Chapter 137: I want a divorce
The bald wife looked at Shen Meng in confusion, frowning and shaking her head, as if she didn't understand what she was saying.
"I didn't mean to do anything, what do you mean?"
"Yu Shirley, you are very smart, and I am not stupid either. Let's be frank and don't beat around the bush. Just tell me your purpose directly. There is no point in talking to me like this. You have never had a say in the Xu family. Even if they want to take advantage of the fact that Lu Zhenping and I are unaware and bully the three children, they can't avoid you. So you knew what Laizi and the others wanted to do. Why did you go there at such a coincidence? I think they followed us all the way. Yu Shirley, I have already said this, don't you want to speak?"
Mingyang, Mingliang and Mingfang were very grateful to Yu Shirley for saving them. Even though she had a bad reputation before and they had seen her being lazy, they felt from the bottom of their hearts that she was a good person for saving their lives, and they unconsciously felt a sense of closeness to her.
But what her mother said just now clearly didn't mean that. She saved her on purpose. Such a lie made the three children glare at her immediately. Even Xie Jinghao, who spoke to her in a gentle voice, frowned fiercely.
"Why are you doing that? They are still so young. If someone dies, you and Laizi will both be put in jail. Aren't you afraid? You are also a mother. How could you bear to do that?"
Yu Xueli smiled sadly and looked up at Shen Meng.
"As expected, this person who has had a bad reputation all her life suddenly did a good thing, and no one is willing to believe her. You can think whatever you want. Anyway, your child is fine, so I'm going back."
When she was about to get off the kang, Shen Meng pulled her and said, "As a mother, it's normal for me to think this way. You see, you were misunderstood, and you didn't even explain it. How can you blame me? Besides, even if I guessed wrong, I think most of it should be right."
"Yes, you guessed it right. The Xu family looked down on me and even told me how they beat other people's children. At first, I didn't want to care about it. I couldn't even take care of my own children, so how could I take care of other people's children? But my son is not a good person. He inherited the Xu family's virtues and has been a bad embryo since he was a child. I only have two poor daughters. After Laizi left, I was very uneasy. I thought, forget it, you and Lu Zhenping are not easy to bully. If you know about this, they can't get away. But I didn't expect that Dezi would pull Daya and his sister to the water tank. He said that if I made him unhappy, he would drown Daya. I was shocked at that time. After saving Daya, I ran towards the way home from school. I didn’t look for you because I knew you were going to the county town. I thought as long as I ran faster, I could save Mingyang and the others. Then I would stand up for the life-saving grace, and you would help me at least. "
Yu Shirley's voice was trembling when she said this. She really didn't want to care at first. She and the two girls were not living a human life in the Xu family. If they offended Laizi again, she didn't dare to think about what their life would be like in the future.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
"Divorce. I want to divorce Laizi and take Da Ya and Xiao Ya away. I want to have a thatched house in Lujia Village, which is enough for the three of us to live on."
Shen Meng frowned and said nothing. She didn't expect that Yu Shirley wanted this. Not to mention Lujia Village, there are not many women in the whole county who dare to ask for divorce. These days, no one who has been wronged is holding it in. There are many women who have been bullied in the village. Take
Sister Lianhua for example. Not only is she bullied by her eldest sister-in-law and mother-in-law, but her husband also gives her a hard time from time to time.
"I am the third child in my family. I went to school for two days. I used to be an activist and an outstanding model of the production team. There is something you probably don't know. Zhao Wei, who worked under Lu Zhenping, and I had a blind date. At that time, we were almost getting married. Not long after, it was reported that I had hooked up with Xu Daqiang from Lujia Village and that I was pregnant. Everyone said that I was willing to be a lowly person. I didn't deserve to be a good military wife, but secretly slept with a scabby dog, and wanted Zhao Wei to be a living cuckold. My parents thought I was shameful and cut off all ties with me. I no longer had a natal family, so the Xu family bullied me so much. I... I didn't accept my fate. No matter what others said, life had to go on. I worked hard to earn work points to make my life better. But after a year, I realized it was useless. The Xu family was rotten from the root. No matter how hard I tried, it was useless. So I gradually became a sly daughter-in-law who was seen as a slacker, lazy, and taking advantage of others. "After
Yu Shirley finished speaking, the room was quiet. Shen Meng and Xie Jinghao didn't say anything. They could almost imagine that such a positive, excellent, hardworking and bright girl was ruined by Xu Daqiang and those groundless rumors.
"Besides a divorce and two girls, what else do you want?"
Yu Shirley shook her head. It was already a great thing for her to get a divorce and live with two girls. How could she dare to think of anything else? She just hoped that the Xu family would completely cut off their relationship with her in the future.
Shen Meng thought for a while and then said, "You said Laizi has a lover, who is it?"
"Who else could it be? Liu Suqin!"
No wonder she had such an expression when she saw Liu Suqin being beaten that day.
"Yu Shirley, your story is indeed touching, but it is not so easy for a couple to divorce. I can't guarantee that I can do it. Let's discuss it later!"
She was very happy to get such an answer. Even if the divorce could not be completed, she was sure that Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping would remember what happened today no matter when. If they become successful in the future, Daya and Xiaoya will have an extra way to survive.
Shen Meng looked at her staggering back and said, "You may be beaten when you go home later. I will ask people to call the village head, party secretary and women's director. I think you should understand what to say then."
Yu Shirley paused and then nodded.
Xie Jing waited for her to leave in the room, and she couldn't help sobbing twice. As a woman, how could she not understand Yu Shirley's suffering? She had seen how the Xu family treated her over the years, but there were many cases of country men beating women. If they were better people, they could be persuaded.
But almost no one went to Laizi's house. In addition, everyone had a bad impression of Laizi's wife, and seeing her being beaten was just for fun. Who would be willing to waste time persuading her? Even if someone persuaded her, it would be like pouring fuel on the fire.
"Mingfang, Mingliang, my poor grandson, what has happened to you that you are bullied by others? Come on, follow your grandparents. We must smash his pot today."
