When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Time seemed to stand still, and everyone looked at Zhang Cui.
She didn't look at Lao Wang, or at anyone else. There were traces of tears on her face and her eyes were red and swollen.
Zhang Cui raised her hand and wiped the tears from her face.
The action was done with a fierce determination to go all out.
"Wang Jianfeng."
Zhang Cui no longer called him Lao Wang or the head of the family. Instead, she called him by his full name, for the first time in such a solemn manner.
"I've been eating this half-cooked bowl of rice for twelve years."
She sneered, patted Su Tang's hand to comfort him, and then looked at Wang Jianfeng.
Everyone in the camp knew that her marriage with Lao Wang was an arranged one, and they also knew that Lao Wang was only polite to her on the surface.
But who made Zhang Cui and Lao Wang a child marriage?
The two of them were from the same village and were engaged when they were very young. When they grew up, their families arranged for them to get married.
If Lao Wang didn't want to, why didn't he say it earlier? Why did he have to get married to disgust Zhang Cui?
Especially after coming to the Northwest, he felt that Zhang Cui was extremely vulgar and became even more dissatisfied with this marriage.
Compared to Zheng Jinxin, or other pretty girls in the camp, Zhang Cui, who is only in her thirties, looks like she is in her forties or fifties.
He looked down on Zhang Cui, but he felt at ease enjoying Zhang Cui's kindness to him.
Even though he doesn't love her, he can still have children with her.
This attitude of wanting everything is what makes Su Tang feel most sorry for Zhang Cui.
Everyone was moved by Su Tang's words.
In fact, at that time, many marriages were arranged marriages, and people just lived like that for the rest of their lives.
Even if he had other thoughts, he wouldn't be as naked and unconcealed as Lao Wang.
If he really didn't have that idea, why did he become so angry after Su Tang pointed it out?
"What did you say? Zhang Cui, what did you say?"
Wang Jianfeng obviously didn't expect Zhang Cui to tell him about divorce.
When he realized what was happening, he immediately pointed at Zhang Cui's nose and cursed her.
Lu Xiao stood up and directly blocked Wang Jianfeng's fingers.
"She said she wanted a divorce. Didn't you hear clearly?"
It was not until Lu Xiao repeated this sentence that Wang Jianfeng took two steps back as if he suddenly realized something.
"Divorce..."
"Zhang Cui, you want to divorce me? Mai Sui is still so young, and you're saying you want to divorce me?"
He tried to use the child to wake up Zhang Cui, his voice filled with disbelief.
The last trace of hesitation in Zhang Cui's eyes was completely extinguished when Wang Jianfeng mentioned the child as a bargaining chip again.
She curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Wang Jianfeng, you still have the nerve to mention wheat ears?"
"In all these years as a father, what have you given her besides a surname? Do you always look down on us mother and daughter for being unpresentable? Or do you flirt with women everywhere and set an example for Mai Sui?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Wang Jianfeng was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His face turned purple and his fingers, which were pointing at Zhang Cui, were shaking.
"I...I was just socializing normally. When did I flirt with a woman? Stop slandering me!"
"Slandering?"
Zhang Cui took a step forward, stopped dodging, and looked directly into Wang Jianfeng's eyes.
"Wang Jianfeng, check your conscience! If Sister Su Tang hadn't pointed it out today, would you still think you did it perfectly? Do you still think I, Zhang Cui, should remain deaf and dumb for the rest of my life, serving you food and drink while watching you find other women?"
"People are all made of flesh and blood, Wang Jianfeng, you are such a black-hearted person!"
She took a deep breath and said in a firm tone, "I'm going to divorce you! It's a hundred times better for Mai Sui to follow me than to have a father like you!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Wang Jianfeng was completely panicked. Divorce? If this got out, how would Wang Jianfeng save his face?
Do you still want the position of logistics section chief?
He suddenly looked at Su Tang with a resentful look in his eyes: "It's all your fault! Su Tang! You troublemaker! If you hadn't been meddling in other people's business..."
"Wang Jianfeng."
Lu Xiao's voice was not loud, but it instantly stopped Wang Jianfeng's shouting.
He hadn't known when he had completely blocked Su Tang's way, his tall figure carrying an invisible oppression.
"Be aware of your status. If you continue to speak rudely to my lover, you will suffer the consequences."
Wang Jianfeng shivered at Lu Xiao's cold eyes, and the rest of his words were stuck in his throat, making his heart ache.
He didn't dare to provoke Lu Xiao, so he could only turn his attention to Zhang Cui again and speak threatening words.
"Zhang Cui, if you leave me, where can you go? Back to your mountain village? And let your parents be embarrassed with you? I'm telling you, after the divorce, you can't take a penny from me! You can't even take the wheat ears!"
He thought this would scare Zhang Cui and make her give up.
Zhang Cui just looked at him quietly, as if she was looking at a stranger, or watching a poor performance.
After spending so many years with Wang Jianfeng, it was the first time that Zhang Cui realized how despicable this man was.
"Money? Wang Jianfeng, how much money have you given home in these years? Who did you spend your money on? Don't you have any idea?"
Zhang Cui's voice was unusually calm, with a hint of fatigue.
"As for the wheat ears, I absolutely won't give them to you. Shame on you? Ha, continuing to live with you would be a disgrace to me, Zhang Cui, and all eight generations of our ancestors!"
After she finished speaking, she no longer looked at Wang Jianfeng, but instead took Su Tang's hand, her voice light with a hint of relief: "Sister, let's go and accompany my sister-in-law to ask how to write this divorce report."
"Okay." Su Tang responded immediately and held Zhang Cui's cold hand tightly.
