Chapter 817: That is a different price

"Zheng Hong!"

The old lady anxiously stood up, walked over, and grabbed Zheng Hong. "What are you saying? You two are an old married couple; wouldn't it be a laughingstock to divorce at this age? Think about Taotao!"

"Mom!" Zheng Hong looked at the old lady and said calmly, "It is precisely because I have always been thinking about Taotao that I have managed to hold on until today. Your son cannot change; he will be this kind of person for his whole life. I cannot let him drag me down into the mud. I have to think about Taotao."

"Taotao is taking the college entrance exam this year. He will definitely get into a school far away. Once he leaves, I will have absolutely no support left in this home."

"That won't do, Zheng Hong. You cannot divorce. If you leave, what will happen to Shen Chengcheng?" The old lady was so anxious she was about to cry.

Zheng Hong glanced at Shen Chengcheng and discovered that her heart was completely calm. At this moment, it was fully confirmed that she had long since lost all feelings for Shen Chengcheng.

"I can no longer worry about what will happen to him in the future. I have to consider myself and Taotao."

"Zheng Hong, don't you regret this. If you divorce me, you won't be able to find anyone else!" Driven by male pride, Shen Chengcheng couldn't say a single soft word; he wanted to use intimidation to force Zheng Hong to change her mind.

After all, Zheng Hong was already over forty and no longer possessed her youthful beauty.

But Zheng Hong's heart had gone completely cold. "Then I won't look. For so many years, I have been the only one supporting this family. Without you, Taotao and I will only live better."

As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Jingjing. "I admire Big Sister. She can live so brilliantly on her own and raise her child to be a success. Even if I can't reach Big Sister's level, I certainly won't do too poorly!"

"Taotao, persuade your mother." The old lady looked at her grandson and then at the others. "All of you, help persuade her!"

But Taotao said nothing; in his heart, he was the one who most supported his mother's divorce.

Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying were the same, especially Shen Jingjing. If marriage was a quagmire, she would not persuade any woman to stay in it.

The whole family knew what kind of character her younger brother had. The fifty yuan lost in gambling was the final straw that broke Zheng Hong.

It wasn't a straw.

It was the house beam collapsing.

Seeing that no one was helping to persuade her, Shen Chengcheng's temper flared up instantly.

No one is persuading her, right?

Fine!

"Divorce, then let's divorce!"

He kicked a stool away and stormed out in a rage.

The old lady stomped her feet in anxiety, and Shen Jingjing hurriedly stepped forward to help her away.

Wang Chunyan, as the eldest sister-in-law, finally stepped forward and said, "Zheng Hong, words spoken in anger don't count. No matter what, it's been so many years. Go back, get a good night's sleep, and calm down. You'll be fine when you wake up tomorrow."

"Sister-in-law, I am very calm." Zheng Hong looked at Wang Chunyan. There was no lack of scheming between sisters-in-law on ordinary days, but at this moment, there were no impurities in Zheng Hong's heart. "It's just that from now on, you'll have to work hard to manage this household alone."

Xiao Min had left.

She was leaving too.

Among the men of the Shen family, there wasn't a single one who could be relied upon.

Returning to the hotel that evening, Shen Ci and her mother and aunt packed their luggage. The three of them didn't seem to have much of a reaction to the fact that Shen Chengcheng was about to get a divorce.

After a long while, Shen Yingying couldn't help but speak up: "Can they really divorce? I think it's unlikely. Can Chengcheng survive without Zheng Hong?"

For so many years, Shen Chengcheng had no steady job; Zheng Hong had been the one working hard to earn money. Any savings she managed to scrape together would be taken by Shen Chengcheng to squander, yet he never succeeded in anything.

"I think Zheng Hong is serious. If she really wants to divorce, it won't matter if Chengcheng is unwilling," Shen Jingjing said.

Shen Chengcheng had been without a steady job for years and also gambled. If Zheng Hong filed for a litigated divorce, it was highly probable that the court would grant it.

Early the next morning, the three of them had to rush to the airport.

The eldest brother had to go to work, and none of them expected Shen Chengcheng to come and drive them, so Shen Ci had booked a car in advance. ===== CHAPTER 818 =====
