Chapter 83 Chen Yulian Demands Division of Property
Reading Settings
No matter where you are in the Flower Kingdom, there is no shortage of people who try to smooth things over.
Seeing Chen Yulian and her mother's humble attitude, some people came out to smooth things over and say nice things, suggesting that Qiao Changdong take the person back and live a good life.
Of course, there were also those who gloated.
Qiao Changdong glanced around at the onlookers and finally fixed his gaze on a tall, thin man.
The tall, thin man had just said, "Brother, why don't you just let it go? I think your girlfriend knows she was wrong. What's that saying? 'It takes a hundred years of cultivation to share a pillow,' right? It's fate that you can be husband and wife."
"A man should be more magnanimous. Only a prime minister with a heart that can hold a boat can accomplish great things."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Changdong smiled and pointed generously at Chen Yulian, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Judging from what you're saying, it seems you like this one. You can take it home then."
At this point, Qiao Changdong glanced at the woman standing beside him with a half-smile, whose behavior was clearly intimate with him, and continued, "You and your partner are here to get your marriage certificate too, right?"
Qiao Changdong became even more enthusiastic and went straight over to pull the tall, thin man.
"Come on, this is perfect! You and your partner can get your marriage certificate together, and then go back home as a family of three and live a good life. That's more important than anything else!"
His sudden action of pulling the man startled the tall, thin man, who immediately backed away.
Qiao Changdong was displeased: "Brother, look at you, why are you being so polite? You just told me to be generous, but I've already given you my partner, isn't that generous enough? Right, little sister, look at your partner, why are you still being so polite with me!"
The last sentence was said to the woman next to the tall, thin man.
"Tsk, it's probably because you're embarrassed, plus national policy doesn't allow you to have two partners." Qiao Changdong stroked his chin, making a thoughtful expression.
"How about this, little sister, why don't you give up your seat? Otherwise, I'm afraid that even if your brother gets the marriage certificate with you, he'll still be thinking about her and won't be willing to live a good life with you."
What does it mean to kill someone by destroying their spirit?
That's it!
Upon hearing Qiao Changdong's words, the woman standing next to the tall, thin man, who had been wearing a festive red woolen coat and had a happy expression on her face, suddenly changed her expression drastically.
She turned to look at the man, her suspicious gaze sweeping over him before finally saying angrily, "Niu Dajin, since you're so distressed, then you should go with her!"
After saying this, he turned and walked out.
"No, no, no! I didn't! I'm not... Hey, hey, wife, wife, Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng, wait for me..." The man panicked, chasing after the person while turning back to glare at Qiao Changdong.
As Qiao Changdong watched the man and woman walk out, he couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire: "Brother, come back quickly! The Civil Affairs Bureau is about to open, why are you leaving like this..."
"..."
Other onlookers.
Seeing how easily Qiao Changdong broke up a couple who were about to get their marriage certificate, they were so shocked that they kept backing away. Especially the men, who wished they could stay as far away as possible under the suspicious gaze of their partners.
Qiao Changdong coldly observed the reactions of those around him and sneered.
Look, this is human nature. You'll never know the pain until the knife falls on your own body.
Chen Yulian could tell from Qiao Changdong's reaction that he really didn't care about her at all.
She originally thought that his beating of Qiao Tieniu yesterday was partly due to his concern for her, and that he was jealous of Qiao Tieniu's relationship with her, which was why he beat Qiao Tieniu to death.
Now it seems she was overthinking things.
He didn't care who she was with at all; he just felt he was losing face, which is why he hit her like that.
I've figured these things out.
Chan Yuk-lin knew that no matter how humble she was or how much she begged, it would be useless.
Since that's the case.
She wanted to maximize her own benefits.
She stopped pretending, wiped her face, got up from the ground, and looked at Qiao Changdong with a face that was almost disfigured, saying, "Divorce is fine, but you have to agree to one request."
"Heh." Qiao Changdong chuckled and glanced at her from head to toe.
That look seemed to ask, "You think you're qualified to negotiate?"
Qiao Changdong's action made Chen Yulian feel extremely humiliated and embarrassed.
She clenched her fists, bit her lip, and continued, "I know that when you adopted Qiao Qiao, you also received a deposit slip with three thousand yuan on it."
"Now that we're getting a divorce, I'm demanding a division of property. I want 1,500... no, 2,000! If you give me 2,000, I'll go in with you to sign the papers; otherwise, I won't go!"
Chen Yulian was indeed educated.
She knew that both marriage and divorce required the consent and signatures of both parties to be finalized; unilateral consent did not count.
In a divorce, one can request a division of property.
Now that she's divorced, and she's a single woman raising a child, she has to plan for her future.
Two thousand yuan, after deducting the portion she promised to give to her family, would be enough for her to live on for a long time. If she's lucky, she might even be able to use it as capital to start a small business.
"Otherwise, I'll just keep going with you. Anyway, you've already ruined my reputation, so I'm not afraid to keep going." Chen Yulian had a "what's the use" attitude.
Chen's mother, who had been about to hit her when she heard that she wanted a divorce, stopped when she heard Qiao Changdong's words and looked at him with a gleam in her eyes.
If I really can get two thousand yuan.
Then the Chen family would be rich!
If you were to find a partner for her youngest son, you could probably provide him with everything from bicycles to the four essential items (traditional Chinese furniture, hardware, and accessories)!
"Divide the property." Qiao Changdong curled his lips, the words swirling around in his mouth.
He looked at Chen Yulian, then at her mother and Chen Xiu'e who were following behind her.
Chen Xiu'e actually preferred to reconcile, because compared to the money ending up in Chen Yulian's hands, she would benefit more from reconciling with Qiao Changdong.
Moreover, she felt that although two thousand yuan seemed like a lot, it was nothing compared to the immense wealth of the first wife.
However, given how things have developed, they have no other choice.
We can only focus on what's in front of us for now, and make plans for the rest later.
Qiao Changdong looked at the mother and her two daughters for a long time.
The mother and her two daughters felt a chill run down their spines, their hearts pounding, when they heard Qiao Changdong say, "Let's go then."
"Where to?" Chen Yulian thought they were going to the bank to withdraw money, her voice filled with obvious excitement and boundless joy. She hadn't expected Qiao Changdong to agree so quickly; she thought it would take a lot of effort.
"The police station, of course. Where else would it be? Since you're determined to go to jail, why should I stop you?"
"With so many neighbors around yesterday, plus Director Pei being there too, I don't need to go looking for evidence of your adultery!" Qiao Changdong said.
