"Mom, let me tell you, if you're going to take Sanbao to see the shaman, you have to call us. Don't just take Sanbao there on your own. What if something happens to Sanbao?"

Lü Yazhi nodded immediately.

“I know I won’t take the child to see a shaman myself. I’m just afraid you’ll be upset if I tell you.”

Wen Qiao took the baby back to the bedroom to breastfeed.

Shen Jichuan then went to ask Sister Wu about the feeding situation of Da Bao and Er Bao today.

The two children didn't seem to mind Sister Wu.

This put Wen Qiao and Shen Jichuan at ease.

Before telling Political Commissar Wang about Xu Weimin's affair, Shen Jichuan asked Wen Qiao if it was necessary to inform her.

Wen Qiao then learned that Shen Jichuan had personally witnessed Xu Weimin flirting with another woman.

Wen Qiao knew Wang Gang and Li Qin well; they were upright and could distinguish right from wrong.

Wen Qiao asked Shen Jichuan to tell Wang Gang about this.

However, Shen Jichuan was also instructed to tell Political Commissar Wang that there was no evidence he had personally witnessed.

It would be best to send the Wang family to the county town and catch Xu Weimin red-handed.

The night Wang Gang learned of this news, he went home and told his wife about it.

Upon hearing this, Li Qin immediately became restless.

“He dares to kiss someone in public like that, Xu Weimin! No way, I’m going to the county town to find Ronghua tomorrow. Xu Weimin has to give Ronghua an answer about this.”

Wang Gang: "What more attitude do you need? Just get a divorce, let's get a divorce right away."

"Go to the county town tomorrow and call Ronghua back. If she doesn't want a divorce, then don't come back to me with any problems later."

Li Qin went to the county town at dawn the next morning.

Unfortunately, he didn't return until dark, and he didn't bring back his stubborn daughter.

Li Qin was furious.

She had tried everything – coaxing, talking, even scolding – and was just short of physically assaulting him.

I couldn't persuade them to come back.

After school, Er Ya and her younger brother did their homework together at home.

As it grew dark, neither Dad nor Mom came back.

She went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Just as the fire was lit, her mother returned.

"Mom, is my sister back?"

Li Qin threw down her bag and sat down on the sofa.

She was so angry that she cried.

“Er Ya, you can’t be like your sister. Your sister is driving me crazy. No matter how much I try to reason with her, she won’t listen to me. Even though she knows what outrageous things Xu Weimin is doing outside, she still doesn’t want a divorce.”

"I don't care anymore, I'm really going to be driven crazy by her."

Er Ya remained calm and said, "I think Aunt Wen Qiao was right when she said something before: respect other people's fate."

“Mom, sometimes we can’t control other people’s fate. If my sister is willing to suffer, let her suffer. Even if you and Dad kidnap my sister and bring her home, she won’t realize her mistake and will still run back.”

Li Qin looked at her second daughter in surprise.

Her second daughter is just as clever as her husband, Wang Gang.

I don't know where my eldest daughter got her silly and simple-mindedness from.

When Wang Gang returned from get off work, Li Qin tearfully recounted her experience of trying to persuade her daughter that day.

Wang Gang also said that he wouldn't care whether she lived or died.

Despite saying that, Li Qin still frequently went to the county town in the days that followed.

I was just thinking that I couldn't persuade my daughter to get a divorce.

Try your best to persuade your son-in-law to settle down and return to the family.

Little did anyone know that the Wang family's lack of assertiveness only emboldened Xu Weimin.
