Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1533: I’ll Have My Son Divorce You!
All his thoughts were just a flash of lightning before Lu Hao knew what he should do.
He looked at Chu Chengfeng and earnestly asked, "Do you genuinely want to cooperate with my sister-in-law?"
Chu Chengfeng glanced at Lu Hao indifferently and nodded, "Naturally."
Old Lady Lu was about to speak when Lu Hao’s sharp gaze swept over, then he spoke after a momentary pause, "Mom, you don’t understand anything. This has nothing to do with you. If you find staying here pointless, go back with Dad to pack up and prepare to return to the hometown..."
Old Lady Lu was taken aback, and before she could speak, Lu Hao spoke again, "Mom, there’s something I haven’t told you. This morning, I went to see the landlord. We canceled the lease on the house, but the landlord was generous and said we could move out by the end of the month..."
"Xiao Hao, are you crazy? Why are we canceling the lease without any reason?" Old Lady Lu’s sharp voice suddenly rang out.
Mu Xinxin calmly took a step back.
Gu Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows and continued to watch.
Old Man Lu furrowed his brow and then stood up angrily. Before Old Man Lu could express his thoughts, Lu Hao’s deep voice said, "Mom and Dad, don’t make a scene. We can discuss this later, okay?"
Lu Hao emphasized the last two words, and for some reason, the atmosphere in the noodle shop suddenly became heavy.
The two elders suspiciously looked at their youngest son, exchanged a glance, and begrudgingly sat down. When they got home, they wouldn’t know the outcome of the discussion, and if they got nothing, wouldn’t they be at a loss?
Only then did Li Gufen understand that her brother-in-law wasn’t joking when he said he would stand up for her.
This child is serious.
Li Gufen’s eyes filled with mist, and she turned her head to wipe away her tears. Suddenly, her thoughts became clear. There was no reason to cling to such a Lu Family because they were not worth it.
Her hunched back gradually straightened.
Lu Hao looked at his sister-in-law and gently asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have any thoughts? Don’t have any reservations. Say it all; with me here, no one will dare to bully you."
Mu Xinxin stared blankly at Lu Hao. The light in the girl’s eyes seemed to sparkle with a hint of shimmer. She blurted out, "Sister Li, don’t worry. If you want to go to the Imperial Capital, you can negotiate with Chu Chengfeng. He’s very fair, and he’ll agree to any reasonable request you have." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"I..." Li Gufen hesitated.
"Sister Li, you need to have confidence in yourself."
Gu Qiaoqiao encouraged.
Indeed, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know where Sister Li learned her skills or if she figured it out herself. But with her unique talent, she could be the godfather of beef noodles in the Imperial Capital. If she set her mind to it, her future would be limitless.
After all, food is the primary desire of the people, especially now when people’s lives are getting better. Chu Chengfeng already has the vision and mind for business; otherwise, he wouldn’t want to cooperate with Sister Li. If it’s managed well, Chu Chengfeng could take on a large portion of the beef noodle market in the Imperial Capital.
And the money would naturally roll in.
If Sister Li insisted on staying with the Lu Family, then as she became wealthier, her life with the Lu Family would also improve significantly. Besides, Lu Hao would also support her.
After all, Lu Hao is the biggest pillar of the family.
Judging from earlier, the two elders of Lu’s family were still somewhat intimidated by Lu Hao.
So, everything depends on how Sister Li thinks.
Whether to step out and embrace the wide world or to continue holding onto the Lu Family was all up to her, and no one else could help.
Li Gufen looked at everyone in front of her, took a deep breath, walked out of the kitchen, and stood at the door. Ignoring Old Lady Lu’s glaring eyes, she looked at Lu Hao, "Lu Hao, you said you would stand up for your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law believes in you and thanks you. But I’ll decide for myself. I’m not in a hurry to open a noodle shop with Brother Chu and Qiaoqiao. For now, I agree to divorce your elder brother."
Gu Qiaoqiao’s slightly furrowed brows quietly relaxed. It seemed like Sister Li had finally thought things through.
A useless and shamelessly unfaithful husband, bitter and malicious in-laws, and two bossy sisters-in-law who treated her like a servant, always pointing fingers and pouring salt on her wounds, and Zao Hua...
None of them were worth her staying to work like a horse for them.
"Sister-in-law." Lu Hao hadn’t expected his sister-in-law to say such words. It wasn’t that he didn’t feel sad because the Lu Family had wronged her, "Sister-in-law, I respect your decision. Whatever requests you have, feel free to ask."
His voice was very choking.
The people in the noodle shop looked at each other in surprise. Who would’ve thought Sister Li would want a divorce?
However, everyone had mixed thoughts but surprisingly remained silent.
It wasn’t yet their place to speak, including Gu Qiaoqiao.
Old Lady Lu finally slapped the table and stood up, gritting her teeth, cursing, "You misfortune-bringer, talking about divorce, dreaming of it, I’ll have my son divorce you!"
Truly speechless.
Gu Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows slightly and seriously spoke, "Auntie, this isn’t ancient times anymore, and there’s no such provision in the marriage law. Besides, your younger son is a military officer, which makes you a military family member. I hope you address matters as they are, speak properly, and don’t tarnish the image of a military family member. Besides, this is between Sister Li and your older son; you really have no right to interfere."
Old Lady Lu knew who this girl was; she was the wife of her son’s superior, whom her son respectfully called the head’s wife. The position must be significant, and she couldn’t help but be intimidated.
She forced a smile, then rolled her eyes, thinking she couldn’t let the divorce happen and had to keep Li Gufen working for the Lu Family. But then on second thought, not divorcing wouldn’t work since Zao Hua’s pregnancy couldn’t be hidden.
If they didn’t divorce, wouldn’t the grandchild end up as a child born out of wedlock?
That wouldn’t do!
Thinking of this, she angrily sat down, still wanting to say something when Lu Hao’s sharp gaze swept across, causing her to lower her head in frustration but muttered, "It’s because there’s a better place to go that you’re asking for a divorce. Previously, you were like a stray dog that couldn’t be driven away. Hmph, it’s not that easy; if you want a divorce, you have to compensate my son for the loss."
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but laugh, this was indeed shamelessly unbeatable.
"Compensation?" Li Gufen suddenly sighed deeply. How could she have ever considered wanting to be as filial as a daughter to such a heartless and unfeeling Old Lady Lu?
She really doesn’t deserve it.
"Old Lady, how much compensation do you want?" Li Gufen suddenly asked.
Old Lady Lu suddenly changed her tune, staring blankly for a long time before she stretched out her hand, "Not much, leave Fifty Thousand Yuan, and I’ll let you go."
"Mom, are you crazy?" Lu Hao was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. How did he not realize that his own mother could be so thick-skinned?
