Chapter 563: Chapter 563 Desperate

But at this moment, Shuxiu felt there was nothing to consider.

After pondering for a moment, Shuxiu said, "The divorce is definitely happening, they still want me to slave away till the moment they don’t need me and then kick me out with one foot, what a cunning plan they have, I will handle the divorce procedures as soon as possible. The house was assigned to him by his unit, and I am just a temp, so I have no right to be allotted a house. Little Ze must be with me, but he must give me half of his salary until Little Ze graduates from college and starts working. Then he must compensate me, we have over eight hundred yuan in savings, which should all go to me, otherwise I will accuse him of having..."

Shuxiu wanted to say having an affair with a slut, but she swallowed the words back.

"...an improper relationship. If that happens, not only will his reputation be tarnished, but he might not even be able to keep his job."

"If he loses his job, he’ll be nothing. Would Bian Haiying still fancy him then?"

Song Yunuan asked, "But you haven’t caught them in the act, you have no evidence. You might end up getting the tables turned on you."

Shuxiu laughed sarcastically, "Catching him and Bian Haiying at a time when they can’t get enough of each other, if my son can do it, I can do it even better."

Song Yunuan actually came to admire Shuxiu.

"Besides, if he doesn’t agree to divorce, I will make their whole family’s life a living hell. That entire nest is just dead set on keeping up appearances, they’ll want to lord over me, expecting me to continue slaving away, cooking and serving them. It’s not happening. After all, they say I’m not fit to show my face in public, right? Well, I’ll show them what ’not fit’ really looks like."

Song Yunuan nodded vigorously, "Exactly, a tiger doesn’t show its might and you think I, Aunt Xiu, am a sick cat."

"I want to take all these things to the logistics department, not even to let them eat pickles and soup."

"Little Nuan, I’m sorry for holding you up for so long. Go on with your business. In a couple of days, when the beef coupons are distributed, let’s make some big steamed dumplings with beef filling. I’ll pack them for you in a lunchbox and leave it downstairs at the dormitory, then you can eat it after school..."

Song Yunuan stopped her rambling and affectionately took her arm, saying, "Aunt Xiu, let me tell you, I have a company, and I haven’t hired anyone because I can’t take care of it, and untrustworthy people can’t be employed. If you don’t mind, you can help me for a while. There’s a courtyard behind the company, empty right now, which was rented along with the shop space. Living there with three to five people is no issue—it has a separate entrance at the back and is not connected to the front. It’s not as close to Little Ze’s school as here, but it’s not far either, just five stops away. I’m telling you all this to let you know, Aunt Xiu, whatever you choose, you have a fallback plan."

Tears immediately streamed down Shuxiu’s face, and to avoid being seen by Song Yunuan, she hugged her, her voice choking as she said, "Okay, I understand."

Song Yunuan watched her carrying things to her unit, probably to put them away.

Song Yunuan thought that Shuxiu was truly someone who knew when to let go.

When there is no love in the heart, indifference reigns, whether the other party lives or dies or has an affair is of no concern. But once feelings are involved, to want to cut off ties cleanly and decisively is not so easy.

Especially after living together for over a decade.

And having a son together.

When Shuxiu returned home, her gaze was icy cold as she entered empty-handed.

Mother Lin scolded, "You death-seeking fool, why have you only just come back? Why didn’t you buy vegetables? Didn’t you have to buy eggs for your father? Are you deaf or just stupid?

Day in, day out, who knows what’s running through your head.

Coming from a small place, you really have no presence, everything has to be repeated to you a dozen times, otherwise you’re really nothing. Our Lin family marrying you as a daughter-in-law has truly been bad luck for eight lifetimes."

Only Lin Li noticed Shuxiu’s cold demeanor and felt something was amiss. Instead of joining her mother in moving forward, she backed away a few steps.

But she still said softly, "Why are you so late coming back? Not cooking for Little Ze? Every day you’re up to no good."

Shuxiu’s eyes coldly swept over the two of them. Looking at Lin Li, she said in an icy tone, "What’s the matter, the whole family relies on me for food, without me you’d all be dead or starving, right?"

"If I have something to do at noon and don’t come back, are you just not going to eat?"

"You have hands and feet too. Expecting clothes to come when you reach out your hand and food to appear when you open your mouth, have you no shame? "

Mother Lin and Lin Li suddenly widened their eyes, incredulously looking at Luo Shuxiu. Had she gone mad or was she provoked?

When Mother Lin came to her senses, she bellowed furiously, "How dare you speak to my daughter like that, Luo Shuxiu? I think it’s you who should be ashamed. Apologize to my daughter right now, and wait until my son comes home to see how he’ll deal with you."

Luo Shuxiu scoffed, "Your shameless son who messes around with other women, he’s going to straighten me out? Does he have the face to do that? Would he even dare to do that?

Since I married him, in what way have I done wrong, in what way have I not done well?

You two laze around at home in the middle of the day, hands and feet intact but not cooking, just waiting for me every day.

Ever since I came to Beidu, I’ve taken care of all your daily needs, from your meals to everything else, all by myself.

How much would it cost to hire a maid for a month?

Not contributing a penny, it’s all maintained by the money I make from temp jobs.

Even if it’s expected to provide for you, no one said I have to provide for a youngest aunt, right?

A woman in her twenties just stretches her neck, waiting for her hard-working sister-in-law to come back and cook; who’s the one without any shame?

I may come from a small place, not sophisticated enough; I can’t compare to your son who’s apparently so cultured and dignified. Let me tell you, if you think I’ll serve you like before, you can dream on."

With that, she pushed past the dumbfounded Mother Lin and Lin Li, went into her own room to put her bankbook and money in her pocket, and then left the house.

Some people just have a cheap disposition. They took no notice when Luo Shuxiu, who used to put up with everything, finally erupted, and it actually scared them both.

With mouths hanging open, they watched Luo Shuxiu, not even knowing what to say.

After coming to her senses, an embarrassed and angry Mother Lin lunged at Luo Shuxiu.

Then she also came to a realization.

Luo Shuxiu kept repeating ’messing around with other women’; she better keep quiet, as if it got out, Lin Han’s reputation would be ruined.

What sin did the Lin family commit to be saddled with such a brazenly troublesome and shameless daughter-in-law?

She lunged at her, wanting Luo Shuxiu to shut up.

Luo Shuxiu, accustomed to hard work, naturally wouldn’t raise her hand to her mother-in-law, not wanting to give her the upper hand.

She dodged a few steps to the side, opened the door, and shouted loudly, "Everybody come quick! My mother-in-law is going crazy and wants to hit me, somebody come help hold her back..."

This maneuver dumbfounded Mother Lin.

She stood there, her face turned to a livid shade of rage.

"Divorce, divorce, Luo Shuxiu, I’ll make sure my son divorces you!"
