"I don't want money, Mom. I'm so tired of living!"
"Stop crying. How will we live without money? I'm doing this for your own good. It's not like I'm taking the money from you. Just listen to me. Come back here first, and let's discuss this as a family!" Song Xuemei instructed.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ergou could be heard asking over the phone.
“Xiaoyan miscarried. Tell me about this, she couldn’t even save a child. Well, it’s a one-off deal, she can make more money. I’m just afraid the Lu family will cause trouble later.” Song Xuemei turned her head and said.
"Making a scene? Break his leg. Bring Xiaoyan back; that child has suffered too much," Jiang Ergou ordered.
Jiang Xiaoyan listened to the muttering on the phone, but her mood didn't improve. Perhaps in this family, the only one who could treat his two daughters equally was Jiang Ergou.
Of course, this is assuming we don't count her two older brothers.
"Go home first!" Song Xuemei ordered her.
"I'm going back now, Duoduo is going to school..."
"Why worry about so much? Take care of yourself first. He's not your child. Alright, I'll have your dad pick you up from the airport tomorrow." Song Xuemei's words left no room for discussion, and she hung up immediately after speaking.
Zhang Fengxia was right; she was like a vine, always needing a big tree to be her backbone.
Lu Feng couldn't sleep until morning. He could handle the ever-changing business world, but he was completely helpless when it came to her closed and complicated heart.
In the morning, after sending Duoduo to school, Lu Feng bought breakfast and came back home. As soon as he got home, he saw her packing a bag, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Lu Feng asked.
"I........"
“Let’s break up. You can find someone better. If you want, you can find someone a hundred times better than me. I’m not good enough for you. You don’t need to comfort me or say those things. I understand all the big principles. If… if you feel guilty for beating me for those two years, then the affluent life we’ve had in those two years has already made up for everything. We’re even.”
Jiang Xiaoyan's eyes reddened as she spoke.
"I'm not good enough for you. Being by your side fills me with anxiety and fear. I constantly think, 'Who am I? How can I face those people?' It's torture for me. Their gossip behind my back is agonizing. One look from your parents when I go home for the New Year could kill me!!!"
"Then we won't go back for the New Year," Lu Feng said, looking at her.
"Don't be like this. The better you are, the more uncomfortable I feel. What have I done to deserve this?" Jiang Xiaoyan slung her bag over her shoulder and said, "I want to go home. By the way, we didn't get a marriage certificate back then, so there's no need for a divorce. Let's go our separate ways. Duoduo will stay with you. You have money, and she has a bright future."
"You've been thinking about this all night, and this is all you've come up with?"
“Fengxia is a very good person, and she’s a good match for you. I’m probably the stupidest woman in the world to introduce someone to my man. But I hope you’re doing well, I long for you to be doing well. I feel that as long as you’re doing well, I’d be happy even if I died.”
"You're not here anymore, how the hell am I supposed to be happy? Your brain, oh my god, you really... are you trying to drive me crazy? Huh!!! Jiang Xiaoyan, are you trying to drive me crazy? Do you only stop making a fuss when I die right here? Don't you understand all the things I've said to you?"
"ah!!"
"Do you really have to do things the way you think? I've already told you, I don't care. Just relax and don't listen. You just do what you think!"
Lu Feng swore and smashed the breakfast he was holding on the ground.
"Hit me!" Jiang Xiaoyan said.
Many people in the alley came out of their doors to see what was going on. When they saw that it was Lu Feng and his wife arguing, Grandpa Hong stepped out and said in the tone of an elder, "What are you arguing about so early in the morning!"
"This has nothing to do with you, get out!!" Lu Feng shouted.
Grandpa Hong turned around and walked back, muttering to himself, "I won't stoop to the level of young people."
Jiang Xiaoyan didn't speak, she just stood there, her mind already made up.
Lu Feng took a deep breath. Perhaps he should give her some time and space. He said, "Go back to your parents' home if you want. Stay for a while, find someone to talk to. Don't put too much worldly pressure on yourself. I'm not a worldly person. I'll take you to the airport."
"I'll take a taxi myself!"
As Jiang Xiaoyan spoke, she stepped out of the gate and walked towards the alley entrance, where many people were already whispering among themselves.
"What's up so early in the morning?"
"What's all the noise about? What happened to Lu Feng's family this time?"
"Jiang Xiaoyan lost her child and was kicked out. Look how tragic her fate is!"
