Chapter 320 - 315 Fear of no one to utilise (First update)
"What are you doing? This isn’t a serious injury, and I haven’t hurt any bones. Besides, the factory is covering the hospital expenses; how much more do you want to claim?" Che Xiaocui couldn’t help frowning as she listened to He Houfu.
Asking for five thousand or even ten thousand was definitely out of the question for her; He Houfu might entertain such thoughts, but she didn’t have the face for it.
"Xiaocui," He Houfu said, knowing that it must have been Miss Zhang who had fed her some fanciful story, so much so that she didn’t even want the compensation anymore, "This is a work-related injury. Since it happened at work, we certainly have the right to seek compensation. We agreed last night that you would listen to me on this matter. If you don’t, I won’t take care of you in the future—do whatever you want."
He didn’t say it out loud, but if he divorced Xiaocui, she would instantly become homeless.
"Houfu, then don’t take care of me," Xiaocui said from the bed, her voice breaking into sobs, "I’ve become a useless person now. Even if I stubbornly refuse to leave, how well can you really treat me?"
She had partly absorbed what Keke had just said.
Keke was right; with her current income, even if she divorced, she could support herself. Why should she stay and be a burden to her in-laws?
It was because she had no ability to present her in-laws with a son or a daughter. It wasn’t a big deal to just leave.
"Che Xiaocui, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to divorce me or not?" He Houfu narrowed his eyes as he listened to Xiaocui, "You better think this through. If you divorced me, how would the people in your village see you, what about your brothers and your parents? They might even break your legs."
He Houfu wasn’t worried about Che Xiaocui at all; she was an especially timid person who normally wouldn’t even dare to speak loudly to him.
