Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

3. Divorce (2)

Su Jinru plans to explain her divorce from Qi Zhengyang to her child after the divorce is finalized.

She listened to her son recount what he had learned that day, checked his homework, played with the children for a while, and then let the two children go to sleep.

Qi Zhengyang went out; it's unclear where he went.

Su Jinru didn't care about this issue either.

There are two rooms in the house. Since his mother-in-law passed away a year ago, Qi Zhengyang has been sleeping in the room where his parents-in-law used to live.

After that, the couple never slept together again.

Therefore, it makes no difference whether such a man exists or not.

Oh no! Without this man, she has no obligation to raise his older brother's children. She's happy to be free, and she doesn't want to face his cold, disdainful face anymore. So, divorce is a must.

Moreover, only after the divorce will she have the energy to take care of her parents and siblings.

They are her family, the people who truly care about and cherish her.

The next morning, Su Jinru got up early and made some porridge.

While eating porridge, Su Jinru asked, "Qi Zhengyang, do you need to go to the school to hand over some work?"

Qi Zhengyang didn't even look up.

"I already spoke with Teacher Qin last night, and he will cover two of my classes."

Su Jinru also explained, "After having a meal, I'll go to the village chief to ask for leave. There's not much work to do in the team these days, so it's easy to get leave approved."

After breakfast, her son went to school, her daughter was dropped off at daycare, and Su Jinru took the opportunity to ask for leave.

Su Jinru took sick leave.

Whenever someone asked for leave, Captain Jin Gui was always very understanding. This time was no exception. Jin Gui even said with concern, "Aru, if you feel unwell, you should go see a doctor as soon as possible, don't delay."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Jingui."

Jin Gui is three years older than Su Jinru. He has been in love with Su Jinru since childhood, but unfortunately, among the many suitors, Su Ke chose Qi Zhengyang, who loved Su Jinru the least.

Su Jinru would have been happier if she had married any of the suitors other than Qi Zhengyang.

Because all those who proposed marriage admired Su Jinru's beauty, competence, and character.

They genuinely liked Su Jinru. For someone he liked, he would like whatever she did; for someone he didn't like, he wouldn't like anything she did.

Therefore, marrying someone who likes you and marrying someone who doesn't like you are worlds apart.

Su Jinru loved Qi Zhengyang and devoted her whole life to him, but because Qi Zhengyang didn't love her, no matter what she did, she couldn't warm his cold heart.

In the end, she was not only abandoned by him, but also humiliated by him.

Standing at a distance, Qi Zhengyang saw Jin Gui and Su Jinru talking there. Seeing Jin Gui's enthusiasm and smiling face towards Su Jinru, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Previously, he never paid attention to Su Jinru, including who she talked to. Now, he suddenly realized that some men were being so attentive to her.

Su Jinru took leave and walked up to Qi Zhengyang.

"Let's go! I've already asked for leave."

With that, she walked on by herself.

"I knew it! Why were you in such a hurry to get a divorce? Maybe you've already found someone else."

Su Jinru turned her head and glanced at Qi Zhengyang.

"Don't let your own filthy heart make you see everyone else as filthy."

As Qi Zhengyang followed behind, he said, "I heard it's hard for the captain to get leave approved, but you got it approved so easily. Turns out it's an old acquaintance! Look at how obsequious he was to you just now."

Su Jinru snorted coldly.

"Qi Zhengyang, are you jealous?"

Qi Zhengyang instantly lost his temper.

"Jealous? Jealous of you? What a joke. You're a burden I'd love to get rid of as soon as possible."

"If you're not jealous, why are you being sarcastic?"

"I'm just stating the facts. That Jin Gui, a team leader, didn't act like a team leader at all. He was bowing and scraping to an ordinary member who was asking for leave, and his mouth was practically stretched to his neck with a grin."

Su Jinru: "So what? It's none of your business. From today onwards, we have nothing to do with each other. It's none of your business what I say to whomever I want."

“I can’t control you, but you’re still the mother of my two children. Your every word and action affects them. Don’t let others say behind your back that so-and-so’s mother is a promiscuous woman.”

Su Jinru stopped and looked at Qi Zhengyang.

"Qi Zhengyang, before you criticize others, clean up your own mess first. Although we are divorced today, your white moonlight is a married woman. Don't get yourself into trouble and affect my two children."

Qi Zhengyang's face turned red with anger.

Why has Su Jinru become so assertive?

He remembered that in his past life, before the divorce, she was always a quiet person who spoke gently and never said anything sarcastic or barbed. Now, for every word he said, she had ten words waiting for him, and she was aggressive and confrontational.

From yesterday until now, he has lost every time he has clashed with her.

She hated him because in her past life, he eventually divorced her.

She was almost sixty years old at that time, her youth was gone, and she had no chance to start a new life. He, on the other hand, got his wish and married the woman he loved after his divorce.

Sadly, she fell ill and passed away three years after they got married.

So in this life, he wants to be with her sooner and enjoy a happier life. And maybe if she's in a good mood and healthy, she won't get sick and die so early.

They say the deeper the love, the deeper the hate. Su Jinru hates him now, so be it! In any case, she has never been as happy as him in either of her two lifetimes.

So it doesn't bother her with anything verbally.

With that in mind, Qi Zhengyang didn't say anything more to Su Jinru.

Seeing that he was no longer causing trouble, Su Jinru naturally found some peace and quiet.

So, on the ten-plus kilometers to the county civil affairs bureau, the two of them walked silently with their heads down, without saying another word.

Upon arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau, they went directly to the divorce registration office.

But there was no one there. Although the Civil Affairs Bureau set up this position, the person in this position did it part-time because very few people get divorced, only a handful a year.

Seeing that no one was there, they asked the people at the marriage registration office next door.

The person was busy processing marriage certificates for several couples, and without looking up, she said, "Divorce? I'll process yours after I finish processing these people's marriages."

Su Jinru glanced around and saw four young couples registering for marriage. As she spoke, two more couples came in. At this rate, she didn't know if she could help them with their divorces before closing time.

Su Jinru said, "Comrade, I see you're quite busy all by yourself. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

The other person looked up and glanced at Su Jinru.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and there are a lot of people getting married, so we're really a bit overwhelmed. Could you check if they've brought all their documents? If not, they shouldn't wait in line; they should go back and prepare them."
