After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Chapter 685 Now things are really messed up, Fang Qing is back inside.

They were just furious that Fang Qing was fine while their son was imprisoned; how could that be?

But then again, even if Fang Qing were sent in as well, would her son be able to get out?

It seems like we can't get out either.

It would be better to keep Fang Qing at home to earn money for them; at least she could help raise their grandson.

But now... Fang Qing has gone in too.

Is there any point in pursuing this lawsuit?

“We don’t even know if Fang Qing will be able to get out. The two children are both without parents. How are they going to live?” Wang Zhong sighed and said to Jiang Mei, “Here’s what we’ll do: go and call Tang Xiaofen back.”

"Can she come back? She doesn't want to come back at all right now."

"That's because you treated her badly before. Go apologize to her and ask her to forgive you for the sake of the two children."

"What? I go and apologize to her? What mother-in-law apologizes to her daughter-in-law? Can she even accept that?"

Wang Zhong said, "What's the use of saying all this now? If we don't coax her back, how will we raise the children? We're old, and no one will hire us. Can we support two children with that little bit of alimony? Let's not even talk about Tang Xiaofen. Just the fact that she earns a hundred yuan a month is enough for you to coax her back."

Jiang Mei was extremely unwilling.

I thought to myself, if she bows her head now, wouldn't the daughter-in-law be riding on her head and defecating on her?

But Wang Zhong said, "Think about it, Jianguo was sentenced to ten years. By the time he gets out, he'll be in his thirties. In his thirties, with children and having been involved in a scandal, will he ever be able to get married? Without a wife, who will do the cooking and laundry? After we're gone, he'll be all alone. What will he do for the rest of his life?"

Jiang Mei took his last words to heart.

Her greatest pride is that she receives alimony, which is paid on time every month, and she also receives small gifts occasionally during holidays.

Which woman in the village could have that kind of money? Not to mention the women in the surrounding villages, not a single woman could have that kind of money.

This is a stable income, which is difficult even for men, let alone women.

Everyone around her envied her.

Therefore, she was always proud in front of her daughter-in-law who didn't earn money, always feeling superior and looking down on her daughter-in-law.

She acted like an empress dowager, and her daughter-in-law was just a maid.

Asking her to apologize to her daughter-in-law would be an insult to her.

But now, the old man is saying, what will happen to their son if they are no longer around?

A middle-aged man who has been to prison and has children will definitely not be able to find a wife.

He won't be able to get by without a woman to take care of him when he gets old, so for her son's sake, she still has to coax Tang Xiaofen back.

……

Tang Xiaofen and the others are on the early shift now; Jiang Mei arrived before dawn.

They had almost finished sweeping the streets, except for the one with the most people, which they needed to sweep for the leaders to see at dawn.

So right now, the two of them are sitting on the curb chatting.

Seeing Jiang Mei approaching, Sister Zhao nudged Tang Xiaofen and whispered, "Your mother-in-law is here."

The two then fell silent.

"Xiao Fen, your mother has come to take you home."

Tang Xiaofen glanced at her calmly and then looked away.

"That's not my home, and I can never have anything to do with you again."

"How can you say that you have no connection with the Wang family? You're the mother of two children, and you're a daughter-in-law of the Wang family."

"Not any time soon."

Jiang Mei's expression changed. "What do you mean?"

"I want to divorce Wang Jianguo."

"You..." She wanted to scold her, but remembering what the old man had said, she held back.

She softened her tone and said, "Xiaofang, I was wrong before, and I apologize to you. I promise you, once you go back, I will never say a harsh word to you again. If I dare to scold you again, may I die a horrible death."

She glanced at the broom beside her and said, "You can continue going to work. I'll help you take care of the two kids. I'll do all the housework from now on, so you can have a hot meal when you get home from work. What do you think?"

Tang Xiaofen said indifferently, "Not very good."

Jiang Mei: "Your mother has already said all this, why isn't it going to work out? So tell me, what are you planning to do?"

“I want to divorce Wang Jianguo. I can’t marry a convict, and I can’t live with someone who has been having an affair with his sister-in-law.”

Hearing this, Jiang Mei couldn't hold back any longer. "Pah! You think you're so high and mighty now? I just believed you didn't know before."

Yes, of course I know.

She will have to testify in the next lawsuit.

“Xiao Fen, how can a woman live without a man and a home? Don’t worry about what he was like in the past. The past is the past, and you can’t change it, right? We have to look to the future. Don’t worry, Jianguo knows he was wrong this time, and he will treat you well for the rest of his life. A woman can’t live without someone who cares about her.”

After listening to her rant, Tang Xiaofen simply said, "Say what you want, think what you want, I'm definitely getting a divorce."

Jiang Mei was a little embarrassed when she saw that the woman was unyielding.

After a moment, he chuckled twice, "Do you think you can just get married and divorced as you please? You want a divorce? Hmph, don't even think about it."

After saying that, Jiang Mei turned around and left angrily.

Sister Zhao spoke up only after she had walked away.

"Is this your mother-in-law? She has a mean face and doesn't look like a good person at all."

"Your man didn't even have an affair with Fang Qing, tsk tsk, he's even less of a good person. Divorce, divorce is the right thing to do."

"Things are different now than before; women can live just as well after a divorce."

"It's a hundred yuan a month, and the salary will increase every year. There are also gifts during the Spring Festival and holidays. You're not someone who likes to spend money recklessly, so you can work here with peace of mind. Don't worry, it can support you and your daughter."

"Sister Zhao, I understand. I will definitely get a divorce."

"Ah, that's right. More and more people are getting divorced these days, so no one will laugh at you."

While Sister Zhao continued her rambling, Tang Xiaofen had already picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor again.

Sister Zhao was very satisfied with her new partner.

She is diligent and efficient, far superior to Fang Qing.

When I partnered with Fang Qing before, I did most of the work myself.

Now, working with Tang Xiaofen, Tang Xiaofen does most of the work, and she feels like she's living a semi-retired life.

After get off work, Tang Xiaofen took a piece of paper with an address written on it, took the bus, and found the law firm.

This was introduced to her by Lin Yuyao a long time ago; she said he was a lawyer who specialized in divorce cases.

A friend of hers got divorced and hired this lawyer.

When she arrived at the destination, she realized that it was Attorney Nie.

I met him just the day before yesterday; he came about the case involving Wang Jianguo.

"Hello Attorney Nie, do you handle divorce cases?"

"Yes, Ms. Tang, you've come all this way. Mr. Lin has already told me about your situation. I was originally planning to discuss the divorce proceedings with you after your husband's case was over, but I didn't expect you to come here on your own."

She wasn't in such a hurry originally, but she was being harassed by Jiang Mei, so she wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Tang Xiaofen told Attorney Nie about her experience and thoughts.

Attorney Nie nodded and said, "I deeply sympathize with your situation and I understand your desire to resolve this matter as soon as possible. However, there is a waiting list for lawsuits, and with the Chinese New Year approaching, you probably won't be able to file this lawsuit before the end of the year."

Tang Xiaofen was taken aback and asked, "When will that be?"

"I need to consult the court; I suspect the waiting list is already open until March."

Tang Xiaofen only then realized that she had to wait in line to file a lawsuit.

Do city dwellers really argue so much every day?

They all end up in court.

"That's been too long," she muttered.

Attorney Nie said, "If you want things to go quickly, you have to talk to him. If he agrees to the divorce, they can get the divorce certificate on the same day."

Tang Xiaofen shook her head. "He won't agree."

"The normal divorce process is to try mediation first, and only if mediation fails will you go to court to file for divorce. You might as well take some time to talk to him first and see what he says, so that you can then apply for a divorce lawsuit."

"That's fine then, Attorney Nie, thank you."

"You're welcome."

He wrote down his phone number for her and said, "Call me if you need anything. I'll be going to Chenshan Town often, so you won't have to make the long trip."

Tang Xiaofen took the number. "Okay, thank you."

After returning home, Tang Xiaofen went to the police station again to apply to see Wang Jianguo as his spouse.

They told her to go home and wait, and come back to ask in a few days.

It's not easy to see Wang Jianguo these days.

Tang Xiaofen had to pick up her daughter from school in the afternoon.

The kindergarten will be closed for a few days, and the child will have to stay home alone.

Her daughter has always been sensible and can help with many things at such a young age, so she is quite at ease.

……

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and Fu Yatong has returned, heading to Nancheng as usual.

She had been wanting to visit her nephews for a long time, and now her wish has come true.

Lin Yuyao used to be the one to pick her up, but now that Lin Yuyao is in postpartum confinement, Fu Huaiyi is the one to pick her up.

She was alone this time, carrying two large suitcases, and had to ask airport staff for help to get them out.

Fu Huaiyi glanced at the two large boxes and asked, "You carried two large boxes back by yourself?"

"No way, I paid someone to carry it for me."

Fu Huaiyi looked around. "Just you?"

"Ah, what else?"

What happened to the friend who came back with you last year?

"He broke up with his girlfriend."

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

"You actually started talking to them?"

"Yes, we've already broken up." She said impatiently, "Ugh, don't mention him to me. Hurry up and get the suitcase to the car, I need to go back and see my nephew."

Fu Huaiyi lifted it, "What's so heavy?"

"Don't ask anymore, let's go back and talk about it. I can't wait."

Fu Huaiyi helped her carry her suitcases but was still urged to hurry up. Last year, he also carried back two extremely heavy suitcases.

One box contained gifts, and the other box contained her own things, including several sets of clothes and a bunch of bottles and jars.

He just couldn't understand why someone would bring back a huge bag of clothes when they had plenty of clothes at home.

As soon as she got out of the car, Fu Yatong rushed upstairs.

After Fu Huaiyi parked the car, he still had to help her carry the boxes.

The two large boxes were too heavy, so we had to carry them one by one.

Upon hearing the knocking on the door upstairs, Lin Yuyao told the nanny to quickly open it.

As soon as the door opened, Fu Yatong rushed in, before the nanny even had a chance to ask her any questions.

"Sister-in-law, where is my nephew?"

Lin Yuyao also came out of the house. "Yatong is back. Your nephew is sleeping inside."

"Let me see."

"This way."

The two children are usually cared for by a nanny and live in another room. They are only given milk to Lin Yuyao when they need it.

Fu Yatong saw two chubby-cheeked babies. "They're so tiny and cute, like toys. Can I touch them?"

"sure."

"But...they're asleep. If I wake them up, won't they cry?"

Lin Yuyao smiled faintly, "They sleep after they've eaten, and they don't cry. It's okay, go ahead and pet them."

"Wait a minute, I'm going to wash my hands."

She quickly went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and after washing them clean, she dried them with a towel before gently stroking the rosy little face.

Perhaps because her hands were a little cold, Xiao Bao moved uncomfortably, which startled Fu Yatong, who quickly withdrew her hand.

"So tender."

"A newborn baby is naturally tender."

She touched her face and said, "So this is what baby skin looks like. The difference is too big. Those skincare products sellers are liars."

Lin Yuyao laughed and said, "Those cosmetics sellers must be exaggerating, but the effect is quite good. Your skin is very well taken care of."

Fu Yatong smiled and said, "I bought some for you too, they're in the box."

Just then, Fu Huaiyi brought back the first box.

Fu Yatong quickly went over and said, "Thank you, big brother."

Fu Huaiyi rolled his eyes at her, then resignedly went to move the second one.

This box is full of gifts for them, including skincare products and perfumes for Lin Yuyao.

A designer dress and a handbag.

I also bought little clothes and hats for the two little ones.

However, she probably doesn't have a good grasp of children's body sizes, as the clothes she bought were quite large; they'll probably only fit a two-year-old.

There were also some items that I brought home, all packed in this big box.

Fu Huaiyi brought up another box, which was almost entirely filled with her personal belongings.

How long do you plan to stay this time?

"It's just a short holiday, I'll go back after the New Year."

Fu Huaiyi: "Will I be able to get my graduation certificate next year?"

"How could that be? My grades are just so-so, you know that. I'd be lucky if I could get in the year after next."

Fu Yatong bluntly stated that she was just there to get by.

There's no hope in the country, so it's good to get a degree abroad and then come back as a "returned overseas student".

However, Fu Yatong has a very clear understanding of herself and her family.

Given her family's circumstances, she doesn't need to rely on her own efforts to find a job and make a living.

Her parents had simple requirements for her. They didn't expect her to be very capable, but rather to get a decent degree so that they could show her off.

So occasionally you can hear the siblings arguing. Fu Huaiyi thinks she should try harder, but Fu Yatong thinks that since her parents are already working so hard, why should she try harder?

She was born to enjoy life, not to suffer, and often left Fu Huaiyi speechless.

Of course, this was before.

Now that she's in college, no matter how hard she tries, she can't change the fact that she didn't get into a domestic university.

He has accepted reality.

Fu Yatong stayed at their house for two days, but she got tired of playing with the children.

My brother is at work, and my sister-in-law is in postpartum confinement and doesn't go out. She's very bored.

They prepared to flee on the third day.
