Chapter 71 Whoever doesn't get a divorce is a grandson (Seeking monthly votes)
Du Jun remained silent, prompting Song Cuiping to urge him, "Why aren't you saying anything? Speak up."
Daya and Erya rushed forward and hugged Song Cuiping's legs, crying and begging her not to leave.
With red eyes, Daya said in a small voice, "Mom, can you please not divorce Dad? This family can't live without you."
Song Cuiping advised, "If I leave this family, your father can find you a new mother who will treat you better than I did. You should be happy."
"I don't want a new mom, I only want you. No one else will treat me well," Daya cried.
Er Ya chimed in, "That's right, I don't want a new mom either."
Du Jun was somewhat annoyed, "Can you please not say these things in front of the children? Aren't you ashamed!"
“If you’re not ashamed, why should I be?” Song Cuiping continued to question. “You haven’t said when you’re going to get a divorce yet. Give me a date.”
Not wanting to remain silent in front of outsiders, Du Jun retorted defiantly, "I'll go in three days."
Song Cuiping's heart skipped a beat, and she forced back her tears.
She nodded. "Okay, we'll get the divorce certificate in three days. Whoever doesn't get a divorce is a grandson."
Wang Jing couldn't persuade the two of them at all; they were both very stubborn.
Daya and Erya were flustered, glancing at Du Jun and Song Cuiping, but they didn't know what to say.
When Xu Qingmo came over, she saw Song Cuiping and Du Jun sulking.
Wang Jing sighed silently and said to Daya, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help you."
Daya tried hard not to cry and shook her head. "It's okay."
Er Ya ran up to Xu Qingmo, grabbed her little hand and shook it repeatedly, pleading with Xu Qingmo, "Everyone in the family compound says you're a prodigy, you're super amazing, can you please tell my parents not to get a divorce?"
Xu Qingmo shook her head. "I can't help you with this."
"Why can't I help? I really don't want my parents to get divorced." Er Ya became more and more aggrieved as she spoke.
Xu Qingmo called for Wang Jing to leave.
On the way back, Wang Jing was still immersed in what had just happened and hadn't gotten over it.
Holding Xu Qingmo's small hand, she couldn't help but ask, "Momo, do you think they'll get a divorce?"
"We can't leave each other," Xu Qingmo replied with absolute certainty.
Wang Jing asked in confusion, "How did you know?"
"If they really wanted a divorce, they would have done it long ago, instead of waiting until now."
Actually, Xu Qingmo had a dream in which Du Jun disappeared on the day he got his divorce certificate.
That's right, he deliberately disappeared in order to avoid getting a divorce certificate.
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Jing felt that what was said made a lot of sense.
She breathed a sigh of relief. "It's obvious that Du Jun has feelings for Song Cuiping, but he's too proud to admit his feelings easily. Song Cuiping has a short temper, so it's inevitable that there will be friction between them. I hope things will get better in the future."
Xu Qingmo didn't speak. She didn't understand or want to understand relationships between men and women.
In her eyes, as long as her family can live a good life, that's all that matters.
As for the others, they have little to do with her.
The next two days passed peacefully until the morning of the third day, when many people in the residential compound were staring at Song Cuiping's door.
Early in the morning, Song Cuiping got up, put on the red jumpsuit her family had bought for her when she got married, applied powder and lipstick to her face, and even drew her eyebrows black.
She looked in the mirror and saw that the wounds on her face had scabbed over, and the powder couldn't cover them up.
Every time she looked in the mirror and saw the injuries on her face, she would think of Hong Lanlan, and her anger would only intensify, further solidifying her resolve to get a divorce.
Du Jun was sitting in the bedroom. Song Cuiping was already prepared and called out to the people in the room, "What are you daydreaming about? We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"I don't want to go," Du Jun refused outright.
Song Cuiping immediately lost her temper, "You think you can just say you don't want to go and then you won't? You're the one who brought up divorce, and now you're saying you don't want to go? How can you go back on your word like that!"
"I don't think we've reached the point of divorce yet. Can you change your temper? Let's live a good life together from now on." Du Jun was clearly showing signs of backing down.
Song Cuiping was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it. Hearing Du Jun's words, she became even angrier. "Why should I change my temper? Did I do something wrong? Du Jun, don't push your luck."
“I didn’t bully you. I’ve never laid a hand on you since we got married. Now you have injuries on your face. If we go out together, people will definitely think that I hit you, which is why you want to divorce me. I’m not going to take that blame.”
Song Cuiping frowned; so that was why he didn't want to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Song Cuiping said, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll explain to whoever misunderstands you."
"What if some people only say it to themselves? How do you explain that?"
"I've noticed you're really stubborn. You're always meddling in everything, from the heavens to the earth, and even what other people are thinking. You're just asking for trouble."
"I will never get a divorce until the injury on your face has healed," Du Jun said, and walked straight out of the house.
Song Cuiping hurriedly caught up, but then remembered that the door wasn't locked, so she turned back to lock it before chasing after it again.
After chasing them out of the family compound, they found that Du Jun was gone.
She called out Du Jun's name to those around her, but no one responded.
Song Cuiping cursed a few times in anger, then went home and took a nap.
These past few days, she's been unable to sleep because of the divorce, but this time when she got home, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
On the mountain, Meng Panpan wielded an axe to chop down trees, while Xu Qingmo sat on a nearby tree branch to enjoy the shade.
Meng Panpan couldn't help but mention Song Cuiping and Du Jun's impending divorce. She sighed, "Life is so hard for divorced women. Song Cuiping's family doesn't treat her well either. If they really divorce, she probably won't have anywhere to go. I don't know if Du Jun will let her continue living in the family compound."
"Song Cuiping and I will not get a divorce," Du Jun's voice came through.
Meng Panpan's heart tightened. She had been caught red-handed gossiping behind someone's back. She turned around and saw Du Jun walking over with one hand in his pocket. She gave an awkward smile.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you going to get a divorce?" Meng Panpan realized she had said the wrong thing after she finished speaking, and immediately pursed her lips.
Du Jun reached out to the sky for an axe, and although Meng Panpan was suspicious, she still handed him the axe.
Du Jun picked up an axe and chopped at the tree. "I said I wouldn't get a divorce and I won't. Getting married isn't easy, and living together isn't easy either. If I were to make a fuss about divorce every time something happens, that's not something a man like me should do."
Meng Panpan tentatively asked, "If you don't get a divorce, and Song Cuiping continues to cause trouble for Hong Lanlan, what will you do?"
Du Jun hesitated; to be honest, he hadn't figured out how to deal with the situation.
But he doesn't want to get a divorce.
Du Jun asked the two people present for help, "What do you think I should do?"
