CHAPTER 633: CHAPTER 256: SYSTEM CALLS ME TO SAVE THE DAY (FINALE)_3
Now Granny Qiao was critically ill, and his wife might miscarry, but he didn’t even have the money to send someone to the hospital.
My mother-in-law was right, what kind of a person am I to even have the face to live?!
Just as Qiao Zhenbang wallowed in self-loathing and self-denial, someone had already rushed over in a mule cart.
Upon seeing this, everyone hurriedly busied themselves with laying out bedding and carrying people.
Granny Qiao and He Tiantian were carefully placed in the cart, while Mr. Jiao, Mrs. Jiao, Mr. Qiao, Qiao Zhenbang, and others followed closely alongside at a brisk pace.
On the way, passing by a hillside, Qiao Zhenbang suddenly remembered the memories of his "previous life" and worried that his dad might fall down the slope.
Yet when he carefully watched Mr. Qiao, no accident happened.
Qiao Zhenbang let out a bitter laugh and gave himself a hard smack on the mouth: Qiao Zhenbang, won’t you give up already, there’s no "previous life," no dreams to warn you.
As for what his future would be like, that was hard to say, but for the moment, he was nothing more than a loser who couldn’t even support his family!
Although Mrs. Jiao had scolded Qiao Zhenbang, when it came time to pay at the hospital, she still took the initiative to settle the bills for He Tiantian and Granny Qiao.
Witnessing this scene, Qiao Zhenbang didn’t speak; he silently made up his mind.
Granny Qiao was rescued in time and didn’t pass away like in the so-called previous life.
"Jiao Jiao" ended up having a miscarriage, the barely one-and-a-half-month-old fetus left them before it could even form.
After waking up, He Tiantian was not overly saddened by this outcome.
Actually, even without this accident, He Tiantian had wanted to abort the pregnancy.
She wouldn’t get involved with Qiao Zhenbang anymore; they were definitely getting a divorce.
And if there wasn’t a whole family, having the child wasn’t for its own good.
He Tiantian had always been an opponent of the "childbearing is a favor" argument.
Even if there really was a "favor," it would be to have the child in an environment where the parents loved each other, the family was harmonious, and there was an abundance of love for the child.
If you knowingly bring a child into the world to face a broken home without a father or mother, and in turn, let that child suffer and face hardship because of this deficiency,
then such an act is definitely not a "favor."
To say it’s a "curse" wouldn’t be too much!
He Tiantian didn’t want to use an emotionally self-satisfying method to morally bind the child, claiming, "I did it for your good; I sacrificed so much for you!" when the child isn’t happy and has an aching heart.
So, the loss of this child was not necessarily a bad thing.
"Qiao Zhenbang, let’s get a divorce."
Lying in the hospital bed, He Tiantian’s pale face took on an expression of disdain, "If you can’t even afford your wife’s hospital fees for a miscarriage, what good are you to me?"
Qiao Zhenbang: ...
Having been humiliated so often, he no longer felt the initial shame and anger.
He stared steadfastly at He Tiantian, "Jiao Jiao, you saved my granny, and for that, I’m grateful. In addition, the dowry you were owed, plus various expenses over the past two years, I total it up to five hundred yuan."
"I don’t have money right now, I can write you an IOU, and once I’ve earned enough, I’ll repay you with interest!"
A series of blows utterly shattered Qiao Zhenbang’s fantasies.
He no longer believed in any previous life or dreams but began to get down to brass tacks.
He thought it over; he had no capital now, so he would start small and accumulate some initial funds, as he had done in the past.
When the opportunity came, he would roll up his sleeves and dig in.
No matter whether the things in his mind were real or not, he wouldn’t be overly superstitious; instead, he would refer to them selectively.
Perhaps, through his hard work, he really could become the wealthiest man.
Just like that, Qiao Zhenbang wrote a 500-yuan IOU to He Tiantian and got divorced.
"Getting divorced is better! After all, there’s no child, and you’re still young. Take good care of yourself, and we’ll find someone else!"
While thinking that their daughter was acting out again, Mr. Jiao and Mrs. Jiao genuinely felt sorry for her.
When they heard she wanted a divorce, the Jiao Family, although feeling it was somewhat shameful, agreed after some thought.
Ah, the happiness of the child is what’s important; they really didn’t think much of Qiao Zhenbang.
Besides, even if their daughter became the first woman in their production brigade to get divorced, the fellow villagers didn’t criticize her too much.
In the past, "Jiaojiao’s" virtuosity and filial piety were evident to the whole village.
When the Qiao Family house caught fire, "Jiaojiao" was the first to rush in to save people; just for that, no one could speak ill of her.
Instead, there was understanding: "Sigh, it’s really that Qiao Zhenbang is too unreliable. His own granny and wife are in the hospital, and he doesn’t have a penny to his name."
"’Marrying a man is for food and clothing. It’s not about a man being poor, it’s about him being lazy.’"
"That’s right, Jiaojiao has also endured for two years and really couldn’t see any hope. Now that the child is gone, she just had to get a divorce!"
The plot seemed to have returned to the expected trajectory; facing a major crisis at home, the male lead’s wife screams for a divorce, he reforms and strives to better himself, and starts on the path to earning money and reversing his fortunes.
However, the specifics were still different; this time He Tiantian’s divorce from Qiao Zhenbang didn’t earn her the name of a top-grade ex-wife.
The Qiao Family and the Jiao Family didn’t become mortal enemies, and after Qiao Zhenbang made it big, not only did he not seek revenge on "Jiao Jiao," he gave her a large sum of money...
