Sister-in-law can support Brother, and Brother can also protect Sister-in-law.
But what about Zhang Heng and me?
Is there such a thing as love between us?
No.
There is nothing.
I slowly took off the ring from my left hand and threw it harshly onto the ground.
“Zhang Heng, let’s get a divorce.”
I said expressionlessly.
Zhang Heng looked at me in disbelief. “Tang Jing, have you lost your mind?”
I raised my tear-filled eyes to look at him. “Zhang Heng, who is really losing their mind, you or me?”
“You're willing to put me down for your mother and sister, so why should I have to compromise for you?”
“Zhang Heng, I’m tired. Tomorrow morning at nine, you’re coming with me to the civil affairs bureau to handle the paperwork.”
Zhang Heng’s expression changed drastically. “Tang Jing, do you really have to make things so final?”
I shook my head with a bitter smile. “It’s not that I’m making things final; it’s that your family has been too much.”
“Zhang Heng, I wish you happiness.”
With that, I pushed back my chair and walked out.
The cold wind outside brushed against my face, making me shiver involuntarily.
I paused at the door, pulling my down jacket tighter around me.
Just then, I heard footsteps approaching from behind.
I turned around to see Sister-in-law and Brother walking towards the entrance.
Sister-in-law was holding a coat in her arms. "Jingjing, it's quite cold outside. Let me walk you home."
Brother nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's late, and it's not safe for a girl like you to be out here alone."
Sister-in-law draped the coat over my shoulders and tucked my loose hair behind my ear. "Jingjing, have you made up your mind?"
I looked at her gratefully. "Sister Ma Yuan, thank you. If it weren't for your protection, I might still be lost."
Sister-in-law chuckled. "Don't call me Sister Ma Yuan; just call me 'Sister'!"
Brother smiled at me. "From now on, you can just call me 'Brother-in-law.'"
Sister-in-law shot him a playful glare. "The girl hasn't even agreed yet, and you're already making plans?"
Brother looked aggrieved. "I'm just eager to have a nephew!"
Sister-in-law rolled her eyes at him. "Even if you want a nephew, it depends on whether others agree!"
I couldn't help but laugh at their playful banter.
I wondered how the Zhang family would feel witnessing this scene.
However, looking at their family, all smiles and joy, it seemed they hadn’t taken the earlier argument to heart at all.
“Sister Ma Yuan” patted my shoulder and said, “Jingjing, you don’t have to say anything. I understand everything.”
“Honestly, I noticed before your wedding that Zhang Heng wasn’t a good person. But I was afraid you would be too straightforward like me, so I didn’t dare to remind you.”
“Besides, your family said that Zhang Heng treated you well. I thought as long as he was good to you, the family matters wouldn’t be a big deal.”
“I didn’t expect Zhang Heng to be such a coward who bullies the weak. His family is also heavily biased towards sons; they actually let you handle all the household chores by yourself.”
“Jingjing, don’t worry. From now on, I will be your strongest support.”
“Sister Ma Yuan” looked at me with concern. “Honestly, I didn’t want to get involved in this matter. After all, the Zhang family hasn’t treated me well either. I was afraid that if I spoke up for you, my mom would say I was meddling.”
“But when I saw your parents’ behavior at the wedding that day, I just couldn’t hold back.”
I asked her in confusion, “What do you mean?”
“Sister Ma Yuan” smiled and said, “Jingjing, do you remember how your parents gave each server a big red envelope on the wedding day?”
I nodded. “Yes. My dad said the staff worked really hard on the wedding day, so he gave them extra red envelopes.”
