Chapter 4 – Bam! Starting out as a mother. How exciting! (4)
Their family did a great job brainwashing them. Both the original owner and her second sister wholeheartedly sacrificed themselves for their family and their brothers. All in all, the original owner had given quite some money to her parents.
This wasn’t the first time the scum had an affair, as Shu Yan had learned in shock.
Ye Zhiqiang already had an affair when the original owner was pregnant with Ye Tianbao. Back then, the original owner cried and fuzzed, and it was her own mother who came to tell her to overlook that. More or less what she meant to say was that Ye Zhiqiang was a somewhat successful man, and all successful men have women beside their wives. So, as a wife she needed to learn to overlook these things. What was unbelievable was that the original owner had agreed to it. She only tried to commit suicide this time because the scum of a man insisted of getting a divorce.
From the original owner’s perspective, one listens to her father when she was single and her husband after she gets married. Ye Zhiqiang was her entire world. And now that her world was crumbling around her, she could no longer live.
Shu Yan was shocked by her way of thinking. This was already 1992, these types of values still existed?!
There was no way that Shu Yan would agree with this type of value. Before she organized her memories, she figured that the original owner’s parents were probably more or less the same as her own. But now that she knew that was how her parents were like, Shu Yan felt that it would be very difficult for her to be genuinely nice to them. She wouldn’t sacrifice herself for her brothers. They were all grown and had their own families; they should learn to be independent.
But, as she had promised original owner to take care of her parents, she wouldn’t just completely ignore them. In the future, when they were sick and needed to go to the hospital, she would help out. When they were old and needed to be taken care of, the cost would be shared between the 5 siblings. The relationship between parents and their children should be a two-way street. The original owner’s parents only viewed her as an ATM. The original owner was foolish, but she wasn’t.
Luckily, the original owner never told her family that Ye Zhiqiang wanted to have a divorce. It was best that they didn’t know about it. They would never agree to it, and there would be too much drama. The original owner didn’t want to get a divorce, but Shu Yan very much wanted one.
The original owner had never worked a day after she married Ye Zhiqiang. Prior to that, she had been raising the kids and taking care of the farm back in the village and only moved in with Ye Zhiqiang a year ago. She only knew that he was a contractor of sort, but she knew nothing more beyond that.
Ye Zhiqiang was rich and had a lot of ties, that put Shu Yan at a disadvantage.
Shu Yan threw away the empty bottle in her hand and picked up the document. It was the divorce agreement.
It was all in legal mumbo jumbo but it boiled down to three points:
The house would go to her, the car to Ye Zhiqiang;
All the savings would go to her;
The two children would also go to her.
How much liquid money would a contract have? These were the times when cars were more expensive than houses. Ye Zhiqiang thought he could easily get rid of his wife and kids and live a happy life with his lover?
In. His. Dreams!!!
