Chapter 84 – Truth and Divorce

Cai Shumin pursed her lips, remembering what Xu Jinning had said about Zhou Yinsheng and Shi Xue still communicating.

“Where are those letters…?”

Cai Shumin continued to search in the wooden box. Perhaps Zhou Yinsheng thought that Cai Shumin would never open this box, as long as he had the key with him, the box would remain unopened.

So, while moving aside those books and notebooks, Cai Shumin saw a stack of letters underneath.

She picked them up and roughly counted, there were about forty letters, all replies from Shi Xue to him.

Of course, there were also a few letters written by Zhou Yinsheng, but not sent out.

Cai Shumin opened these letters and started reading them one by one.

When she saw the first one, after just reading the salutation and the beginning, Cai Shumin’s heart sank…

After that, as she read further, her heart had already sunk to the bottom.

She quickly scanned through the forty or so letters, then sat on the ground in a daze.

If someone else were to read these letters, they might be moved by the love between Zhou Yinsheng and Shi Xue.

Because these letters were filled with their longing for each other, deep love, and seeing each other as their only one.

But to Cai Shumin, it was all very ironic.

Because both Zhou Yinsheng and Shi Xue were already married.

This was nothing short of a blatant betrayal of their feelings and families.

Cai Shumin couldn’t believe that her partner had hidden this so deeply, and she hadn’t noticed anything before.

It turned out that Zhou Yinsheng didn’t actually like her at all.

Just as Xu Jinning had said, getting close to her, marrying her, was just a temporary compromise he made when he felt there was no hope of returning to the city.

Zhou Yinsheng clearly loved someone else, yet he was acting in front of her and her family.

Making everyone believe he was deeply in love.

Now, recalling the scene of Zhou Yinsheng confessing his feelings to her, Cai Shumin feels disgusted.

Cai Shumin liked Zhou Yinsheng, but what she wanted was for Zhou Yinsheng to also like her, to love her.

If it was fake, then she would rather not have it.

Moreover…

Cai Shumin remembered what Xu Jinning had said about her fate.

Pushed off a cliff by Zhou Yinsheng, one corpse and three lives…

The thought of this scene made Cai Shumin suddenly shiver, her whole body feeling cold.

The evidence was right in front of her, confirming Xu Jinning’s inner thoughts. If she continued to be delusional, her fate might also come true.

But Cai Shumin cherished her life. She didn’t want to die.

At that moment, Cai Shumin, who once loved Zhou Yinsheng so much, made a significant decision.

But…

Cai Shumin touched her belly.

However, the two children who were supposed to come later might not be born.

Children, just wait a little longer, just wait.

“Sister, what’s wrong? Why are you sitting on the ground like this?”

“Yeah, are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

“Quickly get up, the ground is cold.”

“… “

Cai Shumin heard voices and turned her head, only to find that her brothers and sisters-in-law had come at some point.

They were looking at her with concern and worry, and the second sister-in-law quickly came over to help her up.

“Minmin, what’s wrong? What happened? You can tell us, don’t keep it to yourself.”

“Yes, if there’s any difficulty, you should tell us. We will definitely help you.”

“…”

The brothers and sisters-in-law were chattering, each one expressing concern and care for her in their own way.

Their words gradually warmed Cai Shumin’s heart, which had turned cold because of Zhou Yinsheng.

It didn’t matter if she didn’t have Zhou Yinsheng; she still had such great family members.

It didn’t matter if she didn’t have children now; there might be opportunities for that in the future.

At that moment, Cai Shumin’s parents also arrived.

It was all because of a remark from Cai’s second sister-in-law, noticing that Cai Shumin didn’t seem right, prompting everyone to drop what they were doing and rush back.

Facing the concerned and worried looks from her family, Cai Shumin’s thoughts in her heart became even firmer.

She said, “Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters-in-law, there is indeed something I need to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“I plan to divorce Zhou Yinsheng!”

“What!”

“Minmin, did Zhou Yinsheng do something to hurt you?”

“Sister, what exactly happened? You and Zhou Yinsheng seemed so good together, why the sudden…”

“… “

Everyone was quite perplexed. Until today, Zhou Yinsheng had crafted such a perfect image of a loving husband that was deeply ingrained.

So, while everyone didn’t quite understand, they also knew that Cai Shumin must have a reason for doing this.

Cai Shumin showed them the letters and photos she had in her hand.

Upon seeing the evidence, even without Cai Shumin having to explain, everyone understood.

“Zhou Yinsheng, this bastard, how good he is at disguising himself, deceiving all of us.”

“Such a person is too frightening, his thoughts are too deep. Little sister indeed cannot continue to be with him, or she might not even know when he will plot her demise in the future.”

“This kind of person has no conscience, it’s very scary, and we cannot live with him.”

“Zhou Yinsheng, this bastard, if you like someone else, just like them. Why deceive my sister?”

“No, where is Zhou Yinsheng? I’m going to beat him up right now.”

“Yes, I want to k*ll him.”

Just when Cai Shumin’s family was very angry, Zhou Yinsheng, who had originally gone to the county town, happened to return.

“What’s going on here? Why is everyone here?”

When Zhou Yinsheng came in and saw the unlocked wooden box, which should have been locked, and saw the scattered letters and photos on the box, his pupils instantly contracted.

He felt angry and panicked at the same time.

Just as he was about to say something, as he raised his head, a fist came straight towards his eyes.

“Zhou Yinsheng, you heartless bastard, I’m going to beat you to de*th…”

“No way, sister, what did you say? Sister Shumin is getting divorced?”

Xu Jinning learned this news from Xu Fanghua a few days later, her eyes full of shock.

Although this was what she wanted to see, it seemed too fast. She hadn’t even had the chance to warn her yet, how did the situation develop differently from the original plot?

Perhaps, the plot she had in mind wasn’t as reliable and certain as she thought?

Xu Jinning felt a bit confused.

“Yes, Shumin said she found out that Zhou Yinsheng likes someone else, and they’ve been exchanging letters for years. She said since Zhou Yinsheng doesn’t like her, she doesn’t want to continue with him. Besides, Shumin’s parents and brothers and sisters-in-law also said that Zhou Yinsheng is too good at disguising himself and has too deep schemes. Shumin is not suitable to be with him, so they support their divorce.”

The news of Cai Shumin and Zhou Yinsheng’s divorce spread like wildfire in the village from today onwards.

After all, divorce is a big deal. In this era, not many people are willing to divorce.

They think divorce is extremely embarrassing.

Even some women, enduring hardship, being b*llied, ab*sed, betrayed, and worn down after marriage, still choose not to divorce.

Because they have been indoctrinated with the idea that divorce is shameful, and if they divorce, no one will want them in the future.

Moreover, many women, if they divorce, will be seen as a disgrace by their families, and they will feel ashamed and won’t be allowed to return.
