After all, Old Lady Xie was old, and she was out of breath after chasing Xie Jinghu for a while. Seeing that the time was almost right, Hou Zhixiu quickly helped the old lady sit down.
The old lady's last few blows landed on Xie Jinghu's head, but the first one landed squarely on his face, leaving him burning. The Xie family didn't have a habit of spanking their children. Xie Jinghu was a successful businessman, respected and fawned over by everyone, and he'd never been slapped in the face. This was like being hit by your own mother, unable to fight back. At that moment, Xie had clearly forgotten the dark experience of being knocked to the ground by Song Foxiang's unethical attack.
Xie Jinghu couldn't blame his mother for being beaten. The culprit was Zou Weijun. He looked up at Zou Weijun, whose face showed no sadness or joy, and was as solemn and dignified as a white jade Guanyin.
What man would be willing to marry a Guanyin? Zou Weijun's indifferent expression chilled Xie Jinghu's heart, and he spoke even more recklessly: "Are you satisfied with watching me get beaten?"
Zou Weijun raised his eyelids. "For what you did, don't you deserve a beating? I'm not satisfied at all. I even think Mom's beating was too late and too light!"
As soon as these words were spoken, both Old Lady Xie and she felt as if they had been slapped in the face.
Hou Zhixiu was surprised.
After not seeing you for two years, my sister-in-law Zou Weijun seems like a completely different person.
Although what he said was unpleasant, it was the truth. The third brother, Xie Jinghu, really seemed to have been beaten too much when he was a child and that's why he grew up to be such a bastard.
These are the truths that Zou Weijun would never have said in the past. Zou Weijun is very tolerant and well-educated. He would rather suffer injustice himself than embarrass others. Now he speaks without any taboos!
Actually, this is quite good.
As a woman, you either endure or you are cruel. There is nothing wrong with being tolerant and well-mannered, but it also depends on whether the other party is worth it. Hou Zhixiu quite likes the changes in Zou Weijun.
With this thought in mind, Hou Zhixiu became even more biased. She helped the embarrassed Mrs. Xie sit down and advised her not to worry: "If the abscess is not removed, it will continue to hurt. We want Wei Jun and the third brother to live a good life, so we have to let Wei Jun vent his dissatisfaction. The one who did something wrong is the third brother. Let's take this opportunity today to listen to Wei Jun's thoughts."
These words really touched Mrs. Xie's heart.
The old lady was actually not afraid of Zou Weijun and Xie Jinghu quarreling.
Between husband and wife, quarreling is also a form of communication. Quarreling is like picking an abscess. The process will be very painful and disgusting, but if you don’t pick it because you are afraid of pain and disgust, the abscess will never heal!
Zou Weijun was still willing to quarrel with Xie Jinghu. In the old lady's opinion, she was willing to give Xie Jinghu a chance. A woman who was completely heartbroken about her husband would not even have the heart to quarrel.
"Wei Jun, just speak up. Your sister-in-law and I are listening. Tell us what you think and we'll make the decision for you."
Zou Weijun just listened to Mrs. Xie's assurance.
No matter how good a mother-in-law is to her daughter-in-law, she can never be better than her son. The old lady upholds justice so that the marriage between Zou Weijun and Xie Jinghu can continue and her grandson Xie Qian can have a complete family. Once Zou Weijun bluntly expresses his true intention of divorce, the old lady will be the first to change her position.
This is the Xie family, and her surname is Zou. Who will truly care about her?
Perhaps only Hou Zhixiu, the eldest sister-in-law who also married into the Xie family, could empathize with her experience and sympathize with her!
Zou Weijun was more clear-headed than ever. This clarity allowed her to suppress her fear and anger, as well as her expectations of pinning her hopes on others. She could only rely on herself, and she returned to the Xie family to fight.
Since it is a battle, we must pay attention to strategies and policies.
Zou Weijun sat down next to Old Lady Xie again, his voice sad: "Mom, I really don't know how to go on with my life. Separation is the best way I can think of. I can give up this marriage, but I can't be so selfish as not to consider Xie Qian. I divorced him and took him away to separate him from everyone in the Xie family. You really love Xie Qian, and everyone in the family treats him very well. Letting Xie Qian leave the Xie family is a hurt that no one can bear."
Mrs. Xie, who had been strong all her life, had tears in her eyes:
"We can't bear to part with Xie Qian, nor can we bear to part with you. With you, the Xie family is complete. Without any of you, the Xie family will be incomplete."
Xie Jinghu tried to interrupt several times, but Hou Zhixiu kept giving him signals.
A dog can't spit out ivory. It's not Xie Jinghu's turn to speak now. If he speaks, he will ruin the atmosphere!
After the old lady calmed down a bit, Zou Weijun continued, "I can also choose to leave by myself and leave Xie Qian in the Xie family, but I am worried. What mother would be willing to abandon her child unless she has no other choice? I know that everyone in the family treats Xie Qian well, but no one, whether it is my eldest brother and sister-in-law or you, can take care of Xie Qian for me all the time. In a place where you can't take care of him, Xie Qian will inevitably be wronged and bullied. I brought this child into the world, not for him to suffer. I have the responsibility to take care of him and protect him!"
Every word Zou Weijun said struck the hearts of Old Lady Xie and Hou Zhixiu.
Few men can empathize with women on this point. Women go through ten months of hard work in pregnancy and breastfeeding, and their feelings towards their children are completely different.
Mrs. Xie could definitely empathize.
As a young widow, the organization tried to introduce a man to Mrs. Xie many times. They had good intentions to help Mrs. Xie share the burden of raising the children, but the old lady thought that people’s hearts are hidden, and she was afraid that her four sons would suffer, so she gritted her teeth and raised the children alone.
That's the responsibility of being a mother.
A child with a mother is a treasure, a child without a mother is weed.
Zou Weijun was afraid that Xie Qian would be bullied because she was worried that after the divorce, another woman would make room for him. Someone else would become "Mrs. Xie San" and bring their own children with them, and Xie Qian would gradually be marginalized...
Old Mrs. Xie kept saying that the Xie family had let Zou Weijun down, and repeatedly emphasized that she only recognized Xie Qian as her grandson. Xie Jinghu felt very aggrieved when he heard that.
Who made that rebellious son suffer bullying and injustice?
Xie Jinghu still feels aggrieved!
It was obviously that rebellious son who had been draining him, bullying him, and making him suffer!
Zou Weijun took advantage of the situation and gave Mrs. Xie some peace of mind: "In order to give Xie Qian a complete family and to protect him, I will not divorce."
——At least not divorce now.
When Zou Weijun said this, not only was Mrs. Xie relieved, but even Xie Jinghu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he just insisted on saying that he was going to go and handle the paperwork, if Zou Weijun really filed for divorce, Xie Jinghu would have a headache!
As long as Zou Weijun didn't divorce, Xie Jinghu would have the initiative. Who knew that his happiness would last only three seconds? Old Mrs. Xie asked Zou Weijun what she thought: "Weijun, there are ways to live without divorce. You can't always stay in Chengdu."
Xie Jinghu thought Zou Weijun would refute, but Zou Weijun actually nodded in agreement with the old lady and said:
"You're right. I've decided to quit my job at the publishing house and return to Beijing. Jinhu is our family business, so it should be okay for me to work there, right?"
