Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 124 Can’t Get Through It, Just Get Divorced (3)

Ye Nai pulled out her phone and quickly found the Seafood Restaurant in a local dining review app, managing to snag the last large table for ten in the main hall.

Despite it being just the first day of the new year, business at upscale establishments like the Seafood Restaurant was still booming, and she was lucky to get that last big table.

"Secured a ten-person table; should we order now or at the venue?"

"Which ten-person table? Is it a private room?" Ye Yu butted in.

"What private room? You think they’d hold one for a last-minute booking? Dream on, Dad. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and change, are you eating or not?"

"Eating, eating, eating."

Ye Yu turned his head and found he was a step too slow; his wife had already rushed back to the master bedroom and locked the door.

"Hurry up."

Ye Yu knocked on the door loudly.

"What’s the rush, five minutes."

And it was indeed five minutes; Yu Qing came out in an outfit that could pair with a cotton jacket.

As for her husband, she didn’t care what he wore. It was he who wanted to eat at the Seafood Restaurant. If he wasn’t dressed nicely, it was his own face that he was losing.

The younger siblings also went to the second bedroom, dropped their backpacks, and clothing bags, which were filled with their old clothes they had changed out of.

"Ah, isn’t it great that big sister came back? Just in time to wear some new clothes to dinner. Eating seafood at the Seafood Restaurant is so expensive."

Yu Qing looked at her four kids smiling happily. She knew very well that much of their joy was due to the eldest daughter’s suggestion for her parents to get a divorce, which brightened her mood considerably as it reduced the resentment she had accumulated from life’s pressures.

Indeed, given the current family financial situation, instead of blaming each other daily, it’s better to settle the property and go their separate ways.

She would only need to take care of her younger daughter, which meant fewer worries and more time to read and study. This time she was determined to pass the Intermediate Accounting exam.

If her husband had changed and was no longer reliable as before, then it was time to let him go.

Ye Yu came out after changing his clothes, and compared to his neatly dressed wife and child, his attire was somewhat sloppy.

If this had been before, Yu Qing would have helped her husband choose something nicer to wear, but now she couldn’t be bothered.

"Let’s go, down to the cab. We’ll discuss what to eat in the car. Let’s order online first to avoid a long wait."

Ye Nai stepped out the door first, with mom and the younger siblings closely following; no one bothered to call their dad to catch up.

Luckily, the promise of a top-notch restaurant ahead was enough motivation for Ye Yu; locking up, he quickly followed his family into the elevator.

Ye Nai rapidly arranged for a taxi on her phone. As they walked through the neighborhood streets, the driver called, having arrived just outside the community gate.

It was peak dinner time on the first day of the new year, and many were out dining. The taxi progressed slowly, stopping frequently, and it took over fifteen minutes to reach the Seafood Restaurant.

This was one of the few upscale restaurants in East Ridge City.

Just by the name, you could tell the menu specialized in seafood and marine products, which alone indicated that the prices were far from cheap. Coupled with good taste, it had built a reputation so significant that people from surrounding hazard zones would drive for hours to dine here.

The first and second floors were large halls, while the third to fifth floors consisted of variously sized private rooms and banquet halls.

The waiter, showing no surprise at the scars on Ye Nai’s family’s faces, warmly ushered them to a secluded table on the second floor, surrounded by screens, invisible to other tables, though the bustling sounds were audible.

They had ordered some dishes in the car, and now sitting down to the menu, Ye Yu wanted to try the Mutant Beast Meat section, but Ye Nai dismissed the idea, only allowing beverages.

The waiter played peacemaker, advising that ordinary people who had never tried mutant beast meat should not risk it, as getting a stomach upset and ending up in the hospital could mean bad luck for the entire year.

Ye Nai even added, "If we get sick from eating at Seafood Restaurant, after compensating for medical expenses, would the restaurant blacklist our whole family and be done with it?"

In order to be able to come back next time, they finally stopped asking for the mutant beast meat.

The waiter gratefully smiled at Ye Nai and, noticing that she was the one paying, catered to her with extra attention.

After all, if a customer concealed the fact that they had never eaten mutant beast meat and ordered it, causing harm to their health, the restaurant would compensate, but the waiter wouldn’t benefit from it.

After the dishes were served, they were really delicious, and the family ate without even looking up.

Some dishes were counted by number, and after finishing, they still craved more and ordered an additional serving.

Ye Nai tried a bit of each dish and then put down her chopsticks, just drinking beverages and taking care of her family’s food and drinks.

She was used to the energy contained in every bite of mutant beast meat; Ordinary ingredients were enough just for tasting. However, she would come by herself later to try the restaurant’s signature mutant beast meat dishes.

It truly deserved its reputation as a famous restaurant that could attract Awakeners to drive several hours specifically to eat there.

More than an hour later, when paying the bill, which included beverages and alcoholic drinks, the meal cost more than six thousand yuan. Ye Nai even ordered several dishes suitable for takeout; the kitchen prepared them for packing so they could take them home to heat up the next day.

This meal alone, regardless of whether her parents were really going to divorce, had made her siblings unanimously agree that they must stand by their big sister.

"Alright, we’ve eaten and drunk our fill, let’s go. I’ll call a cab to take you home," Ye Nai said, tucking the bill receipt into her coat pocket.

"Ye Nai, aren’t you coming home with us?" Yu Qing quickly grabbed her eldest daughter.

"Where would I sleep at home? Is there a place for me?"

"This…" Yu Qing stammered, a rare surge of awkwardness washing over him.

"Can’t I sleep in the living room? You’ve always slept there since you were little, and now you’re picking faults?" Ye Yu came out, picking his teeth, "No wonder the old man comes here often to eat; the food is really delicious. We’ll come again next time."

His wife and children ignored him, carrying the takeout and walking out of Seafood Restaurant, standing by the roadside waiting for a car.

Ye Yu followed them out, utterly without dignity, scoffing and looking for a reason to start an argument.

His nagging solidified the previously half-hearted Yu Qing’s decision to divorce, firmly set now, with no turning back.

"Look at your dad’s state now; living with him any longer could even shorten my life," Yu Qing whispered in complaint to her eldest daughter.

"Then let’s divorce, decisively. As soon as the civil affairs office opens after the New Year, go get the papers."

"We haven’t sold the house yet. Should we get the papers first? What if he changes his mind about selling the house?"

"Get a lawyer. Leave the professional matters to the professionals, and don’t begrudge the lawyer’s fee. If it comes to it, I’ll pay; you have to prioritize correctly."

"Are you really looking forward to my divorce?"

Ye Nai, tall with long legs, slightly lowered her head to glance at her mother.

"Would you rather be stuck in the unrest of constant family quarrels, or would you prefer to live a peaceful, quiet life by yourself for the rest of your days? To pass the Intermediate accounting exam, you need a quiet study environment. Do you have that at home now?"

"…" Yu Qing was silent for a while, "We need to find a new place to live if we move."

"Finding a new place is enough. There’s no need to bother moving. All the old junk of over ten years, let dad keep it. I’ll buy you new stuff: necessary furniture for you and your sister living together, two single beds, a large wardrobe, a five-drawer cabinet, and other bits and bobs, up to ten thousand yuan top from the furniture market. I’ll also give you a budget of ten thousand for the appliances."

"You’ve been saving money too, don’t spend it all on us," she advised.

"If you’re truly going to divorce, I’ll pay. Unless you’re pretending to divorce to get money from me. I’m only falling for that once; don’t come asking for more if I pass away, though I’ll contribute to the funeral expenses," Ye Nai stated.

"…Okay."
