Li Hongyan rushed to the hospital, but the police had already arrived. All irrelevant people were driven away and returned to their respective wards.
Li Pingwang was being persuaded by the doctor to pack up his things and prepare to be discharged from the hospital.
He didn't have any illness to begin with.
In his previous life, he lived to be over ninety years old.
As soon as Li Hongyan entered the room, everyone's eyes turned to her.
She felt embarrassed and couldn't help but want to save her image, so she carefully approached her mother Chen Xiaoying and said, "Mom, don't be angry with my dad. It's not too late to regret it now."
"Mom, it's not easy for you to earn some money in the past two years. Don't divorce me just for the money. How are you going to live in the future if you don't even have a home?"
"I also want to be filial to you and take care of you in your old age, but I have to raise three children, which is very stressful. I'm afraid you'll suffer with me..."
As long as the villagers have sons, they will not let their daughters take care of them in their old age.
Li Hongyan knew clearly in her heart that she would not be able to provide for her parents in their old age, but she just wanted to say such nice things to let others know that she was a filial daughter, so it was okay for her to spend a little money on her parents.
The filial piety she talks about is worth a thousand gold.
Chen Xiaoying sneered in her heart. Without saying a word, she grabbed the thing in her hand, took a look at it, and threw it to Li Pingwang: "I have the things, let's go."
Li Pingwang felt humiliated by her throwing things, and angrily said, "Go! Whoever doesn't go is a dog!"
The couple is really going to get a divorce.
Li Hongwei didn't know what to say. His father was determined to divorce him and divide the marital property with his mother Chen Xiaoying, and then use the money to pay off the debts of his eldest sister Li Hongyan.
How could he stop him?
After the divorce, at least his father won't chase his mother for money anymore.
He won't be forced to sell the house.
Heigou had a car, so Li Pingwang sat in the front passenger seat, Chen Xiaoying sat in the back seat, along with their eldest son Li Hongwei and eldest daughter Li Hongyan, a family of four, and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
People in the Civil Affairs Bureau are quite strange.
Especially the clerk who had been scolded by Chen Xiaoying a few days ago, when he saw that the other party was really there for a divorce and was holding a stack of money and pressed his fingerprints, he directly divided the money.
Half each.
"Why is there only 15,000? Is this all the money you earn from running a restaurant?" Li Pingwang calculated that it must be at least 30,000 or 40,000.
"Do you think money comes from the wind? I don't want any cost?" Chen Xiaoying stared at him coldly.
Spending fifteen thousand dollars to divorce him was like buying out the relationship that had bound her for her entire life, and she felt it was worth it.
Fifteen thousand?
Li Hongyan was also dumbfounded: "Mom, what about the house you bought for the eldest brother?"
At this point, she stopped pretending and started talking about Li Hongwei's house.
Li Hongwei was annoyed: "What does my house have to do with you?"
Li Hongyan sneered: "It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with Dad. Didn't Mom use her marital property to buy it for you?"
She was being shameless, and Li Hongwei couldn't stand it anymore: "If you're going to settle this with me, then we still have a lot of accounts to settle."
"Mom earned seven or eight years from selling sheep, Dad earned at least twenty years from selling saplings and fruit, the food, rice, flour and oil they gave you, almost all the money they earned in their lifetime was used to support you. And there's also the savings book with 30,000 yuan that you haven't withdrawn from the credit union yet, and the wages that your second and third brothers have kept for you after working outside for seven or eight years. Add it all up, do you think it's 50,000 yuan?"
Li Hongyan's face turned pale: "What you said is meaningless. Just counting the money given to me, I have never given it out? For so many years, I bought clothes, shoes, food and daily necessities for my parents..."
Li Hongwei really didn't want to hear it anymore: "Stop saying those old-fashioned things. How much money can you spend on clothes, shoes, and food? It's other people's money, not yours. How can you take all the credit for it?"
Seeing the siblings about to quarrel at the Civil Affairs Office, Chen Xiaoying stared at her eldest daughter, Li Hongyan, and said, "Your father has no objection, so why do you? Do you have a say in what's going on between us?"
Li Hongyan was mocked by her mother Chen Xiaoying. She felt uncomfortable: "Mom!"
"Don't call me mom. I have severed the mother-daughter relationship with you a long time ago. This time, you went behind my back and teamed up with your dad to borrow some high-interest loan and forced me to pay you back. You even instigated your dad to divorce me. I have seen through you." Chen Xiaoying didn't know what sins she had committed in her previous life that she gave birth to a child like Li Hongyan in this life.
When she was a child, she loved her so much. She was the first child born. Five years later, she gave birth to the second child, Li Hongwei. During those five years, she treated her like a treasure.
Later, brothers were born one after another, and she did help raise their younger brothers, but it was far from the case that she told her brothers: I raised each of you.
In the poor families in the village, parents have to go out to work to support the family, and the eldest child, regardless of gender, stays at home to take care of his or her younger siblings. This is how everyone lives.
Her contribution was exceptionally great, even greater than that of her biological mother who gave birth to and raised a son. She coaxed her younger brothers, and they all treated her as their own mother and were filial to her.
When you have money, give it to her for safekeeping.
I have something good and I'm thinking of giving it to her.
The eldest daughter has been mischievous and selfish since she was young, and never speaks the truth. As she grows up, her behavior has become even worse. What can she, as a mother, do?
Should I stuff her back into my stomach? Or should I strangle her to death?
This is all impossible.
"And this five thousand yuan is the betrothal money returned by the Wang family. I'm returning it to you." Chen Xiaoying said, and took out a stack of money from the cloth bag she brought and stuffed it into Li Hongyan's pocket: "Now, no one owes anyone anything. From now on, don't let me see you again."
"I don't have a daughter like you."
Her attitude was firm.
Li Hongyan took the money and couldn't help feeling sad. Her eyes turned red with grievance: "Mom, this is really my dad's idea. It has nothing to do with me."
In front of so many people, she refused to admit it.
She herself knew that it would be embarrassing to tell this to others.
"Li Pingwang, do you have any objections?" Chen Xiaoying stared at Li Pingwang: "If you have any objections, let Li Hongyan withdraw the 30,000 yuan from the passbook now, and we will divide it again."
Li Pingwang looked at his eldest daughter, Li Hongyan.
Li Hongyan quickly winked at him. She had already taken out and spent the 30,000 yuan a long time ago, so how could she have any left?
Li Pingwang thought that he was not letting his wife Chen Xiaoying withdraw the savings book. Thirty thousand yuan, wouldn't they keep it for themselves? Anyway, she runs a small restaurant, and she will make a lot of money in the future.
I said coldly: "What's your opinion? You are very capable, I have no opinion. But don't regret it in the future."
An old woman from a village, with little education, can at best sell food in a small restaurant. She might even lose money after a few years.
