This was the first time in Niu Tiezhu's life that he heard Chen Guihua speak so ruthlessly to Niu Dali.
"Mom, how could you say that about Dad?"
After Chen Guihua finished scolding Niu Dali, she turned to look at Niu Tiezhu and said, "If you hadn't said anything, I would have almost forgotten about you."
When Niu Tiezhu heard this, he took a breath of cold air and felt that something bad was going to happen.
Indeed, his premonition was very accurate, because after Chen Guihua criticized Niu Dali, she started to criticize Niu Tiezhu.
Chen Guihua put her hands on her hips and said to Niu Tiezhu, "You also know that I am your mother! From childhood to adulthood, I have never treated you badly. Everything you eat and use is the best among all my children.
But look down again, have you ever been filial to me as if I were your mother for even one day?
When you were sick, it was me, Chen Guihua, who took care of you all day long without even closing my eyes.
And when I was sick in bed and needed your care, you ran away so fast that you didn't even give me a sip of water. Tell me, what difference does it make whether I want a child like you or not?
Niu Tiezhu lowered his head when Chen Guihua asked him this, and muttered softly, "Don't you still have Chunsheng and Xiahe to take care of you?
Besides, it's just a glass of water. Is there any need to make a fuss about it?"
Chen Guihua sneered, "Do you know that what I want is not that glass of water, but your attitude towards your parents as a child. Do you have this attitude?"
Niu Tiezhu felt very insecure when Chen Guihua asked him this question, and he didn't know what to say next.
"You always look at me from a moral high ground, but never examine how you are doing?"
Chen Guihua glanced at the onlookers and said loudly, "It just so happens that all of you are here today. I, Chen Guihua, have divorced Niu Dali and have also signed a severance agreement with Niu Tiezhu. From now on, the three of us are no longer a family. Please bear witness to my wishes!"
After saying that, Chen Guihua ran into the house and took out her divorce certificate with Niu Dali and the letter of severance with Niu Tiezhu and showed them to everyone.
"If these two people come to our doorstep again to cause trouble, I will report them to the police and sue them for disturbing the public!"
"My dear..."
"mom……"
"roll!"
When Niu Dali and Niu Tiezhu saw Chen Guihua say such decisive words in front of so many people, they felt an inexplicable sense of loss, as if they were about to lose something important.
But this feeling of loss didn't last long.
When Niu Dali saw Liu Damei in the crowd, his heart drifted to Liu Damei again.
Chen Guihua didn't have time to care about Niu Dali's worries. She pushed Niu Dali away, and then she and Liu Xiaofen pushed the wooden cart into the house and closed the gate of the yard.
Seeing that there was nothing to watch, everyone went back to their homes. Liu Damei also left with the crowd without even looking at Niu Dali. She was already muttering in her heart that Niu Dali was really useless.
Niu Dali and Niu Tiezhu also staggered towards home.
Niu Tiezhu held Niu Dali's arm and asked softly, "Dad, does Mom really not want us anymore?"
Niu Dali sighed deeply, "I don't think so. She's probably still angry. She should come back on her own after a while."
"But, what she said today..."
Niu Dali patted the back of Niu Tiezhu's hand and said, "Don't think too much. Your mother has lived with us for more than ten years. How can she just say she doesn't want you? Especially you. She treats you the best. How could she bear to give you up?"
Niu Dali only comforted Niu Tiezhu verbally, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
The father and son returned to their yard.
The courtyard gate was opened, and the ground was dirty and messy. Chen Guihua, who was working diligently in the yard, could no longer be seen.
The clothes that Niu Dali and Niu Tiezhu had thrown in the basin had not been washed for two days, and a few flies were buzzing around the basin.
The dishes in the kitchen had been piled up for two days and were so dirty they smelled a bit.
It turns out that this house is so tidy because of Chen Guihua's care. Clothes need to be washed, and dishes will not become clean automatically.
Niu Tiezhu went to the kitchen, opened the lid of the pot, looked at the empty pot, turned to Niu Dali and said, "Dad, I'm hungry."
Niu Dali said weakly, "Then can't you cook for yourself? I'm tired!"
Niu Tiezhu lowered his head and said, "Dad, I don't know how to cook."
What Niu Tiezhu said was true. He really couldn't cook. In the past, most of the housework was done by Chen Guihua, with Niu Chunsheng and Niu Xiahe assisting him.
Niu Dali was helpless, he really raised a good son!
"Then you wash the dishes and I'll cook."
"oh!"
Although Niu Tiezhu was a little unhappy, he still rolled up his sleeves and went to wash the dishes.
As a result, the dishes and chopsticks fell to the ground with a "crackling" sound and broke into pieces.
Niu Dali rolled his eyes at Niu Tiezhu and said, "You can't even do this little thing. I really raised you for nothing!"
As he spoke, he went to the rice jar next to the stove to get rice.
The moment the lid of the rice jar was opened, Niu Dali was dumbfounded. The rice jar was empty.
It’s really hard to do anything without Chen Guihua at home, but fortunately there are still some corn cobs at home, so I’ll just eat corn cobs for dinner.
At dinner, the father and son sat in front of the table that had not been cleaned for two days, eating corn and talking.
"Dad, we can't live without a woman at home. Look, our lives have been in such a mess these past two days when Mom was away."
Niu Dali bit the corn in his mouth and sighed, "Yes, a family needs a woman."
Judging from Chen Guihua's attitude, she probably won't come back to live with them in the short term, so she can only stay with Liu Damei.
"Tiezhu, what do you think if your father finds other women to help us with housework?" Niu Dali asked cautiously.
Niu Tiezhu still hoped that Chen Guihua would come home to serve them. After all, Chen Guihua had served them father and son for so many years, and he was used to it.
"Dad, can you please ask Mom again?"
Niu Dali sighed deeply and spoke slowly, "You saw your mother's attitude today. She probably won't be back anytime soon. Besides, Dad is thinking of me finding a woman to bring home and stir up your mother. Maybe she'll get excited and run back home to beg us to take her in. Then, not only can we keep your mother here, but we can also wash away the shame of being lectured by your mother today."
When Niu Tiezhu heard Niu Dali mention today's events again, his displeasure flared up again.
He had been raised and protected by Shen Guihua since he was a child. How could he have been humiliated in public by Shen Guihua?
"Dad, then you should find an aunt to come back and live with us and stimulate Mom. I want her to kneel down when she enters the house."
When Niu Dali heard what Niu Tiezhu said, he became even more determined to bring Liu Damei home.
"Okay, Dad will bring home a woman younger and prettier than your mom in a few days, and make her mad!"
