Chapter 64 I'll Tear Your Mouth Apart (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"What? Is that really true?"
"Of course, I only heard about it recently, but it's absolutely true."
“I always felt that the two of them wouldn’t last long. They only had two daughters and never had a son. I wondered who would be the pillar of the family in the future. And now, it seems their marriage is finally coming to an end.”
The news spread like wildfire, and soon everyone in the residential compound knew that Song Cuiping was going to divorce Du Jun.
The next morning, Song Cuiping got up early to cook for Daya and Erya. After they finished eating, she sent the children out to school. Just as she was about to go back to her room to sleep a little longer, someone stepped over the threshold and entered the house.
"Song Cuiping, you don't look well lately. Have you not been getting enough rest?" Liu Guiying asked curiously.
She lost both of her new outfits and hasn't found them yet; no wonder she's in a bad mood.
"I've been having trouble sleeping lately," Song Cuiping mentioned.
Liu Guiying became even more certain in her heart that Song Cuiping wanted to divorce Du Jun. No matter how strong she pretended to be on the outside, she couldn't help but feel hurt inside.
“Some things aren’t a big deal once you think about them. There’s still a lot of hope in life. As long as you persevere, good things will definitely happen,” Liu Guiying advised.
Song Cuiping smiled wryly, "Your family is so lucky. Although your first child was a girl, you had a boy named Song Wei in your second pregnancy."
It turned out that the divorce was caused by not being able to have a son.
Liu Guiying felt even more sorry for Song Cuiping. She patted her hand and continued, "Actually, there's no point in saying anything about having children. If you can have a daughter, you can have a son. Your next child with Du Jun will definitely be a son too."
Song Cuiping sighed as she thought about Du Jun's current attitude.
Shaking her head, Song Cuiping said, "I don't plan to have children right now. Let's just live like this for now."
Liu Guiying wanted to say something more, but she swallowed her words.
Divorce is a difficult topic to discuss, and the fact that Song Cuiping hasn't told anyone indicates that she doesn't want to face it yet.
Liu Guiying stopped sitting and got up to leave.
Song Cuiping escorted her to the door, and after she left, she locked the door and went back to sleep.
Liu Guiying left Song Cuiping's house and, making sure she wasn't being noticed, went into the alley.
Several people were already waiting for her, eagerly asking about the results of their inquiries.
Liu Guiying's expression was grave. "It seems they really are going to divorce this time. Song Cuiping has been having trouble sleeping because of this."
"They have two children, and we don't know how the children will be divided after the divorce."
"It turns out that all the good things the two of them did before were just an act. What family wouldn't want a son?"
"There's nothing we can do; if you can't give birth to a son, you'll be looked down upon."
The group chatted amongst themselves for a while before dispersing to tell their acquaintances what they had heard.
Within two days, the news that Song Cuiping and Du Jun were getting a divorce spread like wildfire in the family compound.
When Daya and Erya were in school, people stopped them and asked if their parents were getting a divorce.
In the 1970s, divorce was an extremely shameful thing.
Many people grit their teeth and continue living a miserable life, unwilling to get a divorce.
Daya and Erya were also ostracized by their classmates because their parents were about to divorce, and they were treated like dirty things.
Daya and Erya ran home. Song Cuiping was tidying up the needles and thread in the basket when she heard a commotion. When she looked up, Daya and Erya appeared in front of her with tears streaming down their faces.
Song Cuiping asked curiously, "Were you bullied? Who bullied you? Tell me and I'll help you get revenge."
Daya and Erya rushed into Song Cuiping's arms, crying, "Mom, please don't divorce Dad? We don't want to leave you."
Er Ya chimed in, "That's right, I'll eat less in the future, and I'll try my best to say I'm not hungry. Mom, can you please not leave?"
Daya: "Mom, say something!"
Song Cuiping frowned. She had indeed talked to Du Jun about divorce when she was angry before, but that was all in the heat of the moment.
Du Jun didn't say anything, which made Song Cuiping even angrier. She told him to contact people in his hometown to discuss the divorce, but Du Jun stormed off in a huff.
Afterwards, Du Jun went home, and neither of them mentioned divorce.
Neither of them spoke until the day after their argument, when Du Jun tried to talk to Song Cuiping, but she ignored him.
That very night, Du Jun handed over the grain, and he continued doing so for two or three days in a row. Even the strongest person couldn't withstand that.
So Song Cuiping has been very sleepy these past few days.
However, she did not announce the divorce to the public, and Du Jun could not say who leaked it.
Song Cuiping remembers that Da Ya and Er Ya were both there when they argued.
She pushed aside the two girls, Da Ya and Er Ya, who were crying their eyes out, and asked, "Which of you brought up divorce outside?"
Neither of them spoke, and the sound of sobbing could be heard continuously.
Song Cuiping raised her voice with a serious face, "I'm asking you a question. If you don't answer, I'm really going to divorce your father."
"I told you, I talked to Wang Xiaohu and asked him to come up with a solution to prevent you from getting a divorce," Daya said timidly.
Song Cuiping got angry and scolded, "How can you keep your mouth shut, you little brat? How could you tell others about this? Now look what's happened, everyone else in the family compound must have heard about it."
Daya asked, puzzled, "Mom, can't we tell anyone about your divorce from Dad?"
“I… your father and I are not divorced yet. If you go around telling everyone about this, everyone will think we will get divorced.” Song Cuiping remembered that Liu Guiying had come to see her today.
Liu Guiying doesn't usually like to visit other people's homes, so her unusual visit today must mean she overheard something.
Even someone like Liu Guiying could hear the rumors, so it's likely that others heard them to some extent as well.
Song Cuiping was troubled and didn't know how to face those people afterward.
"So, you and Dad won't get a divorce, right?" Daya asked curiously, forgetting her tears.
Song Cuiping glared at her fiercely and said angrily, "You're not eating tonight. You should reflect on your actions."
...
Hong Lanlan was cooking in the kitchen, her mouth never stopping.
"Now everyone in the compound is talking about Song Cuiping and Du Jun's divorce. Some say it's because they don't have a son. I thought they would stay together for a long time, but now it seems that they drifted apart from the very beginning when they didn't have a son."
Hong Lanlan sighed, becoming sentimental.
Wang Jing stared at Hong Lanlan's retreating figure and asked, "Did you spread this story?"
Hong Lanlan paused in her grip on the spatula, a hint of panic on her face.
“Actually, this was bound to happen sooner or later. As long as Song Cuiping and Du Jun got divorced, everyone in the family compound would still know.” Hong Lanlan didn’t think she was wrong.
It's just to let the people in the family compound know some things a little earlier.
"Hong Lanlan, you really are a big mouth! I'll tear your mouth apart!"
