"He ate almost half a chicken, five or six bowls of chicken soup, two large bowls of rice, half a braised pork knuckle, and he ate plenty of other dishes as well," the third son said irritably. Everyone at the table watched as his son swung his chopsticks around in a whirlwind.
Su Mo pointed outside the door and said, "Li Xingyi, go outside and run ten laps around the yard."
Yuanyuan darted back to her room in a flash, leaving only a blur. "Mom, it's too late. Excessive exercise at night will affect your physical development. I'll run tomorrow morning." The door clicked shut and locked itself.
"Aren't you going to do anything about him? Look how fat he is, and you still let him eat like that." Su Mo glared at the third brother.
The third child said aggrievedly, "Next time we go back, you can take care of him."
Su Mo... She saw the old lady's eyes, and the words she was about to say stuck in her throat. She didn't dare to say anything.
"Hey, honey, I have something to tell you, Li Xingguo got divorced," the third brother quickly shared the gossip about Li Xingguo with his wife.
"Huh? They got divorced? So fast, how could Dong Yun agree to that?" Su Mo immediately changed her attention.
The third brother said, "Oh my god, we underestimated that woman. She couldn't wait to get a divorce. She gave all the hundreds of thousands of yuan in debt to Li Xingguo, and Li Xingguo still has to give her two thousand yuan a month."
Su Mo was surprised: "They've lost their houses and cars, yet they still have so much famine?"
The third brother said, "You have to admit that Li Xingguo is stupid. Everyone else has run away, but he keeps buying more shares and using credit cards to cover the losses. However, he was careful enough not to use his own ID to apply for the credit card, but to use Dong Yun's."
Su Mo: "What's the difference? Didn't they give him all the famine relief funds?"
"That makes a huge difference. If he can't pay it back, the bank will be chasing Dong Yun, not Li Xingguo. Even if it's written in the divorce agreement, Li Xingguo still has to have the ability to repay. If he doesn't, who can do anything to him? He's careful and his credit record is still clean. He can't keep his stocks stuck indefinitely. He can recover in a year or two, so it won't stop him from making a comeback."
He didn't even ask for custody of the child. Of the two thousand yuan he gave Dong Yun, he could say it was child support. Li Xingguo had thought everything through before getting a divorce. Dong Yun underestimated Li Xingguo. That man is petty and heartless. He's crippled. Do you think you can tie him down with a child? That's impossible." The third brother knew Li Xingguo very well. He had no one but himself.
Su Mo: "Xiaoyuer is your older brother's only child. Your older brother used to love the child very much. He definitely hates Dong Yun, but he can't have any more children in the future, so he must be sincere towards the child."
The third brother sneered, "Li Xingguo and Dong Yun fought to the death, because of whom? How did his daughter behave while he was in the hospital? If it weren't for our Yuanyuan, Xiaoyuer would have been corrupted by Huangmao sooner or later. Let alone Li Xingguo, even you or I wouldn't be able to treat the child with the same openness as before."
Li Xingguo himself is a son, and his daughter's behavior is even worse than his. He's been bedridden for so many days; he must have already made his decision. Otherwise, why would he give up custody? Just watch, he won't take care of that child.
Su Mo: "What you said makes sense, but I still think your older brother will take better care of the child. He's spoiled him for so many years; you can't just sever those ties so easily."
The third brother scoffed, "Your parents have been completely devoted to Li Xingguo for decades. In Li Xingguo's heart, are there any good things about your parents?"
"So your eldest brother got divorced and went to live with your second brother? Your second sister-in-law must be heartbroken to the point of wanting to tear him apart!" Su Mo was interested in this.
"Hehe, let me tell you, the most scheming one in our family is my second brother. Guess where he took Li Xingguo?" The third brother chuckled foolishly.
