"You and Zhu Hua have been married for twenty years. Your two children have not yet started their own families. You are not young anymore. It is not appropriate to divorce at this time."
"Even if you get divorced, you can only bring back one of Tuantuan and Yuanyuan. The child is in his second year of high school now. How will you and your child live in the future?"
"When your child gets married, you will have to buy him a house and move him out. Where will the money come from?"
Song's mother said a series of things, and she was most opposed to her eldest daughter's divorce.
Wang Shuyi was unhappy. "Our family is well off now. We can afford it. We have a place to live. We don't need to move."
Wang Jianguo frowned, "We have a place to live now, but when the children grow up, there won't be enough. If you really divorce Zhu Hua, your family will use their connections to find you a job in the factory, and you will have to raise your own children. Your brother and sister-in-law will have to pay living expenses to the family every month, and you are no exception."
Wang Shuyi opened his mouth slightly, "I'm already so old, Dad, you still want me to go to work?"
Wang Jianguo scolded, "How old are you? You're not even 40. You're divorced. If you don't work, where will the money come from? Don't expect me and your mother to help you. Your sister is away from home all year round and she still sends money to us two old people. Your mother and I feel sorry for you and didn't ask you for it, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't give it to her. It's already unfair. No one should use Xiaoning's money to support his sister and nephew."
Wang Shuyi's eyes widened, "Dad, how could you be so cruel to me!"
Wang Jianguo: "I'm cruel to you? It was you who didn't want to go to the countryside and married Zhu Hua without telling the whole family. You got pregnant before marriage, which not only brought shame to our Wang family, but also caused your mother to suffer for decades. She did the most tiring work and got less salary than others every month. Your sister couldn't come back easily after going to the countryside, which made her still unmarried. I haven't settled all this with you yet."
Wang Shuyi raised his chin suddenly. "If Xiao Ning hadn't gone to the countryside, she could have been a teacher on the island. If she had gotten married, it would have been impossible for her to go to college, let alone become a big boss now."
Song's mother stood up and said, "Your sister is where she is now thanks to her own efforts. She almost lost her life several times on Jinshan Island. Have you forgotten that?"
Wang Shuyi's eyes were slightly moist. "Xiao Ning is so rich now anyway, so what's the harm in raising another sister and nephew?"
Wang Jianguo looked at her in disbelief. He had never thought that such words would come out of his eldest daughter's mouth, and it was so natural. The Zhu family had tolerated her for so many years, so they should not get a divorce.
"If you are divorced and live with your children in your parents' home, you must pay for food. Otherwise, your brother and sister-in-law will not be dissatisfied. As parents, you have to treat both Tuantuan and Yuanyuan equally. When they are no longer in school and start working, you can move out."
Wang Shuyi bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.
When Wang Shuning drove to the clinic, he happened to see Zhu Huayuan carrying an old man coming out.
Zhu Hua and others followed behind.
Wang Shuning opened the car door and got out, then walked over and shouted, "Brother-in-law, my dad knows that Auntie's legs are not convenient, so he asked me to drive over to pick you up and take you home."
Zhu Hua looked at Wang Shuning. His sister-in-law didn't come back last year. Compared with his shrewish wife, she looked too young.
"No need, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are here, we can carry them back."
"This place is quite far from your house. It's not convenient to carry it with you. I'm here now, so get in the car."
Zhu Hua was still hesitating when his eldest son spoke up, "Dad, grandpa and grandma are tired."
He thought about it and nodded, "Thank you for the trouble."
The two old men sat in the back and Zhu Hua sat in the front. The back seat could not accommodate two 19-year-old boys, so only one could sit.
Zhu Hua said to his youngest son, "Go back."
Zhu Huayuan nodded, turned around and walked quickly towards home without any rebuttal.
Through the rearview mirror, Wang Shuning glanced at Zhu Huatuan.
Zhu Hua's mother looked at Wang Shuning who was driving. She wondered why the two sisters were so different. One only knew how to rely on men for support, kept her son's salary in her hands, and even coveted her father-in-law's pension.
The other one drives a car and is a boss. People who don’t know them say it’s not surprising that there is a dozen years’ difference between the two of them.
The Wang family has become wealthy thanks to their youngest daughter. Maybe she can help Tuantuan and Yuanyuan find a job after they graduate from high school. If they get divorced, wouldn't they be offending their family?
But if they don't divorce, how long will these two old people have to endure such an unfilial daughter-in-law?
After Wang Shuning sent Zhu's family back, he drove away.
Zhu Hua looked at his eldest son and asked, "Did your grandmother's family say anything?"
"Grandpa didn't seem to approve of Mom's divorce. Huayuan and I ran back after we learned that grandma's leg was injured. We didn't hear what she said afterwards."
In the car, Zhu Huatuan's mind was spinning in a whirlwind of thoughts. When they left, he didn't know that grandma's leg was broken.
My grandfather clearly intended to blame my mother.
He originally thought that if the two of them divorced, he and his brother would follow their mother back to their grandfather's house, and their lives would definitely be better than they are now.
What's more, my aunt is in her thirties and has not yet married. If she doesn't have children in the future, perhaps part of the property will fall on me.
But the current situation may not be what I want.
If he and his brother followed their mother away from the Zhu family under such circumstances, they would probably be branded as unfilial, and their grandparents would not like them either.
I think they have no conscience.
But if my parents divorce and don't take me with them, it will only do me harm and no good.
In that case, let’s just not leave.
Zhu Hua's father has calmed down: "Don't divorce for now. Even if you want to divorce, you have to wait until you find a job and both children are married and have their own families."
He and his wife are old and in poor health. If their son and daughter-in-law divorce, who will take care of the two children?
The family now has no other income except for their pension, and their two children’s academic performance is not good. Finding a job after graduating from high school and the dowry for marrying a wife are not trivial matters.
No matter how bad Wang Shuyi is, she is still the daughter of the Wang family, and they have to help with their grandson's affairs.
Seeing how successful my in-laws' little daughter is now, it will be enough for her to show a little bit between her fingers in the future.
Zhu Hua's mother objected, "What if they don't divorce and come back with the same attitude? We two old people can tolerate it, but look at what our son has been beaten into."
No matter how old children are, they are still the apple of their parents’ eyes. How can they not feel sorry for them?
"If she doesn't come back and you can't move your legs, who will do the housework? Can you take care of the two children?"
Zhu Hua's mother closed her mouth and couldn't stop crying. If she had known this would happen, she should not have let Wang Shuyi in.
Zhu Hua's father looked at Zhu Hua, "What do you think?"
Whether they can get along or not depends mainly on the couple.
Zhu Hua frowned and said, "Dad is right. I also said some unpleasant things this morning, otherwise she wouldn't have fought like that."
