Everyone looked at her curiously, and Shen Mianmian said, "Anyway, it’s not necessary for both parties to be present to get a divorce certificate nowadays. We might as well sneak out the household registration book and directly get the divorce certificate, right? After all, you don’t have joint property or debt under your names, and the marital home was acquired before the marriage, so it has nothing to do with him."
If the household registration book were at Wan Dongcheng’s hometown, it definitely would not be easy to obtain, but it’s a different story in the city.
"Why didn’t I think of that?" Li Yue clapped her hands in agreement, "When the time comes, I’ll rush into the house and block Pan Huiyun. You go in and search for the household registration book, then head to the civil affairs bureau. Once we have the divorce certificate, we can kick Pan Huiyun out."

Shen Mianmian revealed a mischievous smile, "No need for all that trouble. We’ll just find someone to lure Pan Huiyun out, change the door lock, and then she’ll have nothing to do with the Wan family ever again."
"That’s a plan! Little Mianmian, you’re full of clever tricks. When dealing with people like them, this is exactly the kind of method to use." Li Yue was so delighted, and Shen Mianmian’s words made the situation seem not difficult at all.
He Nan watched her with a smiling gaze.
Shen Mianmian turned to Li Julin, "Uncle Li, what do you think of this plan?"
Everyone’s agreement was useless without Uncle Li’s consent. Li Julin was stubborn; if he didn’t agree with something, he wouldn’t allow it to be done.
"Dad, this is a good method. If you don’t agree, then you have to come up with a better one," Li Yue started acting like a brat.
Gazing at everyone looking over, Li Julin snorted, "When you got married, you snuck out the household registration book without telling me, and now you think to ask for my opinion for the divorce? I’m not getting involved. You all figure it out. I’m old, and can’t keep up with your young people’s ideas."
He stood up and went back to his room with a displeased face.
Li Yue made meaningful eye contact with He Nan and Shen Mianmian, "My dad has agreed."
He then looked at Li Shiping, "Sister, our old man has broken quite a few rules for your sake. When you have time, talk to him, and try to ease the relationship. You’re father and daughter after all; it’s not right to be so estranged."
"Mhm." Li Shiping nodded with eyes reddening.
"It’s getting late; we’re going to head back," He Nan stood up.
Shen Mianmian also stood up, and seeing this, Li Shiping took out some money from her pocket, "Mianmian, here’s your money back. Thank you for your help during this time. Xiaoyue acknowledging you as a sister is a blessing for our whole family."
"Sister Shiping, then I’ll be taking the money!" Shen Mianmian didn’t hold back and immediately put the money in her pocket. This was money she had lent to Li Shiping. Even if she didn’t want it, Li Shiping wouldn’t dream of not returning it. Shen Mianmian didn’t go through the pretense of refusing, as several hundred yuan was a substantial sum in those days—enough to marry three wives in the countryside.
Li Yue and Li Shiping both appreciated Shen Mianmian’s straightforwardness.
After greeting Xiu Min, Shen Mianmian headed back with He Nan. On the way, they chatted idly and learned that Wan Dongcheng had taken Zhou Siyu to the school, which made He Nan’s eyes narrow dangerously.
Seeing his expression, she hastily said, "Big Brother He, don’t worry. Wan Dongcheng’s little tricks can’t cause any real trouble. My academic performance is good, I’m Sanzhong’s ’panda,’ and the principal treasures me. He wouldn’t listen to Wan Dongcheng. It would be a wasted trip even if he went."
