Su Xueli sneered, "Let's talk about our business."
Wei Mingshen lowered his peach blossom eyes, shook his head, and then looked up at her again: "So, how do you suggest we discuss our relationship?"
Su Xueli said, "Since you don't want to marry me and I don't want to marry you, this is not the old society. Marriage is free now. We don't need to force ourselves. Neither of us will be happy."
“Yes, that’s how it is.” Wei Mingshen frowned and said.
I never expected her to have such insights.
Su Xueli bit her lip and said, "Then let's get a divorce."
Wei Mingshen smiled, a smile that was even more captivating. Su Xueli suppressed the turmoil in her heart. Yes, this man had taken her life, yet she still had feelings for him.
How despicable! She cursed herself.
But Wei Mingshen's smile quickly froze. "Divorce isn't just a matter between the two of us; it's a matter between our two families. My family spent all our savings to marry you. If I divorce you, my father will beat me to death, and my mother will hang herself."
Although he resisted marriage, he was also a filial son.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have obeyed his parents and married her.
Su Xueli knew perfectly well that in this era, divorce was a grave offense, a heinous crime, and a disgrace to the family.
Especially in rural areas, divorced girls who return to their parents' home suffer even more; they become a disgrace to their parents' home, and the entire family is shamed by them.
Su Xueli was even more ashamed to go back to her parents' home, because her parents did not agree to her marrying Wei Mingshen. Firstly, Wei Mingshen was a notorious "hooligan" and all the hooligans were afraid of him. How could they not be afraid of him?
Her parents are honest people and want their daughter to find an honest man and settle down.
Secondly, her parents felt that Zhou Mingtao was too handsome and not the kind of person to settle down with. They also knew that Wei Mingshen didn't like their daughter and were afraid that their daughter would suffer for the rest of her life if she married him.
However, Su Xueli was blinded by love and threatened to kill herself to force Zhou Mingtao to marry her.
Her parents couldn't persuade her otherwise, so they asked a matchmaker to find Zhou Mingtao's parents, and then both sets of parents hit it off and facilitated the marriage.
If the person you insisted on marrying suddenly wants a divorce the very next day, will your parents agree? What will your relatives and neighbors speculate about the reasons for their divorce...?
Su Xueli asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Wei Mingshen sat cross-legged on the bed and began to ponder.
Suddenly, he looked up at her and said, "I have an idea, but it has to be done on the day of my return visit three days later."
Su Xueli said, "Okay, what's your idea?"
Wei Mingshen glanced out the window, waved to her, and she understood and walked towards him...
When Wei Mingshen's parents in the next room saw that the light in their son's room was off, they breathed a sigh of relief. The mother said, "At least this naughty child has stopped making trouble. Xue Li is such a good-looking and kind girl, you couldn't find one even with a lantern. She's much better than the daughter of that village secretary on East Street in town. I think things will get better once they get married."
The father sighed and said, "Who knows? We'll just have to wait and see. Now that he's married to someone else's daughter, we'll have to keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't go to town to see that village secretary's daughter again."
"That's right, he can't be allowed to act recklessly."
Wei Mingsen and Su Xueli had discussed their divorce and felt relieved.
Wei Mingshen glanced at her. Her two braids came loose, and she had pulled off her cotton-padded jacket. Thinking about how she had almost been... she couldn't help but blush. She whispered, "I'm sorry, it's so late. Go to sleep."
After saying that, he took a quilt and placed it on the outside of the bed, leaving the other quilt for Su Xueli.
Having slept together in her past life, Su Xueli wasn't embarrassed. She lay down, pulled the covers up, took off her cotton-padded trousers, and wrapped herself tightly in the blankets wearing only a pair of long johns.
