Su Xueli had been there. The courtyard was very large, and the houses were brick and tile houses. Including the kitchen and outbuildings, there were five or six rooms. 50 yuan a year was a great deal.
She said happily, "This price is really a friend's price, I'm almost embarrassed, thank you so much, Teacher He."
He Yujie said, "You're welcome. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."
Su Xueli nodded: "Okay."
He Yujie took out a key from his pocket and said, "Yunfeng gave this to me. Here you go, you can move in anytime."
Su Xueli took the keys, took out 50 yuan from her bag and handed it to him, saying, "Teacher He, please transfer this money to your colleague."
He Yujie said, "Okay, we'll give it to him when we have our next meeting."
He then asked, "By the way, when are you moving in? I can help you tidy up."
Su Xueli thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it in the next couple of days. I'll try to move in as soon as possible."
He Yujie glanced at her younger sister eating beside her, lowered her voice, and asked, "How did things go for you?"
Su Xueli sighed and said, "Things aren't going well. I'll move over first."
He Yujie frowned, but ultimately didn't dare to ask any further questions.
Su Xueli stood up and said, "Teacher He, thank you. I'll go back now and Yulan will tell you when I move back."
He Yujie looked at her and said softly, "Remember to call me if you need anything, I'll do my best to help."
Su Xueli nodded, said goodbye to He Yulan, and left.
Holding the keys to the rented apartment, Su Xueli made up her mind: she would move in tomorrow. If he didn't agree to a divorce, then so be it; she would no longer live with him.
As for his parents, she no longer needed to hide it from them; she felt she had treated them well these past few months.
When Su Xueli returned home, her parents-in-law had gone to the fields to check on the wheat, and Wei Mingyue had also gone off to play somewhere. Only Wei Mingshen was busy working in the house.
Su Xueli thought to herself: He is indeed a person who does not slack off.
"You're back?" He looked down and busied himself greeting her.
Su Xueli said, "You're back. Stop now, I have something to tell you."
Wei Mingshen, still applying ink to the face of the Yellow Robe Monster, said without pausing, "Just tell me."
Su Xueli said, "Let's stop now. I'm afraid you'll ruin the straw weaving if you get too excited."
Wei Mingshen's hand froze, then he turned to look at her: "Go ahead and say it."
Su Xueli took out the key and waved it in front of him, saying, "I'm moving out. This is the key to the apartment I'm renting."
Wei Mingshen didn't speak, just stared straight at her.
Su Xueli said, "I've said everything I need to say, so don't make me waste my breath."
She looked at her dowry in the room and said, "I'll have someone move these pieces of furniture over tomorrow; you don't need them anyway."
In those days, dowries were few and far between, and hers was considered exceptional: a three-piece wardrobe, a bedside table, and a sewing machine.
Wei Mingshen stared at the yellow-robed monster that he had half-dyed without saying a word; his silence was as unfathomable as the seabed.
Su Xueli tensed up, gripping her trouser leg tightly. This man had a terrible temper; if he exploded, he could crush her like an ant.
She started to say nice things, "Wei Mingshen, we have no grudges against each other, so let's part amicably, right? I haven't done anything to wrong you, I just don't want to be with you anymore, so you don't need to make things difficult for yourself by leaving Lin Meizhi..."
His face turned ashen.
Fear crept into Su Xueli's heart little by little. Should she run away...?
