Chapter 11
Dong Tian lifted his head up and gave her a cold look, murmuring quietly, "Don't think that you can buy me over with food. When dad comes back, I'll still tell him about how you tried to sell away my sister."
Dong Tian spoke harshly, whilst grabbing the bowl that Lin Yue brought over and pouring its contents over into his own.
Seeing him eat, Lin Yue chuckled, "Go ahead and tell him. In the worst case scenario, I'll just go back to my parents' house and divorce him. We won't return the bride price anyway, and in the end, it'll just be your dad who suffers."
Dong Tian's hand froze, and Lin Yue continued, "I'll tell you, I'm your stepmother. Throughout history, how many stepmothers have you seen who are good? They're all wicked in their own way."
"Selling your sister is nothing. I'll make you work and exploit you every day, making sure you don't eat well or dress warmly. I'll even whip you with a small whip."
Lin Yue's words were cruel and sinister, but in the dim light of the oil lamp, no one saw the smirk in her eyes.
Dong Tian's hand froze again, but he lowered his head and didn't eat anymore. The bowl was large enough to almost cover his small face.
Noticing the child trembling, Lin Yue felt even more sour and uncomfortable, but she still said coldly, "However, don't say I didn't give you a chance. When your dad comes back, I'll give you the opportunity to complain. As long as your dad divorces me, not only will I return the bride price to you, but no one will bully you in the future."
After Lin Yue finished speaking, Dong Tian suddenly lifted his small face and roared, "You can't! You've already married my dad. You belong to him in life and in death. You can't leave our family."
With that, he angrily stood up and walked away.
At the door, he seemed to remember something and returned to drink all the porridge in the bowl before leaving again.
Seeing the small figure of the child walking away angrily, Lin Yue couldn't help but smile.
Actually, she really wanted a divorce.
The original owner had to marry herself off because of her brother's gambling debts.
Someone like her could be satisfied with a few food tickets and a couple of bucks as a bride price.
But Lin Yue didn't need that.
She believed that she could live a good life with her own abilities.
Moreover, according to Uncle Er's implication, her husband was originally a coal miner, but now that the mines were closed, he hadn't come back. On top of that, now he was missing.
He didn't even bother to come back when his own mother died, let alone to take care of the two children. Such a man had no sense of responsibility and she had basically given up any possibility of him changing to become a better man.
She speculated that her husband was either a scoundrel or a downright despicable bastard.
If the child's mother was just giving birth and not raising the little kids, it was probably because of this man's scoundrel and vicious nature - which he exhibited by either beating his wife or being unfaithful.
What's the use of being with a womanizing scoundrel with violent tendencies?
So, divorce was necessary.
If she proposed it herself, the other party would definitely not agree. But if the child proposed it, then everything would naturally fall into place.
At night, Lin Yue heard the sound of rain in her sleep.
'It's raining,' this thought chimed in her mind, and all of a sudden, she woke up.
Only in this house did not leaking when it rained seemed strange.
She lit the kerosene lamp in the house and as expected, she saw the rain beating in not far from the place she slept - the kang. Meanwhile, the two children were sleeping soundly not far away.
While Dong Tian's pillow was already slightly wet, Xiu Er's was fine.
Lin Yue hurriedly ransacked the house for pots and pans and collected all the rain water dripping in the house.
