Chapter 53 No One Knows a Child Better Than His Mother
"Not yet..." Su Houli didn't expect that his mother was not concerned about his divorce, but whether he had become the deputy director. Xu Yuxiang was puzzled when she heard it, "Then why are you in such a hurry to get a divorce? Isn't it bad for you to get a divorce at this time?"
"That's what I said." Su Houli didn't know how to tell her for a moment, so he simply told her what Gao Meifeng meant. "Mom, I can't just think about myself. I have to think about Meifeng too. She's a woman with a child, and she's helpless..."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Yuxiang was stunned for a moment, then said in disbelief, "It's not you who left her helpless. She had a bad fate and her husband died. What does it have to do with you? The deputy director position is still unresolved, so why are you suddenly asking for a divorce? What if your company finds out and your promotion is ruined?"
Su Houli was speechless for a moment after hearing what his mother said. After a while, he said, "Mom, you don't understand..."
"Did Chen Guilan know something?" Xu Yuxiang couldn't help but lower her voice and asked cautiously, "If she has heard anything, you must deny it to the death. I know her best. Just coax her and she'll be fine."
Chen Guilan is as soft as a persimmon.
She couldn't stir up any waves.
"Mom, it's not because of her." Su Houli knew that he couldn't communicate these things with his mother. Xu Yuxiang was anxious, "It's not this, it's not that. What is the reason? Is it because of Jiaojiao?"
That damn girl is more of a hindrance than a help.
There should be no one else except her.
"This matter really has something to do with Jiaojiao." Su Houli became angry when Su Jiaojiao was mentioned. "She bullied Gao Meifeng's daughter at school and made such a fuss that everyone in the school knew about it. Gao Meifeng got so angry that she said she wanted to break up with me."
"Just because of such a small matter, you want to come back for a divorce?" Xu Yuxiang looked at Su Houli with wide eyes, as if she didn't know him. "No matter what, Jiaojiao is still a child. It's normal for children to quarrel with each other. If Gao Meifeng can't even stand up to such a small matter, why is she still arguing with you? Don't forget, it's her who is unwanted now, not you."
When Su Houli heard this, he fell silent.
I have to admit that what Xu Yuxiang said makes sense.
But she gave him a month's deadline. If he disappointed her again, it would not just be a cold war, but they would really break up. He was unwilling to accept that.
"Hou Li, is it Gao Meifeng who urged you to come back and get a divorce?" A mother knows a son best. Xu Yuxiang knew it had something to do with that woman when she saw Su Hou Li's hesitation. She grew increasingly angry as she spoke, "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already meddling in your affairs. If you were married, she'd definitely control you like a shill. Nothing in the world is as important as work. How could she care about you if you were just a lowly employee?"
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Su Houli couldn't bear to listen any longer and scolded, "I'm not the deputy factory director now, but she has been following me for a long time, right?"
Gao Meifeng is not that kind of person.
He is still clear about this.
"Oh, mother doesn't understand your situation. You should discuss it with your sister!" This time it was Xu Yuxiang's turn to be confused. She rubbed her forehead and said casually, "If you get divorced, Chen Guilan can't live here. It's just right for me to move in with you. Anyway, you and Gao Meifeng both work in the city and don't come back often, so I'll just look after your house."
"That's a story for later." Su Houli didn't think too much about it. He didn't tell Xu Yuxiang about his falling out with Su Xiumei. He just told her, "Don't tell my sister about this first. It won't help her if she knows."
"It's such a big deal, how can your sister handle it?" Xu Yuxiang looked at Su Houli strangely. "Although divorce is not a glorious thing, it is also a big deal. It's not a game. It can't be concealed, and there's no need to hide it."
If Su Houli was a farmer in the village, she would certainly not agree to his divorce.
But he had already moved his household registration and became a city dweller. She had no objection to him finding a city wife to live with. People tend to go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Over the years, the relationship between Su Houli and Chen Guilan had become more and more distant. She had seen it and had no objection to him leaving her.
"I'll go home and tell Chen Guilan about this." Su Houli couldn't communicate with Xu Yuxiang, so he got up and went home. The door was locked and Chen Guilan was not at home. Su Houli was inexplicably angry. It was so late, where did this woman go?
He had no choice but to go back and ask Xu Yuxiang: "Mom, why is Chen Guilan not at home?"
"Oh, I know." Feng Yuefen listened for a long time and gloated, "I heard that her second sister-in-law suddenly fainted at home, and Guilan went to the hospital with her second brother."
"They have so many family matters." Su Houli frowned and rode his bicycle back to the unit overnight. The factory was busy and he couldn't skip work because of this. He was in the probation period and the leaders were keeping an eye on him!
Xu Yuxiang still couldn't keep her composure.
The next morning, I went to the village committee and called Su Xiumei. Su Xiumei said coldly, "Mom, you don't need to tell me about this. Whether he gets a divorce or not has nothing to do with me. Don't tell me about your affairs in the future."
"Xiumei, what's wrong with you?" Xu Yuxiang was confused when she heard the wrong tone of her voice. "Did you have a fight with Houli?"
"How dare I argue with him? He's so capable now!" Su Xiumei was furious when she thought of what happened that day. She said disdainfully, "Tell him to pay the money back as soon as he gets his salary. There's no reason for our family to buy that bicycle for him."
If Su Houli doesn't return the money, Liang Kun will definitely make a fuss.
Whenever Liang Kun makes a fuss, the couple feels uneasy. Liang Wencai hasn't spoken to her for several days.
Although it is normal for couples to quarrel, she could not bear Liang Wencai misunderstanding her because of Su Houli's trivial matter. Liang Wencai always felt that she was biased towards Su Houli.
"What does this have to do with bicycles?" Xu Yuxiang had no idea what Su Xiumei was talking about. "Who bought a bicycle?"
"Forget it, you don't know, so I won't tell you." Su Xiumei hung up the phone directly. It was none of her business whether he wanted to divorce or not. Liang Kun was changing his shoes at the door and asked casually, "Uncle wants a divorce?"
"It's nothing, don't ask." Su Xiumei didn't want to tell Liang Kun about this. When she thought about Liang Kun and Su Jiaojiao's relationship, she told Liang Kun, "It's not our family's business, let's not ask about it, and don't tell Su Jiaojiao."
If that girl knew about this, she would make a big fuss again.
Su Xiumei got a headache whenever she thought of Su Jiaojiao, and she never wanted to see her again.
"Okay, I won't tell her." Liang Kun agreed and rode his motorcycle to Jiaoxian No. 1 Middle School. He gave the security guard two cigarettes, and the security guard hurried over to call Su Jiaojiao out. Su Jiaojiao had just finished her morning self-study class and was about to go to class after breakfast. Liang Kun made his point clear and simple, "Your father wants to divorce your mother. Be prepared."
