Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

"Brother, will Dad really divorce Mom?"

On the way back, Zhuang Xiaoting cried all the way. When she was almost at the entrance of the cotton mill’s family alley, she stopped crying and asked timidly.

"Xiaoting, no matter what happens, mom and I will protect you." Zhuang Tunan held his sister's hand and said softly.

Feeling the warmth from her brother's hands, Zhuang Xiaoting's dull eyes gradually became brighter.

After returning home, Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting tacitly agreed not to say anything, but Huang Ling still noticed Zhuang Xiaoting's red and swollen eyes. Under her questioning, Zhuang Xiaoting had to cry and tell her what had happened.

Huang Ling went out without saying a word, came to Li Yiming's shop, and dialed the phone number of the shop in front of the banker's house.

"Hello, I'm looking for Zhuang Chaoying."

After a while, Zhuang Chaoying answered the phone: "I'm Zhuang Chaoying, who are you?"

"Zhuang Chaoying, you are a bastard, a useless coward. You watched your child suffer so much. How could I be so blind to fall for a loser like you? After the New Year, I will take your household registration booklet and get a divorce. You are not allowed to appear in front of us anymore. From now on, Tunan and Xiaoting will only have a mother but no father, because you are not worthy!"

"You do not deserve!"

After cursing, Huang Ling slammed the receiver on the phone. Aunt Li was so distressed that she was about to say something, but when she met Huang Ling's murderous eyes, she immediately became timid and watched Huang Ling throw down a few dimes and leave without saying a word.

As an insider in the cotton mill family alley, if Aunt Li knew about something, it was equivalent to everyone knowing it.

As a result, the news that Huang Ling wanted to divorce Zhuang Chaoying soon spread throughout the alley.

When Song Ying found out, she was shocked: "Sister Ling, are you really planning to divorce Teacher Zhuang?"

"Well, why keep them?" Huang Ling recounted what happened to the two children when they went to the village to pay New Year's greetings, and then said in a firm tone.

"I had already decided to divorce him, but I was worried that I couldn't support two children with my salary alone. He doesn't give me living expenses anymore, and Tunan said he can make money as a tutor, so why should I keep him? I'll cut off all ties with him so that my two children won't suffer in the future."

Song Ying was so disappointed: "What's wrong with this teacher Zhuang? He seems quite normal at other times, but why does he get so confused when it comes to their family's affairs? He deserves it!"

After scolding her, Song Ying said to Huang Ling: "Sister Ling, if you don't have enough money, don't be polite to me."

Huang Ling held Song Ying's hand and was deeply moved: "Song Ying, the happiest thing in my life is that I am assigned to the same yard as you and become your neighbor."

"Sister Ling, I feel embarrassed for what you said."

On the other hand, the Zhuang family was in chaos. Based on Zhuang Chaoying's understanding of Huang Ling, he knew that his wife was determined to divorce him.

Master Zhuang was furious, and walked around the hall with his hands behind his back: "This is rebellious, this is rebellious, how can a woman take the initiative to file for divorce, this is simply rebellious against the heavens."

Grandma Zhuang was also very anxious: "Divorce is nothing, at most we can find Chaoying a more virtuous woman. The key now is that both children are on Huang Ling's side. If we divorce, the children we have raised for so many years will have nothing to do with our Zhuang family."

"Hmph, who can you blame? It's your precious eldest son, a good-for-nothing. Your wife is disobedient, and you are an ungrateful person for raising two children." Grandpa Zhuang pointed at Zhuang Chaoying's nose and cursed.

Zhuang Chaoying looked at his hideous father in disbelief: "Dad, you called me a waste?"

"That's not what you said when I passed the technical secondary school and became a teacher. That's not what you said when I handed you my salary. That's not what you said when Huang Ling and I had a huge argument over salary."

"Now you're calling me a waste? Who is responsible for my current situation?"

Mr. Zhuang was so angry that he forgot to refute for a moment. It was the first time in all these years that his eldest son disobeyed him. After he came to his senses, Mr. Zhuang became even more angry and slapped Zhuang Chaoying hard in the face.

"Rebellion, rebellion, even you want to rebel, I'm your father, how dare you talk to me like this!"

Zhuang Chaoying covered his face with his hands. The burning pain continued to stimulate his heart which was about to collapse, and tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.

"I should have rebelled long ago! I should have rebelled long ago!"

Zhuang Ganmei said sarcastically: "Brother, I have to say something to you. There are no parents in the world who are not wrong. How can you talk to your parents like this..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhuang Chaoying grabbed him by the collar and yelled, "Shut up! If your parents hadn't favored you, how could things have turned out like this? Over the years, at least half of my salary has been subsidized to you by your parents. What qualifications do you have to blame me?"

"Brother, what you said doesn't make sense. Your money is for honoring our parents. We have never used your money." Zhuang Ganmei's wife was unhappy when she heard this.

Zhuang Chaoying became even more angry after hearing this, and pointed at the inner room: "You didn't use my money? Then tell me, where did the TV and tape recorder in the inner room come from? With your two salaries to support a family of six, how can you save enough money to buy these appliances?"

"Zhuang Chaoying, you are not capable of being kicked out of the house by your wife and children. Don't make a scene here. This is my home. If you continue to act unreasonably like this, I will kick you out..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhuang Ganmei was hit by a punch. Zhuang Chaoying was completely different from his usual bookish demeanor. He was now murderous and looked like a madman.

Zhuang Ganmei was in so much pain that he didn't care about anything else and started to wrestle with Zhuang Chaoying. He was a laborer and naturally his strength was not comparable to that of Zhuang Chaoying, a teacher. In no time he beat Zhuang Chaoying until his face was covered in blood.

Only then did Grandma Zhuang pull the two apart, and then pretended to criticize Zhuang Ganmei: "Second brother, are you crazy? How could you fight with your eldest brother?"

"Hmph, he was the first to start." Zhuang Ganmei said unhappily.

Grandma Zhuang turned to Zhuang Chaoying and said, "You too, how could you hit your brother?"

Zhuang Chaoying covered his nose with his hands in embarrassment, blood still oozing out of his nose, but the pain in his body was not even one ten-thousandth of what he felt in his heart. He never imagined that his parents and brother, whom he had spent half his life supporting, would treat him like this.

"Dad, Mom, over the years, have you never considered Hualin and I as a family?"

Grandma Zhuang found a towel for Zhuang Chaoying and comforted her, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? I carried you three siblings in my womb for ten months and gave birth to you. How could I treat you as outsiders?"

"Then why do you always favor the second child, Mom? I have never begged you since I was a child. Today I just want you to tell me the truth, the truth, okay?" Zhuang Chaoying blocked his nose with a towel and said sadly.

There was a trace of struggle in Grandma Zhuang's eyes, but she quickly recovered: "You are already a grown-up, why are you still talking nonsense like a child..."

"Why? I just want to hear the truth. Is it that difficult?" Zhuang Chaoying shook off Grandma Zhuang's hand, his eyes full of desolation. The greatest sorrow is a dead heart. At this moment, he felt that his heart was as cold as the weather outside.

"Chaoying, where are you going?"

Zhuang Chaoying ignored his mother and left the Zhuang family on his own. At this moment, he finally understood that this was his parents' home and his second brother's family's home, but not his home.

"Don't bother with him, he's a loser. Let him go outside to get some cool air and wake up. He's giving me the cold shoulder." Grandpa Zhuang stopped Grandma Zhuang who was trying to pull her son away.

Grandma Zhuang wanted to say something, but Zhuang Ganmei and his wife echoed, "Big brother is really outrageous. He can't control his wife, and his children are angry with their father. He should be taught a lesson."

"Alas, what sin have I committed~~~"

In a blink of an eye, it is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, which is also the first official working day after the Chinese New Year.

Early in the morning, Huang Ling prepared her ID card, household registration booklet, marriage certificate, and certificate issued by the Women's Federation. After making breakfast for her two children, she took these documents to the middle school affiliated to the cotton mill.

The school has not started yet, but the teachers have returned to school early to prepare for the start of school.

Zhuang Chaoying was shocked by Huang Ling's arrival. He said to Huang Ling in an almost pleading tone: "Can we talk about it when we get home?"

"There's no need. Just bring your ID card and we'll go get it done directly." Huang Ling looked at Zhuang Chaoying coldly.

Zhuang Chaoying panicked: "A Ling, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Can you give me another chance?"

Huang Ling's eyes were red. "Didn't I give you a chance? Count how many chances I have given you since we got married. But have you ever stood by me and the child? No, not even once!"

"Zhuang Chaoying, let's go. Don't force me to make things too ugly. Give yourself some dignity."

Zhuang Chaoying tried to pull Huang Ling's hand, but she dodged him with disgust. He could only bite the bullet and continue to beg: "A Ling, Xiao Ting is still young and can't be without a father. Please do it for the sake of the child..."

"Bah, you are not worthy to mention children to me. If it weren't for the two children, how could I have tolerated your family for so many years!" Huang Ling gritted her teeth when she thought of the grievances she had suffered over the years.

Zhuang Chaoying said in an extremely bitter voice: "A Ling, no matter what, I am the father of the child. If you insist on getting a divorce, each of us can have one child..."

"You're dreaming. I will never let Tunan and Xiaoting suffer from your family's bullying again. Don't even think about it!"

Seeing Huang Ling's resolute attitude, Zhuang Chaoying could only grit his teeth and say, "If that's the case, then I don't agree to a divorce."

"It's fine if you don't leave. Then I can only talk to your colleagues and leaders and see what they say."

After saying this, Huang Ling rushed into the office where the meeting was in progress, scaring Zhuang Chaoying so much that his face turned pale. He was a man who cared most about his reputation. If his superiors and colleagues knew that his wife was forcing him to divorce, and that neither of his two children wanted to be with him, how would he face people in school in the future? How would he have the confidence to teach those students?

"A Ling, you are going to destroy me."

Huang Ling took a deep breath: "You forced me to do this."

"A Ling, one night of marriage is a hundred nights of love. We have loved each other before. Is it necessary to make such a fuss?"

Faced with Zhuang Chaoying's affectionate offensive, Huang Ling was extremely disgusted.

"The thing I regret most in my life is marrying you, Zhuang Chaoying, do you know what I hate the most?"

"What I hate the most is why I keep holding out hope for you even though I know you're a piece of shit!"

"You make me feel like I'm the dumbest idiot in the world!"

Zhuang Chaoying felt as if his chest was hit by a thousand-pound hammer. The suffocating feeling of being unable to breathe almost made him collapse to the ground. At this moment, he realized that his wife actually hated him so much.

"Why? What did I do that I ended up like this?"

Zhuang Chaoying cried bitterly, but Huang Ling just watched coldly. She only hated herself for not developing such a hard heart earlier, which caused her children to suffer so much injustice time and time again.

This time, she won't be soft-hearted.

"Teacher Zhuang, what are you doing..."

The meeting in the office had ended at some point, and when everyone opened the door, they saw a surprising scene.

Zhuang Chaoying quickly wiped away her tears and stood up: "It's okay, a relative of mine passed away in my hometown..."

"Is that so? Then Teacher Zhuang, you should go and deal with the funeral first. There are still a few days before school starts anyway," said the principal.

"Okay, then we'll leave first." Zhuang Chaoying was about to pull Huang Ling away, but she shook his arm off and left first.

Zhuang Chaoying had no choice but to follow her and escape from here. He could clearly feel that his colleagues were looking at him strangely.

"You are still the same, still hypocritical and obsessed with face. You have never changed!"

After leaving the affiliated high school, Huang Ling said with a sarcastic look on her face.

Zhuang Chaoying looked pale and was silent for a long time: "Let's go, I'll go and get a divorce from you."

Soon the two arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

With the certificate issued by the Women's Federation, and the fact that Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying both agreed to divorce, the two quickly completed the divorce.

The moment she walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, rays of sunlight shone on her body. Huang Ling looked up and saw that the gray sky had cleared up without her noticing.

"Sister Ling."

"mom."

"Auntie Huang."

Huang Ling waved her hand and said, "Let's go to a restaurant today. I'll treat you."

Zhuang Chaoying looked at the backs of Tuanan and Xiaoting as they turned and left after a slight hesitation. He felt as if the sky had fallen down. He felt dizzy and fell straight to the ground. Thanks to the many kind-hearted people these days, he was sent to the hospital. When he woke up again, it was already evening.

In a blink of an eye, schools were over. Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan went to Shanghai, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting were also preparing to enter the sprint stage of the third year of junior high school, and Xiang Pengfei also returned to Suzhou from Guizhou. He learned from Lin Dongzhe the news of Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying's divorce, and he was immediately struck by lightning.

It was Huang Ling who noticed his abnormality and talked to him for a whole night before Xiang Pengfei returned to normal.

At the same time, not long after Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan arrived at the school, the Go Academy sent another invitation letter. The second China-Japan Go Challenge Tournament was rekindled, and the Japanese Go community was gearing up to avenge the previous defeat. (End of this chapter)
