Listening carefully to Yuan Hua's narration, He Tiantian is now a qualified listener.
Yuan Hua is an independent individual, and He Tiantian respects her decisions. After all, this is Yuan Hua's life and destiny, and only she can decide for herself.
He Tiantian nodded and said, "Alright, since you've already divided things up, I won't say anything more. If anyone bullies you, you still have to tell me."
“Well, that’s why I’m here to talk to you.” Yuan Hua smiled. “Father, I can’t tell the children, and I can’t cry in front of them. Teacher He, you’re a woman, and you’re also my good friend, so you should understand me.”
"Hehe, after all, we've been together for several years and understand each other well," He Tiantian said. "Now that we're divorced, we should live well and make our lives colorful. Life is only a few decades long; whether you're happy or unhappy, it's still just one day. Our time is dwindling, so I hope you can cherish every day from now on."
Yuan Hua nodded and said, "Thank you, Teacher He. I will cherish every day from now on. The world is wonderful. When my child is a little older, I will take him out to see it and broaden his horizons."
“Yes, there are so many wonderful things out there. The beauty of life lies in constantly trying new and exciting things,” He Tiantian said. “Seeing you like this, I can rest assured. As for Zhu Zhitao, what attitude should I take?”
He Tiantian is just that willful, always siding with her family regardless of right or wrong. If Yuan Hua has a problem with Zhu Zhitao, He Tiantian won't give him a friendly look either.
“Hehe, Zhu Zhitao and I have a private matter, and we broke up amicably,” Yuan Hua said. “You can still be the same as before. After all, he is indeed a capable coach and also a father to a young child. I hope he can live a good life in the future.”
"Okay." He Tiantian shrugged. "Then I'll just treat it normally."
“Yes, you should continue with this relationship,” Yuan Hua said. Actually, she was touched when she heard He Tiantian’s words because she felt that in a metropolis like Yanjing, she could rely on Teacher He.
This reliance is not only material, but also spiritual.
Yuan Hua found solace in He Tiantian and returned home feeling refreshed.
Even though He Tiantian invited her to stay for dinner, she didn't stay.
As Yuan Hua drove, she told herself that from today onwards, it was a new journey, and she was determined to make the most of it.
After Zhu Zhitao returned home from work, he saw that his mother had just come back from the market, having bought a lot of chicken, fish, meat, and eggs.
Zhu Zhitao was about to speak when his mother berated him, "Hurry up and tell your wife to pay for the groceries. Also, that woman surnamed Wu is too lazy, I fired her. Tell your wife to find another nanny. I've done everything inside and outside all day, I'm exhausted."
Zhu Zhitao was speechless for a moment, then squinted and asked, "There are only three people in the family right now, can you finish eating all this?"
“Of course it’s not just the three of us. Your brother’s family is coming over tonight,” said Zhu’s mother. “Oh dear, my little grandson loves to gnaw on pig’s trotters. I bought four to braise. He’ll definitely have a good time.”
In this family, when good things happen, no one thinks of Yuen Wah or Siu Siu; but when it comes to spending money, Yuen Wah is the one who comes to mind.
He had a vague idea before, but he felt they were family, so he tolerated it.
This divorce made him realize how absurd his family was.
His indifference was even more absurd, tearing his own happy little family apart.
Zhu Zhitao had no desire to argue with his mother. He was feeling very sad and, fearing he might lose his temper, he returned to his study.
At 5:30 p.m., Zhu Zhitao heard a commotion outside, along with children shouting.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhu were very happy to see their youngest son's family arrive and invited their eldest grandson into the house.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, are you still at get off work?" Zhu Zhibin asked. "Where's Xiaoxiao? I bought her some milk candy!"
“That’s mine, I won’t give it to Xiaoxiao,” Zhu Xiaoqiang said arrogantly. “Grandma said all the good food is mine, and Xiaoxiao won’t get any.”
Zhu Zhibin looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "Mom, no matter what, Xiaoxiao is my eldest brother's only child. You can't say that about Xiaoxiao. My eldest brother might not be angry with you, but my sister-in-law will definitely be angry."
"Alright, you come here and immediately tell me I don't want to eat anything good," said Zhu's mother. None of them are easy to deal with.
Zhu Zhibin's wife, Mei Xiaolian, smiled, took the fruit plate from her mother-in-law, and said, "In our family, the mother-in-law is the most important person. Whoever she says should eat it, then we'll give it to them."
These words flattered Zhu's mother, making her very happy. She found her second daughter-in-law more agreeable, unlike her eldest daughter-in-law who was so aloof!
"Xiaolian is so filial. I made your favorite braised bream today. Eat as much as you like," Zhu's mother said with a smile, heading towards the kitchen.
"Thank you, Mom. I'll go help you." Mei Xiaolian smiled and followed behind Zhu's mother to the kitchen.
After a flurry of activity outside, the meal was finally ready.
Zhu's father went to call Zhu Zhitao.
Zhu Zhitao then came out of the house, feeling extremely sad.
Since my parents came here, there has been a nanny at home who never lets my parents cook, but my parents still don't like Yuanhua.
Sigh, I really don't know why?
"Brother, you're home?" Zhu Zhibin asked in surprise. "By the way, it's already past six o'clock, why hasn't sister-in-law come back yet?"
Zhu Zhitao was thinking about how to tell his family that he and Yuan Hua had divorced, but he was still thinking about how to phrase it when he heard his mother say, "Your sister-in-law said that I was not good to Xiao Xiao, so she took the child and left home."
Zhu Zhitao was stunned. How could he say such things about Yuan Hua in front of his younger brother?
"Huh?" Zhu Zhibin was taken aback. "Really? My sister-in-law has a very good temper. Hey, why are you pinching me?"
As Zhu Zhibin was speaking, Mei Xiaolian pinched his thigh.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Mei Xiaolian smiled awkwardly and said, "Mom, don't be angry. My sister-in-law is highly educated and capable, so it's inevitable that she'll be a little arrogant. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart. You don't know, ever since you came to live with my brother, my Xiaoqiang has been missing Grandma and wants to be with her."
Zhu's mother doted on her grandson. When she heard her daughter-in-law say this, she said, "Well, your eldest brother and sister-in-law live in the backyard, so you can move in with us and live in the same yard. That way, I can see Xiaoqiang every day. Besides, the elementary school around here is much better than Xiaoqiang's previous one."
"Mom, really?" Mei Xiaolian said, "I've heard the schools here are good, and I've also heard this area is where rich people live. I never thought we'd be able to live here too..."
