After hearing this, Dong Qing didn't say anything, stuffed the money into his ex-wife's hand, and turned to go back.
Li Yuzhu held the 10,000 yuan and watched Dong Qing's departing figure. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. She wiped away her tears, put the money in her bag, and turned to walk towards her parents' home.
From now on, the tractor can no longer drive to her parents' house, and Li Yuzhu can no longer stay overnight at her parents' house. Now that things have turned out this way, her mother will absolutely not allow Dongqing to come to the house. She can only go home to see her son and parents when she is loading the truck.
When Li Yuzhu returned home, her younger brother had gone to school, her younger sister had gone to work at the porcelain factory, her father had gone to work in the fields, and only her mother was at home looking after her grandson.
When her daughter returned, her mother said, "You're back just in time. Your third aunt has arranged a marriage for you. The man is a year younger than you, and he has many brothers. They don't mind that you're divorced and have a child. Go on your motorcycle to your third aunt's house to meet him."
Li Yuzhu didn't expect her mother to act so quickly. Just a few days after the divorce, she had already found her a blind date. It seemed that her mother was still worried that she and Dong Qing would not be able to get along, and she would only feel at ease if she got married as soon as possible. Li Yuzhu could understand her mother's predicament at this time.
Li Yuzhu took her son and said, "Mom, please don't meddle in my affairs. Are you worried that your daughter won't find a husband?"
The mother said, "As your mother, I know best what you're thinking. Don't expect to remarry Dongqing. This kind of man is really unreliable. In the two years of your marriage, have you enjoyed a single day of happiness with him? Think back to the days before the child was born. You gambled every day and almost gambled away the family's fortune. You had just had two good days when he pulled this stunt."
"I'm telling you this now: if you want to remarry him, your parents will have to die. Divide your assets and leave him. It's not that you can't live without him; any other man will be better."
Li Yuzhu had a real headache after hearing her mother's words. Not to mention that she was dragging her feet on remarrying Dong Qing, even if she wanted to remarry, her mother would not agree. She had expected this outcome since she returned home after divorcing Dong Qing, but she did not expect her mother's reaction to be so strong.
It's not hard to imagine the mother's reaction. After marriage, Dongqing neglected Li Yuzhu and almost gambled away the entire family's future. Her parents had advised her countless times to divorce Dongqing.
Before Li Yuzhu's son was born, her mother never allowed Dongqing to step into her parents' home. Whenever her mother came to visit her daughter, she never spoke a word to Dongqing.
Once, when his mother came to visit, Dongqing returned home from outside and said, "Mom's here?"
The mother angrily said, "Don't call me 'Mom' anymore. I don't have a son-in-law like you. Look at the kind of life my daughter is living in your house. You two should get a divorce this afternoon, no questions asked."
Li Yuzhu cried, "Mom, don't you think my family is chaotic enough? Please stop making a scene!"
The mother cried, "I've seen through it all. You won't be satisfied until you die at his hands."
The mother-in-law was absolutely right. Li Yuzhu died at Dong Qing's hands in her previous life. The mother-in-law didn't remember her past life. If she did, she would never have allowed her daughter to continue living with Dong Qing.
After their son was born, the parents gradually accepted Dongqing. They had just started to like him, but now that he's brought up the divorce, they will definitely not tolerate him this time. Li Yuzhu had thought about her mother's reaction after the divorce.
If Li Yuzhu were to defy her parents and remarry Dong Qing, not only would her parents object, but her relatives and friends would also object, unless Li Yuzhu disregards her parents' feelings, goes against their wishes, and severs her mother-daughter relationship with them. These are all consequences she considered after the divorce.
My mother said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Fine, you don't have to. Just go to your aunt's house, or I'll go with you."
With tears in her eyes, Li Yuzhu said, "Mom, you're forcing me to go on blind dates right after our divorce. Can you please stop pressuring me like this?"
“You’re single now that you’re divorced, how am I pressuring you? Do you think it’s so easy for you to find a husband with a child?” The mother paused for a moment and said, “If you don’t want me to pressure you, that’s fine too. Just agree to my conditions and I won’t force you. You can find a husband a couple of days earlier or later.”
Li Yuzhu asked, "What are your conditions?"
Mother said, "We'll divide your and Dongqing's property immediately, move back here, and give you a tractor. Your sister can come with you to drive the tractor and sell goods. As long as you're obedient, I won't bother with you."
With tears in her eyes, Li Yuzhu said, "You're forcing me. I'm telling you this: I will not divide the property with Dong Qing, never."
With tears in her eyes, her mother said, "I knew I couldn't reason with you. You're such a blockhead! What are you still standing here for? Are you trying to make me angry? Go to your aunt's house for a blind date!"
Li Yuzhu said, "I'm not going."
The mother cried and said, "Are you going or not? If you dare say no again, I'll kneel down before you."
As her mother was about to kneel down, Li Yuzhu quickly reached out and pulled her back, crying, "Mother, I'll go, okay? Are you really my mother?"
Suddenly remembering something, her mother asked, "Something feels off. Do you really want to remarry Dongqing in the future?"
Li Yuzhu nodded tentatively.
“If you dare to remarry Dongqing, I will sever my mother-daughter relationship with you. I don’t have a daughter like you, and you don’t have a mother like me. If you come to my house again after the remarriage, I’ll have your father break your legs. You don’t believe me? Try it.”
After saying this, the mother suddenly knelt on the ground and cried, "God, what sins have I committed in this life? Why am I being punished like this?"
Li Yuzhu cried as she reached out to pull her mother, who was lying on the ground, to her feet. Her mother sobbed, "Don't touch me. I don't have a daughter like you."
Li Yuzhu knelt before her mother, crying, "Mother, what can I do to satisfy you?"
The mother cried, "Swear to me right now that you will never remarry Dongqing in this lifetime, or I will kneel and die before you."
Li Yuzhu never expected her mother's reaction to be so intense. How could she possibly remarry Dongqing if things continued like this?
"Mother, I swear, I will never remarry Dongqing in my lifetime. Is that alright, my dear mother?"
Li Yuzhu cried as she pulled her mother up from the ground, handed her son to her, went to the yard to get a towel to wipe away her tears, and pushed the motorcycle toward the gate.
Li Yuzhu had just gotten on her motorcycle outside the gate when her mother handed her her son. She asked, "Mom, are you planning to let me take the child to a blind date?"
The mother said, "I don't trust you. I'll lock the door and go with you."
The mother really saw through her daughter. She had no intention of going to her aunt's house at all. She had planned to ride her motorcycle to the porcelain factory to load goods, and then leave the motorcycle at home after she returned. Well, now her mother had no choice but to go, whether she wanted to or not.
The mother locked the door and took her grandson, who sat behind her daughter.
Li Yuzhu sat motionless on the motorcycle. Her mother said, "Why aren't you moving? Don't try to outsmart your mother. You're too naive to try. I gave birth to you. If I couldn't understand you, I wouldn't be your mother. Hurry up and move!"
"You are truly my mother."
After saying this, Li Yuzhu reluctantly started her motorcycle and drove towards her aunt's house.
