A '70s Flash Marriage: Raising Cubs, Making Millions

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Chen Xiu Really Got Divorced

”Hehe, Chen Xiu, did you hear that? My two great sons don’t want you.” Li Si felt like he had won the whole world, extremely proud.

Everyone present could see how forced Li Sen and Li Lei’s smiles were. The two children were clearly speaking sarcastically, but only Li Si was immersed in the joy of victory.

”Do you really want to stay with your father? No regrets?” Liu Hongjun patted Li Lei’s head and asked.

”Yes.” Li Lei nodded. ”Mom’s cooking isn’t good, she can’t read, and she always hits us. We don’t like mom at all. Dad is the best; he brings us delicious food and never hits us.”

Li Lei gritted his teeth as he spoke, while Li Si became even more proud. The hearts of the adults present grew heavier.

”Stone, you don’t have to do this...” Chen Xiu saw the reluctance in her son’s eyes, and her heart ached.

Liu Hongjun sighed. Li Lei was using his own way to protect Chen Xiu.

”I’m just telling the truth.” Li Lei said loudly, and after speaking, he pulled Li Sen and ran back to their room. ”We don’t want to stay with mom, we want to stay with dad!”

”Fine! Then divorce it is.” Li Si, in a great mood, arrogantly spoke to Chen Hong.

Chen Hong rolled her eyes and shook her head. She took out the documents for Li Si and Chen Xiu to sign.

”Are you sure you want to divorce? Once it’s stamped, there’s no going back.” Chen Hong reminded.

”Hahaha, what would I regret? Chen Xiu, didn’t you see? My two great sons, they are indeed from the Li Family, good sons.” Li Si sneered sarcastically, eyes full of pride and contempt.

Even though she raised the children, they were not close to her, ultimately choosing him, their father.

Truly clever sons.

”These are the divorce papers. Take these to the local office, and you can transfer your household registration back.” Chen Hong handed the documents to Chen Xiu and comfortingly patted her.

Chen Xiu’s eyes were red as she looked at the divorce certificate. She had finally ended this suffocating marriage.

”Chen Hao, go inside and pack.” Li Yanan hugged Chen Xiu and instructed Chen Hao to pack up.

Before entering the house, Li Lei and Li Sen came out with a bag.

”These are all your things. We’ve packed them for you. Hurry up and go back to your village.” Li Lei said heartlessly, while Chen Xiu’s eyes reddened.

”Hahaha, good sons, truly remarkable.” Li Si laughed even louder.

Liu Hongjun clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to punch him.

Li Yanan and Chen Hao glanced at Li Lei and Li Sen, and Chen Hao picked up the package from the ground.

”Let’s go, girl, come home with us.” As Li Yanan passed by Li Si, she kicked him down viciously, then left with the pale-faced Chen Xiu.

After Chen Xiu left, Liu Hongjun couldn’t bear to look at Li Si’s foolish face anymore and turned to leave with Chen Hong.

”Don’t worry, Dad will bring you food from the kitchen. My two good sons will never go hungry!” Li Si was like a peacock that had won a war, full of pride.

Chen Xiu was dejected. Her two sons didn’t choose her. She knew they were speaking sarcastically, and her heart ached even more for the two children.

”Don’t feel bad, don’t waste the effort of these two good kids.” Li Yanan and Chen Hao saw that the kids were intentionally staying with Li Si so as not to burden Chen Xiu.

”...Yes.” Chen Xiu naturally knew.

The papers were signed, and everything was finalized. It was all over, no turning back.

The three of them carried their things and walked out.

”Sister Chen Xiu.” Fu Xiaoxiao’s voice sounded nearby, and Li Yanan was taken aback. ”Little girl.”

”Get in the car quickly, I’ve arranged for Lu Feng to take you to the station.” Fu Xiaoxiao waved to them. Lu Feng was already in the car, waiting for them to get in.

”Isn’t this a bit much trouble?” Chen Hao’s eyes widened, not expecting to ever sit in such a machine in his life. Though he said it was troublesome, his body had already placed the baggage in the car, and he climbed up himself.

Li Yanan gave Chen Hao a sidelong glance.

”Thank you.” She turned back to Fu Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng earnestly.

”Sister Chen Xiu, rest assured! I’ll keep an eye on Stone and Wood for you. Remember to write to me when you get home, and I’ll tell you about the kids.” Fu Xiaoxiao, having heard Li Lei and Li Sen’s words, knew Chen Xiu was most worried about the children.

”Sister, I’m really, so grateful to you.” Chen Xiu choked up looking at Fu Xiaoxiao. With Fu Xiaoxiao taking care of Stone and Wood, she felt much more at ease.

”We thought we’d at most give him a lesson, but we didn’t expect him to say such things.” Fu Xiaoxiao, Chen Xiu, and Li Yanan all thought that Li Si just had a bad temper but was essentially good-hearted, yet they didn’t know him well enough. Li Si dared to use the kids to threaten Chen Xiu.

Such a man is indeed terrifying.

”Divorce it is, so be it. Mom can support you.” Li Yanan patted Chen Xiu’s shoulder, and even if her daughter never got remarried, she wouldn’t drive her away. ”Home is home, it’s your home for life.”

”Mom.” Chen Xiu hugged Li Yanan and burst into tears.

”Cry, cry it all out! Let out all the grievances from these years, and you’ll be free afterward.” Li Yanan’s eyes were full of pity for Chen Xiu, though she was not accustomed to showing affection, she awkwardly patted Chen Xiu.

”Little girl, when I get back, I’ll send you something good to eat. Don’t be hard on yourself either.” Li Yanan looked at Fu Xiaoxiao and reached out to her.

Fu Xiaoxiao reached out and grasped her hand, feeling the strength in it, she smiled lightly.

”Don’t worry, I definitely won’t wrong myself. If he makes me suffer, I’ll leave him and come to you.” Fu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

”Don’t even think about it. If you dare run, I’ll break your legs.” At Fu Xiaoxiao’s words, Lu Feng snorted coldly, run away?

”You’re being mean to me?” Fu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes, in disbelief. ”You actually want to break my legs?”

”...I was wrong.” Lu Feng stiffened, immediately apologizing without another word.

Li Yanan noticed the flirtation between the two and joked. ”Alright, alright, I’m too old to watch this lovey-dovey stuff, hurry up and leave.”

Lu Feng slowly started the vehicle, and Chen Xiu leaned out, calling out loudly to Fu Xiaoxiao.

”Xiaoxiao, wait for me, I’ll write you as soon as I get back.”

Fu Xiaoxiao stood by the vehicle, waving goodbye to Chen Xiu.

”I’ll wait for your letter.”

After Chen Xiu left, Fu Xiaoxiao walked back home, only to see Stone and Wood sitting disconsolately in the courtyard.

”Silly kids.” Fu Xiaoxiao went over and gently hugged the two children. ”You were very brave, protecting your mom.”

Even if the price might be never seeing her again.

”My brother told me yesterday, we can’t drag mom down, grandma’s conditions aren’t good, so we stay here.” Li Sen leaned into Fu Xiaoxiao’s arms, and with a choked voice, spoke to her.

”You are both good children. If Li Si isn’t around and you’re hungry, come to me! I promised your mom I’d take good care of you when she’s not here.” Fu Xiaoxiao softly assured them.

”Why are you crying? It’s not like there’s no way. If you want to be with your mom, it’s easy! However you annoyed your mom before, now annoy your dad the same way, drive him crazy.” Lu Lin, who was doing homework nearby, said in a calm tone.
