Chapter 712: Everything for the Child 1

Shi Youxuan's eyes lit up, and she hopped off the bed with a "whoosh."

"Hubby, do you have a way to help me get a degree?"

Sheng Hanyu:...

What kind of solution is this?

He felt his wife was being stubborn; why was she so fixated on a degree and unable to let it go?

"No, there's no way to get a degree, but we can send Zichen to a different kindergarten."

Shi Youxuan:...

She instantly felt like a deflated balloon, dejectedly returning to sit back down while holding Zai Zai.

If another kindergarten would do, she wouldn't be worrying like this.

The International Bilingual Kindergarten is the best kindergarten in this city, bar none.

But because the admission requirements are strict, many children are screened out.

Moreover, the principal is impartial; no matter how much money you spend, it's useless if you don't meet the admission criteria.

That night.

Shi Youxuan lay on the bed, tossing and turning like a pancake.

It disturbed Sheng Hanyu so he couldn't sleep well either.

"Snap!"

The light turned on.

Shi Youxuan sat up, staring straight at her husband: "Hanyu, let's get a divorce."

Sheng Hanyu:...

"Are you crazy?"

He was a bit angry and didn't even turn his head: "You can only be a widow; don't even think about divorce, don't think about it for the rest of your life."

Shi Youxuan explained: "No, I don't mean a real divorce, let's have a fake divorce."

"Hey, turn around and listen to me."

She grabbed her husband's shoulders, forcing him to turn around.

But he reached out with his large hand, pulled her into his arms, and turned off the light.

"Go to sleep, don't think about such a beautiful thing as divorce, I won't agree to it whether it's real or fake!"

Shi Youxuan grew anxious: "Why are you so dogmatic? Can't you just listen to me properly?"

"Not listening. If you like another man, I'll break his legs."

Shi Youxuan:...

Where did that even come from?

She kicked her husband hard, but didn't kick him off the bed, and instead hurt her own foot.

"I'm talking to you about a serious matter, can you be more earnest? There is no other man; I just want Zichen to go to the best kindergarten."

Shi Youxuan had a "good plan."

She wanted to have a fake divorce with her husband, then hire a woman with a master's degree to have a fake marriage with him; that way, they would be parents with double master's degrees, and Zichen would be qualified to enter the international kindergarten.

After the child was enrolled normally, she would have her husband divorce that woman and then remarry each other.

Sheng Hanyu listened with a furrowed brow, then shook his head like a rattle-drum: "No, I don't agree."

Shi Youxuan was furious: "Isn't this for the child's sake? I don't even mind, why don't you agree?"

Sheng Hanyu also sat up and said earnestly to his wife face-to-face: "You're thinking too simply. Divorce and marriage aren't things that are finished just by moving your lips. Think about it, even if I agreed to our divorce and then found a woman with a master's degree to marry me."

"What if she doesn't want to divorce after Zichen gets into kindergarten?"

Shi Youxuan:...

She really hadn't thought of that.

Shi Youxuan: "We give her more money?"

"What if that woman takes a liking to me?" Sheng Hanyu asked.

She stared at her husband carefully for a moment—his face, though no longer young, was still handsome!

His features were firm, and his eyes were like deep pools of water, clear yet bottomless.

Just one look was enough to get lost in his gaze.

Sheng Hanyu was at the perfect age where he radiated masculine charm, and Shi Youxuan hesitated.

Indeed, her man was too outstanding; if she "let him out," there really was a chance she wouldn't be able to get him back!

But she still wouldn't give up: "I'll sign an agreement with that woman. I can give money, but my man cannot be touched."

Sheng Hanyu: "What if I'm willing?"

"Thump—"

He was kicked off the bed.

Sheng Hanyu rubbed his arm as he climbed up from the floor: "You woman, I was just joking, why did you suddenly get so worked up?"

"Joking? Can you joke about anything? Sheng Hanyu, are you stupid or do you really have a wandering heart?"

She had been the one to bring up the topic, but now she felt very aggrieved.

Shi Youxuan's tears fell down in torrents.

"Sheng Hanyu, are you tired of me? Do you want a young, beautiful woman? That's right, with your status and looks, there must be many women throwing themselves at you... I'm a haggard old woman now, it's only natural that you don't like me..."

Sheng Hanyu:...

"Can you be reasonable? You were the one who proposed the fake divorce, and now you're acting more aggrieved than anyone. Wife, you can't be like this."

"I don't care, I'm just like this!"

The couple barely slept all night.

The next morning, they walked into the living room with panda eyes, and their mother-in-law was startled.

"Did you two have a fight?"

Both of their expressions were unpleasant, so she assumed they had argued.

The two shook their heads and said in unison, "No."

This sort of thing was not a secret, so Shi Youxuan explained it to her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law also opposed it: "A fake divorce won't do; there are too many complications. Actually, it's not just about the degree requirements; there is another method we could use."

"What method?" Shi Youxuan's eyes lit up instantly.

Wang Yinghao said: "Three percent of the spots at this kindergarten are reserved for impoverished households, but almost no children from impoverished households are willing to go. We just need our family to be an impoverished household."

The reason why no impoverished households are willing to go is simple.

Although tuition is waived, the high cost of meals and the fees for participating in various interest classes are a massive expense.

This is money that no impoverished household can afford.

"No need."

Sheng Hanyu dropped these three words and left for work, not even eating breakfast at home.

Although her husband said there was no need.

Shi Youxuan felt it was very necessary!

She and her mother-in-law "conspired" at home about how to turn their family into an impoverished household.

Shi Youxuan: "Mom, what do you think about us filing for bankruptcy?"

Wang Yinghao: "I think that works."

Sheng Jiang was just about to leave for work when he inadvertently heard the mother and daughter-in-law talking and stopped: "What works? Do you two not think about how many families would be affected if our family went bankrupt?"

The mother and daughter-in-law thought about it; bankruptcy would not work.

Dingsheng Group has tens of thousands of employees in Jiangzhou alone.

Behind those tens of thousands of employees are tens of thousands of families.

Just because a child needs to go to kindergarten, making the company "go bankrupt" would cause too much of a stir, and Sheng Hanyu would never agree to it.

Since the "bankruptcy" path was a dead end, Shi Youxuan had to think of another way.

They thought of many methods.

Later, they still decided to go down the "impoverished household" path.

Fang Jie has a friend whose family is an impoverished household, and she is honest and reliable.

They could transfer Sheng Zichen's household registration to her home.

Zhang Ma also knows this person.

The woman is named Xiao Ya; she used to work for the Sheng Family, but later stopped because of poor health.

She is the only one in her family.

Shi Youxuan excitedly hugged her mother-in-law: "Mom, let's do it this way. We'll transfer it back after Zichen gets into the kindergarten."

"Good, this is a good idea."

Her mother-in-law agreed.

Both the mother and daughter-in-law agreed, but there was still one drawback.

Xiao Ya once had a daughter who died of leukemia at the age of three!

Her mental state became unstable due to excessive grief, and whenever she sees a three or four-year-old girl, she thinks it is her own child.

Later, her husband divorced her and ran off with another woman, and she has been living alone in a dilapidated little house in misery.

Both of them hesitated a little.

There are mental health issues; they were both a bit afraid.

Although Fang Jie said Xiao Ya has recovered, mental illnesses are easy to relapse. Even though it would only be for half a month, what if there is danger?

However, there was no one more suitable than Xiao Ya.

Shi Youxuan: "How about this, let's go over and take a look."

Her mother-in-law agreed: "Okay."
