Feng Mian thought about what happened last night, and while Gu Yuelin was sending Feng Xiaojing to Lengchuan's house, he had a low conversation with Lu Lan.
"Sister Lan, if you don't go back, my second brother will miss you."
"Humph, isn't he thinking about being filial to his mother? His mother even clamored for him to adopt her nephew as her son and let him raise him himself."
"You're talking in anger again, aren't you? Rongrong is still here. If you don't come home for two days, Rongrong will be worried. Rongrong has grown up so big, but has she ever been away from you for a day?"
When talking about her daughter, the carefree look on Lu Lan's face disappeared.
Feng Mian actually knew that Lu Lan had some thoughts in her mind. The old lady in their family was being naughty. Knowing that Lu Lan had made some money outside, she actually persuaded Feng Feng to adopt his eldest brother's youngest son.
Lu Lan has her own daughter. She works hard to earn money for her daughter's tuition. How could she possibly help someone else raise a son?
Lu Lan was very angry about this, but she didn't make a fuss.
Silence does not mean no resistance, but it means a stronger resistance than noise. It’s just that Feng Feng’s brain is not clear.
"Alas!" Lu Lan sighed and said, "Mianmian, to be honest with you, I want a divorce."
"divorce?"
Lu Lan nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't dare to do so before. I didn't even dare to fight Feng Feng's mother before. It's not that I didn't hate her, but I didn't have the confidence. I don't have a mother's family. Where can I go after getting divorced? Their family is so patriarchal, what about Rongrong? If I leave her behind, she will be tortured to death by Old Lady Qian. If I take her away, I can't even support myself, how can I support her? I could only beg with her, so I hated them to death before, but I didn't dare to resist."
As she spoke, she raised her head, her eyes already filled with tears, "Mianmian, I am really grateful to you. You helped me make money and gave me the love to dare to resist and divorce. You told me so many truths, which I never dared to think about before, and I listened to them all."
She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and continued, "I've thought about it. After the divorce, I'll rent a house in the city like your cousin Feng Xiaojing did. Three yuan a month, I can still afford it. And I'll transfer Rongrong to school in the city. I've asked around, and the tuition is about the same as the school in the village next door."
I didn't expect that she had thought so much silently, even thinking about the rent and the children's schooling.
For a woman of this era, she is truly remarkable for daring to divorce and being able to quickly accept new ideas.
Lu Lan is such a beautiful person, Feng Feng, that clueless loser, is not worthy of her.
Feng Mian never advised her to divorce, but only occasionally shared some thoughts with her.
Because most rural women of this era are bullied by their husbands-in-law, they would not divorce even if they drank pesticides to death.
"Sister Lan, when did you start wanting a divorce?"
Lu Lan sniffed and said, "When he stammered and told me that he wanted to adopt his nephew."
If you count it this way, it was only about half a month ago.
"He... He is actually quite mean. When I was pregnant and wanted to eat cherries, he stole food from home and sold it. He was beaten half to death by his parents... He..." Lu Lan said as she broke down in tears.
Lu Lan and Feng Mian had talked about Cherry many times, and it was also the most beautiful memory between her and Feng Feng.
It was this memory that made her willing to endure so much suffering.
Lu Lan cried and said, "I really couldn't bear to leave him before. I wanted to save myself, Rongrong, and him. I wanted to pull him out, but he was too heavy. As a woman, how capable am I? I can crawl out by myself and pull Rongrong out, but I can't pull him out. Now I have figured it out. Let him, his mother, and his eldest brother's family live in the rotten village. I won't pull him out. He can adopt whoever he wants. Anyway, I won't help others raise a son."
Feng Mian patted her shoulder and said, "Sister Lan, people might talk about your divorce. But no matter what, I support you."
Lu Lan gave an ugly smile, "I know everything. I will accept whatever comes my way. No matter what, it's better than raising someone else's son. If I stay with that family, I will be worn out by them sooner or later."
The semester is almost over and the elementary school has a few days left before the holiday. Lu Lan said she doesn't plan to go back.
As soon as Rongrong has her vacation, she will be brought to the city and go to school in the city next semester.
