"Changjiang, that's not what I meant."
Ke Changjiang sneered, "What do you mean by 'not that'? Don't think I don't know anything just because I don't tell you. You never eat my mother's cooking. You want her to wash fresh clothes. You even have to wipe the stool she's sat on. Even when your sister comes home, you act mean to her. Do you think I didn't argue with you because you were right? It's my mother. She was afraid that I would argue with you and affect our relationship, or scare the children. She begged me, begged me not to argue with you, begged me not to argue with you. She swallowed her grievances all by herself, and for you, you became so harsh. From home to school, you are really a scoundrel."
The old lady hiding in the house heard her son's angry voice and suddenly burst into tears, covering her mouth and sobbing.
Hu Li didn't expect Ke Changjiang to say this to her at this time, and her face changed. "Ke Changjiang, what do you mean by saying this?"
"What do you mean?" Ke Changjiang had had enough. Hu Li used to make trouble at home, and for the sake of his children, in order not to become a laughing stock in the family compound, and in order not to make things difficult for his mother, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Unexpectedly, his tolerance was met with Hu Li's violent transformation. Not only did she act like a tyrant at home, she also dared to use his name to bully others outside. No wonder the parents of children in the staff quarters who studied in Hu Li's class used to greet him warmly when they saw him, but now they ignore him.
"Since you like doing housework so much, you should stay home and do as much as you want. I'll talk to the school and ask them to give the job opportunities to others instead of just occupying the toilet without doing anything."
Before Hu Li could react, Ke Changjiang looked at Hu Xiao again and said, "And you, I will go to the school tomorrow to find out what happened. If it is proven that you intentionally slandered Dr. Song's brother, then you will no longer be allowed to go to school. You don't deserve the title of teacher."
Hu Xiao couldn't laugh anymore. She didn't care about touching her red and swollen face and pretending to be pitiful. She grabbed her sister's arm and said, "Sister, look at my brother-in-law."
Hu Li was now almost mad with rage. She screamed, "Who gives you the right to order me around? I go to work when I want to, and I don't go to work when I don't want to. What right do you have to control me?"
Ke Changjiang snorted coldly, "Just because your work was obtained in exchange for my military service, I can withdraw it just like that."
Hu Li was so angry that her chest heaved violently. "Hey, you're like that. If that's the case, then we can't live together anymore. Let's get a divorce."
Ke Changjiang barely hesitated for a moment, "Divorce! I'll file for divorce right now."
Hu Li was almost choked by his words, tears welled up in her eyes. She turned around, went back to the house, packed some things, and rushed out with her child in her arms.
Hu Xiao had no choice but to chase his sister out.
After leaving the family compound, Hu Xiao grabbed Hu Li and asked, "Sister, where are you going with the child now?"
Hu Li said with red eyes, "Where else can I go? Home, of course."
Hu Xiao's face looked a little unnatural. "You know the situation at our house, how are we going to live if we go back?" Her parents said they were both working, but the house was only 40 square meters with two small rooms. Her parents, grandparents, and her grown-up brother all lived there. Even she usually slept on the floor in her parents' room. It was really cramped, so she stayed with her sister and brother-in-law from time to time. It was convenient for her to go to work, and the food was better than at home. She also wanted her sister to help her find an officer in the military region to marry. If her sister and brother-in-law really divorced, what hope would she have?
"Sister, it's too late. It's not a good idea to run back home like this. Why don't we go back to the family compound first and talk about it tomorrow." Hu Xiao advised.
Hu Li refused. "I'd rather sleep on the floor in my parents' room than go back home. If he doesn't admit his mistake to me this time, I will never forgive him."
