When Wang Xiaojie and Lu Jiaguang went to bed at night, they talked about this matter. She said puzzledly: "Lili used to be very good to Jiajie and the children. Why did she become like this now?"

If they were getting divorced because of the issue of supporting his parents, she would help persuade them. But now Lu Jiajie was getting divorced for the sake of the future of their two children, so she couldn't persuade him and couldn't bring herself to say that.

Lu Jiaguang sighed and said, "After Ma Lili had a sterilization and couldn't have children, the Ma couple asked Jiajie to let Qiangqiang change his surname to Ma. After being rejected, their attitude was not as good as before. Jiajie always wanted to move out, and he talked to Ma Lili many times but she didn't agree."

"Why haven't I heard you say that?"

Lu Jiaguang shook his head and said, "He is a man, and he is too embarrassed to complain to us. He just confided all these things to me last time when we were drinking. In fact, the hidden danger of sterilization of my brother and sister-in-law was planted after Xiao Feng'er was born, but at that time Jiajie had a low salary and lived in the Ma family, and his wife did not agree with him, so he could only endure it."

Wang Xiaojie finally understood that the previous harmonious relationship was just a superficial appearance, and the contradictions were deep behind the scenes. It was just that Lu Jiajie only reported good news and not bad news, so they didn't know.

Lu Jiaguang was silent for a moment and then said, "Ma Lili's resentment towards Jiaxin should not be limited to the loan. She should think that if Jiajie had not gone to Yangcheng to help Jiaxin with her business, and had continued to work in the shoe factory, the couple would not have fallen out."

Wang Xiaojie frowned and said, "How can this be blamed on Jiaxin? She only helped Jiajie because she saw that he was having a hard time. If it weren't for Jiaxin, would she be able to live in this big house and have someone to do the laundry, cook, and take care of the children?"

If anyone tells others about her life, which woman wouldn't be envious?

Lu Jiaguang said: "Have you ever thought about it? When she was at her parents' house, she didn't have to do laundry, cooking, or take care of the children. At that time, the couple loved each other and the children were obedient."

Wang Xiaojie said, "How can it be counted like that? It was her parents who were ruthless and forced Jiajie to move out. Then Jiaxin asked Jiajie to go to Yangcheng to help. Without Jiaxin, it would be even harder for them to rent a house outside."

Lu Jiaguang said: "Life will be difficult, but Jiajie will listen to her if he can't make money, and he won't divorce her like he is doing now."

Wang Xiaojie was speechless. If Ma Lili thought so, Lu Jiajie would not divorce her if he did not do business. No, it should be said that he did not dare to divorce her.

Lu Jiaguang said: "She has actually been aggrieved by Jiajie and the two children, but Jiajie had been forbearing in the past. Now that he has made money, he can't bear it anymore and the conflict is exposed. It's better to get a divorce, at least the two children won't be affected by the Ma family."

Wang Xiaojie said with some concern: "But can Uncle San take care of two children?"

Lu Jiaguang had also thought about this: "Jiaxin will definitely buy my house together with Uncle San's, so that it will be easier to take care of him. Jiajie is rich now, so let him buy a house with us. With us watching over it, it shouldn't go astray."

Wang Xiaojie thought what he said made sense, but she had a worry: "Lili has to come and pick up the two children to the Ma family frequently. If they instigate us, all our efforts will be in vain."

Lu Jiaguang was not worried about this. He said, "Jiajie doesn't want the house but is willing to give compensation just to separate the Ma family. His business is quite big now and he knows a lot of people. If the Ma family takes the house and compensation, they won't dare to get close to the two children. Otherwise, Jiajie won't let them off."

Wang Xiaojie said nothing more.

After Lu Jiajie and Ma Lili had their showdown, a telegram came and went from Yangcheng. He came back after calculating the time when Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng would have their vacation.

When Ma Lili got home from get off work that day, she didn't see her children. She thought they had gone out to play, but she couldn't find them outside. She was so scared that she shouted the names of her two children.

At night, Lu Jiajie did not bring the child back, and Ma Lili tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Suddenly, she remembered that Xiao Feng'er's coat was not washed, so she got up to get it, only to find that the coat was gone and the closet was empty.

Ma Lili was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she found that not only the clothes were missing, but also Xiao Feng'er's schoolbag and books. She ran to Qiangqiang's room and saw that it was the same as Xiao Feng'er's. If she was just taking the child out to play, was it necessary to take away all the clothes and books?

Early in the morning, Ma Lili called Lu Hongjun, and when she heard that he didn't know, she turned and called Wang Xiaojie.

Wang Xiaojie didn't believe that Lu Jiajie hid the child: "He said before that he would take the child back to his hometown during the summer vacation, so he must have returned home."

In fact, Lu Jiajie did hide the child, and he came out the next day.

Ma Lili stepped forward and tore at him, asking, "Lu Jiajie, where is the child? Where did you hide the child?"

Seeing her anxious look, Lu Jiajie snorted and asked, "Qiangqiang's body was covered with bruises, Xiaofeng's forehead was bruised and her hands were scratched. How did you deal with the two children being beaten like that by Ma Jixiang?"

In the past, he just pushed or forced things, but this time, Ma Jixiang directly hit him. The reason is very simple. Last time, Ma Jixiang was beaten by him, and he couldn't fight back, so he took revenge on Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng'er. He almost went to the Ma family to settle the score, but it was Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng'er who calmed him down. The most important thing at the moment is divorce, and Ma Jixiang will have plenty of opportunities to clean up in the future.

Ma Lili felt a little guilty, but still said, "I scolded him, and Jixiang promised that he would not beat Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng again."

She was also very angry at the time and wanted to hit Ma Jixiang, but was stopped by Ma's mother. Ma's father also scolded her, and the incident ended with Ma Jixiang apologizing to the two children.

Lu Jiajie laughed in anger and didn't want to argue with her anymore: "If you are willing to divorce, we will go through the formalities. You can come to see the child on Sundays in the future, but you can only see the child and not take the child away. Also, you Ma family members are not allowed to contact the child privately, otherwise I will make them suffer."

Since Ma's father and mother only care about their grandson and treat their grandson and granddaughter as grass, let the children treat them as dead in the future. If they dare to entangle him, he will not be a pushover.

Ma Lili cried and said, "Lu Jiajie, you can't do this?"

Lu Jiajie felt disgusted by her look and said, "The two children have been bullied by Ma Jixiang many times, and in the end you just kept quiet and let the two children suffer. Now you say you can't bear to part with the children. No one will believe this. Ma Lili, I'll give you a day to think about it. If you don't agree, I will take the children away and you will never see them again."

"You have no right to do that."

Lu Jiajie said coldly: "I only regret that I woke up too late. I should have divorced you earlier, so that the child would not have suffered so much."

In fact, not only the children were wronged, he also endured it in the Ma family since Xiao Fenger was born. But every time he said that Ma Lili was trying to smooth things over, saying that her parents were not easy for him to be more patient, and never took his and the children's grievances to heart. Fortunately, now he has seen through it, and it doesn't matter after the divorce. He will live a good life with his two children in the future.
