Chen Hong, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you usually seem quite decisive in handling things. However, when it comes to the divorce, you've been far too lenient with Hai.
"When we divorced, he should have had to pay a hefty price. It's unbelievable that someone could afford a house and get married so soon after the divorce; nobody would believe he didn't have a secret stash of money."
Chen Hong couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing what Aunt Erhu said: "Auntie, do you really think I'm blind and don't know that Yu Hai has a secret stash of money?"
I know exactly how much money he has. It's not that I'm soft-hearted towards him; I just had no other choice. It's all because of the children.
If it weren't for Yu Yang, to put it bluntly, it would be wishful thinking for Yu Hai to have an affair and still want to live a good life.
However, with Yu Yang around, I can't go too far and put him in a desperate situation. I have to leave him a way out no matter what.
The better he does, the easier things will be for Yu Yang in the future. I don't care how much child support he pays for Yu Yang; as long as he can ensure his own well-being, he won't ask Yu Yang for money.
When he got old, he didn't need Yu Yang to provide money and people to take care of him, so he became a burden to Yu Yang. They just maintained a nominal father-son relationship.
Besides, the one who will be most hurt by my divorce from Yu Hai is not Yu Hai or me, but our son Yu Yang.
Yu Hai had already cheated on his wife during their marriage, and remarried right after the divorce. It wouldn't be difficult for me to find someone else to start a family with.
If I were to punish Yu Hai severely, making him bankrupt, disgraced, and unable to continue working in Jinan...
The one who suffers the most is the child! I can't leave Yujia Village because of Yu Yang. No matter how selfish Yu Hai is, he is still Yu Yang's biological father.
Outsiders who don't know the situation will sympathize with the weak, let alone their own son! I'm just worried that Yu Yang will grow up and become estranged from me.
The more money I earn and the better I live in the future, the more pitiful Yu Yang will feel for his father. He will also think that I have been too harsh and excessive towards his father.
I don't care about men. In this world, who can't live without whom? As long as I work hard, how can I not earn a decent living?
I just can't bear to part with my son. I already feel so sorry for him that he was born into this divorced family.
I was blind to choose Yu Hai, that scumbag. I'll take the blame.
But I can't just think about my own momentary pleasure and ignore Yu Yang's feelings; he's still too young.
He can't figure out right from wrong regarding my relationship with his father, and all the gossip and rumors he hears are hurting him.
It's not like I'm incapable of making money. I really don't care about Yu Hai's little bit of savings.
Let him keep it! At least if he doesn't have a good life in the future, he won't have the nerve to shamelessly go to his son, lie to him, and ask for money without restraint, demanding that his son support him.
I've already decided that he'll pay the minimum child support now, and when he gets old, I'll make sure Yu Yang pays him the minimum support in his old age too.
You can't say you won't support him at all, that you'll get what you deserve. How you treat your child is how your child will treat you.
Even if he sues in court, Yu Yang isn't afraid. It's not like he's abandoning him; as long as he doesn't starve, that's fine!
Thinking he can rely on my son to support him in his old age? That's impossible. Doesn't he have a happy family now, and a son too?
When he gets old, he will only need to pay half of the basic living expenses for his second son, since he has spent all the money he earns on his second son.
If he makes excessive demands, I will let Yu Yang and his second son divide the family property.
That family is shameless. My daughter and I aren't pushovers either; anyone can lie to anyone.
He should just focus on living his own life and praying to Buddha. It's best if everyone goes their own way and no one gets involved.
The village chief and Wang Erhu exchanged a glance and nodded secretly. What should they say about Chen Hong?
She had already considered what would happen in twenty or thirty years, so there was no need for anyone else to worry about her.
They used to think that she had suffered a great loss by divorcing Yu Hai, but after hearing what she said and seeing the life she is living now...
It's really hard to say who will suffer a loss!
Yu Hai had been working in Jinan for many years and thought he had made something of himself. He looked down on the people from his hometown and even on his wife.
Having an affair and getting a divorce makes him seem so fashionable and charismatic. Look at Chen Hong, she earns more in one trip at sea than he does in over ten years without eating or drinking.
Without him, the butcher, Chen Hong really wouldn't eat a pig with hair on.
Don't think the villagers are stupid. The last guy who came, Zhou Yi, was tall and handsome, and he was a military officer with a strong sense of righteousness. You could tell at a glance that he came to see Chen Hong.
During this period, three elderly people from the Zhou family stayed at the hotel. The old lady looked quite similar to Zhou Yi.
They both have the surname Zhou, and they're both from Beijing, so they must be related to the I Ching. They might even be here to propose marriage to Chen Hong.
The old lady was secretly inquiring about the engagement process in the village. Wasn't that obvious?
Who knows, one day, if Chen Hong just nods, the mother and daughter will go to Beijing with her.
Even if they didn't go to Beijing and stayed in the village, Chen Hong and her mother lived a prosperous life.
Their standard of living is barely above average, even if they dine out every day. Yu Zhaohua and his son are truly unlucky!
