Transmigrated into a Parvenu’s Ex-wife in the ‘90s Chapter 409

Chapter 409 - "Don't worry too much. It will get better from this point forward." (3)
In the photos were Lu Qingwei and the widow. The photos were not as shocking a Ye Zhiqiang’s but it would for certain still stir up a storm in town.
Lu Qingwei’s face turned beet red and he was speechless. “These are all fake. That wasn’t me in them.”
“Not you?” Shu Jianyang thew another stack of photos on his face. In the photos, Lu Qingwei went with the widow to the hospital. His sister was in one of them, stroking the widow’s stomach with a happy look. “It wasn’t your sister who’s pregnant; it was this widow. Am I right?”
Lu Qingwei began sweating. His lips parted as he looked over at Shu Li. He liked through gritted teeth, “No, my sister is pregnant. We just happened to run into her.”
“Oh,” said Shu Jianyang. He clapped his hands and two burly men brought the widow over. “We took her for an ultrasound. Congratulations, it’s a boy. If you insist that the child is not yours, I shall let the Sun family knows about this. You have any idea what they will say…… knowing that they are about to have a grandson?”
The Sun family was the widow’s husband’s family. They were somewhat powerful in town. They had only one son. He was gravely ill at the time but they had him got married anyway, hoping he would leave a child behind. Unfortunately, he passed away shortly after getting married. The widow was a pitiful one as well, being sold by her parents to the Sun family and widowed at a young age. That being said, being pitiful was not a reason to try and rob someone else’s husband.
Shu Jianyang had his suspicion that the Sun family had something to do it. They might want her to get pregnant even if it was someone else’s child. It would be difficult for Lu Qingwei to keep this child. The Sun family might already know about it but just waiting for the pregnancy to stabilize before expressing their intentions.
Sure enough, Lu Qingwei’s face changed colors. He knew full well that had the Sun family found out that the baby was a boy, they would for sure want to keep the child. It would be impossible for him to fight against the Sun family.
“I don’t want to stay at the Sun family. No.” The widow turned pale when she heard Shu Jianyang’s words. She looked at Lu Qingwei with anticipation. “Didn’t you say you are going to marry me? Get a divorce and I will marry you. I am carrying your child. She can have both the kids. If you like daughters, we can have more in the future.”
Her words had basically confirmed everything.
Shu Jianyang nodded and the lawyer behind him pulled out a divorce agreement. “Mr. Lu, please read through this carefully and sign it if everything looks good to you.”
With both evidences and witnesses, Lu Qingwei couldn’t say anything else. He picked up the divorce agreement and started reading through it carefully. He was unhappy when he got to the child support part.
“I had been raising them this entire time. Even if we count till they are 18, I have already raised my daughter for 12 years and my son for 8. Even if we are the splitting it 50/50, I had already done more than half of that. Why do I need to shell out more money?”
The lawyer smiled at him and said, “Mr. Lu, the housework that Madam Su had performed also count as contribution. The children, up until they were 18 years old, should be supported by both parties, not to mention that you are the party at fault. If we are to take this to court, you might have to pay out a majority of your assets.”
Lu Qingwei had no knowledge in this area. In their hometown, whatever the more powerful person said, went. Right now, Shu Jianyang was the more powerful one. He even had both witnesses and evidences. Lu Qingwei didn’t stand a chance whether he was to take it to court or settle out of court.
“Hurry up. I don’t have all day. Sign or we take this to court. I don’t think this will take long,” said Shu Jianyang with a smile.
The smile gave Lu Qingwei the creeps.
“I can pay child support, but 200 a month is too much.” Lu Qingwei took his old man’s job and it was a decent one. He made a total of 400 a month in all and he refused to pay out half of those.
“Okay, then a one time 20,000 yuan. You won’t need to worry a thing about the children from this point forward,” said Shu Jianyang with a threatening look.
20,000 yuan was not a small amount and, after all the money that they had spent on Pingan’s hospital fees, they didn’t have that much savings at home. Lu Qingwei said he didn’t have that kind of money.
After bartering, they agreed on 18,000 yuan and he would not have to worry about hospital fees for college tuitions in the future.
Tears streamed down Shu Li’s cheeks after the divorce papers were signed and the money was in hand. Nobody knew whether she was sad to leave the family or felt relieved.
“Don’t worry too much. It will only get better from now on.” Shu Yan comforted Shu Li with her arm around hers.
“Yes, it will.” Shu Li trust that she would be able to support the three of them on her own.
The two children were very docile, especially Shu Li’s son. They didn’t fuss but were quite like dolls.
“Thank you, Third Brother. It wouldn’t have gone so smoothly if it wasn’t for you.” Cousin was not the same as her own sister. She must be courteous with him. As for Shu Yan, she was her own sister. They could talk later in private. She appreciated Shu Yan’s help and, should her sister need anything from her in the future, she would not say a second word.
