While everyone else was resting, things were far from peaceful at Liu Xiuling's house. After finishing their meal, the family gathered in the main room.
"Eldest sister, what's the meaning of you crying and wailing with your mother's family?"
Liu Xiuling instinctively shuddered, but then she remembered what her mother had said before she left.
"It's nothing, just stating the facts. Since everyone's here today, I also have something to say."
Kang Mingfei, the hospital has diagnosed me that I will never be able to have children again. What are your thoughts on this?
If you want children, then we'll get a divorce. But if you tell me now that you're okay with not having biological children, then with everyone here, we'll both write down your vows on paper.
If you change your mind later, we'll still get a divorce, but you'll leave with nothing.
"Xiuling, why do you want to do this? Let's adopt a child from now on."
"You bitch, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have your family backing you up!"
"Mom, I have the means to do whatever I want."
"Kang Mingfei, you have two options. If you want to continue the marriage, you can sign the divorce papers and put your fingerprints on them. We'll also separate, and I'll manage all the money from now on. If you want the children, we'll get a divorce tomorrow."
"You've gone too far?"
"Don't lay a finger on me. If I'm not doing well, nobody's going to be doing well either." Liu Xiuling had come to terms with it all afternoon. Her father was right. Couldn't she support herself?
"Let's see how you make things difficult for me!" Kang Mingfei's mother rushed over, wanting to hit Liu Xiuling.
“If you lay a finger on me, your precious second son and daughter will be out of work tomorrow, and I’ll have my mom’s family pay to publish the story about your daughter splashing water in front of her pregnant sister-in-law’s house.”
My second uncle is a vice mayor; it would be easy for him to get someone to invite her to the police station for questioning. Want to give it a try?
Liu Xiuling has become smarter now and is already planning for a divorce; she no longer wants to compromise herself.
Kang Mingfei stopped his mother. "Xiuling, you weren't like this before. You said you would never use your status to bully others."
Liu Xiuling completely ignored him, staring directly at her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. "You two go and bring me all my jewelry right now, without missing a single piece. Or else?"
Kang Mingjing was really frightened. Without waiting for her mother to speak, she got up and went back to the house to gather all the clothes and other items she had borrowed from her sister-in-law.
They carried it to the main room and placed it in front of Liu Xiuling. "It's all here."
Liu Xiuling looked through them and said, "We are still missing a pair of gold bracelets, a gold necklace, a jade bracelet, a jade pendant, and a gemstone necklace."
Liu Xiuling shook off Kang Mingfei's hand, got up and went into the house. She took out her suitcase, took out a jewelry box from it, and put everything inside, but didn't close it, waiting for the few items she had just mentioned.
Seeing her like this, Kang Mingjing suppressed her heartache, took off the jade bracelet from her wrist, and removed the necklace from her neck.
That's all I have here.
"Mom, take out what you have in your hand too." Kang Mingfei glared at his mother.
“I won’t give it to her; she gave it to me.”
"Mom, are you thinking of making all three of us unemployed? Are you thinking of sending our little sister to the police station?" Kang Mingfei really couldn't do anything with his mother.
"Oh, and also the two thousand yuan you borrowed from me, give me back every penny."
Seeing the anger on the faces of the three of them, Liu Xiuling felt particularly relieved. "If the money is less, my parents will come over tomorrow afternoon. It's okay if we don't have money at home; they'll buy me a house."
"Xiuling, do you really want to do this?" Kang Mingfei asked, suppressing his anger.
“Yes, I must do it this way, otherwise you can just kill me today and let this matter drop.” Liu Xiuling said sarcastically, looking at Kang Mingfei provocatively.
"Mom, you should give her all her things right away."
In the end, Liu Xiuling got everything she wanted.
"Kang Mingfei, divorce or signing the separation papers? Give me your answer right now."
If we get divorced, I'm going back to my mom's house right now.
The three people in the main room remained silent. Kang Mingfei genuinely cared for Liu Xiuling and felt reluctant to divorce her. However, Liu Xiuling's behavior today made it impossible for the family to have a future together. Most importantly, he wanted children. Did he really have to live without any of his own children?
Looking at Kang Mingfei's troubled face, Liu Xiuling laughed loudly, "What kind of woman couldn't I, Liu Xiuling, find back then?"
I'm blind; I chose someone like this. Kang Mingfei, see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow.
Pulling his suitcase, he went back inside, put on his coat, tidied himself up, and then dragged his suitcase out the door.
There was no one on the street at this time. If it were before, Liu Xiuling would never have dared to leave, but now that she was heartbroken, what was there to be afraid of?
An hour and a half later, they knocked on the door.
When Liu Aimin opened the door and saw his eldest daughter, what else could he not understand?
Hu Aifen also got up and quickly made him a bowl of noodle soup.
The couple sat in the living room with their daughter for dinner, and neither of them asked a question.
Liu Jingxiang also came downstairs. "Big sister, why are you back at this hour?"
"I want a divorce."
"divorce?"
"Yes, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow."
"Let's get a divorce. Kang Mingfei isn't a good person either."
"Jingxiang, you go upstairs," Liu Aimin urged his son to go up.
After Liu Xiuling finished eating, she automatically took the food to the kitchen, cleaned it, and then came out.
"Mom and Dad, let's get a divorce tomorrow."
"Fine, let's get a divorce. Don't be sad. Think about whether you want to come back with us or stay here."
"We'll talk about it later. You should tidy up Xiuling's room first."
"Mom, I can do it myself. I'll go next door."
The couple lay down, and Hu Aifen finally burst into tears. "Why is my daughter's life so miserable?"
"It's good. It's much better to get divorced now than later when you're older."
"Honey, I can't swallow this! Why is the person who harmed my daughter still alive?"
"Stop thinking about it, go to sleep. Ask Jingze if he has time tomorrow morning. Or, I can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Xiuling."
Liu Xiuling lay in bed, wide awake, her mind filled with memories of the past.
She truly loved Kang Mingfei. For him, she even fell out with her family. She thought she would just drift through life like this forever, but unexpectedly, her parents, whom she looked down upon, came to her aid.
The next morning, Hu Aifen called Liu Jingze, "Your older sister wants a divorce, do you have time this morning?"
"Yes, I'll be right there." Actually, for Liu Jingze, his sister's divorce was a good thing, and there was no need to keep dragging it out like this.
Breakfast was wontons. Liu Changhong wasn't surprised to see Liu Xiuling; he had overheard their conversation the night before, but hadn't shown up.
