Chapter 598 - 594: Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan Divorce
Xu Wenwan, however, felt incredibly relieved. "I know I’m in the wrong here. I’ll give you all a resolution right now. Let’s get a divorce!"
"I believe you feel the same way, Yun Hao."
Everyone was stunned.
That wasn’t it. While they wanted Xu Wenwan to take responsibility, they had no idea what that would entail. They certainly never wanted the two of them to get a divorce.
Back then, divorce wasn’t a word you threw around lightly.
Hu Ziqiang opened his mouth but said nothing.
Chen Beiguo glanced at Xu Wenwan, then at Yun Hao.
He saw Yun Hao nod with great effort.
He agreed.
A matter that was expected to be a huge ordeal had been resolved so easily.
Both agreed to the divorce. The only condition was that since Xu Wenwan had caused Yun Hao’s injuries, she was responsible for nursing him back to health.
As for the divorce application, Chen Beiguo would handle it on his end.
Xu Wenwan had no intention of taking care of Yun Hao, so she started pondering her system again.
The system felt like Xu Wenwan was about to fleece it for every last thing it had.
But the moment Xu Wenwan spoke, she brought up Leng Yuan’s fortune as a bargaining chip.
She argued that if she didn’t get a divorce, she’d be stuck taking care of Yun Hao. Then she’d have no time to complete her mission or get close to Leng Yuan.
Furthermore, she stressed Leng Yuan’s character—he would never make a move on a married woman.
In the end, the system gave in.
The gossiping onlookers were stunned to hear the two were divorcing. But since both parties had agreed, there wasn’t much for them to say.
They all discussed it for a while and felt that a beating wasn’t really grounds for divorce.
In a marriage, no matter what grievances one suffered, as long as you weren’t missing any arms or legs, people generally didn’t approve of divorce.
Even if someone was beaten until they were crippled, people wouldn’t necessarily approve.
So, a marriage is your own business. Only you know if it’s good or bad. What other people say isn’t all that important.
And with that, the crowd dispersed.
Xu Wenwan didn’t heal him all at once. That night, she only gave Yun Hao a third of the medicinal pill to take.
Before long, Yun Hao felt the pain in his body subside significantly.
The next day, the redness and swelling on his face had also gone down quite a bit. Most importantly, he could get out of bed.
On Saturday, Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao didn’t have to work. Chen Xiaolan came for half the day and then went home, with instructions that she didn’t need to come in on Sunday.
Gu Jiaojiao planned to spend both days making facial soap; otherwise, she would run out of space to store the crushed soapberries.
However, she didn’t dare to be too conspicuous about it, so she made the facial soap in the evening.
At that hour, every family was eating dinner, so it was rare for anyone to come by.
After two straight days of making facial soap, she had five hundred bars.
This time, she prepared the ingredients, Sweet Girl did the hands-on work, and Leng Yuan poured the mixture into the molds. After the facial soap solidified, Leng Yuan moved everything into the storage room.
That room was always kept locked.
Inside was some grain, everyday food items, as well as packaging paper and wooden boxes—things that were best kept out of sight.
The facial soap needed time to cool, and preparing the packaging also took time.
However, she didn’t dare let Chen Xiaolan handle the packaging, so she had to do it herself with her two children and Leng Yuan.
But after working on it for two days, staying up late into the night, they finally got it all done.
That very night, Leng Yuan took the facial soap to the County Town.
The next day, Gu Jiaojiao had to go to her class by herself. Leng Yuan had stayed overnight in the County Town and hadn’t returned.
Meanwhile, after being cared for for two days, Yun Hao’s injuries had healed. The only lingering issue was a whistle in his speech when he talked, so he avoided speaking whenever possible.
The divorce was mutual. As soon as he recovered, Yun Hao went to the brigade leader to get the necessary certificate, and then he and Xu Wenwan went to the County Town together to finalize the divorce.
