Three days passed quickly. According to the agreement, Xu Yunjie should fork out 700 yuan and give it to Lan Shu. Then, the two of them would divorce and break up.
Initially, Lan Shu thought that Xu Yunjie could not wait to get a divorce. He would fork out the money at noon at the latest and ask her to get out of his dormitory.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yunjie only walked into the room at night, and his expression was gloomy.
"650 yuan. That's all I've got," he said, his voice cracking.
He must have been too busy going around borrowing money these days and was exhausted.
However, Lan Shu only looked up and glanced at the money on the table. "We agreed on 700 yuan. What's the meaning of this? Has the divorce compensation been halved?"
Her smiling voice was extremely ear-piercing to Xu Yunjie's ears.
To Xu Yunjie, this was equivalent to humiliating him!
Xu Yunjie gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Don't worry, I promised that I wouldn't take a single cent! My family will send money over tomorrow afternoon. We'll get a divorce in the afternoon!"
Initially, he thought that Lan Shu would be sad when she heard about the divorce. However, Xu Yunjie realized that what he had expected did not happen.
Instead, Lan Shu replied nonchalantly, "Sure."
Then, she immediately kept the 650 yuan on the table.
Xu Yunjie: "?"
That night, Xu Yunjie tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
He was clearly the one who wanted a divorce, but why did he feel that Lan Shu wanted a divorce more than he now?
…
The next day, Xu Yunjie specially applied for leave and went to the county station to pick up his elder sister.
The last 50 yuan he lacked this time was borrowed from his eldest sister whom he called last night.
Although 50 yuan was not a lot of money to him, it was not a small sum to Eldest Sister Xu, who grew up in the countryside and eventually married into a family in the village. She did not have a job and could only reach out to men to ask for money.
However, when the eldest sister of the Xu family heard that as long as she gave her younger brother this sum of money, he would be able to marry the daughter of the city's leader in the future…
She came to give him the money even though she had quarreled with her husband and was beaten up.
Eldest Sister Xu was overjoyed after not seeing her younger brother for a few years.
However, she soon realized that the way her younger brother looked at her was no longer as friendly as when they were young. Instead, he looked like a stranger…
At this moment, Xu Yunjie was upset because he felt that Lan Shu seemed to want to divorce him too.
Although he came from a poor background and a poor family, he had always felt a sense of superiority in front of Lan Shu.
The source of this sense of superiority was not only because he was good-looking and a university student, but also because Lan Shu was infatuated with him.
But now, the person who liked him so much back then didn't seem to like him anymore.
Even if this marriage did not mean anything in Xu Yunjie's heart, he didn't want to be abandoned by others.
He had something on his mind, so Xu Yunjie didn't have the time to reminisce with his eldest sister. He didn't even react when he saw the bruise at the corner of his eldest sister's mouth.
After receiving the money, he directly told his eldest sister, "I'll return it to you in a few months."
He then turned around and left the station.
Eldest Sister Xu was left alone as she looked at her younger brother's back. She silently cried in grievance.
Could it be that her younger brother had really become rich, so he looked down on his family members now?
Eldest Sister Xu suddenly felt that all the effort she had put in for her younger brother was for nothing! He was an ingrate!
However, what else could she do other than complain for a moment?
He was the most capable member of the Xu family. In the future, when her son grew up, she would still need her younger brother's help.
She only hoped that her younger brother would remember how well she treated him today…
…
That afternoon, Lan Shu arrived outside Qingyang County's marriage registration office at the time she had agreed with Xu Yunjie.
After getting the last 50 yuan, she walked in with Xu Yunjie without hesitation.
Ten minutes later, the two of them walked out with a divorce certificate in their hands.
They were finally divorced!
Without the shackles of marriage around her feet, Lan Shu's heart instantly lightened.
On the other hand, Xu Yunjie's face fell. He was in an extremely bad mood!
Originally, he was bent on getting a divorce. Now that he saw how happy Lan Shu was with the divorce certificate, he even felt that he was the one who was dumped!
What men could not tolerate the most was a woman's betrayal!
Even if he hated Lan Shu, he could not bear to see her so happy after leaving him!
Perhaps because Xu Yunjie's resentful gaze was too intense, Lan Shu, who was at the side, felt it.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Xu Yunjie looking at her with anger and regret mixed with other negative emotions.
Lan Shu: "?"
He was the one who wanted a divorce, and she had fulfilled his wish. Now, he was looking at her as if she was the heartless one?
Lan Shu couldn't bear to see Xu Yunjie like this.
"There's no need to look at me like you're a victim. It's been so long. Do you think I still haven't figured it out?" Lan Shu sneered meaningfully.
These words made Xu Yunjie's heart skip a beat. He had a bad feeling.
Then, he heard Lan Shu say…
"Back in the village, you pretended to meet me by chance every day. You were simply trying to make me like you. You knew that your Xu family was poor and didn't have the money to support you in university, so you wanted to enter my family and use the Lan family's money to go to university.
"What a good scheme. Not only did you deceive my young and ignorant self, but you also enjoyed my family's unstinting support for you to go to university. At the same time, you made the Xu family feel guilty toward you. You even made it seem justified for you to abandon your poor family."
Lan Shu's words completely exposed the dirty thoughts that Xu Yunjie had been hiding deep in his heart!
After a short moment of shock, he was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he could not raise his head!
Lan Shu did not hold back when facing a scumbag like Xu Yunjie.
"You said that you despise me for being fat, but I despise you for having an evil heart! I can get rid of my fat as long as I lose weight, but your dirty heart will never be clean!"
As she spoke, Lan Shu even deliberately grinned and smiled at Xu Yunjie. "You're right about one thing. Just thinking about how I have nothing to do with someone like you makes me extremely happy.
"Besides, you were a live-in son-in-law. Even though we're divorced, remember this. I'm the one who divorced you!
"You'd better not appear in front of me again in the future. Otherwise, you'll just disgust me and be an eyesore!"
With that, Lan Shu didn't wait for Xu Yunjie to react. She glanced at him contemptuously before striding away.
After the divorce, she could finally move out of Xu Yunjie's cramped staff dormitory and start a free new life in this era.
…
More than ten minutes ago, a tractor stopped outside the gate of the machinery factory.
Lan Dazhuang jumped down from the tractor and greeted the security guards at the entrance of the factory. Then, he hurriedly walked into the factory.
This afternoon in the village, Lan Dazhuang was driving the tractor back when he met his brother-in-law's elder sister on the way.
He was kind enough to give her a ride. However, he was surprised to find out that Xu Yunjie wanted to divorce his sister!
This infuriated Lan Dazhuang!
Without another word, he drove the tractor from the village to the county.
His sister had only been in the county for a month, and that bastard Xu Yunjie already wanted to divorce her?
He would not stop beating that kid up until he got rid of the idea of having a divorce!
