Chapter 72 I’m Afraid He’ll Blame Me

They hadn’t registered their marriage, so they didn’t need a divorce certificate. As long as both of them were willing to separate, they could clear their relationship.

Sun Xiaod ie’s letter was long, but Hu Meili was stunned by the first sentence, and she hurriedly took the letter to find Lin Xiangdong.

While Lin Xiangdong was reading the letter, Hu Meili was explaining beside him.

“I didn’t chase her away. I didn’t scold her or hit her. She wanted to go back on her own. She’s pregnant, I wouldn’t dare to do anything to her…”

Lin Xiangdong’s attitude was there, Hu Meili was making a fuss on the surface, but in her heart, she had already begun to accept this fact.

Her son didn’t want to return to the city, what could she do?

Moreover, Lin Xiangdong also said that he couldn’t abandon his wife and child, and he wouldn’t dare to let a woman with a child live in the countryside, it was too hard.

Hu Meili understood all of this, she had just been in a bad mood and deliberately made a fuss, picking on Sun Xiaod ie.

Now that Sun Xiaod ie suddenly left, Hu Meili was the most anxious.

Afraid that her son wouldn’t believe her words, Hu Meili also said, “Lin Nan has been at home these past two days, she can testify for me.”

Lin Xiangnan had argued with Hu Meili last time, and she hadn’t spoken to her for two days. Now that she was needed, she was called back to be a witness.

“When you don’t need me, you scold me whenever you want, but now that you need me, you start talking sweetly to me.” Lin Xiangnan said sarcastically, but she still told Lin Xiangdong, “Mom has been picking on Xiaoxi, the soft target, these past two days, she hasn’t made a fuss with Sun Xiaod ie.”

Lin Xiangnan glanced at Hu Meili’s anxious look and couldn’t help but add, “Big Brother, your organizational relationship is still in the countryside. Even if Mom doesn’t care about the unborn child, she will care about you.”

“I believe Mom, I didn’t blame Mom.” Lin Xiangdong put down Hu Meili’s letter and hurriedly flipped through his things.

Lin Xiangnan silently picked up the letter and read it. After reading it, she couldn’t care less about arguing with Hu Meili, she used her elbow to poke Hu Meili’s arm and asked gossipingly, “Sun Xiaod ie told you to act freely, her family won’t obstruct Big Brother’s transfer back to the city. What did you say to her?”

“Did you threaten her?”

“Or did you bribe her with money?”

Hu Meili was furious, “Don’t slander me! It’s at this point, and you’re still pouring oil on the fire.”

“Who told you to make such a fuss before? You cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang yourself. It’s hard not to suspect.”

Hu Meili also knew this, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so eager to explain.

But Lin Xiangdong soon found another letter from under his pillow, which Sun Xiaod ie had specifically left for him.

Seeing this new discovery, Hu Meili and Lin Xiangnan rushed over.

“Xiangdong, I’m going back. My stomach wasn’t feeling well the other day, it was caused by motion sickness, I’m not pregnant. You can stay in the city with peace of mind, I’ll remarry when I go back. I’ll explain to my family myself, you don’t have to worry. Your Mom said she wanted to compensate me with two hundred yuan, but I didn’t take it, I don’t want to taint our feelings… Actually, I shouldn’t have forced you to marry me…”

“She’s not pregnant?” Hu Meili was relieved to see this, but when she saw the two hundred yuan, she felt a little uncomfortable.

“I did bribe her with money, but Sun Xiaod ie didn’t want it. And Sun Xiaod ie also threatened me with the child in her belly and Xiangdong’s organizational relationship in the countryside. We’re even now.”

Lin Xiangnan commented sharply, “Neither of them are easy to deal with.”

She was then stepped on by Hu Meili.

Lin Xiangnan snorted, moved her foot away, and continued to read Sun Xiaod ie’s letter.

After reading it, she asked Lin Xiangdong, “Sun Xiaod ie said all this, are you still going back to the countryside to find her?”

Anyone who read Sun Xiaod ie’s letter would have to say she was a love-struck fool.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, she fell head over heels, and then she pursued him relentlessly, even chasing him to the city.

To be with Lin Xiangdong, Sun Xiaod ie was really rude to Hu Meili, she used all the tricks she could, just to gamble on Lin Xiangdong’s position in Hu Meili’s heart. If Hu Meili softened, then Sun Xiaod ie could get what she wanted.

Lin Xiangxi needed a job to avoid going to the countryside, but he was still in school, and he had a year to prepare.

If he was lucky, he might be able to raise enough money to buy a new job soon.

Since there was a way to have the best of both worlds, why not gamble?

But before Hu Meili could say anything, Lin Xiangnan dismantled the stage.

There was only one job left in the family that could be negotiated, Lin Xiangdong could take it if he wanted to, if he didn’t, he would simply go back to the countryside, there weren’t many choices.

Hu Meili didn’t have any extra bargaining chips, and Sun Xiaod ie had nowhere to use her tricks.

Lin Xiangdong had always been the same, he couldn’t support a family in the city, he wanted to go back with Sun Xiaod ie.

If he was selfish and abandoned his wife and child, Sun Xiaod ie might still be upset and deliberately do something bad, but he was willing to go back.

This made Sun Xiaod ie feel uncomfortable.

Like Hu Meili, she didn’t want Lin Xiangdong to go back and suffer. She was also worried that Lin Xiangdong would regret giving up the opportunity to return to the city, and he would resent her in a few years.

But if she stayed in the city, Lin Xiangdong wouldn’t be able to support them, they would just be hungry together.

She had tried her best, but reality was cruel.

Sun Xiaod ie tossed and turned for two nights before deciding to get a divorce and go back alone.

Her letter made Lin Xiangdong, a big man, shed tears. He said sadly, “I still want to go back.”

“If you go back, she’ll probably chase you back.” Hu Meili quickly persuaded, “Didn’t she say it in the letter? She doesn’t dare to continue living with you anymore. If you give up the chance to return to the city for her, it will be like a mountain on her back, it will suffocate her.”

Human nature, who can say for sure?

In the city, Lin Xiangdong could firmly choose Sun Xiaod ie.

When he returned to the countryside, when Lin Xiangdong was reading by candlelight, would he think of the electric lights in the city? When he got up early to carry water, would he think of the tap water in the city? When he worked under the scorching sun, would he think of the electric fan in the city…

It was because she truly loved him that Sun Xiaod ie dared not gamble.

“Sun Xiaod ie doesn’t want to be with you anymore. Isn’t it good for you to stay in the city?” Hu Meili persuaded.

“Mom, I’ve caused you a lot of trouble these past few days.” Lin Xiangdong comforted Hu Meili and said helplessly, “But I’m not at ease with Xiaod ie going back alone. I want to send her back myself.”

Hu Meili’s heart tightened, “What if she changes her mind then?”

“She won’t. Things have come to this point, she’s made up her mind.” Lin Xiangdong said, “Even if we get divorced, she’ll be happy if I send her back.”

He went to send Sun Xiaod ie back for no other reason than for her to be happy.
