Landlady who likes to hoard land

Wang Chenghua feigned anger

"Zhuge Peng, you actually believe such a ridiculous thing? Do you have another woman outside and are you just making up an excuse to trick me into divorcing you? Give up, I will not have a fake divorce with you."

Zhuge Peng quickly comforted her

"I swear I really don't have any other women outside of my life. It's just that I didn't know about this before, but now that I know, it's been bothering me ever since."

Chenghua, it's not a real divorce. We'll remarry soon.

Didn't you want a divorce from me a while ago? Why don't you agree now?

Zhuge Peng suspected that Wang Chenghua had consulted a fortune teller long ago, otherwise why would she have wanted a divorce so much before, but now that he had taken the initiative to propose a divorce, she was now disagreeing?

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that his idea was correct. Otherwise, why would she refuse to give him her husband's contact information when he asked for it before? She didn't want him to do the divination, and she didn't want him to know that she had borrowed his luck.

She's really vicious; she still wants to take advantage of his luck. Zhuge Peng thought to himself, "No, I have to coax her into divorcing me as soon as possible."

He said, based on what his dog-loving friend said

“Chenghua, I have a lot of loans on me now. If I can’t pay them back, I’ll become a defaulter. And if my credit score is bad, it will affect the future of my two sons.”

After our divorce, you will have custody of both sons. That way, once the divorce is finalized, these debts will have nothing to do with you or the sons.

Seeing that Wang Chenghua seemed less vehemently opposed and even somewhat swayed after bringing up his son's future, Zhuge Peng pressed on.

“Chenghua, even if you're thinking about the child, we're just going through the motions. We'll live our lives as usual from now on.”

Wang Chenghua finally relented, "I'll think about it!"

Zhuge Peng breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Chenghua said that if he thought about it, he would most likely agree in the end.

"Okay, think it over, and let me know when you've made up your mind."

Zhuge Peng was overjoyed, washing dishes, mopping the floor, and playing with the children, trying his best to portray the image of a good father and husband.

"Big sister, Zhuge Peng really brought up divorce with me. He not only made up all sorts of excuses but also lied to me, saying it was just a fake divorce and that I would get custody of both sons. I said I would think about it. He's been behaving really well these past two days in order to get me to agree."

While Zhuge Peng was out during the day, Wang Chenghua quickly called Wang Chengyu to report the situation.

"Great! You must not let that bastard get away with this after you get divorced."

Wang Chengyu was overjoyed. She had managed to get Zhuge Peng to divorce his wife, and now he had even given up custody of the child. This made things even easier.

"Sister, I plan to delay for two more days before agreeing to the divorce. I want to write the divorce agreement in advance for him to sign. Do you know any lawyers? I can't give him a chance to take advantage of me later."

Wang Chenghua had read many divorce cases and thought that since they were going to divorce, he should block all his escape routes. He shouldn't give him any chance to drag him down, especially since his debts had to be clearly stated in writing.

“You’re right, he won’t have another chance. I’ll find a lawyer to draft it for you. You can ask me for any documents you need later. Once it’s drafted, I’ll send it to you, and you can print it out and use it.”

Wang Chengyu agreed with Chenghua's approach. After receiving her message, she quickly found a well-known divorce lawyer to draft a divorce agreement and sent it to Wang Chenghua.

After carefully reviewing the document and confirming that there were no problems, Wang Chenghua handed it to Zhuge Peng for his signature after he urged her again.

Zhuge Peng knew that divorce agreements were required for divorces these days. After carefully reviewing the agreement, he found that the two of them had no savings, and their only joint debts were the mortgage and the loan secured by the house.

All the other loans were taken out behind Wang Chenghua's back; Wang Chenghua was completely unaware of them.

The agreement stated that the house belonged to him, and all marital debts would also belong to him. He had made the promises regarding the custody of the debts and their son. He never expected that Wang Chenghua would give him the house as well.

He felt uneasy.

"You don't want the house?"

Wang Chenghua looked completely unconcerned.

"It's a fake divorce anyway, so it doesn't matter whose name it's in. You've already given me our son, so I want to put your mind at ease. I'll put the house in your name!"

"Oh right, what if you can't repay the loan and the court takes our house? Oh dear, I forgot about that. How about we put the house in my name instead?"

Wang Chenghua pretended to have just remembered, looking annoyed.

It was Wang Chengyu's suggestion not to take the house. She had consulted a lawyer who said that given their mortgage amount and loan amount, it would be pointless for Wang Chenghua to take the house, and it would likely cause endless trouble. The lawyer's advice was that it was better not to take it.

Zhuge Peng never imagined that their divorce was meticulously planned, nor did he expect Wang Chenghua to consult a lawyer; he simply assumed that she genuinely believed their divorce was a sham.

He couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, but quickly said...

"Don't bother, let's just leave it at that. That gentleman said I'll make a lot of money soon, and paying off this loan will be a piece of cake."

Don't worry, I will definitely protect our house.

When he said this, he completely forgot that a few days earlier, when he got Wang Chenghua to agree to the divorce, he had used the excuse that he was worried about not being able to repay the loan and becoming a defaulter.

As Zhuge Peng spoke, he deftly signed his name on the divorce agreement.

"Okay, whatever you say goes, I don't care." Wang Chenghua also signed his name.

The two submitted their documents to the Civil Affairs Bureau that same day, and only need to wait for a one-month cooling-off period to get their divorce certificates. Calculating the days, they won't be able to get the certificates until after the new year.

The next day, Zhuge Peng took the borrowed money and went south to do business. He believed his teacher's advice and decided to develop his business in another place so that he wouldn't be influenced by Wang Chenghua if he didn't see her often.

Wang Chenghua was happy not to see him.

With the stressful final exams over, the children are on winter break.

Unsurprisingly, Xu Wen was not only first in his class, but also first in his grade, while Xu Yao also achieved three A's.

Wang Chengyu doesn't really understand the current education system, especially primary school, which keeps emphasizing that grades are not important, that grades don't represent everything, and that we should focus on holistic education.

They never mention the overall rankings for tests, big or small. And that's one thing, but they don't even mention the final grades. You've been studying for a whole semester, and they don't even know what level their child has reached.

Without rankings, comparisons, and encouragement, children's learning will only become more and more aimless.

Quality education is very important, but students' task is to study!

If parents are afraid of hurting their children's self-esteem and don't want to publish rankings, that's fine. But how will parents know their children's true academic performance? And how will the children know their own worth?

Some responsible teachers are reported for assigning even a little too much homework.

As a result, teachers dare not assign homework or tell parents the grades.

It's understandable for first and second graders to do this, but it's really incomprehensible for older students to be so rigid about formalities.

Sigh! Luckily, she has a learning system.

Otherwise, an ordinary family like hers might have just let things slide when it came to their child's education.
