Wei Tiezhu stared at him intently for a while before asking, "You've made up your mind, and you won't regret it?"
Wei Mingshen was somewhat annoyed: "Why would I regret it? Let me tell you, your son will never be a kept man. Besides, your previous thinking was correct; Lin Meizhi and I are not a good match."
The elderly couple stared at their son in astonishment.
Wei Mingshen waved his hand and said, "I don't want to talk about this anymore. I'm going to wash my face."
He walked out, and the elderly couple looked at each other and smiled.
Cao Maizi whispered, "Our son has grown up."
Wei Tiezhu sighed and said, "It's a bit late, otherwise I wouldn't have divorced that girl, Xue Li."
Cao Maizi said, "Divorced people can remarry. Look at them now, they're together every day. As long as our son stops thinking about that village secretary's daughter and she stops interfering between them, why should they have any trouble getting along?"
Wei Tiezhu muttered, "I thought our son was going to get together with the Party Secretary's daughter this time, and I was even prepared to give up on him."
Cao Maizi scolded him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if your son starts living with the Party Secretary's daughter, you can't really abandon him. The oil is boiling, simmer it over a low flame, I'm going to throw the meatballs into the pot."
Before the meatballs were even fried properly, Wei Mingyue couldn't resist the temptation and ran over. She picked up a meatball with her hand and stuffed it into her mouth, immediately crying out in pain from the heat.
Cao Maizi scolded her: "The old stove god hasn't eaten yet, and you're already eating. See, you've burned yourself. Quickly pick up a bowl and put it on the old stove god's table before you eat."
Wei Mingyue had no choice but to fill a bowl with meatballs and place it in front of the Kitchen God's image, then pick one up, blow on it, and slowly eat it.
Cao Maizi thought of Su Xueli again. Every time she fried food, Su Xueli would put the fried food into Su Xueli's mouth first, telling her that she, as the elder, should eat first.
She felt a pang of disappointment and couldn't help but say, "Sherry is such a wonderful girl. I wonder if our son will be lucky enough to marry her again."
"What are you saying, Mother? Are you senile? My brother finally got a divorce from her, and you're spouting this nonsense again. My brother will definitely marry Lin Meizhi, he won't marry anyone else!" Wei Mingyue yelled at her mother.
"Unfortunately, this isn't up to you." Wei Mingshen entered with a livid face.
Wei Mingyue immediately cowered. She lowered her head and said, "Sister Meizhi can't live without you. She's already tried to commit suicide for you once."
She became excited, looked up at him and said, "Brother, I dare say, you'll never find a woman in this world who loves you more than she does!"
Wei Mingshen's heart sank, and his face darkened. He left with the words, "I told you not to interfere," and went back to his room.
He sat stiffly in the chair, staring motionlessly at a small ornament that Su Xueli had woven earlier.
Wei Mingyue's words touched him. Although he had been surrounded by infatuated girls since he was a child, Lin Meizhi was the only woman who loved him as much as he did and even attempted suicide for him.
When Lin Meizhi attempted suicide for him last time, it wasn't that he wasn't heartbroken or remorseful; it's just that he seemed to have lost understanding of himself. Now, it seemed he no longer had the strength to love Lin Meizhi. Perhaps, love was no longer enough...
Also, he felt really bad when Su Xueli and He Yujie went on a date, as if he were being soaked in a vat of vinegar, so he fled back in a panic.
His mind was in turmoil, a jumble of thoughts. He got up and walked out of the house, heading towards the yard in a flustered state. Cao Maizi hurriedly ran out of the kitchen and called out to him, "The meatballs are ready! Why aren't you eating them? Where are you going?"
"I'm going out for a walk and I'll be right back. We'll eat later." By the time his words reached Cao Maizi's ears, he had already walked away.
