Returning to the small courtyard, she found Wang Dong still hadn't come back, so she had no choice but to shamelessly enter the side room. A moment later, she saw Li Qiuxiang stride forward, with Wang Dong following behind like a wronged little wife. Despite her fear, she still went out to greet Li Qiuxiang, "Sister-in-law, you're back!"
"Don't call me, I think you're bad luck. Wang Dong, hurry up and take your things and get out of here. In a few days, when the neighborhood committee starts work, we'll get a divorce." Li Qiuxiang didn't even spare a glance for the brother and sister.
Wang Dong winked at Wang Hong, signaling her to go into the side room, and secretly slipped her two steamed buns. Then he followed Li Qiuxiang back into the house, and Wang Hong went back inside with her head down. Meanwhile, Wang Dong knelt down as soon as he entered the room.
Li Qiuxiang sat on the bed and started eating sunflower seeds. "Don't force me to do anything, just get out of here!"
"Qiu Xiang, don't be like this. I know I was wrong. Don't worry, starting today, I'll cut ties with them. If I bump into them on the street, I'll spit on them and walk around them." Wang Dong didn't care about dignity anymore. Seeing Qi Zhijun's fate, he knew that if he divorced Li Qiu Xiang, his fate would definitely not be better than Qi Zhijun's. This wasn't just a wife or a mother; she was her lifeline.
Li Qiuxiang sneered, "You bring back this tattered, worn-out shoe to disgust me during the New Year, ignoring everything I said, and you expect me to forgive you? Are you naive, or am I stupid?"
He crawled a few steps over and hugged Li Qiuxiang's leg, burying his head in her lap and crying, "Qiuxiang, I can't leave you! Please! I really won't do it again! Please forgive me this once, and I'll be your slave from now on, and you can hit me or scold me as you please."
Looking at this useless man, Li Qiuxiang became increasingly annoyed. She was just a woman; who wouldn't want to find a man like the "Big Brother" to rely on? Yet, she felt like she was living the life of the "Big Brother."
While she was hesitating, Wang Dong knocked her down. This lecherous devil actually forgot to be angry. No wonder they say that couples fight in bed and make up before they get out of bed. If outsiders don't interfere, there's nothing a couple can't resolve, except for domestic violence, of course. To completely exhaust Li Qiuxiang's energy to think about this matter, Wang Dong almost died from exhaustion.
Hearing the commotion inside the house, Wang Hong blushed deeply. She realized that she and her brother had temporarily gotten past this hurdle, and secretly vowed never to have anything to do with that unfortunate mother and daughter again.
The couple slept until dark. Wang Hong used the last of her money to buy three catties of mutton dumplings. When the two of them got up and tried to appease Li Qiuxiang, Li Qiuxiang, with a gloomy face, picked up dumplings from the lunchbox and said at the table, "You two listen to me carefully. This is the last time. If I find out that you still have anything to do with that family, don't blame me for being impolite."
The brother and sister nodded repeatedly, knowing there would be no next time. They handed the lunchbox to Wang Hong and said, "Take this to Grandma and pick up the fat guy while you're at it. Oh, and bring ten vegetable buns too. Just say I asked you to."
Wang Hong quickly took it and ran off. When Wang Hong returned carrying the chubby boy and the steamed buns, the family finally had a meal. Li Qiuxiang spoiled the chubby boy when necessary and disciplined him when necessary. After eating eight dumplings, she gave him some vegetable steamed buns, and the little chubby boy immediately ate two more. When only the skin was left, Li Qiuxiang took it and stuffed it into her own mouth.
That night, Wang Hong took the chubby man to bed, and Li Qiuxiang began her husband-lecturing spree again—this time it was a real lesson, she scolded him until midnight, then calculated the time, and finally fell asleep. These past few days, Wang Hong was in charge of taking care of the child and feeding him, while Wang Dong was responsible for looking after Li Qiuxiang; the New Year was a chaotic affair.
However, things weren't going well for the Wei family either. Wei Xigun forced Wei Erni to either break up with Li Jianshe or return her job to Liu Taohua and go back to the countryside to farm.
Seeing that Wei Erni remained silent, Wei's mother finally said with tears in her eyes, "Forget it, Erni, don't blame your parents for being heartless. If you stay in the city like this, something bad will happen to you sooner or later. Come back with Grandma and farm the land. Grandma will stay with you!"
Wei Xigun was about to raise his hand again when Liu Taohua stopped him, looking at Wei Erni with a mixture of disappointment and anger. "Erni, if you still insist on staying with that person, then go back!"
Wei Erni wasn't afraid of returning to her hometown to farm; it was just that her first love was like fireworks, dazzling and beautiful. But thinking about how her mother had been hospitalized due to the stress, how her sister had almost miscarried from the stress, and how her brother-in-law hadn't even visited during the New Year, she hardened her heart and said, "I'm breaking up with him." She then burst into tears. Xiao Chi was a good person, but he was shorter than Jiang Zhen and not good-looking. She couldn't bear it any longer and thought about talking to Aiguo, but Aiguo hadn't come over since the New Year. She also vaguely understood that her aunt was also angry with her family and wasn't letting anyone come.
I finally managed to find some free time that day to go find Aiguo. It just so happened that I had just arrived at the door and hadn't even gone in when I saw Aiguo riding his bicycle and about to run away!
"Aiguo!" Zhao Aiguo turned around at the sound and said, "Sister Erni, what brings you here?"
Wei Erni looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?" Zhao Aiguo stopped the car and said, "To go ice skating! I finally have a day off, and I'm thinking of playing for a couple more days before I have to go back to work! Sister Erni, is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing her hesitant expression, Zhao Aiguo parked the car and asked, "What's wrong? Are you looking for my mom or my dad?"
Wei Erni shook her head and said, "I'm looking for you!" Zhao Aiguo touched the only one yuan left in his pocket, sighed, and said, "Alright, get in the car, I'll take you somewhere."
They found a place to drink mutton soup and ordered two bowls. One for each of them, they sat down in a quiet corner. Zhao Aiguo added a lot of scallions, cilantro, and chili oil to his soup and asked, "What do you want?"
Wei Erni hesitated for a moment before saying, "Aiguo, you must have heard about my story too!"
Zhao Aiguo was craving mutton soup and baked flatbread, but he only had four cents left in his pocket, and he needed to save some for ice skating and soda. After hesitating for a while, Wei Erni assumed his silence meant he was disappointed in her, so she said, "You also think I shouldn't have chosen Li Jianshe, right?"
