Song Yan and Liu Shuhong hadn't even entered the side room yet when Shen Ruomei, who had just returned from school, came in with one other person and two children.

Aunt Wei was extremely surprised. "Erzhuang?"

Liu Shuhong stood there, stunned.

“Mother, Mother!” Wei Qiu cried, hugging her mother’s waist.

Wei Song was too young; he had already forgotten his mother after not seeing her for several months. The child just lay there, silly-looking, sniffling in his father's arms.

Erzhuang's eyes were also a little red.

Aunt Wei then realized what was happening. "Come in quickly! It's cold outside. Haven't eaten yet? I just finished cooking!"

Shen Ruomei whispered to Song Yan, "I just happened to run into him holding an envelope, asking for directions to the address on it!"

I could tell who he was just by his accent and the two children.

I wondered if I should bring him back. But no matter what, he was Yueyue's cousin.

Even Aunt Wei is taking care of his wife, so we can't just ignore him!

Even if you don't bring him back, he still won't be able to find his way!

"This isn't your fault!" Song Yan said.

The two of them walked to the door of the main room. They heard Wei Erzhuang inside apologizing to Liu Shuhong.

"Shuhong, I was wrong. I promise I'll never lay a hand on you again. Look how pitiful the child is, being left at home like this!"

When you first left, Wei Song cried and looked for you every day!

Liu Shuhong held her son in her arms and leaned against her daughter; she also cried.

"Shuhong, it's not easy for a woman to go from one family to another."

At your age, if you were to find someone, they would need to have children already.

You tell me, how can you feel good about taking care of other people's children every day?

Erzhuang knows he was wrong and he swore he would change, so please forgive him this time! Aunt Wei advised from the side.

“Auntie, I believe what Erzhuang said. He really wants to change.”

I'm putting my words here; believe me or not, his mother won't change.

I'm definitely not going back; I'll stay in Kyoto.

Erzhuang is in Kyoto, so his mother can come all the way to Kyoto. No matter what, he's still someone's son; how could he not support his mother?

If I eat with her again, I'll work hard every day to earn money, and I'll still have to put up with her bad temper.

And all of this is good!

If my money doesn't get into her hands, do you believe that old woman could still hold a knife to her son?

I, Liu Shuhong, am not a cheapskate.

"Erzhuang, I'm asking you, can you not support your mother?" Liu Shuhong stared at Wei Erzhuang.

If you don't let the foster mother, Aunt Wei, say those words, Erzhuang won't be able to say them either.

"Auntie, I've thought it through. I can earn money, I can raise children, and I have children myself. I won't need to find a man in the future."

I will raise my child well, and my good days will come.

"Erzhuang, let's get a divorce?" Liu Shuhong insisted.

“I won’t divorce you, I definitely won’t divorce you, I’d rather die than divorce you,” Erzhuang said.

"Whether you get a divorce or not is up to you. From now on, you can spend the money you earn, and I can spend the money I earn. You don't need to support my child." Liu Shuhong stood up and took the child to leave.

Erzhuang blocked the door: "Where are you going?"

“This is your aunt’s house, so you can stay here! My child and I can’t stay here anymore. I can’t take advantage of your aunt!” Liu Shuhong said.

"Shuhong...this isn't it, this isn't it...won't it be fine once we get back to the brigade?"

"Besides, isn't the money at home... with you?" Erzhuang said.

"Yes, the money at home is with me! Then let me ask you, where is the money you have in your possession now? It's not like I didn't leave you a single penny!"

Do you really think I don't know? You gave your mother 20 yuan at the beginning of the year!

They can still earn work points, right? Does anyone in the whole brigade who receives pension money get 20 yuan? How dare she come back asking for pension money again?

Do you really think I don't know? When you give her money for her retirement, don't you feel guilty? Don't you feel sorry for me?

If she stays quiet, I'll pretend I don't know anything if you give me money.

Is she content?

She spent my family's money, and then you let her beat me to death.

"Erzhuang, because of this, I will hate you for the rest of my life!" Liu Shuhong pushed Erzhuang away, hugged her son with one hand, and walked away holding her daughter's hand with the other.

Erzhuang thought for a moment, picked up the bag he had brought with him, and followed Liu Shuhong away.

Liu Shuhong was determined to get a divorce, while Erzhuang was determined not to.

The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, some went to school, and others went for a walk.

Erzhuang arrived, still carrying the same bag from yesterday. The bag just wasn't as bulging as before.

Judging from Erzhuang's appearance, it seems like he hasn't even washed his face.

Aunt Wei asked tentatively, "Have you not eaten?"

Er Zhuang nodded.

Aunt Wei sighed. "It's all your mother's fault!"

Having lived to such an old age, why don't you accumulate some good karma for yourself!

Come inside, I'll heat up some food for you!

Erzhuang said, "Auntie, I'll heat it up myself!" He then followed the auntie into the kitchen.

After watching them go into the kitchen, Song Yan sat down and started reading.

Not long after, Aunt Wei came looking for Song Yan.

"mother!"

"Hey! Xiao Yan! There's something I need to ask you!" Aunt Wei said hesitantly.

Song Yan: "Mom! Just tell me what's wrong!"

"Just now, Erzhuang asked me how Shuhong makes a living here, and I told him that Xiaohu found her a job."

Erzhuang said he also wanted Xiaohu to find him some work. "Aunt Wei said.

Song Yan: Erzhuang is quite clever, but why did my mother-in-law say that to me? Song Yan nodded to indicate that she understood.

"I didn't directly agree to Erzhuang's request!"
