Chapter 1898: I Heard That You Got Divorced
Anyway, it was just her complaining about the divorce.
Chen Ning’s brother scratched at his messy hair as he trudged into the room while wearing flip-flops and looking completely drowsy. When he saw Ning Shu, he greeted her with a “sister” and then sat at the dining table to have breakfast.
“Sister, I heard that you got divorced and that Brother-in-law gave you one hundred fifty thousand yuan.” Chen Ning’s brother asked Ning Shu.
Ning Shu said faintly, “They didn’t. It’s just the An family trying to save face, that’s all.”
“One hundred fifty thousand, is there really one hundred fifty thousand?” Chen Ning’s mother asked Ning Shu, and then said, “Where did you go last night? I called you all night and was worried to death. “
“I stayed at a hotel since I wouldn’t have a room to sleep in even if I came back,” Ning Shu said.
Chen Ning’s brother swallowed the youtiao he was eating and said to Ning Shu, “Sister, can you lend me a few dozen thousand? After I get married, I have to go to work. It’s more convenient to have a car.”
Ning Shu was expressionless, “How would I have any money?”
“Didn’t brother-in-law give you one hundred fifty thousand?” Chen Ning’s brother frowned and said, “You can’t bear to part with it? You can rest assured that I will pay you back.”
Ning Shu: Return it? Ha ha…
The bride price was not enough, and now they wanted her to buy a car. They were really trying to exploit her for all she was worth.
“Chen Ning, if you really have one hundred fifty thousand, lend it to your brother,” Chen Ning’s mother said.
Ning Shu asked back, “Why should I? I am a divorced woman. If I gave him the money, how would I survive? I still have a child to raise, would you guys allow me to stay here?”
“You are siblings, so you should take care of each other,” Chen Ning’s mother said.
“Why should I give it to him? He’s just my brother. It’s not like I’m his mother, why should I have to give him everything?” Ning Shu put down the nutritional and health products she was holding and said, “This is what I bought for you and dad. Remember to eat.”
“I’ll leave first.” Ning Shu didn’t plan to live in the Chen Family’s house. Plus the house didn’t have a room for her to live in. She would just be living off their charity, and she had a child with her.
The younger brother was getting married soon, and there would be a younger sister-in-law. For the sister to live under the same roof as the sister-in-law, the sister would probably be criticized all the time.
She’d probably be gossiped about every day.
“I just want to borrow some money from you. I’ll even pay you back, so why are you so stingy?” Chen Ning’s brother said, dissatisfied.
“I’m just this stingy. Even if I had money, I wouldn’t lend it to you.” In this society, emotions were worth very little. This was a materialistic world. Sentiments like love, etc., were no match for money.
Ning Shu turned around and left. She already had plans and was ready to leave the city and go elsewhere to develop.
Otherwise, with all of them staring at the little bit of money in her hands and trying to find various ways to take it away, it would be buying a car today and “buy this, buy that” tomorrow. Things would be beautifully packaged as lending money, but in reality, they wouldn’t return it.
They didn’t consider at all how she could survive as a divorced woman with a child.
If she returned to the Chen family, she would simply be a person who had no status, had to do everything, and had to face cold looks and disdain every day.
“Mom, I’m leaving. Remember to eat. This is what little money I could spare to honor you two elders.” Ning Shu turned to leave.
