looked at Tang Xiaoling coldly and said, "You're really something, sending someone to take photos at your door. Are you trying to use this as evidence against me?"
Tang Xiaoling was dumbfounded. "I didn't do this!" she thought, watching Zhou Bin walk away without looking back.
Bei Nan stood outside the courtyard and handed Zhou Bin a leather bag. When he opened it, he saw four thick stacks of money neatly arranged inside.
"I've completed the task. It was just a brief touch, there's absolutely no harm done, don't worry."
Zhou Bin took the money and ran away. He wanted to get back to Hong Kong Island quickly, find a bathhouse, and wash himself clean.
Seeing Zhou Bin turn away coldly, Tang Xiaoling quickly put on her clothes and sat on the sofa waiting foolishly. She knew this was Zhou Bin's home, and he would always come back.
As the sun gradually set, its afterglow filled the entire courtyard. Tang Xiaoling sensed something was wrong. She searched the courtyard thoroughly, but all the rooms except the west wing were locked.
She ran out of the courtyard again, but was startled once more. Her mother and Tang Jianjun stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at her with weathered faces and undisguised disappointment and sorrow.
Tang's mother went up to her, took Tang Xiaoling's hand, and said, "Come back to our hometown with me. This place is not suitable for you."
Tang Xiaoling shook off her mother's hand and pointed to the courtyard behind her, saying, "Mom, I'm not going back. Look, this nice house will be mine in the future, and there's money too. By the way, your son-in-law's name is Zhou Bin."
Tang Jianjun really wanted to slap his stupid daughter. The Yan family was playing mind games with her. They used a handsome man to bewitch her and she was so infatuated that she ran off to Southwest to get a divorce.
Tang Jianjun regretted his decision back then. He always thought that girls didn't need to study, but now he realized that girls should study even more. Studying makes people understand principles and makes them clear-headed.
"Why do you think your father would be standing here waiting for you? How do you think the Southwest would know you were here? I know you're stupid, but you're incredibly stupid. You've been set up and you still haven't woken up?"
Tang Xiaoling stared blankly at Tang Jianjun. She could understand every single word her father said, but she couldn't understand them when they were put together. What did this have to do with the Southwest?
That night, Bei Nan was pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by Yan Xiaoqiang. Bei Nan gritted her teeth and endured it, refusing to admit her mistake. Tang Xiaoling was so difficult to deal with; if she didn't just suffocate, there would be more trouble.
Yan Xiaoqiang, holding a feather duster, pointed at Bei Nan and said, "Even if you don't care about Tang Xiaoling, you should at least care about Tang Jianjun. We're all from the same village. Aren't you making enemies by doing this?"
"But if Tang Xiaoling is truly devoted to Southwest, would she fall for this?" Bei Nan asked loudly.
Yan Xiaoqiang paused for a moment, turned to look at Southwest, unsure how to begin. After a long pause, he finally said:
"Southwest, you need to use your good looks to get a divorce? Do you think it's something to be proud of to have a cuckold on your head? As a man, you're so incompetent. You should think about it carefully."
Southwest was so ashamed he wanted to disappear. When North showed him Tang Xiaoling's true colors, he even had a glimmer of hope that Tang Xiaoling wasn't so despicable.
But reality slapped him in the face. Although Tang Xiaoling slept with that man after her divorce, would Tang Xiaoling have remained chaste before the divorce? The answer is obvious.
Yan Xiaonan sat next to her grandmother, watching the farce unfold. A book she'd read in her past life came to mind; the title seemed to be something like "36 Strategies for Rich People to Get Divorced."
There are so many tricks, such as deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea, feinting to the east and attacking in the west, creating something out of nothing, removing the fuel from under the cauldron, stealing the beams and replacing the pillars, the beauty trap, the self-inflicted injury trap, the chain of schemes, and so on.
Bei Nan can now be considered a rich man, and those schemes naturally came to mind. It's so good to be rich; you can do whatever you want. It just means spending more money.
"Third Brother, how much did you spend on this 'handsome man' scheme?" Yan Xiaonan suddenly asked.
