Yu Wensu saw that Yao Shimin didn’t stop at all, and now she was anxious.
"Yao Shimin, stop, make it clear."
"Right now, as long as I don’t report you, you’re fine; it’s just that you have to co here periodically to report." Yao Shimin said without turning back, calmly.
Yu Wensu gritted her teeth, "Fine, I agree to the divorce. Let’s get it right away, I’m truly fed up with you. You’re useless everywhere, and I still haven’t gotten pregnant till now."
Yao Shimin looked at the hostile Yu Wensu and smiled with relief, "What does your not getting pregnant have to do with ? You’ve been with Sun Wenqing every night now and still aren’t pregnant, right?"
Yu Wensu was stunned, indeed, she had been with Sun Wenqing for more than two years, why hadn’t she gotten pregnant?
Seeing the stunned Yu Wensu, "Then just wait for here, I’ll go find the civil affairs office staff."
Half an hour later, Yao Shimin held the divorce certificate in his hand, smiling with relief, he was single again.
He pocketed the divorce certificate and decided to make a trip to the Yu Family. No matter what, he had to inform them.
When he arrived at the Yu Family, the old couple was at ho. They were already retired. Yu Wensu was their youngest child, with her eldest sister being twelve years older than her.
"Shimin, why did you co alone? After so long, why didn’t that girl take leave to accompany you at ho?" Yu’s mother pulled Yao Shimin’s hand and led him inside, mumbling away.
"Did Shimin co? Hurry up and buy so groceries." Since the son-in-law was here, Yu’s father was quite pleased too.
"I’ve divorced Yu Wensu."
The two elders stared at Yao Shimin in shock.
"Shimin, what did you say?" Yu’s mother asked in disbelief.
"I’ve divorced Yu Wensu. She has been with another man for two years, and recently she hasn’t been ho for over two months. She called saying she wanted a divorce; that’s why I rushed back.
Last night, I caught them red-handed together.
Now the two of them are still there, well, take care of yourselves." After saying this, Yao Shimin turned around and left swiftly.
It took Yu’s parents a mont after Yao Shimin left to react.
"Old man, we must go see." Yu’s mother cried.
"Ah! What a misfortune for the family, let’s go, take a look."
He was puzzled, why did the son-in-law co looking for his daughter in the middle of the night, turns out it’s because of this? How could she be so lacking in self-respect?
The old couple hurriedly packed so food and rushed out anxiously.
They were just ordinary workers, with no acquaintance here, speaking all the good words they could.
Just then, Brother Yong ca over, "What’s happening?"
"Brother Yong, these two elders want to see Yu Wensu."
"Who are you two?"
"We are Yu Wensu’s parents. We just heard she’s here, ca to see her and brought so food." Yu’s father said cautiously.
"Comrade, please do us a favor, let us see her." Yu’s mother pleaded, crying.
"Alright, I’ll take you to see her. But the food can’t be given to her, that’s the rule."
Brother Yong led them inside, "Can you read?"
The old couple nodded.
"Then take a look at their records. It’s really speechless." If it weren’t for compassion for the two old folks, Brother Yong wouldn’t have said a word.
The couple exchanged looks and read the records, leaving them trembling with anger.
"Don’t be mad, I’ll take you to see Yu Wensu. She can return a week later, but she can’t leave, she has to report here every month if any activities arise."
The two elders hung their heads in sha, unable to lift them.
Yu Wensu was brought out, and seeing her parents, she rushed over and hugged them, wailing.
Yu’s mother pushed her away and slapped her hard.
"Mom?"
"Shaless thing, how could you do such a thing? If you didn’t want to, you shouldn’t have married. Back then, I asked you, what did you say, you said you didn’t mind Shimin being away.
Shimin wanted you to go live with him, you didn’t go, then why didn’t you just get divorced? That way, it wouldn’t have brought disgrace."
"Do you think I didn’t want to divorce? It was Sun Wenqing who wouldn’t let ." Yu Wensu cried and shouted.
Yu’s mother, furious, almost fainted, being held by Yu’s father.
"Don’t get mad, she’s already like this, anger won’t help. Let’s go, let’s just pretend we don’t have this daughter in the future."
"Old man, I spoiled her." Said Yu’s mother, crying out loud.
"Dad, how can you do this? You’re all forcing ?"
"It’s because you don’t respect yourself, you’re a married woman."
With that, Yu’s father supported his old wife and left. Hearing their daughter’s cries behind them, he felt heartache too.
The elderly couple sat outside on the bench for quite so ti before Yu’s mother recovered.
"Old man, let’s make a trip to the Yao Family, we owe them an apology for raising such a daughter, for causing such trouble."
Yu’s father nodded, "Let’s go in the evening instead, everyone’s at work now."
Lacking any energy, the old couple shakily went back ho.
At ho, they both lay down, fearing future implications for the family’s granddaughter and grandson, it was truly painful.
The daughter-in-law didn’t know yet; if she finds out, expecting them to take care of Wen Su in the future would be impossible.
The old couple didn’t eat, they lay on the bed, troubled. Though they spoke angrily, saying they’ll pretend there’s no daughter, but that’s just anger talking.
Yao Shimin left the Yu Family and went to the post office to call Qian Jun.
"I’m taking the train back in three days."
"Everything’s sorted now."
Yao Shimin smiled, "Yeah, divorced. Alright, I’m hanging up now."
He went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought eggs, there was no at.
After putting things back ho, he fetched the food tickets and went to the grain station to buy sorghum rice, sorghum rice, white flour, and millet.
Knowing the couple wouldn’t return ho for lunch, Yao Shimin cleaned the house inside out. Not being around the elders, he would do all he could to make up for it.
Initially wanting to make dumplings, but not knowing how to make such labor-intensive food, he decided to knead dough to make noodles instead.
When the couple returned, seeing the bright windows, they smiled knowingly, as long as their son was fine, they were content.
"Mom, Dad, let’s eat, the noodles I rolled out, it’s just the sauce that’s average, not done well."
"It’s already great, better than your father; he can’t do anything."
"I know how to make congee."
"Shimin, aren’t you eating?"
"Mom, I’m eating out today; with so many people helping last night, I can’t just let it go like that. I’m inviting them for drinks, don’t worry about ."
"Alright, just don’t drink too much," Father Yao advised his son.
"Got it." At his age, still having the elders looking after him was quite nice.
