Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Yuan Caizhen Comes to Visit
Tong Yao didn’t know what to say to Yuan Caizhen’s words.
"And now?"
"I finalized the divorce procedure yesterday." Yuan Caizhen said without any sadness. Instead, there was a sense of relief on her face, "Yaoyao, you have no idea. I’ve been physically and mentally exhausted during this time. Fortunately, I’m finally free now. I feel sick every time I enter that house full of his shadow. But the house was bought by my parents for me. So I sold it, divided the savings equally, and the factory he started after marriage, I didn’t ask for it. I have the custody of our son. He has the right to visit, but I don’t want to see him at all. So I’m processing my documents to go abroad, planning to live there with my child."
Once abroad, Si Weimin will have no control over them. She doesn’t want Si Weimin, the scum, to have any contact with her son.
She never wants to see Si Weimin again in her life. Every time she thinks about what Si Weimin has done, she feels nauseous. She can’t help but wish to kill and skin Si Weimin alive.
She thought she had found herself a good man, but he turned out to be such a disgusting person.
Thank goodness she got divorced, so she doesn’t have to see Si Weimin anymore.
Understanding Yuan Caizhen’s feelings, Tong Yao said, "You hate my uncle so much, you surely do not want to hear the title ’Sister-in-law’ anymore, if you don’t mind, can I call you Yuanjie from now on? I used to call you that when I was a child."
Yuan Caizhen was moved by Tong Yao’s words, she comforted, "Yaoyao, you are really understanding. Everything would have been so good if it weren’t for all these messy things. I never could have imagined that Si Weimin was such a disgusting person, capable of such filthy acts. I never understood why Xiaochen hated him so much, until I discovered their dirty affairs, then I realized the kind of person he is."
"I was also shocked when I found out. I didn’t understand why Ahchen was so cold to his mom. But after finding out about these things, even though it’s immoral, it’s not my place to say anything as a daughter-in-law, so I’ve pretended not to know. You’ve been married to my uncle for so many years, actually, I think if you hadn’t found out, it would have been a kind of luck. But it seems like it was destined, and you still found out."
In fact, something Tong Yao understood very well was that Yuan Caizhen wouldn’t have lived a bad life had she not divorced except for her psychological factors.
With this incident as a backdrop, Si Weimin would feel ashamed and give way to Yuan Caizhen.
Of course, Yuan Caizhen couldn’t accept such a relationship.
Yuan Caizhen was fastidious, she couldn’t accept such things.
Of course, if it were her, she wouldn’t be able to accept it either.
In this incident, Yuan Caizhen was the most innocent victim. To say that Si Weimin was her calamity would be absolutely correct.
Yuan Caizhen laughed bitterly, "It’s my own fault for being naive. I should have noticed earlier. Xiaohui looks so much like your uncle, and his affection for her isn’t normal. But at that time, I didn’t believe he could be such a person, and your mother-in-law seemed much older than him."
Tong Yao chuckled, "Yuanjie, the reason you think that way is that you haven’t seen my mother-in-law when she was young. She was the prettiest young wife in the village back then, and many people fancied her."
Yuan Caizhen was taken aback, thinking about Lin Fengying’s features, she suddenly understood but was confused, "There’s one thing I don’t quite understand. Since they had feelings for each other, and your father-in-law had passed away, why would your uncle leave? Even if they couldn’t be together openly, no one would interfere with their secret love, would they?"
Moreover, it wasn’t a rare occasion for a younger brother to wed his elder brother’s wife in the countryside during those days. Why did Si Weimin have to leave home and come to Kyoto?
If Si Weimin hadn’t come to Kyoto, they wouldn’t have met. Before she got married, many outstanding men were pursuing her. If she hadn’t met Si Weimin, her life would have been good.
Recalling the cause of her father-in-law’s death, a touch of sarcasm crept onto Tong Yao’s lips, "I don’t know much about what happened back then, but as far as I know, my father-in-law found out about their affairs in the hospital. Out of anger, he jumped from the second floor, which led to his paralysis. After being taken home, we don’t know what else upset him, but he committed suicide."
There were things Tong Yao didn’t say explicitly, but Yuan Caizhen understood and her face turned quite pale.
Being Si Weimin’s wife, she knew his physical condition better than anyone else. When she met him, Si Weimin was almost thirty years old, but his sexual demand was always high.
At the time he was with Lin Fengying, he was just over twenty, in his prime. His sister-in-law was always around, and his brother was bedridden. Some things didn’t need to be thought about, they were plain to see.
If you walk by the river often, your shoes will get wet sooner or later. It must have been that Xiaochen’s father discovered something, which upset him so much that he committed suicide.
Si Weimin must have left home out of guilt.
He also might have been afraid that people would gossip about Xiaohui when she grew up.
In short, both of them were feeling guilty for their actions.
After putting together the causes and consequences, Yuan Caizhen was even more convinced that her decision to divorce was correct. Thankfully, she was firm and filed for divorce, otherwise, she would be disgusted for a lifetime.
She will be abroad soon, and she will not have to see such a nauseous person again in her life.
Yuan Caizhen sat at the milk tea shop for a whole morning, and then she invited Tong Yao for lunch as a farewell.
Because she was going out for dinner with Wang Chun in the evening, Tong Yao got off work early to freshen up. She didn’t deliberately dress up too fancy, just a little more formal, so she looked very classy.
When Si Chen came back from work, Tong Yao had already prepared his change of clothes. After a brief refreshing, they left for the restaurant they had agreed on with Wang Chun.
This restaurant was a mid-to-high end one. It served both Chinese and Western cuisine, and its interior decoration was considered opulent for that time period.
There was leisurely music playing in the restaurant, and the guests were speaking softly. No one was making loud noises.
After her rebirth, this was the first time Tong Yao had dined in such an upscale restaurant. Previously in Li City, she thought that most people in this era were living in hardship. But after moving to Kyoto, her opinion changed.
There was no lack of wealthy people in Kyoto, and naturally, there was no shortage of high-consumption venues.
Having seen much of the world in her previous life, Tong Yao was surprised to see such an extravagant place existing at the moment. However, she didn’t show any obvious reaction, nor did she appear timid like she had never seen the world. She just was very calm and casual.
After all, having lived twice, this was a small scene for her.
However, Si Chen’s reaction was a surprise to her.
