As expected, as soon as Zou Yitao and the others left, Lin Chen and Zhong Xinya couldn't help it anymore, and the embarrassed expressions on their faces were exactly the same.
Lin Qingfeng's expression was very calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
After a long while, Lin Chen spoke awkwardly, "Back then, that beast Zou Kai held a grudge... and took it all out on Taotao. He was just a little guy, beaten all over, and he wasn't even given anything to eat... It was only later that Taotao couldn't survive anymore, so he came to us.
Regardless of his parents' behavior, at least the child was innocent, and we couldn't bear to see him go. That's why we adopted him. After Zou Kai's accidental death, we simply transferred his household registration here, placing it directly under Xiaoya and me...
In other words, Taotao is now, in fact, our son in name only. Since the government later advocated having only one child, we thought this was fine. We already had Yuchu, and we were raising Taotao as our own son, so it wasn't a big deal; we had both a son and a daughter.
But who would have thought that my mother overheard our small talk and insisted that Taotao was blocking her grandson's path and that we move Taotao out..."
Lin Yanbai was speechless. This was indeed something Liu Mei could do.
Even if Zou Yitao moved out, Lin Chen and Zhong Xinya already had Lin Yuchu, so they couldn't have any more children. Liu Mei understood this principle perfectly, but she still held her breath and insisted on moving Zou Yitao out.
It’s just... very confusing. I don’t know what she is jumping around for. Maybe she is trying to find some sense of existence!
"So what do you think..."
Lin Chen looked worried, but Zhong Xinya was determined. "Needless to say, in my heart, Taotao is my own son. Why should she move him in? I'm making this clear today: Taotao must not move out!"
At this moment, Liu Mei, who had been eavesdropping in the kitchen, could no longer hold back and strode out, her voice no less loud: "Why? Because his last name is Zou and ours is Lin. Why does he, a bastard with an unknown father, take the position of the eldest grandson of our Lin family?"
Everyone present began to doubt their ears. After so many years of living together, even if they raised a kitten or a puppy, they would have feelings for it, let alone a living person?
Moreover, this person is the only blood relative left by Liu Mei's most beloved daughter, whom she always claims to be her only blood relative.
I thought the bones were still connected to the tendons! But now in Liu Mei's mouth, he has become a... bastard with an unknown father?
Not to mention Lin Chen and the others who were getting angry after hearing this, even Lin Qingfeng who was standing by couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing that Liu Mei was about to say something shocking, Lin Qingfeng shouted:
"Shut up! Are you talking like a human being? Taotao has lived in our family for so many years, and we treat him as a family member! Sometimes I really doubt whether you, Liu Mei, are a human or a ghost. You can say such heartless words!"
After yelling, Lin Qingfeng looked like he had aged ten years and quickly hunched over. Perhaps he had really done something wrong over the years.
"It was me who asked Lin Chen to call you here today..."
Lin Qingfeng's almost inaudible voice was heard again in the silent house. Liu Mei suddenly had a bad premonition and looked at Lin Qingfeng in horror.
"These days, I've been thinking that maybe I should have divorced you a long time ago!"
Liu Mei couldn't believe her ears. What did he say? Divorce?
"Ah—Lin Qingfeng, you have lost your conscience. For so many years, I have given birth to children for you and taken care of the household affairs, and in the end, you want to divorce me?"
At this moment, she finally felt a little scared.
No one knew her partner better than her, and she knew that Lin Qingfeng was not joking.
Lin Qingfeng didn't evade. He raised his head, met her hysterical gaze, and said word by word, "That's right, divorce. Hasn't your mess messed up our Lin family enough over the years? It's a pity that I only now truly understand the principle of marrying a virtuous wife!"
When you were young, you tormented Yan Bai and spoiled Lin Wan to the point of being ignorant of the heavens and the earth. Later, you used all kinds of means to torment your daughter-in-law. Now you hate your grandson and want to kick a child out of the house... I really don't know, in your heart, Liu Mei, what is worth caring about?"
Liu Mei's eyes were vacant, and she opened her mouth, but no words came out. As early as when she realized that Lin Qingfeng was not joking, her mind had gone blank.
Yes, what could she refute? Lin Qingfeng said, every single thing, was it true that he had wronged her?
Lin Chen's toes moved slightly. He wanted to go up and persuade his father, but was stopped by Zhong Xinya.
Anyone can see that Lin Qingfeng is very determined to divorce. Perhaps he has had this idea for a long time, but has been enduring it.
This time, Liu Mei's unreasonable and ruthless demands became the last straw that broke the camel's back, forcing Lin Qingfeng to finally make up his mind to divorce her.
Lin Yanbai, who watched the whole process from the side, had any thoughts at the moment, it was probably that she just wanted to go out and set off two strings of firecrackers!
She said that if Liu Mei continued to act like this, she would get herself into trouble sooner or later.
Zou Yitao didn't provoke her and didn't pay any attention to her. If you move her household registration out, you won't be able to have a grandson. Why did you do this?
Besides, where did she want Zou Yitao to go? Where could Zou Yitao go? Aside from Zou Kai, wasn't the rest of the Zou family wiped out by her eldest son?
Besides, it would be fine if Zou Yitao was really a member of the Zou family, but he is not. In this world, I am afraid that only the Lin family will accept him.
Liu Mei's behavior now leaves no way for the child to survive. No wonder Lin Qingfeng has completely decided to divorce her.
Seeing that the only person who spoke for her did not take any action for a long time, Liu Mei's heart instantly turned cold. Why was her life so miserable?
It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Liu Mei forced herself to remain calm and said, "You can't divorce me... Yes, Lin Qingfeng, you can't divorce me. You have to, you have to consider our Yan Bai. She has a bright future. She can't have divorced parents. It will become a stain on her!"
There was indeed a flicker of hesitation on Lin Qingfeng's face. It must be said that when it comes to grasping people's minds, Liu Mei is still the best.
Lin Yanbai, who was happily watching the show on the side, said: "..." Bah, what bad luck!
She looked down on her, yet she would drag her out for a stroll whenever she had nothing to do, and would use her as a raft at every turn. Lin Yanbai really wanted to spit at her.
"Don't worry, Mom, don't use me as a scapegoat. It's a different era now, and there are so many divorces. I don't care about couples like you. Maybe I'll even praise you for your high level of awareness later on..."
