The younger brother let out a long sigh. "I'm useless. After more than twenty years of marriage, this is all I have. I still have my own family, a wife and children. My children need to go to university and get married. I can't let this family fall apart."
"Your wife left, and you blame me? I raised you with so much difficulty, and this is how you treat me?" Dong Yun pressed her chest hard, angrily questioning him.
The younger brother closed his eyes. "Big sister, even if you didn't protect us, stepmother wouldn't dare to kill me and second sister, right? Back then, stepmother targeted us because she wanted to keep Mom's job. You went against stepmother to keep that job. You wanted to stay in the city and didn't want to go to the countryside. Forget it, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore. It's true that you've been good to us, and second sister and I remember it. But feelings can't be worn down. We've done our best to help you."
"Yes, yes, you wouldn't have died without me. It was my own fault for protecting you. I only protected you because I got Mom's job. When you were laid off, it was also my own fault for arranging jobs for you. Heh, now that I'm down on my luck, you all look down on me. Fine, fine, I'll leave. I won't be a burden to you. But don't say that your family will fall apart because of me." Dong Yun's tears streamed down her face. All her efforts had been denied, and her heart ached as if it had been ripped out.
The younger brother lowered his head and said, "You and the child have nowhere to go right now. Let's wait until your brother-in-law settles down before you leave."
There's no point in saying more; it's just arguing about who gave more, and it's all just hurtful words.
"You'll never know how fragile human relationships are until you've experienced hardship yourself. We'll move out as soon as possible." Dong Yun wiped away her tears and went back to her room.
The younger brother hung his head, his eyes red-rimmed. His older sister had no way out; she should try to live a good life from now on.
Dong Yun lay in bed, tears soaking her pillow. The phone rang. Dong Yun picked it up, and it was Li Laosan. Dong Yun wiped away her tears. Li Laosan was calling her to ask her to go back and take care of Li Xingguo? Very likely.
She took a deep breath; if she wanted her to go back, she had to set conditions.
"Hello? Who is it?" Dong Yun asked casually.
Third brother... she's really put on a good act.
"Did you know that Li Xingguo is going to file for divorce?"
Dong Yun, who was halfway through her act, immediately broke down, exclaiming, "He wants a divorce? He, a useless man, is suing me for divorce? What a joke!"
The third brother grinned and said, "If you cripple him, it'll be too good for you if he divorces you. If you don't agree, he'll sue you. You still think that's funny?"
Dong Yun: "He attacked first, I was acting in self-defense, he deserved to be crippled."
The third brother said, "Injury by negligence is still injury, it's just that the punishment is lighter."
"What do you mean? You're not kindly reminding me that Li Xingguo wants to divorce me, are you?" Dong Yun realized that Li Laosan was no good person; he was the one who knocked out all her teeth.
The third brother said, "Of course not. Li Xingguo is at the entrance of the community right now. As long as he goes home, he will have a backup plan. He will definitely divorce you, and the children won't want a mother who has nothing."
Dong Yun sneered twice, "You want me to stop your older brother from going home, don't you?"
“That’s right. If you don’t want a divorce, you can’t let Li Xingguo live too well. You have to keep him under your control,” the third brother replied matter-of-factly.
