Su Xueli calmly said, "I never intended to enter your home."
"You...you little brat, are you trying to rebel?!" Su Guojun was so angry that his face turned purple.
Liu Fengying also wanted to discipline her daughter, but Wei Mingshen persuaded her to stop, saying, "Uncle and Aunt, please don't get agitated. Xue Li might be upset today and spoke rashly. How about we go back and talk things out properly? We're both adults now, we can handle our own affairs, no need for you to worry."
He then forcibly pulled Su Xueli away.
Wei Mingshen rode his bicycle with Su Xueli on the back to his village, trying to ask her in a calm tone, "Xueli, what did you mean just now?"
Su Xueli said earnestly, "Ming Shen, I'm telling you the truth, I have to divorce you."
Wei Mingshen was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Why?"
"Because you belong to Lin Meizhi, and I am the third party who broke you up with Lin Meizhi."
"It was me who initiated the breakup with her; you are not the third party."
"It's because of me that you and she were forced to separate."
Wei Mingshen slammed on the brakes, turned around and looked at her, and said solemnly, "We weren't forced to separate; I chose to separate from her. I realized that we really weren't suited to be together, and my parents were right."
Su Xueli shook her head: "No matter the reason, it's all the same to me. Wei Mingshen, stop insisting, it's useless, my heart is hard."
Wei Mingshen narrowed his eyes. "I also like to pick on the toughest people the most, and the same goes for my heart."
Su Xueli sneered, "Then you're going to lose badly this time."
Wei Mingshen said, "I've never actually lost before, so it'll be good to experience it once."
Su Xueli quickly took a deep breath: I'm not angry, I'm not angry.
After the two resumed their journey, Su Xueli asked, "You've been honest with my parents, but what about them? How many temple fairs have we gone to last year? How much incense have we burned and how many wishes have we made? I don't want to continue like this."
Wei Mingshen said, "I understand. I'll tell them when I get home."
Su Xueli muttered, "I don't want to get involved in your business."
To make it easier for the father and son to talk, Su Xueli put down her chopsticks after dinner and went back to her room, where she made straw weaving while listening to the sounds outside.
A moment later, she heard Cao Maizi's voice tremble with tears as she cursed, followed by her laughter... Then she heard Wei Tiezhu muttering curses, followed by his sobs as he continued cursing...
Su Xueli couldn't decipher the elderly couple's thoughts, so she could only wait and see what happened.
The door was pushed open with a "whoosh," and Cao Maizi came in. He squatted down in front of Su Xueli, crying and laughing incoherently, "My good wife, look at the trouble your two kids caused! It almost killed your father and me... I was wondering how my son, who is so tall and strong and trained in the army for so many years, could have any health problems... Now we know the truth, he wasn't sick at all, he was faking it... Good, good, it's good that he's not sick. He told them he'll live a good life with you from now on and won't cause any more trouble..."
Su Xueli put down what she was doing and helped the agitated Cao Maizi sit down on a stool, gently persuading her, "Mother, please don't get agitated, speak slowly."
Cao Maizi laughed again, her eyes red, "You two kids are really a pair, acting so convincingly, cooperating so well, we didn't even notice anything amiss, hahaha..."
For the elderly couple, although it was a false alarm, it was good news. Their son was perfectly healthy, and he had now given up on the other woman and wanted to live a good life with his wife. They were overjoyed.
Su Xueli was at a loss for how to handle the situation.
