"mom!"

Seeing that Sun Man had stopped walking, Song Mingzhi quickly urged Li Shufen, "Go get the bankbook! I'll go get the money for Sun Man right now and then divorce her!"

"..."

Li Shufen is going crazy!

That's 5000 yuan, not 500 yuan.

Li Shufen clutched her chest, feeling as if she were being stabbed repeatedly. "Mingzhi, if it really doesn't work out, can we just quit your job?"

"You don't want it anymore?"

Song Mingzhi's voice trembled with anger, "Mom! Do you know how much a permanent job costs these days? The winery is profitable and pays well; countless people are desperate to get in. And you, for 5000 yuan, are telling me to give up this job!"

"I'm so young, what am I supposed to do if I lose my job? I can't possibly take a temporary job with no job security, can I? That's ridiculous!"

Seeing that neighbors were starting to gather at the door, Song Mingzhi's expression changed drastically.

Looking down at his naked body, he rushed back into the house, picked up his clothes from the floor, and quickly put them on. When he came out and saw that Li Shufen hadn't moved yet, he urged loudly, "Mom, stop dawdling and hurry up and get the bankbook! I'm your only son. In your heart, is my future less important than 5000 yuan?"

"..."

Li Shufen's tears streamed down her face, heartbroken.

But that was her and Song Beiping's life savings.

Their family had originally saved 21800 yuan, but when the Sun family came last time, they forcibly took 9240 yuan. When Mingyu got married, she bought some more dowry items and gave 500 yuan as a dowry. Now, they only have 12000 yuan left in their savings account.

I gave Sun Man another 5000 yuan, and my savings shrank by almost half again.

Li Shufen was reluctant to part with the money, her heart aching with worry. But now that things had come to this point, if she didn't give him the money, her son would hate her. She and Song Beiping only had this one son, and they were counting on him to take care of them in their old age.

Li Shufen hated it.

She glared at Sun Man with resentment, her eyes filled with a look that seemed to want to devour Sun Man alive.

No matter how unwilling she was, she still reluctantly took the passbook. The moment she handed the passbook to Song Mingzhi, Li Shufen could no longer hold back and her legs went weak, causing her to sit on the ground.

She pounded her chest and sobbed, "What sins did my family commit to deserve such a jinx like you? If I had known you were this kind of person, I would never have let you into the family!"

Sun Man retorted with a cold laugh, "Your daughter is already flirting with men before she's even married, and she's been messing around with other men in dance halls. Your son is married, but he beats his wife and cheats on her. If I had known your family was this shameless, I wouldn't have even stepped foot in your doorway back then, even if your whole family had knelt down and begged me!"

The neighbors who came to watch the drama unfold were completely dumbfounded.

"Having an affair? Who's having an affair?"

"Are you blind? Didn't you hear Sun Man say that Li Shufen's son was having an affair? How many sons does Li Shufen have? Isn't it Song Mingzhi?!"

"No way, he's having an affair in his own home? That's outrageous!"

"I know, I know! I got here early and heard and saw everything. I heard Song Mingzhi having an affair with their housekeeper, and I even saw him run out naked! It's true!"

The neighbors were dumbfounded.

The things the Song family did kept refreshing their understanding.

After a brief silence, the neighbors' emotions erupted like a lit firecracker, instantly boiling over. The accusations and curses grew louder and louder, like waves that almost overwhelmed Song Mingzhi and Li Shufen.

Song Mingzhi's vision went black.

It's all his mother's fault.

They cried like they were at a funeral, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know about their family's shameful deeds.

Li Shufen was so frightened she forgot to cry. "Mingzhi, what do we do now? So many people know about you and Zhang Fang. Are we still going to give Sun Man her money?"

"Of course we should give it to them!"

Others are outsiders; they can say whatever they want as long as he doesn't admit it. But Sun Man is the victim, and she must be silenced. Song Mingzhi gripped the bankbook tightly. "Sun Man, I'll withdraw the 5000 yuan compensation you wanted right now, but you must promise me that you won't cause any more trouble after you get the money!"

Sun Manfei and Zhang Fang exchanged a quick glance and readily agreed, "After taking the money, I certainly won't say a single thing that I shouldn't say."

Song Mingzhi didn't believe her and threatened, "You're still making trouble after you've taken the money. I won't pay a single penny of Tiedan's child support."

"OK!"

She only promised she wouldn't cause trouble.

Whether Zhang Fang makes a fuss or not is not within the scope of her promise.

Song Mingzhi had suffered greatly at Sun Man's hands recently and never wanted to see her face again. "Once you get the money, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce right away."

"good!"

They successfully tore a piece of flesh from the Song family.

Even without Song Mingzhi saying anything, she wouldn't stay in this house and continue to make herself feel disgusted.

Having received a positive reply, Song Mingzhi immediately rode his bicycle to the bank to withdraw the money. He was very fast, and the round trip took less than twenty minutes.

When Song Mingzhi returned with the money, Sun Man had already entrusted Director Li to write a mediation certificate and three copies of the divorce agreement. The agreement clearly stated that Sun Man would have custody of Tie Dan, and Song Mingzhi would deposit 30 yuan into Sun Man's bank account as child support on the first of each month until Tie Dan turned eighteen.

After reading the contents of the agreement.

Song Mingzhi bit his toothpick and wrote his name on it, then pressed his handprint with red clay.

Sun Man had finished counting the money.

The 5000 yuan was packed into five thick envelopes. After counting the last one, Sun Man's eyes gradually reddened. All the madness and forbearance were worth it.

With this money...

She and Tiedan's lives will definitely get better and better.

Sun Man looked at Song Mingzhi and Li Shufen; the two looked like they had been dead for days, their faces pale. Sun Man was even happier to see this. After Director Li stamped the mediation certificate and the divorce agreement, Sun Man immediately urged Song Mingzhi to get a divorce.

Song Mingzhi couldn't wait to leave.

After pulling out their household registration book, marriage certificate, and mediation certificate, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau accompanied by Director Li. Director Li had a relative working at the Civil Affairs Bureau, so they didn't even have to wait in line.

The process was simple, and in less than five minutes, the red booklet became a green booklet.

The moment she received the divorce certificate, Sun Man's mind flashed back to the details of her seven-year marriage. Her eyes welled up with tears, and her feelings were a mix of emotions, but mostly she felt a sense of relief.

Song Mingzhi was both angry and resentful. "The divorce is over. Pack your things and Tie Dan's things and move out of my house today."

"I'll leave even if you don't chase me away."

"Don't forget what you promised."

Sun Man retorted, "I'm still young, I haven't reached the point of forgetting things."

On the way back, they passed a bank. Accompanied by Director Li, Sun Man deposited the 5000 yuan she had just received into the bank. Fearing that the Song family would make things difficult for Sun Man, Director Li decided to go all the way and accompany her back to the Song family to pack her things.

The neighbors at the gate of the courtyard had not yet dispersed.

Upon seeing the two appear, Granny Qian excitedly waved to Sun Man, "Manman, come quickly, there's something new to see at the Song family's place."

"What's wrong?"

Grandma Qian gave her the best viewing spot, saying, "See for yourself!"

yard.

Zhang Fang pointed to her torn and ripped top, tears streaming down her face, "Song Mingzhi, you raped me! I'm going to report you for indecent assault!"
