Chapter 1 Divorce
"Look at how dirty and sloppy you are, why do you have the nerve to enter this house?"
As soon as Li Xian came back from the construction site, his mother-in-law Xie Fangling caught him. She stared at his cement-stained work shoes and jeans with disdain.
"I told you, you are not allowed to enter the house until it is cleaned. If you soil the carpet imported from France, see how I will clean it up for you!"
Carpets imported from France?
Li Xian twitched the corner of his mouth. A small shop boasted a few words casually and took it as the truth. He was clearly being taken advantage of and didn't even know it.
"Mom, the water pipes are being inspected today, and the water outside is stopped. Let me go in and wash it first." He explained softly. Even with the arrival of spring, the temperature in the coastal area is still only about ten degrees.
"The water has stopped, don't you know how to go to the river or the sea?"
"It's such a cold day..."
"I don't care about you!" Xie Fangling interrupted him. She smelled the smell of cement coming from him and covered her nose: "Go, go, get out!"
"Mom, what's wrong?" A woman came down the stairs.
She is about twenty years old, with a delicate, graceful and pure face, skin as white as snow, and long, straight black hair.
Wearing a black turtleneck sweater with uneven shape; a pair of black stockings and a short skirt, and long and slender legs.
When Li Xian saw her, a trace of imperceptible inferiority flashed in his eyes. In front of the dazzling woman, he was nothing.
"Qing Huan, why are you down here?" Xie Fangling glanced sideways at Li Xian and came to her daughter with a smile on her face. "You are not in good health. Go upstairs and rest quickly."
"I heard what you were talking about, so I came down to take a look." Chen Qinghuan looked at Li Xian, but then looked away again.
Although they are husband and wife, they are not familiar with each other at all and have only spoken very rarely in the past six months.
"You don't have to worry about this little thing." Xie Fangling found that Li Xian was still standing at the door and shouted dissatisfied: "Why are you still standing at the door? Didn't you hear what I just said? Look at what time it is, why don't you get out and change?
Wear clothes and come back to cook?"
"Why was I blind in the first place? It's so embarrassing to find a bricklayer for Qing Huan!"
Li Xian pursed his lips, yes, he is a bricklayer.
A year ago, he found a good job after graduating from college.
However, my father had an accident on a construction site and his brain was damaged, leaving him in a coma.
The construction site shirked its responsibility and only took out 60,000 yuan to settle the matter.
Even if he sues, it will take a lot of time. During this period, my father will need money every day for medical treatment.
In order to earn expensive treatment and nursing fees, he had to move bricks on construction sites. He could earn at least 500 yuan a day, which was faster than working in a company.
My only regret is that I lost my major and have no room for advancement in the future.
Half a year ago, the Chen family was recruiting a son-in-law to protect Chen Qinghuan from disasters. As long as the horoscope matched with Chen Qinghuan's, they would get 100,000 yuan, divided into two installments.
At that time, my father's illness became serious, and the construction site owed wages, so he was forced to come to take the exam. Who knew that eight
The words really matched, and I finally got married to Chen Qinghuan.
The marriage period is one year. After one year, he must divorce Chen Qinghuan.
Now in the past six months, Chen Qinghuan's disaster has not come, but he spends every day being scolded by his mother-in-law.
In order to get the remaining 50,000 yuan, he endured.
But recently, Xie Fangling's words were getting more and more unpleasant, and he almost couldn't bear it anymore.
Li Xian hesitated for a moment, then realized that Xie Fangling was not paying attention to him, so he opened the door and walked in directly.
After a busy day outside, I have to cook, wash and clean for them when I come back, and sometimes I have to bring them foot-washing water.
I can only sleep four hours a day, and even my iron-clad body cannot bear such torture.
Just once or twice, that’s it every day, who can stand it?
I want to go home to take a shower and change clothes, but I’m not allowed to do so. It’s really bullying!
"Stop!" Seeing that he was disobedient and dared to resist, Xie Fangling shouted angrily: "You trash, rubbish, country bumpkin, who allowed you to come in? Get out of here quickly!"
"I'll come back and take a shower, and I'll go out in a while." Li Xian stopped and replied in a low voice.
"I can't say it's true!" Xie Fangling took a wooden stick and hit him unceremoniously, "Get out! Get out!"
Li Xian was hit hard and his arm hurt.
After being suppressed for a long time, he broke out and grabbed the wooden stick, "Don't go too far!"
"Am I going too far?" Xie Fangling shouted, pointing to the carpet stained with cement dust, "Look at the scum that fell from your body and soiled my carpet. Can you afford to pay for it?"
Li Xian turned his head and looked at the carpet. It was indeed stained with some cement dust and there were footprints on it, which affected the aesthetics.
He pursed his lips, and just when he was about to exit, a red teddy ran in. The teddy raised its head and shook its body, leaving tree leaves on the ground.
"Hey, my little darling, you're back so soon, why don't you play outside for a little longer?" Xie Fangling, who had been showing off her power just now, immediately changed her expression when she saw Teddy, squatted down and hugged her into her arms,
The tone is friendly.
Looking at the footprints and rotten leaves left by Teddy on the carpet and floor, Li Xian's rising sense of guilt disappeared.
In this home, he cooks the rice, washes the dishes, and sweeps the floor. What is there that he doesn’t do?
But Xie Fangling disliked him again and again, even worse than a pet dog at home.
He gritted his teeth, ignored Xie Fangling's words, strode into the bathroom on the first floor, and slammed the door.
"It's amazing! It's amazing!" Xie Fangling found out that Li Xian didn't listen to her arrangement. She was so angry that she carried the dog to the bathroom and kept banging on the door: "Li Xian, open the door! Hurry up and open the door for me! Who?
Are you allowed to come in? Get out of here quickly!"
"Mom, stop knocking." Chen Qinghuan spoke softly. He came to her and whispered softly: "Don't be angry. If you have anything to say, wait until he comes out to say it. It won't be good if you get angry."
Xie Fangling was furious and replied
Go to the living room and sit down on the sofa, staring in the direction of the bathroom.
Wait until you come out and see how I deal with you!
Twenty minutes later, Li Xian changed into clean clothes and came out. He heard Xie Fangling's accusation: "It took twenty minutes to take a bath. Don't you know you wasted water? I will add five hundred yuan to your living expenses this month, giving me a total of two thousand yuan."
Five, or you will get out of this house!"
Li Xian has had enough of her unreasonable troubles, and the clay figurine also has a bad temper. He doesn't want to tolerate it anymore!
"That's what you said!"
"If I leave this house today, unless you beg me, don't expect me to come back!"
"Yo? What a big tone? Who do you think you are? Do you want me to beg you?" Xie Fangling didn't expect that he would dare to threaten her, and she was furious.
In the past six months, nothing happened to Qing Huan. She must have been deceived by Master Qing Deng.
All disasters and disaster prevention are all lies!
I wanted to drive Li Xian away for a long time, but I never had an excuse, but now I dare to contradict myself!
She stretched out her hand and pointed outside: "Pack your things and get out! Get as far away as you can!"
"Don't even think about asking me for the remaining fifty thousand yuan!"
Li Xian looked at Chen Qinghuan and wanted to know what she thought.
Chen Qinghuan noticed his gaze and turned her head to avoid his gaze as if she was frightened.
With just one glance, he understood.
There is no need to stay in this home any longer!
The 50,000 yuan we received lasted exactly half a year, and we didn't owe each other anything.
Without hesitation, I returned to the small compartment in the stairwell to pack my things.
"You are not allowed to take away anything from our house. If I find out, I will call the police."
Li Xian had very few things, only a few pieces of clothing, stuffed into his bag.
After packing up my things, I walked to the door and was stopped again by Xie Fangling.
Xie Fangling spread her hands and said, "Your living expenses for this month have not been paid to me yet. Including the water and electricity bills just now, the total is 2,500."
"Don't go too far. I have no money." He spent all his money on the hospital and only had a few hundred yuan left.
"No money? You still want to leave without money?"
Li Xian asked back: "Then I will continue to stay and pay back the money?"
"You..." Xie Fangling was so choked that she couldn't speak. She didn't want Li Xian to stay at home more than money. It was simply a stain on their family.
"Okay, as long as you get out of the house, I will treat this little money as a beggar, so get out of here!"
"Woof woof woof!"
The bullying Teddy kept barking at him.
Damn you bitch, even you bullied me.
"Shut up! If you ask me to kill you again!" Li Xian growled, causing the dog to growl in fright.
He pushed Xie Fangling away and strode outside.
Xie Fangling's voice came from behind, "Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and Qing Huan to go through the divorce procedures at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!"
