Chapter 177 Mother, I Want a Divorce

After Su Mo left, she went to the kitchen to help Li Yue'e, while Lu Changzheng went to the main hall to chat and beat Yang Jingming.

Lu Xiaolan cut two pounds of fresh meat and brought it back. Li Yue'e chopped some to make dumplings and the rest to make braised pork.

There was still some mutton bought when the pig was slaughtered, and the mutton soup was also stewed early in the morning. I also made a big bone stew with pickled cabbage, and went to Su Mo to pick fresh vegetables and stir-fried two plates, and steamed two large pots of white rice.

It was a good meal to entertain the daughter and aunt.

After lunch, Yang Jingming used the excuse that his sister and brother-in-law had returned home and he went back to entertain them, and then he left in a hurry.

In fact, the look in his eyes when his third uncle looked at him was as if he was holding a knife, and he really couldn't bear it.

Lu Xiaolan said that she wanted to stay at her mother's house for one night and didn't go back with them.

In fact, Lu Changzheng had something else to do in the army, so he came back at noon on purpose. Seeing that everyone had left, he also went back to the army.

Lu Xingjun and Lu Weiguo were also thinking that there would be a new aunt coming this year, so they had dinner at Yue's house and hurried back. When they came back, they found that their brother-in-law had left earlier than them.

"Dad, why did Jingming leave so early?" Lu Weiguo was a little puzzled, because he came back immediately after dinner.

Did they have a quarrel?

"He said that his sister and brother-in-law were back, so we went back to entertain them." Lu Qing'an's tone was not very good.

This new aunt came back to her mother's house for the first year, and she left in a hurry after lunch. If you didn't know, you would think that they didn't entertain her well enough.

"Where's your wife? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

"Oh, her fourth sister and her husband are back too. They're chatting there. They said they'd be back soon. I didn't expect Jingming to come back so early."

"How do you think your brother-in-law is doing? Can he stand on his own feet?" Lu Qing'an was the party secretary, and he had to pay some attention to the members of the brigade.

"He seems OK. He can cook and clean the house. He said he'd sign up to work on the roads after the New Year."

Lu Weiguo had never expected the change in Lu Fubao. So, he still had to study. No matter how bad a person who has been to school is, he's not that bad.

Lu Qing'an nodded. He was naturally happy that the brigade had one more progressive young man.

"If he can stand on his own feet, you two should help him more."

The help Lu Qing'an meant was to keep an eye on him more. There are still some second-rate people in the brigade. With Lu Fubao's background, he will definitely be bullied. With Lu Weiguo watching, they dare not do too much.

Lu Weiguo nodded, "Dad, I know."

In the afternoon, Lu Xiaolan and Li Yue'e went to Su Mo's place together. The three of them sat on the kang to eat snacks and chat.

Li Yue'e always felt that Lu Xiaolan seemed to be full of worries, and she was a little worried: "Girl, are you hiding something from mother?"

Lu Xiaolan hesitated to speak, and finally said, "Mom, if I want a divorce, will you support me?"

Li Yue'e was almost choked to death by the chestnuts she had just eaten. Su Mo patted her for a long time before she calmed down.

"Why? What did that old hag do to you again? Mother will tear her apart now." Li Yue'e said and was about to get off the kang.

Lu Xiaolan grabbed him and said, "Mom, no, she has been very good to me recently. I want a divorce myself."

"Why? Did Jingming let you down?"

"No." Lu Xiaolan started crying.

This scared Li Yue'e, and she hugged Lu Xiaolan and comforted her, "Don't cry, tell me if you have been wronged. If I don't stand up, your third brother and his wife are still here."

Lu Xiaolan calmed down and said, "Mom, that family is not a good one."

Lu Xiaolan told the two about the change in the attitude of her parents-in-law after Lu Changzheng helped Yang Jingming, and the attitude of her parents-in-law after the incident at her eldest sister-in-law's house.

"Mom, you said they are so selfish and mean. Now that they think that my third brother can help, they praise me. If one day my third brother can't help them, I'm afraid they will turn hostile immediately."

Li Yue'e was silent after hearing this.

After a while, she said, "My dear, marriage is not a joke. No one is good in all aspects. As long as the big aspects are not bad, life can go on."

In the concept of Li Yue'e's generation, unless life is really unbearable, it will not be easy to divorce.

Now the other party has done nothing wrong. Although he has calculated a little, he has not done anything. Li Yue'e does not agree with divorce.

"Mom, I'm afraid they will implicate my third brother in the future." Lu Xiaolan said.

Li Yue'e waved her hands, "Your third brother is not a fool, how could he be implicated so easily?"

"They are treating you well now, just live your life steadily, with your third brother around, they dare not do anything to you."

Lu Xiaolan was silent.

"At first, my parents didn't particularly agree, it was you who decided to get married. It's been less than a year, and you said you want a divorce, how can you be so frivolous?"

"Just live your life first, and then talk about it when you really feel you can't live anymore. It's rare to be confused in life, don't see everything too clearly." Li Yue'e said.

Su Mo frowned, she didn't particularly agree. Since she has seen the true face of this family, it's better to make a decisive decision and divorce.

But she can't divorce now, she has to find a suitable excuse.

Otherwise, if they treat you well now and you suddenly want a divorce, people will make up any excuses to damage Lu Xiaolan's reputation. Maybe

then, they will throw dirty water on Lu Changzheng, saying that Lu Xiaolan looks down on them because her brother got promoted, and label her as a snobbish.

Lu Xiaolan replied bitterly, "Okay." Who told her to be blind at the time.

Su Mo didn't say anything. Since no one asked her, she couldn't express her opinion. What's more, her opinion was the opposite of her mother-in-law.

At night, Lu Xiaolan slept next to Su Mo. Because she had something on her mind, she kept tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep.

After a long time, Lu Xiaolan asked, "Third sister-in-law, are you asleep?"

"No." Su Mo replied.

"If you were me, what would you do?"

"I would probably choose to divorce like you, but not right now."

Seeing that Su Mo thought the same as she did, Lu Xiaolan's heart relaxed.

"Xiaolan, have you considered what would happen after divorce? You have to imagine the worst-case scenario and see if you can bear it."

Su Mo was also worried that Lu Xiaolan was just thinking about divorce on impulse and would regret it later, so she had to analyze the situation with her.

"I've thought about it, but it's just some criticism, which I can tolerate."

"I'm just worried that it will affect my family, my father's work, and my niece's marriage." Having a divorced daughter, the father is probably ashamed.
