After talking to Lu Yuanshan, Yang's father patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are all men. How long do you think this kind of marriage can last? In the end, the two of you will just get tired of each other."
Lu Yuanshan understood what his father-in-law meant, but even without mentioning his relationship with his wife, they still had two children.
So Lu Yuanshan gritted his teeth and refused to agree to this matter.
Father Yang was also completely annoyed when he saw that he was not willing to listen to his advice: "Lu Yuanshan, don't refuse my toast and drink the wine for punishment!"
Lu Yuanshan lowered his head and said nothing. Finally, Yang's father put his hands behind his back and left angrily.
However, within two days, the factory issued a document stating that Lu Yuanshan was dismissed due to health reasons and was unable to perform the work at the steel plant.
When Yang Tao learned about this, he went to his father in disbelief to question him.
Lu Yuanshan felt a glimmer of hope: maybe his wife didn't know yet that his father-in-law wanted them to divorce.
If she knew, she would definitely not agree, right?
However, reality once again dealt him a heavy blow.
Three days later, Yang Tao took the initiative to talk about this matter with Lu Yuanshan.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and her face was full of reluctance and grievance, but the words she said were so cold and ruthless: "Yuanshan, your job at the steel plant has been replaced. My father can't do anything about it."
"Okay! I understand!" Lu Yuanshan said with forbearance in his tone.
"Yuanshan, we have been married for so many years, I know you have been wronged, so I am going to listen to my father and set you free."
Lu Yuanshan's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had not expected his wife to say this.
Yang Tao turned away unnaturally because of his gaze: "It's just that there is no passion between us anymore. You know I am a person who yearns for passionate love."
"After we divorce, Dabao will stay with me and Xiaobao will stay with you. I have an unshirkable responsibility for your injury. We will each take half of the family savings."
When Lu Yuanshan heard that she had planned everything, he felt as if his heart was being pinched by a pair of invisible hands. The "dong dong dong" sound broke the last string in his brain.
He wiped his face and whispered, "I want 80% of the savings. You spend almost all your money every month. After deducting daily expenses from my salary, the rest should be saved."
The remaining 20% is reserved for Dabao's schooling."
Yang Tao's eyes widened: "Do you have to be so extreme?"
"Absolutely? How can it compare to your family? You want passion, but I can't give it to you.
Since you left Xiaobao to me, what should I do if I don't plan for her?"
Lu Yuanshan's voice was sharp, like a thorn that pierced Yang Tao's body.
She stammered for a long time before uttering, "Then Dabao is also your child!"
"Your parents are not so kind as to want a baby. It's just that you are the only child in your family and the baby is a boy, so they just want to have an heir.
Since someone is taking care of him, I don't have to worry about it.
You don't have to worry about Xiaobao anymore. I wish Ms. Yang a bright future!"
Yang Tao is not a fool, she naturally knows what her parents are planning, but she still looks a little embarrassed when Lu Yuanshan points it out so bluntly.
It had been a long time since she saw Lu Yuanshan in this prickly state.
It seemed that since they got married, Lu Yuanshan had always agreed with her in everything, and she had always had the final say in this family. It felt sweet at the beginning.
The longer time goes by, the more bland and boring it becomes.
"Okay, I promise you." Yang Tao said in a low voice, stood up and prepared to get the passbook.
Neither of them noticed that the door to the inner room was opened a crack.
“Your salary was thirty-five for the first two years, and then it increased to forty-eight.
It's been eight years in total. After deducting the ten dollars I give you every month for entertainment and the daily expenses of the family, I have about two thousand dollars left."
Yang Tao opened the passbook in his hand and found that there was still 2,100 yuan left.
Lu Yuanshan went to the bank to withdraw 420 yuan and handed it to Yang Tao: "I will take Xiaobao back to my hometown in the next two days."
Yang Tao looked at Lu Yuanshan with a cold face, and seemed to be back to nine years ago, the night when he helped her chase away the gangsters with a cold face.
She hurriedly took the money from Lu Yuanshan's hand and didn't dare to look up at him again.
When the two returned home, Lu Yuanshan looked at the things the family had bought and said firmly, "I bought all of these. I want to take them all away. The house was allocated to me through your father's connections.
Now that I no longer work at the steel mill, I don’t want a cent, but I have to take what’s mine.”
"Lu Yuanshan, don't go too far!"
"Am I going too far? Comrade Yang won't continue to use these second-hand items when she gets married, right?"
"I didn't expect you to be such a calculating man. I was blind at the time! My dad was right. Once you come out of the countryside, you're full of calculations!"
Yang Tao's face turned red with anger. Lu Yuanshan looked at his wife with a ferocious face and suddenly lost the desire to argue.
He just said coldly: "Yang Tao, when you fell down the hillside, I protected you and I don't regret it at all.
I always thought that no matter what your parents said, you would know what kind of person I was.
But now it seems that I should be glad that I saw through it earlier. "
His words were like a barbed hemp rope that suddenly strangled Yang Tao's neck, leaving her unable to utter a word.
At this moment, a little girl rushed out of the house and hugged Yang Tao's legs: "Mom, I don't want to leave you!"
The little girl, who was about three or four years old, was crying with her snot and tears all over her face, which made Yang Tao feel bad.
But her father was right, she still had a lot of prime years left in her life and she couldn't waste her time on a useless person.
What's more, the man she met at his father's house that day, his conversation, knowledge, and even romanticism impressed her.
She hardened her heart and pulled the girl's arm: "Live a good life with your father from now on."
"Mom, why do you want my brother to leave me? Didn't you say you loved me the most? I will be a good boy in the future, please don't leave me."
