Ling Qingyao seemed to have forgotten how to walk, and was being pulled along mechanically by her younger brother.
Before the disaster, Ling Qingyang was a high school student. After the disaster, Ling Liyuan tutored him in college-level architecture courses.
He inherited Ling Liyuan's talent, learned quickly, and combined theory with practice. He is currently also involved in the base construction work.
Ling Qingyang had just gotten off work today when his sister dragged him to persuade their grandmother to look at houses.
He knew his sister was determined to get the house back, but their father wouldn't give it to her. His father was now willing to give everything to make up for his daughter, whom he had only recently found out about.
They even stopped giving him and his sister points every month, forcing them to become self-reliant from then on.
This is understandable, because her father had not fulfilled his responsibility to raise her, and moreover, it was the child of the woman he owed so much to.
Ling Qingyang didn't care, because he had a considerable monthly salary and points income, which he couldn't even spend himself.
But my older sister is different. She doesn't want to work and has no personal income, so she can only rely on her grandmother's secret charity in the future.
Today, she couldn't swallow her anger and insisted on dragging him along.
He agreed because he also wanted to see who this sister he had never met was.
It's astonishing that Lu Yu, a man from a wealthy and capable family who has always been a womanizer, would pursue her relentlessly.
It can also help prevent my older sister from doing anything rash, so as to avoid irreversible consequences.
The three of them sat in the living room. It took Grandma Ling a long time to catch her breath before she could finally calm herself down.
During this period, Kang Shi was away, and Ling Liyuan was arguing with her about divorce. In a fit of anger, Kang Shi went back to her parents' home.
Just then, Ling Liyuan returned home from get off work. As soon as Old Madam Ling saw him, the anger she had just suppressed flared up again.
Ling Qingyao quickly tried to soothe her, "Grandma, don't be angry, don't be angry. If she doesn't want to acknowledge us, that's fine. Qingyang and I are here with you."
In fact, Ling Qingyao is quite cunning, but her brain short-circuits whenever she encounters Lu Yu.
Mr. Ling: "What's wrong with you now?"
Madam Ling glanced at her son and turned her face away.
Mr. Ling was tired after a long day at work. Since his mother didn't want to talk about it, he wasn't interested in knowing either, so he turned around and continued walking.
"Liyuan, are you really not going to care whether I live or die?"
Mr. Ling stopped when he heard the sound.
Didn't I care about you?
The room was bright and clean. I sat on the sofa with tea and snacks in front of me.
Isn't all of this what I gave you? What more do you want?
In this apocalyptic world, if you can't survive under these conditions, then there aren't many survivors left outside.
I said, "Mom, can you please stop causing trouble? I've had a long day at work, can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?"
Madam Ling was so angry that she was panting heavily, but she couldn't refute him because what he said was true.
Ling Qingyao cried, "Grandma went to see Bai Shuang today, but she ignored Grandma completely."
Mr. Ling: "Go see Shuangshuang? If I'm not mistaken, you went to cause trouble, didn't you?"
She doesn't even know you, so why should she pay attention to you?
Others might appreciate your bossy attitude, but she never will.
Ling Liyuan knows his mother very well.
Grandma Ling said, "Liyuan, your mother is old and can't do much. Whatever you say goes, and I won't argue with you."
However, I want to say that you raised these two children yourself, and you have a deep bond with them. When you get old, they are the only ones you can rely on.
No matter how good or outstanding your daughter is, you can't rely on her; she won't support you.
So, you should take things easy and not go too far.
Grandma Ling's implication was that even if you gave her such a nice house, she wouldn't care about you; it would be better to give it to the child you raised from a young age.
I'm willing to give it to her.
As for when I get old, I didn't raise that child, so why should she take care of me?
Natural disasters are frequent, and it's uncertain when or who will die. Why should children be expected to take care of them? That's utterly absurd!
Now, all I want to do for the rest of my life is to make amends to that child, so that when I go to the afterlife, I can have some peace of mind with her mother.
The appearance of Bai Shuang stirred up Ling Liyuan's deep guilt towards Bai Shiyan. From now on, he would only live for this child.
As for his current family, the two children are adults and have fulfilled their obligations. His mother only needs to provide living expenses each month.
As for Kang, if she behaves herself, he will continue to support her, but the problem is, that's simply impossible.
Let's get a divorce then. From now on, you're free to marry and have no say in life or death.
The day before Bai Shuang's wedding, Ling Liyuan and Kang Shi completed their divorce proceedings through the base's civil affairs office.
At first, Ling Liyuan proposed a divorce, but Kang refused to agree no matter what.
Madam Ling hasn't done enough yet.
She also relied on Ling Liyuan's status and position in the base to be high above the other ladies, and wherever she went, she was addressed with respect and even acted arrogantly.
Even when she arrived at her parents' home, her brother and sister-in-law, who needed Ling Liyuan, treated her with great hospitality.
But now, is all of this going to leave me?
But later, Ling Liyuan cut off all her sources of income, and she could only rely on her previous savings.
When she went to her parents' home, her brother and sister-in-law also looked down on her for being incompetent. They said that she had two children and had been together for twenty years, but she still couldn't win over Ling Liyuan's heart.
After learning that they were getting a divorce, Old Mrs. Ling and Ling Qingyao tried their best to stop them.
The old lady, in particular, used almost every trick in the book to pressure her son again.
"If you get a divorce, I'll kill myself right here in front of you."
