Got the Marriage Certificate, Can They Still Get Divorced?  

Olivia's father is a high school teacher, while her mother is an ordinary worker with only an elementary school education, running a small business on the side.

 

Because of this, Olivia's mother is particularly sharp-tongued. The first time Michael visited, she straightforwardly asked him to break up with her daughter, without any tact, making the situation extremely awkward.

 

In the current situation, if Michael were to visit, he would definitely not have an easy time!

 

"It's okay, we'll have to pass the test that from your mom."

 

Michael knew what Olivia was worried about and gently reassured her, "Once we get through this, we can be together openly and honestly."

 

"But..."

 

Olivia wanted to say something more, but the bathroom door echoed with her mother's loud knocking.

 

"You've been in the bathroom for half an hour, why haven't you come out yet? Did you fall in or something?"

 

Hearing her mother's urgency, Olivia had no choice but to end the call and come out.

 

Olivia's mother glanced at her, sneering, "I knew you were in the bathroom talking to that little brat. Well, this works out perfectly. Today, I want to meet that little brat!"

 

 

"Mom..."

 

 

Olivia looked up in confusion, not understanding her mother's intentions.

 

 

"I've already called your uncles and aunts, asking them to come over. Today, you must break up with that boy. If he doesn't agree, we'll force him to agree. I don't believe his bones are that strong!"

 

"Mom!"

 

Hearing her mother's words, Olivia was on the verge of tears, "How can you do this?"

 

Not only did her mother call the aunts and uncles over to discuss this embarrassing matter, but the worst part was they were planning to physically harm Michael!

 

Thinking of Michael being beaten up, Olivia couldn't bear it. "Mom, mom, listen to me. Michael is not poor, and he treats me well, really!"

 

"Huh, treats you well? Look at the ragged clothes you're wearing. Compare yourself to other girls! You see Lois next door? You played together when you were kids. She went to Incrementa for college and found a rich second-generation guy there. Not only did they have a grand wedding, but the guy's family also gave them one million for their honeymoon. They even bought a house and a car for Lois's family, spending at least five million!"

 

"Mom, that's someone else. We shouldn't compare ourselves to others..."

 

"I don't want to compare either, but I see Lois dressing up nicely every day, not even taking a step when she goes out. Look at you, working nine to five every day, not willing to buy new clothes. It pains my heart!"

 

Pointing at her own chest, Olivia's mother looked distressed, "Do you know how much my heart hurts?"

 

"I..."

 

Hearing her mother's words, Olivia covered her mouth, tears rolling down.

 

The doorbell interrupted their confrontation.

 

Olivia, covering her face, returned to her room, while Olivia's mother went to open the door. Standing at the door were Olivia's two aunts and uncles.

 

"Come in quickly."

 

Olivia's mother invited the four people in, looking at them resentfully, "I can hardly live like this."

 

"Marian, what's wrong with you, so desperate?"

 

It was a rare weekend, and everyone was resting at home when Olivia's mother urgently called them over. They thought something had happened to her family.

 

After serving tea, Marian started pouring out her grievances to her two sisters, "My daughter used to date a poor boy. I told her to break up with him quickly, but not only did she not listen, she even secretly took her ID and registered for marriage with that boy!"

 

"This... Olivia has always been well-behaved, hasn't she? She wouldn't do something like this."

 

Hearing Marian's words, everyone was stunned.

 

In their impression, Olivia had always been adorable and excellent in both character and learning, not causing them any worry at all.

 

Slam!

 

Olivia's mother directly threw the marriage certificate, which she had found in Olivia's bag, onto the table, "Here's the marriage certificate!"

 

Looking at the detailed information on the marriage certificate, everyone fell silent.

 

Olivia's aunt hesitated, "Marian, what's done is done. Why don't we just let it go? Both kids are already married, and their future life is their own business. We, as adults, shouldn't interfere too much."

 

"Oh, my sister, your daughter found a wealthy boyfriend and can live a comfortable life. But I only have one daughter, and I can't bear to see her live a tough life with that poor boy..."

 

After Olivia's aunt spoke, Olivia's mother began to cry, making everyone feel awkward.

 

Olivia's big uncle pushed his wife's arm, suggesting that she should be more tactful, and he took the initiative to console Olivia's mother, "Marian, don't cry first. Let's discuss this matter properly. It's just have a marriage certificate, right? Let them divorce, after all, it's an open era now, and it's not a big deal to remarry."

 

"Dominic, you really understand me. You must help me this time. I really don't want my daughter to jump into a pit..."

 

"Marian, just how poor is that boy?"

 

Olivia's second aunt couldn't help but ask when she saw Olivia's mother like this.

 

Once Michael's poverty was mentioned, Olivia's mother couldn't hold back, "His family is not from Nexington, they don't even have a house in Nexington. His parents, one is a civil servant, the other runs a convenience store. They can't even afford a car in Nexington. My daughter has been with him for years, and the life they lead is heart-wrenching... Tell me, if you were to let your daughter marry into such a family, would you be willing?"

 

"This... as long as the person is good."

 

"Good person? How many reliable men are there nowadays, especially these young ones? They just have sweet talk. I've been through it, don't I know this very well?"

 

Olivia's mother said a bunch of bad things about Michael, belittling him and making him seem useless.

 

Olivia's second aunt and uncle, after listening, also felt that Michael was unreliable. They expressed their support for Olivia's mother, insisting that the two must divorce today.

 

After agreeing on a unified strategy, Olivia's mother finally satisfiedly called Olivia out, "Where is that little brat?"

 

With red eyes, Olivia said, "He said he's at the entrance of the community."

 

"Let's go!"

 

Hearing Olivia's words, Olivia's mother immediately led her two sisters and brother-in-law aggressively towards the community entrance. The way they marched made it seem like they were about to devour someone.

 

Worried that Michael might suffer, Olivia hastily wanted to follow, but she was promptly glared at by Olivia's mother. "You stay at home!"

 

After saying this, she directly locked the anti-theft door at the entrance.
