Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

The four brothers comforted Shu Wen for a while, then went home.

They still sleep together now.

”Do you really think it’s okay for Uncle Four to do this?”

”That’s Uncle Four’s own decision. Didn’t you see that my dad and your dad don’t care?” Hongling retorted Cheng Lin’s words.

”Well, we’re just not close with Uncle Four’s family.”

”What can we do? At first, it was Uncle Four’s wife who didn’t want to take us in, and over time it just became a habit.”

The other three people thought what Hongling said made so much sense.

”Actually, they are just jealous. To be honest, I don’t feel close to Uncle Four’s four brothers.” Red Army chimed in.

”Yeah, how many people around us aren’t jealous of us?”

”Luckily we are obedient, or else we would also be envious of others.”

Everyone taking the college entrance exam felt that time dragged on during this period.

Two days before the results were released, there was the sound of crying and arguing at Shuxin’s house.

It turned out that after lunch at home yesterday, Li Yunqiang brought up the topic of dividing the family.

”Once Shu Wen gets married, let’s divide the family. You live your own lives.”

Shuxin and Shu Wen had long guessed it would come to this, so they didn’t object, but Shuxin’s wife wasn’t happy.

She had a hard time being married into the Li Family Village, and if she hadn’t tricked Shuxin, it might not even have been her.

She had her own schemes. The father-in-law is the brigade’s accountant, and the Li Family Village is so wealthy, he must have a lot of money. So, she’s unwilling to hear about dividing the family.

But Zhang Aiping was sly. She knew better than to make the father-in-law dislike her, so she didn’t say anything even if she was unwilling.

That night, Shuxin wanted to be intimate, but was rejected. Shuxin had a bad temper and was quite the chauvinist. Of course, he wouldn’t be pleased with rejection, so they had a cold war.

The next morning, Shuxin’s face was sullen, and Zhang Aiping spoke to him, but he ignored her.

”Shuxin, how can you be like this? Why are you ignoring me?”

Shuxin put down his chopsticks and sneered at Zhang Aiping, ”Do you really think I’m a fool? You think I don’t know your little schemes? I’m just too lazy to bother with you.

You also schemed against me, you know very well that the reason I agreed was because your little wit seemed interesting. But you shouldn’t act high and mighty in front of me.

I, Li Shuxin, can still find someone beautiful even if I don’t want you.”

After Shuxin finished, he stood up to leave.

Zhang Aiping was frightened. So he knew, her position was so unstable.

”Shuxin, I didn’t mean anything else, it’s just that I was upset because Dad mentioned dividing the family yesterday. Don’t you know how I feel about you?”

Shuxin sneered, ”Throwing a tantrum at me? Do you even realize your own situation?” After saying that, he pushed her aside and was about to leave.

This made Zhang Ailing anxious. ”Shuxin, Shuxin,” she cried while chasing after him.

Li Yunqiang happened to be coming over to find his son to send eggs, now the two brothers have also learned to drive a tractor.

Just as he reached the door, he heard the daughter-in-law’s cries inside. He wanted to leave; it’s better for a father-in-law not to meddle in a young couple’s matters.

”Shuxin, I’m really upset about your dad talking about dividing the family. Why should we split just after getting married? Is there something wrong with me?

Shuxin, I think it’s your stepmother instigating. No matter what, we can’t split the family. Otherwise, all your dad’s money will go to the kids she gave birth to.”

Li Yunqiang happened to hear this, he closed his eyes with heartache, his life turned out like this because he didn’t have a virtuous wife. Now, how did his son end up with such a woman?

He knows Shuxin’s character well. Although he has grievances against him, he would never be one to talk about him behind his back.

”Shuxin, how can you be so stupid? Your father intends not to leave us any money. In the future, we still have to support him.”

Li Shuxin just watched Zhang Aiping’s tantrum, he really underestimated her. She actually had such thoughts; even if he’s not capable, he won’t covet the elder’s belongings like that.

If given, he accepts; if not, that’s fine. He talked about this issue with Shu Wen as well.

Actually, they know, even if they work together, they can’t earn much. They still know their dad’s temper.

He absolutely won’t allow his sons to go against his wishes. He may give, but you definitely can’t covet it.

”Zhang Aiping, go back to your parents, I don’t want you anymore. Our family can’t afford a woman like you. Even if dad doesn’t give a penny, I won’t have any complaints.

It’s his money, he can give it to whoever he wishes. Pack your things. Luckily, there are no kids yet, so it’s less of a worry.”

”Li Shuxin, you want a divorce? You’re getting rid of me? I’ll fight you! Why are you rejecting me? What did I do wrong?”

”What did you do wrong? Don’t you know your own mistakes? Let others be the judge.”

Shuxin just liked Zhang Aiping for her initiative. This made him feel capable, but he didn’t expect her to turn him down. Given his prospects, finding another wife wasn’t hard, there were better than her.

In fact, if she stayed honest, he would have made do with her.

But she was not content and couldn’t see things clearly.

”Zhang Aiping, I’m telling you. Have your parents come over, and tell them everything you said.”

This time Zhang Aiping was truly panic-stricken. Only been married a month, if they really get divorced, her family won’t accept her either, and finding another man would be difficult.

Zhang Aiping clung to Shuxin’s waist, ”Shuxin, I was wrong, I won’t have these thoughts again. Whatever you say goes, don’t divorce me, you’ll ruin me. What will I do if I get divorced?”

”Zhang Aiping, it’s too late. When you schemed against me, you should have thought it through. Apparently, you didn’t get it, so let’s part ways peacefully.”

Zhang Aiping saw that pleading softly didn’t work. ”Hmph. You say divorce and we divorce? I just won’t.”

”You won’t?”

”Right.”

”Heh, you’d better have the courage.”

After saying this, he threw Zhang Aiping off and walked quickly to the front door. At that moment, Li Yunqiang pushed the door open.

He looked at the couple indifferently.

Zhang Aiping’s sobbing seemed to be stuck in her throat.

”Dad, did you need something?”

Li Yunqiang glanced at his son, ”Hmm, come with me for a bit.”

The father and son walked down the road, ”Shuxin, I’ve always felt my life wasn’t good because I didn’t have a virtuous wife, I’ve mentioned this to you before.

But what are you doing? Do you think divorce is as easy as marriage? If you knew from the start what kind of person she was, why did you still get involved?”

”Dad, you heard, right? Actually, whoever I marry doesn’t matter to me. She might have had some cleverness back then, I also made it clear to her that everything is up to me. Now that she’s done something like this, I reckon her family won’t dare to cause trouble.”
