Bonnie's parents settled down in the compound, and the elderly couple made sure their daily lives were well-organized.
In the morning, Gu Ye and Sanqi got up to do their morning exercise. Bao Ni's parents also got up, as they were used to waking up early.
Porridge was cooked in the pot, and steamed buns were prepared. Soon, everything was done, and Bonnie got up.
In the courtyard, Bonnie led her parents in doing simple exercises, practicing Tai Chi, which Bonnie had specially learned and then taught to her parents.
Although Gu Ye's family lived in a relatively remote area, many people gradually learned that Commander Gu's parents-in-law had come and were practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard every day.
This sparked an argument about whether the parents could live with their daughter in their old age.
Bonnie and the others have heard some gossip about this, but what does it have to do with them? They're just bored. If they want, they can bring their parents to live with them!
Even more so, some went to Gu Xiangdong to ask what he thought about his in-laws coming to live with them.
Gu Xiangdong was completely overwhelmed with worry. Wu Fang had been acting strangely since before the Lunar New Year, giving him a frightening and sinister look.
Moreover, he felt that someone had been following him recently, especially when he went to the small park.
"I have no opinion. Everyone in the world knows that Gu Ye and I don't get along. You guys are just being nosy."
Gu Xiangdong was furious. How could he not know that Gu Ye's parents-in-law were at his house? How could he not know that Gu Ze had been transferred back to Beijing and was serving as mayor? But what could he do even if he knew? Those two unfilial sons had grown up and were now independent. They completely ignored him and didn't take him seriously.
Gu Ze even threatened him, telling him to stay out of trouble and not to go looking for Gu Ye, otherwise, he had plenty of ways to ruin his so-called father's reputation, strip him of his last remaining right to retirement, and make him live like a piece of dog shit.
Gu Ze wasn't afraid of losing eight hundred of his own men for every thousand he killed; what he was afraid of was growing old and being homeless and destitute.
Because of Gu Xiangdong's attitude, no one teased him anymore; it was pointless and would only offend the Gu brothers.
Gu Ze and his family moved into the government compound, and Gu Xuanyi and Gu Xuanyu also moved their luggage back home, ending their time living at their second uncle's house.
Days passed by, each one both the same and different.
July is a busy month, with the college entrance exam followed by the middle school entrance exam.
Bonnie personally escorted Sanqi into the examination hall. Although she knew there would be no surprises and that he would be admitted to the school, as a mother, she was still worried and insisted on accompanying him to the examination hall in person. She felt it was important to have a sense of ceremony.
After the results of the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination were released, there was no suspense; Sanqi was admitted to high school.
Bai Yang, from Zhao Yuan's family, is also quite good. She was admitted to a normal university in Beijing, and she has always wanted to be a teacher.
Wei Hong's sister-in-law's youngest son was also admitted to a junior college, majoring in economics. His father is a businessman, so it's a good match for his major.
The day the acceptance letters arrived, everyone was quite happy, after all, a junior college was a good option. Only Sister-in-law Wei Hong cried uncontrollably until her voice became hoarse.
The children didn't understand what was going on, but Han Ye did. He knew that the time had come for Wei Hong to kick him out of her life, and even her very life.
"Make time for yourself tomorrow, and let's get this sorted out."
That evening, Wei Hong said to Han Ye what she had been preparing for a long time.
They had known each other since childhood and had been together for decades. They had experienced friendship, love, and family, but in the end, they lost it all, leaving not even a trace.
"Okay, I understand. How do I tell the kids? And what about their parents? They won't approve if they find out."
"Let's not tell anyone yet, and we'll talk about it after we've finished."
Wei Hong felt depressed thinking about her parents-in-law and her own parents. They were all elderly people, and this blow would be devastating.
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, Wei Hong, we, we..."
"Han Ye, we can't go back, you know me. The night I found out you had another woman, I threw up in the bathroom all night. Seriously, I couldn't control myself, I felt nauseous, I just wanted to vomit, and in the end, all I could vomit was bitter water. I can't understand how we got to this point. Are all these decades of feelings really worthless?"
Wei Hong didn't listen to what Han Ye said; she left immediately.
The next day, after the children had all gone out, Zhou Weihong and Han Ye packed up and prepared to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.
"Wei Hong, please sit down first. Before we go, let me tell you about some things at home."
Han Ye didn't sleep a wink last night, thinking about it all night, feeling utterly inhuman. Wei Hong had been with him for so many years; although she hadn't suffered much, she hadn't enjoyed much happiness either. He had finally raised three children with great difficulty, and yet he had dealt her a fatal blow.
“I will transfer the house to your name. I used family money to trade things before, not all of it, but it was still a lot, and it was our joint asset. I don’t have much cash on hand right now, I just bought a batch of goods. I plan to give you 50,000 yuan, but I can only give you 30,000 yuan first, and I will give you the remaining 20,000 yuan at the end of the year.”
Han Ye looked at Wei Hong, but she didn't speak and her face remained expressionless.
“Yes, I agree. The children are all grown up now, and there’s no issue of custody. Even the youngest is over eighteen. I will support whatever they think and choose in the future. I believe I have done everything a mother should do and have not wronged anyone.”
Zhou Weihong didn't want to say anything more; it was pointless.
