Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 609

Chapter 609: Let’s Get A Divorce ( 2 )
Chen Lina pointed her fingers at Li Sang and added, “Every time you touch me, I feel so disgusted that I have to wash my body many times just to get rid of your smell! Do you know how disgusted I feel when you do that? I want to throw up whenever I listen to your voice!”

Closing his eyes, Li Sang clenched his trembling hands. He never expected his wife would humiliate him in public like this. Today, he finally woke up from his dream as he heard his wife’s words. He deceived himself for so many years, but in the end he not only failed to get what he wanted, his decision even hurt his mother and his children.

It seemed that no matter how good he was to his wife, he would never be able to gain a place in her heart, let alone replace that man. In this case, there is no point continuing this marriage.

After taking a few deep breaths to control his emotions, Li Sang finally said hoarsely, “Chen Lina, let’s get a divorce.”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him with disbelief while Chen Lina’s eyes lit up. As long as she divorces this man, she can pursue her own love!

Before she could agree, Father Chen slammed the table and shouted angrily, “Li Sang, what do you mean by getting a divorce?! Do you think you can throw away my daughter as you like? Who proposed to us back then and promised to take good care of my daughter?”

Li Sang looked at his father-in-law and said, “Father-in-law, I never break my promise. I work hard and try my best to satisfy my wife’s every unreasonable request. I never say anything when she creates problems and always cleans up her mess. Even when she refused to fulfill her marital duty, I said nothing.”

“I have tried for so many years, but Lina is not only unwilling to accept me, but she also abuses my children. Father-in-law, I have the right to divorce her because she has not fulfilled her role as a mother and her responsibilities of being a wife and a daughter-in-law.”

Without waiting for Father Chen to say anything, Li Sang added, “Father-in-law, I hope for a peaceful divorce. If your family does not agree to the divorce, then I can only mention this matter to the team leader and the village elders. I am sure you don’t want your daughter to be reported to the authorities for abusing her children, right?”

Mother Chen was shocked by his words. She pointed at him and shouted, “Li Sang, you bastard! Is there anything wrong with Lina beating her daughter? Even the authorities have no right to arrest her for this. This is not a crime!”

“This is a crime!” Li Sang shouted back at her.

Because of his shout, everyone was startled and looked at him with wide eyes. For years they had thought of him as a mild-mannered, henpecked man. He never dared to refute what his parents-in-law said and always listened to his wife. But today, he dared to yell at Mother Chen, which shocked them.

After taking a deep breath to calm down his emotions, Li Sang continued, “No matter who the victim is or who the perpetrator is, if someone beats another person, that’s a crime. Even if it’s a mother beating her child. She could go to jail for that crime.”

“So, I hope we can resolve this peacefully and not involve the authorities,” he added tiredly.

When he finished saying this, there was a long silence in the living room.

After a long time, Chen Lina recovered from the shock and said, “Li Sang, it’s not impossible for us to get divorced. You can even get the children. But I want 500 yuan as compensation. If you agree, we can sign a divorce agreement.”

Li Sang looked at his wife for a long time before he asked, “Lina, do you really not want our children?”

Chen Lina seemed to have heard a joke and asked him back, “Why should I want your children? If I have children, it will be difficult for me to remarry. You don’t expect me to remain unmarried after our divorce, do you?”

Hearing her words, Li Sang knew that his wife had no regret nor hesitation at all. She even seemed eager to get rid of him as a husband and abandoned their children.

He laughed at himself and said tiredly, “I understand. I will prepare the money as soon as possible. I hope you won’t regret this.”

After saying that, he stood up and left the Chen family’s house without looking back.

Seeing him leaving like this, Father Chen looked at his daughter and said angrily, “Lina, you’d better not try to leech off me or your brothers after the divorce. We don’t have food to feed you. You’d better find a place and move out from my house!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and went back to his room. Now that things have reached this point, there is no need for others to stay. So they all took their leave.

When Chen Anwen’s mother saw everyone leaving, she looked at her sister-in-law and said, “Eldest sister-in-law, I know that since we have separated our household, I have no right to interfere in your family affairs. But as Lina’s aunt, I must say this.”

“Li Sang is a good man and his feelings for Lina are genuine. If possible, you should try to talk to Lina so she can change her bad habits. Not everything can be solved through violence, especially when it comes to raising children. What they need is care and understanding, not beatings from their mother.”

“I believe that if she apologizes and promises to get better, Li Sang will forgive her. Then we…”

Before she finished speaking, Chen Lina threw a cup at her. Chen Anwen’s mother was shocked when she saw the cup flying towards her. Just before the cup hit her face, she moved her body to the side.
