The next day, she and Lin Manyun sent out the letter and package almost at the same time.
Lin Manyun was sending a letter, but she didn't have time to buy anything, so she simply didn't send it.
Mo Qiufeng also learned about his daughter's letter. He went to the farm and had a heart-to-heart talk with Yuan Huilan, trying to comfort her.
"I'm not that fragile, Mo Qiufeng, let's get a divorce."
Yuan Huilan's eyes were dark and she looked very haggard. She had not slept all night and was very tired. But when she closed her eyes, the words her daughter had written came to her mind. Every word seemed to come alive, dancing in her mind and automatically transformed into her daughter's voice, playing on a loop like a tape recorder.
When the day began to brighten, she finally figured it out.
In the Mo family, she is indeed an outsider.
Even her own daughter never treated her as a relative.
Therefore, she should get a divorce to avoid these three siblings blaming her all day long.
"Huilan, I won't get a divorce. I will criticize Heping. The child is grown up and has her own ideas. We as parents can't control them. We just need to live our own lives in the future. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Think positively!"
Mo Qiufeng advised in a gentle voice.
Although he was angry about what Mo Heping had done, he didn't feel that bad.
Perhaps it was the character he had developed after years of lurking. After seeing too many people backstabbed, he had already developed a heart of stone.
The children have grown up and they have to walk their own paths in the future. It is best for them to walk on the right path. He will at most pull them along the wrong path once, and if they still refuse to turn back, he will not pull them along again.
Respecting the fate of others is the greatest good you can do for yourself.
"No one can tell what my future will be like, so let's get a divorce so as not to affect the children's future."
Yuan Huilan has made up her mind. She is a decisive person and once she makes a decision, it is difficult for her to change it.
"The children's future is their own business. It has nothing to do with us. You don't have to care about it, and I won't care about it either. If they think we will bring trouble to them, then let them cut off ties with us and not affect each other!"
Mo Qiufeng's tone was very decisive, and he also said: "No matter what happens to you in the future, it will not affect me at all, don't worry."
He gave up going to the capital and came to Tanzhou to take up the post in order to live in peace and tranquility. After all, Tanzhou was his base and he was confident that he could control it.
The two were deadlocked, one was determined to leave and the other was determined not to leave, and finally they parted on bad terms.
Mo Qiufeng was feeling depressed and didn't want to go back to the military area, so he took a stroll outside, bought some cooked food and wine, and went back to the farm to find Lu Desheng for a drink.
Lu Desheng was cooking dinner, stir-frying bacon with wild onions, it was delicious.
"Oh, this is so strange. You, a cultured person, actually come to me to drink?"
Lu Desheng's skills in being weird and strange are becoming more and more profound.
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you want to drink?"
Mo Qiufeng put the dishes on the table. Pork head, peanuts, fermented tofu, and fermented beef in soy sauce were all delicious dishes.
"Drink, I can't drink you to death!"
Lu Desheng swallowed hard, served out the fried bacon with wild onions, took two bowls, placed them on the lame table and poured wine.
The table had a broken leg, and half of the wine was poured out, so the table tilted and the wine was almost spilled.
Mo Qiufeng couldn't bear it anymore, so he went out and found a stone and put it under the leg of the table to make it more stable.
"You're just going to leave him limping like this? You're too lazy to solve this problem that can be solved with a stone."
Mo Qiufeng was extremely disgusted.
"It's okay if I'm lame, it doesn't affect my meals, you intellectuals just like to find faults."
Lu Desheng was annoyed. He was not lazy, he just felt it was unnecessary.
Mo Qiufeng was too lazy to argue with him. He picked up the bowl and clinked it with his, then took a big sip. He was so bold that even Lu Desheng was a little dumbfounded.
"What stimulated you?"
Mo Qiufeng ate a piece of pork head and drank a sip of wine, then said calmly, "Yuan Huilan is determined to divorce me. I won't listen to her. Can you help me persuade her?"
Lu Desheng was so excited that he slammed the table, and the poor lame table almost fell apart.
"Slap your thigh, these things cost me a lot of money, if they fall to the ground, you'll be fine!"
After drinking, Mo Qiufeng changed his usual elegance and spoke in a much rougher tone.
"I told you it wasn't a festival, but you bought all these delicious dishes to come drink with me. I guess Yuan Huilan dumped you too, haha!"
Lu Desheng was gloating to the extreme. He drank the whole bowl of wine in one breath, picked up several pieces of pork head and stuffed them into his mouth, eating with relish.
He had fought in the war and survived many dangers. He finally returned to pick up Yuan Huilan after the battle, but found out that the woman had remarried. He couldn't say anything because the rumor was spreading in the army. Since he had died in the war, it was reasonable for her to remarry.
But he couldn't swallow this humiliation. Until this moment, Lu Desheng finally calmed down.
"I won't divorce you. Remember to help me persuade her and stop having these crazy thoughts."
After Lu Desheng's disturbance, Mo Qiufeng calmed down a lot. He regained his gentle demeanor and drank slowly.
"I can persuade her, but I can't guarantee that she will listen!"
Lu Desheng gave a heads-up in advance. He knew that Yuan Huilan had never looked at him straight in the eye and would definitely not listen to him.
"It's okay. You can give your advice. It's up to her whether she listens or not."
"Okay, come on, let's have a drink and get drunk today!"
Lu Desheng even dropped a line of poetry, which made Mo Qiufeng look at him with new eyes. He praised him, "Not bad, you can recite poetry now. It seems that the transformation is very effective."
"Of course, I recite quotations and read books every day, but I am not the same person I was back then!"
Lu Desheng proudly threw a peanut upwards, then caught it accurately with his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound.
As the night progressed, the two were still drinking. They were both a little tipsy and their words became more and more sincere.
"Lao Mo, you just love to pretend. That's what I hate most about you. You pretend to be a decent person all day long, but in fact, you are not a good person at all. I have seen through your fox skin a long time ago!"
"Nonsense, if I were a good person, how could I have stayed in the enemy's lair for more than ten years? If I wasn't pretending, could I have survived until now?"
Mo Qiufeng rolled his eyes in annoyance. He admitted that he was not a good person, but his patriotism was real.
When the mountains and rivers are in ruins and the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, he doesn't need to be a good person. What he needs to do is to drive the enemy out of his home by any means necessary.
"I'm not a good person either. I saved so many people, but my own son almost died at home. I feel so sorry for Xiao Ye!"
Lu Desheng took a big gulp of wine and shed a few tears.
Mo Qiufeng also took a big sip and knocked Lu Desheng on the head a few times.
He wanted to do this many years ago, and today he finally got his wish.
Both of them were drunk and fell asleep on the table. They woke up when the rooster crowed the next day. Mo Qiufeng woke up first. He moved his sore neck and sniffed his body with disgust. It was full of alcohol.
Lu Desheng was still sleeping soundly. Mo Qiufeng ignored him and rode his bike back to the compound.
When he left, he put reading glasses on Lu Desheng and painted them black with ink. He felt much better when he returned.
