"What? We're grandparents now, can't we retire?" Jiang Guofu felt that he couldn't retire for several more years, and that he had to wait until his grandchildren got married and started their own families before he could retire gracefully.

"Now that you have the ability to earn money, you should reduce the burden on your son."

Hua Xiuyun said earnestly, "Do you think being a grandparent is so easy?"

Jiang Guofu: "..." He really thought being a grandparent was so easy!

He was hoping that he could retire after his son got married and started his own family.

As a result, we still have to keep going!

Jiang Guofu remained silent for a long time, speechless.

"For a family to be happy and harmonious, every member must make an effort."

Hua Xiuyun brought up Lin Zhaoyue again, saying, "After your daughter-in-law finishes her postpartum confinement, she will go back to university to continue her studies. She is a capable woman and will surely contribute to the country's development in the future. Do you expect such a talented person to just stay at home every day washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of the children?"

That makes sense.

Jiang Guofu nodded slightly. "Okay, I understand."

"Go to sleep early, there's still a lot to do tomorrow!" Since the children came back, Hua Xiuyun has been so busy that she hasn't even had time to catch her breath all day long, but she's quite happy to be busy.

Jiang Guofu: "..."

——

When Fang Leiluo was punished, instead of reflecting on their mistakes, the Fang family elders shifted all the blame onto Ren Zhaodi.

"My son, what use is a woman if she can't have children?"

“Our Fang family still depends on you to carry on the family line, so you must divorce her.”

"What do you mean by staying silent? Do you think silence will solve anything? Has our family had a single good thing since she married into the family?"

"Hmph, I've heard all about it. Lin Zhaoyue gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Look how well her belly supports her!"

"You missed out on such a good daughter-in-law back then, and ended up marrying a scourge instead. It's ridiculous that you think you got a great deal."

"..."

The two of them talked back and forth, saying all sorts of unpleasant things.

Ren Zhaodi sat there listening without arguing.

She wanted Fang Leiluo to hear how his parents bullied her when he wasn't home.

Ren Zhaodi's life now is even less comfortable than before she got married, and the root of the problem is that Fang Leiluo doesn't like her.

If a man doesn't protect her, her in-laws won't treat her like a human being.

Fang Leiluo was in a low mood. In all his years in the army, he had never received such a severe punishment.

"Father, Mother, Zhaodi..."

Fang Leiluo suddenly spoke up, and the two elders of the Fang family stopped talking and listened to what their son had to say.

"You want to destroy me, don't you?!"

“Son, look at what you’re saying. We all hope you’ll amount to something, how could we possibly ruin you?”

"That's right, the one who really wants to harm you is Ren Zhaodi. I suspect that this woman didn't have good intentions when she married you."

There's a saying that goes, "Those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences." You've already suffered such a great loss, don't you realize it yet?

"..." They were about to continue speaking when Fang Leiluo interrupted them again.

"If you had any regard for me, you wouldn't have put me on suspension for self-reflection. If I had completed this mission successfully, I could have been promoted. You're ruining me," Fang Leiluo said in despair.

All his efforts over such a long period of time have been in vain.

Fang Leiluo raised his hand and rubbed his face hard. "I still have a self-criticism to write. If you don't want me to be discharged from the army, you'd better shut up and stop arguing."

"What's the big deal about writing a self-criticism? You should divorce this woman right now!" Old Man Fang's voice suddenly rose. "Fang Leiluo! I'm telling you one last time, this woman is not only unfilial, but she's also of no benefit to your future. The most crucial problem is that she can't have children. What use is a woman like that? I just don't believe your relationship can be that deep!"

She's just a woman. With her son being so outstanding, he can just divorce her and find someone else.

Ren Zhaodi bit her lower lip, looking nervously at Fang Leiluo, wondering how he would answer.

a long time,

Fang Leiluo still felt that the divorce was a matter between the two of them, and no one else had the right to interfere.

Even parents shouldn't interfere.

“I’ll send you two back tomorrow. I’ll live my life however I want. Besides, even if I’m not here during our holiday, my brother can still carry on the family line for you. Don’t put your hopes on me.”

"you!"

A sharp slap.

Seeing his son's disappointing state, Old Man Fang felt furious and slapped him across the face.

You bastard.

He turned against his parents here for a woman.

He truly failed to live up to his expectations for this son.

"If you're not going to get a divorce, you might as well just sever all ties with your family completely. Your mother and I will pretend we never had a son like you!"

"Let it be."

Fang Leiluo didn't care anymore.

His dejected appearance did indeed frighten Fang's mother.

What's wrong with my son?

“Leiluo,”

"Stop talking!"

Fang Leiluo suddenly became agitated, "It's all your fault! Was it my fault for not wanting to marry Lin Zhaoyue in the first place? Do you know how much I regret it now! It's all because you kept telling me that Lin Zhaoyue's family background was problematic. If it weren't for you, how could I have looked down on her!"

Ren Zhaodi: "..." He's admitting it.

He still couldn't let go of Lin Zhaoyue in his heart.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have treated her like that.

Ren Zhaodi suddenly felt that there was no need to continue this marriage.

She wants a divorce.

This man is no longer the Fang Leiluo she knew in her past life.

When only the two of them remained inside,

Ren Zhaodi filed for divorce.

"Don't worry, I'll send them back tomorrow and I won't let them come again. Just live your life peacefully."

"No,"

Ren Zhaodi's eyes flickered. "Fang Leiluo, you don't care about me. I married you simply because you were a good person, but I've realized I was wrong..." She shook her head sadly. "We'll split the debts we have. I'll find a way to pay them off. We don't have any savings or assets to divide. But after the divorce, I'll stay here temporarily until I have somewhere else to go. Is that alright?"

Fang Leiluo never expected that Ren Zhaodi would talk to him about the divorce so calmly.

sure.

"good."

At the moment Fang Lei decided to get a divorce, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

If he does this, will he be able to pursue Zhaoyue again?

Thinking this way,

Ren Zhaodi seemed to have seen through the man's thoughts.

"Don't worry, your idea will come true!"
