"Yu Nian, you'd better assure me that what you said is true. If you dare to lie to me," the man raised his hand and patted his face warningly, "watch out for your life!"
The smile on Yu Nian's lips froze, "Brother, I wouldn't dare lie to you."
"Yeah." The man said nothing else and looked away. "Sleep for a while and get off at the stop."
Yu Nian said happily, "Okay!"
…
My parents hadn't come to the military compound in the past few days. Li Qingge wondered if they were sick or something, so she decided to go check it out.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
Li Hao ran out of the house, hugged Li Qingge and started crying, "Auntie, Dad and Mom are getting divorced. I won't have a mother anymore."
Li Qingge's heart tightened, and he quickly picked up his nephew and said, "They can't possibly get divorced. Don't cry."
"Qingge, you're here." Zhang Xiulan's face showed no joy at all, and she motioned Qingge to come into the house.
Li Qingge frowned, "Mom, what is Haohao talking about?"
Zhang Xiulan first let Haohao go play in the yard, then she told her daughter, "Your brother and sister-in-law had a conflict, and your sister-in-law went back to the village in anger."
"Just a conflict?" Li Qingge didn't think it was that simple.
Zhang Xiulan opened her mouth, hesitant to speak. "It's not just a normal quarrel. It's... Lijuan suspects your brother of having an affair. They got really angry this time, smashing the teapot and bowls in the house. They're so angry right now, they won't listen to anything I say to your father."
Li Qingge frowned, "Mom, my brother can't possibly have someone else outside! He's busy working on the construction site all day, dealing with some old men. I guess he doesn't even see women. There must be a misunderstanding here. Why don't you explain it to my sister-in-law?"
"Your brother said that they are partners and that they met for dinner to discuss business, not what your sister-in-law thinks." Zhang Xiulan sighed, "I asked your brother to go back and coax your sister-in-law back, but your brother is too busy to have time. Your father and I decided to go back tomorrow!"
Li Qingge nodded slightly, "I'll arrange a car to take you back tomorrow!"
"Okay," Zhang Xiulan nodded.
Her son and daughter-in-law are not reconciling, and she has been unable to eat or sleep these days.
Li Qingge comforted her mother, "What couple doesn't quarrel? It's normal!"
The relationship between two people will be better after a quarrel.
"Did you have a fight with Han Ting?" Zhang Xiulan asked with concern.
"We don't quarrel." Li Hanting agreed with whatever Li Qingge said.
"It's true that older people are more caring." Zhang Xiu Lan sighed.
Li Qingge: "..." Age is not the key, good character is!
——
Ranjia Village.
Ran Lijuan came back for two or three days, and her mother persuaded her for two or three days.
"Juan'er, we must not be ungrateful for the blessings we have!"
"Mom, whose side are you on?" Ran Lijuan said unhappily, "Your daughter has been cuckolded by someone else, why are you still speaking for outsiders!"
"Let me ask you, did you see them together with your own eyes? Or what?" Ran's mother clapped her hands in anger. Why would her daughter be so stubborn about this matter?! It was so frustrating!
"I saw them eating together!"
"When did you eat? Where did you eat?"
"At noon, at the state-owned restaurant!"
"That's it!" Ran's mother spread her hands. "When Qingge got married, I went to the state-owned restaurant. The lobby on the first floor was huge, with at least dozens of tables. Besides the two of them eating at noon, was there no one else there? What else could they be doing in broad daylight? If they really had something to hide, they should have gone to the private room! And how could they let you see them? They're just open-minded! They're not afraid of being seen."
Ran Lijuan: “…”
Ran's mother continued, "I've seen everything Qingdong does to you. I've never seen such a good son-in-law. After the newspaper incident, how many men defended their wives like him?"
Ran Lijuan pursed her lips and said, "Mom, I just feel uncomfortable. I don't want him to have dinner with another woman."
"This is her job! Qingge runs her own company and is the boss! Does she only date lesbians?" Ran's mother snorted. "Let's talk about Qingge again. Where did you find such a good sister-in-law? She brought your whole family to live in the city! You said it yourself, her mother-in-law bought you a courtyard house and arranged jobs for you. Everyone in the village is so envious of you! Who doesn't say you married well!?"
Ran Lijuan's discomfort eased a little.
It seems so.
"Juan'er, the most important thing for you two right now is to live a good life and stop thinking about those useless things." Ran's mother advised earnestly: "If you two really get divorced, you won't be able to see either of your two children. Qingdong's conditions are so hot even in the city!"
Ran Lijuan suddenly had an epiphany.
She knew how Li Qingdong had treated her over the years since they got married.
He is usually so busy with work that he never comes home, and he has lost a lot of weight.
Aren’t they enduring hardships on the construction site just hoping that their families can live well?
She even quarreled with him.
What’s the difference between this and giving other women a chance?
Besides, there are the children.
She didn't want her children to call another woman "Mom".
"Mom, what do you think I should do?"
"What can we do? Go back, of course!" Ran's mother reached out and poked her head with a look of disappointment. "Mom was counting on you to live well in the city and contribute well to our family in the future! Your father hasn't been able to make money in recent years, and your brother is still young, so he still needs to save money to get married in the future."
"Mom, I understand." Ran Lijuan nodded seriously. She was ignorant.
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Ranjiaba suddenly rang out in the yard.
"Auntie, uncle, why are you here?"
Ran Lijuan took a look and saw that it was her parents-in-law!
Ran's mother hurried out, "In-laws!"
"Where's Juan'er?" Zhang Xiulan anxiously asked her daughter-in-law. "Sister, I think you already know the situation. Qingdong hasn't returned home since they had a fight. I went to the construction site to check on him, and he's busy right now! So the two of us old guys came to pick Juan'er up."
"Oh no! Why would you even make this trip? She just came back to visit because she missed home. She's planning to go back to the city tomorrow!"
Ran Lijuan didn't expect that her parents-in-law would care about her so much.
It’s really wrong to make my parents-in-law worry about me.
Ran Lijuan's eyes were red, "Mom and Dad, come inside and sit down!"
"Hey Juan'er, I'm not saying good things about my son. He's my son. He's never had any crooked thoughts since he was little. He's a good man who lives a down-to-earth life. If he really dares to do something to let you down, even if I don't recognize him as my son, I will have to recognize you as my daughter-in-law!"
Zhang Xiulan said earnestly, "Your return really scared the two children at home! Haohao cries and makes a fuss for his mother every day."
