Ch. 1681..1690
Chapter 1681 stefen was speechless.
“Watch me bite you into pieces! You piece of sh*t! ” Aino was furious.
She liked Hana the most, so how could she watch her being insulted? Before her uncle could say anything, Aino was already furious. She got down from her uncle’s arms, put her arms on her waist, and glared fiercely at that man opposite her. She looked just like a mighty little wolf dog.
Stefan was not an actual hooligan, after all. He was just here to take back his fifty thousand dollars on behalf of his father, of course, he could not stoop down to her level to argue with a little child. He stuttered, “You...quickly carry your child. I will not stoop down to her level to argue with her!” At that moment, Zayn slowly and coldly spoke up. “Mister, you don’t seem like a hooligan, so can you tell me in detail about what exactly is going on? Tell me what happened. Once I’ve understood it, I will then return you the money they owe you!” Zayn carried Aino in his arms again. “Aino, be good. I will handle this matter.” Only then did Aino lean on her uncle and did not move anymore. However, she was still furiously glaring at the person opposite her.
Stefan glared back at them. “Hana’s aunt is the woman that my father married. A while ago, my father got sick. She then stole fifty thousand dollars from my father and ran away! If you, her niece’s lover, can quickly pay back the money for her, then I will not sue her for theft! If nobody helps this old woman pay the money, then I certainly will call the police and sue her for theft! ” After saying that, Stefan sneered. “Fifty thousand dollars is not a small sum! It’s enough for her to be imprisoned for a while!” “Dixon, listen carefully,” Zayn said. “I am not anybody’s lover! stop calling me that. As for the money that the old lady owed you, I can pay you back on her behalf!
However, I first have to ask the old lady! You said she stole it, but what if she doesn’t admit it? We have to clarify this matter face to face! Besides, you said that she stole the money, but do you have any evidence? Did you see it?” Actually, Zayn did not doubt for a moment that the old lady had taken the fifty thousand dollars. He just had some doubts, and he wanted to clarify those doubts.
Sure enough, Stefan said, “of course! My house has surveillance, and everything can be clearly seen on the surveillance! The evidence is overwhelming. There is no way she can get away with it! ” Speaking of that, Stefan suddenly changed the subject, and his tone also became a little nicer. “I also knew that Hana can’t return the money. Since you are not his lover, then I will not look for you anymore. I have thought of a solution. Hana, you can see if it’s feasible!” Hana sounded annoyed. “Say it! You want interest, don't you? Fine! I will pay you the interest!” “My family is not short of fifty thousand dollars! My father is now sick and is paralyzed in bed. As long as the old lady is willing to return to take care of my father and play the role of his wife! I will not pursue the matter of her stealing the money! Also, I will not ask for a single penny of interest! You just have to slowly pay back in installments.
Even if you take ten years to pay back, we will not force you as well!” Stefan said.
Zayn was speechless. He finally made a little sense of it. These people were not mainly here to ask for money. They wanted to find a person to go back and take care of their sick father?
Hana was so angered that she could not speak for a long while.
At that moment, they suddenly heard an angry roar coming from behind them. “If will fight to you to death if I let you b* stards bully an old woman like me and my niece again! I will hack all of you to death! ” Zayn and Hana both turned their heads back at the same time and were both stunned.
At some point, the old lady had a kitchen knife in her hand, and she was charging straight at Stefan and his brothers.
“Aunt, put down the knife! ” Hana was stunned.
Chapter 1682 Stefan and the few people behind him were all stunned for a second, when they clearly saw that the old lady had no slightest bit of intention in putting down the knife, the men instantly turned around and ran. They were competing to see who was the fastest runner. They stumbled and ran out of Hana’s house in a short time.
The old lady with the knife in her hand did not run out and chase after them, she collapsed and sat at the door while holding the knife and cried inconsolably. “What sins has an old lady like myself committed? What sins have I committed for God to be punishing me like this?” The old lady cried with incomparably great sorrow.
Hana gently walked to the front of the old lady and gently took the knife in her hand away. “Aunt, don’t be upset...hand me the knife.” The old lady gave the knife to Hana, and then she turned around to kneel in front of Zayn, who was still in shock. “Mister Smith, everyone said that you’re a great person.
That day when my niece came back, she told me that you had been taking care of the people at the shelter very often. I knew then that you were a good person.
“Mister Smith, help me. I don’t want your money! No matter how poor I am, I will also never want money. I just want a job that includes meals and accommodation. I can do any work that others dare not do. Cleaning or washing dishes. Is that alright?” Zayn was speechless.
“I’m begging you, Mister Smith. You see, if I stay at my niece’s house, I will only be a burden to her. They will come again in the future. My niece has already had it hard enough, to begin with, she had to work four jobs to pay the mortgage, and she still has to give Tessa living expenses every month. She is already having it hard herself. I can’t be a burden to her. I’m begging you, Mister Smith...” “Ma’am, first get up,” Zayn said. “I will be doomed if you kneel for me like this. You first get up and tell me what’s going on, and it's not too late for me to think of a way to help you. Let’s not talk about the job. With that behavior of you holding the knife just now, I’m guessing that those bunch of people will not let you go at all. You first get up and we’ll think of a way to resolve this matter.” Only then did the old lady wipe her tears and stand up with the help of Zayn and Hana. She sat on the bench in the house and slowly told them her story.
The old lady had lost her husband when she was young and had brought up her son alone. Her son was also very obedient. They were street vendors selling pork in this suburban town, and there was also another street vendor opposite her son. There was fierce competition between the two businesses, and the vendor opposite them often created trouble for them. They kept picking fights with her son every other day.
At first, her son just endured it. One day, the people from the opposite stall provoked her son. “Hey, little butcher, do you know that you can still keep your butcher stall open all thanks to your mother? I wonder how many men she had slept with to be able to save up enough money for you to open up this butcher stall! Your mother is old now, but your wife is still very young and can be introduced to men again. Hey, your mother and your wife’s business seem to be doing pretty well! ” Those words had infuriated her son, who had always been honest and rule-abiding.
Her son picked up a knife and slashed that person. It was not enough to vent his hatred after just one slash, so he continuously slashed the person up several times. It was fortunate that the person’s life managed to be saved after getting emergency treatment in time. Although it was not enough for his son to be charged with a death sentence, he also was a felon. Her son was only twenty two years old that year. The old lady was only forty-five years old.
At that time, her son’s wife was pregnant and was about almost due. After she heard such a piece of news, she died giving birth. Their child was left behind, and both the child and the old lady then depended on each other for survival.
At that time, the old lady had lost everything to pay for compensation. After they resolved all the matters, the old lady was completely broke. The old lady also had to take care of her grandson, so what to do?
Just like that, someone gave her an idea. She was told to find someone else to marry and bring her grandson along with her into the family. After she thought about it, she felt like that was her only option.
Chapter 1683 It was also a coincidence that when the old lady was looking for someone to marry, a newly retired middle school teacher in this suburban town, who had been widowed for many years, also wanted to look for a partner as his children had already started their own family. The two of them hit it off with each other at once. The old lady then brought her grandson along with her and married Neo Dixon.
However, she only found out that it was not as easy as imagined after she had been married to him. Once they were married, Neo made a few rules for her to follow. “I can give you the money to buy formula powder for your grandson every month, but that is all. This was also because I pitied you, but you can’t push your luck. Once your son is released, your grandson has to be sent away.” The old lady already had no place to return to at that time, so it was already not bad to have a roof over her head. She then nodded in agreement to whatever Neo said. She said cautiously, “Thank you. Thank you for giving my grandson and myself a place to stay.” “You have to know that you’re very honored for an illiterate woman like you to be able to marry an intellectual like me. This is your house from now on. You have to take more and better care of it!” ordered Neo.
The old lady immediately nodded. “I am best at taking care of the house. I’ll certainly make sure you’re satisfied.” With such a brief exchange, the two then went and got their marriage certificate the next day. They were then considered officially married. After they got married, she was responsible for all household chores and taking care of everything in the old man’s life. The old lady was only forty- five years old at that time, so she was still capable in a certain aspect. Therefore, from time to time, the two people would still have sex several times a month.
At first, the old man was not very satisfied with her, and he did not like the food she cooked. After about two years of training by the old man, the food that the old lady cooked met the old man’s taste. The old man was then very nourished. However, he only gave a maximum of three hundred dollars for the old lady to buy formula powder for her grandson every month. Never mind buying clothes or diapers, the old lady could not even take out a single penny to spend on groceries and other expenditures on a usual basis. That was because the old man had kept a close watch on this aspect. Even purchasing a single packet of salt needed to be recorded. From time to time when the children return home, they would also take turns to check on the old lady’s accounts. The old lady felt upset and disrespected by the children, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she needed to raise her grandson.
The clothes that her grandson wore growing up were all picked up from the neighbors.
When she asked the old man for money to send her grandson to kindergarten, the old man would refused to give her. With resignation, the old lady could only do some odd jobs outside while maintaining all the household chores every day. She would also pick up the empty bottles on the roadside when she saw them sometimes. It was fortunate that the tuition fee for the public kindergarten was not much. It was only a few hundred dollars a year, so the old lady managed to save enough quickly.
As she was working some odd jobs outside, she could save a few hundred dollars from time to time, so she felt secure. She did not think about other things, she only thought about raising her grandson. Therefore, all the money that she had saved up was to pay for her grandson’s tuition fee. ' Ten years had gone by just like that. The old man got older, his health was not as good as before anymore, so he needed the old lady to put in all her effort in taking care of him. That meant that the old lady could not do the odd job outside anymore.
The old man then lashed out at the old lady. “I am your husband! Your husband! All that you have eaten and drank were mine, and you have stayed in my house for ten years, even your grandson also stayed here. How dare you not take care of me? Do you even have a conscience?” The old lady then said helplessly, “I didn’t say that I’m not taking care of you. My grandson has to go to school, so I have to work three hours a day. It would not interfere with taking care of you.” “Two options. You either come back or get lost!” The old man kicked the old lady.
Hence, the old lady had no choice but to leave her job. However, what she didn’t expect was that when her grandson’s school term was about to start and needed tuition money, the old man actually refused to give her a single penny. He even cursed at her. “I have no obligation to raise your grandson!”
Chapter 1684 The old lady’s heart sank when she heard that back then. They had been a married couple for ten years! she had cooked for him for ten years! He had been so nourished under her care. She had only asked him for her grandson’s tuition fee that one year, and it was because she had no way to go out to work anymore. In the end, he did not give her a single penny. Never mind if he refused to give her, but he even hit her. He cursed at her too. Also, he kicked her into the yard of the accommodation for faculty members, and let many retired teachers and so on watch.
“All of you come and judge. Is this woman a parasite? I had raised her grandson since he was a baby! She is not a faculty member, but she could stay here. She did not have an official job and had no pension, but she could support and raise her grandson! I have raised him for ten years. When will it end?” The old man was so exasperated that he could not breathe. 2 All the people in the yard criticized the old lady. “You’re too unbelievable!” “People like you have sucked the old man’s resources till his bones have dried out! ” “People from the rural area cannot be taken as brides, she has no livelihood security, so she really can completely drain this little bit of your salary!” “Neo, why didn’t you find a woman who was also a teacher like you back then?” The group of people had various different opinions. Just as they were still conversing, a few children of the old man returned. When they saw the old man so angered, they criticized the old lady as if they had gone insane.
“Madam Cecilia! Is this how you take care of my father?” “We have taken care of letting you have food to eat, water to drink, and a roof over your head! We had even taken care of your grandson. Is this how you repay my father?” “Madam Cecilia! If you do not wish to stay at this house anymore, then just get lost as soon as possible!” Being scolded by the few children like that, the old lady was instantly in tears. “I...I have been married to your father for ten years! We have slept together for ten years! I have taken care of all of you...when you had given birth. I have given your children allowances every year. I treated your children as my own grandchildren. All of you are driving me out now?” “The money you had given to my grandchildren were all given to you by me! Did you take the money out of your own pocket?” the old man instantly said.
The old lady cried harder. “I had never taken the money out of my own pocket because do I have money? It’s not that you didn’t know I don’t have a job. I had been working three hours of odd jobs a day for thirty dollars! That’s only almost eight hundred dollars a month! Do I have money? Doesn’t matter if it’s your money or my money. Isn’t it enough as long as the children have been given allowances? I have given allowances to your grandchildren every year, but have you given a single penny to my grandson before? why can’t you see my grandson? He has been calling you grandpa for ten years!” ' Hearing the old lady saying so, the old man became even more furious. “You d*mned old thing! You truly are a parasite! Are you being reasonable? You are a person with no salary! All of your living expenses were on me! That’s my money! Who can stop me from giving my money to my grandchildren and my children? Why should I give it to your grandson? I am not going to settle scores with you about the past anymore! I am setting the rules for you now! You’re now staying at my house! You’re eating my food and wearing my clothes! You’re under my control! However, you can only interact with my family. As for your family, forget it! I am not going to allow this bad habit of yours. The more I allow it, the more arrogant you’ll be! Get up! Go cook for me now!” The old man scolded the old lady in front of so many people.
The old lady was truly heartbroken. People often said that it was truly difficult for couples in their second marriages to be of one mind, and that was true. After being married for so many years, she had been living miserably, but what about her husband? Although he was more than a decade older than her, he looked more radiant than her. He was a faculty member after all. It was truly different for a person with a pension.
The old lady got up and silently went into the house to cook. That night, she cooked for the whole family, but her grandson did not even get a single bite of it. There were still many people criticizing her.
“Neo, the wife from the second marriage can’t be compared to the first.”
Chapter 1685 “of course, she can’t be compared to the first one! You won’t dare to let her have anything. She is not of one mind with you!” “That’s right! Greedy!” “Think about it, is this reasoning correct? It’s my salary and my house. You’re just staying here, of course, I have to take care of my relatives, why would I have the leisure to take care of your relatives?” “That’s right! That’s the reasoning. It’s a pity that she is a woman from the rural areas, so she is greedy and not sensible! ” “She needs to be disciplined! ” “She needed to be taught a lesson, then she won’t dare to do it again! ” “Look at her now. She still obediently went into the house to cook for you. She can’t bear to leave. Where can she go if she leaves? Surely, she can’t sleep on the street!” “She’s so unappreciative!” All these were said aloud, without hiding from the old lady in any way. The old lady remained very calm. That night, all the old man’s children had dinner at home. After they were done, the old lady cleaned up the dishes. She even poured a bucket of water for the old man to wash his feet at night, and she personally scrubbed his feet for him, so much so that the old man even slept with her once in a fit of anger. She was all very calm.
The following day, all the children had returned to their respective homes, and the old man had gone out for a stroll and light exercises. The old lady then searched all the possible places that could hide money in the house. Sure enough, she truly found fifty thousand dollars! she put the money in a satchel and headed straight to her grandson’s school. That was four years with meals and accommodation included. Her grandson could then safely finish his nine years of mandatory education.
When she came out of her grandson’s school, the old lady still stuck around outside the school as she could not bear to leave. “Baby, I’m sorry. I have given you everything I could give you. stay in school these four years and don’t create any trouble. After four years, your father should also be released. This way, you will have a father. My child, you have to be sensible and study well. When your dad is released, have him work and earn money to pay for your high school tuition. You have to go to college. Don’t be a butcher like your father. So uncultured and impulsive. Baby, I have to part with you forever now. You have to stay well.” The old lady cried inconsolably outside of her grandson’s school until she had no tears left to cry anymore in the end. she washed her face by the river, then she returned home.
When she got home, the old man did not even notice that she had cried. He just looked at her with disgust. “I have not disciplined you and you’re so audacious now?
Where have you been today? You didn’t even make lunch! I had to order delivery! The delivery food is so disgusting and so high in fats! You know that I have high blood pressure! I can’t have oily and salty foods! Yet, you didn’t come back to cook! Where on earth did you go? You have not been home all day! You haven’t even done the laundry!” As the old man was speaking, he raised his hand to hit her. He had been having the temptation to hit her recently. He just wanted to hit her at every turn. After he had hit her, he would feel satisfied. It felt as if he had returned to the time when he became a leader before he retired.
However, before his hand landed on her, he heard the old lady say calmly and flatly, “ Neo Dixon. I have thought it through. Let’s get divorced.” Neo’s hand stopped in mid-air. He thought he had heard it wrong. “D*mned old thing, what...what did you say?” The old lady’s gaze was unwaveringly calm. “Let’s get divorced. I will pack up and leave today. We’ll go to city hall and get our divorce certificate tomorrow. I will never enter this house of yours again. I will leave this marriage without taking any possessions with me.” Neo was speechless.
Chapter 1686 The old lady’s decision stunned Neo. Neo looked straight at the old lady without blinking. “D*mned old woman, you truly are very arrogant! Watch if I don’t...” Just as the old man was about to make a move, he turned around and saw that the old lady was holding a cleaver in her hand.
“It’s just slaughtering pigs, right? I am a butcher’s mother! I know how to do it! ” The old lady looked at the old man with an expression as if she was looking at a stranger.
Neo was shocked. He did not expect that the old lady was being serious. She returned to her room and wasted no time packing up all her things. It was just a duffel bag full.
“It’s all of my clothes in this bag and nothing else,” said the old lady. She left after that.
She had already thought it through. She had stolen fifty thousand dollars from the old man to pay for the grandson’s tuition fee, so she wouldn’t mind going to jail. After she had left that house, the old lady found a hotel and stayed here.
The following day, she waited for two hours at the city hall. When she saw that the staff were about to clock out, the old lady then made a call to Neo. “Why haven’t you come to process our divorce?” On the other end of the line, Neo was a little panicked. “You...you truly want to divorce me?” “Have you gone nuts?” said the old lady patiently.
Neo ignored the question. “You won’t even have a place to stay if you divorce me, so why are you being so arrogant?” “Does it matter to you whether I have a place to stay or not?” asked the old lady in return.
Neo was speechless. The old lady continued. “I have inquired with others just now that if you don’t come over to get divorced, I can unilaterally go to court and file for divorce. If you are not present, our divorce will automatically take effect two years from the date I file my suit.” The old lady hung up as soon as she said that. Neo called again right after. “Do you...
want to reconsider? I...can forgive you for many things. As long as you come back and admit that you were wrong, I can then forgive you, alright?” The old lady smiled and said in a contemptuous and self-deprecating manner. “Mister Teacher! Are you pretending to be confused? You are an educated person! It’s me who left your house now. I have already moved my things away, and I am waiting for you at the city hall to get divorced! It’s not me who goes to you to admit my mistakes and then beg for your forgiveness. Do you hear me?” After saying that, she immediately hung up the call. She truly had had enough! An hour later, the city hall was already closed. Only then did Neo come slowly and later.
There were also two managers, a man and a woman, from the accommodation for the faculty member, who came together with him.
“Madam Cecilia, what are you doing? How can you be so dramatic?” The female manager was calling the old lady’s name and pulling on her arm to lead her out of the city hall’s lobby.
The old lady looked at the female manager. “Me getting a divorce is being dramatic?” The female manager softened her tone. “ Alright, alright, alright. Say, why did you want to get divorced? You first tell me what’s going on and let me be the mediator for both of you. If we have managed to reach common ground, then let’s not get divorced, alright? You’re already an old married couple. It’s not worth it to have a fight between a couple.” The old lady hung her head. “I have nothing more to say. Since I can’t do it this morning, then I’ll wait until the afternoon to get divorced.” “Just think of it like US, two ladies chattering, alright?” The female manager kept holding the old lady’s hand and not letting it go. “Tell me, how exactly did he mistreat you? Tell me, and I’ll help you vent your grievances, alright?” Neo, who was standing at the side, rolled his eyes at the old lady. “Say what you want to say! Don’t use divorce to threaten others!”
Chapter 1687 “Sure.” The old lady smiled. “If you want me to say it, then I’ll say it. I have been married to you for ten years! In the last ten years, you take your grandchildren and your daughter seriously, but what about mine? You gave money to your grandchildren.
With the amount of money you have spent on them every year, which one of them didn’t cost you tens of thousands just on buying clothes and snacks alone? But, what about mine? I only have a grandson, other than you buying the cheapest formula powder every month that costs a hundred dollars each in the first year, he had not even worn a single piece of new clothing growing up after that! All that he had worn were unwanted clothes given to him as a charity by the neighbors! Neo Dixon, ask yourself with a clear conscience, how did you treat your relatives and how did you treat my relatives?” “Old woman! You’re being unreasonable! ” Neo was very unyielding. He looked at the few people in the city hall, then pointed at the old lady. “Let’s clarify in front of everyone now! We are both remarried! We both have our respective children! You married me alone! You don’t even have any property, and I’ve made sure you get to eat and have a roof over your head! It’s been so many years! Have I complained about anything? You’re the one I married, not your whole family! It’s not enough that I have to take care of you, but I also have to take care of your whole family? Let everyone here judge, is this appropriate?” Everyone in the lobby heard him. Some people nodded. Some people shook their heads and walked away. This is their family matter, so no one would judge the matter for them. There were only the two managers beside the old lady.
The female manager criticized the old lady in a fair manner. “Say, Madam Cecilia, just talking on this matter alone, then it’s you who is at fault! Both you and Neo had remarried. Neo is a person with a job and pension. He should take care of his children. He married you, but not your whole family! It was him being very kind to take care of your grandson back then. You can’t hold his kindness against him and push your luck! So, you’re divorcing him because he doesn’t care for your grandson?
Then...aren’t you committing marriage fraud? Madam Cecilia, this is unethical.
Let’s go, follow us back. We’re not going through with the divorce. You’re already an old married couple for more than a decade. What are you doing?” She then turned towards Neo. “Neo, let me tell you this, let the bygones be bygones.
You’re a man, so you should be a bigger person. You can’t make a fuss about your past contributions with Madam Cecilia anymore after you’ve arrived home! Do you know that? Come on, let’s take Madam Cecilia home.” After she said that, the two managers held the old lady by one arm each, and then they dragged her out. Neo was also pushing the old lady from behind. How could an old lady fight against three people by herself? They dragged her to the entrance of the city hall in one fell swoop. Out of desperation, the old lady shouted. “Security!
Security! Please help me call the police and tell them someone is kidnapping me!
Help me! ” The security immediately came out. “What are you doing? You’re actually holding someone hostage in broad daylight?” Neo immediately turned to the security. “ This is...this is my wife. She is here to ask for a divorce from me.” The security was speechless.
“Sir, help me. I must get a divorce. I have had enough of being in his house. I will die if I go back now. Don’t let them take me away.” The old lady cried inconsolably.
The old lady did not get taken away by Neo after they were stopped by the security.
They just kept waiting there until the afternoon shift at the city hall started. The old lady was the first to sit in front of the window for processing.
The first thing the staff asked was, “ Divorce? Are there any divisions of properties?” “Yes!” Neo said incomparably heartlessly. “ She had been eating, drinking, and living at my house for ten years. I even helped raise her grandson. I will only agree to get divorced if she agrees to compensate me two hundred thousand dollars! ”
Chapter 1688 The staff looked up. “Are you not having an amicable divorce? Is there a property dispute?” “Of course, there is!” Neo said straightforwardly, “she had no one to depend on and had no income! Has she lived in my house for ten years for nothing? I even helped her raise her grandson! Who’s paying all that? Two hundred thousand, and I’m already asking for very little!” The staff immediately glanced at the old lady with contempt. “Is that so?” At that moment, the old lady was already covered in tears. Could she truly not find a place that would listen to reason? If reason could not work here as well, then she planned to just end her life by banging her head on the pillar. She said with a face full of tears, “I want to ask you people who know the law, are we not a family once I have married him?” The staff nodded. “Yes.” “Since we’re already a family, then why does he still want to clearly divide everything with me? He had raised my grandson, and I have lived at his house for more than a decade. Since we’re already a family, isn’t his house also my house?” “You can’t think of it like that! My house is my separate property as it was acquired before the marriage.” The old man was very educated and well versed with the law.
The staff looked at the old lady. “If it was his separate property, then indeed it doesn’t belong to you.” The old lady sneered. “Did I say I want to divide half of his house?” Both the staff and Neo were speechless.
Seeing that nobody answered her, the old lady then said with an aggrieved tone, “I have been married to him for ten years, of course, I know that your house is your separate property! I have also never wanted to divide your property with you. I had never thought of wanting any of your properties, let alone your house! I am here to get a divorce and leave the marriage without taking any possession with me! Haven’t you seen the duffel bag that I had taken away yesterday? I am leaving the marriage with nothing! ” She cried. “I have never wanted you to leave the marriage with no possessions! I’m still going to let you stay at my house in the future. We have been married for ten years. We’re already an old couple, so why must we get a divorce? Are you afraid of being laughed at? Have I ever said to let you leave the marriage without taking any properties? As long as you don’t care about your son and your grandson’s troubling matters and live your days with me properly, then we can be together forever in this life even though this is our second marriage! ” said the old teacher with a dogmatic tone.
The old lady spat at Neo. “I don’t want to be with you anymore! why can’t an old scoundrel like you understand it? I’m disgusted by you! I despise you so much now that I feel you’re a toad covered in poisonous warts! You’re a shameless bandit and a d*mned old man! ” Neo was speechless. After a long while, the staff said, “Please calm down! ” The old lady cried. “I am very calmly asking for a divorce. Why is he still stopping me? I have already said that I don’t want to be with him anymore! Do you know how much I regret it now? Ten years ago, I was just forty-six years old then. I was still so young, and I could do any sort of work. Even if I simply find a family and be their nanny, they also have to include my meals and accommodation, and give me three thousand dollars, right? Three thousand...” Speaking of that, the old lady was almost choked up. “Three thousand dollars! How much formula powder can I buy for my grandson with that? Never mind those that are particularly good, even with the average ones that cost a hundred fifty dollars per can, my grandson would also not use up three thousand dollars after consuming four cans of formula powder a month. If I hadn’t chosen to marry someone back then, but become someone else's nanny instead, not only could I raise my grandson, but I also can save almost two thousand dollars a month. If that was the case, then my grandson wouldn’t have no formula powder to drink when he was just six months old and had to consume batter and milk mixture. My grandson also wouldn’t have to wear hand-me-downs all year round to the point that he hasn’t even bought new clothes until now.” The old lady was still sobbing. “My grandson is already in fourth grade now, but I don’t have the money for his tuition. I don’t even have the money to buy him something to eat. In the past ten years I’ve been in the Dixon family, I bought groceries, did laundry, cooked, and served the old man as if I’m serving my first husband. I treated him as my family and the person that is closest to me.”
Chapter 1689 “However, I can’t raise my grandson. They were not willing to raise my grandson and said that they don’t have the obligation. I truly regret it very much. I’m only fifty-six now. There should still be people who want me if I were to become their nanny. After my divorce, I’ll find a place that includes meals and accommodation. I'll earn money for my grandson, support his education, and let him grow up to be a man. Am I at fault? I don’t want to be with you. I simply just don’t want to be with you anymore. Is that not alright?” The staff was speechless. He was simply stunned.
“Please hurry up and process my divorce! ” said the old lady with unparalleled resolution.
The staff nodded. “Alright, Ma’am!” He paused then looked at Neo, who was still stunned. “Sir, you were a teacher, right?” Neo glared at the old lady, and then said to the staff, “That’s right! I am an educated person that is very easy to communicate with. Just tell me directly if you have anything to say! ” “How much is your monthly salary, Sir?” 1 “It was six thousand dollars a month five years ago, and I had an increment later on.
Now, my pension is seven thousand two hundred dollars each month.” “It’s like this, Sir. For your house and other properties that were acquired before the marriage, this old lady will not be able to take any of it away. However, as for the ten years of your salary since the day you married this old lady, if the first five years was six thousand dollars a month, then it would be three hundred and sixty thousand dollars in the five years. If the five years is seven thousand two hundred a month, then it would be eighty-six thousand four hundred dollars a year. That’s four hundred and thirty-two thousand dollars in five years. In total, that’s seven hundred and ninety-two thousand dollars. In this seven hundred and ninety-six thousand four hundred, this old lady has half of it. Sir, if you were to get divorced, then you have to pay this ma’am three hundred and ninety-eight thousand two hundred dollars for her pension.” The staff looked at Neo without any expression at all.
Neo was stunned back then, and could not say anything for a long while.
“Sir, you have to three give this ma’am three hundred and ninety-eight thousand two hundred dollars. After rounding up, it's four hundred thousand dollars."
Four hundred thousand dollars.
Neo was instantly annoyed. “By what virtue! This is my salary! ” “By the virtue of her being your wife! ” the staff said.
“I object!” The staff continued calmly. “You can take it to court. However, I will tell you this first, you should pay this ma’am four hundred thousand dollars and not a single penny less.
If you’ve lost the lawsuit, you’ll be paying the legal fees.” Neo was speechless. He was so pissed off that he almost fainted.
The old lady, on the other hand, looked at the staff with a grateful expression. “ Young man, you...are an understanding person. Thank you, young man.” The staff said with a smile instead, “ Ma’am, I have already understood this situation.
The marriage between you and this educated person indeed is not suitable to be continued. I will process your divorce now. However, you must fight for your share of the property. Four hundred thousand dollars is enough for you to retire and raise your grandson.” The old lady shook her head. “Young man, what you mean is that after I’ve married him, his salary in those ten years was considered his, but it’s also considered mine?” “Of course!” “I also...also have the right to spend and take money?” asked the old lady again.
“Of course, you have the right to take your own money and your husband’s money!” The old lady instantly felt relieved. She laughed suddenly. She thought to herself that she did not need to be imprisoned anymore. The fifty thousand dollars she had taken from the house was hers. It turned out that it was not considered theft for her. Also, she had only taken fifty thousand dollars. It was still a lot short of four hundred thousand dollars.
“Young man, I don’t want the properties. Just process my divorce now,” said the old lady calmly.
