"The important thing now is to get the demolition compensation. Once we have the money, we'll take the child abroad for medical treatment. He'll definitely be cured." Zhou Changshun was also burning with anger, but he knew what was important.
"I hope God will bless us so that we can receive the demolition compensation smoothly." Changshun's wife was uncertain and could only pray to God for help.
On the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Changshun and his wife sat in the hospital corridor, praying that everything would go smoothly.
After the Li family finished eating glutinous rice balls, the New Year celebrations were considered over. Tomorrow, Fengchun and his wife would return to Shanghai, and Xingping would also go to Shanghai first. Once the exit procedures were completed, they would leave directly from Shanghai, leaving the children to study in Li Mantun.
Xingping was quiet throughout the Spring Festival, and people were sullen all day.
Liu Cuihua gritted her teeth in anger. What a worthless piece of trash! What's the point of thinking about that slut? She's such a spineless coward.
After Liu Cuihua finished washing up and went to bed, the phone rang. She saw it was Xingsong's wife. After lunch, she had sent her sons home.
As soon as I answered the phone, Xingsong's wife's excited voice came through: "Mom, guess who just came?"
Liu Cuihua… Did she need to guess? With that gloating tone, who else could it be?
"Speak quickly if you have something to say."
"Mom, fourth son's wife just came back!"
Liu Cuihua, she knew it all. "What fourth son's wife? They're all divorced. That slut has nothing to do with our family. You let her into the house?"
Xingsong's wife felt the chill through the phone. "No, Mom. She's not family. Why would I let her in? I chased that shameless slut away. Does she think we're a garbage-collecting family? She's been flirting around and now she wants to come back. Does she think that thing is still usable after a wash? Mom, when is Fourth Brother leaving? He's so easily swayed. Don't let him remarry. Our family can't afford to lose face like that."
"We're leaving tomorrow. Your dad and I are going to sleep now. You should go to sleep early too," Liu Cuihua said dismissively before hanging up the phone.
Li Mantun, with his back to Liu Cuihua, got up and got out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Liu Cuihua asked.
"Where are you going? Do you think that woman will ever stop? I'm going to check on your son. If he dares to keep up with her, I'll break his legs." Li Mantun gritted his teeth.
"Forget it, he'll leave tomorrow. It's already hard enough having to deal with someone like him," Liu Cuihua said, feeling sorry for her son.
"Isn't this his own fault? He's like a spineless wretch in front of his wife, letting her do whatever she wants with him. What a pathetic piece of trash!" Li Mantun stormed out of the house.
Liu Cuihua sighed helplessly. Xingping was easily influenced. He listened to her when he was young, and he listened to his wife after marriage. If he had a good wife, he could have lived a good life. Who knew he would end up with someone like this?
Inside Xingping's house, the lights were off. Li Mantun didn't knock; he just slammed the door open and turned on the lights.
Xingping lay on the bed with tears streaming down his face, his phone next to his ear, in the middle of a call. When he saw Li Mantun enter the room, Xingping quickly wiped his face and hurriedly hung up the phone.
Li Mantun stared at the phone with a dark expression. "Li Xingping, if you still want to be my son, you'd better break up with that woman right now. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged people."
"Dad! I..." Xingping lowered his head, he was in great pain. His wife begged him to give her another chance for the sake of the children. She promised to change and live a good life with him. After so many years of relationship, Xingping was wavering.
Li Mantun pointed at Xingping and said, "Don't explain to me. Think about it yourself. Does anyone in the surrounding area not know about that woman's affairs? Even though you're divorced, I don't dare go back to the village. I'm ashamed. If you can tolerate this and are willing to be a cuckold, then get out of here. I won't give you a single penny of your house, land, or property. Take your kid and get out of here naked!"
Xingping lowered his head and left the house. He didn't even have a place to stay. "Dad, I will not forgive her. Don't worry."
"Don't try to talk your way out of things and secretly contact me behind my back. If I find out, you can forget about ever coming back from abroad. I'd rather not have a son like you than let you disgrace the Li family!" Li Mantun said fiercely.
