Chapter 2: Su Xiaohua: If This Is My Fate, Then I Accept It!

Just as the performance was about to begin, someone arrived outside!

“Yunyun, are you home? Open the door quickly!”

“…”

Su Lüyun immediately knew who it was. It was her mom.

She had to compose herself, though her eyes were still slightly red when she opened the door.

Wang Guifen, of course, saw at a glance that her daughter was deeply wronged. She took her daughter’s hand and asked, “Your cousin rushed over and said Changdong was carried back, and he’s a vegetable?”

Her maternal home wasn’t very far from her in-laws’ home, just one on the east side of the city and the other on the west. But there was a bus, so it took an hour to get there.

But that wasn’t the point. The point was that the paper character’s mother looked exactly like her own mother!

From her memory, she knew her father, her eldest brother, and her second brother also looked the same, and their personalities were identical!

After all, her cousin had written the novel directly based on her family members!

So, Su Lüyun’s sense of immersion was incredibly strong; she felt no discomfort at all.

She just assumed her whole family had transmigrated, except that unlike her, who had awakened her memories, her family hadn’t!

After briefly composing herself, Su Lüyun began her performance.

She pressed her temples, not speaking, just leading her mother into the room to see Zhou Changdong.

“Where are your in-laws? Changdong is like this, why aren’t they here?” Wang Guifen asked, her heart sinking when she saw her son-in-law.

“They just left a little while ago,” Su Lüyun said.

With their youngest son brought back in such a state, how could the Zhou family not react?

Her mother-in-law had fainted on the spot and had to be revived by pressing her philtrum. Neighbors also helped call for people.

Her father-in-law, Zhou Quansheng, who was still at work, as well as Zhou Changdong’s elder brother and his second brother, who was currently in college, were all called back.

After the whole family had seen him, they all returned to the old house to discuss a solution.

“What did the comrades who brought Changdong back say? Can he be cured?”

“They said if he’s well taken care of, there’s still a chance he’ll wake up!” But any fool would know what that meant.

Wang Guifen was also an experienced person; how could she not know these were just polite words?

Originally, she had hoped this son-in-law would be successful and give her daughter a good life. For this, even though her daughter had waited three years and complained a lot, she had told her daughter to be patient, that there would be a day when the clouds would part and the moon would shine!

But unexpectedly, her son-in-law returned in this condition!

But things were already like this, so Wang Guifen said without hesitation, “Get a divorce!”

If her son-in-law could recover, she would be willing to let her daughter serve him. After all, the reputation of divorce wasn’t good in those days, and unless absolutely necessary, who would get divorced?

But given her son-in-law’s condition, there seemed to be no hope!

But her own daughter was still so young; how could she sacrifice her daughter’s entire life?

So, divorce!

“Divorce?”

Su Lüyun seemed to be shocked by her mother.

Wang Guifen had already heard the situation from her niece, who had rushed over to deliver the news, before she even arrived. So, she had already thought everything through on the way!

“We only symbolically accepted a little bit of the bride price back then. It’s just that your expenses have been a bit high these past three years since you got married, but it doesn’t matter. Our family can return it all to the Zhou family, not taking any advantage of them!”

She originally thought her daughter would quickly pack her things and leave with her, but Su Lüyun didn’t follow the script: “What? Mom, you actually want me to divorce him?”

Wang Guifen was stunned for a moment, then asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t want to divorce?”

She had given birth to her daughter; how could she not know what kind of person she was?

Seeing her son-in-law brought back in this state, her daughter must feel like the sky had fallen and was probably waiting for her to come and pick her up.

Su Lüyun, uncharacteristically, didn’t care if her persona would collapse. She cried and said, “How can this be? How can this be?”

Wang Guifen looked utterly confused, wondering what kind of act this was.

Her next sentence almost made Wang Guifen’s jaw drop!

Su Lüyun directly threw herself onto Zhou Changdong, crying, “I won’t divorce! I won’t divorce Changdong!”

Zhou Changdong, who had been unresponsive, immediately had a line of text appear on his forehead: [She actually doesn’t want to divorce?!]

The question mark indicated his incomprehension. He was in this state, and she still didn’t want a divorce?

The exclamation mark meant a bit of astonishment. Could it be that this wife truly had feelings for him? Was she not just treating him as a meal ticket?

Su Lüyun, while whimpering, glanced over and knew she had guessed correctly. Although he was in a coma, his consciousness was clear!

Wang Guifen was utterly stunned, okay?

Her first reaction was to feel her daughter’s forehead, checking if she had a fever that damaged her brain.

“Mom, what are you doing!”

“I’m checking if you’re possessed by something unclean!” Wang Guifen said, scrutinizing her.

Su Lüyun: “…” She wore an exasperated expression.

Wang Guifen just mumbled a complaint. Didn’t she know her own daughter?

This affected and overly dramatic posture, most people couldn’t pull it off!

Wang Guifen wanted to say something.

But Su Lüyun beat her to it: “Mom, you don’t need to say anything. I won’t leave Changdong. Since I’ve married him, I am Changdong’s woman!”

“I’ll follow my husband wherever he goes, like a chicken follows a chicken, or a dog follows a dog!”

“If this is my fate, then I accept it!”

“…”

After speaking, the drama queen continued to throw herself onto the man, whimpering.

On Zhou Changdong’s forehead, there was only one line of text: [She’s actually so devoted?!]

Su Lüyun, peeking at it, was very satisfied: Of course, I’m very steadfast.

Wang Guifen was truly dumbfounded!

“What on earth are you talking about…” She wanted to pull her daughter aside and ask her properly what was going on.

It was as if she had changed into a completely different person!

And “like a chicken follows a chicken, or a dog follows a dog, if this is my fate, then I accept it”?

What kind of melodramatic play was this?

But before she could finish speaking, people arrived from outside.

It was the Zhou family: her father-in-law, Zhou Quansheng, and mother-in-law, Chen Aihong.

Also, Zhou Changdong’s eldest brother, Zhou Changping, second brother, Zhou Changan, and their wives, He Yuling (elder sister-in-law) and Lin Fang (second sister-in-law), all came.

As soon as they heard the neighbor say that their in-law, Wang Guifen, had arrived, they all came over immediately.

They all knew that the Old Su family was very likely coming to arrange a divorce.

The Old Zhou family had no reason to keep someone else’s daughter, so if she wanted a divorce, that was fine!

However, the Old Zhou family would not offer any compensation!

The third son’s demobilization pay and compensation, as well as the past three years’ wages—any money his comrades brought back this time—must all be left behind, every single cent!

As for the expenses of these past three years, the Old Zhou family could forgo them.

After all, they had delayed her for three years!

Wang Guifen’s expression remained unchanged when she saw them approach.

Although she was alone—her husband and two sons were at work, and she hadn’t had time to notify them—Wang Guifen wasn’t intimidated at all!

Moreover, she believed that the Old Zhou family wasn’t the type to be difficult; they both understood each other’s difficulties!

So, as soon as they arrived, Wang Guifen sighed and said, “Dear in-laws, I am deeply sorry about Changdong’s current situation…”

Hearing Wang Guifen’s tone, the Zhou family members understood.

Zhou Quansheng, Zhou Changping, and Zhou Changan, the father and two sons, remained silent.

But Chen Aihong’s face darkened, while He Yuling and Lin Fang, the sisters-in-law, wore expressions of mockery and indifference, respectively.

Wang Guifen saw their expressions but didn’t care at all.

There was no need to hide anything; she directly expressed her wish for a divorce, citing her daughter’s youth.

“Auntie, you really turn your back on people, don’t you? They say a couple should share joys and sorrows. Third sister-in-law has been enjoying herself for these three years since she married in, but now that Changdong is in trouble, you want to get her a divorce? So, if life is good, you live it, but if it’s not good, you divorce, right?” He Yuling sneered.
