Chapter 87: Each with His Own Thoughts

"That's good too..." Chen Yi's face flushed slightly. The sun was shining brightly, and as it slowly climbed up the treetops, a layer of sweat formed on the tip of his nose. "If there's anything you don't understand, we can discuss it. Or, our math group can set up a time during winter vacation to go over the problems."

"I'm sorry, squad leader. I don't have time before the New Year." Su Jiaojiao declined politely, "You guys make the appointment first. I won't join."

"I understand. You still have to sell goods." Chen Yi thought she really didn't have time and didn't think much about it. "Then let's talk about it after school starts!"

"Okay." Su Jiaojiao agreed happily, "If I have any questions, I'll have to ask the monitor for help."

As they were chatting, Su Houli and Chen Guilan came out of the hall. Both of them had sullen faces and ignored each other. Chen Guilan walked up to Su Jiaojiao and said, "Jiaojiao, let's go!"

Su Houli glanced at the mother and daughter and went to the carport to push the bicycle.

Chen Yi knew what was going on as soon as he saw it. He looked at Su Jiaojiao with sympathy in his eyes and said, "You are busy. I will go back first."

A huge storm was brewing in his heart.

In other words, her parents are divorced, and she was waiting for her mother at the door just now... How cruel.

"Okay, see you at the start of school." Su Jiaojiao waved calmly, hailed a taxi, and considerately opened the door for Chen Guilan to get in. She then walked around the back of the car and got in from the other side. She said to the driver, "Let's go to Wujiaohua Company."

The taxi sped away.

Su Houli pushed the bicycle: "..."

He felt that Su Jiaojiao did it on purpose.

Deliberately showing off in front of him.

But the matter between the mother and daughter had nothing to do with him anymore. He touched the hot divorce certificate in his pocket as if it were a treasure. From now on, he and Gao Meifeng no longer had to be secretive. He would bring her to his family openly, and also appear in front of her family openly.

As soon as he returned to work, Su Houli couldn't wait to find Gao Meifeng and show her his divorce certificate. Gao Meifeng deliberately put on a stern face and said, "What does your business have to do with me? I won't read it."

"Call Yuxin tonight and let's have dinner together." Su Houli's tone was full of excitement. Even though there was no one in the office, he lowered his voice and said, "Next time I have a day off, I will go visit my mother-in-law."

"Go to hell! Your mother-in-law doesn't even know who it is!" Gao Meifeng looked cold, but her heart was filled with joy. She pushed him aside, stood up and walked out. "I'm going to the workshop. Don't follow me."

Su Houli understood her and knew that she had agreed. He walked back to his office with ease and called Su Xiumei to tell her about his divorce. Su Xiumei was very cold: "You don't need to tell us about your affairs. I'm just telling you that if you treat our mother badly, I won't forgive you."

She felt that Su Houli's divorce was a shameful one.

For that woman, he even gave up his house and land.

"Sister, don't worry about this. I've already made it clear with them. Mom will still live with me." Su Houli was in a good mood and didn't care about Su Xiumei's indifference. "When I have a house in the city, I'll bring Mom over to live with me."

"Okay, I hope you'll keep your word." Su Xiumei didn't want to say any more and hung up the phone. Liang Wencai, who was sitting next to him reading a newspaper, heard this and asked, "Hou Li and Gui Lan are divorced?"

"Yes, we completed the paperwork today." Su Xiumei's expression softened as she sat next to Liang Wencai, sighing, "The house and land have been transferred to Jiaojiao. This generous gift is a generous gesture for them both. I just don't know what will become of him and Gao Meifeng in the future."

"From what I understand, it was Jiaojiao who asked for the house and land, right?" Liang Wencai continued reading the newspaper, saying casually, "Su Houli gave them the house and land because he was anxious to be with Gao Meifeng. How come you think he's done all he can?"

"What do you mean?" Su Xiumei was displeased. "Anyway, the generous gift didn't treat them unfairly. Although the house and land in the village are not valuable, residential land is hard to come by. It should have been left to Jinbao."

"Su Houli already has a daughter, why give her to his nephew?" Liang Wencai became more and more puzzled as he listened. "Could it be that Su Jinbao can provide for his uncle Su Houli in his old age?"

"But giving it to Su Jiaojiao is the same as giving it to an outsider. She will get married sooner or later." Su Xiumei couldn't understand Liang Wencai's thoughts. "Although Jinbao is a nephew, he is a member of our Su family. In the future, this house can also be passed down to the descendants of the Su family."

"If you say that, Jinbao's descendants will always be sons. What if a daughter is born accidentally? Wouldn't the house still fall into the hands of outsiders?" Liang Wencai's tone was full of sarcasm. "It's one generation's business. Why think so much? Besides, your family doesn't have a throne to inherit."

"You talk as if there's a throne to inherit in your family." Su Xiumei knew that Liang Wencai was not on her side. Her face darkened and she stood up and went back to the bedroom.

Liang Wencai shook his head and continued reading the newspaper.

There was a sound of unlocking outside, and Liang Kun walked in with Peng Shumei, carrying a lot of bags. They both looked very happy. Peng Shumei politely called him uncle. She had been here once before, and this was her second time. Liang Wencai was very satisfied with his future daughter-in-law and smiled, "Where did you go to play?"

"We went shopping at Hualian." Peng Shumei took off her coat. Liang Kun poured her some tea and then sat down to peel an apple for her. "Today we ran into my aunt and Jiaojiao. They're selling down jackets at the Wujiaohua Company."

"They look great. Liang Kun even bought me one." Peng Shumei showed Liang Wencai two down jackets. "This one is a birthday gift from my cousin. My aunt is very gentle, and my cousin is very generous."

"Yes, yes, yes. Let them come to our house for dinner when they are free." Liang Kun handed the peeled apple to Peng Shumei. Liang Wencai smiled and said, "I'm afraid they can't. Your uncle and aunt are divorced. They won't come."

"Divorced?" Peng Shumei looked at Liang Kun with eyes wide open. "My aunt is so gentle and my cousin is capable. How could my uncle bear to let her go?"

Liang Kun was reluctant to tell the truth, and said awkwardly, "You'll know later."

"Is there anything I can't know now?" Peng Shumei asked the father and son with a smile. Liang Wencai laughed and said, "How can outsiders know about the affairs between husband and wife? If you can't live together anymore, just divorce."

Liang Kun gave Peng Shumei a hint and pointed to the bedroom: "Eat apples, they are very sweet."

Su Xiumei then walked out of the bedroom and greeted Peng Shumei indifferently: "Xiao Peng is here, you guys chat, I'm going to work."

"Aren't you on the night shift?" Liang Wencai asked her.

"I switched shifts with my colleague." Su Xiumei walked out without looking back.

"Uncle, does Auntie dislike me?" Peng Shumei asked Liang Wencai. Liang Wencai was unhappy, but he had a smile on his face. "No, no, I forgot. Before you came back, she said she had switched shifts with a colleague. Come on, let's go out for dinner."
