Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Divorce!

Li Shiping sighed, "When his mood gets better, I’ll try to persuade him."

"Sis, you don’t blame me for not agreeing to his request, do you?" Seeing Li Shiping’s current appearance, Li Yue regretted immensely. He should have been firmer, even if it meant she would hate him, he should have stopped her from marrying Wan Dongcheng.

"How could I?" Li Shiping said, "I know you want to help him. It’s Dongcheng’s proposal that was too excessive. This isn’t your fault."

She knew her husband was ambitious beyond his capabilities, always dreaming of instant success, believing he was talented but unwilling to take practical steps.

"Though I don’t like him, for your sake, I wanted to help him. I was planning to let him start as a store manager, then gradually promote him once he gained some experience."

Speaking of this, Li Yue grew even angrier.

He didn’t like Wan Dongcheng, but to prevent his sister from suffering, he was willing to help. Yet, Wan Dongcheng had the audacity to act like a big shot, wanting to ride on the back of their hard-earned brand to open his own store and sell it alongside miscellaneous clothing. How could that be possible?

A man who was nearly too poor to eat, yet he had the nerve to open his own store. Where did he get such gall?

Li Shiping tried to persuade him urgently, "Xiaoyue, don’t be mad at him. It is indeed his fault. I’ve talked to him about it before. He’s just too impatient for success."

Knowing the relationship between her husband and her brother was strained, she was aware it stemmed from her husband’s inferiority complex. Unable to persuade her husband, she could only ask her brother to be more forgiving.

Seeing her still making excuses for Wan Dongcheng, Li Yue felt oppressively frustrated, "Sis, with the way he is, he will never treat you well. You won’t have any good days with him. If you’re unhappy, just get a divorce! If you want to divorce, I’ll talk to our parents. You don’t have to worry about life after the divorce. I’ll take care of you and the child."

Hearing the word divorce, Li Shiping immediately shook her head decisively, "I can’t divorce him. Without a father, what would happen to the child? Besides, your brother-in-law doesn’t have any severe faults. He’s just too young right now. It’ll get better after a year or two."

In these matters, Li Shiping’s thoughts were still very traditional.

In her view, divorce was not something to be proud of and would cause her parents to lose face.

Her father was a professor with an unblemished life, respected wherever he went. Now past his fifties, he should be enjoying his later years. How could he deal with gossip behind his back because of her?

Moreover, she and Wan Dongcheng hadn’t reached the point where they had to divorce.

Wan Dongcheng was simply insecure and felt guilty towards her, thinking he hadn’t provided her with a better life and was letting her down. That was why he was like this.

Seeing her not giving up on Wan Dongcheng, Li Yue knew further persuasion was pointless. He huffed in exasperation and eventually took out five hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Take this money. If you want to buy something tomorrow while shopping, just buy whatever you like."

"I have money. You don’t need to give me any," Li Shiping was reluctant to accept. Ever since she got married, her brother had been giving her financial support, yet she hadn’t done much for him. Now that she was a mother, how could she keep relying on her brother?

If Wan Dongcheng found out, it would only lead to another round of sarcasm. He would say she despised living a hard life with him. But in truth, she really didn’t mind and believed things would get better in the future.

"You haven’t gone shopping with Mom for a long time. It’s not right to shop with her and not buy her something. The child can now eat solid food, you should also buy some nutritious food to nourish the child. This is a gesture from me as an uncle."
