Shen Wanhua took out the passbook from his pocket and put it on the bedside table, sighed helplessly, and then turned around and walked out.
After the death of the old man of the Li family, the three brothers already had their own houses.
After the divorce, considering that it would be inconvenient for Li Jing to move back to her parents' home, the house was left to her. It was not clear who would take care of the three daughters, but they all lived there.
In the past, they both had jobs, and Li Jing’s salary was a little less than Shen Wanhua’s, and most of it was used for family life.
Both of them worked in the government, with very good salaries and benefits, and Shen Wanhua saved all his salary.
Li Jing also had a strong personality, and her family was well off, so after she got the house, she gave all the family savings to Shen Wanhua.
As for the tuition and living expenses of their three daughters, the two agreed that each would pay half, and as for the rest, it all depends on their own wishes.
And now that Li Jing has lost her job, she definitely needs these savings more than he does.
After all, they have a child together. Shen Wanhua currently lives with the old man and has no plans to remarry in the future. He can't watch Li Jingzhen being forced into a desperate situation.
Shen Wanhua returned to the yard, and Shen Yuexin wanted to cry again, but was stopped by Shen Yueqing.
Thinking of what her second sister had just said, she was afraid that crying any further would annoy Shen Wanhua, so Shen Yuexin could only stop crying and sob quietly.
In the past, Li Jing had been in charge of the family’s children, and Shen Wanhua rarely intervened except for general education.
Of course, Shen Xiangzhi is different.
At this moment, looking at his crying little daughter, Shen Wanhua also felt distressed.
Walking over and patting the back of Shen Yuexin's head, he tried to soften his voice, "Yuexin, you are already a big kid, and it's not easy for your mother to serve you all day. You have to listen to your mother more in the future, and don't be petty anymore, understand?"
"Well..." Shen Yuexin nodded desperately, "I will be obedient in the future, and I will never be willful again. Dad, can you come back? I want you to come back..."
Shen Wanhua did not agree, but said: “How about this, you be obedient, when the weather gets hot in a few days, Dad will take you sisters to the mall, okay?”
Shen Yuexin was still young, and could not hear the refusal in his words. She just thought that Shen Wanhua still loved them, and nodded hurriedly, "Well, I will definitely be obedient. Then let's take mom with us, okay?"
In the past, it was Li Jing who took them there, and Shen Wanhua rarely participated, but she stubbornly believed from the bottom of her heart that as long as they went together, they would still be a family.
Shen Wanhua didn’t say whether he agreed or disagreed, he just patted her on the shoulder twice to comfort her, and then left.
"Yueqing, take care of Yuexin. I'm going to go talk to dad." Shen Yuewan said as she chased after him.
Outside the door, Shen Wanhua had just started pushing her bicycle when she heard Shen Yuewan chasing after her and asking her, "Dad, you and Mom, can't you really get remarried?"
Shen Wanhua paused, turned around and asked her, "Yue Wan, marriage is not something you can separate if you want to divorce, or get back together if you want to. The conflict between your mother and I has been going on for a long time. Even if we remarry, we will quarrel all day long. It's better to be like this now, everyone is calmer. As for the future, no one can predict it, so we can only wait until later. You are older, and Dad doesn't want to fool you like he did to Yue Xin. Your uncles are in trouble, and your mother has been feeling bad these days. It just so happens that school hasn't started yet, so you sisters should spend more time with her."
"But we still want mom and dad to be together, that's a complete family." Shen Yuewan is gentle by nature and rarely acts willfully.
Now that her family reunion is involved, she also wants to put aside her self-esteem and pride and have a good cry like Yue Xin.
But she knew very well in her heart that some things could not be achieved by crying.
Shen Wanhua smiled self-deprecatingly, "Dad understands your feelings. In fact, the conflicts in our family over the years have always been caused by Dad. It is also Dad's inaction. In exchange for temporary peace in the family, he has given in to your mother step by step, which has made her increasingly unable to tolerate your brother. Dad has been thinking about it these days and has been regretting it. If he had been firm in his original intention when your mother and your brother had their first conflict, and had not helped either side and faced these problems, perhaps our family would not have been torn apart today. Yuewan, Dad feels sorry for you sisters for divorcing your mother, but after thinking about it carefully these days, he feels even more sorry for your eldest brother, do you know?"
When Xiangzhi was brought out by the old man, he was just that old. He cried and argued with him out of grievance, always saying that he was not wrong and refused to admit it even after being beaten.
And how did he do it?
After coaxing his wife, he then coaxed his son. It seemed that he did not offend either side, but in fact, he offended both sides and no one got what he wanted.
It also gave them the illusion that whoever has the loudest voice and makes the most noise is right.
Shen Yuewan didn’t persuade her anymore, because she already knew Shen Wanhua’s answer.
Actually, what her father said made sense. Instead of quarreling together, it would be better to separate temporarily and let both of them calm down.
I just don’t know if this family will have the chance to reunite again in the future.
As for the eldest brother, she always knew that he didn't actually like her and her sisters, and the only sibling affection they had was forced upon him by them.
But she couldn't blame anyone. Her eldest brother just didn't like to go home before. He loved her and her sisters and would secretly bring them delicious and fun things.
Ever since my second uncle led people to raid the Su family, my eldest brother has been unwilling to get close to them.
Shen Yuewan originally felt very sorry that she couldn't go with Yueqing to see her nephew because of trivial matters at home, but now she thinks that she should not go.
Maybe, it's just their wishful thinking and no one wants them to go.
Li Jing woke up and looked at the passbook on the table and couldn't help crying again.
She didn't know what she was fighting for, it seemed like she just didn't want to give up.
As for the family's money and house, she doesn't care that much.
When her father was alive, he left her some money and property, but no one knew about it except her.
Shen Wanhua looked down on the history of their Li family's rise to wealth from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't dare to say it, so she kept it a secret.
When they divorced, Shen Wanhua thought she had nowhere to go so he gave her the house. She was annoyed with him, thinking that if she didn’t want it, she would give it to his son anyway, so she might as well take it.
But looking at the passbook in front of her, she felt indescribable regret in her heart.
It seemed as if she had destroyed with her own hands the happiness that she had worked so hard to obtain.
At that time, she thought that as long as she could marry him, she would be willing to do anything.
But she didn't know when, she wanted more and more.
Gradually, she could no longer tolerate his concern for others and only wanted to see him devote himself wholeheartedly to her and her daughters.
