Chapter 72 If you can't stand me, you can get lost (Seeking monthly votes)

Meng Panpan said, "How can we interfere in your family affairs? If you handle it well, you'll be the good guys for us; if you handle it poorly, who knows how you'll scold us later."

Xu Qingmo didn't speak, and Du Jun sighed silently.

He really wanted to make his marriage work, but he couldn't find a good way to do it.

Du Jun sincerely asked for help, "I really want my wife and children to be together in a warm and harmonious family, but Song Cuiping gets angry with me about everything, and I really don't know what to do."

Xu Qingmo reminded her, "The reason your family is in this mess is because two sets of clothes were stolen. Song Cuiping cares a lot about those two sets of clothes, but neither set belongs to her. Can you guess why she cares so much about the clothes?"

Du Jun thought about it seriously for a while, "What she really cares about is not the clothes, but whether her family has new clothes to wear."

Xu Qingmo nodded, "It's not beyond saving yet."

Du Jun carefully recalled Song Cuiping's various behaviors after her clothes were stolen; she lost her appetite and stayed up late almost every night.

Later, she discovered that the clothes were at Hong Lanlan's house. She angrily went to Hong Lanlan to demand compensation, but he threatened her with divorce so she wouldn't go.

Thinking about it this way, he really isn't a human being.

Meng Panpan spoke up from the side, "Song Cuiping was also doing it for the good of your family. Hong Lanlan's drowning incident has indeed blown up, but the clothes were found in her house. Even if she doesn't compensate, she should at least give a reasonable explanation."

Du Jun nodded in agreement, "You're right, you're all right."

Xu Qingmo couldn't help but boast, "Even a five-year-old like me can understand this. You, an adult, can't see it clearly? If I were Song Cuiping, I would have divorced you long ago."

Meng Panpan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Du Jun blushed from laughing.

"This was indeed something I didn't think through. I shouldn't have acted this way. I'll go back and have a good talk with Song Cuiping." Du Jun impulsively walked back.

Meng Panpan quickly caught up and took the axe from his hand.

"You can leave, but why did you take my axe with you?"

"I'm sorry, I forgot."

"Go back quickly and have a good talk with Song Cuiping. Don't act impulsively."

Du Jun nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with determination. "I understand. I will absolutely not act impulsively."

After seeing Du Jun off, Meng Panpan returned to her original spot, turned around to confirm that Du Jun was gone, and looked at Xu Qingmo in the tree.

Do you think he can resolve the issue if he goes back?

"They'll probably have a fight."

"To be honest, I really want to go over and see how they argue." Meng Panpan chuckled and raised the axe in her hand to chop at the tree.

Before long, a tree fell to the ground.

Xu Qingmo: "Cut down one more tree and you can go back."

Meng Panpan's eyes lit up, and she rolled up her sleeves and began to swing the axe in her hand again.

Meanwhile, Du Jun returned home, and the aroma of food wafted from the house.

Song Cuiping brought out the food from the kitchen and looked up to see Du Jun in the house.

Song Cuiping put the food on the table, took off her apron, and said to Du Jun, "You're back just in time. We'll go to the county town now. When we get there, people will be at work, so we can go straight to get the divorce certificate."

"I won't go. I will absolutely not divorce you." Du Jun was determined and said he would never go.

Du Jun stepped forward and hugged Song Cuiping. Song Cuiping tried to push him away, but Du Jun clung to her again and hugged her tightly. After a while, Song Cuiping was panting heavily from exhaustion.

Du Jun hugged her again, his tone much softer. "I'm sorry. I didn't think things through before and didn't understand your feelings. I also said some hurtful things that upset you. It's all my fault. Can you give me a chance?"

"You were the one who initiated the divorce, and now you're saying you don't want to get a divorce? What do you take us for?" Song Cuiping questioned.

"Of course, she'll be my wife and the mother of Daya and Erya."

"Pfft..." A snicker came from the other side of the window.

Song Cuiping looked up and saw several figures standing in front of the window that wasn't closed tightly. She didn't know when they had arrived, but they seemed to have overheard quite a bit.

People here, when they have nothing better to do, often like to eavesdrop outside the homes of people arguing.

Song Cuiping blushed and shouted towards the window, "Who's there? Come here!"

After she yelled at them, the people at the window immediately filed away.

Song Cuiping angrily slapped Du Jun a few times, "It's all your fault. You made me the laughing stock in the family compound. Now that the news of our divorce has spread, if we don't get a divorce, people will definitely gossip about us behind our backs."

"I will never let anyone who speaks ill of you behind your back get away with it!"

Song Cuiping looked at Du Jun suspiciously. Usually, when she was wronged outside, she would tell him when she got home. He would either not say anything or tell her not to take it too seriously and just let it go.

"Did you just go outside and steal some bear bile? How come you've become so bold?" Song Cuiping couldn't help but mock.

Du Jun said, "I have seriously thought about and reflected on whether I have been too harsh on you, whether I have done not enough for this marriage. I have realized that I have failed in my duty. It is right for you to get angry with me. If I had done enough, why would you get angry?"

Song Cuiping couldn't find the words to refute for a moment.

Du Jun usually argues with her, so it's rare to see him reflecting on himself like this.

She just went out for a short while, and when she came back, she seemed like a completely different person.

Song Cuiping glanced at Du Jun a few times, then suddenly pushed him away, looking at him warily, "Whoever you are, get off Du Jun right now!"

Du Jun, "..."

After Du Jun's persistent pleading, the two ultimately did not go through with the divorce.

However, Song Cuiping still insisted on going to Hong Lanlan to ask for compensation for the clothes. This time, Du Jun did not stop her and even wanted to go with Song Cuiping, but Song Cuiping refused.

...

Hong Lanlan rested at home for a few days, carefully recalling the people who had come to her house in the past few days, wondering who was most likely to have secretly left clothes in her house.

Because everyone in the compound knew that she and Song Cuiping didn't get along, Song Cuiping was easily convinced that the clothes were stolen by her if they were left with her.

Hong Lanlan isn't so bad as to steal people's clothes and cut them up.

Just as she was lost in thought, someone entered the room, Song Cuiping, who came in aggressively.

"I've given you a few days to raise the money. Can you give me compensation for the clothes now?"

Hong Lanlan glanced at Song Cuiping and retorted, "You haven't gone to get a divorce? That's not like you. Someone with your domineering personality would be more fulfilled without a man. Why haven't you gotten a divorce yet? Did you beg Du Jun not to divorce you? Is that why the divorce hasn't gone through?"

Song Cuiping narrowed her eyes and scolded, "If you can't speak, then shut your mouth. No one will say you're mute."

Hong Lanlan wouldn't listen to reason. "I have a mouth to talk. If you don't like it, you can get out of my house."
