Chapter 410 - "Trust me," said Shu Yan. (1)

Shu Youfu and the others caught wind of it right after Shu Yan’s second sister’s divorce. For sure some relatives in town had told them about it. They had just arrived home but rushed right back out to town again.

“What had gotten into you? You didn’t even bring it up to us before you get a divorce?” Lin Zixiang pointed at Shu Li angrily. She glanced over at Shu Yan and strongly suspected that Shu Yan was behind all this.

Shu Yan found herself a seat. Why did everyone think that she was the one who instigated this? Even a rabbit will bite when forced into a corner. The family was already plotting to give up on a live, it was only normal that Shu Li, as a mother, would fight back.

“What was the point of telling you? You and Dad would just tell me to bear with it. I don’t want to bear with it anymore,” said Shu Li with tears in her eyes. “Don’t you worry. I will not bring my kids back to your place and expect you to help me out. I will get a job and support my children and I.”

Lin Zixiang let out a sigh of relief when she heard Shu Li’s words. Shu Li and Shu Yan were not the same. Shu Yan had gotten a lot of money and her two children were healthy. If she was to move back home, they wouldn’t cost much to support. Shu Li had gotten some money too, but that amount couldn’t cover anything. It would be all gone after a few trips to the hospital for Pingan. Then, the money would be all gone and the child would be lying in the hospital. Shu Li would go back to the village and cry. As the grandparents, they had to chip in and even her three sons would need to contribute something. Otherwise they would never hear the end of it in the village.

Shu Li started to cry for real after she saw her parents’ reactions. They could at least make an effort to hide how they truly felt.

“You don’t need to worry about Second Sister. Just take care of yourselves.” Shu Yan looked over at Second Brother and Second Sister-in-Law following behind them and asked, “How come you two are here also?”

“Your brother hurt his leg and the doctors in town weren’t helpful, so we thought we would head to the city and have it checked out.” Second Sister-in-law was Shu Yan’s true sister-in-law by the name of Qiaoju. She was tall and stocky and could do as much work as her Second Brother. She was one of the few that was relatively nice to Shu Li and Shu Yan.

“Is everything okay?” asked Shu Yan.

“I’m alright. I said I am fine but your sister-in-law insisted for me to go see a doctor.” He sounded like he was complaining but his tone was happy.

Qiaoju gave her husband a cross eye, pulled Shu Li to one side and said to her in a low voice, “Every man cheats. Lu Qingwei has a high paying job. You are just giving him up for others by getting a divorce. Besides, what are you going to do as a single mother with two children? Pingan is not the healthiest child either.”

She truly had Shu Li’s best interest in mind. She felt that Shu Li was making it too easy for Lu Qingwei and that widow by getting a divorce. She should have just dragged it out. The Lu family would not dare treat her the same way that they used to with Shu Jianyang behind her.

Shu Li shook her head. What was the point? She was better off leaving with the money that she had gotten. She had already been through the worst. She trusted that there was nowhere else to go but up from this point forward.

“I know you see that Shu Yan is doing great right now, but that was because Ye Zhiqiang was wealthy. How much do you think Lu Qingwei could give you? It is not easy to raise two children on your own. You…..really need to think this through.” And that was about all Ye Qiaoju could say.

“I understanding, sister-in-law. Niuniu is old enough to take care of Pingan now and she could also do laundry and cook. She is very capable. With Niuniu with me, I can focus on making money. One way or another, I will put her through school. As for Pingan, if he couldn’t be care in City Xi, I will go to capital city, or City Nan. I will find a way. I am not afraid as long as my family stays together.”
