Chapter 183 Divorce
"Later, she was admitted to university, but I was not. I stayed at home to help with housework. She asked me to repeat my studies and take the exam again, but at that time... my family didn't agree, and I didn't want to study anymore. Two years later, I married Qi Wenhan."
She got married in the first month of the year, and she wanted Xiaowen to come to see her off, but Xiaowen said he couldn't
come. But she said so, and on the day, she still came.
"After graduating from college, she chose to go back to her hometown to teach. I followed Qi Wenhan here. Every time I went back to her hometown, she asked me to find a job and not be a housewife. But I..."
She also thought about finding a job and mentioned it to Qi Wenhan, but he always said: You can earn some money by working, and the family doesn't need your money. You just need to take care of the children and do the housework at home. It's better than anything else.
"It's my fault. I didn't live up to expectations and let Xiaowen down." In the past, when she went back to her hometown, she would complain to Xiaowen about Qi Wenhan, and Xiaowen would persuade her to divorce.
But when she thought of divorce, she felt that Qi Wenhan was not that bad, and her son was still so young, so how could she divorce?
So, I don't know when it started, but the contact between them became less and less...
"It's okay, Mom. You and Aunt Xiaowen are still young, and we can be good friends for many, many years to come."
Zhou Xinfang nodded. She decided that after the divorce was done, she would find a job, no matter what kind of job it was, it would be much better than staying at home all the time.
February 18th, the ninth day of the first lunar month.
Zhou Xinfang met with Qi Wenhan, but this time, the lawyers of both parties also met.
As soon as they met, Qi Wenhan acted as if he was heartbroken.
"Xiaofang, we have been married for so many years, I really didn't expect you to want a divorce. But since you brought it up, I have nothing to say, but I won't give in to my son's matter."
Zhou Xinfang was so angry when she heard Qi Wenhan mention his son that she wanted to beat him up, but before coming, the lawyer told her to stay calm.
Zhou Xinfang clenched her hands into fists under the table, and she almost gritted her teeth while speaking.
"My son has grown up. He will decide who to follow. It is not up to you to decide."
"How can he be considered grown up? He is just ignorant. Just because I am strict with him, he wants to follow you. How can he be considered grown up? Children are like this. They like to be lazy. They will know who is the one who is really good for them in the future. If you want to do good for him, you should not let him follow you. With a father who is a professor and a mother who is unemployed, who should he follow? Don't you understand this?"
Zhou Xinfang did not want to waste time talking to him. She had already decided to sue. Qi
Wenhan probably did not expect that his wife, who had always been submissive, would secretly save evidence of his cheating and had handed the evidence to the lawyer.
In the end, the meeting ended unpleasantly, and Zhou Xinfang formally appointed a lawyer to file for divorce.
After receiving the court summons, Qi Wenhan contacted Zhou Xinfang again and asked for an out-of-court settlement, but Zhou Xinfang ignored it.
Zhou Xinfang's biggest appeal was the custody of her son, but the lawyer told her that she could ask for more property on the grounds that Qi Wenhan was the party at fault.
Zhou Xinfang did not object to this. The money was left for her son, so of course she had to ask for more.
In court, Qi Wenhan also argued for the custody of Qi Anlu on the grounds that he had a stable job and a considerable income, while Zhou Xinfang had no job.
However, since Qi Anlu was about to turn sixteen, the judge fully listened to his opinion.
Regarding the distribution of property, the lawyer fought for the greatest benefit for Zhou Xinfang.
Qi Wenhan also agreed, not because he had a change of heart, but because he was afraid.
Zhou Xinfang had evidence of his cheating, and he still had a job. If he disagreed and the matter became a big deal, it would be detrimental to his work.
Zhou Xinfang didn't want to make a big deal about it unless it was absolutely necessary. She knew that she could still control him with this handle.
If it really came to a dead end, who knows what Qi Wenhan would do.
When it really came to this, Zhou Xinfang found that divorce was much simpler than she had imagined.
"Mom, let's buy a cake and go home to celebrate."
"Okay."
The mother and son happily prepared to buy a cake, and no one paid attention to Qi Wenhan.
Before Qi Anlu went to school, Zhou Xinfang took him to the hospital again, and even the doctor was surprised at his improvement.
This result was within Qi Anlu's expectations. Although he was still taking medicine, he felt happy every day and no longer had insomnia at night.
Qi Anlu felt that the invisible hands that had been pressing on his shoulders slowly disappeared, and he felt very light every day.
Zhou Xinfang was so happy that her son was getting better that she almost cried. She was also glad that she made the decision to divorce in time and did not make her son's condition worse.
She did not realize that her own condition was actually getting better.
During the meal, Qi Anlu said to Zhou Xinfang: "Mom, haven't you noticed? You seem to be a lot younger recently."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can anyone get younger? You are so old, why do you want to get younger?" Zhou Xinfang smiled, thinking that her son was trying to make her happy.
Qi Anlu told his friends in the group that he wanted to buy clothes for his mother, but he didn't know what kind of clothes would be suitable for her.
When Qu Zizhou saw the message, he immediately went to find Jiang Yun with his mobile phone.
"Mom, didn't you say you were bored recently? I found something for you to do." Recently, Qu Zizhou's sister and father went back again. Jiang Yun sighed at home every day, and she also disliked Qu Zizhou.
In the end, no one knew what Qu Zizhou said to Jiang Yun, which made her so excited that she wanted to fly to Zhou Xinfang immediately and drag her out shopping.
Zhou Xinfang couldn't resist her son and followed him out.
It was originally a game for two people, but later Jiang Yun called Nian Sui'an, and Chu Mingyan simply asked his mother to join in, while he went out to play with his brothers.
"Zizhou, your idea is not bad."
"That's right, my dad and my sister go to school or work, and my mom is in a bad mood. It's just right to find something for her to do so that she doesn't have to look at me all day long."
Jiang Yun is a hot-tempered person. After taking them shopping to buy clothes, she didn't stop there. She also took the three of them to get their hair permed and have facials.
"I tell you, this shop has great technology, so don't worry."
Nian Sui'an has always felt that a good Tony is harder to find than a good man. Since Jiang Yun recommended it so passionately, she must give it a try.
Zhou Xinfang was a little hesitant at first, but she couldn't resist the persuasion, and finally permed her hair and recharged her card.
The four of them bought clothes, permed their hair, and did beauty treatments. It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening when they got home.
"Anlu, Mom forgot the time. Have you eaten?"
"I have. Mom, you are so beautiful now, and this hairstyle is especially suitable for you."
"How can that be exaggerated." She said so, but the smile on her face never came down.
