Everything is as expected.

This mother and son, they don't think they have any problems at all. Even if Chen Zhihui apologizes to me at this moment, it's just to make me go back to take care of the child, not because he truly empathizes with me.

I invited my best friend to have Western food together, watched a movie, and had a great day.

She asked me what my plans were.

I smiled.

"If you're not busy, come with me to see a lawyer."

After three days away from home, my husband finally couldn't stand it anymore and softened his tone to ask me to come back.

I scolded him as a fool.

When I was at home, the mother and son thought everything depended on them, and I was just a lazy person who liked to eat.

Now that I'm not at home, I realize that breastfeeding the child is the most convenient, without the need for both of them to rush to make formula and wash bottles every time.

I only now realize that they can sleep well at night because I'm there, waking up three or four times a night to feed the baby, allowing the child to sleep quickly, soundly, and without crying.

I also realize that they can eat their meals peacefully because I'm there to soothe and entertain the child, giving them a quiet dining opportunity.

"Ningning, I was wrong. My tone that day shouldn't have been so harsh. Where are you? Shall I come pick you up?"

"Chen Zhihui, it's not your attitude that's wrong, it's your lack of respect deep down for me, your wife who gave birth to your child. That's why your mother acts so unscrupulously, repeatedly disgusting me."

Chen Zhihui took a deep breath.

"I've talked to my mom. If you come back, she promises not to be like before. Can we both compromise?"

Compromise?

I haven't done anything excessive, so why should I compromise?

"No."

I straightforwardly refused.

"Chen Zhihui, I've already contacted a lawyer. I'll send you the divorce agreement later. Half of the marital property goes to each of us, the child stays with me, and you'll pay child support monthly."

Chen Zhihui shouted over the phone, "You want a divorce with me?! Isn't it enough, Zhou Ningning? I've already apologized to you, what more do you want? No matter what my mom did, what bad intentions could she have?"

"Don't show off your limited intelligence in front of me. Whether you apologize or not depends on whether you truly realize your mistakes, not just apologizing to save face. I want a divorce from you because I've realized that we are not suitable. I have lost my longing and confidence to raise children and manage a family with you in the future. But you are stuck on superficial reasons like mother-in-law conflicts. Here's a piece of advice, when there's conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it's because the husband is not taking action."

"The root cause is you."
