CHAPTER 1 - A CHICKEN THAT DOES NOT LAY EGGS

March 1999.

When she got home from work, she pushed the car into the garage.

When I came out, I heard my mother-in-law and the neighbors talking.

Lin Lishu called out softly, Mom.

Her temper was as gentle as her long hair.

Grandma rolled her eyes and impatiently said, Why are you so late today? Why aren't you quickly cooking?

Lin Lishu lowered her head and replied, I came back a little late for the family meeting today.

After saying that, Lin Lisha took her bag and went upstairs.

At the corner, she heard her mother-in-law complain to her neighbors, What's the use of my daughter-in-law being good-looking? She's just a chicken that doesn't know how to lay eggs. She's been married to my Cheng for three years and her stomach hasn't even moved …

Lin Liesu quickened her pace up the stairs, leaving her mother-in-law's nagging behind.

She was 23 years old this year. At the age of 20, after graduating from normal school, she became a language teacher in the first primary school. Half a year later, she married her husband, Liu Cheng.

Two years ago, Liu Cheng quit his job in the system and went into business. Now, he is the boss of this city's Entertainment City.

When her son became a rich boss, her mother-in-law would talk all day, What's the use of having so much money? I want a grandson!

Tonight, Liu Cheng returned home for the first time in his life.

Liu Cheng wore a flowery shirt and black pants, while wearing an ill-fitting black suit. Around his neck, he wore a large gold chain as thick as a pinky finger, looking rather free.

The mother-in-law sat at the table and said eerily, Cheng, you and Li Shu have been married for such a long time, how come you can't bear it? I believe you won't have a problem …

Lin Lishu lowered her head and picked at the rice grains in her mouth.

The atmosphere at the table was as oppressive as the dark brown coat that Lin Liesu wore.

Granny's meaning was very clear. If Lin Liesu couldn't give birth to a child, they should divorce her as soon as possible and not disturb her from carrying her grandson.

Liu Cheng was fed up with the hubbub. Throwing down his chopsticks, he headed to his bedroom.

Lin Liesu cleaned up the dishes and changed the students' homework.

It was already 9: 30 in the evening. She hastily washed her face and rinsed her mouth before entering her bedroom.

Cough, cough … Lin Lishu coughed from the thick smoke. Liu Cheng leaned against the headboard with a cigarette in his mouth, leisurely puffing.

I've said this several times already. Can you stop smoking in the bedroom? There was a faint note of helplessness in her voice.

Liu Cheng stubbed out his cigarette, smiling lightly as he said, Sure, if you don't smoke, then just play with your wife.

She hated bed matters the most. Ever since she found out that Liu Cheng had gotten involved with a waiter in Entertainment City two years ago, she had instinctively resisted being intimate with Liu Cheng.

If not for the fact that she would have been exposed, coupled with the fact that Liu Cheng was adamant on not getting a divorce, Lin Liesu would have been divorced a long time ago.

Lin Lishu retreated to the door and lightly said, I'm going to the hut to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Liu Cheng leaped up from the bed, grabbed her hand and touched it twice.

Then, he used the key. The tone of the play said, Your husband finally came back, but did you miss me?

Lin Lishu lowered her head and did not look at her.

Liu Cheng stuck out his index finger, poking it under her chin as he smiled with extreme pride, How can those ladies outside compare to my wife?

As he spoke, he wanted to kiss Lin Liesu's face.

The difference in power between men and women was too great, and Lin Liesu could not resist it.

After getting intimate with her, Liu Cheng said earnestly, Wife, let's have a child!

Lin Liesu's heart was already dead. Liu Cheng had been playing with women outside all year long, and the small flame she had towards marriage had long since been extinguished.

Liu Cheng would only return home once every few months to ask for a couple's life, but Lin Lishu would refuse even if she could.

She was unable to refuse him. She lay on the bed like a walking corpse, at the mercy of Liu Cheng.

The last time they shared a room was last New Year's.

Suddenly, there was a burst of urgency. There was a sharp knock on the door.

Lin Liesu broke away from Liu Cheng and went out to open the door.

It turned out to be a good friend and colleague, Qin Fang. She had the same office as Qin Fang, and both of them were language teachers.

Lin Liesu opened the door and warmly welcomed Qin Fang in.

However, Qin Fang was no longer as intimate as she used to be. She looked at her with disdain before walking into the living room haughtily, Liu Cheng, come out!

CHAPTER 2 - MOTHER DEPENDING ON YOUR SON THE ONE WHO SHOULD GET OUT IS YOU!

Qin Fang's voice was loud, and his mother-in-law, who had already fallen asleep, was also taunted awake by her.

At the same time, Liu Cheng and his mother-in-law came out of their respective bedrooms and stood in the living room.

When Qin Fang saw Liu Cheng, she immediately changed her expression. The sharp edge had disappeared, replaced by the bashfulness of a pear-stained flower.

Liu Cheng gave Lin Lishu an embarrassed look before turning to Qin Fang, It's late at night, what's wrong?

Qin Fang leaned weakly against Liu Cheng as she took out a list from her bag and stuffed it into Liu Cheng's hands.

Heartless, I'm pregnant! Qin Fang said coquettishly.

Liu Cheng held the pregnancy test form with a dazed look on his face.

Upon hearing the word pregnant, Grandma immediately became spirited.

She rushed to her son's side, grabbed the list, and looked at it again and again. Sure enough, it said that she had been pregnant for ten weeks.

Cheng, is the child yours? That's great!

Qin Fang turned her head and said to the elderly, Auntie, from what you're saying, the child isn't Liu Cheng's. Can I come and look for him?

The mother-in-law grabbed Qin Fang's hand, laughing so hard that her face was full of wrinkles. Aiyo, my good daughter, auntie said the wrong thing just now. Don't mind her!

Before Liu Cheng could react, his mother-in-law poked him in the forehead and said, You prodigal thing. Now that the girl is pregnant, she's looking for her home. I don't care, I want the eldest grandson.

Liu Cheng looked at Qin Fang in a daze, asking, Really?

Qin Fang was on the verge of tears, Liu Cheng, you … It's all your fault. What, now you want to go back on your word? "

Liu Cheng shook his head like a rattle drum, No, no, no. I just didn't expect that just that one time would happen …

At this moment, the mother-in-law mocked Lin Lishu, Unlike some people, you only know how to clap, not to lay eggs!

Lin Liesu, who had been silent all this time, was unusually calm as she watched this farce.

Clutching the list, Liu Cheng suddenly said, You go first, I'll look for you tomorrow.

Qin Fang was annoyed when she heard this, Brother Cheng, who do you want to leave?

The mother-in-law glared at Lin Lishu and said, Lin Lishu, our Old Liu family has been very good to you. Don't just stand there in the latrine, hurry up and pack up your things and get lost!

At this moment, Liu Cheng also said to Lin Lishu, I'm sorry, Lishu. Fang Fang has a child now …

Before Liu Cheng could finish, Lin Lishu interrupted him, Fine, I'll go!

She tried to hold back her tears so that she wouldn't cry.

Liu Cheng let her go, let her go.

At that moment, all the love between husband and wife in Lin Lishu's heart disappeared.

Lin Lisha left with only the student's papers.

Early the next morning, Liu Cheng called her on the BP machine.

The two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and swiftly obtained their divorce certificate.

At the entrance of the Civil Administration Bureau, Liu Cheng threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Lishu. We've been husband and wife for three years. Can you really bear to see me?

Liu Cheng's voice was filled with grievance and deep emotion, as if the one who had cheated was her.

However, Lin Lishu smiled and said, Liu Cheng, congratulations on being your father. Now your mom can finally relax.

With that, Lin Lishu turned around and left. The cold spring wind blew against her face, causing her to feel pain.

Her heart ached.

She had worked and suffered in the Liu Family all these years just for the sake of repaying Liu Cheng for his consideration when they had just met.

Now, a break-in from Qin Fang could make Liu Cheng give up his marriage without hesitation.

Then, what was there for her to linger for?

Lin Liesu left the house and moved back to her parents' home. It was a small alley.

There was also a sick mother and a younger brother who was about to graduate.

Afraid that her family wouldn't be able to take the blow, Lin Liesu didn't tell her mother the news of the divorce.

CHAPTER 3 - SHE USED TO HAVE A MISCARRIAGE FOR A HOODLUM

After the divorce, Lin Liesu forced herself to pull herself together and put her mind to work.

She was counting on her mother and brother for hundreds of dollars a month.

Qin Fang was a good friend from her student days and a good partner in her job.

In the past, everything the two of them did was at the same place. But now, Lin Liesu tried her best to avoid Qin Fang.

However, Qin Fang always made trouble on purpose.

A few days after Lin Lishu's divorce, Qin Fang went to work with a Motorola color screen flip phone, which was even more eye-catching than her apricot-colored jacket.

This caused the teachers in the office to feel a burst of envy.

Qin Fang, this phone is thousands of yuan. Did your boyfriend give it to you? He was so kind to you!

Fang Fang, can I borrow your phone to call my husband in the future? His BP is out of order and he can't get back on the phone in time.

Now, Qin Fang has replaced Li Shu as the happiest woman in our office!

Lin Liesu automatically blocked all these discussions in the office.

Once, they had been envious of Lin Lishu. How could they not envy Liu Cheng who was rich beyond compare?

However,
