Chapter 138

As soon as these words fell, the ward suddenly became quiet.

Liang's mother was stunned for a long time. She looked at the thin divorce certificate handed to her. In fact, this was the certificate she had been looking forward to for most of her life.

She took it with trembling hands, tears in her eyes, "How did you get your father to agree to a divorce?"

Before, she wanted a divorce but her husband didn't. Later, she didn't want a divorce but her husband had a bastard, so she insisted on getting a divorce.

Because after the divorce, they can kick them out with a legitimate reason, and then Liang's father can move in with the widow outside.

Faced with her mother's question, Liang Qiurun was silent for a moment. The water on her hair flowed down her hair to her fair and straight nose, and finally disappeared into her collarbone.

"He didn't go. I issued the certificate and helped you get the divorce certificate when you went to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

It sounds like a light sentence, but no one knows how much effort Liang Qiurun put in for this thin divorce certificate.

Jiang Meishu didn't say anything after hearing this, but she felt a little sorry for Lao Liang. She found a dry towel and silently wiped his wet hair.

Liang's mother knew this wouldn't be easy. She closed her eyes and said, "I've been looking forward to divorcing your father since I was in my twenties. I didn't expect to divorce him until I was sixty-one."

Forty years.

She spent almost forty years in this marriage.

Liang Qiurun felt a little guilty and sad when he heard this. His eyebrows and eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ash. He whispered, "Mom, I'm sorry."

"I intervened too late."

If he had intervened earlier, would his mother have been able to jump out of this fire pit long ago?

Liang's mother said, "No, Qiurun, you have nothing to be sorry for. If anyone should be sorry, it should be your father." She hesitated for a moment, then finally asked, "How did you get him to agree to a divorce?"

This was the second time she asked, because the first time, her son did not give a direct answer.

When Liang's mother asked this question, Jiang Meishu, Shen Mingying, and Liang Qiusong all looked over. They were also very curious.

Liang Qiurun pursed her lips, wrung the water from her sleeves, and said calmly, "I reported him. The Women's Federation, the Labor Union, and the militia took him away for having an affair. I got a divorce certificate from those units and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

It was unusual for him to drop such a bombshell piece of news.

"Father was arrested?"

Liang Qiusong subconsciously asked, "Will he die?"

He actually didn't have much impression of his father, but his father was still his father, and he was just a title.

Liang Qiurun, "I don't know."

"But he probably won't come back in this lifetime."

What he didn't say was that he sent Liang's father to a black coal mine. If this kind of thing were to be made known to others, it would definitely scare people.

He was also afraid that Jiang Jiang would think he was too cruel.

He could even do such harm to his own father.

Liang Qiusong was surprised, but before he could say anything, Shen Mingying grabbed him. She smiled and said, "I think Qiurun handled this very well. He will never come back, so he should stop irritating me."

She really didn't have any good feelings towards her father-in-law. It could be said that her husband's bad habits of being afraid of hardship and only loving to play were all inherited from her father-in-law.

Fortunately, her husband is not completely useless. At least he inherited his mother-in-law's kindness and clear-headedness. This is also the reason why her marriage can survive.

When Liang Qiusong heard his wife speak, he nodded awkwardly, "My wife is right, Qiurun, you did a great job."

Although Jiang Meishu didn't say anything, she gave Liang Qiurun an affirmative look.

This made Liang Qiurun feel relieved, and he went to see the person involved, Liang's mother.

Liang's mother was dazed for a moment, "He can't come back?"

Overnight, she seemed to have grown a lot more gray hair, and she looked several years older. Especially between her brows, there was an indescribable sadness.

At this moment, all the sorrows seemed to be slowly disappearing.

She suddenly laughed, no longer her usual elegance, but a loud laugh, laughing until tears came out, "You can't come back? It's good that you can't come back, it's good that you can't come back."

She had been waiting for this all her life.

She doesn't want a divorce, she just wants to be widowed.

What she failed to do, her son did for her.

Looking at Liang's mother who seemed like a madman, everyone was a little worried.

The water dripping from Liang Qiurun's clothes was almost wiped away by Jiang Meishu, "Mom."

She turned around and called out with some concern.

Liang's mother stopped laughing, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She had lived a life of luxury for half her life, and even though she was old, she still had fair skin, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes had become more profound.

"I'm fine." She forced a smile, with a hint of bitterness and relief, "Finally it has come to this, and I'm finally divorced."

After hearing this, Jiang Meishu and Shen Mingying beside them felt a sense of empathy. They were both women and wives. If they were in Liang's mother's shoes, would they be trapped in their marriage for the rest of their lives?

The answer is no.

Jiang Meishu would never accept it.

The same goes for Shen Mingying.

They cannot accept a partner who is dissolute, romantic, and neglects the family. They would find such a marriage vicious even if they stay in it for one more day.

But Liang's mother endured it for half her life.

"Room check."

The doctor outside called out, "Check Comrade Qin's throat. Also, check his blood pressure and blood sugar. Check them all."

It was the doctor who had treated Qin Wanru before, and he brought an intern with him. As soon as they came in, Jiang Meishu and the others in the ward suddenly became quiet and no longer talked like before.

After the doctor's examination.

Jiang Meishu and the others hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my mother?"

"My throat is still a little hurt. It seems to be more serious than before. Old lady, have you been talking all the time?"

Qin Wanru nodded when the doctor asked this, her voice hoarse, "Something happened at home, and we have to deal with it."

"Even if it's a big deal, you should shut up and stop talking."

"Family members, please keep an eye on her. She has injured her larynx. If she continues to ignore the injury, even if she recovers, she won't be able to regain her voice."

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Jiang Meishu and the others were suddenly shocked. "Then, doctor, how is my mother's blood pressure?"

"It's still a little high, including the blood sugar." The doctor reviewed the test results. "I know you want to ask about discharge. Given the patient's current physical condition, there's always a risk of fainting from high blood pressure. Stay in for two days for observation, at least until the blood pressure drops."

"Also, please don't tell her about your family troubles anymore. Do you think she's recovering too quickly?"

The elderly should not be angry or worried.

Jiang Meishu and the others listened carefully to the doctor's instructions. After they left, they arranged for a nurse to give Qin Wanru an IV drip.

"Okay, I don't have anything to do here."

Qin Wanru started to speak again, but was stopped by Jiang Meishu, "Mom, please stop talking."

Qin Wanru hummed, her expression a little listless, but no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she never threw away the divorce certificate in her hand.

This was something she had been looking forward to for half her life.

"If your father doesn't come back, then no one will rob the house anymore, right?" She suddenly asked, not knowing what she was thinking about.

She was always worried that the house would be snatched away by Liang's father, and she and her son would end up on the streets. Liang's mother had money, but whether she could take it out was another matter, as buying and selling houses outside was not allowed.

This is the most troublesome thing.

Liang Qiurun hummed, his voice calm, "He won't come back."

They all knew who he was.

With these words, Qin Wanru was completely relieved. She stopped talking and pointed at Liang Qiurun's wet clothes, then at Jiang Meishu, "You go back first."

Although she didn't say anything, people could clearly see what she wanted to express.

Liang Qiurun's wet clothes did need to be changed, but Jiang Meishu was a little hesitant. "Mom, Qiurun, go back and change your clothes. I'll stay here with you."

Qin Wanru shook her head, pointed at Jiang Meishu, and asked Jiang Meishu to accompany Liang Qiurun, and indicated that Shen Mingying and Liang Qiusong were also here.

Jiang Meishu thought for a moment, "Second sister-in-law, second brother, let's go back now. I'll bring food over in the evening and then take over your duties. Qiu Run and I will keep watch at night."

It would be impossible for an elderly person to be hospitalized without someone to keep watch over him/her at night.

Without waiting for Shen Mingying to answer, Qin Wanru raised her hand again and wrote on the bed, "Big Brother, Third Brother."

She has four sons in total. It absolutely doesn't make sense that she only let two of her sons take care of her when she was in the hospital.

Now everyone understands.

Jiang Meishu didn't say it directly. She thought about it and said, "Then I'll go back and say hello."

Then he left with Liang Qiurun. Secretary Chen was waiting outside. The wet car seats had already been cleaned by him.

Secretary Chen was Liang Qiurun's right-hand man for a reason. With all the work he did, no one else could possibly do it as well as he did.

Seeing them coming, Secretary Chen immediately got out of the car, opened the door, and held up an umbrella. "Leader, Comrade Jiang, can you guys go home now?"

It was only a little after four in the afternoon, but the sky seemed dark, with dark clouds and heavy rain.

But after standing outside for a while, even with an umbrella, Jiang Meishu's trouser legs were still wet. Liang Qiurun put his arm around her shoulders, tilted most of the umbrella over her, and helped her into the car before he got in.

However, the clothes that had just been dried in the ward and were no longer dripping started dripping again.

After entering, Liang Qiurun replied to Secretary Chen, "Go home."

Secretary Chen sighed. Heavy rain poured down on the car windows. The wipers were scraping away the rain until they arrived at the Liang family.

Liang Qiurun held an umbrella, hugged Jiang Meishu in his arms, and said to Secretary Chen, "I'll come over and bring you an umbrella later."

"We have to go to the hospital later."

Secretary Chen still has to continue working.

Secretary Chen nodded and said, "Boss, I'll just stay in the car and won't be leaving for the time being."

Liang Qiurun didn't force it. He hummed, "I'll call you in when the meal is ready."

In front of Secretary Chen, Liang Qiurun actually had a more down-to-earth air, a different Liang Qiurun from the one he showed in front of outsiders.

Jiang Meishu was listening quietly beside him. The rain was falling fast and hard. Even though half of her body was in Liang Qiurun's arms, half of her body was still wet by the time she got from the patio to the main room.

When they came back, Liang Rui was not at home.

Comrade Wang was there, guarding the kitchen as usual.

Jiang Meishu wasn't very wet, so she asked Liang Qiurun to take a shower first. She then approached Comrade Wang and said, "My mother-in-law has a throat injury and is currently in the hospital. Can you make some nourishing meals for her? I'll bring them over later."

"Make more, and my second sister-in-law and second brother."

Comrade Wang had also heard about the Liang family's situation. With a look of indignation on her face, she asked, "Is Comrade Qin okay?"

Jiang Meishu sighed softly, a trace of worry on her fair face, "I have to stay in the hospital again. I injured my larynx, and I don't know when I can be discharged."

this--

Comrade Wang was also a little sad. "She hurt her throat and can't eat anything hard. I still have the chicken soup I made for you this morning. I'll use it to make her some shredded chicken porridge."

"We're making some burritos so that the people who are taking care of the patients can also have something to eat."

Jiang Meishu hummed, "Sorry for the trouble."

Comrade Wang waved his hand nonchalantly and immediately went to the kitchen to get busy. Jiang Meishu was wiping her hair with a towel. Her hair wasn't very wet, but her pants were half soaked. She found some clean pants and took them off, revealing only her snow-white legs and round buttocks.

Liang Qiurun came out of the bathroom.

Jiang Meishu didn't expect that she would come out so soon. She was shocked and immediately pulled up her clean pants to cover herself.

The pants I took off had such a narrow piece of fabric that it couldn't cover anything.

Liang Qiurun stood at the bathroom door, looking at her quietly. Her legs were white and straight, and her butt was firm. Now that she had gained some weight, the curves on her body were so attractive that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

Jiang Meishu felt embarrassed by his gaze. She glared at him and said, "Still looking!"

Although the two had physical contact, they avoided each other when changing clothes.

Liang Qiurun raised his hand to wipe his hair, his eyes warm, "Very beautiful."

With a tone of appreciation, without any lewdness.

This made Jiang Meishu feel a little better. She quickly changed into clean pants, turned around and went to the bathroom, closing the door. Only then did she feel a little more secure.

Liang Qiurun, who was outside, watched her fleeing back and the slam of the door. He couldn't help but smile, "Jiang Jiang, I've already seen it."

Through the door, Jiang Meishu knocked on it angrily, her face flushed with shame, "You still say that!"

Liang Qiurun laughed muffledly and then stopped. However, after there was no movement inside, the smile on his face faded a little.

He was under great pressure and had a heavy burden, and he could only have a moment of relaxation when he was with Jiang Jiang.

After Liang Qiurun put on clean clothes, he looked at the heavy rain outside, holding an umbrella. He then took another umbrella and handed it to Secretary Chen in the car, "Go in and rest for a while."

As for him going to the old house.

Half of the people in the old house went to the hospital, and those who didn’t go to the hospital gathered in the main hall.

"I don't know what's going on with Mom either?" asked Boss Liang.

Chen Hongjiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "He's been gone for a whole day and a whole night. He must have stayed in the hospital."

Boss Liang hesitated when he heard this. "Mom is in the hospital. Should we go to the hospital to see her?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Hongjiao twisted his ear and said, "Going to the hospital to see someone? Do you have money? Don't you buy anything when you go to see someone? Are you going empty-handed? Liang Qiuzhang, have you forgotten that your salary for this month hasn't been paid yet?"

Do you really think they are all like Liang Qiurun, earning high salaries and spending money as they please?

After being scolded like that, Boss Liang finally gave up.

Liang Laosan, who was standing next to him, was eating the peanuts that Li Min had peeled for him, chewing them carefully. The fried peanuts were particularly fragrant and had a unique taste in his mouth.

"Yes, big brother, you should listen to your sister-in-law." Liang Laosan was very happy to be served by Li Min, and he rarely said a word. "With our salary, let alone going to the hospital to see mom, it's not even enough for us to spend on ourselves."

"Besides, there must be Qiurun and my second brother in the hospital. Their families are different. Qiurun is a factory director with a high salary. Although my second brother doesn't earn much, he is as powerful as my second sister-in-law. She earns almost two or three times as much as us. It's only right that they have more money and people to accompany Mom more."

"Those of us who were born in poverty should just stay at home and wait for mom to be discharged from the hospital. Then we will go and fulfill our filial duties."

The door was not closed. Liang Qiurun was standing in the rain with an umbrella. The raindrops, as big as beans, hit the umbrella with a crackling sound.

Although the noise was so loud, Liang Qiurun could still hear clearly the conversation between his brothers and sisters-in-law.

His face instantly darkened.

Liang Qiurun stared at his brother and sister-in-law who were talking and shirking responsibility.

At this moment, relatives, blood ties, mother and son, brothers, are actually just that.

I don’t know how long it took, Liang Qiurun turned around and left without any pause.

Perhaps he shouldn't have come to these people in the first place.

After all, those despicable genes of their father were inherited by them.

His cold-bloodedness, the eldest brother's cowardice, the second brother's laziness, and the third brother's romanticism, none of the four of them are missing.

Make those inferior genes flourish all at once.

Liang Qiurun went out and happened to meet Liang Feng who was running back from outside in the rain, "Uncle."

He hesitated, then shouted from under the porch.

Liang Qiurun hummed, ignored him, turned around and disappeared in the rain.

Liang Qiurun, who had just dealt with his father, was exhausted. He no longer had the skills to deal with these blood relatives.

He thought maybe they should leave it to their mother.

But not now.

Liang Feng was a little confused. It was raining so hard that he was soaked all over. He wanted to go back and change his clothes quickly, so he ignored Liang Qiurun and walked quickly into the house. He saw everyone inside.

"My uncle just came to see you?"

He asked casually.

But the attitude was cold.

If he didn't care about his uncle, he wouldn't ask.

"What? Your uncle just came?" Liang Laosan stood up subconsciously.

Liang Feng also realized something, "You don't know?"

"He didn't come in."

Liang Laosan paced back and forth, "How much of what we said did he listen to?"

Li Min looked at her anxious husband and said calmly, "Qiu Ye, aren't we telling the truth?"

This one sentence instantly calmed Liang Laosan down.

"That's right. We all have no money. Only the second and fourth children have money. It's only right that they take care of mom more."

This is really shameless.

Liang Feng frowned, a look of indignation on the face of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, "Grandma is also your mother."

"Shut up."

Liang Laosan suddenly shouted at him, "Do you have the right to speak here when the elders haven't spoken yet?"

Seeing Liang Feng being scolded, Li Min fanned the flames, "Okay, Qiuye, Liang Feng is just an ignorant child."

"A child? A sixteen-year-old? At Changcheng's age, he already knows how to support a family."

Li Changcheng is Liang Feng's stepson.

This is Li Min’s second child.

When Liang Feng heard this, he sneered, "Yes, sixteen-year-old Li Changcheng can support his family. I think it's because his mother sells herself to support his family."

This is really harsh.

Liang Lao San subconsciously raised his hand to slap Liang Feng in the face. Liang Feng did not dodge or avoid it. The young man was stubborn and looked at him coldly, saying in a sarcastic voice, "Beat me, beat me to death, and then you can expect that bastard Li Changcheng to smash the pot on your head in the future."

"Come on, beat me to death."

"Let me see if that bastard will take care of you until the end of your life."

This move hit Liang Laosan's vital point. He had this idea before, but Liang Qiurun's warning last time made him sober up a little.

The stepson Li Changcheng's surname was Li, so he was destined not to be included in the Liang family's genealogy, and was also destined not to be able to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.

Seeing his expression, Li Min's heart skipped a beat. "Qiuye, have you forgotten that Changcheng originally said he wanted to change his surname to Liang?"

Liang Feng sneered, "If a pheasant wears phoenix clothes, can it turn into a phoenix?"

"Isn't he still a pheasant?"

After saying that, he ran out without caring how ugly Li Min and Liang Laosan looked. Something happened at home, something happened to grandma.

But he didn't know.

This group of people was unreliable, so he went to find his uncle.

Outside.

After Liang Qiurun returned home, he put the umbrella next to him. Jiang Meishu had just come out of the shower and asked, "Why did you go out?"

Liang Qiurun didn't say that he was going to find other people from the Liang family and change shifts.

He just whispered, "I'll go give Secretary Chen an umbrella."

He didn't tell the truth. Secretary Chen had been in for a while.

However, Jiang Meishu did not expose him, "Let's eat first. Comrade Wang has prepared the meal. We have eaten and can send it to Mom and Second Sister-in-law."

Liang Qiurun was somewhat grateful for Jiang Meishu's cleverness.

At this time, he was left with a last bit of face.

However, the meal tasted like chewing wax. Before he finished, Liang Feng came running over in the heavy rain, "Uncle, what happened to my grandma?"

He didn't ask the people in the old house, because even if he asked, they wouldn't tell him.

Liang Qiurun didn't expect Liang Feng to come and ask about this matter specifically.

He didn't hide it, "He's in the hospital."

He wanted to see whether the people from the first and third wives were all so cold-blooded.

"Ah?" Liang Feng was a little confused. "My grandma is in the hospital? What happened to her? Is it serious? Which hospital is she in? I want to go see her."

Liang Qiurun looked at him. The concern and worry on the boy's face were genuine, which brought a little warmth to his cold heart.

"We'll go to the hospital after dinner. You come with us."

"Go change your clothes, wear Liang Rui's first."

Liang Feng nodded. When he came out, Jiang Meishu and the others had finished eating. The food was packed up and filled four aluminum lunch boxes and two enamel pots.

Liang Feng also took a few bites of rice and followed them to the hospital.

Several times, he wanted to ask something, but Liang Qiurun didn't give him the chance.

However, when they arrived at the hospital, Qin Wanru was lying on the bed resting, and Shen Mingying was wiping her hands beside her. When she heard the noise, she looked up.

She did not see her eldest son and third son behind Liang Qiurun.

Liang's mother had some guesses in her mind, so she asked directly, "They don't want to come?"

Liang Qiurun didn't want to answer this question, so he remained silent. His mother had just divorced his father, and he was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it if her son continued like this.

Liang Feng was unaware of his concerns and immediately spilled the beans, "They're not coming."

"They said it was inconvenient to go out because of the rain, and that visiting patients required money."

Before he finished speaking, Liang Qiurun looked over and said in a low voice, "Liang Feng!"

He was suddenly interrupted.

Liang Feng lowered his head and said stubbornly, "I'm not wrong."

Liang's mother saw all of this. She closed her eyes and said word by word, "After you are discharged from the hospital, we will split up the family."
