Chapter 307: Divorce Right Away

Yu Wanrong does not approve of her husband's words.

"You're not wrong to want stability; we've been wandering outside for so many years, and we truly deserve stability, but you must know, if we really want to settle down, we still have to get along well with the Qin Family."

Lin Zhenfeng, unconcerned, trimmed the grape vines: "Don't worry, the organization will arrange a job for me."

"Arranging a job for you is certainly no problem, but the issue is, Restoration to Former Post? Or being transferred elsewhere? That's hard to say!"

"But if we become in‑laws with the Qin Family, and Old Qin acts as a go‑between, you might have a good chance of being promoted."

Lin Zhenfeng stopped trimming: "I understand what you're saying; the organization hasn't assigned me work for a while, which surely gives them reservations about me, but becoming in‑laws with the Qin Family is already an impossible thing."

Yu Wanrong had nothing to say; she has only this one daughter, who is already married and has married into the Lu family, so how could she become in‑laws with the Qin Family again? She can't possibly have the two divorce, can she?

Thinking of this, Yu Wanrong's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, Lao Lin, I know what Old Qin means now."

"What meaning?"

"He wants our daughter to divorce, then have us become in‑laws with him—yes, that's the meaning."

Realizing this, Yu Wanrong suddenly became excited.

Lin Zhenfeng, a bit incredulous, said: "Impossible, right?"

"Why not? You didn't hear him say that Shou Sheng still has feelings for our Yan Yan; he still wants to marry our Yan Yan."

Lin Zhenfeng came down from the ladder, tossed the scissors onto the stone table, unbuttoned his clothes, and said: "Even if that's the case, Shou Sheng still has feelings for Yan Yan, but we still can't really let Yan Yan divorce; she's already taken the marriage certificate with Lu Cheng, and divorcing again would be what a story."

"Why can't we divorce? I have absolutely no regard for your Lu‑surname son‑in‑law; what is his status? A Junior Police Officer, which is just Section Staff level; I can't believe he has such nerve to marry our Yan Yan."

"He just thinks we're not in the Capital City, sees Yan Yan alone and easy to bully, maybe used some rotten scheme to win her over; you don't know, this kid is full of tricks, back then he was just a street loafer."

"Alright, alright," Lin Zhenfeng glanced at the inner courtyard: "Lower your voice a bit, don't let the daughter hear it."

"I don't need to speak softly; I'm stating facts. Just wait, the Qin Family came today, and more will come later; they inevitably will ask about your son‑in‑law, and when you go to introduce him, I can't say it," Yu Wanrong turned her body away.

"Fine, fine, it's not as terrible as you say. These years Yan Yan has indeed had it tough alone; Lu Cheng gave help. Moreover, I could return thanks to Lu Cheng's assistance, so from that perspective, we can't divorce him either."

"His help is undeniable; now that the flood has passed, he merely ran errands and submitted some documents. Without his submission, someone else could have done the same."

Lin Zhenfeng knew his spouse was like this; the more she talked, the more she got worked up, so he simply took off his clothes and focused on trimming the grape vines.

"Hey, stop trimming that broken grape vine; I'm telling you something serious, what's your opinion?" Yu Wanrong looked up at her husband.

"I have no opinion; I'll listen to our daughter."

"You..." Yu Wanrong, angry, said: "You only have a daughter's heart; there's no me in your eyes. I've endured these years of suffering with you for nothing."

Lin Zhenfeng, while trimming the grape vines, laughed: "Then I have only this precious daughter; I must certainly follow Yan Yan's opinion."

Yu Wanrong took a deep breath: "Fine, telling you is useless, so I'll go talk to our daughter!"

Standing on the wooden ladder, Lin Zhenfeng glanced and sighed helplessly.

In a bedroom of the side house, Lin Qingyan was tidying the room.

Yu Wanrong entered and pulled her daughter to the bedside: "Alright, Yan Yan, stop tidying up; when your dad gets his job back, he'll definitely reassign the house, and since we won't be living here, there's no need to tidy so well. Come sit with Mom and chat."

Mother and daughter sat on the bedside, hand in hand.

After waiting so many years, the family finally reunited, and Lin Qingyan felt very happy.

"Mom."

Seeing her daughter's gaunt figure, Yu Wanrong couldn't help feeling heartbroken.

"Yan Yan, these years have made you suffer; from now on our family will be together and won't go through such days again."

Lin Qingyan lightly nodded, smiling: "It's Mom and Dad who suffered; I'm fine, having Lu Cheng's care..."

Hearing that name, Yu Wanrong hurriedly interrupted: "Don't mention him to me."

Lin Qingyan immediately became somewhat aggrieved; Mom and Dad have been back for a few days, and whenever she tries to bring up Lu Cheng and speak his praises, her mother always has this attitude.

"Mom... you won't let me mention him, but I will! Anyway, Lu Cheng isn't as you think; he's doing well now."

"He's good? We've been back for days and haven't seen him come by to check on us."

"I know that; Uncle Lu's family is preparing the wedding, they've been busy, and once ready they'll definitely visit. Moreover, Uncle Lu's family helped us a lot, so when they visit, we should be the ones to go first to thank them."

Yu Wanrong opened her mouth, but the retort she was about to say got swallowed.

"Fine, who visits first doesn't matter; our family doesn't need to keep score with an ordinary civilian family!"

Mom asks you, you and that Lu‑surname boy have been married a year, why haven't we seen you have children?

Bringing this up, Lin Qingyan's face involuntarily flushed.

"I... I and Lu Cheng still haven't..."

Seeing her daughter's shy expression, Yu Wanrong's face was briefly surprised, then turned to delight.

"You and that Lu‑surname... haven't consummated the marriage?"

"Mom..."

Seeing her daughter even more shy, Yu Wanrong laughed: "Oh, it's fine; you're not a child anymore. When the man is grown he marries, when the woman is grown she marries. As someone who's been through it, Mom can give you some experience."

Lin Qingyan, shy, lowered her head: "I told you, Lu Cheng is great; we have taken the certificate, but because we didn't hold a wedding, Lu Cheng hasn't touched me; he respects me a lot."

As for the two times they kissed before, Lin Qingyan didn't have the courage to mention it.

Every time she recalled those two kisses, Lin Qingyan couldn't help feeling angry; it was such a romantic thing, yet Lu Cheng forced it on her, with no feeling at all.

Yu Wanrong didn't know what her daughter was thinking; she only knew the daughter remained pure, and that was truly wonderful.

"Heh, I really didn't see it; that Lu‑surname kid is actually sensible, he didn't take advantage of the situation to bully you. On that point, I must praise him."

Lin Qingyan thought her mother had finally changed her impression of Lu Cheng; she was just about to be happy, but Yu Wanrong immediately followed with another remark.

"That's perfect; we're still a maiden's family, Shou Sheng won't have any objections, so just go ahead and divorce Lu Cheng right away."
