Ji Shu herself didn't quite believe these words. She thought she wouldn't want to go back, and that she and Mu Xiu would no longer continue.

Mu Xiu is a bit of a chauvinist. He always thinks he's right, regardless of the consequences or his family.

She truly felt it was all meaningless; now she looks forward and won't look back.

"Don't worry, your mother is just going to earn money for you. What's there to be afraid of? She'll be back during holidays."

Mo Yan slowly sat up and looked at Ji Shu.

"I plan to take Jiarui back to town to live and go to school there."

That unfilial son's affair has caused such a big stir; it will definitely affect the child's schooling here.

"If you want to come back, go find us over there."

Mo Yan understood Ji Shu's decision. This small county town wasn't very big to begin with, and Mu Xiu's affair had caused quite a stir, so everyone knew about it. If she stayed, people would just point fingers and say that she was the wife of the man who hit her.

This is the internet age; things spread incredibly fast. People won't bother to find out what happened, or that the fight was caused by the passenger's excessively insulting words.

Here's what happened: It was evening when Mu Xiu's friend Ge Liang was driving when he encountered a fare hog. Not only did the hog refuse to pay, but they also tried to assault him.

So he beat them up, and then the two of them beat him up too. Ge Liang called the police.

However, due to special circumstances at the time, the case was not filed immediately. Mu Xiu's good friend Ge Liang broke down. He lost his job and was also asked to pay compensation. He didn't want to live anymore.

Mu Xiu did not hesitate to stand up for his good brother and called more than a dozen taxis to surround the police station.

Impressive, right? Awesome, right?

Finally, the case of that good brother's assault was filed, and everyone knew that he was the victim. Mu Xiu couldn't escape now.

Surrounding a police station means you could practically hand him a five-year prison sentence.

This isn't just about taking the blame for someone else, okay? It's about feeling that your good brother has been wronged, that your good brother has been beaten, and that you should help, but not in this way.

That's really not the way to do it.

They say good brothers are for life, and loyalty comes first, hahaha...

For my good brother, I gave up my family, my mother, and my son.

You should stay with your brother for the rest of your life and never come back.

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Ji Shu nodded, her voice choked with emotion.

"Have you finished the formalities with him? I'll take care of the rest for you."

Ji Shu's eyes widened. She hadn't expected her mother-in-law to know. She really couldn't live with Mu Xiu anymore. They had been together for over ten years, and he had never thought about his family.

My best friend is always the most important person. We're always eating out. Sometimes I don't see him bring any money back for a whole month. He says he lent it to his best friend, but in the end, I never see him pay back a single penny.

"Mom, you..."

"Jiarui, you go out first. Grandma has something to say to your mother. Go out and buy an ice pop."

Mo Yan took advantage of Mu Jiarui's opening of the door, and Jiarui obediently agreed, took the two yuan given by his grandmother, and went out.

He ran out quickly, bought an ice pop, and came back. He heard his mother's voice as soon as he got to the door.

"Mom, I am indeed going through divorce proceedings with Mu Xiu. I can't live with him anymore."

As you know, over the years, he has never cared about the family or how Jia Rui and I live.

In his heart, his brothers were more important than us.

He eats three meals a day, and every single one of them is eaten out with his brothers.

When his brother is in trouble, he runs faster than anyone else, showing no concern for Jia Rui's illness or for me, his wife.

I feel really tired. This incident has made me see him for who he really is, and there is no future for us.

To be honest with you, I went out this time to earn money and find a job, and also to leave this place, to leave it.

I know I'm being selfish, but things are tough out there. I don't even know what to do myself. How can I take Jiarui with me? I can only leave Jiarui with you to take care of.

To be realistic, I have indeed thought that if I remarry in the future, Jia Rui will suffer if she stays with me.

Ji Shu was telling the truth. She's still young and hasn't given up on life yet. Maybe one day she'll take another step forward, and then what will happen to Jia Rui?

But it's different when you're with your mother-in-law. He's her grandson, so how could she not care about Jia Rui?

As it turns out, the old lady's management was really not very good.

“I understand, and I sympathize with you, but you can’t say that to Jia Rui. He may be young, but he knows everything. Give him some time, and he will understand you.”

Let's give Jia Rui custody to us. As for the rest, you can handle it if you can, and if not, I'll go to Mu Xiu and get his consent.

You can take this money. You'll need money for rent and work, so just send the child support payments every month.

She understood the difficulties her daughter-in-law had faced, and she was telling the truth.

However, from the original owner's perspective, it's a different story. She would run away whenever something happened, neglecting her family and abandoning Jia Rui.

It can only be said that everyone failed to learn to understand each other from their own perspective.

Mu Jiarui covered his mouth as the ice cream in his hand slowly melted. For many years afterward, he always remembered that the ice cream that day was extremely bitter, so bitter that he cried.

When Mu Jiarui heard Ji Shu's voice about to come out, he quickly hid behind him. He looked at the ice cream and ate it bite by bite, as if he were swallowing all the news.
