In the minds of Zhao Qingzhu and Zhao Qingju, it was wrong for their father to hit people.
Similarly, they harbored resentment towards their biological father for treating them badly, even better to his cousin than to his own daughters.
But they never even considered having their mother divorce that man because of this; the thought never even crossed their minds.
After all, no matter how you look at it, he's still their biological father.
But what is my eldest sister saying now? She wants Mom and Dad to divorce!
Is it because the eldest sister got divorced that she also wants her mother to get divorced?
“Big sister, that’s Dad!” Zhao Qingzhu said.
"So what if he's our father? Does he deserve to be our father? From childhood to adulthood, what has he ever done for us?" Zhao Qinglan began her accusations.
"It's one thing for him to favor boys over girls, but he can't ruin our future too, can he? I've already learned my lesson once, and I don't want you to suffer the same fate." Her tone became particularly heavy when she mentioned this.
The future? Zhao Qingzhu and Zhao Qingju pondered.
"Besides, what good is it for my mother to live with him? She has endless chores to do every day and is constantly scolded by him and my grandmother. Even my second and third aunts can bully and harass her." In her previous life, her mother didn't live very long before she died.
“But, how will Mother live without Father?” Zhao Qingzhu seemed to have been somewhat persuaded by her eldest sister, but she became worried.
And where will Mom go after leaving Dad?
Their maternal family has almost no one left. Otherwise, how could their mother have been bullied like this, with no one to help her?
Zhao Qinglan could understand that her two younger sisters had limited experience and narrow-mindedness.
In her opinion, none of this mattered.
They are all able-bodied and not lazy. Even now, they support themselves with the work points they earn and even take on almost all the household chores for the Zhao family.
As long as you remain hardworking and diligent after leaving the Zhao family, you will only live a better life than before.
"I'm just asking you, do you want to leave that home and live elsewhere with your mother? Do you want to be able to make your own decisions about things at home from now on? Do you want your future to no longer be arranged and controlled by others?" Zhao Qinglan asked.
Zhao Qingzhu and Zhao Qingju were stunned, and they looked at each other.
Do they want to? Of course they do.
They dream of escaping this suffocating and painful home.
If I could bring my mother along, that would be even better.
Seeing that the two were somewhat interested, Zhao Qinglan smiled and said, "If you want to say it, just say so. I won't scold or beat you."
The two sisters nodded in unison.
"Big sister, I want to."
"I want to, too."
"If you want to leave, that's fine. As for where you go after you leave, you don't need to worry about it."
"The most important thing is to get your mother to get a divorce. As for you two, Qingzhu, you're an adult now, no one can control you. Qingju, you're not an adult yet, but as long as you insist on going with your mother, they can't do anything to you."
Hearing Zhao Qinglan's words, hope shone in Qingzhu and Qingju's eyes.
"Big sister, I'll do whatever you say," Zhao Qingzhu said solemnly.
“Yes, eldest sister, we’ll listen to you.” Zhao Qingju nodded firmly.
Seeing that her two younger sisters had finally been persuaded to stand up completely, Zhao Qinglan smiled with relief.
As for their mother, all three of them insisted on this arrangement. Their mother, who lacked her own opinions, was easy to fool.
After the three sisters finished speaking their hearts to each other, they went back home, leaving Zhao Qingzhu to look after their mother. Zhao Qinglan took her younger sister and left the hospital first.
She booked a double room at a guesthouse next to the hospital.
These past few days, Qingzhu and Qingju have been staying at the hospital. When they get sleepy at night, they just find a place in the hospital to sleep.
They left home in a hurry and took almost nothing with them. Although Sui Wenjing helped them carry some things, they still had a hard time.
Seeing her older sister book a room without even blinking, Zhao Qingju felt envious.
My eldest sister is amazing! As expected, they are saved when she comes back.
After checking into the room, Zhao Qinglan took her younger sister to the supply and marketing building and bought a lot of daily necessities.
The two sisters freshened up at the guesthouse before returning to the hospital with some belongings.
Zhao Qinglan told her younger sister, who had washed up and changed her clothes, to continue watching over the place, while she sent her second sister back to the guesthouse to tidy up.
She then took some things and went to Sui Wenjing's house.
She felt very embarrassed for troubling people so much.
Because it was a holiday and cold outside, Sui Wenjing's whole family stayed at home.
When Zhao Qinglan arrived, they gave her a very warm welcome.
"You're here, why bring so much stuff?" Sui Wenjing said reproachfully.
"Sister Sui, you and Brother Aiguo have helped me so much, can't I bring you something in return?"
These words made Sui Wenjing and her husband feel particularly comfortable.
She brought a variety of things, some carried from over there and some bought from the supply and marketing cooperative building.
Even Sui Wenjing's mother-in-law, who had some resentment towards her son and daughter-in-law for always running around for Zhao Qinglan's family, had all those resentments disappear now that she saw so many things.
Humans are just that realistic.
Zhao Qinglan's sudden appearance in the garment factory's residential compound naturally attracted attention.
Zhao Qinglan had only been gone for a short time, but now she looked completely different.
Some busybodies deliberately went to the Wang family to gossip about it.
When Old Lady Wang heard that Zhao Qinglan had returned and had gone to Sui Wenjing's house with lots of things, she couldn't suppress her anger.
"That bitch, she still has the nerve to come back? Running off with someone else is glorious? Look how smug she is, she doesn't know her own worth."
According to Old Mrs. Wang, Zhao Qinglan was the one who first had an ambiguous relationship with another man, which led to her making a scene and divorcing her son.
In short, it's all Zhao Qinglan's fault, that's for sure.
Of course, what Wang Laotai resented most was that Zhao Qinglan took his family's belongings before leaving.
Despite her anger, Old Lady Wang dared not go to Zhao Qinglan's house to cause trouble, because neither the current Zhao Qinglan nor Sui Wenjing were people she could afford to offend. She had realized this deeply, and could only vent her dissatisfaction by throwing things around at home.
Wang Dazhi returned from Zhao Family Village beaming with pride, only to find his mother looking unhappy.
"Mom, what's wrong now?" he asked, frowning.
"It's that bitch again. She's back, and now she's bringing gifts to curry favor with others."
Wang Dazhi asked in confusion, "Zhao Qinglan?"
"Who else could it be but her?"
Wang Xiaoyan didn't want to stay at home anymore, so she quietly asked Wang Xiaofei.
"Brother, why don't we go take a look?" Only after Zhao Qinglan left completely did she realize how happy her family had been before.
Wang Xiaofei nodded, and the brother and sister ran off in a flash.
Arriving at Sui Wenjing's house, the brother and sister who were squatting in the passageway couldn't help but feel envious upon hearing the cheerful laughter inside.
Zhao Qinglan was still worried about her mother and sister in the hospital, so she couldn't stay at Sui Wenjing's house for too long. Her visit was also a way of expressing her gratitude.
When Sui Wenjing escorted her out, she saw the brother and sister squatting there as soon as she stepped outside, and her eyes immediately turned cold.
"Mom!" Wang Xiaoyan stood up excitedly. Although Wang Xiaofei didn't call out, his face also showed joy.
"Don't call me Mom. I have absolutely no relation to you." Zhao Qinglan said unhappily.
