Chapter 287: Chapter 286 True or False First Love 86_1

Gu Wei was also very pleased with the solution proposed by Zhou Lina.

However, she hadn’t expected Zhou Lina to also casually help solve the marital issues between Zhang Shifen and Zhou Dajiang.

With the parties involved consenting, the expression of the Mechanical Factory Union’s chief became somewhat stiff, knowing that when Zhang Shifen had brought it up, Zhou Dajiang had disagreed.

But observing how readily he agreed now, his acceptance was anything but ordinary.

Zhou Lina was quite satisfied with Zhou Dajiang’s savvy compliance, "Not bad, I think this is quite good."

"Your long-term separation from my mom isn’t resolving anything. Since you can’t live together, there’s no need to insist. You can find yourself another wife."

"After all, when you look for a wife, you’re essentially looking for a salaried nanny, someone to take on the expenses and also look after you and my grandma."

"I hope Uncle Zhou, that you can find a better wife than my mom."

"By the way, keep an eye on your son, don’t let him bother Xiao Xuan. I have a bad temper, and if you trouble me, I won’t be polite."

Zhou Lina paused, "I thought I made myself clear last time, but you agreed on one hand and turned around to scheme on the other."

"I, I, definitely won’t do it again," Zhou Dajiang was truly frightened this time.

When Zhou Lina lost her temper last time, it was mostly directed at Zhou Juan, so of course, Zhou Dajiang and the others didn’t feel it as much.

But now he knew, even as Zhou Xuan’s biological father, that when it was time to act, she would do so without mercy.

"The issue is resolved, we’re leaving." As she was leaving, Zhou Lina turned to the crestfallen Luo Lili, "Remember tomorrow, don’t think about not showing up."

"I don’t know if you have someone backing you." Zhou Lina did not believe that Luo Lili knowing Feng Hao was simply a coincidence; there was definitely someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.

She wasn’t sure if it was someone in cahoots with Feng Hao or an enemy of Feng’s house, and Zhou Lina really wasn’t interested in speculating.

Feng Hao had been outwitted this time. He might not have seen it coming, but his older brother certainly would have.

The extent of the storm that this would cause was none of her business. She was truly just an ordinary observer, happy to watch as long as she wasn’t targeted. Anything would be fine.

If Zhou Lina was leaving, naturally Gu Wei and Gu Kai were too. Zhang Shifen approached Zhou Dajiang, "This afternoon we’ll accept the mediation of the Union and the street office."

"We’ll go through the formalities tomorrow."

"Take care of your family. Don’t spend all day scheming this and that."

Zhang Shifen then moved to Luo Lili, "You’ve got hands and feet, capable of work, but all you do is scheme against others. Why don’t you think about how to live?"

"Your poverty is not an excuse to scheme against people; it’s because you’re lazy."

Zhang Shifen didn’t bother addressing Luo Lili further; the outcome was quite predictable, and it would not end well.

The Zhou Dajiang father and son, utterly humiliated, would not have good days ahead even without the divorce.

The Luo family, now thoroughly without prestige, would not admit their own greed; instead, they would place all blame on Luo Lili.

How could a woman, without a job and unwelcome in both her maiden and marital homes, have a good life?

Zhang Shifen felt no pity for her; clearly possessing decent cards, she had managed to find herself a temporary job only to then covet her younger sister’s position.

After marriage, indulging in various antics, she truly courted death by not seeking a way to live peacefully.

Zhou Dajiang had never been more embarrassed than today. Zhou Lina had made her dislike for him quite evident on her face.

Feng Hao did not leave, "Luo Lili, give me the stuff."

"Don’t say you don’t have it." Feng Hao gestured for Luo Lili to return the money or items.

Luo Lili understood that once the items were with her maiden family, it would be hard to get them back.

Desperately, she turned to Zhou Dajiang with pleading eyes, "Dad... "

Zhou Dajiang pushed her away, "We didn’t know about this, and it’s caused us quite a loss."

"Your brother got the job, and your maiden family got the things and money. Now that you’re in trouble, you still think we’re going to help you?"

"You’re dreaming," Zhou Dajiang said as he closed the door right in her face.

When Zhou Yong heard the sound of the door closing, he came out holding his son. "Dad..."

Zhou Dajiang became angry upon seeing Zhou Yong, "Is it that you can’t bear to? If you really can’t bear to, then you’ll have to pay for it yourself."

"I don’t have any money."

"You’ve already heard how she insults you; what were you thinking?" Zhou Dajiang said, fuming as he looked at Zhou Yong.

Zhou Yong knew it was best to propose divorce now, "But what about the child if we get divorced?"

"If you don’t get a divorce, then move out," Zhou Dajiang was not in the mood for excuses. "You’re an adult; you should know what to do."

Zhou Yong was still considering how to persuade Zhou Dajiang, but to his surprise, his father was completely uninterested in reasons and instead threw this at him.

Immediately feeling desperate, he said, "Dad, if I just get divorced, who will take care of the child?"

"I have to go to work."

"What do you suggest I do?" Zhou Yong asked a straightforward question. "Plus, if I get divorced, do you think I can still find a wife?"

"Whether you can find another wife or not is your own business."

"The wife you have now is truly one who squanders; before she entered our family, we had such good days, but now..."

Zhou Dajiang once again remembered Zhou Juan and how she also suffered in the Great Northwest. "She’s just like Zhou Juan, truly a debt collector."

"In any case, I simply do not welcome Luo Lili."

"If you insist on choosing her, then don’t come back. Take your son and leave."

Zhou Dajiang looked at his grandson in Zhou Yong’s arms with distaste. He used to really like this eldest grandson and thought so highly of him.

But now, whenever he saw the little boy, he had only one thought, "He truly brings bad luck, just like his mother. Nothing has gone right ever since he was in his mother’s womb."

The more Zhou Dajiang used to like this grandson, the more he now despised the child.

Zhou Yong looked at the child in his arms. What could he do? He took a deep breath, "Dad, I’ll get a divorce."

After divorcing Luo Lili, he’d have to rent a place outside, which would be expensive. He really didn’t want to spend the money, but then he remembered how disdainful Luo Lili was towards him.

Zhou Yong took a deep breath, realizing that some words and events had indeed caused him no small impact.

He really had no choice but to live on as if nothing had happened and keep living with Luo Lili.

"What about the child?" Zhou Dajiang was not surprised by Zhou Yong’s decision.

"The child..." Zhou Yong tightened his grip, "Luo Lili is not good to the child, and I don’t know if I’ll remarry."

"You were able to help me raise a child, so there’s no reason why I can’t raise this one."

"When I go to work, I’ll send him to the childcare center," Zhou Yong knew there was a childcare center at the factory, which he hadn’t thought of before because Luo Lili was caring for the child.

Now he was grateful that the factory still had a childcare service, otherwise, he wouldn’t know what to do.

Hiring a nanny to take care of the child would really be expensive, and his money was definitely not enough.

Zhou Dajiang might disdain the child, but he knew that with how big the scandal had become, Zhou Yong’s chances of remarrying were slim.

If that’s the case, then it’s better to keep the child, especially now that he’s already old enough for solid food.

Luo Lili stood at the door, still cursing Zhou Dajiang and his son in her heart, thinking about how to get back at them.

She had no idea that they had already discussed and agreed on the divorce.

Luo Lili was shocked; she didn’t dare to consider whether her family would take her back once she divorced Zhou Yong.

Even if they did, it would be with the intention of marrying her off again to collect another betrothal gift.
