Chapter 5: The old lady’s right eyelid twitched. She had never seen Jiang Mingyue like this before
The old lady’s right eyelid twitched. She had never seen Jiang Mingyue so calm before.
Luo Mingzhong had a bad feeling in his heart. Was she going to talk about divorce?
He glared at her warningly, as if to say, “That’s enough.”
“Grandma, Mom, since you’re all here today, let’s talk things out.
You’ve all seen that we’re not suitable for living together, and my stomach is useless, I can’t give the Luo family a child.
You’ve all seen everything between him and me. Mom, you just said that the past is the past, but maybe I’m narrow-minded, and some things I can’t get over.
After this incident, I’ve completely understood that it’s not good for either of us to continue living like this.
So I’ve decided to divorce Luo Mingzhong, and I hope you won’t stop me.”
The old lady exclaimed, staggered a few steps and fell backward. Fortunately, Luo Mingzhong reacted quickly and supported her in time.
Lin Jinghua was equally shocked.
It was the first time she had heard a woman take the initiative to file for divorce.
But that was also good. Although divorce was not a glorious thing, Jiang Mingyue couldn’t have children, so it was considered self-aware to propose divorce early, so as not to drag down her son.
Luo Mingzhong never expected that Jiang Mingyue’s courage would become greater and greater, and she would actually use this kind of thing to stimulate his grandmother.
He was furious: “Jiang Mingyue, shut up. Are you only satisfied when you make Grandma sick?
I’ve already apologized to you, what else do you want?”
Hearing his words, could it be that saying those words was just to deal with himself, and he didn’t intend to divorce at all?
“We agreed before Grandma and Mom came in that we would go to the political commissar’s office at nine o’clock tomorrow morning. Do you want to go back on your word now?
Don’t forget, you said it yourself. You’re a regimental commander, after all, so you don’t mean what you say?”
“Don’t go too far.”
The old lady’s eyes turned red with anxiety. If she missed such a good granddaughter-in-law, this kid would regret it for the rest of his life.
“Mingyue, divorce is a big deal, you can’t talk nonsense about this.
Child, Grandma knows you’re wronged, let’s calm down first. Let’s wait until you’re both calm and then talk about this, okay? Just give Grandma some face.”
Jiang Mingyue knew very well that she had left herself no way out by saying these words.
“Grandma, I’m not joking. I hope Grandma will grant my wish.”
Lin Jinghua couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
“You still have the nerve to say that? I’ve never seen someone with such a small mind. You have no job, no ability, and you’re dragging around a burden. If it weren’t for my son supporting you all these years, who would be willing to marry a hen that can’t lay eggs? You’re just getting carried away, do you really think you’re a treasure?
Besides, if it weren’t for Ningning’s brother, you might be a widow. You don’t know how to be grateful and you’re always throwing mud at your own man.”
She still had the nerve to mention divorce?
She would rather believe that there were ghosts in the world than believe that Jiang Mingyue would divorce her son.
When she married her son, she gave up her college admission notice and even broke up with her family. She had rarely interacted with her family in recent years.
She wanted to see where she could go after she divorced and took the money-losing commodity out of this compound, and which man would dare to want her.
As long as she really divorced, she would definitely be drowned by everyone’s spit.
What a big face, she dared to dislike her son.
Her son was a regimental commander, after all, and he would have plenty of opportunities in the future. She was a villager who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth after a few years of stable life?
Jiang Mingyue sneered. Lin Jinghua rarely gave her a good look, and now she didn’t even bother to pretend in front of the old lady.
The harsh words made her heart as still as water.
Others didn’t know what was going on, but the two of them knew.
“Mom, you shouldn’t say these words to me. You should ask your son why I’m a hen that can’t lay eggs.”
Luo Mingzhong felt guilty, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
He just said that she had to make a fuss about divorcing today, and the feeling was that she was forcing him to consummate the marriage with her.
It was extremely shameless, was she so impatient?
Lin Jinghua was anxious when she heard this. What did she mean by this?
Her own stomach was useless, could she blame her son?
Her son was in good health.
“What do you mean by this? Don’t throw dirty water on my son if you’re useless yourself.”
Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to quarrel again, the old lady coughed dryly with anger, and said in a muffled voice with a breath stuck in her chest: “Enough, are these words that you, as an elder, should say?
No wonder Mingzhong is getting worse and worse now, I think it’s all because you spoiled him.”
After the old lady finished speaking, the crutches in her hand hit the concrete floor heavily.
“You stinky brat, apologize to Mingyue.”
Luo Mingzhong stubbornly turned his head away: “I’m not wrong, I won’t apologize.”
The old lady’s face turned pale with anger, and she hit him twice on the calf with her crutches.
“Grandma, don’t worry about this matter. If she wants to divorce, let her divorce. Anyway, she’s not making a scene for the first or second time.
I still have something to do, so I’ll go and get busy first.”
Seeing that this matter couldn’t be resolved, Luo Mingzhong had a headache and just wanted to leave.
Indeed, he did so.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere instantly became quiet.
Jiang Mingyue was expressionless. This time, even if he wanted to perfunctorily deal with it, she would never bow her head.
In any case, this divorce must be done.
Moreover, the sooner the better.
In her previous life, she was not useless. Later, she went to adult university and used various studies to numb herself. She also opened a company and had her own hotel and factory.
After losing her child, she always used various jobs to fill the empty void in her heart, but no matter how excellent she was, she always felt that life was meaningless.
She also established several orphanages, specializing in taking in those children without parents.
Until her death, all her property was left to the orphanages.
Having been reborn, let’s start everything from scratch.
In the afternoon, she went to the town and cut her waist-length black hair to shoulder-length. Under her command, the barber cut out the clavicle hair she wanted.
She also exchanged twenty yuan for the cut hair.
She used these twenty yuan to buy herself a bright red knee-length dress and a pair of white leather shoes.
After such a makeover, her whole temperament improved a lot.
She was not bad-looking, with delicate and refined features, but her marriage was not smooth, she often frowned, and she also wore plain gray clothes all year round, and she didn’t know how to dress up, so she looked listless and had no energy, so she seemed to have no temperament and no confidence, and her face was covered in dirt, looking like a yellow-faced woman.
In her previous life, she was worthy of everyone for the sake of this family, but she was only sorry for herself.
In this life, she wanted herself to bloom like a flower and would no longer put other people’s feelings first.
She also bought a small red dress and a pair of white shoes for Xiaoxue.
When they got married, the two just quietly got their marriage certificate, and she didn’t even have a red dress.
When divorcing, she must be happy, upright, and leave that compound with gongs and drums.
When she came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she had light makeup on, and the difference between entering and leaving was like two different people.
From this moment on, she was no longer the Jiang Mingyue of the past.
She looked down at the big and small bags in her hand, smiled, and strode towards the farmers market.
