Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Divorce
Now Wang Haiyan is no longer the cowardly rural woman who had to rely on her husband for a living and had to give in to him.
She felt that when Ning Shaoxian was away, she helped Ning Shaoxian take care of his parents. Not to mention anything else, just for this one thing, she had made a contribution to this family!
In the past, all the family land was under Ning Shaoxian's name, and she had nothing.
Now she has some fields and vegetable plots under her own name. Although the area of those fields is not large, it is more than enough to support herself.
Not to mention that the renovation of the town's attractions is almost completed. She participated in the town's training and was very serious from the beginning. She won the title of outstanding trainee several times.
The scenic area development company and the town leaders said before the training that in the future, when good jobs are available, priority will be given to those who have won the title of outstanding students. As someone like her who has won the title several times, she is among the best among all the trainees and will definitely not have trouble finding work.
Besides, her children are now grown up, her son has married and bought a house in the county town. Even if Ning Shaoxian drives her out, she will still have a place to live. What is she afraid of?
But Ning Shaoxian's mind was still stuck on the time before he went to jail, when his parents were still healthy. Even if he did something like owing a large debt, they would find ways to help him solve it and cover him.
A wife should regard her husband as her god at home, live her life according to his mood, and serve him well. It is also his wife's responsibility to serve his parents.
Although they had quarreled sometimes in the past, Wang Haiyan rarely had the upper hand in front of him. Sometimes when she seemed to have the upper hand, it was actually because he deliberately made her think that she had won, and Wang Haiyan did not gain any benefits at all.
Wang Haiyan had grown powerful and dared to argue with him like that. Not only could he not win the argument, but he also couldn't gain any advantage at all. This made Ning Shaoxian very angry.
Ning Shaoxian didn't think that Wang Haiyan was helping him by taking care of his parents. He took it for granted that this was what she should do. Any daughter-in-law who didn't do this should be criticized and scolded.
Every time Ning Shaoxian saw Wang Haiyan bringing this up to seek credit, he felt that she really didn't know what she was talking about!
I really don't know how her parents taught her.
The two have been married for more than 20 years. Their son has married and they are almost old enough to be grandparents. However, when Ning Shaoxian encounters problems, he actually takes his anger out on other people's families.
"I have never seen a family that can raise a woman like you. Being virtuous and managing the household is a duty. Have you ever seen anyone do something for their family and then yell for people to be grateful and repay them? What a joke!
Do you really think what you have done is so great? It's just some housework, as if it's something special. Who can't do it? I have never seen a wife like you! ”
Wang Haiyan was so angry that she laughed: "Okay, okay, you Ning Shaoxian don't care about me, right? You can care about me or not, I won't serve you anymore!"
She simply decided unilaterally that even though they lived under the same roof, she would only cook her own meals and wash her own clothes, shoes, socks and dishes.
Wang Haiyan also slept in a separate room from Ning Shaoxian because there were not enough rooms in the house, and her son's room was now occupied by his son and daughter-in-law, so it was not convenient for her to move in.
Fortunately, there was her daughter's room. When Ning Danping went to school, her room was empty. Wang Haiyan called Ning Danping and told her about it. Then she moved her things to Ning Danping's room and lived there alone. From then on, she only cleaned her own room.
Ning Shaoxian didn't notice anything at first, he just found that she had moved her things out of their room.
But after being married for more than 20 years, this kind of thing has happened before when they quarreled.
In the past, they had quarrels and Wang Haiyan was so angry that she ran back to her parents' home. Ning Shaoxian didn't take the fact that she moved out of the room to heart at all.
Ning Shaoxian had just been released from prison not long ago, and he felt that the air outside was particularly fresh and free.
He missed food from outside very much and felt that he could always eat home-cooked meals whenever he wanted. So now whenever he had some money in his pocket, he would go to the market to buy food for three meals a day.
Because the town was going to be turned into a tourist attraction, the business hours of various shops were extended a lot, and some people started selling meals, so he could also eat dinner out.
When he had spent all the money in his pocket and wanted to go home for dinner, he was dumbfounded when he saw the empty kitchen without any ingredients, even the oil, salt and soy sauce were gone.
Wang Haiyan was holding her breath.
Seeing him like this, she felt very comfortable and taunted him, "Don't you mind my housework? Then let's do our own things from now on. Don't expect me to serve you like a slave!"
Ning Shaoxian never thought that he would have no food to eat when he returned home. When he looked at the messy room and the pile of his dirty clothes that had not been washed, and he couldn't even change them, he was immediately defeated.
He may dislike it, but how could Wang Haiyan dare not do it? !
Ning Shaoxian threatened: "If you dare to act like a demon again, we will divorce!"
Wang Haiyan was caught off guard and her heart skipped a beat when she heard something she had never expected him to say.
But she suppressed her discomfort and said with her neck stiff, "You think I'm afraid of you! Do you still think I was like when I was broke and divorced and had nowhere to go?
I tell you, my children are grown up now and I don’t need to worry about them anymore. I’m not afraid of you if you want a divorce! You didn't care about the children before, but I raised them all and they all depended on me. I'm not a person without support!
Don't try to use this matter to show off in front of me! ”
Ning Shaoxian looked unhappy when he heard this, because what Wang Haiyan said was basically true.
He knew very well that if he had not been in jail, he could still rely on the family's house and land in his hands, and bet that his son would most likely not side with Wang Haiyan for these reasons.
As for the daughter? Ning Shaoxian felt that since they were all going to get married in the future, it wouldn't matter much to whom she supported.
But now, not only has Wang Haiyan become more independent, but her son has also become more independent with the help of the third child.
His son bought a house and a store in the county town, and will transfer his household registration to the city in the future. He can live like a city dweller, so why would he care about an old yard in the countryside and working in the fields, working hard but making little money?
In the eyes of Ning Shaoxian's generation, having a city hukou is superior and good, so even though a scenic spot has been developed in the town and he will be able to make money at his doorstep, he subconsciously feels that having a rural hukou is inferior to having an urban hukou.
But even though Ning Shaoxian knew everything, he was still very unwilling to accept Wang Haiyan, who had always had a lower status than him at home.
He was extremely angry at Wang Haiyan for daring to disobey, threaten, and go against him, and for refusing to repent.
He was unwilling to face such a change: "Are you not afraid of divorce? Then get out of my house right now!"
Hearing this, Wang Haiyan's face looked very ugly and she felt very uncomfortable.
She felt very sad. She had been married for more than 20 years, and when they had an argument, her husband would still tell her to get out of his house.
This made Wang Haiyan doubt whether her efforts in this family over the past twenty years were worth it. Is this really her home?
But no matter whether it is true or not, she can't do what Ning Shaoxian said now and won't let him get his wish.
"I have given so much to this family, why do you want me to leave? If we really divorce, I still own half of this family! Don't even think about leaving me to take all the spoils!"
Wang Haiyan only saw this statement on TV, and she herself didn't know whether it was true in reality. She could only bring it up because Ning Shaoxian had been imprisoned for several years and might not understand this.
Ning Shaoxian wanted to argue with her again. Ning Da, who lived next door, pushed Huang Xiuhua back and heard them arguing. After settling Huang Xiuhua down, he hurried over to persuade them to stop fighting.
"Shaoxian, stop talking. You've only been back for a few days and you're already arguing with your wife? If you keep yelling, you can come live with me and help me take care of your mom! When your mom was sick, you weren't here and didn't pay for it, so you should do more!"
As soon as Ning Da mentioned this, Ning Shaoxian immediately became timid, because if his father really dragged him over to take care of his mother together, not to mention his brothers and sisters and relatives at home, everyone in the town would think that this was what he should do.
Ning Shaoxian was not afraid of offending his own family, but he was afraid that he would lose face in front of the town and outsiders, and that his friends in the town would no longer associate with him in the future.
He used to like to call his friends together, drink, eat, brag and chat with a group of people, and he was proud of the fact that he knew so many people.
But the fact that he had been in prison had a big impact on him, and many of his former friends no longer wanted to talk to him.
There were some people who were willing to talk to him, but their families were unhappy to see them together and were always on guard against him, fearing that he would lead them astray.
If word spreads that he is unfilial and refuses to pay or help his mother when she is sick, even fewer people will be willing to play with him in the future.
Ning Shaoxian immediately fell silent.
Ning Da comforted Wang Haiyan and told her not to be angry. He said that she took care of Ning Shaoxian's mother when he was away, and that he and others had seen it. He would definitely not allow Ning Shaoxian to be ungrateful.
What Wang Haiyan said just now was very powerful. In fact, she had never thought about divorce. She was worried that divorce would lead to gossip and make her, her children and her family unable to hold their heads up in front of others.
After Ning Da persuaded her, she went down the stairs.
But no one else knows what she is thinking.
When Zhao Ruyue heard about this, she sighed that Wang Haiyan was really different now.
People have become more confident and are not even afraid of divorce. They seem to be somewhat awakened.
After a while, Ning Shaoxian disappeared and no one knew where he went.
After he came back, he actually wanted to divorce Wang Haiyan. At first, Wang Haiyan thought he was threatening her with this again and quarreled with him for a long time.
After the quarrel, Ning Shaoxian really found the household registration book and marriage certificate, and dragged her to the county Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.
The two of them sat in front of the staff who were handling the divorce procedures. They were told, "You two have been married for so many years, your children should be quite grown up. If you divorce, it will most likely affect your children's future marriages. Are you sure you want to divorce?"
Ning Shaoxian said yes without hesitation.
Only then did Wang Haiyan realize that Ning Shaoxian was serious!
Wang Haiyan collapsed immediately. She was so frightened that she was at a loss for words. She just cried and shouted, "No, I won't divorce you. I won't divorce you even if I die! If you have the guts, you can kill me. I will die in the old Ning family and be buried in the old Ning family's ancestral tomb!"
She thought to herself: If we really get divorced, even if I can go back to my parents' home and live there until I die, I won't be able to be buried in my own family's cemetery after I die!
Wang Haiyan was so panicked that she didn't even remember to call her two children. Fortunately, a staff member at the Civil Affairs Bureau who was also from Rongxi Town knew that these were Ning Shaoming's eldest brother and sister-in-law, so he called Ning Shaoming and asked him to come over quickly.
Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming rushed over together, and after listening to Wang Haiyan's crying, they realized that Wang Haiyan had not awakened.
But her children had grown up and she had her own land, and in her eyes these two things were insurance for her marriage and became her reliance for consolidating her marriage.
In addition, she felt that she and Ning Shaoxian were already so old, and if they really divorced, Ning Shaoxian would not have the money to remarry. She believed that he would definitely not really divorce, and was just saying it to scare her.
All these things made Wang Haiyan feel that her marriage could not be more solid. She didn't need to swallow her anger anymore and there would be no problems in her marriage. This made her seem brave and awakened.
On the way, Ning Shichun rode the motorcycle he had just bought when he got married, and stopped by Ning Danping's school to pick her up.
His children tried their best to persuade him, but Ning Shaoxian remained unmoved and still wanted a divorce, urging the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau to process it for him.
Finally, the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau said: "We can't process your divorce today. Divorce requires the consent of both parties. If one party disagrees, you can only file for divorce and wait for the court to rule on the divorce before we can process your divorce."
Ning Shaoxian asked again and again, and always got the same answer. He even went to ask other couples who were waiting in line behind them at the Civil Affairs Bureau and were about to get divorced.
Some couples didn’t know this until they heard what he said.
He didn't give up until he asked a well-mannered and seemingly cultured couple and they told him that it was indeed the case.
Ning Shaoxian left the Civil Affairs Bureau in annoyance when he found out that the staff was not deceiving him in order to persuade them not to divorce.
Before leaving, he didn't even look at his crying wife and anxious children.
Ning Shichun and Ning Danping rushed over and took over the matter, and Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming went back.
Because she didn't know whether Ning Shichun could make it back to his home in the county from the town in the evening, Zhao Ruyue called Sun Jiajia and asked her to come to her place for dinner after she finished her work.
Sun Jiajia asked about her parents-in-law.
Zhao Ruyue felt that it would take a while to explain the matter of her parents-in-law clearly over the phone, so she said she would talk to them in person when she came over for dinner.
When Sun Jiajia heard that her in-laws were going to divorce, she stayed at the store to work but was absent-minded. She saw that the ingredients prepared for the day were almost used up.
He didn't restock the store, closed the store early, and rushed to Zhao Ruyue's house, asking anxiously, "Aunt San, how are my parents-in-law doing? Is the problem resolved?"
"When we came back, it hadn't been resolved yet. Your father-in-law still wanted a divorce, but your mother-in-law didn't want one. Before we came back, your father-in-law left on his own, and Xiaochun and Danping took your mother-in-law back to town. I don't know what the situation is now."
They originally thought that Ning Shichun would have to accompany his mother tonight to prevent her from doing anything stupid.
Unexpectedly, Ning Shichun called halfway through the meal, and asked in a tired voice: "Aunt San, is my wife at your house? I went back to the county town and saw that the store was closed and no one was at home."
"She's having dinner at my house. Your family didn't cook today, so why don't you stop by and have something to eat."
"Okay." Ning Shichun hung up the phone and rushed to his uncle and aunt's house.
Ning Shichun was so hungry that he ate half a bowl of rice and some meat and vegetables when he arrived.
When she wasn't so hungry anymore, she slowed down and said, "When we went back, we didn't see my dad, and some of his clothes were missing from the house. My mom kept urging me to go find him, so I asked Danping to stay at home with her and went out to look for him. But I couldn't find my dad after searching all over town. Someone said they saw him carrying a suitcase and getting on a bus to the county town, so my mom urged me to go to the county town to look for him again."
Ning Shichun couldn't help but smile bitterly as he spoke: "If I look for someone in the town, I know where to look. After all, they are all acquaintances and I know where they live. But this county town is not big, but it is not small either. It is not easy to find someone aimlessly.
My father didn't come to the county town often before, but he had a few friends in the county town, but most of the time it was his friends who went to the town to find him. I don't know where those people's homes are, and my father doesn't have a mobile phone, so where can I find him? ”
Ning Shaoming said: "Don't worry if you can't find him. He's already grown up. If I really don't want you to find him, it's useless even if you walk all over the county."
Ning Shichun also knew this, but his mother was scared by the fact that his father was really going to divorce. His mother would be worried as long as his father didn't come home.
Zhao Ruyue said, "If your mother doesn't want a divorce, it would be better for her if your father doesn't come back now. Once he comes back, he will probably have thought of a way to get a divorce again."
After listening to Zhao Ruyue's words, Ning Shichun thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. He was also confused by the situation. When he was in the town, he didn't think of using this to persuade his mother.
"I'll call Danping right now and ask her to tell my mom this. At least try to persuade her to stop crying. Her eyes are so swollen that you can't even see the eyeballs."
Ning Shaoxian was so determined to divorce, and coupled with his action of packing up and leaving home, everyone couldn't help but have a guess in their minds.
In the evening, Ning Shichun and Sun Jiajia went home and the children went to bed.
After Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming returned to their room, she told him about this: "Could your elder brother have someone else outside?"
Ning Shaoming thought the same thing: "We earn a lot of money every month now, and we don't really appreciate the benefits of working in the town's tourist attractions, but in the eyes of many people around here, it should be considered a hot commodity."
Ning Shaoxian had just been released from prison not long ago, but he was also a local in the town. ,
After he comes out, the town will provide training for him and some people who are still working outside and could not participate in the first batch of training in time. He can also work in the town’s tourist attractions later.
In addition, when the family was divided, the house he got was under his name, and the annual dividends would be given directly to him, as well as the land he got.
All these combined may really attract women who are poorer than them, women who come from the mountains and have no family to rely on and whose original conditions are worse.
Ning Shaoming continued, "If he really does something like that, don't blame me for being like him and the second brother. We can't even be relatives anymore!"
They guessed Ning Shaoxian's situation almost exactly.
Even on Saturday, when Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming were both free, they took their children to the city's Children's Palace to attend interest classes.
They had nothing to do while waiting for their children to finish school, and they didn't want to go back to the county town to pick up their children, so they just wandered around the city.
I happened to meet Ning Shaoxian and a strange woman shopping in the city.
The woman looked younger than Ning Shaoxian, but her hair was yellow due to malnutrition.
The two of them were holding hands, looking like a couple with a good relationship and were particularly close.
When Ning Shaoxian saw Ning Shaoming and Zhao Ruyue, he was just surprised and looked panicked for a moment, but he quickly recovered and brought the woman over to greet them.
Ning Shaoming didn't give them a good look. He pulled Zhao Ruyue away with a dark face and said nothing.
"Third brother, what do you mean by this? Don't you want to give me, your big brother, face?" But Ning Shaoxian still held him back and refused to let him go, insisting that they call that woman sister-in-law.
"What else can I mean? Of course I can't stand the fact that you're fooling around outside before you get divorced!" Ning Shaoming fiercely shook off Ning Shaoxian's hand, pointed at his nose and cursed, "Don't say you're my big brother. I don't have a big brother like you who is shameless and has affairs with other women! People like you would have been shot to death a dozen years ago!"
The woman next to Ning Shaoxian looked timid. She was frightened by the scene and her face turned pale. She dared not move.
Hearing Ning Shaoming's words, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and hurriedly explained incoherently: "I, I, I, I am not, please call the police, I'm not that kind of person, I really didn't know, I really didn't expect this to happen, don't arrest me and put me in jail, he said he was divorced, so I agreed..."
Ning Shaoming didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, if he intervened in this matter, it would be easy to get into trouble with everyone.
But Ning Shaoxian's behavior really made him angry this time.
Ning Shaoming went back and told Ning Shichun about this and asked Ning Shichun to find out the information about the woman.
In fact, his network of contacts is wider than Ning Shichun's, and he has more ways to get information than Ning Shichun, so his efficiency is definitely higher than his. However, he and Zhao Ruyue ran into them head-on and things became very unpleasant.
If he went to investigate on his own, he would be afraid of alerting the enemy, so he had to let Ning Shichun go. After all, this was his parents' business, and Ning Shichun didn't want his parents to divorce, so he had to pay more attention to this matter.
Since we can’t find a way to separate them from Ning Shaoxian, we have to look for it from that woman.
The woman that Ning Shaoxian brought that day was not very courageous, and it seemed that she was fooled by him into following him.
However, they had only met her once, so it was hard for them to judge whether her performance that day was real or acting, so Ning Shaoming decided not to tell Ning Shichun about this for the time being.
Ning Shaoming was worried that Ning Shichun would have a preconceived idea that she must have been cheated, and that at that time his kind nature as an honest man would kick in. What if it turned out that the other person was acting, and he would be cheated out of sympathy for them.
When Ning Shichun got the news, he rushed to check. After making various inquiries, he found out the woman's current residence. He went to see it in person quietly and found out that she had only moved there for less than a month and the people nearby were not familiar with her.
I also asked about her hometown and went there in person to confirm whether it was true.
After confirming that it was indeed her hometown, I also learned that her personality was indeed rather timid and cowardly, and it was not an act.
Even her family's status in her hometown was not high. They were always looked down upon by people from the same village and were bullied and taken advantage of openly or secretly. The whole family looked timid and like they were being bullied.
Ning Shichun knew what to do without Ning Shaoming's instructions.
