Chapter 515 New Year's Eve

So when Zhao Meiling's children wished Wang Jinfeng a happy new year, Wang Jinfeng did not give them any red envelopes.

Zhao Meiling was unhappy and said to Wang Jinfeng, "Mom, it's Chinese New Year and your child is wishing you a happy new year. You should at least give a red envelope, right? Let's not talk about the amount, a few dollars is also a token of your appreciation, right? You're going too far."

Wang Jinfeng was even more unhappy: "Your food, drink, and other necessities are all from our family, and I have to give you red envelopes. You know I bought new clothes for your daughter during the New Year, why don't you buy some for my grandson too?"

Zhao Meiling also had a lot of reasons: "Your grandson's clothes are bought by his mother. Besides, even if it's not his mother who buys them, then your son should buy them. I'm just his stepmother, and we still live together. Why should I care so much?"

Wang Jinfeng said, "That's because you're not virtuous. If you were more sensible, wouldn't you let Guosheng buy it? Let me tell you, Jingxin is my grandson after all. He's capable and promising."

"What's the point of your grandson's success? Will your grandson still be willing to recognize you? Don't you have any idea in your mind?"

"No matter what, I am still his grandmother, Zhao Meiling, you are really far inferior to Jiang Zhi."

"That's really interesting. I'm far inferior to Jiang Zhi, but I'm also Lu Guosheng's legal wife now. Didn't Jiang Zhi also get divorced?"

"Zhao Meiling, you go against me every day. Aren't you afraid that my son won't want you?"

Lu Guosheng was so annoyed at that moment that he smashed a water cup to the ground, sending shards of glass flying everywhere. "Are you guys going to stop? You quarrel every day, even on New Year's Day. How about I buy some rat poison and we both die?"

Zhao Meiling also said angrily: "Okay, I'll stew a pot of meat tomorrow, and you buy some rat poison. We can eat a full meal before we die."

Zhao Meiling's daughter was so scared that she started crying.

Wang Jinfeng looked at the fireworks outside the window. She felt extremely uncomfortable. She held onto the windowsill to avoid falling down. Her face was very pale and her legs were a little weak. She looked at Lu Guosheng and said, "Guosheng, come into the house and talk to me for a few words."

Lu Guosheng said, "Okay, Mom, are you done yet? What are you doing on New Year's Day? Do you want me to divorce you or something? If you continue like this, this family will be gone."

Wang Jinfeng looked at Lu Guosheng with a face full of pain: "What did you say? I did it? Who have I been doing this for all these years? Wasn't it all for you? How can you say that to me?"

Lu Guosheng sighed and said, "For me? Don't put it so nicely. Isn't it just for your own face? And to compete with my grandma. Don't think I don't know what you think. Isn't it because of my grandma that you look down on my second brother?"

These words hit Wang Jinfeng's heart, and she felt even more uncomfortable: "Don't say it." Then she endured the discomfort all over her body and went back to her room to lie down. She didn't want to say this, especially she didn't want her youngest son to say it in front of Zhao Meiling.

Seeing Wang Jinfeng enter the room, Zhao Meiling became curious and walked over to Lu Guosheng and asked, "What's going on? Your mom and your grandma don't get along? Your grandma likes your second brother, so your mom doesn't like your second brother?"

Lu Guosheng also knew that this was the thing Wang Jinfeng was most reluctant to admit or talk about. He said to Zhao Meiling, "Don't think too much. It's not true. Don't say anything in front of my mother. Quickly clean up the broken glass on the ground."

Zhao Meiling curled her lips and said, "As if I want to know these trivial things." After that, she took her daughter to eat fruit without cleaning up.

Lu Guosheng sat in front of the window, looking at the lights of thousands of houses. He felt unhappy and swept the floor with a broom.

At this time today, it's not just this family that's having a weird New Year. Li Fuqiang and Yuan Jing are even more terrible because they don't even have a quarrel.

Li Wenbai has become obedient now, because his father really beats him when he makes mistakes, and his parents are different from before. This huge change in the family has made the child mature quickly. At this time, he lay down on the kang and fell asleep.

Although it was Chinese New Year, Li Fuqiang was still sitting alone at the end of the kang as before, with a kang table placed next to him to keep an absolutely safe distance from Yuan Jing.

Yuan Jing begged Li Fuqiang across the table on the kang: "Brother Qiang, I know you hate me, and I hate myself too. I was wrong, but today is New Year's Day, so please remove the table.

Li Fuqiang still didn't say anything and just lay down, but the table didn't move.

Yuan Jing couldn't help herself at this point and yelled at Li Fuqiang, "Li Fuqiang, I've already admitted my mistake and said I'll change. Even if my head is chopped off, it'll only leave a scar the size of a bowl. If you hate me, why not just kill me? Is that fun?"

After she finished speaking, she paused, then continued, "Have you been right all these years? Is it all my fault? You're also a person, don't you have your own ideas? Do you always listen to me? Don't you agree with my approach, which is why we've come to this point today?"

These words really touched Li Fuqiang's heart. He sat up and said, "I am atoning for my sins because I know I am wrong. Should I go and ask Wensong for forgiveness now? Ask Big Sister for forgiveness? We have tormented him so much. If I go now, I will only make things more difficult for him. I am not really asking for forgiveness, but forcing him and causing him more trouble. So all I can do is calm down and repent. Do you know why I don't ask for a divorce from you? It's because I also know that you are not the only one who is wrong in our marriage. So I will not ask for a divorce from you, and I will be responsible for you and the children, but I will not be like before."

After listening to Li Fuqiang's words, Yuan Jing finally understood why she had begged Li Shaofen so much, but Li Shaofen was getting more and more angry. It seemed that she was wrong.

Yuan Jing wanted to find the quickest way to resume her life, but such a quick solution was too hard to find. She couldn't really spend more than ten years to forgive Li Wensong and Li Shaofen. How many decades did a person have? She really couldn't do it.

To be honest, she still feels uncomfortable seeing Li Wensong's success. She can't make herself repent in a humble manner for more than ten years.

Besides, which stepmother isn't like this? Li Wensong was unlucky and his biological mother passed away early.

But she couldn't say these things, otherwise she would really have to divorce. Anyway, Li Fuqiang had said that he didn't want a divorce, so she always had a way and hope.

Yuan Jing had nothing more to say. She lay down on the other side of the kang table, turned off the lights, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Of course, where some are sad, others are happy, and human sorrow and joy can never be shared.

Fang Lan'e, Sanluzi and one of Sanluzi's younger brothers celebrated the New Year together.

This was the first time that Sanluzi felt at home at the age of thirty. He made dumplings with Fang Lan'e and set off firecrackers to welcome the gods. This feeling made him feel at ease.

Fang Lan'e was also very happy. She had the freedom of being alone, but also the excitement of being with others.

Sanluzi's younger brother also had a miserable life. He was adopted by his second uncle when he was young because his second uncle's family had no sons. But nowadays people seem to be less patriarchal, especially after the one-child policy came out. His second uncle became more and more distant from him, and even said that he would not find a wife for him in the future, hinting that he should go find his biological parents.

But his biological parents had five sons, so how could they care about him since he was not raised by their side, so they treated him as insignificant.

So he would rather spend the New Year with Sanluzi like this than go back to those two homes that were not considered home.
