Chapter 32

“It’s Qian Fu.”

Everyone in the house heard the voice.

Ye Jianguo’s face was cold. “Since you’re here, why are you shouting outside instead of coming in? Let him in!”

Of all the children in the Ye family, the one they feared the most was Ye Jianguo. He had been a soldier and held a gun, and when he disciplined children, he didn’t just scare them, he actually hit them.

Qian Fu walked in. When he saw the people in the room, his courage vanished.

“Dad, Second Uncle, you’re here too!”

Ye Jianye wanted to go up and slap him a few times. “Who’s your dad? Don’t call me that.”

Hearing this, Qian Fu relaxed.

He said confidently, “Anyway, I’m here to divorce Ye Lian today. She’s the one who brought it up first. It’s not my fault.”

Ye Jianguo: “If you can’t stand it, get a divorce. No one will say you’re wrong. But you shouldn’t hit people. And now you’re in a hurry to get a divorce. Do you think our Ye family is easy to bully?”

Qian Fu scratched his head in annoyance. “What do you mean? You don’t want to get a divorce anymore?”

Ye Jianguo glared at him. “We’re definitely getting a divorce, but how we get divorced is up to us.”

Qian Fu looked around the room. “Where’s Ye Lian? Let her come out.”

Ye Lian and her two children were in the west room.

Ye Xiaoxiao saw that the two children were too scared to speak after hearing Qian Fu’s voice.

The younger one was tightly holding her mother’s hand and wouldn’t let go.

There was no need to ask. If Ye Lian got a divorce, she would definitely take the children with her. They couldn’t stay at the Qian family’s.

Ye Lian heard Qian Fu calling her and stood up. She said to her two children, “Stay in the room. Mom is going out to talk for a bit.”

“Mom, don’t leave me.” Qian Yunduang whimpered like a kitten.

Ye Lian’s voice was firm, something she hadn’t had before. “Mom won’t leave you.”

Ye Lian walked out of the room. “Qian Fu, we can get a divorce. The two children belong to me. Don’t even think about the demands you made before. You have to write a guarantee. After the divorce, you have nothing to do with the two children. You’re not involved in any future weddings or funerals.”

A few days ago, Ye Lian was in a hurry to get a divorce, but now that his lover was pregnant, Qian Fu was the one in a hurry.

Sensing Qian Fu’s thoughts, Ye Lian wouldn’t miss this opportunity to negotiate.

Seeing that Qian Fu didn’t say anything, Ye Lian continued, “I’ve worked hard for you at your house all these years. Even if we get a divorce, you should give me money. I don’t want much, just fifty yuan as child support.”

Hearing that Ye Lian was going to ask for money, Qian Fu’s anger overwhelmed his fear of the elders. He roared, “You have the nerve to ask me for money? You married into our family and couldn’t even give birth to a son. What use are you?”

“Qian Fu, having a child is a two-person affair. Why are you blaming my sister?”

Ye Changyuan pushed Qian Fu, who was about to charge forward.

Qian Fu: “Ye Lian! Give me a definite answer. Are we getting a divorce or not? The children can be yours, but forget about the money!”

Ye Lian didn’t really want money. The reason she asked for it was because she knew Qian Fu’s bad character.

Only by making more outrageous demands and giving him room to bargain could she get a divorce smoothly.

Ye Lian was very calm. She took out two pieces of paper. “Okay, I’ve written the guarantee. Sign it. After you sign, we’ll go get a divorce certificate.”

Qian Fu took the guarantee. Seeing that it didn’t mention money, he immediately signed it.

Ye Lian put the guarantee away. This was her last guarantee for her children.

Divorce was still quite easy in this era. You just had to go to the relevant department and sign a document, and you’d get a divorce certificate.

It only took an hour for Ye Lian and Qian Fu to go from husband and wife to strangers.

They were also the first couple to get a divorce in recent years, so the staff was very efficient.

After receiving the divorce certificate, Qian Fu left without looking back.

Ye Lian carefully read the words on the certificate. So… getting a divorce was that simple.

The Qian family didn’t have much of Ye Lian’s and her two children’s belongings.

After the smooth divorce, the Ye family didn’t want Ye Lian to go back to the Qian family.

Li Guilan hugged her daughter. “Come on, Mom will take you and the children to get some new clothes. From now on, we’ll never have anything to do with that scumbag again.”

Ye Lian was overjoyed and cried. “Thank you, Mom.”

Li Guilan: “Why are you being polite with your own family?”

The elders didn’t notice that Ye Xiaoxiao and her siblings were huddled together behind them, talking.

Ye Changyuan: “I didn’t expect that Qian Fu was so easy to fool. What are we going to do next?”

Ye Xiaoxiao blinked. “Of course, we’re going to crush his dreams. That widow took the money, so she has to play the part.”

Ye Changjun nodded. “Then I’ll go find my friend now and tell him to start acting.”

…

On the other side, Qian Fu was holding the divorce certificate and couldn’t wait to go find the widow.

“Juan’er, I’m divorced!”

Juanzi took the stamped divorce certificate and teased, “I didn’t expect you to be so quick.”

Qian Fu laughed. “Of course. Juan’er, when are you going to marry me?”

“What’s the hurry? It’s a good day today. Let’s have a drink.”

Juanzi went to the outer room and brought in a plate of peanuts and a bottle of wine. The two of them sat on the kang and drank.

Qian Fu became increasingly immersed in the warmth, and he drank several cups.

Qian Fu slurred, “Juan’er, let’s kiss…”

Juanzi saw his drunken state and smiled coquettishly. Before she could speak, a voice came from outside the door.

“Is Qian Fu here? Come out and play!”

Qian Fu recognized the voice. It was someone who gambled with him. He instantly got addicted.

Good things always come in pairs. He should have good luck today.

“Juan’er, I’ll come back to see you tonight. I have something to do.”

Qian Fu was about to stumble off the kang.

Juanzi grabbed him. “I don’t know your place. Let me go with you and take a look.”

Qian Fu: “It’s all men. What are you, a pregnant woman, doing there?”

Juanzi grabbed his ear. “How… you don’t like me!”

“No, no, let’s go together.”

Qian Fu took Juanzi to the place where they usually gambled.

The place was hidden, with front and back gates, making it easy to escape.

When they entered the room, there were already four or five people inside. Qian Fu rubbed his hands together and joined the game.

He had good luck today. He won three hands in a row.

In the middle of the game, someone suddenly said he had a stomachache and had to go to the bathroom.

Qian Fu shouted, “He’s not afraid of losing money and running away, is he?”

“What are you thinking? Come back and keep playing.”

“You can run away, but you can’t escape the temple. What are you afraid of!”

They left the room one after another.

Qian Fu was in a state of euphoria. He had won enough to make a few dozen yuan in the past few hands. This was luck he hadn’t had before.

So he didn’t notice that in the blink of an eye, only he and the widow were left in the room.

Bang!

The door was kicked open, and several policemen in uniform stormed in.

The cold wind that rushed in sobered Qian Fu up a bit. He saw that the police were catching gamblers.

“Don’t move!”

The police rushed in and pinned people down.

Someone moved the widow, and she suddenly clutched her stomach and fell to the ground.

“My stomach… my stomach.”

Juanzi looked painful.

The policeman who was catching them was a little confused. He hadn’t done anything.

Qian Fu’s eyes turned red. “You dare touch my son? I’ll kill you!”

Qian Fu used all his strength, flipped over the person who was pressing him down, picked up a stool on the ground, and smashed it towards a policeman’s head.

“Ah! It’s blood… he’s bleeding…”
