In fact, no matter in which old person's heart, the idea that a harmonious family brings prosperity is always deeply rooted. When we are young, we can't help being a little impatient. When we get older, we like to have more stability, fewer things to do, and a more peaceful life in old age.
My eldest grandson came to me that day and said he wanted a divorce, and I angrily scolded him for being ridiculous.
"Marriage is not a joke. I don't care why you married her. Since you are husband and wife, you have to fulfill your responsibilities as a man and the head of the family. Your wife has been hardworking and diligent over the years, and the two children she raised are smart and sensible. What else are you not satisfied with? Could it be that you had an affair with that girl Liu Ping in the team again..."
"Grandpa!" The eldest grandson stopped me, "You can scold me, but my divorce has nothing to do with Liu Ping. If this affects Liu Ping's reputation, I will want to kill myself."
Although I don't know why my eldest grandson suddenly said such a thing, I still trust his character. He said that he had nothing to do with Liu Ping, and I believed him 100%. But how could they have come to the point where they had to get a divorce when they were living a good life?
Moreover, I am the patriarch of the old Pei family, and he is also the captain of the village. If we divorce without any clear reason, how will others view our family? Will my granddaughter-in-law's family come to make trouble?
I thought about a lot of things, and finally, looking at my eldest grandson who was silent, I said to him earnestly: "Qingshan, Grandpa knows that your grandson's wife is not the one in your heart, but you are already an adult, you have a child, and you have become a father. You should understand what you are shouldering. If you want to divorce, if you ask for my opinion, then I will also tell you that I do not agree."
"Grandpa, this is really hard to say." The eldest grandson opened and closed his mouth several times, but finally, as if he was deflated, he didn't say anything.
You are already a captain, don't you know how to be more mature and steady? Can you just say the word divorce casually? It's still hard to say it.
"It's hard to even talk to me. If people ask me why I'm leaving, can I tell them why? I can't even get past my family, how can I explain it to others when I'm out there?"
"This is still the least important point. The most important thing is that people should not betray their conscience."
"Even if she didn't want you to, you didn't refuse at first, right? She has worked hard in your family for so many years. Marriage is not a matter between two people. How can you just divorce her?"
"You make decisions so easily now. Don't you think about it? You go out early and come back late every day. How many things at home do you take care of? If you divorce her, what will happen to the children at home? Who will take care of them?"
I thought I had explained to him clearly in every aspect why we couldn't get a divorce, but who knew he would start to refute me the next second, and the reasons he gave were so bad that I couldn't even say that if they happened to me, I would resist getting a divorce.
"Grandpa, my daughter is not mine..."
No, I can understand each word, but why can’t I understand what it means when you put them together?
If the girl isn't his, who else could she be? My granddaughter-in-law works so hard every day to take care of the family, how could she have time to go out and flirt with other men?
I think that either the eldest grandson is worrying too much, or some people who don't see any good in us spread some rumors, causing the couple to get divorced.
Thinking of this, I picked up my walking stick and hit my grandson with it. "Don't talk nonsense, you little bastard. How could your wife cheat on you? Don't believe everything you hear. You're embarrassing yourself."
He sighed, did not dodge or avoid the cane hitting his body, but knelt in front of me and told me everything that happened the year his daughter was born, his tone very calm.
Later he refuted what I said about his wife being hardworking at home for many years. Only then did I realize that it was his daughter who did almost all the housework. I also regretted not taking care of the household affairs.
I saw Nannan working several times, and I thought she was helping her grandson's wife out of consideration for her mother.
Finally, my eldest grandson said to me, "Grandpa, I was really tired at that time, but it's impossible for me not to remember what happened to me. And later I went to verify that she did have an unclear relationship with the educated youth who returned to the city. I didn't choose to divorce her at the time, first because the child was still young and needed someone to take care of him, and second because this matter was really too ugly, and I was afraid that our family would be laughed at."
I was silent for a long time, knowing that my eldest grandson would not joke about such things. After listening to him, I felt as if many more white hairs had grown on my head.
"Then why did you let her give birth to your daughter? This kind of thing should be kept to herself. How could she give birth to a bastard?"
My words were really too harsh. I felt a little embarrassed after saying them. I waved my hand at him and said, "Go ahead. Do whatever you want. I am too old to do anything about it."
I originally thought that after they divorced, my daughter would be taken away by her mother, and there would be no one to take care of all the chores at home.
I am against their divorce. Ultimately, a very important point is that a family cannot be without a woman. Since ancient times, men have been the breadwinners outside the home and women have been the homemakers inside the home. Men earn money to support the family, and women have to take care of the house inside and out. It won't work without a woman.
It seems that even at this age, I, an old man, have to start doing laundry and cooking.
After getting my consent, the eldest grandson quickly divorced his granddaughter-in-law, and he actually brought his daughter back home.
When facing this girl, even though I have experienced so much, I can't help but have some thoughts.
