~11 min read 2,034 words

Zhao Desan had spent two nights with Sister Wu in the ward, and the little nanny had been in the reception room outside, so she naturally heard the movements inside clearly. At this moment, she must have had other thoughts. He smiled, changed the subject, and asked: "Has Shi Piantou's family come to make trouble again?"

Shuangshuang shook her head and said: "No."

The two stood in the corridor outside the high-ranking ward chatting idly. After a while, they heard Vice Governor Lan's voice from the ward: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, Comrade Xiao Zhao?"

Zhao Desan took a look at the little nanny, hurriedly responded with a smile, and walked in quickly. Vice Governor Lan said to him: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, Mayor Wu is going to be discharged today. You hurry and handle the discharge procedures for Mayor Wu, and ask the doctor what other examinations are needed?"

"Hmm, I'll go handle it immediately." Zhao Desan hurriedly agreed and was about to walk out.

Wu Min, however, said: "Forget about the procedures. Governor Lan, you should go back first. You don't know, but soon all the old and young from the family will be here. There won't even be a place to stand in this ward in a while. It's not appropriate for you to stay here."

Vice Governor Lan chuckled and said: "That's true. When the in-laws from both sides come, there will be quite a few people. Then I'll go first. When you are officially discharged, I'll organize a wine party for you to welcome you back, hehe."

Although Wu Min hadn't mentioned divorce again during her hospitalization, she had already made up her mind, and this thought would not change. She couldn't bear to live under the same roof as a coward like Shi Piantou for even a moment longer. Hearing Vice Governor Lan mention the word "in-laws," her face instantly dimmed, and she said with a bitter smile: "Governor Lan, I won't hide it from you, I have already planned to divorce."

Although Vice Governor Lan had had a special feeling for this woman since they went to Hannan City for a meeting together, hearing that she wanted to divorce made him feel a bit surprised, but he couldn't ask about people's privacy. At this moment, seeing Wu Min's pitiful and charming appearance, he truly felt a bit of love in his heart, so he couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Wu, your temper has always been very steady. I felt it was very strange that you were hit by a car this time, how did you come to talk about divorce again? You must have been stimulated by something, right? You can't let it affect your work. The city leaders and provincial leaders all think highly of you as a deputy mayor."

"I... sigh..." Wu Min saw Vice Governor Lan's confused appearance and couldn't help but tell him her inner thoughts. She had always felt that Vice Governor Lan was quite good. She looked at the little nanny who was busy packing luggage in the reception room, and then lowered her voice dejectedly: "Governor Lan, you don't know, maybe it's because I'm too busy with work every day and neglected my home. My husband is not making progress and did something behind my back to let me down with the little nanny at home. If it weren't for the sake of my husband's persuasion, the sake of the children, and the concern for my special status and fear of being laughed at, I would have forgiven him, hoping he could turn over a new leaf. Who knew he actually wouldn't repent, was promiscuous outside, and borrowed my reputation to bully others all day long, seriously affecting my reputation and work. I really can't live with him anymore."

After listening to Wu Min's account, Vice Governor Lan felt compassion in his heart, then looked at Wu Min meaningfully and said: "Xiao Wu, you must think carefully about this divorce matter. You are different from ordinary women. You are the Deputy Mayor of our Xijing City, a person with status and position. If you make a scene about divorce, I'm afraid it won't be good for your influence if such things spread out. You must consider it carefully!"

Wu Min said: "Governor Lan, I understand what you mean, but this time I have considered it for a long time. Even if I don't do this deputy mayor job anymore, I will divorce him!"

Vice Governor Lan didn't expect that the woman he had always thought highly of would actually have such thoughts. He couldn't help but think from her perspective, and he also felt quite helpless. Yes, for a woman who is so bright, moving, and sharp-witted, the more she achieves in her official career, the more her husband's infidelity highlights her failure.

And once a divorce scene is made, those in officialdom who don't like her will instantly create countless rumors, perhaps Shi Piantou's infidelity will be covered up, and Wu Min's high status and dislike for her husband will become a reason for divorce that everyone is more willing to believe. In this way, this woman's political future will inevitably be affected, and his idea of cultivating Wu Min to be his right-hand man will fall through. As a provincial leader who hasn't been in Hexi Province for long, Vice Governor Lan, like any other leader appointed to work elsewhere, wants to cultivate a few trusted subordinates for himself.

"Sigh! This is the tragedy of our Chinese patriarchal society! Every day we are shouting about gender equality, but can it be equal? If a man has some romantic affairs, he can be complacent, and others will think he is quite capable. But if you really make a scene about divorce with him, public opinion is still very unfair to you! Xiao Wu, have you considered it well? It's best to let him repent, find their leaders to talk and warn him..." Vice Governor Lan sighed and said.

"No need, I won't forgive him!" Wu Min said with a firm face, "Governor Lan, I, Wu Min, am not a weak woman who can't live without him. I already gave him a chance and he didn't cherish it. If I tolerate him again, wouldn't I lose even a bit of human dignity? What's more, this time I was so angry that I had a car accident and almost lost my life. I have already made up my mind."

Seeing Wu Min's firm attitude, Vice Governor Lan didn't try to persuade her anymore, but he felt very sympathetic to this woman in his heart. When the two reached this point, the first wave of the Wu family had arrived. Vice Governor Lan chatted with them for a while, saw Zhao Desan had finished the discharge procedures, and then bid them farewell and left the hospital.

Seeing Sister Wu's family had arrived, Zhao Desan didn't linger too long. After greeting Wu Min, he also left the hospital.

Not to mention Wu Min being discharged and going back, but let's talk about Shi Piantou. That day, ever since he was exposed by Wu Min and the little nanny Li Shuangfei to the point of being completely humiliated and having no place to hide, he returned home and, when his parents were blaming each other, he said in a fit of shame and anger: "Dad, Mom, can you stop staring at me? Do you think Wu Min is very innocent? If I didn't have any certainty, would I dare to secretly follow her to the municipal government? Hmph! This time it was also a coincidence, just didn't catch her in the act. I even saw her with my own eyes meeting with Mayor Zhang in a hotel in the middle of the night! And she has been a leader for so many years, how could she not have evidence of corruption and bribery? I have lived with her for ten or twenty years, what about her don't I know? Once she pushes me into a corner, at worst, we will both perish together!"

Hearing his son's "broken pot, broken fall" words, Shi Piantou's father hurriedly scolded him for not being so sinister, and said that since he saw Wu Min meeting with Mayor Zhang, he should have caught her in the act. Since he didn't catch her, he shouldn't bring it up to cause trouble now. As for reporting Wu Min's economic problems, he shouldn't even think about it.

However, Shi Piantou's mother was not so open-minded. Being ridiculed by the Wu family in the hospital made her lose all face, and she was naturally extremely angry in her heart. Hearing her son say this, it was exactly what she wanted. She immediately quarreled with the old man, scolded him for not turning his elbows outward, and said very protectively: "You are still protecting that little firecracker Wu Min! Hmph! Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, she is your daughter-in-law when she lives with your son, but she is an outsider when she doesn't live with your son. How can you be so unclear and side with her? Didn't you see the way the Wu family turned their faces and didn't recognize people? I think we lost the argument this time, divorce is certain. Since that's the case, then just show your cards to them. If they are willing to make concessions on property or children, we will let her go. If she is unwise and doesn't give the children to our Shi family, I will support my son in using her handle to beat her, let her understand that she can't do whatever she wants in this matter. Although our Shi family is not as powerful as their Wu family, if we really confront them, we are not to be trifled with!"

Shi Piantou's father was so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices, but he had never been able to defeat the old lady in his whole life, so he had to sigh and say he wouldn't care about this matter, felt he was sorry for Wu Min's father, and from then on didn't show up, letting the old lady take Shi Piantou to make trouble at the Wu family.

Knowing that today was the day Wu Min was discharged, how could Shi Laotai let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity? After lunch, she took her son Shi Piantou to the City People's Hospital, acting as if nothing had happened. Seeing Wu Min's mother, she enthusiastically stepped forward and said with a smile: "Oh, in-laws, you arrived earlier than us! Is Minmin okay? Then let's go back. After resting well at home, go back to the city to work. I have arranged everything at home, the bed sheets have been changed to new ones, bought back, washed, dried, and spread. I was busy all day yesterday, hehehe..."

Wu Min said coldly: "Thank you for your kindness. I have stayed in the hospital for such a long time, and my work in the city has been delayed quite a bit. I am in a hurry to go to work, I must go to the unit to take a look today."

Shi Piantou hesitated and said: "Even if you go back, you don't need to go today, right? Today is the weekend, go back and rest first, isn't it better to go to the unit to take a look tomorrow?"

Wu Min held her nostrils to the sky and didn't pay attention to Shi Piantou at all, as if she hadn't heard anything. Seeing the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Wu Min's mother immediately smoothed things over and said with a smile: "In-laws, just now I heard Vice Governor Lan from the province say that work has been very busy recently. She has rested for such a long time, it's time to go back to work for them. With her father and me taking care of her, don't bother the in-laws."

Shi Piantou's mother naturally hurriedly said with a smile: "Since the in-laws are going, then I am naturally relieved. Son, then you must take good care of Minmin and your parents-in-law!"
