Chapter 29 Asking for an Exorbitant Demand
“I still need to live after the divorce, so I need living expenses, and I also want some food coupons and cloth coupons,” Su Jin said, making a very reasonable request.
"no problem!"
As long as he can get a quick divorce, these assets are really nothing to Zhou Zhenxing.
Su Jin tried hard to suppress her smile, "Then give me 200 yuan for living expenses."
Zhou Zhenxing's expression froze instantly, and he stared straight at her.
Is she crazy?
How could they possibly ask for such an outrageous amount!
Su Jin seemed completely oblivious to his displeasure and continued, "As for grain coupons and cloth coupons, you can give them whatever you think is appropriate."
"You know, my monthly allowance is only 42 yuan now..."
“I really don’t know. 200 yuan is about five months’ allowance for you. With that money, it should be enough for me to keep going until I find a suitable job.”
Su Jin interrupted him seriously before he could finish speaking.
Five months' worth of allowance may not sound like much, but it's a huge sum of money to come up with all at once.
Zhou Zhenxing's eyebrows furrowed even more. "Find a suitable job?"
Does she mean she's not going back?
"Yes. This is the second thing I wanted to tell you. The village and the county have issued me a certificate that I've come here to join the army, so I don't plan to go back to the village. Besides, if I go back, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to explain back home, and there will be negative comments from the village."
Su Jin's consideration was correct. They were divorced, and if she continued to stay in Daliushu Village, the Zhou family would definitely be gossiped about.
Because of her status as an educated youth sent to the countryside, she did not receive a quota to return to the city, but for Zhou Zhenxing, who was in the army, this was still a solution.
As expected, Zhou Zhenxing had no way to deny her statement.
“But you have amnesia and no skills, so you have no way to make a living outside.”
Su Jin murmured sadly, "So, in your heart, I'm just such a useless person."
"That's not what I meant." Zhou Zhenxing instinctively wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Su Jin quickly regained her spirits and met his gaze again, saying, "Don't worry, I definitely won't bother you after the divorce."
Her understanding made Zhou Zhenxing feel a pang of pity.
"We were husband and wife after all. If you ever have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."
He'll help if he can, but that's about it.
Su Jin asked, "So you agreed to my request?"
Zhou Zhenxing nodded. Since things had come to this point, and it was true that he owed her emotionally, he should make amends.
"I'll prepare the divorce papers when I get back. You wait here for my news."
"Okay, I'll wait."
After they finished discussing what needed to be discussed, Su Jin got up and saw him out.
Zhou Zhenxing tried to find sadness on her face, but he couldn't.
He stopped again at the doorway.
"you……"
He opened his mouth, but the words got stuck in his throat.
Su Jin looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"
Zhou Zhenxing's eyes flickered, then he shook his head. "It's nothing. I'll arrange for someone to bring you food these next few days. Just stay here and relax."
Perhaps she was just putting on a brave face. He needed to suppress any inappropriate sympathy or pity so as not to give her any false impressions.
Su Jin replied, "Okay."
After Zhou Zhenxing left the room, she calmly closed the door.
Turning around again, her beautiful eyes were filled with joy and radiance.
