Chapter 282 Zhang Haijun, Let's Get a Divorce
"...Catch the thief! Quickly call the security department and arrest this thief!"
Zheng Xiulan pointed at the workers watching the commotion, trying to get them to call someone to arrest Su Hongying.
But no one paid any attention to her, and they all looked at her strangely.
Distracted by Zheng Xiulan's shout, Zhang Haijun turned to look at her, only to have his hand slapped away by Zhang Lao Er. He retreated to Zheng Xiulan's side and yelled at her, "Brother, I really didn't take your money. How can I work here like this... cough cough, how can I work like this in the future?"
"How could you not have taken it? You took it!"
Zhang Haijun, panting heavily, glared fiercely at Zhang Lao Er. That was his salary saved up over several years; did Lao Er think he could just pocket it like that? He wouldn't stand a chance!
He would come demanding the money every day if I didn't pay it back, and he would absolutely not budge even if my own mother tried to stop him.
“Navy, Su Hongying just said she did it on purpose. She deliberately retaliated against us for pushing her down, almost causing her and her unborn child to die. She did it on purpose. She took the money. She just wants you two brothers to kill each other. Don't fall for her tricks…”
Zheng Xiulan saw Zhang Haijun's fierce gaze and was startled. She quickly stood in front of Zhang Lao Er and pointed at Su Hongying.
Zhang Haijun visits Su Hongying.
Su Hongying said with a blank face, "Zhang Haijun, let's get a divorce."
"What did you say?"
Zhang Haijun's mind went blank for a moment, and he frowned with some impatience, "Su Hongying, you..."
"Your mother has been insisting that I did it to clear your second brother's name of the theft. You heard what she said just now, and I almost forgot. I was eight months pregnant at the time, and you told me to pick up the vegetables that had fallen on the ground and eat them, but I didn't. Your mother then pushed me over, and my head hit the coffee table, leaving a scar on my head. My stomach hit the ground, and I bled profusely. My baby was not only premature but also had a difficult labor and severe bleeding..."
A chorus of gasps erupted around them.
Some people looked at Su Hongying in shock and muttered under their breath, "My God, isn't that a matter of life and death?"
"...How could there be such a wicked mother-in-law? Her daughter-in-law is pregnant with her family's child!"
"This husband is no better, didn't you hear? Making a pregnant woman with a big belly pick up and eat the vegetables that fell on the ground! What era are we living in that he still treats his wife like this?"
"No wonder Zhang the Second dared to accuse his sister-in-law of stealing it; it turns out the whole family knows this young wife is easy to bully..."
Zhang Haijun's expression changed slightly, and he glared at Su Hongying, "Shut up, don't say another word."
"You little whore, you want to ruin my whole family!"
Zheng Xiulan also noticed that her family was surrounded by a group of workers rushing to work, watching the commotion. She was yelling at Su Hongying and shooing them away, saying, "What are you looking at? Aren't you going to work? Didn't you hear the bell? If you're late for work, you'll lose half your wages! Get out of here..."
She shooed people away like flies, and many stepped back, but not many people left.
Zhang Haijun walked over and grabbed Su Hongying's arm, warning her in a low voice, "What do you think you're doing? This is Lao Er's workplace. If you make such a fuss, it will get back to my workplace and my parents' workplace. How are we supposed to go to work then?"
"And what about me?"
Su Hongying looked up at Zhang Haijun, her eyes red, "Brother Haijun, I also want to forget these things, but your mother keeps reminding me. She criticizes everything I do, saying that I'm doing this to get revenge on your family. What have I done to get revenge on?!"
Zhang Haijun frowned deeply, suppressing the displeasure and impatience rising in his heart, and turned to glare at Zheng Xiulan.
She advised Su Hongying, "My mother didn't mean it. She's old and her mind isn't working properly, so please don't take it to heart. I know you've suffered because of me..."
Su Hongying looked at him and gave a mocking smile.
He knew she had been wronged, but he still let it go.
To put it bluntly, she deserved it.
Su Hongying said, "I don't care anymore."
She had reached her limit by now. She had wanted to come clean and stop pretending last night, but she forced herself to stay up all night for today.
Do they know how much she's been suffering inside these past few days, pretending to be friendly with them?
They don't know yet, but they will find out later.
"Su Hongying, what are you trying to do?" Zhang Haijun's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Su Hongying's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't, he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
He reached out to cover her mouth, but Su Hongying took a step back and avoided him.
She stared at him and said, "Zhang Haijun, what did I retaliate against you for? I was lying in the operating room waiting for you and your mother to sign the surgical risk consent form, did you sign it? You didn't! It was my mother, my eldest brother, and my third brother who left their New Year's Eve dinner, left my sister-in-law and two babies, and rushed to the hospital to sign it for me! My third brother paid the 5,000 yuan surgery fee to save my life. I gave birth to a son for your Zhang family in the operating room, and I almost died on the operating table, and your Zhang family didn't even take a penny of the money for my and your son's life-saving treatment! Zhang Haijun, how dare your mother say I retaliated against you?!"
A commotion arose around them, and more and more people gathered to listen, forming a dense, chattering crowd with all sorts of opinions.
Zhang Haijun's face burned with embarrassment as he stared intently at Su Hongying. "Su Hongying, you can't say anymore! Think of the child in your arms, you..."
Why can't I say it?
Su Hongying looked at him, her eyes filled with coldness, "Brother Navy, do you know what it feels like to lie on the operating table waiting to die? I know, I thought I would die on the operating table, but I didn't..."
Zhang Haijun's expression was beyond just looking ugly.
The surrounding onlookers were filled with shock, horror, and disbelief. The way they looked at the family of three made Zhang Haijun want to disappear on the spot.
He gritted his teeth and said to Su Hongying, "Didn't you hear me tell you to stop talking?"
"I heard you, and then what?"
Su Hongying said, "I survived and gave birth to your son. I passed away thinking about the past. For the sake of the child, I'm willing to live a good life with you, but your mother isn't! She wants me to divorce you because she doesn't want to see you, our son, and me living a good life as a family of three! Haijun, I can't take it anymore..."
Su Hongying choked up, her eyes filled with tears, looking at Zhang Haijun with despair.
“I can’t stand her reminding me again and again that it was you and your son who couldn’t agree on anything, and that she pushed me down, causing my head to hit the coffee table and my stomach to hit the floor, resulting in a difficult, premature, and hemorrhaging birth! It was you and your son who almost caused me and my unborn child to die! It was also you who made me lie on the operating table waiting to die, yet you refused to let me sign the surgical risk consent form, only wanting the doctor to save the baby and not the mother! Zhang Haijun, I’m a human being! I can choose not to think about those things, but why does your mother keep reopening my wounds and showing them to me, leaving me bleeding?!”
Zhang Haijun clenched his fists, wanting to say something but finding himself unable to speak. He resented his mother for pushing Su Hongying back then, and wondered why Su Hongying couldn't say these complaints at home.
Why did you have to say it to the second brother's colleagues at this time and in this place?
If this gets back to his workplace, or his mother's workplace, they'll be the subject of endless gossip and slander.
"...As long as I'm with you, Zheng Xiulan will never let me go. She will try every means to break us up. Forget it, I'm tired and I won't struggle anymore. Let's get a divorce."
