Chapter 103: Pedantic Thoughts Do Harm to People
Li Caiyun's face turned red as her man teased her. She was so angry that she twisted Zhou Yong's waist.
Zhou Yong hissed, acting as if he was in pain, but he didn't know that Li Caiyun didn't pinch him hard at all: "Little girl, do you want to murder your husband?"
Li Caiyun chuckled: "Yes, who told you to talk nonsense?"
Is he talking nonsense?
Is it okay?
It was obviously she who was anxious to have a child, and she pestered me every night...
However, this kind of thing is very embarrassing for a woman, so Zhou Yong can only take the blame on himself.
Zhou Yong patted his young wife on the back and rubbed her forehead with his smooth chin: "Go to sleep!"
Li Caiyun nodded, and the two of them hugged each other tightly and fell asleep.
The next day the weather was fine and Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun got up before four o'clock.
When they came out of the west room, Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian were already making breakfast.
The young couple washed up one after another. Zhou Yong looked at how much water was left in the water tank and took the shoulder pole and bucket to fetch water.
Li Caiyun, who was very capable, took over her father's fire-making job. Li Baotian was also busy, and went to the yard to chop matches.
The four members of the family were busy with their own things, and they had breakfast before five o'clock.
Li Baotian, who had just put down his chopsticks after eating, walked into the room with a worried look on his face.
"Hong Jun, what's wrong with you?"
Li Hongjun sighed: "Uncle San, my dad asked you to come over."
He didn't say anything, and Zhang Guifang couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Li Hongjun looked at the four people in his third uncle's family and knew that they would know the matter sooner or later, so he simply told them about it in advance.
Last night Li Caixia returned to her parents' home crying. The man insisted on divorcing her, citing emotional discord as the reason.
Zhang Guifang sighed after hearing this, and Li Caiyun glanced at Zhou Yong silently.
Li Baotian was furious: "Are you bullying us because we have no one in the Li family?"
Li Hongjun looked helpless: "Uncle San, my dad is almost worried to death, what do you think we should do about this?"
Li Baotian came to the edge of the kang and put on his shoes: "What should I do? If I say so, I'll divorce you. Caixia will never get ahead in her life."
Zhang Guifang glared at Li Baotian who was talking without thinking: "I'm trying to persuade them to reconcile, not to separate. Don't talk nonsense."
Li Baotian snorted and left home with Li Hongjun.
Zhang Guifang was a little worried, so she quickly finished the rice in her bowl, put on her shoes and went to chase her man while mumbling.
She was afraid that Li Baotian would talk nonsense, and Li Caixia would get divorced and be blamed by everyone.
Li Caiyun looked at Zhou Yong: "What do you think about Sister Xia's divorce?"
Zhou Yong: “…?”
He had nothing to see. After all, he and Li Caixia were not very familiar with each other in past or present lives, and it was not easy for him to comment on other people's family affairs.
Zhou Yong put down his bowl and chopsticks: "It's not my place to comment on other people's family affairs."
Li Caiyun curled her lips, and Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "What's that expression on your face? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
She was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Yong because he had proposed divorce to her not long ago.
Although they did not divorce in the end and became a real couple again, this incident still left Li Caiyun with a grudge.
"How dare I be dissatisfied with you?"
As she spoke, Li Caiyun got down from the ground, put on her shoes and prepared to clean up the dishes.
Zhou Yong secretly raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Caiyun who was acting like a spoiled brat, and smiled softly.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at your narrow-mindedness."
Li Caiyun would never admit that she was petty, so she piled the dishes together and left the house.
Zhou Yong's eyes fell on the table on the kang. He pondered for a few seconds and went downstairs to help with the housework.
Li Caiyun said quickly, "I'm going to visit my uncle. Do you want to come?"
In his previous life, Zhou Yong never interfered in any matter related to the Li family, and in this life, he had no choice but to interfere.
After all, he was in a profit-making business with the Li brothers, and he didn't help them when they were in trouble. What would people say about him later?
"Go, how can I not go?"
Li Caiyun was very happy when she heard this. She locked the door with Zhou Yong and went to her uncle Li Baoshan's house.
When they came over, Li Baotian's five brothers gathered at Li Baoshan's house, led by the younger generation Li Hongjun and there were more than ten people.
When everyone saw Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun coming, they couldn't help but greet them one by one.
"Brother, what's the situation now?"
Li Hongjun lowered his voice and said, "My father and my second and third uncles do not agree to divorce, but my fourth and fifth uncles are in favor of divorce..."
When Li Baotian was angry, he supported his niece's divorce, but when he calmed down, he opposed the divorce.
After all, in the eyes of most people, it is not easy for a woman to go home and move in, especially since Li Caixia has several children. To be able to just get by in this situation is a pedantic idea that does great harm to others.
Zhou Yong secretly raised his eyebrows as he listened to Li Hongjun's words, thinking that people of this generation were too conservative.
The man looked down on Li Caixia from the beginning. In their marriage, Li Caixia did not even get the most basic respect.
Rather than living in a marriage without dignity and enduring humiliation, it is better to free yourself early.
This is just Zhou Yong's personal opinion and cannot represent other people. After all, this was 1970, and divorce was a rare thing. In addition, there were children as a bond, so even if a woman wanted to divorce, her family would not agree for the sake of face.
Just as Zhou Yong was thinking wildly, Li Baoshan sighed and said, "Divorce is easy to say, but what should we do after the divorce? Besides, how pitiful is it for a child to be without a mother? So let's give in on this matter. Later, your sister-in-law and I will take Caixia to talk to the in-laws about this matter, and the matter will be over..."
Li Baoshan chose to give in, which was not a wise choice in Zhou Yong's opinion.
If Li Caixia didn't show some attitude at this time, even if she went back, she would be trampled under the feet of her in-laws for the rest of her life.
Li Baotian continued: "I think what the eldest brother said is right, what do you think, second brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother?"
Although they are brothers, this matter is ultimately Li Baoshan’s family affair.
Everyone has expressed their opinions. Now that the topic has come back and Li Baoshan has the same attitude, it is difficult for others to say anything else.
Li Hongjun curled his lips: "Dad, after this time, even if Caixia goes back, I guarantee that their family will go even further next time."
Li Baoshan was not thinking: "Then what do you say? Let Caixia divorce, and then you support her?"
Li Hongjun froze for a moment, then came to his senses and said, "It's not like I can't afford to support my sister."
Li Baoshan glared at his son and said, "Just shut up. If you can't help, don't make trouble."
Li Hongjun was depressed. He looked at Li Caixia who was wiping tears beside him and said without hesitation: "Caixia, can you please say something? Have you thought about it or not?"
Li Caixia wiped her tears and said, "Brother, I can't bear to leave my child."
After all, children are the weak point of most mothers, especially the children who were raised by Li Caixia alone. If they get divorced, the man will not give the children to her even for the sake of his reputation.
Li Hongjun lost his temper and nodded repeatedly: "Then go back and continue living with him. Don't run to your mother's house every time you have a fight. Your parents are old and can't stand your tossing and turning..."
Li Caixia burst into tears after hearing her elder brother's heart-wrenching words, and Li Baoshan sighed softly.
What Li Hongjun said was unpleasant to hear, but he was just speaking the truth.
After all, Li Baoshan and his wife are old, and they can't stand Li Caixia going back to her parents' home in the middle of the night...
