Chapter 45: Can't Provoke, Can Afford to Hide
"Mom, if Li Yang had stabbed Xiao Xin with a knife yesterday, or if he had hurt me, would he have been fine, and you would have just thought we were wrong?"
Yue Youhui stared straight into Li Yan's eyes and asked her: "Anyway, no matter what Li Yang did, he was not wrong, no matter what grandma and uncle did, they were not wrong, only Xiao Xin and I were wrong, right?"
"What kind of nonsense are you asking, kid?"
"Xiaohui, Yangyang was just joking with you guys that day. There's nothing wrong between you and Xiaoxin. Everything is fine."
Li Yan avoided Yue Youhui's gaze with an unnatural expression.
Ever since Yue Youhui grabbed her hand yesterday and asked her to strangle him to death, she has been particularly afraid of him. She always feels that this kid is crazy.
Just like the way he looked at her at this moment, it made her whole body go hairy.
"Stop being so mad! How come you become like this after just one day at your grandma's place?"
"I told you two not to stay at your grandma's house, but you two insisted!"
"No wonder they say nephews are hard to get acquainted with! After one day at your grandma's, you've become estranged from your grandmother, and you're not close to me either! I really raised you two in vain!"
Li Yan complained a few words, glanced at the clock hanging in the lobby, and reached out to Yue Youxin and Yue Youhui again, trying to pull them over: "Go, go! I'm in a hurry to go back to cook. It's all your fault. You made your grandma sick. When you go back, you must apologize to your uncle and Yangyang, understand?"
Seeing that the two men actually hid behind her hands and retreated, Li Yan was furious and raised her hands high to hit them: "I really gave you two a hard time, didn't I?"
Then she thought that they were not far from the school gate, and she was afraid of being seen and laughed at, so she reluctantly put down her hand and warned them with a stern face: "Don't pull and tug at me, it's embarrassing in front of the school gate, you hear me!"
"You two have to go today, whether you want to or not!"
"If you two don't go to your grandma's house today to apologize to your uncle and Yangyang, then don't recognize me as your mother anymore!"
"If you don't admit it, then don't admit it!"
Yue Youxin said this angrily, pulled Yue Youhui and turned and ran away.
Li Yan was wearing high heels and almost sprained her ankle after chasing them for two steps. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed at the two people's backs: "I really gave birth to two beasts. I should have strangled you to death!"
"Xiao Xin, Xiao Hui?"
Seeing the two children sweating from running, Yue Mingde quickly went back to the house to get towels and handed them to them: "Tell Dad, what happened?"
Yue Youxin replied in a muffled voice: "My mother insisted on dragging Xiaohui and me to apologize to my uncle and Li Yang."
"Dad has some cold boiled water for you two. Go drink some water first to relax. Dad will prepare the meal soon." Yue Mingde patted Yue Youxin and Yue Youhui on the shoulders.
Only after they entered the house did his face darken.
I’m afraid it was Li Zhigang who asked Li Yan to do this again!
Li Yan is going too far. How can she force her child like this?
Does she still have any regard for her son?
After the three of them finished their meal, Yue Mingde discussed with Yue Youxin and Yue Youhui: "Xiaoxin, Xiaohui, Dad wants to transfer you two to another school. Are you willing?"
"It's like this. If I divorce your mom, the three of us will have to leave. Dad has already resigned and found a job as a maintenance worker at your uncle's school. I plan to move nearby."
"There's a night market over there. I can set up a stall and sell some things at night. I can earn the same as before. It's enough for the three of us to live on."
"If we move there, it will be too far from your current primary school and it will be inconvenient for you to go to and from school."
"The most important thing is that you can stay away from your mother and Li Yang after transferring to another school."
"Your mother is just confused. She won't harm you, but what if Li Yang does something bad to you?"
He stayed up all night last night thinking about these things.
He has to be wary of Li Zhigang, and he also has to let Xiaoxin and Xiaohui be wary of Li Yang.
Li Yang is even scarier than Li Zhigang. That child has grown completely crooked. You can tell from the way he speaks and acts that, at such a young age, he has an extremely vicious mind.
Besides, he is just a child, and if he really does something, there is no way to hold him responsible.
If they can't afford to offend him, then they will just hide and let Xiaoxin and Xiaohui stay away from him.
"Dad, I do! I really do!"
Yue Youxin came back excitedly and tugged at Yue Youhui's arm: "Xiaohui, that's great... No, Xiaohui, why are you not happy at all? Don't you want to transfer to another school?"
Yue Youhui did not reply to Yue Youxin, but asked Yue Mingde: "Dad, does transferring schools cost a lot of money?"
Yue Mingde spoke frankly: "I don't know the details either. I just wanted to ask you two what you think. If you two agree, I will find time tomorrow to go and look for Uncle Chen who went to the countryside with me. He is now a teacher at Huadeng Hutong Primary School."
"Xiaohui, Dad knows what you are worried about." Yue Mingde shook his head gently at Yue Youhui: "This matter is not as difficult as you think."
"Even if Dad doesn't have good connections, your second uncle, third uncle, aunt, and uncle can still arrange for you to transfer to another school."
"As for money, you don't have to worry about it."
Yue Mingde stood up and rubbed Yue Youxin and Yue Youhui's heads, then said to them with a smile: "Just eat well and study hard, Dad will take care of the rest."
In the afternoon, Yue Mingde took a leave. He sent Yue Youxin and Yue Youhui to school. After waiting for a while, he saw Li Yan coming towards him from a distance, and he went forward to meet her.
Before Yue Mingde could speak, Li Yan spoke first: "Yue Mingde, I'm telling you, don't even think about it. I won't go home with you!"
"Your family has really gone too far this time, especially Yue Mingyuan, he..."
"I'm not here to ask you to come home with me." Yue Mingde interrupted Li Yan: "I'm here to ask you to go through the divorce procedures."
"My divorce application has been approved by my employer." Yue Mingde took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it and held it up for Li Yan to see.
This was the stamp he asked the factory office to give him when he went to submit his resignation application in the morning.
Under normal circumstances, it would not be so smooth and it would take at least half a month to get approval.
"You!" Li Yan's eyes widened. She didn't expect Yue Mingde really wanted to divorce her.
"Yue Mingde, tell me, you don't have someone outside!" Li Yan hit Yue Mingde hard on the chest.
She didn't think she had done anything wrong. Yue Mingde was so anxious to divorce her, he must have another woman outside.
"I was so blind. I thought you were an honest man, but I didn't expect you to be so sanctimonious and yet so treacherous!"
Yue Mingde guessed that Li Yan would do this, so he grabbed Li Yan's hand and threw it away: "Li Yan, let me ask you how much money is left in your family's savings?"
Li Yan's eyes flickered: "That's all the money."
"How much money is that?" Yue Mingde asked directly: "There shouldn't be much money left. You used it all to pay off Li Zhigang's gambling debts, right?"
"You...how did you know?" Li Yan was extremely flustered.
Since they got married, Yue Mingde gave all his money to her for safekeeping. Even though his factory had not been doing well in the past few months and he had not paid any salaries, in fact, all the money in the family was earned by him.
As soon as she got her salary every month, she took it directly back to her parents' home, and it has been like this for many years.
