Ma Lili didn't want to divorce, no matter what Ma's parents said, she wouldn't give in. Lu Jiajie moved out that night and moved in with Lu Hongjun.

Lu Hongjun was also dissatisfied with Ma Lili. After he stepped down, Ma Lili rarely came to his house. She only came once during his three illnesses. However, he still did not agree to divorce.

Lu Jiajie said, "Uncle San, I've made up my mind. After the divorce, I will live with you with the child. I have asked Aunt Song to do the laundry, cooking and housework. You just need to help me pick up and drop off the child."

Lu Hongjun paused. A few days ago, he met a woman through an introduction. She was 41 years old, good-looking and had a good figure. They liked each other after meeting. If Lu Jiajie brought his children to live with him, she might back out. However, he still hoped that Lu Jiajie would take care of him when he was sick, so he didn't dare to say that he was not happy. He just tactfully said that he would move out soon.

"Move away, where to?"

Lu Hongjun said, "Jia Xin promised to buy me a bungalow. She's been busy lately and said she'll come back to look at houses in a while. There are too many rumors in the family compound, so I don't want to live there anymore."

"The housing reform is currently being discussed at the workplace and should be finalized by the end of the year."

Lu Jiajie nodded and said, "When Jiaxin buys a house, I will also buy a house next door so that we can take care of each other."

Lu Hongjun thought this was a good idea. He wouldn't have to worry about anything happening if his nephew and grandnephew lived next door. "That's fine. When Jiaxin comes back, I'll ask your eldest brother to tell her to buy a place with a good location and convenient transportation."

"No need for Big Brother to tell me, I will find the house myself."

Lu Hongjun had an idea: "Then you should look for it carefully, and then persuade your eldest brother to buy a house nearby. The three families can live together and have someone to look after them if something happens."

Lu Jiajie also thought it would be good to live together, but with the salary he got from his company, he probably couldn't afford it. He said tactfully, "Uncle, a house like the one I live in now costs more than 10,000 yuan, and I guess my brother doesn't have that much money."

Lu Hongjun said, "They are a family of six and live in a 50-square-meter house. When they were young, they could squeeze in. But now that the children have grown up, Lu Ping will get married in two years. How can that be possible? They must have saved money over the years. I have some here. If it's not enough, you can lend him some. Jiajie, your elder brother has taken good care of you over the years. Now that you have the ability, you can help him out."

Of course, Lu Jiajie had no objection and said, "I have no problem with that, but I'm afraid that big brother won't be happy. Third uncle, when the time comes, let's persuade big brother not to wrong the child for the sake of face."

"Don't worry, I will."

Two days later, Ma Lili went to Lu Hongjun and begged him to persuade Lu Jiajie not to divorce.

Lu Hongjun was a very smooth person. He adopted a roundabout strategy: "If you agree to one condition of mine, I can persuade Jiajie not to divorce you and live a good life."

"You said, I will agree to anything I can do."

Lu Hongjun's condition was that Ma Lili quit her job and take the children to Guangzhou with Lu Jiajie: "If you can't let go of your parents, then send them pension money every month. They have your eldest sister and brother-in-law, and now they have grandchildren. If they are sick, there will be people to take care of them. You don't need to worry."

Ma Lili refused as soon as she heard it.

Lu Hongjun said: "Why did Jiajie want to divorce you? Not only because you subsidize your parents without any bottom line, but also because he is afraid that the two children will be affected."

He felt that divorce was not good for the children. If Ma Lili was willing to go to Yangcheng and separate from the Ma family, he would still persuade Lu Jiajie not to divorce for the sake of the two children.

Lu Hongjun was not a very patient person, and he was unwilling to waste his breath when he saw that she disagreed. As for what Ma Lili did, she had come up with this idea for the sake of the two children. In the end, she didn't agree to the idea after he gave it to her, so she asked for a divorce.

After she left, Lu Hongjun called Wang Xiaojie and said, "I think she will definitely ask you and Jiaguang for help. This is their husband and wife's business, so don't interfere. You have no right to interfere."

Wang Xiaojie had no intention of intervening. Jiaxin had been so kind to their family. Not only did she buy clothes and toys for the children and let them live in, she also helped Jiajie start a business and lent them money to buy a house. But she ended up complaining because Jiaxin didn't lend her money to support her family, and she also blamed Jiaxin for the quarrel. With Jiaxin's experience, Wang Xiaojie would not interfere in their affairs.

Two days later, Ma Lili really went to find Wang Xiaojie and asked him to help persuade Lu Jiajie. She really didn't want to get divorced. She had been sterilized and was almost 30 years old. She could only remarry with widowers who had children. If she didn't raise her own children, she would raise other people's children. How many of these stepchildren would be reliable? What would she do when her biological children didn't care about her when she got old?

Wang Xiaojie didn't say that she couldn't persuade them. She said, "Uncle San came to our house yesterday and talked about you. He doesn't want you to get divorced either, and he asked me to persuade you to quit your job and go to Yangcheng. Lili, I think Uncle San's suggestion is good, you should think about it carefully."

Ma Lili shook her head without thinking and said, "My parents are old, and my eldest sister and brother-in-law are not reliable. If I go to Yangcheng, there will be no one to take care of them."

She is still thinking about her parents at this time, which is undoubtedly filial piety, but the more she is like this, the more Jiajie wants to divorce. Because it means that she is controlled by Ma's parents, and she will not have a peaceful life if she does not divorce.

After her repeated requests, Wang Xiaojie finally agreed to ask. She didn't fool Ma Lili, she really asked.

"Jiajie, you and Lili are divorcing. Have you figured out how to deal with the two children?"

Lu Jiajie told him about his arrangements: "Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng are old enough to take care of themselves, and Uncle San has agreed to help pick them up."

"Jiajie, do you really want a divorce? You have two children, there is no room for maneuver."

Lu Jiajie was silent for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not lying to you. Although I was dissatisfied with her before, I never thought of divorce for the sake of our two children. But if she continues like this, she and the Ma family will teach Xiao Feng'er the wrong way. I can't let them ruin Xiao Feng'er."

Qiangqiang is already sensible and is very repulsive to the Ma family, but Xiaofeng'er is still young and believes it after being coaxed a few times. The last incident is the best evidence.

Wang Xiaojie stopped persuading her.

Lu Jiajie was not having a good time after he filed for divorce. Some people advised him not to divorce for the sake of his two children, while others thought that he wanted a divorce because he had a woman outside.

Ah Le also advised him to think carefully, because once divorced, the children would be discriminated against and bullied whether they played with other children or went to school.

Lu Jiajie told Ma Lili everything she had done: "Not only did she give Ma Jixiang the clothes, toys and milk powder I bought for my child, she also joined the Ma family in making up a story that Jiaxin was the cause of our frequent quarrels. Qiang Qiang was too strong to believe her, but Xiao Feng was still young and took it seriously."

"Ah Le, don't you know that others may not know? I am where I am today because of Jia Xin. She not only gave me the opportunity but also taught me how to do business."

A Le didn't try to persuade him anymore.
