Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Let’s get a divorce. Look at you, you’re as fat as a pig. I feel disgusted just looking at you!”
Lan Shu opened her eyes and found herself lying on a strange bed. She had not yet made sense of her current situation when she heard this.
The surroundings were a little dark, but she could tell that she was in a narrow room. There was also a strange smell in the air.
“Being with you will only make me a laughing stock. People will say that I, Xu Yunjie, married a lazy and ugly stupid woman!”
The voice sounded again. The other party’s tone was filled with disgust and resentment.
Lan Shu sat up in bed and looked up in the direction of the voice. She saw a man in a dark blue work suit glaring at her a few steps away.
Lan Shu: “?”
What was going on? Where was she?
Suddenly, a series of memories that did not belong to her rushed into her mind.
It turned out that she had transmigrated!
She transmigrated into a novel set in the 1980s that she had read not long ago.
The female protagonist of the novel was a child who was mistakenly brought home. Although she was not the family’s biological daughter, her adoptive parents completely treated her as one.
As for the real daughter, Lan Shu, who was left to wander outside, she was a fat, lazy, and divorced woman!
Her current identity was the real young miss who would serve as the fake daughter’s foil in the future!
Lan Shu couldn’t stay calm.
She had been an orphan since she was young and had always believed that knowledge could change one’s fate.
After more than ten years of hard work, she finally got into a university and graduated successfully. She could finally walk into society and show off her skills. In the end, she transmigrated?!
Lan Shu’s stunned expression was seen by Xu Yunjie, who frowned.
He knew that his words were hard for Lan Shu to accept, but she had to accept them!
“Don’t pester me anymore! I’ll return the money and food your family gave me back then. As for you… I’ve never touched you. You won’t suffer a loss even with a divorce.
“As long as you agree to the divorce, I’ll help you resolve the crime you committed this time. Otherwise, leave it to the union to deal with!”
A crime?
Lan Shu quickly searched through the additional memories in her mind and then understood what was going on.
When she was reading the novel, she only knew that the real daughter, Lan Shu, grew up in the countryside. After a year of marriage, she was divorced because she was lazy and despised by others.
But now, she realized that there was something else going on!
It wasn’t that Lan Shu wasn’t worthy of Xu Yunjie, but that Xu Yunjie wasn’t worthy of Lan Shu!
Although the real daughter who was left in the countryside could not compare to the daughter of rich families in the city, she was still not bad.
She had three older brothers. As the only daughter in the family, she had been doted on since she was young to the extent that she did not have to take care of herself.
She ate and drank every day and was too lazy to move. Her figure was much bigger than ordinary women’s.
Even so, because of her good family background, there were many men in the village who wanted to marry her!
Three years ago, the 16-year-old Lan Shu had taken a fancy to Xu Yunjie who came from the same village.
Coincidentally, because the Xu family had many siblings and was poor, the Xu family suggested letting Xu Yunjie marry into the Lan family for 200 catties of food and 100 yuan.
The 16-year-old girl happily got engaged to Xu Yunjie. However, not long after the engagement, Xu Yunjie was admitted to a specialized university. It was the Lan family who provided for him during his two years of schooling.
After graduation, Xu Yunjie married Lan Shu as promised.
However, on their wedding day, the two of them slept separately.
The day after the wedding, Xu Yunjie moved to the staff dormitory of the county’s machinery factory, avoiding her like a plague. He used the excuse that he was busy with work and did not go back even once for an entire year.
When the Lan family learned about this, they knew that Xu Yunjie had become a university graduate who looked down on villagers.
However, seeing that Lan Shu was devoted to Xu Yunjie, Eldest Brother Xu sent Lan Shu to the county and let her stay in Xu Yunjie’s staff dormitory.
Lan Shu stayed in the staff dormitory for a month, but Xu Yunjie never showed a kind expression or got close to her at all.
As Lan Shu was pampered by her family and didn’t know how to do anything, she didn’t do any housework during her stay in the staff dormitory. She just waited for Xu Yunjie to bring her food every day.
Xu Yunjie, who didn’t like Lan Shu to begin with, hated this marriage even more!
Hence, he slowly started to mock and ridicule Lan Shu. He bullied her mentally and did not even get food for Lan Shu in time.
He wanted to use this method to force Lan Shu to return to the village obediently!
Lan Shu was definitely not someone who could be wronged verbally!
Xu Yunjie couldn’t take care of her, so she borrowed money from the neighbors in the same building. Following her standard of living at home, she ate eggs and meat buns every day. In the end, she owed more than 20 yuan.
Initially, on account that she was Xu Yunjie’s wife, the neighbors agreed to lend her some money. However, they realized that they could not get the money back!
Xu Yunjie was unwilling to pay for Lan Shu, so the neighbors who had debts to collect could only bring the matter to the union.
If no one mediated, Lan Shu would be taken away by the union.
Losing money was a small matter, but she might even be jailed for a few days because of this!
Lan Shu guessed that the host of this body might have gotten into trouble back then and was too timid to tell her family about it. She was threatened by Xu Yunjie and agreed to the divorce.
In this era, divorce was a big deal!
Divorced women would be gossiped about everywhere they went.
Therefore, after the real daughter, Lan Shu, acknowledged her family, she was inferior to the fake daughter in terms of reputation!
Lan Shu took a deep breath…
Although she didn’t know why she had come to this world, since she was here, she couldn’t let her life take the same terrible path as what happened in the original novel.
She was no longer the original Lan Shu. She had no interest in Xu Yunjie, this self-righteous gold digger who lived off a woman and eventually turned his back on her!
Therefore, this divorce was definitely going to happen, but not according to the original divorce law.
“I’m fine with getting a divorce.” Lan Shu looked at Xu Yunjie and said coldly, “But there are some debts that we have to settle.”
At first, Xu Yunjie had expected Lan Shu to agree to the divorce out of fear. However, he had never thought that Lan Shu, who finally agreed to the divorce, would look so calm.
No matter what, it was fine as long as they could get a divorce.
“Don’t worry, I won’t take a single cent from your family.”
Lan Shu nodded when she heard that. “Then let’s talk about something other than the 200 catties of food and 100 yuan.”
Hearing this, Xu Yunjie was stunned.
“Other than that, is there anything else between us?”
Hearing him say this, Lan Shu immediately revealed a mocking expression.
“Have you forgotten who paid your tuition fees for the two years you were in school? There’s also your monthly food expenses, the money for you to buy stationery, and even the clothes you’re wearing right now were bought by us. Your Xu family has never spent a single cent on these!”
Seeing Xu Yunjie’s face darken because of her words, Lan Shu sneered.
That wasn’t all she had to settle with Xu Yunjie!
