The divorce agreement drafted by the lawyer was sent to Chen Zhihui.

He shouted that he wouldn't sign it.

I said, "It's up to you. We can still proceed with a litigated divorce."

My mother-in-law, upon learning that I dared to propose a divorce to her excellent son, angrily called me.

"Zhou Ningning, you're just relying on my son for a living. Your skincare and makeup products are all expensive. You spend money recklessly. If you divorce, will you let the child suffer with you? If you really divorce my son, you will definitely regret it!

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to, using threats like this, going too far. Be careful not to turn against yourself!"

I smiled.

At this point, she still naively thought I was just throwing a tantrum.

I really don't know if she's too confident in her son or if she underestimates me too much.

"At this point, I don't think I need to keep hiding things for your son. During the first three months of my pregnancy, he was already unemployed. His salary wasn't high to begin with. He paid the mortgage with his salary, while mine covered household expenses. We split the child's expenses. Do you think I took advantage of him?"

My mother-in-law yelled at me, "Nonsense! Xiaohui goes to work every day, how can he be unemployed!"

"He's almost thirty-five, it's awkward to find a job at this age. I hope he finds a job soon. After all, if we divorce, he still has to pay child support."

After hanging up, I posted a message in the "Chen Family Courtyard": 【Thank you for everyone's concern. Regardless of my relationship with Chen Zhihui in the future, I will still treat everyone as elders and friends. I wish everyone all the best.】

Then I left the group.

It was only at this moment that my mother-in-law truly understood: I really wanted to divorce her son.

She panicked.

Where are some people despicable? They think that once you have a child, once you become a mother, everything you do is expected, and if you complain of being tired, you're just being dramatic.

But when the child's father does anything, it's seen as an extra effort, worthy of praise and celebration.

Your protests, your complaints, your negativity, not only are they useless, but they become reasons for them to attack you again.

If you're weak, you'll only end up being tormented.

My mother-in-law and husband, reported to the police overnight, then found me at the hotel where I was staying.

They tried to reconcile.
