Chapter 687 Negotiating a Divorce
Tang Xiaofen arranged an opportunity to meet Wang Jianguo.
He's in jail now, and you have to apply in advance and schedule a time to see him.
Wang Jianguo was also quite surprised to see her.
"Wife, wife, you finally said you'd see me. That bitch Fang Qing, you ran away and abandoned this family. I don't believe it, she must be spreading rumors. She can't stand seeing others happy when she's not doing well herself. I told her we were doing great, and she said I was daydreaming. By the way, wife, where were you those few days? I had my accident later and didn't have a chance to come see you."
Tang Xiaofen's gaze was indifferent, and her tone was calm, "Fang Qing is right, I ran away, I don't want that home anymore."
Wang Jianguo was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Wife, what are you joking about? This isn't funny at all. What do you want if you don't want that family? Don't you want the children? Run away? Where can you run to? We still have two children. We can never be separated in this lifetime."
Tang Xiaofen said calmly, "If I were to stay in the mountains for the rest of my life...maybe."
She took a deep breath and said, "I still have to thank you for bringing me out here and letting me see the world. Also, your suggestion that I find a job like Fang Qinghao showed me another way of life."
Back then, in that small mountain village, information was scarce, and there wasn't even a television.
She has lived in the mountains for over twenty years, and all her knowledge of the outside world comes from hearsay.
I've heard that women can also work outside the home and earn money, and that they can do all sorts of things.
But I've only heard rumors, and rumors can be true or false, so I don't dare to believe them all.
Speaking of divorce? You need somewhere to go after a divorce.
She can't go back to her parents' home, and where can she go after leaving the Wang family?
So even though she had been preparing to leave the Wang family, she was just holding onto that anger and waiting for an opportunity.
Opportunity always favors the prepared mind, and here it is, the opportunity has arrived.
Wang Jianguo has become successful in the city and wants to bring his whole family there; this is an opportunity.
She looked at Wang Jianguo, who was staring at her in astonishment, and slowly said, "If you hadn't brought me into the city, I wouldn't know what it's like to work and earn money. Even if I had heard about it, I wouldn't know where to find a job or how to find one. Now it's all right, I've found a job, the same job Fang Qing has."
Wang Jianguo's expression was a little stiff, but he still managed an awkward smile and said, "Really? That's great. I was worried that if something happened to me, my family wouldn't have any money to eat or drink. Now that you have a job, the family's livelihood problem is solved, and I can rest assured."
Tang Xiaofen nodded and said, "Since you can't get out, let's get a divorce for the sake of our family."
Wang Jianguo's expression changed. "What did you say?"
"I said let's get a divorce. You can't get out of here anyway, and we can't be husband and wife anymore, so let's just get a divorce, right?"
Wang Jianguo's face contorted with rage. "You want to get rid of me?"
"You can't even get out of here, what's the point of talking about shaking me off?"
"I... why can't I get out? I've been framed, you and my parents have to find a way to save me."
Tang Xiaofen suddenly smiled, "Don't you know whether you're innocent or not?"
Wang Jianguo was taken aback, "No, wife..."
Tang Xiaofen raised her hand to stop him and continued, "You didn't hide your embarrassing affair with Fang Qing from me, so why pretend in front of me?"
“That…that’s different. It was clearly that slut Fang Qing who seduced me, but she told people that I forced her, which is why I was sentenced to ten years. If you can be a witness for me in the second trial and prove that Fang Qing seduced me and that I didn’t force her, then I won’t have to be sentenced to ten years. Three years will be enough.”
Tang Xiaofen shook her head and said, "No, I've already asked. Given our relationship, if I testify for you in court, it can't be used as evidence unless we get a divorce first."
Wang Jianguo squinted, stunned for a long while, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"If you don't believe me, ask a lawyer."
Wang Jianguo shook his head. "That won't do. I'd rather find another way than divorce you. What will happen to my parents? What will happen to the children if we divorce?"
“I won’t go back even if you don’t get a divorce. I haven’t been back since the day your family pushed me out.”
Wang Jianguo pursed his lips, his fist clenching quietly beneath his sleeve.
If it weren't for this special place, Tang Xiaofen would have been beaten up by Wang Jianguo for saying such things.
But now, he doesn't have that qualification.
"We're doing just fine, why do we have to get a divorce?"
"All right?" Tang Xiaofen gave a wry smile and nodded. "Yes, all right. But it's you who's all right, not us."
"You...we're husband and wife. If I'm happy, you're happy. Why are we being so different?"
"Oh, since we're all the same, why not choose to let me be well?"
Wang Jianguo's face was a little stiff, but he still controlled his anger and said in a gentle tone, "Wife, what are you saying? How have you been bad these past few years? Have I been lacking you in food or clothing? How can you say that?"
"You haven't let me lack food or clothing? Ha! I earn my food and clothing through my own labor. What do you mean you haven't let me lack food or clothing?"
Wang Jianguo: "..."
"Would you be willing to do so much work for me every day, to take care of my parents, and for me to eat and drink for free?"
"This... how can we take care of the woman's parents? Besides, your father passed away a long time ago, and your mother is being taken care of by your brother and sister-in-law. It's not our turn."
Tang Xiaofen: "Stop rambling. You know what I mean."
"Okay, okay, I admit I was wrong, alright? I apologize. I'll do all the housework after I leave, and I'll take care of you and make sure you're comfortable, okay?"
Tang Xiaofen: "..."
"Divorce is a sensitive topic, so please don't bring it up."
"Hmph, I think I'd better give up. A man like you who's lazy, greedy, violent, and cheats is the trash in the trash can. I won't stay with you anymore."
Wang Jianguo: "Who told you that? Which man doesn't hit people? Which man doesn't cheat? A man who doesn't cheat is just incompetent. You, my man, am incompetent. You married a capable man, you should be happy."
The guards were amused by his words.
Fortunately, they were rigorously trained and wouldn't laugh no matter how funny something was.
Tang Xiaofen knew this would be the outcome, and she didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore.
The process of a mutually agreed divorce has been completed; if he doesn't agree, so be it.
Tang Xiaofen said calmly, "I will divorce you, and we'll each have one child. I don't want the son; he can stay with your family to carry on the family line. I'll take the daughter with me; you don't care about her anyway, you think she's a money-loser."
She stood up abruptly. "I'm not here to discuss this with you, but to inform you. If you don't agree, I'll hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit. The evidence of your infidelity is in court, and I believe this lawsuit won't be difficult."
