This time, He Yan seems to have really agreed to divorce her. Xiao Hua hopes that He Yan can keep his word and that there won't be any more unexpected problems.
Xiaohua let out a long sigh and slumped onto the sofa, stretching out her fingers and vigorously rubbing her temples.
The next morning, Xiaohua called her sister-in-law to explain the reason behind it.
Zhu Mei was so angry on the phone that she almost slammed it down.
"Ye Xiaohua, are you even human? You were heavily pregnant when you went back to your parents' home to rest and give birth. As your sister-in-law, did I ever say a bad word about you? Do you have any conscience?"
When other people become successful, their first thought is always for their brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces from their maternal family. But you married into a prominent family and now you look down on us poor relatives who come to rely on you. You've embarrassed us, haven't you?
Besides, it was He Yan who promised us to go, not you. We're going to seek refuge with you, not you. Why should we stop going just because you say so?
Xiaohua moved the microphone further away, afraid that her sister-in-law's voice could shatter her eardrums even through the radio waves.
"Yes, that's what I said. You can't come. Dad needed the He family's help for his surgery, which was a last resort. That's why I owe He Yan a favor. But after that incident, no one in our family except Kang An is allowed to bother He Yan with anything."
Zhu Mei was so angry with her sister-in-law that she cried on the phone. She was looking forward to leaving for the sea, but her sister-in-law called to tell her that she was not allowed to come.
She was furious.
"Ye Xiaohua, is this how an aunt should act? Are you really that against your niece?"
Zhu Mei was almost hysterical on the phone.
“How could I not want her to be doing well? I’ve already told you, the child must continue her schooling. I can pay for the tuition in full, you and your brother don’t need to pay a single penny. Who would dare to hire a girl who is not even 16 years old? That would be child labor.”
There's another girl for whom studying is the only way out, not getting married. Do you really think that city people would be interested in a rural girl?
If city people were interested, how could I have been abandoned by He Yan of the He family? How could I have been left to suffer for three years with my child outside without a single member of the He family taking care of us?
Otherwise, how could I have gone from a fat man weighing 150 or 160 pounds to a skinny man weighing only 90 pounds? Sister-in-law, listen to my advice: if your daughter is not outstanding, outstanding men will not even look at her.
Instead of whining to me about useless things, you should focus on guiding your child to study hard, get into the top high school in the county, and then a good university. That's her hope for the future!
After Xiaohua finished speaking in one breath, she was a little out of breath. She picked up the large teacup next to her and gulped down more than half of the water.
Zhu Mei was severely scolded by her sister-in-law and dared not say anything more. She couldn't win an argument with Xiao Hua.
"Is it true that you said you would cover all of Fangfang's tuition fees?" It has to be said that Zhu Mei knows how to grasp the key points.
“Tell Fangfang to continue her studies. Her aunt will cover all her tuition fees. I will support her through high school and then through college.”
Seeing that there was no hope of going to sea, Zhu Mei realized that her sister-in-law was really angry, and she didn't dare to challenge her sister-in-law's authority anymore.
At least she got some benefits. Her sister-in-law promised her that she would pay for all of Fangfang's tuition fees, which was a considerable sum. If she was willing to pay for Fangfang's tuition, Fangfang would have no choice but to go to school.
"Xiaohua, are you really planning to divorce He Yan? Can you really bear to give up such a good family? This is the kind of family that so many people would love to marry into. If you insist on getting a divorce, our parents will definitely not agree. I'm afraid you might anger them to death."
Xiao Hua knew they would only offer such advice. They said, "Whoever wants to marry into such a good family can go ahead. I, Ye Xiao Hua, certainly don't want to."
"Don't worry, the older people get, the more afraid they are of dying. They won't die of anger!"
Xiaohua hung up the phone after saying that.
This matter is finally resolved. Fangfang definitely can't come. Once this precedent is set, the other nephews and nieces will surely start clamoring to come too.
It wasn't that she didn't want her nephews and nieces to come and stay with her, but rather that she was indeed limited in her abilities. One should only do what one is capable of, and if you don't have the skills, don't try to do something beyond your capabilities.
At that point, we will simply be unable to cope.
If he ever becomes successful and achieves great things, she will take the initiative to have her nephews and nieces from her maternal family come to her for refuge, without her brothers and sisters-in-law even having to ask.
She can even arrange for her sister-in-law's dog to work as a patrol dog security guard at their company.
Lu Zhan hadn't come over for two days, and Kang An asked Xiao Hua, "Mom, after you and Dad got divorced, will Dad never come again?"
He Yan used to pick up and drop off Kang An from school, but he hasn't come these past two days. It's definitely not because there's anything he needs to do; it must be because of the divorce, which is why he's not coming.
"This is not something your mother can decide; it depends on your father. He can come anytime he wants."
Xiao Hua couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous of him. Heh~ Their divorce is a matter between two adults, what does it have to do with the child?
"Oh, okay then, he probably won't come. I heard you two arguing the other day, I wasn't asleep."
Xiaohua immediately apologized after hearing Kang An's words: "I'm sorry, honey. Mom and Dad didn't really have a fight. It's just that you two have slightly different opinions on some things."
Xiao Hua couldn't help but ask again, "Kang An, if Daddy never comes again, will you feel sad?"
Kang An and He Yan got along very well during this period.
"Hmm, maybe, but not by much. But I think I'll get used to Dad not being around me soon. He wasn't around before, was he? I didn't really want him that much!"
Xiaohua hugged her daughter tightly, kissed her forehead, and ran her fingers through her slightly messy long hair.
“Honey, adults’ grudges are adults’ business and have nothing to do with children. And there’s no grudge between Mom and Dad. Don’t force yourself to dislike or hate Dad just because of Mom.”
My dear child, Mommy hopes you will always follow your heart.
Kang An hugged Xiao Hua's neck and kissed her cheek, saying, "Mommy, I only love you. My love for you is genuine."
Xiao Hua tapped Kang An's forehead: "How old are you? Do you even know what true feelings are?"
Kang An retorted, "I know what true sincerity is. My relationship with my mother is one of true sincerity."
It has to be said that what this three-year-old said was even more touching.
