Chapter 116 The bridge leads back to the bridge, the road leads back to the road
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fengxia approached the bald middle-aged man with a fawning expression.
“What Brother Qiang said is true. How can a cripple like him compare to Brother Qiang?” Zhao Fengxia said in a affected and pretentious voice.
Those who heard this couldn't help but get goosebumps.
When Gu Nan heard the bald man talk about his older brother like that, he looked at him coldly.
The bald, middle-aged man couldn't help but shiver, feeling Gu Nan's unfriendly gaze, and met his eyes.
The immense pressure Gu Nan exerted on him left him momentarily at a loss.
He couldn't utter a single word to mock Gu Zhendong.
"Ahem. Now that you're here, you should go and complete the formalities." The middle-aged man cleared his throat, trying to ease the oppressive feeling.
"Okay, Brother Qiang, then wait for me outside!" Zhao Fengxia said shyly.
Gu Zhendong looked at the person he was most familiar with before, his bedmate, and felt completely unfamiliar with him.
There was absolutely no way to connect the affected and pretentious woman in front of him with his wife.
How long ago did that gentle and intellectual wife become like this?
Whether it was originally well hidden or changed later, Gu Zhendong had no idea.
Zhao Fengxia glanced at Gu Zhendong and then walked towards the wedding venue.
Gu Nan parked his bicycle, locked it, and then carried Gu Zhendong on his back.
Gu Nan felt that Gu Zhendong's muscles were a little stiff behind him.
"It's alright, once the formalities are completed, things will go their separate ways," Gu Nan reassured him.
However, Gu Nan really wasn't good at comforting people. As a tough and rough guy, he really couldn't say anything comforting.
Gu Zhendong patted Gu Nan on the shoulder to indicate that he understood.
Once inside the marriage registration area, the left side is for marriage registration, and the right side is for divorce registration.
At the wedding registration area, there were many young men and women, their faces showing excitement, shyness, or anticipation for the future.
Meanwhile, at the divorce processing area, only one staff member sat alone at their desk.
In this day and age, almost no couples get divorced.
Many women, even if they are beaten to a pulp, never even consider divorce.
There are also men who, even if they know what their wives have done behind their backs, would rather beat them to death than think about divorce.
Therefore, when the staff saw Zhao Fengxia, dressed in a flamboyant manner, sitting in front of them, they kindly offered a reminder.
"The marriage registration is over there."
"Get a divorce!" Zhao Fengxia said, turning back to look behind her.
Gu Nan carried Gu Zhendong in and placed him on the chair in front of the paperwork area.
Well, the staff handling divorces have now started working.
Ask around to see if any adjustments are necessary.
After confirming that neither spouse is willing to mediate, prepare the necessary documents and proceed with the divorce.
At this time, there was no cooling-off period for divorce; with all the paperwork in place, it was processed in no time.
The moment she received the divorce papers, Zhao Fengxia finally felt relieved; at least the money Gu Zhendong had entrusted to her hadn't been taken back.
Gu Zhendong, however, was only thinking about his son, Yangyang.
Zhao Fengxia took the paperwork and turned to leave, but Gu Zhendong called her back.
"What? The divorce proceedings are all done, and you've changed your mind?" Zhao Fengxia turned around and looked at Gu Zhendong with disdain.
"Yangyang, take good care of Yangyang," Gu Zhendong said to Zhao Fengxia.
"Hmph, I'll naturally take good care of my own son. He's definitely better than you, who's disabled for life, right?"
“If you can’t take good care of Yangyang and make sure he doesn’t suffer any losses, you can send the child back at any time.”
"Send him back? Send him back to serve your crippled father?" Zhao Fengxia looked at Gu Zhendong with disgust.
Gu Nan stood next to Gu Zhendong, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.
If Zhao Fengxia weren't a woman, he would have already taken action.
He insulted his elder brother time and time again.
If it were a man, Gu Nan wouldn't mind giving him a few punches.
Looking back now, I should have refrained from glaring at that bald, middle-aged man outside; that would have given me a reason to make a move.
"Gu Zhendong, you used to be a good person, but now you're a useless person. I took Yangyang away so that he could have a future. It's better than him following a good-for-nothing father like you." Zhao Fengxia left after saying this.
Gu Zhendong sat quietly.
Gu Nan patted Gu Zhendong on the shoulder.
"Do you think she's always been like this, or did she become like this later?" Gu Zhendong asked Gu Nan calmly.
Gu Nan did not answer.
It doesn't matter when it changed, does it?
"Let's go. I'll take Yangyang home once my leg is healed," Gu Zhendong said to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan nodded and carried his older brother on his back.
Outside, Zhao Fengxia went out and then came back in arm in arm with the bald middle-aged man.
It's clear that the two are planning to get a marriage certificate.
Gu Nan carried Gu Zhendong on his back and brushed past the two of them.
The middle-aged man was very sensible and didn't dare to utter a word, because he felt that Gu Nan was a ruthless person.
If I were to say a few more words, I'd get beaten up for no reason; it's not worth it.
At this age, I still have some insight.
When Zhao Fengxia saw Gu Nan carrying Gu Zhendong on his back, she showed no lingering affection whatsoever, as if she were looking at a complete stranger.
Gu Zhendong didn't recognize the woman in front of him at all.
That's it, their relationship has been completely severed.
Gu Zhendong has completely let go of Zhao Fengxia, the woman he once loved; she is dead.
Zhao Fengxia was now just a stranger to Gu Zhendong, and he felt nothing for her.
On the other side, Su Niannian arrived at the black market much earlier than before.
Lü Hongliang, who used to sell meat, is no longer here.
Instead, it was a younger man.
Su Niannian went over to ask if Lü Hongliang was there.
The young man knew that this must be the girl who provided the seasoning to Lü Hongliang, and quickly responded.
"Yes, yes, yes. It's right behind you, I'll call it for you right away."
A short while later, Lü Hongliang arrived.
“Little Su.” Lu Hongliang’s eyes lit up.
His face was beaming with smiles.
He jogged over in a few steps.
"Yes, Brother Lü," Su Niannian greeted him.
At this moment, Su Niannian was carrying a basket on her back, containing the seasonings for the next three days.
"Here, let me take it for you." Lü Hongliang hurriedly and eagerly took Su Niannian's basket from her back.
"There are too many people here, let's go to the back to talk."
Lu Hongliang gestured for Su Niannian to follow him into the alley behind the building.
Su Niannian nodded and followed.
"I'll take you to see where I process braised pig offal." Lü Hongliang led Su Niannian directly back to his home.
When they arrived at Lü Hongliang's house, Su Niannian saw six large iron pots in the yard, where pig offal was being cooked.
