Mr. Shen, your love-struck wife doesn't want you anymore!

Jiang Yu and Guo Yaoyao slept in the hotel and woke up when it was already dark.

When the two arrived home, their aunt had already prepared dinner.

Seeing the large bags of clothes in their hands, Auntie complained that they were wasting money, saying that she had enough clothes and didn't need so many new ones.

When my uncle saw that there was only one pair of shoes, his face fell and he started cursing at the dinner table.

One minute she's complaining that the food isn't good, the next she's saying the rice is too hard. Her aunt sits silently eating beside her, and even Guo Yaoyao, who chimed in, gets a thorough dressing-down.

Jiang Yu slammed her chopsticks down: "If you don't like the food, then cook it yourself. If you think the rice is hard, then chew it a little more. What else can you do besides complain?"

The uncle slammed his hand on the table and stood up. To quell the situation, the aunt immediately pulled Jiang Yu back to her room.

Jiang Yu was furious inside the house: "Aunt, divorce him, and I'll take care of you in your old age."

My aunt is a traditional woman who has lived her whole life this way. Most of the women around her also lead similar lives. They are not particularly happy, but none of them have reached the point where they have to get divorced and can't make ends meet.

Jiang Yu had suggested that her aunt get a divorce long ago, but her aunt always just laughed it off, saying, "You're too old for that, why would you get a divorce?"

Jiang Yu disagreed with her aunt's idea; she couldn't belittle her or lecture her, she could only feel sorry for her.

She held her aunt's hand earnestly and said, "It's true, Yao Yao and I are both grown up now, and we can take care of you in your old age."

Her aunt touched her face. "Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you."

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

"Are you and Xiao Shen doing well?"

"fine."

Aunt's hesitant expression.

Jiang Yu wondered if Guo Yaoyao had said something, but the next second she heard her aunt say, "Did Xiao Shen beat you up?"

Jiang Yu let out a blank "Ah".

"Your dad told me that you get beaten every day at home, and Xiao Shen doesn't give you any money. If he finds out you've bought so many clothes, he'll probably scold you again."

As she spoke, her aunt began to wipe away tears. "Your dad said that you finally managed to save some money, but when he found out, he beat you so badly that you couldn't get out of bed for three days. He said that you were often hungry while you were at his house, sometimes not even having enough to eat. No wonder I felt you had lost weight since you came back."

While speaking, he checked Jiang Yu's body to see if there were any signs of being beaten.

Jiang Yu burst out laughing.

The more I thought about it, the funnier it became, until I ended up laughing so hard I collapsed on the bed.

Her aunt looked at her, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yu laughed until her stomach hurt: "No, it's okay. Auntie, Shen Chengyan has never hit me. He won't hit me. He's not the kind of man who hits women. Don't worry."

The aunt was skeptical.

Jiang Yu: "Don't let my skinny appearance fool you, I'm all muscle. I do yoga or lift weights every day, I'm really muscular. Feel it if you don't believe me."

After finally appeasing her aunt and agreeing not to argue with her uncle, Jiang Yu was able to finish her meal peacefully.

Before going to bed that night, Jiang Yu tentatively asked Guo Yaoyao, "Can you accept your future partner's parents getting divorced?"

Guo Yaoyao was a smart girl, and she immediately understood: "Sister, you want to ask me if I can accept my parents' divorce, right?"

Jiang Yu nodded: "I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it..."

Guo Yaoyao leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I installed surveillance cameras at home and lied to my parents, saying that they are getting old and that if they fall and can't move at home, I can call 120 in time through the surveillance. Actually, it's to collect evidence."

"My dad said he would never divorce my mom. I knew I couldn't persuade him, so I saved the videos of him hitting my mom after they argued. These are key pieces of evidence to make them divorce."

Jiang Yu sighed with a touch of emotion, "Wow, our Yao Yao has grown up."

Guo Yaoyao said smugly, "I'm already 19."

"What about my aunt..."

"I will slowly work on her mindset. I just started college, and my mom thinks I'm still a child. If she gets divorced, I'll be a burden to her. But she doesn't know that I'm already her support."

Jiang Yu was truly relieved and touched her little face.

Guo Yaoyao said, "I have to thank my brother-in-law for encouraging me to study law back then, and for telling me that I could protect my mother through the law."

Jiang Yu was displeased upon hearing his name: "What does it have to do with him?"

"It has a lot to do with me. Sis, do you remember when I wasn't this outgoing? Before I was 14, I really disliked going home. I felt depressed when I went home, and I even developed a dislike for school. I thought those 'cool' girls who smoked, drank, and had tattoos were really cool."

Jiang Yu knew all this, of course. Her aunt called her with great concern and told her about Guo Yaoyao skipping class.

She called Guo Yaoyao and gave her a good scolding.

Guo Yaoyao was going through a rebellious phase at that time, and we argued with each other on the phone.

Jiang Yu was furious back then, and she also deeply understood how angry the uncle who sponsored her to go to university was when she was rebellious, skipped classes, and smoked in high school.

"At the end of that year, you and your brother-in-law came back to visit relatives. You got drunk that night, and after your brother-in-law took you back to the hotel, he drove me around for a long time and we talked for a long time."

"My brother-in-law took me to more than a dozen bars and KTVs. I was only 14 years old at the time, and it was the first time I had ever seen that it could be so lively at 2 a.m.

"I don't know why my brother-in-law brought me to a place like this. He didn't say. He just wanted me to look."

"Let me see those pretty young ladies dressed in revealing and sexy clothes, drunk and being taken advantage of without restraint."

"Let me see those girls who are drunk and acting crazy in the street, crying their eyes out, without any dignity whatsoever."

"Let me see those young girls embracing those men who look much older without any restraint."

"He showed me a lot of images that made me uncomfortable."

"Then he told me that if I didn't study, I would end up with the same life as those girls."

"Then he took me to the police station so I could see how many young girls would come here in one night."

"I was only in junior high school at the time, and when I saw a completely unfamiliar world, I was so scared that I couldn't say anything."

"Then he told me that I could be one of those young girls who frequent entertainment venues, or one of those who maintain order."

"He told me to study hard, to study law, to be my mother's support, to be someone who can protect her, instead of dropping out of school and going astray, making her cry every day."

Guo Yaoyao turned over to face Jiang Yu. "Sis, didn't your husband tell you any of this?"

Jiang Yu closed her eyes: "No."

She murmured to herself, "I feel like he's hiding a lot from me, like he's full of secrets."

Guo Yaoyao didn't hear her clearly: "What did you say, sis?"

Jiang Yu said after a while, "It's nothing, go to sleep."

Guo Yaoyao slept too much at the hotel during the day and couldn't sleep at night.

While idly scrolling through my phone, a message from Shen Chengyan popped up on WeChat: "Are you Guo Yaoyao?"

Guo Yaoyao glanced at Jiang Yu beside her and whispered, "It's me, it's me. Brother-in-law, what's up?"

Shen Chengyan: "Weren't you 'Bald Baby' last time? How come you've turned into 'Energetic Girl Guo Degang' again?"

Guo Yaoyao was speechless for a long time: "Brother-in-law, could you change my contact name?"

Shen Chengyan: "Did your sister call you?"

Guo Yaoyao: "She hasn't called me."

Guo Yaoyao: "But she's sleeping right next to me now."

Jiang Yu saw Shen Chengyan the next afternoon.
