Chapter 109: I Want to File for Divorce

Hearing her father’s words, all of Shen Chuning’s suppressed emotions erupted, and she cried uncontrollably.

But no matter how she resisted.

Her father still gave her the two papers for her and Shen Zhengliang.

Shen Zhengxu, who had been sitting silently beside them, spoke, “Little sister, listen to Dad, take them. Send your third brother’s to him.

Second Brother’s situation is too serious.

Like you advised Uncle, it’s better to preserve oneself. We can’t let Second Brother’s matter implicate the whole family.

If a piece of paper can protect you from being implicated, it’s worth it.”

“Big Brother…” Shen Chuning cried, looking at Shen Zhengxu.

Shen Zhengxu looked away, unable to bear to see her.

Shen Chuning clenched her fists, crying, “Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother will be fine, believe me, okay?”

“Sigh!” Father Shen sighed, unable to bear to see his daughter’s heartbreaking tears, “Good girl, it’s not that Dad doesn’t believe you. But things are like this, Dad can’t gamble with your and Third Brother’s future.”

Then, Father Shen gave her the two severance agreements and pushed her out of the Shen family’s gate.

Although Shen Chuning’s heart ached, she knew she couldn’t cry in front of others.

So, the moment her father pushed her out, she quickly wiped away her tears.

Passing He’s house, she heard arguing inside.

He Guoqiang’s voice came from inside, “That marriage with the Shen family must be called off!”

“Dad, no!” He Hui’s stubborn voice, tinged with tears, came, “Dad, you can’t do this. Second Brother Shen was just taken for questioning, he hasn’t been convicted.

Why are you making me break up with Big Brother Shen.”

Auntie He also persuaded, “Yes, old man, Second Brother Shen was just taken for questioning, he hasn’t been convicted.

Besides, if we break up now, it’s like kicking someone when they’re down! What will people think of our family?”

“Woman’s thinking!” He Guoqiang’s voice showed his anger.

“Even if he hasn’t been convicted, break up quickly, our family won’t be implicated. Once he’s convicted, even if we break up, our family can’t escape.

If my job is taken away, you’ll starve!”

“I won’t break up!” He Hui cried, “You only care about your job! I’m not supported by your job, I can earn work points…”

“Slap!” Before He Hui finished speaking, a clear slap was heard.

“Old man…”

Then Auntie He’s hurried voice protecting He Hui, “Speak properly, why did you hit your daughter?”

“Woohoo…”

He Hui’s cries came through the crack in the door, Shen Chuning felt her heart ache.

She thought she had completely changed the dream, Big Brother and Sister He Hui could live a peaceful and happy life, Second Brother wouldn’t be executed for speculation, and Third Brother wouldn’t die saving her.

But now, although her actions had changed the fate of her family, things seemed worse.

Shen Chuning’s eyes reddened, she sniffed, feeling deeply helpless.

As she was about to leave, she heard the sound of the Shen family’s gate opening.

She turned and saw Shen Zhengxu, “Big Brother, you…”

Seeing her, Shen Zhengxu was surprised, sighing slightly, “It’s getting dark, go home quickly, don’t worry Dad and me.”

Then, Shen Zhengxu walked towards He’s house.

Shen Chuning instantly understood what Big Brother was going to do.

She quickly stopped Shen Zhengxu, “Big Brother, wait!”

Shen Zhengxu stopped, looking at her bitterly, “Little sister, I know you’ve been worried about my marriage. But in this situation, if I insist on marrying her, I’m harming her, it’s irresponsible.”

Shen Chuning slowly lowered her hand.

Dad and Big Brother had written severance agreements for her and Third Brother, how could they implicate the innocent He family?

But Sister He Hui…

Thinking of Sister He Hui confronting her father for Big Brother.

Now Big Brother was taking the initiative to break up, how sad Sister He Hui must be.

Shen Chuning couldn’t bear to watch Shen Zhengxu break up with He Hui, she chose to leave.

But as she walked, her tears flowed uncontrollably.

When she got home, she saw Lin Shulan waiting at the gate.

She suddenly had a thought, should she divorce Zhou Yubai first? If something happened to Second Brother, her divorce wouldn’t affect Zhou Yubai’s career or implicate the Zhou family.

Seeing Shen Chuning return, Lin Shulan quickly went forward, holding her hand, “Oh, why are you crying like this?

Your Second Brother was just taken for questioning, he hasn’t been convicted, don’t cry yourself sick.”

Shen Chuning quickly sniffed and wiped her tears, “Mother, I’m sorry, I won’t cry.”

“That’s right. Everything will be alright, your Second Brother didn’t do anything bad, they won’t frame him, don’t worry.”

After comforting her, Lin Shulan went to the kitchen.

Soon, Lin Shulan brought a bowl of sweet potato with brown sugar, smiling at Shen Chuning, “Ningning, hungry? Mother made this for you this afternoon. Eating something sweet is the most comforting in times like this.”

Sweet potato with brown sugar was made by boiling whole sweet potatoes with brown sugar.

Although simple, brown sugar was expensive and time-consuming, almost no one made it.

Only well-off families would make a pot during the New Year for their children.

Her mother-in-law made this for her, treating her like a child.

But even the most delicious food couldn’t taste good now.

She was conflicted, considering whether to propose a divorce from Zhou Yubai.

After eating a sweet potato, she finally made a decision, her eyes red like a rabbit, looking at Lin Shulan, “Mother, I plan to send a telegram to Brother Yubai’s superior tomorrow to apply for a divorce!”
