Seeing Ren Zhongyuan's eyes following Zhou Yuanyuan all the time, and seeing Zhou Yuanyuan considerately closing the door for them, Chen Qiuyu sighed heavily.
Yuanyuan was such a sensible child that she envied her. It was such a pity that her son Xiaoyuan was not worthy of this dazzling girl.
Ren Zhongyuan thought Chen Qiuyu had discovered his "secret". His face turned red and he focused his attention on Chen Qiuyu.
Seeing the gauze on Chen Qiuyu's forehead, Ren Zhongyuan blinked, feeling a little blurry in front of his eyes. He complained to Chen Qiuyu distressedly: "Mom, it hurts a lot, right? Those people are here, why didn't you tell me to go home?"
At the beginning of the school year, Ren Zhongyuan hadn't figured out Chen Qiuyu's intention for letting him live on campus. But when Chen Qiuyu came to the school today to tell Ren Zhongyuan not to go home for the next few days, Ren Zhongyuan had already guessed most of it: his mother wanted him to avoid her so that he could fend off the old woman's wrath!
"Xiaoyuan, I... want to divorce your father. You know, those people are just so unreasonable. If they keep up, your father's future will be ruined by them." Chen Qiuyu spoke her heart out to her son. Chen Qiuyu knew Ren Lao Niang's temper; she would never give up until she achieved her goal. For the past few years, Chen Qiuyu and Ren Dahai had been able to tolerate her because of Ren Lao Niang's paranoia. But now, Chen Qiuyu could no longer tolerate it. For a good mother, her children are her Achilles' heel.
In the "battle" between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the victory or defeat depends on which side the man stands on.
Having fought with Ren Lao Niang so many times, Chen Qiuyu had always been tolerant. It wasn't that Ren Dahai wouldn't stand by Chen Qiuyu, but Chen Qiuyu couldn't bear to put Ren Dahai in a difficult position. She felt sorry for her own man, and Chen Qiuyu watched Ren Dahai finally get to this point. The hard work and difficulties involved could not be explained to outsiders.
Family love is what Chen Qiuyu has always longed for. She understands Ren Dahai's psychology. Ren Dahai has always been reluctant to turn against Ren Laonian. On the one hand, it is because of the grace of his parents in raising him. On the other hand, isn't Ren Dahai also longing for the "family love" of Ren Laonian and his family?
Ren's mother called, suggesting Ren Zhongyuan become a monk to protect the Ren family from disaster. Chen Qiuyu, following Zhao Yunxiang's advice, handed the matter over to Ren Dahai. But what about Ren Dahai? With a single "impossible" and a "nonsense," Chen Qiuyu shut down whatever he wanted to say next.
Chen Qiuyu felt very sad. Ren Dahai had been able to reach his current position ten years ago, which showed that he was not stupid. But Ren Dahai, this "shrewd man", became a "fool" when he met Ren Lao Niang. Chen Qiuyu's tolerance for Ren Lao Niang was not because he was afraid of her throwing a tantrum, but because he didn't want to upset Ren Dahai.
Chen Qiuyu knew very well that if he wanted to expose Ren Lao Niang's true colors, the best thing to do was to agree to her request and let Ren Zhongyuan go back to their hometown with them. If Ren Zhongyuan was really taken to Ning'an Temple by Ren Lao Niang and her people to become a monk, then even without Chen Qiuyu's intervention, Ren Dahai's wrath alone would be enough for Ren Lao Niang and her people to bear.
But Chen Qiuyu didn't dare, and she couldn't bear to. Ren Zhongyuan was her flesh and blood. Back home, with several young men in the Ren family, and only Ren Zhongyuan, how could he escape the schemes of Ren Lao Niang and the others? If Ren Zhongyuan came to any harm, what good would it do even if Ren Dahai knew the true face of the Ren family?
Divorce is the best option Chen Qiuyu can think of at the moment.
If Ren Lao Niang continued to cause trouble in the family building, it would definitely affect Ren Dahai's future. Outsiders didn't know their family's situation, and Ren Lao Niang was used to confusing right and wrong. She would definitely think that Ren Dahai and Chen Qiuyu were unfilial to their parents.
Chen Qiuyu didn't want Ren Dahai's future to be ruined by Ren Lao Niang, so he had to take the initiative and destroy their marriage.
Chen Qiuyu felt that her injury was a good opportunity. As long as she and Ren Dahai divorced, Ren Zhongyuan would follow her, and he would no longer be considered Ren Lao Niang's grandson. No matter who the old woman wanted to harm, it would not be her son.
"Mom, it's up to you." Ren Zhongyuan nodded. It wasn't that Ren Zhongyuan wanted his parents to divorce, but rather that he felt his mother had been suffering under the weight of such a large family of ruthless relatives. Ren's mother dared to attack Chen Qiuyu, relying on her status as Chen Qiuyu's mother-in-law. His father was unreliable, so his mother should stay away from ruthless people and cherish her life!
"Xiaoyuan, you have to believe in me. I will definitely make our lives better." Chen Qiuyu was a little surprised and quickly talked about her vision for the future. Chen Qiuyu was also worried that her divorce from Ren Dahai would affect her son's mood.
"Mom, I know you've always been a good mother." Ren Zhongyuan had one more thing left unsaid: "His father wasn't a good father." For years, Chen Qiuyu's tolerance and frustration had been witnessed by Ren Zhongyuan. He had always felt that Ren Dahai was a good leader, a good soldier, and a good son, but not a good husband or father. Ren Zhongyuan never told anyone how much he longed for his own father to be like Uncle Zhou (Zhou Zhixin), a supporter of his wife.
Speaking of this, Ren Zhongyuan really did misunderstand. The falling out between Zhou Zhixin and Zhou Chunping wasn't just a case of "mother-in-law torturing daughter-in-law." There were many other issues involved, and Zhao Yunxiang hadn't told anyone, including Chen Qiuyu.
"Xiaoyuan, you've grown up." Chen Qiuyu's eyes were filled with tears, but she felt very proud. Even though she was about to lose her marriage, she had gained a good son.
"Mom, just do whatever you want! It's Dad's loss if he doesn't cherish you. I will be filial to you in the future." Ren Zhongyuan promised.
From childhood to adulthood, Ren Zhongyuan has accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with Ren Dahai, not only his own, but also his mother Chen Qiuyu's.
When Ren Zhongyuan was little, he always thought he was abandoned by his parents. Ren's mother took money from Ren Dahai and Chen Qiuyu and didn't treat Ren Zhongyuan, the eldest grandson, well. At first, Ren Zhongyuan didn't understand why. It was only when Ren's mother gossiped with a few other women that Ren Zhongyuan realized she hated him because his father didn't follow the life path she had planned for him.
In order to get more money from Ren Dahai, she brought Ren Zhongyuan back to her hometown to live. On the surface, Ren Lao Niang was "working hard" to raise her grandson, but in fact, even when Ren Zhongyuan needed milk powder, Ren Lao Niang would rush to give it to herself and Ren Xiaohua.
After Ren Zhongyuan was eight years old and taken back to Kyoto by Chen Qiuyu, Ren's mother came to make a scene, accusing Chen Qiuyu of being heartless and disliking her mother-in-law for not raising her grandson well. Later, Ren Dahai gave Ren's mother a few dozen yuan and promised that even if Ren Zhongyuan moved out of his hometown, his monthly allowance would not be reduced. This finally calmed Ren's mother down.
