"Ah, if Zhou Junyu never compromised, or didn't show up at all, and only his mother negotiated.
Then I would definitely get a divorce.
After all, marriage is not just about love, but more importantly, about two people supporting each other. Now I'm the only one making an effort, so why should I do it for him? I might as well do it for the child!"
If Zhou Junyu still looked the same as he did when he was in college, Ding Yun might have been willing to endure another year or two. But now, he had not only gained weight and developed a slight belly, but his hair was also starting to thin. His last remaining good qualities had vanished.
How could she be willing to continue enduring?
And the main reason the original body couldn't stand it any longer.
Was probably also due to the significant decline in his appearance.
Initially, her emotions fluctuated greatly during pregnancy, and then various other problems piled up. On top of that, looking at her husband, who was far less attractive than when they were dating, yet still as useless as ever and unable to help with anything.
With such extreme emotional fluctuations, not wanting to endure anymore.
Was actually quite understandable.
After all, certain words and actions said and done by "Little Li Zi" before he gained weight, and the same words and actions said and done by "Little Li Zi" after he gained weight, would have completely different effects.
Why is it that when some people say cheesy pickup lines or do silly things, they are considered handsome and cute, while others who say cheesy pickup lines and do silly things are only seen as cringey and foolish?
The difference is clearly on their faces, in their looks.
It's normal to be more lenient towards good-looking people.
It can even be considered a sort of human nature.
"Ah, since you're willing.
Then I have no objections. It's just that this divorce might not be as easy as you think. If you have a daughter, the divorce will likely be smoother. But if you have a son.
It will probably be very difficult to take your son with you in a divorce.
After all, your mother-in-law probably values her grandson a lot.
Most importantly...
Your mother-in-law doesn't seem like a reasonable person. Dealing with someone like her is the most troublesome."
Liu Zeguo paused at this point and continued:
"Besides that, I have an even bolder guess. It's possible that regardless of whether you have a son or a daughter, they might not agree to the divorce.
After all, regardless of whether you have a son or a daughter, it at least proves you can give birth. In this day and age, it's incredibly difficult to find someone like you who is willing to get married, get the certificate, and have children without asking for a dowry or a new house.
If the child is also yours after the divorce.
It will be very difficult for their family to find another easy mark like you, perhaps even impossible.
In this case, it will definitely be difficult for you to get a divorce.
The probability of a peaceful divorce is even more negligible.
Moreover, there are now policies like the divorce cooling-off period. So, we need to plan carefully, gather more evidence, and be prepared that it might not be resolvable in the short term. We even need to be prepared for that Lin Guihua to be shameless, unreasonable, and troublesome."
Although Liu Zeguo's words were harsh, they were indeed facts, and his deductions were reasonable. Therefore, Ding Yun could only tacitly accept her father's evaluation of her as an "easy mark."
She pretended not to hear and was too lazy to argue.
"Ah, why did you marry...
Ah, forget it. It's no use saying more now. How about this, Xiao Yu, you don't need to worry about this matter. Just go to work normally, take care of your pregnancy, watch TV, watch variety shows. In short, just don't worry about this.
Try to stay in a good mood.
Your father and I will figure out the divorce."
Huang Pinjuan also felt that her husband was right. Judging by Lin Guihua's shameless behavior today, the probability of her refusing the divorce and causing countless complications was at least eighty to ninety percent.
She had initially wanted to scold her daughter.
But when she saw her daughter frowning with worry, she finally managed to hold back her scolding. Instead, out of concern that her daughter might worry too much, affecting the fetus and her own health.
She began to actively comfort Ding Yun.
And took full responsibility for the matter.
Ding Yun, on the other hand, took her mother's hand and began to comfort her mother instead:
"Mom, and Dad, don't worry.
I'm not as fragile as you think, and I'm not in a hurry to get a divorce. We can take our time. At worst, we can live separately for two or three years. It will definitely be resolved.
Besides, no matter what Zhou Junyu and his mother do, they won't dare to kill anyone. It will just take more time. I'm still young, and I can afford to wait."
After that, Ding Yun explained in detail to her father and mother the current divorce policies, conditions, and requirements. She even explained her divorce plan to reassure them.
Only then did the emotions of their family of three begin to ease.
Their hearts were not as worried as before.
However, the feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction still lingered.
But this was also unavoidable. Who wouldn't be frustrated and dissatisfied when their family encountered such a situation?
...
On the other side, Lin Guihua, who had been chased away and expelled from the community, was even more furious than Ding Yun and the others.
Because she also felt she was in the right, yet she was the one who was driven out, driven out by her daughter-in-law. How absurd, how embarrassing, and how outrageous!
This was such great filial impiety.
A hundred years ago, she would have deserved a severe beating.
But under the threat of the security guard that they would call the police if she didn't leave, Lin Guihua could only leave indignantly, suppressing her anger.
She didn't go home directly.
Instead, she went to her son's place first.
As soon as she entered the house, she began to complain to her son, Zhou Junyu, about how unreasonable his wife was. Marrying such a daughter-in-law was truly an eighteen-generation misfortune for their Zhou family. Besides that, she also instructed her son not to bring his wife back.
And declared that she would handle this matter.
If she couldn't get this daughter-in-law under control.
She wouldn't be a worthy mother-in-law.
To this, Zhou Junyu basically heard it with one ear and let it out the other. Because what was on his mind was the voice message with text requirements that Ding Yun had just sent him.
And the threat of divorce if he didn't agree.
So, after his mother complained for a while.
He played the voice content Ding Yun had sent him for his mother to hear, and asked:
"Mom, does she mean that if I don't agree to her demands, she'll divorce me?
But why?
Did you learn anything about the situation when you went there today?
Didn't she always do the housework over the years? Besides, shouldn't women do these things? What is Liu Xiaoyu upset about?
Also, if she divorces me.
Will she investigate the properties under my name...
And claim ownership of my house?"
