The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1186 - 1155: The Consequences of Pretending to Be Confused
Chapter 1186: Chapter 1155: The Consequences of Pretending to Be Confused
Although Yuan Hua was very upset, she still managed to speak out after careful consideration.
In this marriage, she couldn’t feel love, and her daughter was growing up in a terrible family environment, which was very bad, so Yuan Hua didn’t want to endure it anymore.
"Yuan Hua, what are you saying? We’re fine, why should we get divorced?" Zhu Zhitao said, "If you are upset about something, just tell me, and we can work it out together. We shouldn’t get a divorce."
Yuan Hua looked at Zhu Zhitao, and her eyes were full of disappointment.
"Do you really not know how wronged I feel inside? Do you not know how wronged Xiao Xiao feels?" Yuan Hua said coldly, "You know everything, but you pretend not to, making me and our daughter suffer for the sake of your parents."
Zhu Zhitao was somewhat embarrassed and awkward, his voice dropping a bit as he spoke, "But they are my parents, I can’t just kick them out!"
"I might be an outsider to you, and you might not care about me, but what about Xiao Xiao? She is your own daughter. How do you treat her? How do your parents treat her?" Yuan Hua sneered, "You know everything; you’re just playing dumb. Today, my dad was out for just one day, and when he came back in the evening, your mom actually made Xiao Xiao stand outside as a punishment, accusing her of stealing food. When has our family ever lacked food, for your mother to treat my daughter like this!"
Zhu Zhitao’s face turned pale; he understood why Yuan Hua was angry. Xiao Xiao was Yuan Hua’s soft spot.
His parents had gone too far this time.
"But that’s no reason to get a divorce. If you and I divorce, won’t Xiao Xiao end up as a child from a single-parent family?" Zhu Zhitao said, "I’ll talk to my mom when we go back, make her treat Xiao Xiao better."
"It’s too late," Yuan Hua said, "I am already disappointed in you. I gave you many chances, but you never took them seriously. I don’t want to argue in front of the child when she’s not feeling well. Just leave. If you have any conscience, look at the home videos, and you’ll understand why I’m saying this."
Zhu Zhitao was saddened, but his daughter was still receiving IV drips, how could he leave?
Today, no matter what, he had to take both the elderly and Xiao Xiao home.
Yuan Hua returned to see that Xiao Xiao’s IV drip was almost done and called a nurse over.
After removing the needle, Yuan Hua picked up the child and stood up to leave.
"Let me carry the child," Zhu Zhitao said, feeling guilty, "After all, the child isn’t light, don’t tire yourself out."
"No need, I’ll comfort my own daughter myself," Yuan Hua said, then left with the child in her arms.
Zhu Zhitao looked at Father Yuan, but Father Yuan shook his head in disappointment and followed his daughter, carrying the things and leaving.
Zhu Zhitao looked at Yuan Hua’s departing figure, feeling a mix of heartache and panic.
Yuan Hua directly placed the child on the back seat of the car, Father Yuan hugged the sleeping child, and closed the car door.
By the time Zhu Zhitao caught up, Yuan Hua had already started the car and was ready to leave.
"Yuan Hua, come home with me," Zhu Zhitao said, scared that once Yuan Hua left, she wouldn’t return home.
Yuan Hua looked at Zhu Zhitao and said, "Go back and tell your parents not to touch my things at home; I’ve already taken photos. Don’t even think about clearing out my house."
After saying that, Yuan Hua drove off, ignoring Zhu Zhitao behind her.
Seeing Yuan Hua leave, Zhu Zhitao also felt a bit annoyed. Why couldn’t he pacify her?
Thinking of Yuan Hua’s last words, Zhu Zhitao felt his face heat up, his parents indeed often took things from their home to his younger brother’s house.
Yuan Hua had not noticed anything missing in the house, but on his last visit to his younger brother’s place, he found quite a few items that looked familiar.
For example, the antique vase, the landscape painting on the wall, and... and the screen that Yuan Hua liked so much...
The most horrifying thing was that when Zhu Zhitao returned home, he discovered that the TV in the living room was gone...
There was no need to think about it, the TV had ended up at his brother’s place too.
He knew all this, yet he still did not speak up.
Yuan Hua did not say anything, and he assumed that Yuan Hua did not care, but in fact, Yuan Hua remembered everything and was waiting for him to speak.
But he said nothing!
Alas, he hurried to follow and see where Yuan Hua was going.
Zhu Zhitao followed by car and saw Yuan Hua’s car enter the Jin Hua Residential Area; they seemed to have an apartment there. Seeing Yuan Hua holding the child and going upstairs, he felt relieved and left.
When Zhu Zhitao got home, he saw his parents cracking sunflower seeds and watching TV, completely unconcerned about Xiao Xiao.
"Back already?" Father Zhu asked, "Is Xiao Xiao feeling better now?"
"He was given an IV, his fever has gone down," Zhu Zhitao replied, looking at his parents.
"Where is she?" Mother Zhu said, "Do I really have to go outside to greet them?"
Seeing his son’s displeased expression, Father Zhu quickly pulled his wife aside and said, "Don’t listen to your mother, come on, let’s go see Xiao Xiao."
Mother Zhu looked impatient, but seeing her husband’s insistence, she did not speak.
Zhu Zhitao looked at his parents, feeling very disappointed and angry. Suppressing the misery in his heart, he said, "Yuan Hua has moved to another place and won’t be coming back today."
"What?" Mother Zhu scoffed. "Not coming back? Even better, I’ll have the younger brother’s family move in tomorrow. Don’t forget to tell her, I have ways to deal with her. And that father, his daughter has been married for several years, and he still lives in his daughter’s house. He really has a thick skin."
Hearing his mother’s words, Zhu Zhitao’s expression grew even uglier.
Seeing his son like this, Father Zhu scolded, "Shut your mouth, what are you babbling about!"
"I can’t believe this is how you treat Yuan Hua and Xiao Xiao. Mom, I am your son! You like my younger brother so much, why don’t you go live with him? You’ve been moving things to his place bit by bit, and we turn a blind eye and say nothing. You even mistreat Xiao Xiao. Not to mention Yuan Hua being unhappy, I am not pleased either. The younger brother is your son, and I am also your son. Aren’t you afraid of breaking my heart by treating me this way...?"
Mother Zhu was stunned, not expecting her usually compliant son to speak to her like this. She immediately got angry and said, "You... you ungrateful thing, having a wife means you forget your mother..."
Father Zhu was also taken aback, not expecting his wife to react like this, feeling a bit embarrassed.
If it had been the old days, Zhu Zhitao would have admitted his fault, but today he was just too angry.
"Yuan Hua has already notified the lawyer to prepare the divorce papers. I expect they’ll be in my hands tomorrow," Zhu Zhitao said coldly. "Mom, your son is about to lose his wife and child. Are you satisfied now, happy now?"
"A divorce?" Mother Zhu exclaimed. "How dare she? How dare she?"
"What’s there not to dare? You eat and use what Yuan Hua earns. My four hundred a month cannot provide you with such a good material life," Zhu Zhitao retorted sarcastically, feeling very distressed at the thought of the divorce.
He really liked Yuan Hua and hoped to live a good life together with Yuan Hua.
