My mother-in-law held the child and said to me with difficulty:

"Ningning, it was all my fault before. I apologize to you. It's not easy for you and Xiaohui to be together. Now that there's a child, we can't easily divorce. The child misses you so much these days, and you must also be reluctant to leave the child, right?"

Chen Zhihui also lowered his posture: "Ningning, my mother and I have discussed it. Let's hire someone to help, so everyone can relax. I promise not to lose my temper with you in the future. I also promise... I will quickly find a new job."

Whether these words from the two of them were sincere, I didn't have time to think about.

Because I had already made up my mind.

"No need, let's meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau or in court."

Seeing that I was unyielding, my mother-in-law finally couldn't pretend anymore, her eyes turned fierce.

"My son and I have both apologized to you. What more do you want! A heartless woman like you deserves to be divorced. Son, if you want to leave her, then leave. But my precious grandson from the Chen family, you won't take him away!"

After saying that, she hugged the child tightly, as if I would immediately try to take him away.

I directly opened the door to see them off.

"Being stubborn is just deceiving oneself, it's useless. By the way, you may not know, but your son must be clear, during the breastfeeding period, in case of divorce, the child will definitely be awarded to the mother."

This is also why I dared to leave home without taking the child.

I don't need to fight her for temporary gains.

My mother-in-law couldn't hold back.

At the moment she collapsed in anger, I closed the door.

Outside, there was a burst of donkey braying: "What a sin, how did she end up with such a daughter-in-law! Unfortunate family!"

My helpless mother-in-law posted a complaint on her social media circle.

She cursed me for deliberately opposing her, called me heartless, and said I didn't deserve to be a mother.

Before I could say anything, one by one, the Chen family members came out to speak up for me.

【Sister-in-law, you also need to reflect on your own issues!】

【It's not the old society anymore, it's not right to be strict with daughters-in-law and expect them to obey!】

【Although we are relatives, I have to stand with Ningning on this matter. She is not a child who acts recklessly.】

【Has Xiaohui agreed to the divorce? He doesn't want to leave Ningning...】

She, who expected support, never expected to face "betrayal from loved ones."

In no time, she deleted her social media post, pretending nothing had happened.

A lawyer called me.

"Miss Zhou, the court hearing is the day after tomorrow. Please prepare."

"Okay."

Having a child made me truly see this family.

But it's okay, I have the courage and confidence to start over.

I hope you do too.
