After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Outbreak

An impatient male voice arose, “What’s the need to throw things when you can speak nicely? It’s the New Year; what kind of behavior is that?”

“And what about you?” Ye Qiuqiu cursed, “Chen Haobo, since when did you start treating your daughter’s matters as if they’re not your responsibility, and now I can’t even handle them?”

“Trivial matters…”

“Trivial?” Ye Qiuqiu, infuriated, directly interrupted, “What is trivial in your eyes is about my daughter’s life in my eyes!”

Her son being scolded had annoyed Mrs. Chen, “This isn’t right, that’s not okay, if you’re so capable, handle it yourself. It’s unreasonable to not take care of kids.”

Ye Qiuqiu took a deep breath, her chest heaving with surging emotions, “When I was a full-time housewife you said I was freeloading, spending what your son earns; and when I go to work, it becomes that I neglect the kids, right? You’ve said all there is, both good and bad.”

...

“I end up being blamed for helping you with the kids,” Mrs. Chen complained, rolling her eyes.

“Helping me?” Ye Qiuqiu immediately retorted sarcastically, “Is Qianqian only mine? Does your son not have a part in this? If so, I’ll take my daughter away right now and you won’t have to bother anymore.”

“Fine, you’re capable, I can’t argue with you, but why did you even come back!” Mrs. Chen yelled, “Running back to your parents’ home during festivities, now the whole neighborhood knows, how much face do you think Haobo has lost!”

“He refused to go with me, how is it my fault?”

“Which decent family’s daughter goes back to her parents’ home for the New Year, is that proper? How did your parents raise you?”

“Dare to say another word about my parents and see what happens!”

Furniture was kicked over with a loud “bang.”

This was followed by a child’s crying.

The women casually chatting in the alley looked up towards the second floor.

An old woman commented with excitement, “Wow, it’s starting again. This Chen family has really livened up since they had a granddaughter.”

“Why fight in front of the kids? Don’t frighten the little girl; she’s timid.”

“Speaking of the girl,” the old woman lowered her voice to gossip with the person next to her, “Haobo’s mother told me the other day, they want them to try IVF to get a boy, said it will cost over a hundred thousand.”

“IVF? It’s not like they can’t have kids.”

“They want a guaranteed boy, to have one of each.”

Lin Gantang frowned deeply.

Seeing Lin Gantang looking at them, the chatty group asked, “You’ve been standing here so long, who are you looking for?”

A row of men in black suits behind, quite imposing.

Lin Gantang inquired, “Do they fight every day?”

The old woman loved to chatter, not minding who was asking, “Minor fights every three days, big blowouts every five days, they’ve driven their daughter-in-law away several times.”

“Doesn’t her husband help her?”

“Tsk, Haobo works out of town, how many days is he home a month?” the old woman shook her head, “He doesn’t even keep her from running back to her parents’ house, how’s he to help?”

A middle-aged woman cracking New Year’s melon seeds said, “Blasting for a day or two, who wouldn’t run?”

Lin Gantang wanted to ask more, but a loud shout came from upstairs, “Enough! Every day with the arguing, aren’t you tired of it!”

There was quiet on the second floor for a while.

Lin Gantang looked towards the second floor.

In the living room, Ye Qiuqiu said with restrained emotion, “Chen Haobo, I just want to ask you one thing, do you want to move out with me or not?”

“Move, move, move! No money! Where would we go!” Chen Haobo was frustrated.

“I’ll borrow it, I’ll borrow the down payment,” Ye Qiuqiu said, her eyes red as she stared directly at her husband, “As long as you agree, we can get a mortgage for a place right now.”

“Borrow? Borrowing doesn’t mean we don’t have to pay it back? We can’t even scrape together a down payment, and you want to take on a mortgage? I’ve got enough pressure supporting the old and the young,” Chen Haobo objected.

“Is it that we can’t make the down payment?” Finally, Ye Qiuqiu exploded, “Your goddamn 230,000, your mother said one word and you lent it to your cousin without asking me! Do you even consider me your wife? Do you still want to live this life with me?”
