Part 2After Being Reborn, I Dumped the Scumbag

"You're right, there's no problem with you bringing your kids to your parents' home. So now I'm also taking my child back to my parents' home."

I realized there was no point trying to reason with them. So I spoke directly to Jack: "Jack, say something. Are we getting divorced or not? If not, I'm going to find that Lily at your factory. I'd like to ask her if she has any shame, an unmarried girl living with a married man."

Jack raised his hand to slap me. I grabbed his arm and pushed him away. My mother-in-law and Fiona came to stop me. I pushed them away too, one in each hand.

I grew up in the countryside and had done plenty of farm work. I still had some strength in me. I certainly wasn't going to stand there and be hit.

My mother-in-law stumbled to the side. Fiona steadied her mother and cursed at me: "Maggie, you shrew! My brother was truly blind to marry you."

"Say what you want. Jack, are you divorcing me or not? If not, I'm leaving. Just don't regret it later."

My in-laws stared at Jack. Fiona spoke up: "Brother, divorce her. Let's see if she still dares to make such a scene."

Jack took a deep breath: "Fine, we can divorce. But you can't have custody of our son."

I just smiled: "Jack, after we divorce, you'll marry Lily and have another child. Add in Ethan, you'll have to support two children plus help out your sister. Are you sure your salary is enough? If I take Ethan, I'll only spend money on him. He'll have a much better life with me than with you. Think it over. Tomorrow at 9 AM, let's meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

With that, I turned and left my in-laws' home. I went straight to stay at a local guesthouse. I believed that after a night of consideration, Jack would give up Ethan. After all, he had done so in my previous life.

The next day, Jack brought the necessary documents and met me at the Civil Affairs Bureau. With the official stamp, my marriage to Jack was officially over.

In front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jack said: "You can have custody of the child. But you should still let my parents see him every few months."

I nodded in agreement. Let them see. Without them, Ethan and I would have such a good life.

That night I returned to my parents' home in the countryside. As I held my son in my arms that evening, I was determined to give him a better future.

Before returning to S City, I gave my mother another 100 yuan. I told her not to skimp on spending money. My nephew was already three years old, and my sister-in-law was pregnant with her second child. Including Ethan, all the adults and children needed proper nutrition.

I didn't want my sister-in-law to feel I was overstepping. I understood the need for boundaries now that my brother was married. In my previous life, my brother had taken care of me a lot after my divorce. Whenever I visited home with Ethan, my sister-in-law was always very welcoming, cooking chicken and duck for us.

In this life, now that I had the means, I definitely wanted to help them out.

Over the next six months, I would send 100 yuan back home every few months. The rest of the money, I held onto tightly.

I had already made plans. While property prices were still low, I would buy a commercial space first. During the day I could run my clothing business, and at night I could sleep there to save on rent. Money makes money. Then I would buy a house. I could bring Ethan to the city for a good education.

Before the New Year that year, I bought my first commercial space and house. I personally handled all the renovations and inventory.

Then I returned home with luggage full of gifts. My sister-in-law couldn't stop admiring the clothes I bought her. For my brother, I got a pair of leather shoes. I bought alcohol for my father and a new cotton jacket for my mother.

Although my parents were happy, their expressions couldn't hide their worry.
