Chapter 58 Divorced but Not Separated



Zhang Min dismissed it, saying, "Don't listen to what Zhuang Zhenbei says. Maybe Zhuang Zhennan is just using Zhuang Zhenbei's words to scare us!"

Zhuang Xiaoting thought this made sense, but she still said with concern, "That makes sense, but we should still be careful. If something goes wrong, how can Tu Nan and I bear it!"

Zhang Min quickly comforted Zhuang Xiaoting, saying, "It's alright, isn't there Xiaojun's master? After dinner, I'll have Xiaojun go to the police station and tell his master so we can be prepared and make Zhuang Zhennan walk right into the trap."

Zhuang Xiaoting nodded and said, "That's right, now that he's told us, only a fool wouldn't make preparations!"

As they talked, the two of them started chatting idly. Before they knew it, it was getting dark, and the three of them began to pack up the newsstand in preparation for closing time. At this moment, Wu Xiaojun also came out to help, and the four of them packed up quickly.

Wu Shanshan, who was at the kindergarten across the street, saw Zhang Min and Wu Xiaojun helping Zhuang Tunan. She was furious and flew into a rage, but she didn't know how to vent her anger. Finally, she took out a washboard and made Liu Jian kneel on it. But she still wasn't satisfied, so she picked up a feather duster from home and whipped Liu Jian's back, making him howl and bark like a wolf, making all sorts of bizarre noises.

As soon as she stopped, Liu Jian stood up and said, "Did you vent your anger? Did you feel better? Then let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and get our divorce certificates?"

Wu Shanshan glared at Liu Jian and said, "How much did Zhou Chengzhi pay you to make such a big decision?"

Liu Jian sat back on the sofa, looked at Wu Shanshan, and said with a grin, "It's not much, just 100,000 yuan, enough for me to start a small business!"

"You've got this idea just because of 100,000 yuan?"

"No, it's just that after living with you for these past few years, I've realized I can't outsmart you. I'm no match for scheming, and I'm even less ruthless. You control me so tightly at home that my friends think I'm a henpecked husband. No, I have to get rid of that label!"

Wu Shanshan looked at the man she had lived with for several years and said, "Okay, I can agree to a divorce, but what are the conditions?"

"I won't drag you into this. Give me the child, you can keep the kindergarten, and you have to pay back the 30,000 yuan hole!"

"Okay, anything else?"

"I invested over 10,000 yuan in this kindergarten, and I feel like I'm losing money, so I have one last request!"

Tell me!

"We'll stay together even after the divorce, until I remarry!"

"You're shameless!"

"This kindergarten, along with the land, is worth at least 80,000 yuan, right? Is it unreasonable for me to ask for some interest?"

Instead of getting angry, Wu Shanshan smiled and said, "Fine! Five hundred per visit. If you have the money, come every day!"

Liu Jian said angrily, "Who do you think you are? Five hundred a time?"

Wu Shanshan rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you think it's too expensive, don't come!"

"Give me a discount!"

"No!"

"Then I'll arrange for someone to deal with your sister tomorrow, so she can't help Zhuang Tunan anymore. That should make you feel better, okay?"

"Fine, I'll waive one day's fee for you, on the day of the divorce. No exceptions after that!"

"you,,,!"

"What's wrong? You said you wanted a divorce, and I went along with it!"

Liu Jian suddenly changed his expression and said with a grin, "I was just kidding. Why would we get a divorce when we're doing so well? I still want to grow old with you and hold your hand for the rest of my life!"

"Look at you, so hypocritical! You could marry any woman you want with 100,000 yuan! Why do you have to stay here with me?"

"Is it mainly because you can't bear to part with your body?"

"Get out! Starting today, we're sleeping in separate beds. If you dare touch me, I'll stab you with scissors!"

Liu Jian said with a somewhat unnatural expression, "I... I still need to help you deal with your sister. Aren't you letting me help you anymore?"

Then Wu Shanshan smiled gently at Liu Jian and said, "Okay! You can go to bed tonight, but starting tomorrow, go back to your office to sleep. Oh, and bring your precious son with you!"

Liu Jian suddenly pointed at Wu Shanshan and said, "You, how could you do this? We're not divorced yet!"

"When you say the word 'divorce,' it's the same as being divorced. You don't have to go to bed tonight, but after midnight, you can never touch my body again!"

After Wu Shanshan finished speaking, she left the office, leaving Liu Jian alone.

Liu Jian thought about it and regretted mentioning divorce earlier. He slapped himself twice and then happily went after Wu Shanshan.

When Zhang Min and Wu Jianguo returned home, she told them what had happened that day. Wu Jianguo said, "Great! Xiao Jun has made something of himself. He even recognized a criminal police captain as his teacher. Alright, I support him!"

Zhang Amei said, "Dad, I heard there have been many murders in various places recently, and the police can't solve them. Isn't that too risky? Xiaojun is our only boy!"

"It's precisely because the public security situation isn't good that we need the police to maintain order. Otherwise, what's the point of having the police? I support Xiaojun becoming a policeman!"

Upon hearing his father agree with his idea, Wu Xiaojun smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad. I will definitely study hard and strive to become a good policeman!"

At this moment, everyone in the family showed happy expressions.

Zhang Min then said, "Dad, I want to get up early tomorrow to fetch the newspaper for Brother Tunan. You see, he's in a wheelchair and it's inconvenient for him to go to the post office, so I want to go to the post office for Aunt Huang and help Brother Tunan get the newspaper back!"

Perhaps because Wu Xiaojun was happy to have his parents' support, he said, "It's not convenient for you, a girl, to walk alone at night. Let me help Brother Tu Nan!"

"You still have your job. You can't lose your job at the post office before you pass the auxiliary police exam!"

"But it's three or four in the morning, which is the coldest time of day. I'm worried you'll suffer!"

There's a saying: "Helping others is the source of happiness; what's a little suffering?"

Zhang Amei said to Wu Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, don't argue with your sister. Let her do what she wants! After all, helping neighbors is a good thing. Haven't we received help from farmers before?"

Wu Xiaojun suddenly smiled and said, "Mom, do you know what my sister Xiaoting said today?"

"Hmm, what?"

She said my sister is her sister-in-law!

"Oh, it's probably because Tu Nan is suffering terribly right now and has no one to help him except you, his silly older sister, who is not afraid of gossip and insists on helping him, giving him a false impression!"

Zhang Min suddenly blushed and said to Zhang Amei, "Mom, I like Brother Tu Nan!"

Zhang Amei looked at Zhang Min and said, "I don't agree. You can help him, but you can't marry him. You need to know that he's in a wheelchair now. How will he support his family? In the future, he'll have two elderly people to support and children to raise. The burden will be very heavy. It wouldn't be difficult for you to find someone with good arms and legs!"

"But I just love Brother Tunan!"

Wu Xiaojun, who was standing nearby, said, "Mom, I think Brother Tu Nan is pretty good!"

"Go away, go away, what do you know? Kid, get out of here!"

Zhang Min said, "Xiao Jun, go to the police station and tell Captain Li that Zhuang Zhennan has appeared near our house and might try to stop me from delivering newspapers tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

After watching Wu Xiaojun leave, Zhang Amei spoke again, "Xiaomin, let me tell you, I will not approve of your relationship with Tu Nan!"

Zhang Min looked to Wu Jianguo for help, and Wu Jianguo smiled and said to Zhang Amei, "Amei! Just let the child decide for herself! I dare say, even if Xiaomin is willing, Tu Nan definitely won't be. Once she gets a cold shoulder, she'll know to back down!"

"Dad, how do you know Tu Nan doesn't like me?"
