Chen Lin handed Chu Xue a box of sour plums. Chu Xue sat on the kang, soaking her feet in a basin, eating the plums with one hand, and letting Chen Lin massage her feet with the other.

“Xiao Xue, are you feeling uncomfortable?” Chen Lin asked with concern.

“Ah, I’m just so tired. I don’t know if you have this luck.” Chu Xue touched her belly, “I feel like I’m pregnant; it’s been a few days late already. I heard that if you crave sour foods, it’s more likely to be a boy.”

The word “son” illuminated Chen Lin’s old face.

Although Chen Zilong was also a son, who doesn’t like such a good thing that can carry on the family line?

“Have you talked to that crazy woman in your family about this? If you don’t talk soon, I’ll have this child aborted!”

“No, don’t have an abortion! That’s life you’re talking about, how can you be so heartless!” Chen Lin was most afraid of this.

“Am I heartless, or are you? I’m not forcing you to divorce your crazy wife. Just give me and our child some assurance. I’ve been with you for so long, and I haven’t asked you for anything. I just want you to give me the old house in your hometown for our son’s security, and that’s not alright?”

Apart from the two-story building that Chen Lin built with Jia Xiufang in Qiang City, he also had a three-room brick house in his hometown.

Now it’s empty with no one living in it.

“Xiao Xue, what do you want that for? It’s not worth much, and you can’t sell it anyway.”

Chu Xue had a gentle smile on her lips, but her eyes were filled with cunning.

“Aren’t I worrying about you? With your conditions, if I ask you for that two-story house, you won’t be able to part with it!”

In fact, her elder brother, a village captain, had recently received some news that the area was going to be redeveloped. Chen Lin’s old house was going to be included in the plan and would be compensated for.

“It’s been so long since they said they were going to relocate Baitaling, and there’s still no news. If it were relocated, the two-story building could be divided into three small houses. I’d give you one at the time.”

Like most people, Chen Lin didn’t believe in the relocation.

Chu Xue sneered, “Oh, you’re so generous! Don’t talk about relocation being impossible; even if it really happened, would you give me a house? Don’t tell me about things that have no chance of happening. Just say whether or not you’ll give me the three-room brick house in your hometown.”

Chen Lin was a little anxious when Chu Xue brought the topic back to the old house.

“My mom’s keeping an eye on the house; if she finds out, it definitely won’t work…”

Although Jia Xiufang didn’t win Chen Lin’s heart, she was still a good daughter-in-law in front of her mother-in-law. If she found out that Chen Lin had kicked out his original wife, knocked up another woman, and gave away the old house, the old lady would be furious.

“How old are you? You’re almost 50, and you can’t even make a decision about this? Your family’s old house is so shabby that a gust of wind could blow it down; you’re not using it anyway, so why not give it to me? I’ve been with you for so long, and I haven’t gained anything!”

“Didn’t I give you all the money in the passbook?” He had gambled some of it, and the rest had been given to Chu Xue.

Chu Xue said that there was an emergency at home, and her mother was ill, so she needed Chen Lin to give her money. Chen Lin really gave her the money. “You also promised to give me 20,000 yuan; where is it?”

“… Well, isn’t that because Qian’er’s marriage fell through? If she could get married, the money would be there.”

Chu Xue covered her face, whimpering.

“I thought I had found myself a little boss; now you won’t even give me 20,000 yuan. This child has no luck being born. I’m going to find your mom right now, tell her that you’ve gotten me pregnant, and see how the old lady explains it to me!”

“No, you can’t go find the old lady!”

“Either give me the money, or give me the old house; otherwise, I’ll tell your mom!”

As the two were arguing, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

Chen Lin stood up and opened the door; outside was a person in uniform holding an envelope.

“Hello, I am a staff member of the District Court. This is a summons; please sign it.”

“Court…?” Chen Lin was dumbfounded.

Opening the envelope, it turned out to be a red-stamped divorce summons. Chen Lin was at a loss for what to do.

Jia Xiufang… wanted to divorce him?

“Please sign the delivery receipt after verifying your identity.” After the staff member verified Chen Lin’s identity, he asked Chen Lin to sign. At this moment, Chu Xue walked out, not even bothering to wipe her slippers, and took the summons, glancing at it before throwing it on the ground.

“I’m not signing!”

She was more cunning than Chen Lin. Although she didn’t know what exactly was going on, she had a feeling that signing would put her at a disadvantage.

In situations like this, the staff member had seen it all before. “If you don’t sign, I’ll leave it here, and find a witness to sign. Whether you sign or not, it will be considered as delivered. Please note, according to the time on the summons, you should attend the hearing in three days. If you don’t show up, you will be detained.”

After the staff member left, Chen Lin stared blankly at the summons on the ground. How could Jia Xiufang take the initiative to ask for a divorce? And how did she know that he was hiding here?

This feeling was so indescribable.

He had always looked down on his wife, thinking she was just a rural woman, good for nothing, and not even able to fart. Now that she suddenly played her cards, Chen Lin was dumbfounded.

“Isn’t divorce better? Let her go; with her looks, who would want her after the divorce? A miserly old woman, daring to compete with me for a man. If you don’t have the heart to leave her, she will take the initiative to divorce you, a face-giving ungrateful thing.”

Chu Xue sensed that her opportunity might have come, urging Chen Lin to divorce in every possible way.

Chen Lin glared at her, “You have long hair but short knowledge. If she asks for a divorce, what will happen to the house? I will go back and beat her to death; she dared to ask for a divorce! I spit on it, ungrateful!”

Chen Lin stormed off in a rush, and Chu Xue returned to the room, humming a tune and eating sour plums. She also took another contraceptive pill, muttering to herself.

“Hurry up and get a divorce; this thing can’t control my period well, and it’s bad for my health.”

It was in this way that she deceived Chen Lin, with the goal of getting the old house in his hometown. Chen Lin’s divorce, in Chu Xue’s opinion, was a great thing, as it would ensure that she got half of the property. Little did she know that he wouldn’t be able to take a single brick from the house.

Chen Lin hurried home, only to be surprised to find that the house was locked and that there was even a pawn and laundry shop sign posted on the door. There was no one at home.

From morning till night, no one returned. Where had the wicked woman run off to?

Xiao Qian took her mom to the seaside for a walk, even taking her playboy brother with her.

She had already calculated that after Chen Lin received the summons, he would definitely make trouble. She wouldn’t give him the chance.

Being isolated before the trial was the best choice. By the time they returned from their vacation, the divorce would already be an established fact.

Chen Lin waited left and right, but no one returned. With the summons in his pocket, he suddenly realized that he could no longer control the situation.

While Chen Lin was anxious, Xiao Qian was on vacation. The blue sea and golden sands were beautiful; if it weren’t for that man who suddenly appeared and angrily made himself known, it would have been perfect..
