When faced with Qin Mingxian's question, Howard still chose not to answer.

Qin Mingxian grabbed her son.

She stared intently at him.

Howard had no choice but to sit down.

After listening to Howard recount what had happened between the two, Qin Mingxian remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he spoke earnestly to Howard.

"Son, how about we get a divorce?"

Howard's breathing became heavier.

He exhaled deeply.

"I will not get a divorce. As long as I don't divorce my military marriage, no one can make me divorce."

Qin Mingxian didn't understand.

So what if it's just a divorce? That woman hardly ever comes home!

According to the neighbors, they haven't seen him for at least a month or two.

What's the point of keeping a wife like that? She can't even carry on the family line.

"Mom isn't some old-fashioned person. I know you all advocate free love these days. But you also have to consider how to live a real life! You two can't even see each other! What's the point of being in love?"

It's better to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing Howard sulking and not talking to him.

Qin Mingxian wasn't angry.

On the contrary, I felt that I hadn't seen my son so sulky in a long time.

Wang Ma's words still echoed in my ears.

She's Howard's mother. If even she doesn't care about the young couple's affairs, who else can we expect to care? The head of the household?

"What's the point of you living like this? You never even see each other."

As Qin Mingxian spoke, she became increasingly angry.

“I’m going to that research institute tomorrow to ask the leaders what they’re really up to. Why can’t my daughter-in-law come home to live with us just because she works there?”

Howard was starting to get annoyed too.

"Mom, can you please stop interfering in my affairs?"

Qin Mingxian was unhappy.

“If I don’t get involved, who will? Do you think I’m happy to meddle in your affairs? Otherwise, if you weren’t my son, why would I have come all this way here?”

Qin Mingxian suddenly had a change of heart. Could it be because her son hadn't had much contact with girls? That's why he was so focused on Mingzhao.

Howard fell silent again, stood up, and headed straight for the kitchen.

He went to make noodles for his mother.

This time, Qin Mingxian didn't stop her. She had a plan forming in her mind.

I ate the noodles my son made.

Qin Mingxian had been traveling by train for several days in a row and was now physically and mentally exhausted.

Howard hesitated between the two rooms for a moment, then gave his room to his mother.

Then he went into Mingzhao's room.

My ears involuntarily turned red when I opened the door.

Meanwhile, Qin Mingxian, on the other side, was observing her son, a place brimming with the atmosphere of his personal life.

Deep down, the desire to get the two of them divorced became even more urgent.

Howard tossed and turned all night. He slept on a makeshift bed on the floor.

Autumn and winter are cold, but Howard's body is very hot.

Although Mingzhao had not been in this room for a long time, her presence still seemed to linger everywhere.

Howard got up very early the next day, prepared breakfast for his mother, and then went to training.

The elderly mother was pleased with her son's current skills, but thinking that his thoughtfulness proved that the other person in the family didn't care about these things.

She also felt sorry for her youngest son.

After finishing her meal, Qin Mingxian tidied up the yard. Li Xiaocao, her neighbor, greeted her with her pregnant belly.

Good morning, Auntie.

"Hey, good morning to you too! Have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've eaten." Li Xiaocao smiled gently.

Qin Mingxian looked at her belly with affection.

"You've been like this for the past few months."

"It's been almost 8 months."

Qin Mingxian exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's fast!"

"yes."

Li Xiaocao gently touched her belly, her eyes filled with anticipation and doting affection.

Qin Mingxian suddenly brought up another matter.

"When you give birth, will your in-laws come to help you take care of the baby? Have you talked to them about this?"

Li Xiaocao's face turned pale. She thought about Wang Xiufen coming to help her take care of the child?

He immediately shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no need, I can bring it myself."

Qin Mingxian, however, looked completely unconvinced.

"You still have to go through postpartum confinement. During postpartum confinement, you can't touch cold water, you can't be exposed to wind, you can't get out of bed, and you have to keep warm, you can't get cold, and you can't get chilled."

"You also need to take care of your health. You need to make sure you get enough nutrition and breastfeed your baby. These things are all very tiring. If you don't have someone to help you, you won't be able to have a proper postpartum period, and you might end up with a lot of postpartum illnesses."

"You have to listen to me. No matter what, your in-laws must come and take care of you during your postpartum period."

Hearing Qin Mingxian's long string of words, Li Xiaocao was immediately terrified.

This was her first pregnancy, and she really didn't expect there to be so much to learn about it.

But the thought of having her mother-in-law come back again made her unwilling.

When my mother-in-law was here before, she didn't have a good life. She was always hungry and had to do endless chores every day.

If her mother-in-law really comes, will she be able to have a good postpartum period?

Li Xiaocao's eyes darted around anxiously.

She clasped her hands together, her fingers tightening more and more.

It wasn't until a sudden, sharp pain shot through her stomach that she cried out, "Ah!"

Qin Mingxian hadn't expected that her few words of advice would elicit such a strong reaction from the pregnant woman.

She understood something at that moment.

I dare not say anything recklessly anymore.

Every family has its own troubles.

But since she caused this, she naturally has to take responsibility.
