Chapter 45: Divorce Report
Su Tang didn't dare to look up, feeling extremely guilty.
She thought about the matter with modern thinking and felt that this kind of thing was intolerable and that giving Wang Jianfeng a warning could make him restrain himself.
But Su Tang didn't expect that in this era when ideological awareness was not so high, men were the sky.
This time, Zhang Cui herself didn't want to endure it anymore and filed for divorce.
If Zhang Cui didn't have this idea, would she destroy the relationship between the couple in such an impure way?
"Oh, my dear sister, if you say that again, it will really embarrass me, right?"
"I've wanted to do this for a long time, but I never had the opportunity before. I don't know why, but I always feel inferior to men."
"So, please don't ever say sorry to me again. I should be the one thanking you. Your words of thank you have forced out the anger I've been holding back for twelve years. If you hadn't taken the initiative, I might still be stewing in this half-cooked rice until I die."
Zhang Cui gave a helpless smile.
"Sister-in-law, you are really brave."
Su Tang raised her head and looked at Zhang Cui seriously, with undisguised admiration in her eyes: "You have fought for a way out for yourself and Mai Sui. You are an amazing mother."
It’s not that mothers are strong, but women are not meant to be weak.
Zhang Cui did everything well, but Wang Jianfeng never saw her strengths.
Su Tang felt that divorce was actually the best option for the two of them.
I just don’t know if Zhang Cui can withstand all the rumors after the divorce.
"brave?"
Zhang Cui was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Even when pushed into a corner, the rabbit still bites. Besides, we women are tough! I didn't see clearly before and underestimated myself!"
Su Tang was infected by her smile and shook her hand firmly: "Yes! Sister-in-law, you are right! After leaving Wang Jianfeng, with your ability, your life will only get better and better. Mai Sui will also be proud to have you as a mother!"
"That's it."
Zhang Cui straightened her back, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders, and her whole body glowed with a new lease of life.
"Let's go! Let's go find the person in charge and ask him clearly. The sooner this marriage is over, the better!"
Zhang Cui did what she said and took Su Tang straight to the management office of the family compound.
On the way, she met a few military wives who were peeking around. Zhang Cui looked straight ahead and kept her back straight. On the contrary, those who wanted to laugh at her were frightened by her aura and quietly retreated.
Zhang Cui knocked on the office door. Secretary Zhao, who was in charge of family affairs, looked up and saw that it was Zhang Cui and Su Tang, and his heart skipped a beat.
What happened in the cafeteria had already spread.
"Secretary Zhao."
Zhang Cui didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "I want to divorce Wang Jianfeng. How do I write this report? What procedures are required?"
Secretary Zhao almost dropped the pen in his hand onto the table.
Although I had expected this, I was still shocked when I heard Zhang Cui bring it up so decisively.
There are military wives who are getting divorced these days, but it is rare to find one like Zhang Cui who gets straight to the point right after a falling out.
"Comrade Zhang Cui, this...divorce is a serious matter. It affects our children, our family, and Section Chief Wang's work. Would you like to reconsider? The organization can also help you mediate..."
Secretary Zhao tried to mediate according to procedure; after all, it was their tradition to encourage reconciliation over separation. "I'm not considering it. We've been mediating for twelve years, and the more we try, the more he's upset! Secretary Zhao, I've made up my mind. Just tell me, how do I get this report done? What do you need me to do? My daughter Mai Sui is with me, and as for child support, Wang Jianfeng can't lose a cent."
Zhang Cui had clear ideas and a clear goal, which left Director Zhao speechless for a moment.
Su Tang took a step forward at the right time and slowed down his tone.
"Secretary Zhao, we understand the organization's difficulties. But you may have heard what happened in the cafeteria today. Comrade Wang Jianfeng publicly hurled insults, using horrible language. He even threatened not to give Zhang Cui a penny after the divorce and to deprive her of custody of her child."
"This behavior is probably more than just a family conflict, right? Sister Zhang Cui is facing immense pressure, both physically and mentally. Could the organization provide the necessary protection and support? For example, could they arrange for her to move to a new place?"
Every word Su Tang said made sense. He pointed out the seriousness of the problem and also handed over the hat of organizational care.
Secretary Zhao's expression instantly became serious after hearing Su Tang's words.
He pondered for a moment, and finally sighed: "Comrade Zhang Cui, I understand your determination. If you have really thought it through, I won't say much more."
"Divorce reports have a fixed format. I can give you one. Please fill it out first, stating the reasons for the divorce and your demands, especially regarding child custody and property division. As for residence..."
He looked at Zhang Cui and finally said, "For the time being, we can arrange for you to stay in an empty room in the guesthouse. Safety comes first."
"Thank you, Secretary Zhao."
Zhang Cui's eyes lit up and she immediately thanked him.
Secretary Zhao waved his hand, turned around, pulled out a page of paper from the file bag at the back and handed it to Zhang Cui.
After giving it to Zhang Cui, Secretary Zhao looked at Su Tang who was standing next to Zhang Cui.
Su Tang nodded. She understood what Director Zhao was hinting at.
Secretary Zhao thought that she knew a lot and could help Sister Zhang Cui write the divorce report.
When Zhang Cui got the thin divorce report application form, her hands trembled slightly, but her eyes were extremely firm.
This is not just a piece of paper, it is the first door to her new life.
Su Tang also breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first step accomplished.
As the two men walked out of the office with the form, they saw Wang Jianfeng standing not far away, pacing anxiously.
When he saw them come out, especially the paper in Zhang Cui's hand, his eyes instantly turned red.
Zhang Cui, however, acted as if she didn't see him. She held Su Tang's hand and walked past him with her head held high.
"Wang Jianfeng, wait for your signature. I won't serve you this half-cooked meal anymore."
It was the first time that Wang Jianfeng saw Zhang Cui so tough.
Both of them ignored Wang Jianfeng, and this attitude made Wang Jianfeng feel very uncomfortable.
After Zhang Cui and Su Tang returned to the family compound, Zhang Cui went to pack her things.
Mai Sui also woke up and looked at his mother with his big black eyes.
Su Tang picked up Mai Sui and watched Zhang Cui quickly pack up her and Mai Sui's things.
"Sister-in-law, stay at our house tonight and go tomorrow. Hasn't Secretary Zhao made any arrangements yet?"
She held the wheat ears and said something to Su Tang.
In fact, what Su Tang was most worried about was whether Wang Jianfeng would cause trouble if Zhang Cui and Mai Sui stayed in the guesthouse tonight.
It would be better to stay at their house first, write the divorce report, submit it, and then go to the guesthouse.
This also provides a reason. If Wang Jianfeng dares to make trouble, he can be suppressed by the organization.
"That won't work. There's only one room in there. Where are you going to let Brother Lu live?"
Zhang Cui waved her hands repeatedly to refuse.
Su Tang shook his head and said, "Just let him and Chang Jia live in the dormitory. Wait until you fill out the divorce report and submit it, then you can go to the guesthouse."
