Susan's husband was sulking, but what could he do? He had to endure it.

He stretched out his hand and said, "I don't feel like arguing with you anymore! Because you wanted to compete with me, you sold the house. I really don't know what to say! You didn't even consult me on such a big matter, weren't you afraid of being cheated? Also, did you buy a villa? Give me the key."

Susan crossed her arms and showed a strong attitude, "Why should I give it to you? Get lost! Don't you guys like living in the countryside? Then go there!"

"I made it clear to you in advance, my money, my house, have nothing to do with you!"

At this point, Susan's mother-in-law arrived and said, "This is the joint property of husband and wife! How can you say it has nothing to do with him? Whether it's the house or the money, half of it belongs to my son!"

Susan's mother-in-law glared at her angrily.

She was furious.

They had been waiting in the countryside for so long, but Susan never came to ask them to come back.

Instead, she packed their belongings and sent them back.

She even bought a villa!

She just wouldn't listen to advice.

It was really annoying!

"I'm tired and don't want to argue with you anymore! Give us the key, I want to go back and rest!" Susan's mother-in-law said, feeling suffocated with anger.

Susan raised her hand and pushed her mother-in-law away.

She sneering, "You want to enter my house? Then beg me!"

Susan walked back to her seat, wearing high heels, and saw the father and daughter pair who were watching the show with relish.

Susie Murray even clapped her hands and said, "Aunt Xin is so cool!"

Susan, "..."

"Let's go!" Susan put her computer in her bag and looked gloomy. "My good mood has been ruined."

Kellen Morton stood up, picked up Susie Murray easily, and held her in his arms with one hand.

Seeing that Susan was really leaving, her husband seemed to feel ashamed and said fiercely, "Good! You're very good! If you walk out that door today, believe me, I'll divorce you immediately!"

Susan didn't even turn her head. She carried her computer bag and walked away.

Susan's husband, "..."

He couldn't do anything now but pretend to be tough and leave.

Susan's mother-in-law was so angry that she had high blood pressure and her head was buzzing.

"Divorce her! Divorce her right away!" she shouted.

Susan's husband was very annoyed, "But all these years, she's been the one making money. If we get divorced, I won't have anything!"

But her mother-in-law said, "How is that possible? I asked a lawyer, and any income earned during the period of the husband-and-wife relationship, regardless of whether it was earned by you or her, all belongs to joint property of the husband and wife."

"Even if you didn't earn a penny after marriage, you still get half of what she earns! That's the rule!"

So, it didn't matter if she bought a villa or not, it would still be divided.

Susan's husband was suddenly delighted. "Really? Did you really ask a lawyer?" he asked.

"Of course!". Susan's mother-in-law said with a smile.

Susan's husband was immediately relieved. That was good news.

He dared not really divorce because he knew he was at fault for all these years and had not earned a penny.

He was afraid he wouldn't get his fair share if they divorced…...

Now?

Susan's husband sneered, "I'll sue for divorce right away and see how she regrets it! How she begs me!"

After she had cried enough, he would graciously remarry her.

**

Susie Murray and the two of them walked on the street.

Susie Murray curiously asked, "Auntie, are you going to divorce too?"

The little one couldn't understand why adults loved divorce so much.

But Susan shook her head and said that if they divorced, she would have to give half of her earned money to her husband as their shared property, no matter what.

In other words, regardless of the actual situation, any income earned during the marriage is considered joint property.

Under normal condition, she is required to split it equally with her spouse.

This rule made her angry.

However,...they seemed to have overlooked an important thing...

Susie Murray couldn't understand and asked again, "Aunt Xin, aren't you afraid that Uncle will divorce you?"

Susan sneered, "Firstly, he dares not, secondly, even if he does, I'm not afraid."

Firstly, their family would never let her go.

After all, her husband was so useless that he had no other ideas besides relying on his parents.

And her mother-in-law also knew this and would not allow him to rely on them.

Secondly, she was confident!

When they reached the intersection of the square road, Susie Murray and Kellen Morton had to go back. Susie Murray waved goodbye to Susan and said, "Goodbye, Aunt Xin, good luck!"

Susan nodded heavily, "Yes! Good luck!"

**

Susan had just returned home when she received a call from a lawyer informing her that her husband had filed for divorce and was requesting immediate discussion of property distribution.

"There is no room for discussion." Susan was looking at herself in the mirror, intending to remove her makeup, but instead picked up her lipstick and applied a bold, red lip.

The other lawyer said, "Here's the situation. I have heard from your husband about the family income during your marriage. Miss Susan, I must remind you that even though you earned the money after marriage, your husband still has the right to split the property in half -- including the villa you just bought."

Susan smirked and said, "My dear husband surely didn't tell you that the payment for my writing fees goes to my mother's account."

"We've been married for three years. Who said I'm the one earning the money? As a woman, what skills do I have? That money was gifted by my parents."

"Gifted by your parents, so it's not considered joint property!"

"He can divorce me if he wants. I'll go over there right now."

Susan hung up the phone with a snap.

On the other end of the line, Susan's husband was dumbfounded as he listened to the conversation on the speakerphone.

"What does she mean? Why isn't it considered joint property?" Susan's mother-in-law asked anxiously.

The lawyer awkwardly replied, "Before, your money was transferred from your mother-in-law's card to your account?"

Susan's husband replied, "Yes…..."

At the beginning of their marriage, Susan signed a contract with a small website for writing, but because the contract explicitly bound Susan's identity card—

She was not eligible to write for other websites without their consent.

Susan had no choice but to secretly use her mother's identity card to register on the current website and use a new pen name, step by step until now.

Later, she continued to hold her mother's account and made transfers from it…...How come...

The lawyer said, "In that case, there is nothing you can do. Your wife registered a new pen name using her mother’s ID card, and the royalties are paid to her mother's account. If you want to authenticate the money, it really belongs to her mother. Spending it on you is considered a gift, and it has nothing to do with you."

They was immediately dumbfounded!

Susan's mother-in-law exclaimed, "But it's her who earned the money, not her mother! They are lying!"

The lawyer replied, "Do you have any evidence to prove it? To put it bluntly, as long as your wife and mother-in-law are consistent in their story, you have no way to do anything about it."

After speaking, the lawyer couldn't be bothered to deal with them anymore and simply stood up and left.

Susan's mother-in-law trembled, "This is unfair…... so unfair!"

They were missing out on so much money.

Should they really go back and beg Susan for it?

No, it was impossible. He wouldn't beg her for it!
