Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

"Okay, since you insist so much, I also have a request."

He Yuzhu's voice echoed in the room, every word was clear and powerful, revealing his inner calmness and rationality.

He raised his hand slightly, tapping his thigh with his fingertips, as if he was thinking about how to word, and as if trying to give himself a little courage.

His eyes swept across his father and mother, and there was both determination and a barely perceptible coldness in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and continued, "If you agree, I will agree to your request. But please remember, this is not an unconditional concession."

Upon hearing this, Yu's father and mother smiled at each other. Their smiles showed satisfaction with He Yuzhu's compromise, as well as a hint of pride in having won.

They exchanged a knowing look, as if they had already expected He Yuzhu to put forward a condition, and were just curious about what the condition would be.

"Brother!" He Yushui couldn't hold back any longer, she stood up suddenly, clenched her fists, and shouted anxiously.

Her eyes were full of confusion and anger, and she was even more hostile when she looked at Yu's parents. In her opinion, Yu's parents' demands were simply unreasonable, and she couldn't understand why He Yuzhu had to compromise so much.

"Yu Shui, don't be anxious." He Yuzhu gently patted He Yu Shui's shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

The look he gave He Yushui was full of tenderness and comfort, as if telling her: "Everything is under my control."

Afterwards, He Yuzhu took a deep breath and focused his sharp eyes on Yu's father and Yu's mother again. Although his voice was not loud, every word was clear, revealing his unquestionable determination.

"My request is very simple," he said slowly, each word sounding as if it had been carefully considered. "If you insist on your opinion, then I only have one request, which is to divorce Yu Haitang."

"divorce!"

These three words were like thunder, exploding between Yu Haitang, Yu's father, and Yu's mother. Their exclamations rang out almost at the same time, filled with incredible shock.

Yu Haitang's face turned pale in an instant. She raised her head abruptly and looked at He Yuzhu. Her eyes, which usually sparkled with vitality, were now filled with tears, and her eyes were full of sadness and confusion.

Her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a word. She could only stare at He Yuzhu, as if she was looking at a stranger who was about to leave.

He Yuzhu did not avoid Yu Haitang's gaze. He looked straight at her, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes, but was then replaced by determination.

"Yes, my request is a divorce." He repeated it with a firmer tone, as if telling everyone that this was a decision he had made after careful consideration and could not be changed.

Upon hearing this, Yu's father's face instantly turned gloomy. His eyes widened with anger and his gaze shot towards He Yuzhu like a knife, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

"You are threatening Haitang and our Yu family with a divorce!" His voice was deep and powerful, with a strong threat. "Do you think we dare not agree?"

As he spoke, Yu's father clenched his fists, veins popping out, as if he was going to swing at He Yuzhu in the next second. However, he finally held back and just stared at He Yuzhu coldly, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

Yu's mother anxiously pulled Yu's father's sleeve, trying to dissuade him, but her voice was drowned out by the tense atmosphere at the scene and seemed so powerless.

"Dad..." Yu Haitang's voice was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. She sensed the anger and determination in her father's words, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in her heart.

She hurriedly took a few steps forward and tried to hold her father's arm, her eyes full of pleading and worry, "Dad, don't say that..."

However, Father Yu seemed not to have heard his daughter's words. His eyes were fixed on He Yuzhu as sharp as torches, as if he could see through him.

There was a depressing and tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone's breathing became heavy.

He Yuzhu faced Yu's father's scrutiny with an indifferent expression. He sighed softly, as if he had already expected all this.

"Dad, if you understand me this way, there is nothing I can do about it," he said slowly, with a hint of helplessness and determination in his tone, "I only have this one request."

There was no sign of retreat in his eyes, but he was more resolute in his stance. He knew that once he took this step, there would be no turning back, but he also knew that he had to do this for the future of himself and Yu Haitang.

Father Yu looked at He Yuzhu's resolute eyes, and a surge of anger and disappointment surged in his heart.

He knew very well that even if he gave up those so-called interests at this moment, he could not regain He Yuzhu's trust and dependence on his family. Thinking of this, he sneered, and a calculating light flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll promise you on behalf of Haitang."

Father Yu finally spoke. His voice was cold and resolute, as if he was making a major decision. "But I hope you understand that this is your own choice. Don't regret it in the future."

After saying this, he turned and looked at Yu Haitang, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

He knew that doing so might be a little cruel to his daughter, but in this society where profit is paramount, he had to consider the future of his family.

"Haitang, don't be sad." Father Yu comforted his daughter softly, "Dad is doing this for your own good. Find a good family in the future."

When Yu Haitang heard this, her eyes instantly became moist and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they were about to burst out in the next second.

She stared at her father with eyes wide open in disbelief, her voice trembling but firm:

"Dad, I don't agree. Don't make the decision for me!" She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all, only inner struggle and pain.

She turned around abruptly and looked at He Yuzhu beside her, with pleading and reluctance in her eyes. "Brother Yuzhu, don't listen to my dad's nonsense. I won't divorce you."

There was a tearful tone in her voice, but it was extremely firm, as if she was proving something to He Yuzhu and herself.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu curled up a sarcastic smile, which showed helplessness towards reality and disappointment towards Haitang.

He opened his mouth slowly, his voice low and powerful: "Then have you given up on compensation?" These words were like a sharp knife, stabbing directly into Yu Haitang's heart.

Yu Haitang was stunned. She looked at He Yuzhu's cold and determined eyes, and an unprecedented panic surged in her heart.

She subconsciously looked towards her mother, only to see that her mother was looking at her with pleading eyes, her eyes full of tears and helplessness.

At that moment, Yu Haitang's heart seemed to be torn into two halves, one side was the persistence of love, and the other side was the bond of family affection.

"I......"

Yu Haitang opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Her heart was full of contradictions and struggles. She didn't want to give up her marriage with He Yuzhu, but she also didn't want to see her parents get into trouble because of her.

In the end, she could only lower her head, tears silently sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the cold ground.

He Yuzhu looked at Yu Haitang like this, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He smiled sarcastically and shook his head secretly.

How much he once loved Yu Haitang, loved her innocence, kindness and perseverance.

But now, what he saw was a selfish, stupid and indecisive woman.

He didn't know how he fell in love with Yu Haitang, and he didn't know whether this marriage could continue.

"Haitang, listen to your parents and agree to a divorce. They can't harm you."

Yu's mother's voice was gentle but with a hint of unquestionable determination. As she spoke, she gently stroked the back of Yu Haitang's hand, trying to comfort her in this way.

Her eyes were fixed on her daughter's face, not missing any subtle changes in expression, waiting for Yu Haitang's inner defenses to gradually loosen.

Seeing that Yu Haitang's expression was wavering, Yu's mother immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued to intensify her persuasion:

"Haitang, don't you understand? In the He family, you are always an outsider. This time he can ignore your pregnancy for the sake of his sister, what about next time?

Do you have to wait until you are exhausted and have been ranked last countless times before you wake up? Only your parents are the people in this world who will never hurt you. We will always stand by you. "

At this point, Yu's mother's voice couldn't help but choke up. She looked at her daughter with heartache, as if she had foreseen the future that she didn't want to face.

She imagined Yu Haitang compromising and giving in again and again in the He family until she had exhausted all her enthusiasm and hope, and eventually became helpless and miserable in her old age.

This scene made her heart ache and made her more determined to persuade her daughter to divorce.

Yu Haitang felt mixed emotions as she listened to her mother's words. She closed her eyes and tried not to let the tears fall, but the scenes her mother described emerged involuntarily in her mind.

She seemed to see herself being isolated and helpless in the He family, and gradually losing herself in the disappointments. At that moment, she felt unprecedented fear and confusion.

"Mom..." Yu Haitang finally uttered these two words with difficulty. Her voice was as thin as a thread, but full of determination.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. She looked at her mother, her eyes full of determination and relief, as if at this moment, she had finally made an important decision in her life.

"Mom, you don't have to say anything. I agree to divorce."

There was a subtle tremor in her words, but more of a sense of relief. After saying this, she turned her head and looked at He Yuzhu with a complicated look.

There was disappointment and disgust in her eyes for the past relationship, as well as confusion and expectation for the future life. She seemed to be telling He Yuzhu with this look that the story between them had come to an end.

He Yuzhu looked at Yu Haitang and agreed to his request, and a complex emotion inexplicably surged in his heart.

He thought he would feel the joy of victory, but at this moment he only felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from him.

He looked at Yu Haitang deeply, trying to read something from her eyes, but in the end he only saw determination and indifference.

"He Yuzhu, since Haitang has agreed, let's continue to discuss the compensation."

Father Yu broke the silence at the right time. His voice was calm and firm, and he was obviously prepared for the next negotiations.

"Okay." He Yuzhu nodded, trying to make his voice sound more calm. "After Yu Haitang and I get the divorce certificate, I will give the money directly to her.

As for the job positions, there is a regular position for a helper in the cafeteria and a position for a fitter trainee in the workshop. You can choose according to your own situation. "

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence. Father Yu and Mother Yu exchanged glances, as if they were discussing something.

He Yuzhu stood there quietly, waiting for their reply.

Yu's father's brows were furrowed, his eyes moving back and forth between the cafeteria and the workshop, quickly calculating the pros and cons in his mind.

He sighed softly, seeming to feel a little helpless about the decision he was about to make.

Finally, his eyes fixed on the position of the trainee fitter in the workshop, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he had seen a more promising future.

"Let's choose a position in the workshop." Yu's father raised his head and said to He Yuzhu with a firm gaze. Although his voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable determination.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly to show his understanding. "Okay, then whoever wants to go to work can just report directly to Director Guo. I will let him know in advance."

His tone was calm and sincere, as if he had expected all this.

However, Yu's father did not let down his guard. He knew that the longer the night, the more trouble there would be, and he was even more worried that Yu Haitang would regret it at this critical moment.

So, he stood up without hesitation, regardless of Yu Haitang's recent miscarriage and weak body, and reached out to hold her shoulders, with a firm tone that could not be refused:

"Haitang, let's go now and follow Yuzhu to get the divorce certificate."

Yu Haitang's face turned pale as paper when she heard this. She looked up at her father, her eyes full of disbelief and pain.

She tried to struggle, trying to break free from her father's restraints, but her body was too weak to resist. Tears welled up in her eyes, and finally slid silently down and dripped onto the cold ground.

He Yuzhu looked at this scene with mixed feelings. He wanted to speak up to dissuade them, but in the end he chose to remain silent.

He understood that this was the reality that Yu Haitang had to face, and it was also the inevitable ending between them. So he stood up silently and walked out the door, waiting for Yu Haitang and Yu's father to catch up with him.

In this way, the group set out on the road to the Civil Affairs Bureau. The air was filled with a depressing and heavy atmosphere, as if even breathing had become extremely difficult.

Yu Haitang's heart was filled with endless sadness and confusion. She didn't know what her future would be like, but she knew that the choice she made at this moment would change her destiny forever.
