After leaving home in a fit of irritation, Chen Jianye wandered around like a headless fly.

Without realising, he had walked to the front of the brick house. He hesitated momentarily but still entered the house.

The last time Chunhua returned for just a month or two, she was tortured almost beyond recognition! If she gets divorced and goes back, they might not even let Chunhua in. It's so cold at night, it can freeze a person to death, you see..."

Even though they had divorced, she didn't have to be sent back immediately; it wouldn't be too late to wait until spring when the weather was warmer.
