Chapter 518: It's So Late, What Kind of Madness Is This?

~4 min read 740 words

After settling the phone bill, the party secretary told them to leave first.

After Liu Chuxue and Fu Yan Cheng came out of the brigade office, she deliberately took a detour toward Liu Shuqin's house; even from a distance, she heard Liu Shuqin's voice: "I warn you, stay away from me."

But Cheng Laizi wouldn't listen to her: "We've already got our marriage certificate, and your father is waiting to hold a grandson. If you won't let me get close, how can there be a grandson?"

Liu Shuqin was nearly going mad; she jumped off the kang, slipped into her shoes, and rushed out of the room.

Then she barged straight into her parents' room: "Are you really forcing me? Is it only if I die that you'll be satisfied?"

Peng Ailan, who had been in the middle of cultivating a mood with Liu Quanwen, was startled by her daughter's outburst.

After the two quickly separated, Peng Ailan, somewhat angry, said: "It's so late; what kind of madness is this?"

Liu Shuqin's tears fell with a pitter-patter: "So you think I'm going mad, right? Fine, I'll show you mad."

Saying this, she glanced around, pulled the door bolt from behind the door, and started smashing things all over the room.

The couple never expected their daughter to do such a thing; by the time they reacted and jumped off the kang to stop her, the room was already nearly wrecked: "You really have gone mad."

Seeing Liu Shuqin's eyes red from smashing, Peng Ailan rushed up and slapped her daughter: "You brought this situation upon yourself by doing something foolish; who can you blame?"

"Liu Shuqin, let me tell you, you two already have your marriage certificate."

"This matter is as solid as iron; no matter how much you make a scene, you are still his wife."

Hearing the smashing sounds, Cheng Laizi quickly put on his clothes and shoes and ran over. Seeing the situation inside the room, he too grew angry: "Liu Shuqin, have you made enough of a scene? Since you look down on me, Cheng Yongfu, then tomorrow we'll go get a divorce."

That's right; "Laizi" was merely a nickname people gave him.

Hearing these words, Liu Quanwen quickly came out to smooth things over: "Yongfu, she just hasn't turned the corner yet. You've already got your certificate; how can you just talk about divorce?"

"They've been married for quite some time now, but no matter how much she's been talked to, Liu Shuqin simply won't let him get close. Even if he's a coward, he has his temper: 'You've seen it yourself; she doesn't want me. A forcibly twisted melon isn't sweet. I think we should just give up.'"

Liu Quanwen stared at Cheng Laizi, thinking: What is this fellow up to? Is he retreating to advance, or does he truly want a divorce?

Peng Ailan's head was throbbing terribly at this moment; if it weren't that she truly couldn't bear children, she would have given up on this daughter.

"I really can't understand what my daughter is thinking. Even if you're unwilling, now that your purity is gone, which good family would let you in as a daughter-in-law?"

She thought that rather than letting her suffer in someone else's home, it was better to keep her in this family. Although Cheng Laizi was good-for-nothing, it wasn't because his mother spoiled him; if someone guided him properly, he surely wouldn't turn out too bad. But ever since she returned with the marriage certificate, her daughter hadn't had a single peaceful day.

Seeing her daughter about to open her mouth and speak harshly again, she said: "Liu Shuqin, think carefully before you speak. If you won't listen to your father and me, then we won't bother with you anymore."

Liu Shuqin saw her mother wasn't joking, and she had calmed down by now: "Not divorcing is fine, but you can't force me. After all, he isn't my ideal type of man. Give me some time."

Having finished speaking, she turned and left the room.

Seeing his daughter leave, Liu Quanwen waved at Cheng Laizi: "It's getting late; you should go back and rest. She hasn't accepted reality yet; be a bit more patient with her."

Knowing that Liu Shuque was living an unhappy life made her feel relieved.

Without stopping, she walked straight out through the alley ahead and arrived at the Liu family's old residence.
