Shen Qingwen was exhausted and didn't say a word the whole way, just letting them do whatever they wanted.
When he arrived at the location, he found it was a clothing store.
Its name is Lotus Pond.
"Mom, if you want to buy clothes, then buy them. Haven't I already given you all my money? What more do you want?!"
Shen Qingwen couldn't help but get angry.
Mother Shen glanced mysteriously behind her, her eyes lighting up instantly. "They're here, they're here."
Shen Qingwen turned around and saw his father.
The old man hurried over, muttering curses, "It's so far, you old hag! Next time something like this happens, go by yourself, or I'll beat you up!"
Mother Shen shuddered, then immediately asked, "How did they go? Where did they go?"
"A roast duck restaurant, what's its name, Quan De?"
The old man frowned, then turned to look at the clothing store in front of him, and spat hard on the ground.
Mother Shen grabbed Shen Qingwen's sleeve, her voice full of pleading: "Son, please beg Shuhe to come back. You two can live a good life together from now on. I promise I won't say another word to her, okay?"
Shen Qingwen was taken aback, not understanding his mother's seemingly random words.
"Mom, what do you mean by that?"
He pushed up his glasses and said firmly, "Shuhe and I are already divorced. There's no future for us. You can continue to find me blind dates!"
Upon hearing this, Mother Shen immediately became displeased.
"I...I can't find it!"
Mother Shen, with a "what's the use" attitude, said, "Who knows? These wretched women in the capital all think they're so precious, demanding dowries! Where would we get that much money? Besides, it's not worth it to give it to those people!"
Shen Qingwen's previous blind dates were information obtained by her mother from middlemen she found in the park, who would give her a little money.
Since the incident at the state-run restaurant, Shen's mother's face has become well-known, especially in the matchmaking market. As soon as people hear that she is looking for a partner for her son, they avoid her like the plague.
Mother Shen was truly at her wit's end.
"Son, look at this clothing store. It just opened today, and I heard it made this much money in just one day!"
Chen Mu stretched out four fingers.
Shen Qingwen didn't care at all. "There are plenty of rich people in Beijing. That has nothing to do with us. If you want to open a clothing store, give up on that idea as soon as possible! I don't have that kind of money. Even if I did, I'd save it for getting married."
As Shen Qingwen spoke, he glanced at his younger brother, who was standing to the side, looking nonchalant.
He knew his family's character all too well.
Even if he did have that much money, Shen Qingwen would never let them squander it again.
"no!"
Mother Shen slapped her thigh, "Your father and your brother came out for a walk today and came here to join the fun, only to find that this shop is owned by Shuhe!"
Shen Qingwen finally reacted, but quickly returned to his half-dead state, saying, "Oh, it's normal that his family has the means."
Mother Shen stamped her foot in exasperation, "Son, you're such a blockhead! Think about it, Shuhe can earn so much money a day just by running this shop. If you go and ask her to come back and live with you, then the money she earns will be our family's money!"
Shen Qingwen's younger brother, with his hands in his pockets, also came over and said, "Yeah, brother, go apologize to your wife and ask her to come back. This clothing store is so big, she can't manage it all by herself. I'm free anyway, I can help her manage it. Once you start making money, you don't need to go to work anymore, since your job doesn't pay much anyway."
Shen Qingwen raised his hand and waved it away, knocking away his mother's hand that was grabbing his clothes.
"I don't earn much money? My job doesn't pay, yet I support all of you, including your son?"
Shen Qingwen's eyes were bloodshot; he was devastated upon hearing such words.
Shen Qingwen's younger brother looked embarrassed and muttered, "It's not just barely making ends meet. You won't even buy my son milk powder if he wants to drink it."
He had brought this up several times, and he harbored deep resentment towards his older brother.
"You! All of you!"
Shen Qingwen felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand up.
Mother Shen rushed over to support him, tears streaming down her face. She cried out, "Son, don't blame your brother. He's never been to school, he doesn't know anything, and he doesn't think before he speaks."
"You know, that's the kind of person your brother is."
Shen Qingwen waved his hand, "Never mind, let's go back first."
"That won't do, brother. You need to go find your sister-in-law and bring her back. I still want to work at the clothing store."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shen Qingwen's younger brother immediately said, "Brother, your wife has been throwing a tantrum for so long, shouldn't she go back now?"
"I'm divorced from her! Don't you understand what divorce means? Didn't I tell you? Have you lost your mind?!"
Shen Qingwen suddenly flew into a rage and kicked his younger brother.
Chen's mother screamed, "Egg! Egg, where are you hurt? Come here, let Mom take a look."
If the tears shed by Chen's mother earlier were bait, then what she is showing now is her true feelings.
The younger son was kicked to the ground by the older son, and the mother was heartbroken and cried her heart out.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. I'll say it one last time: Li Shuhe and I are divorced!"
Shen Qingwen roared out at the top of his lungs.
People were coming and going on the street, but no one gathered around to watch the commotion, because everyone felt that these people looked a bit strange.
Chen's mother cried loudly, sobbing as she continued, "You can remarry even if you're divorced. I've heard it from others. Son, don't be so stubborn. Go and apologize to Shuhe. She's at that roast duck restaurant your father mentioned right now. Go and win her back."
"I don't."
Shen Qingwen was unusually resolute, and said coldly, "Mom, I want to remarry. You ruined my wife, so you have to find me a new one."
Mother Shen didn't even have time to cry. She jumped up and rushed towards Shen Qingwen, saying, "You child, I've found so many wives for you, but you didn't like any of them. Now you're blaming me. Did I cause your wives to leave? It was your own fault for being incompetent."
Despite being torn and slapped, Shen Qingwen didn't flinch and just stood there straight.
"No matter what you say, give me back my wife, or I'll die."
Shen Qingwen spoke indifferently, as if he didn't care about anything.
These words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving the others stunned and speechless.
"After I die, you can do whatever you want."
As Shen Qingwen spoke, he took out a small bottle of medicine from his pocket, unscrewed the cap, and was about to pour it into his mouth. "I don't understand, Dad, Mom, you don't love me. You only care about my little brother. Why did you even give birth to me? Are you happy to see me suffer like this?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Shen Qingwen finished speaking and poured the medicine into her mouth without hesitation.
Shen's mother was close by and could tell at a glance that it was pesticide!
