Chapter 73 Shu Xue Returns to Her Parents' Home
After breakfast and packing up, the car sent by Commander Yang arrived.
Zuo Zixuan put the luggage in the car, turned around and looked at the small courtyard behind him where he had lived for a month or two, feeling a little melancholy. He didn't know if he would come back again.
He Yi left without saying a word this morning. Maybe after he calms down and thinks things through after a while, he will file for divorce on his own without me having to bring it up again, right?
Grandma He was sitting in the car. She saw through the window Zuo Zixuan standing in front of the gate with a melancholy look on her face, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
It seems that this marriage cannot be divorced for a while.
He Yi, sitting in the office, held the pen but couldn't put it to paper. He looked up at the blue sky outside the window in a daze.
She should have left, right?
Do I really have no chance at all?
"Oh, is the sun rising from the west today? Why doesn't the clingy guy go and send his young wife on board?" Commander Yang passed by He Yi's office and saw him staring out the window in a daze, and teased him.
He Yi came back to his senses, lowered his head, and quickly wrote comments on the document, "She doesn't need me to send her there."
"Tsk, tsk, is this a quarrel?
"When you are young, you should quarrel more. When you are our age, you will not even bother to quarrel. You will just get tired of each other."
Commander Yang persuaded He Yi very wisely.
When he returned that day, Shu Xue had already moved all her belongings to her parents' home.
Three days later, his father-in-law called and asked him to apologize to Shu Xue, give the family passbook to Shu Xue, and coax her back home.
Commander Yang didn't show any respect to his father-in-law at the time, and directly said:
"I didn't hit her, I didn't scold her, I didn't chase her away, I didn't mess around outside, and I didn't file for divorce.
She packed up all her things and went back by herself. What does it have to do with me?"
"Father-in-law, you are also a retired cadre in the city. You can't be so confused about right and wrong, right?"
Commander Yang was so angry at his father-in-law's request that he laughed. He stopped calling him "Dad" and called him father-in-law directly.
"She took everything back. What does that mean? It's obvious that she doesn't want to continue living like this anymore."
"She doesn't even want to move on, so why should I keep her the passbook? If one day she takes out all my belongings and runs away, who can I cry to?"
"If she wants to come back, then she can come back. If she doesn't want to come back, then forget it. If she wants a divorce, just tell me so I can file for divorce.
We are all in our 50s and 60s, why are we still using the same tricks as young people? Who are you trying to fool?"
After he finished talking, he hung up the phone with a snap.
Although the phone did not have a hands-free function, the voices on both sides were loud, and the Shu family could hear almost everything that was said in the call clearly.
Commander Yang's father-in-law could clearly hear that Commander Yang was angry, so he didn't want to call him again and embarrass himself.
He looked up at Shu Xue, who was crying and sitting opposite him. After thinking for a while, he called Yang Jian's workplace again.
"Jianjian, your father is too unreasonable. He took away the family's savings book and wanted to divorce your mother.
Talk to your dad and ask him to give the passbook to your mom, come over to apologize to her, and take her back."
Yang Jian rubbed his temples in annoyance. The child had a fever last night. He and his wife had been busy all night and hadn't slept. Now they were very sleepy. He said impatiently:
"Grandpa, you should try to persuade my mom. She's already in her 50s or 60s. Why don't you live a good life instead of making trouble with my dad all day?
My dad is a soldier and has a lot of things to do all day long. How could he have so much time to talk to her about trivial things?
If she likes to live with you, just let her stay.
My dad gives her 30 yuan pocket money every month so that she can pay your rent and living expenses.
If it’s not enough, I’ll subsidize you another ten yuan every month.
I'm tired enough, if my dad wants a divorce, then let him do it.
It's better for them to get divorced, so that I don't have to mediate their relationship when they are decades old."
"Hey! Jianjian, this is your biological mother. How can you support your father in divorcing her?" Shu Xue's father said with an unhappy look on his face.
"She's acting like she's getting a divorce, moving all her stuff back to her parents' house, does she really need my support?
Okay, okay, Grandpa...
My mother doesn't have to go to work, and you are a retired cadre, so you two are both bored.
But we young people still have to work and earn money to support our families.
I have some official business to attend to now, that’s all…”
beep...
The Shu family listened to the call being hung up and looked at each other.
Shu Xue's sister-in-law Zheng Ping sneered, "Oh, sister, I think what my brother-in-law and Jianjian said is right.
Your brother-in-law didn't hit you or scold you, so why did you run to your mother's house for no reason?
I've only lived here for two months, and after just three days back, I'm back again.
You said you are divorced or are preparing to divorce and want to come back to live, so I won’t say anything.
But what is going on with you?"
Shu Xue's younger brother Shu Hong quietly tugged at the corner of Zheng Ping's clothes, signaling her to stop talking.
It would have been fine if Shu Hong hadn't said anything, but when he did, Zheng Ping instantly got angry and stood up, pointing at Shu Hong and yelling:
"What are you talking about?
As soon as your elder sister comes back, Su Jun will have to give up his room to her and move into the side shed in the hospital.
In the summer, you will just get bitten by mosquitoes a few times, but what should you do in the winter?
That side shed is drafty on all sides, how can people live there?"
"There's no room for us here, so I'm going to take Su Jun back to my parents' home..."
Zheng Ping didn't care at all that Su's parents' faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot, and was about to turn around and go back to her room to pack her things.
But after taking two steps, he seemed to remember something, stopped, turned around and said to Shu Hong:
"Oh, by the way, Shu Hong...
It has been more than ten years, and I've had enough of this life. There is really no place to live in this house, so we might as well just get divorced. I can then take Su Jun back to my parents' home with a legitimate reason.
After all, I have my own job and don't have to rely on anyone for a living.
My mother's house has many rooms, so even if my son and I move back, there will still be empty rooms at home."
"Zheng Ping, Zheng Ping...
What are you doing? Aren't we coordinating?" Shu Hong chased after him and stopped him.
"My brother-in-law's meaning is very clear. If she wants to go back, she can go back on her own. If she doesn't want to go back, he won't come to pick her up. If she wants a divorce, he will file a report immediately.
What else is there to coordinate?" Zheng Ping rolled her eyes, turned and went into the bedroom, closing the door with a bang.
Shu Hong felt very frustrated and his anger was rising.
His sister lived here for two months, and his son lived in a shed for two months. Every morning when he woke up, he was covered with mosquito bites.
Because of this, Zheng Ping had countless quarrels with him behind his back.
But she is my own sister. If she refuses to leave, do I have to chase her out?
Seeing Zheng Ping's arrogant attitude, Shu's father was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at the bedroom and roared, "If you want to divorce, then divorce. I don't believe that my Shu family will not be able to find a daughter-in-law better than you."
As soon as the words fell, the bedroom door opened with a bang. Zheng Ping stood at the bedroom door with red eyes and said in a choked voice:
"Dad, remember what you said today.
From now on, if I step into the gate of your Shu family again, I will be driven away when I leave..."
Snapped……
"Zheng Ping..." Shu Hong roared and slapped her in the face, interrupting what she was about to say.
"Shu Hong, you actually hit me?
This is the first time in more than a decade, and also the last time. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, I will go to the street office to handle the formalities. "
Zheng Ping's tears flowed down her cheeks, she pursed her lips, and walked out the door picking up her things.
Shu Hong looked at his right hand and didn't react for a long time. He actually hit his wife.
When he came to his senses, he slapped himself hard in the face and ran out of the house after Zheng Ping.
Father Shu frowned and looked at the backs of the two people leaving. Suddenly he realized that he seemed to have said something too much.
But when he turned around and saw Shu Xue, whose eyes were as red as peaches, he comforted her:
“Okay, stop crying and stay at home peacefully.
I don't believe that your man really won't come to pick you up.
If he doesn't come to pick you up, I'll go to the army to find him.
If he still doesn't come to pick me up, I'll call the General Military Region and report him."
"Dad, after you make such a fuss, do I still have any shame?" Shu Xue hurriedly stopped his father when he heard what he said.
She didn't want the matter to be known to everyone. That would be so embarrassing. Would she give up the image she had maintained for so many years?
"So what do you want to do? Go back by yourself?"
Shu Xue: ...
When she was moving things that morning, it was such a big scene that many people in the military family area saw it.
If Commander Yang didn't come to pick her up, it would be so embarrassing for her to go back alone.
Not only that, if I just go back like that, wouldn't that just help boost General Yang's prestige? Then next time, wouldn't he bully me even more unscrupulously?
So I absolutely cannot go back by myself.
After eleven o'clock that evening, Shu Hong returned with a bruised face.
The Shu family was shocked and thought he had met some bad guy. After asking, they found out that he was beaten by Zheng Ping's eldest brother.
He accidentally slapped Zheng Ping in the face. When Zheng Ping returned home, the slap mark on her face was still there. When her family asked her, they found out that he was the one who slapped her.
As soon as he arrived at the door, before he could say a word, he was beaten to death by Zheng Ping's eldest brother.
When Shu's father learned that it was Zheng Ping's elder brother who beat him, he immediately went to the police station to report the case.
"Is there still any law? I'm going to the police station to report the case and have them arrested."
"Dad..., please, please be quiet for a while, okay?
I hit someone's sister, and they hit me back on their behalf, which is understandable. Why should I call the police?" Shu Hong limped back to the bedroom.
Ten minutes later, he came out carrying a large cloth bag and walked straight out the door.
"Shu Hong, what are you doing? Where are you going with your things packed?" Shu's father called Shu Hong from behind.
Shu Hong sighed and said without looking back, "Dad, Zheng Ping is determined to divorce me."
"Just get a divorce. If you divorce Zheng Ping, you won't be able to find another woman with our family's conditions?" Shu's father said with dissatisfaction.
"Dad, you said it so lightly, why don't you ask my sister to divorce my brother-in-law?"
"Zheng Ping and I have been married for more than ten years, and our child is now in his teens. Except for my sister's affairs, we have never had a quarrel.
I'm divorced, so it's not difficult to find another one.
Given Zheng Ping's family background, it would not be difficult for her to remarry.
But how can I tolerate the son I have raised for more than ten years changing his surname to someone else's and calling someone else dad? "
