Zhang Chunxue's words made Zhong Cheng stunned.
He looked at Zhang Chunxue awkwardly: "Mom, haven't you always wanted me to divorce her?"
Zhang Chunxue still had no expression on her face: "Oh, so what?"
Her tone turned calm: "I just don't like Li Hongjuan. We didn't separate the family at the beginning, so I want you to divorce."
"Now we've separated and we don't even live in the same place... Out of sight, out of mind. Whether you divorce or not, it doesn't matter to me."
Zhong Chengfa was dumbfounded.
He originally thought that he was obedient and Zhang Chunxue would praise him no matter what after Li Hongjuan divorced him, but he never expected Zhang Chunxue to react like this.
"But mom, I...I listened to you and got a divorce..." Zhong Chengfa said this, feeling a little helpless. "Mom, how could you not react at all..."
Zhang Chunxue immediately sneered: "Zhong Chengfa, you wanted to get a divorce yourself, don't blame it all on me..."
"You're saying it as if I'm forcing you to divorce..."
Before Zhong Chengfa could speak, Zhang Chunxue spoke again calmly, "Before the family split up, I did force you to divorce... but didn't you refuse to listen?"
"So, you come to me now, are you here to show off or to take credit?"
Zhong Chengfa was speechless.
Zhang Chunxue said calmly, "My kitchen is small and can't accommodate so many people. If you have nothing to do, you can leave."
Zhong Chengfa opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found it difficult to speak.
Zhong Chengyi said kindly, "Mom, my brother wants to ask you to help take care of Hongqing because he is busy working in the fields every day and is worried that he can't take care of Hongqing...."
"Anyway, you stay at home every day and rarely go out. If you do go out, Hongqing can ask his uncle to take care of you..."
After hearing what Zhong Chengyi said, Zhou Mingli couldn't help but look at Zhong Chengfa in surprise.
Brother, are you...looking for trouble?
Sure enough, Zhong Chengfa's face quickly turned red, and he obviously felt that his request was a bit excessive.
He wasn't even going to mention it.
But since Zhong Chengyi mentioned it, he still held on to the last glimmer of hope.
"Mom... Hongqing, he is your grandson after all!"
Zhang Chunxue smiled: "So?"
"He's my grandson, so I have to raise him? Do I have any responsibility to take care of him?"
Her expression grew even colder. "Don't use the excuse that my grandson has my blood as an excuse..."
"Haven't you heard the saying that giving birth is not as good as raising a child? Besides, he's not even my own child!"
Her eyes fell on Song Yanshen again, and her eyes became much kinder: "In short, for me, Zhong Hongqing is not as important as Xiaoshen in my heart."
Zhong Hongqing raised his head and looked at Zhang Chunxue pitifully.
Zhong Chengyi was stunned for a moment: "Mom! Even if you say that the grace of giving birth is not as good as the grace of raising a child... you have loved Hongqing for three years!"
He seemed to be fighting for Zhong Hongqing, but in fact he was only thinking about himself.
After all, if his mother doesn't want her eldest grandson anymore, saying that the grace of giving birth is not as good as the grace of raising a child, then does that mean she doesn't want these sons either?
After all, his mother's attitude now really looks very similar.
Sure enough, Zhang Chunxue's next words were—
"I just want to tell you that bloodline is not that important to me."
Zhong Chengyi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Sure enough, his mother still said this.
"Mom..." Zhong Chengyi's voice was a little dry, "Don't say that... After all, we are still your sons!"
Zhang Chunxue said nonchalantly, "When I'm willing to acknowledge you, you're my sons. When I'm not willing to acknowledge you, you're just fellow villagers... Do you understand?"
Zhong Chengyi was silent.
He doesn't want to understand.
His mother had always had the feeling that she didn't want to bother with them after the separation, and now that she said this, it basically confirmed it.
Damn it, you can just say no and get rid of them.
Zhong Chengfa also knew that it was basically impossible to ask Zhang Chunxue to help take care of Zhong Hongqing, so he was actually just giving it a try.
After all, it was Zhong Hongqing who suggested it last night when he was lamenting to Zhong Hongqing that he would have to play on the side when he went to the fields.
He said, "Dad, why don't you send me to grandma?"
Zhong Chengfa suddenly felt enlightened.
Right! Anyway, his mother is still taking care of Zhong Yuanyuan, and there is also Song Yanshen by her side... Taking care of one is taking care of, taking care of two is also taking care of...
This is not the case, Song Yanshen can take care of Zhong Hongqing, and Zhong Hongqing can also help look after Zhong Yuanyuan.
Although he knew it was unlikely, Zhong Chengfa still followed Zhong Chengyi.
Zhong Chengyi even laughed at him at the time, saying that with the way Mom treated us now, there was no way she would be willing to take care of Zhong Hongqing!
So after Zhang Chunxue said that, Zhong Chengfa didn't plan to mention this matter again.
That's just asking for humiliation.
But unexpectedly, Zhong Chengyi brought it up.
The result now is...the two of them are silent.
It was Zhong Hongqing who finally broke the deadlock.
He looked at Zhang Chunxue with tears in his eyes: "Grandma, do you really not want me anymore?"
"Hongqing is very well behaved. He can eat only a little bit every day..."
"Hongqing will be very obedient and take good care of his sister..."
Zhong Chengfa felt even more upset when he saw his son's sensible appearance.
He felt that Zhong Hongqing had become more and more well-behaved since Li Hongjuan went back to her parents' home last time.
But even so, Zhang Chunxue still didn't want to like him anymore.
But Zhang Chunxue looked at Zhong Hongqing coldly.
He was like this in his previous life, always pretending to be good and trying to please her, so the person she treasured the most was Zhong Hongqing.
But what did she wait for in the end?
Zhang Chunxue looked at Zhong Hongqing and said cruelly, "Yes, no matter how well-behaved you are, I don't like you."
Zhong Hongqing's eyes quickly filled with tears: "Grandma, why, why don't you like Hongqing... Is it because of my mother?"
"Mom is gone, grandma, can you please like me again..."
"Your mother is indeed a factor," Zhang Chunxue stared into Zhong Hongqing's watery eyes, "but not all."
"I just don't like you anymore, it has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"I know, I know it's because of my younger sister. Grandma likes my younger sister more, right?" Zhong Hongqing suddenly cast his gaze towards Zhong Yuanyuan who was sleeping soundly beside him, a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes, "Because Grandma likes my younger sister, she doesn't like me anymore!"
Thinking back to when he was always held by his grandmother, but now...
