"Go ahead, I'll think about it."

Now, her mind was in a mess and she wanted to think carefully about how to completely draw a line between herself and this old man.

Otherwise, no matter how much money she worked hard to earn, after he calculated it, he would think that the money should be given to him.

Looking at Chen Xiaoying's overly calm expression, she had no intention of making trouble with him at all.

Li Pingwang felt uneasy because this was different from what Hongyan said.

Are you scared?

But he didn't want to push her too hard: "Okay, then I'll let you think about it for two more days. Hurry up and settle the account and give it to me. I'm still waiting to pay it back."

The loan shark went back without getting a penny, and I don’t know how I’m going to deal with him next time he comes.

Li Pingwang just left like that. Chen Xiaoying's straight back finally slumped down in disbelief, and she looked very listless.

The third daughter-in-law, Zhao Xueyan, went up to persuade her: "Mom, my dad lied to you just for money. He is very concerned about his reputation. How could he really want to divorce you?"

It was someone else's family affair, so Hao Cailing didn't know what to say.

Chen Xiaoying waved her hand: "I see, I'm not busy right now anyway, I'll go out for a while and come back later."

The meals sold at noon are all semi-finished products, which Zhao Xueyan can also make. If she returns by twelve o'clock, she will be in time.

Chen Xiaoying first went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to ask how to divide property and how to divorce in her situation.

The middle-aged woman who was doing the work, wearing a Zhongshan suit, looked serious, but she looked at Chen Xiaoying with a dagger in her eyes. She sized her up and said in a sarcastic tone, "It's really rare. How old are you? Do you still want a divorce?"

"You don't look like a rich person. Why would an old man and an old woman need to share their property?"

"Do your children know about this?"

Chen Xiaoying felt very uncomfortable being despised by a stranger. The words "Serve the People" were still posted on the wall, but the attitude was like treating a deadbeat who owed her money and refused to pay it back.

"Just tell me how the property is divided."

The woman took the documents handed to her by the person behind her without even glancing at them. She said, "You can't get anything from me. Turn right and ask there. There are lawyers over there."

When Chen Xiaoying heard this, she immediately got angry: "You don't know why you ask me so much."

The family scandal was almost told to others.

"Hey, why are you throwing a tantrum, old woman? No wonder your husband doesn't want you at your age. Judging from your appearance, you must have been no good person when you were young." The woman who was doing the work immediately started yelling.

Chen Xiaoying knew that this kind of people were usually formal employees with connections in the company. They were very arrogant and would not respond to any requests when doing business. In order to get things done, others had to smile and say nice things to them.

When you are used to being praised by others, you will immediately feel unhappy when someone says something unpleasant to you.

"Your mouth is so dirty, wash it." Chen Xiaoying angrily grabbed a glass of water on the table and poured it on her yelling mouth.

"Ah - you old bitch." The woman screamed and wanted to argue with her angrily.

Chen Xiaoying covered her chest and said, "I'm old and have high blood pressure. I'm getting sick from being angry. I'm just lying here with you and won't leave."

Several people sitting at the desks nearby rushed forward to persuade and pull the boy back.

"You people who work in offices and get paid by the country are here to serve the people, not to be bosses. You think you are so capable and powerful and look down on ordinary people. Do you think you are the president of the United States?" Chen Xiaoying pointed at the woman and cursed her before turning and leaving.

The woman was so angry that she started to cry. She had been working here for decades and had scolded at least 50 or 100 people. Who dared to yell at her?

But with Chen Xiaoying taking the lead this time, she will be much more careful next time she wants to mock others.

No matter what was happening behind her, Chen Xiaoying went out and went to find the law firm.

I paid the expensive consulting fee with a broken heart and told them about this matter.

The lawyer summed it up: "I suggest you settle the case privately, because given your husband's situation, even if the court awards a certain amount of money, he will probably still cause trouble for you and will not do what the court says. If you want to enforce the case, you need to go through procedures, which will take even more time."

All in all, the law can make a clear judgment on this matter for her, but Li Pingwang still wants to continue to pester her and rely on her, saying that what the court said is unfair, and the court has no way to restrain his personal behavior.

You have to know that even if it is domestic violence and the woman is beaten all over, most of the time it is resolved as a family dispute. If it can be mediated, then mediate. If it really can't be mediated, send him to jail for a few years, and he will still pester you when he comes out.

Chen Xiaoying was completely disheartened by what she heard.

When they were young, Li Pingwang's father was capable, and Li Pingwang himself was a tall young man with a decent appearance. He was honest and down-to-earth.

Who knows, he could also be a woman beater.

The first time she was beaten was when she went back to her parents' home to visit her mother and wanted to bring some things. She had no money, so she asked him for it. He said he had no money and told her to find a way herself.

How could she find a solution? After she married him, she also went to work in the fields to earn work points, so she should have a share of the things in the house.

He meant that everything in the house belonged to her and he wouldn't let her take anything.

She was not convinced, so she took out ten eggs from the jar and wanted to take them away.

He didn't say that he disliked her taking too much, but he just gave her a cold shoulder: if she took this much, her whole family would be left starving.

After a while, they had an argument and he beat her.

Thinking of the past, Chen Xiaoying was filled with sadness. She was willing to divorce, she wanted to divorce, but how could she get rid of him, this heartless beast.

Chen Xiaoying walked around and found nothing. She could only wipe her face and go back into the cold wind.

The store has become busy.

Chen Xiaoying put the matter aside for the time being. She needed to think carefully about how to deal with the situation.

Hao Cailing was not paying attention and was just chatting about family matters. She told her son He Mingliang about it in the evening.

"Tell me, why is Xiaoyu's grandfather like this? I heard from your aunt Xueyan that he has never helped Xiaoyu since she started selling sesame cakes. Now that Xiaoyu's grandmother has made money, he threatens her with divorce to give her a share of the property. Once the property is divided, I heard with my own ears that he will immediately pay off the debt to his eldest daughter Li Hongyan."

"Ouch." Even if this matter hadn't happened to her, Hao Cailing couldn't stand it: "Why is this old man so confused?"

I borrowed high-interest loans for my daughter and the debtor came to my house to collect the debt. My store was almost smashed up. This happened just yesterday.

Today, her cognition was refreshed again.

The old lady has a miserable life. Why did she marry such a man when she was young?

He Mingliang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He thought his grandmother was already a piece of clumsy meat that could not be shaken off, but he didn't expect that Li Yutong's grandfather was no less so.

Fortunately, he saw him crying pitifully yesterday. He was so old and trembling with fear.
