After a moment's pause, Qi Zhijun asked, "Where exactly does patriotism lie?"
Wei Shuqing didn't even look up, saying while eating, "Get out of my house right now, or I'll have to call for help!"
Qi Zhijun, panting heavily, exclaimed, "This is my home too!"
Wei Shuqing laughed angrily, "How dare you say that? 'Your house' has nothing to do with you. This is my house now! If you keep arguing with me, I'll go to your workplace and tell your boss about your trespassing! Qi Zhijun, haven't you always touted yourself as a respectable person? Respectable people don't just talk the talk!" She then picked up a chicken leg and took a big bite. It was fragrant, smooth, and delicious—no wonder Zhao Dahu made it.
Qi Zhijun sat to the side, annoyed, watching Wei Shuqing eat her meal at a leisurely pace. Her stomach growled uncontrollably. She thought back to how Wei Shuqing always gave her the best food, working all day and then coming home to take care of the children and herself. She was always busy and had never had such a leisurely meal before.
After coughing awkwardly a few times, Wei Shuqing finished her food, took the lunchbox away, sat on the kettle, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said impatiently, "What exactly do you want?"
Qi Zhijun immediately felt a little guilty and said, "I need to see Aiguo. He's still so young; he can't be without his father for long..."
Wei Shuqing chuckled and said, "It's been more than half a year since the divorce, and now you're thinking about Aiguo? If you're not blind, please look at the bed, the thermos, and the towels on the washbasin stand. Can't you see the big red wedding decorations? Let me tell you myself, I'm married now. Aiguo has a new father, and his new grandparents treat him very well. He's the apple of everyone's eye."
Qi Zhijun stared at Wei Shuqing with wide eyes in disbelief, and said with difficulty, "What do you mean? You're living in our Qi family's house with another man, and you even made my son call someone else 'Dad'! How dare you, Wei Shuqing?!"
Wei Shuqing couldn't help but feel pathetic for herself. How could she have been so blind to fall for such a heartless scoundrel? But her smile grew even brighter. "This house doesn't belong to the Qi family, it belongs to me, Wei Shuqing! My son and I are living a wonderful life! You see, we're well-fed, warmly clothed, and cared for with love and consideration! So, can't you, this supposedly respectable person, leave my house with some dignity? Otherwise, our boss might be unhappy when he comes back!"
Qi Zhijun's face turned ashen as he pointed at Wei Shuqing, speechless. He simply couldn't believe that the woman who had his heart and soul devoted to him would dare to remarry.
He had left so resolutely, leaving the house and son to her, because he had always been deluded with the belief that Wei Shuqing wouldn't remarry, and that this poor woman would raise her child and live out her life in this house. But now that he realized everything had gone awry, he couldn't help but feel panicked.
Then she blurted out what was on her mind: "How dare you remarry? Shouldn't you be staying in this house with the children for the rest of your life? How dare you?"
Wei Shuqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why can't I remarry? Didn't you also find a Xiao Cui?" She didn't want to provoke him, but he insisted on doing so, so she couldn't blame herself. "Let me guess why you two haven't gotten married in over half a year? Is it because her salary isn't enough for that bloodsucking family of yours to spend?"
Qi Zhijun snorted and said, "You're still as sharp-tongued and mean as ever!"
Wei Shuqing pursed her lips and rolled her eyes. "Isn't that right? Look how skinny you are, your family must be struggling, right? What kind of teacher is that Cui? Her salary isn't even enough to feed herself. Are you complaining that she can't support your family, or is she complaining that your salary can't afford her bourgeois lifestyle? You can't be the one who's remained chaste for me, can you? I don't believe it!"
She looked at Qi Zhijun with a wary expression, which was a great insult to him. However, he didn't know that the woman in front of him was thinking about something else. "In a few years, when the 'Four Olds' are destroyed, if it's like in the book, Qi Zhijun will marry that stinking intellectual Cui early, and with Qi Zhifang hooking up with that ticket scalper, their family will be truly pitiful! Bah, bah, bah, this is karma. If you want to harm someone, you'll have a son like Qi Zhijun who marries a wife, and then that wife is finished. If you want to harm a whole family, you'll have a daughter like Qi Zhifang who gets married, and then that family is finished. This isn't a human being, it's a jinx!"
Thinking of this, I rubbed my arms and prayed, "God bless me, Buddha bless me, Chairman Mao bless me! I must have done something incredibly good in my past life to be able to leave this family in this life. The person in the book who didn't leave this family must have dug up their ancestral graves in their past life."
Qi Zhijun, enraged, shouted, "Bring Aiguo back to me! I'm bringing him back to the Qi family! You can keep this house and live with that bastard!"
Wei Shuqing was furious this time and cursed, "Qi Zhijun, you son of a bitch, get out of here! I'm giving you face and you don't know what's good for you. Do you have to force me to curse you? When we divorced, you son of a bitch said you didn't want the child, wouldn't pay child support, and would sever all ties. Now what kind of loving father are you pretending to be, going back to your Qi family? How dare you say that?"
Saying this, she took out a photo of Aiguo taken a few days ago from the drawer, pointed at Aiguo in the photo, and said to Qi Zhijun, "Open your dog eyes and look! My son is now chubby and healthy, and his clothes are clean. How dare you say that to your Qi family? Have you no shame?! Get out of here right now, or I'll call the police, and we'll go to the police station to reason with them! A grown man like you can't even support his wife and child. If I were you, I'd just bury my head in my pants and die of shame! And you still have the nerve to come and ask me for my child! How dare you! Get out... get out..."
As he spoke, he pushed and shoved Qi Zhijun outside, then locked the door from the inside in one swift motion, panting heavily with anger.
Qi Zhijun couldn't bring himself to bang on the door and shout, and he was too hungry to stand it any longer, so he had to go back first.
