Yang Yi left with a pale face in the end, but in the afternoon, when Lin Wei had just finished teaching the children, she came over again and asked with red eyes: "Weiwei, can we talk again?"
Lin Wei paused after hearing this, then turned her head and asked Chen Bamei, who was waiting for the children to finish class, "Can you help take them out to play for a while?"
Chen Bamei knew that they had something to talk about, so she immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll take them out." She called the three children to go out.
Ruirui and Xiao Shitou got up as soon as Chen Bamei called them, but they were obviously a little gossipy and seeing Yang Yi's red eyes, they wanted to stay and listen to what happened, so they were a little slow to get up.
But his little trick did not escape Lin Wei's eyes. She reached out and gave her son a chestnut and asked, "Don't you want to go out and play? Do you want to stay at home?"
Mingming was particularly eager to study today. He said awkwardly, "I haven't finished writing yet."
It was rare for her son to love studying, so how could Lin Wei dampen his enthusiasm? She smiled and said, "Since you want to write so much, then stay." She looked up and asked Yang Yi, "Shall we go for a walk?"
Yang Yi didn't care where they chatted, she just wanted a quiet environment, so she nodded and said, "It's all right."
After getting Yang Yi's consent, Lin Wei smiled at the dumbfounded Mingming: "Mom and Aunt Yang are going out for a transfer. You should study hard at home. I will check it when I come back. Got it?"
Mingming swallowed his saliva after his little plan went wrong, and said, "Mom, I suddenly want to go out and play again. Can I write later?"
"Of course—" Lin Wei deliberately dragged her voice, and waited until Mingming's eyes lit up before she said coldly, "No! There is only half a page left, and you must ensure that you finish writing it correctly before I come back. Otherwise, if you miss a word or make a mistake, you will be punished with a stick. Do you understand?"
After the two afternoon classes became fixed, Zong Shao took the time to make a small blackboard and brought back a box of chalk. Seeing this, Lin Wei asked him to act as a ruler to make things look more formal.
Although after the ruler was made, Lin Wei used it to point at the blackboard and it was never officially used, it was still very useful for intimidating little kids.
For example, now, I wanted to talk back, but when I saw my mother holding out the ruler, I became timid and said aggrievedly, "I know!"
After making arrangements for Mingming, Lin Wei went out with Yang Yi.
Because what they wanted to say was not easy for others to hear, the two of them did not go into the family area after they went out, but crossed the beach and walked along the coastline.
No one spoke in the first few minutes. Lin Wei was waiting, while Yang Yi was a little hesitant, not knowing how to start.
After hesitating for a long time, tears came out before voice.
Hearing Yang Yi crying, Lin Wei stopped, took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to her: "Here."
Yang Yi took the handkerchief, wiped away her tears, sniffed and said, "Weiwei, please help me come up with an idea. I really don't know what to do now."
"You are so clueless, how can I make a decision for you?" Lin Wei did not refuse, but she did not take on too much responsibility either. She asked, "First, tell me what happened during the half day you were back home."
"I came back from your house, and as soon as I got home my mother-in-law started scolding me again. I was angry, so I went back to my room. She went upstairs and knocked on my door, saying some nasty things, but I ignored her. When she got tired of scolding me and went downstairs, my uncle... Qi Tao's brother, came over and knocked on the door, saying that he heard what my mother-in-law said, and apologized to me, asking me not to mind."
Yang Yi lowered her head, looked at her shoes covered with sand, and said, "I thought about what you said to me, so I told him that I don't need him to apologize, I just hope he can say a few words for me when my mother-in-law says something about me."
"Then what?"
"His rhetoric hasn't changed. He said his mother is used to being the boss, so his words may not work." Yang Yi's voice choked up. "Weiwei, do you know? At that moment, I broke out in a cold sweat. For six years, from the time I married into their family to the time I followed the army, I took care of everything for him, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, and finding a job and marrying a wife. Usually, he always said that I was good to him and he would repay me in the future. In the end, he treated me like this?"
"When you married into the Qi family, he must have been quite old, right?"
Yang Yi nodded: "He was already fourteen years old at that time."
"That's it. Although the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, his biological mother was still alive when you married him, and you were already a half-grown child. It's not certain how much of what you did he would remember."
Lin Wei changed the subject and said comfortingly, "But you have a husband and children, so you don't need him to remember you. He's just your brother-in-law anyway. If you feel disappointed, you can just treat him like an ordinary relative or even ignore him. Isn't that up to you?"
"You're right. I have a husband and children. It doesn't matter whether he remembers my kindness or not." Yang Yi said, but she couldn't help biting her lip. "But do you think Qi Tao knew about this?"
"It's not difficult to find out whether he knows about this. The difficult part is what are you going to do after you find out?"
"You mean?"
"If he doesn't know, then everything is fine. Just ask him to find a way to send your mother-in-law and brother-in-law back to their hometown. Out of sight, out of mind. But if he knows but pretends not to know, then you need to think carefully about whether you want to live with this person in the future."
Yang Yi asked: "But if I don't live with him, who else can I live with?"
"You just married him, not sold yourself to him. If you can live together, then live together. If not, then divorce. The law allows divorce. As for who you will find to live with in the future, that's up to you. Even if you don't want to find someone else, you can live on your own. No one stipulates that women must find a man to live with."
As soon as Lin Wei finished speaking, Yang Yi shook her head and said, "Divorce? No way..."
In this era, in the minds of most people, marriage is for life, and divorce does not even exist in their thoughts.
Even Lin Wei herself was shocked when she first heard that someone's parents were divorced. It was only because the boy was so pitiful at the time that she tried hard to suppress her surprise and racked her brains to comfort him.
But Lin Wei was indeed shocked at the time, so even though many years had passed and she could no longer remember what the boy looked like, she still clearly remembered what he said and how she felt at the time.
In fact, Lin Wei finally digested this matter after the movement intensified. Many couples divorced or passively divorced because of their different positions and drew a line between the two. Only then did she realize that marriage is really not indestructible.
However, Lin Wei said this just to provide Yang Yi with another option, and she did not mean to force her to divorce. Therefore, seeing that she couldn't quite accept this, Lin Wei didn't continue talking, and only said: "If you still want to live with him, then I advise you not to delve into this matter any further, it's unnecessary."
Although she didn't delve into it too deeply, Yang Yi couldn't help feeling a thorn in her heart. But if she found out that the person sleeping next to her was a Zhongshan wolf, the love between the couple in the past would be just a dream. The thorn would not be removed, but would become thicker and more prickly. If Yang Yi still wanted to live with him, her life would become even more painful.
It's better to just let it go. Although life is confusing, at least I can get by with it.
Yang Yi understood what Lin Wei meant. Her shoulders slumped a little bit. In the end, she didn't decide whether to continue to investigate or give up completely. She just murmured, "I'll think about it again."
After saying that, she tried to cheer herself up and gave Lin Wei an ugly smile: "I'm sorry to bother you today. I've troubled you all day because of my affairs."
Lin Wei shook her head and said, "We are friends, let's not talk about this."
…
After returning home, Lin Wei first checked Mingming's homework. There were no missing words and no mistakes, but the handwriting was crooked and sometimes big and sometimes small. It was obvious that he didn't pay attention.
Looking at my mother's expression, I was obviously very nervous. I stretched my neck to look at my notebook, but as soon as I made the move, my mother stopped me with a look. Mingming didn't dare to move anymore. He pursed his lips and slowly sat back.
Lin Wei placed the notebook in front of Mingming, then picked up Ruirui's notebook from the old stool next to her, opened it and placed it in front of him: "Read it yourself."
Mingming said "oh", glanced at his own notebook, then looked at his brother's, then looked back again, and then looked back again. He repeated this process, and after reading both sides, he looked up and said, "I didn't write it wrong."
Lin Wei: "I'll show you the font."
Mingming said "oh" again and lowered his head to continue reading.
"Did you see anything?" Lin Wei asked.
Mingming said honestly: "My brother's handwriting is better than mine."
"Then what?"
"And then...and then..." Mingming scratched his head, unable to figure it out.
Lin Wei was helpless and asked, "Have you ever thought about learning from Ruirui and improving your handwriting?"
Mingming pointed at the writing book and said confidently: "I practiced and wrote so much." After that, he lost his momentum and continued to scratch his head and said, "I practiced but it's still the same. What can I do?"
Lin Wei: "...How about this, if you can write like Ruirui in the future, you can write half as many characters as you want, but if your characters are still so irregular, you can write as many characters as you want, how about that?"
Mingming's eyes lit up: "Really?"
He clearly thought that he had benefited from having half the homework, but in fact, she only assigned him half a page of words and ten math addition and subtraction problems every day. With his speed, minus the time he spent playing, he might not even have twenty minutes to actually do his homework.
On the contrary, if you write well, your speed will slow down accordingly. Although the amount of homework will be less, the increase and decrease will not necessarily shorten the time spent in the end. Even in the process of writing, he may have to concentrate more and spend more time.
Of course, Lin Wei would be happy if he could increase the speed while ensuring the quality.
So Lin Wei smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true."
"I will definitely write well in the future!" Mingming raised his hands happily and promised. After a while, he asked tentatively, "Then mom, can I go out and play now?"
Lin Wei put away their notebooks, tilted her head and said, "Go ahead."
…
After dinner, Zong Shao made a pot of tea, and Lin Wei cut a plate of mangoes and a plate of dragon fruit. The couple sat together, looking at the sky, the sea, and the sunset.
This is Lin Wei’s favorite thing to do after joining the army on the island.
No need to think too much, no need to talk too much, just looking at the sea, listening to the cicadas chirping, and feeling the evening breeze, it is very comfortable.
At first, Zong Shao couldn't adapt to this comfort very well. He had been used to being tense over the years, and even though he would relax a little in front of Lin Wei and the children, this relaxation was very limited.
Therefore, when he sat with Lin Wei to watch the sea, he always sat upright, and at most he would unbutton his shirt to get some fresh air.
But Lin Wei's original intention of sitting here was to relax. If the stool had no backrest, she would have wanted to sit there limply. But even if conditions do not allow, she will sit in any casual and comfortable posture.
But when Zong Shao came, he sat right next to her. With him as a comparison, she had to sit up straight even if she didn't want to. After all, she also had the burden of being an idol.
Therefore, Lin Wei disliked Zong Shao at that time, but she thought that they had just reunited and were not that familiar with each other yet, so she had to pretend.
But after getting familiar with him, Lin Wei no longer had so many concerns. No matter how straight he sat, she would still go into the room, pull out the sofa and sit down. I even moved the sofa further away so that we didn't sit together, and the contrast wasn't that drastic.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." When Lin Wei's true nature was exposed, Zong Shao also began to follow suit.
But he still had some baggage on him, so he didn't lie down like Lin Wei. He just relaxed his shoulders, leaned against the wall, and sat stretched out with his long legs.
So when Zhao Li came to Lin Wei with new gossip and durian, wanting to share them with her, she saw the couple eating fruit and chatting leisurely. She was very envious and decided to join.
The time between the two was broken, and Zong Shao was hit by a durian: "..."
