Chapter 91 Reminiscence
Meng Yitong also gradually noticed that something was wrong among the crowd.
As soon as dinner was over and they returned to the room, Meng Yitong pulled Qin Zhuoran aside and asked about the matters between her parents-in-law.
In fact, if possible, Meng Yitong would rather ask someone else.
But it’s a pity that the Qin family’s confidentiality measures were too good, and outsiders knew very limited information about these old news.
From the mouths of Meng's mother, Liu Siyu and others, Meng Yitong only knew that Zhuo's mother gave birth to Qin Zhuoran nearly 10 years after marrying into the Qin family.
They lived without children for nearly 10 years, but suddenly divorced when Qin Zhuoran was four years old.
This made everyone feel incredible.
Many people speculated that Qin's father had an affair during the marriage, and Qin Zhuoran's mother could not tolerate any sand in her eyes, so she chose to divorce directly.
But as far as Meng Yitong knows, the current Mrs. Qin only appeared a year after Qin's father divorced.
And it seems that Qin's father doesn't like her very much.
Comparing the way Qin's father acted in front of Zhuo's mother, Meng Yitong was very skeptical. Would Qin's father really divorce Meng's mother for such a woman?
Qin Zhuoran couldn't help but pursed his lips when he heard Meng Yitong's question.
Although he didn't want to talk about the relationship between his parents, the person who asked the question was Meng Yitong, and Qin Zhuoran felt that he still had an obligation to explain to her the relationship between his parents.
"My parents divorced because of their different values."
"ah?"
Meng Yitong was a little surprised when she heard this. This is too vague, it's like saying nothing.
Seeing Meng Yitong's disgusted look, Qin Zhuoran paused and explained: "It's not because of a third party."
"oh."
In fact, Meng Yitong didn’t particularly believe what Qin Zhuoran said.
Many people think that family disgrace should not be made public, and children generally do not talk about their parents' faults.
When talking about their parents, many people can't help but embellish them.
Meng Yitong has seen a lot of things like this.
During the time at the law firm, all the clients Meng Yitong met would constantly glorify themselves or their loved ones in their descriptions of the case.
This is human nature.
Although she didn't quite believe it, with no other choice, Meng Yitong could only extract the answers she wanted to know from Qin Zhuoran's limited words.
Seeing Meng Yitong start to think wildly again, Qin Zhuoran sighed and continued to explain: "My father hoped that my mother would give up her career, return to the family, and have children."
"My mother didn't want to be a reproductive machine, so she chose to divorce."
"Ah? That's it?"
Meng Yitong was stunned by Qin Zhuoran's brief answer.
"But weren't you already born?" Meng Yitong continued to ask in disbelief.
Meng Yitong had heard a long time ago that it was difficult for the Qin family to have offspring, so the extent to which their family cared about their offspring was extremely exaggerated.
Under such circumstances, Zhuo's mother must have been under tremendous psychological pressure as she had been married into the Qin family for 10 years without having any children. If the divorce happened at this time because of this, Meng Yitong could still understand it.
But they already have a child, why would they get divorced because of this? !
Meng Yitong was very suspicious that Qin Zhuoran was fooling her.
Curious Meng Yitong has already made up her mind. She plans to take some time tomorrow to ask her grandmother.
"It seems that my mother was pregnant again when I was four years old, but I don't know the details." Qin Zhuoran obviously didn't want to continue talking about this topic.
After answering Meng Yitong's question, Qin Zhuoran changed the subject and talked about tomorrow's arrangements without waiting for her to continue speaking.
Meng Yitong agreed with Qin Zhuoran's words, but she had her own plans in mind.
Meng Yitong had an idea and got up early the next day, which was a rare opportunity.
After strolling around the manor for a while, Meng Yitong indeed found Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin in the backyard.
The old couple who were exercising were very happy to see Meng Yitong coming.
Grandma Qin even put down the Tai Chi sword in her hand, walked over, and asked about Meng Yitong's sleep with concern.
Meng Yitong, who was just looking for an opportunity to talk to Grandma Qin alone, saw this and hurriedly took Grandma Qin's arm and walked to the greenhouse next door.
"What's wrong?" Grandma Qin, who was held so intimately by a younger generation for the first time, also felt very curious. Looking at Meng Yitong's sneaky appearance, he asked with an amused look on his face.
"Nothing, I just want to chat with grandma."
Meng Yitong looked around and saw that Qin's father and Zhuo's mother were not there, and she finally felt relieved.
Looking at Meng Yitong's expression, Grandma Qin roughly guessed what she wanted to ask.
Grandma Qin picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for herself and Meng Yitong respectively, then picked up her own cup and said slowly: "If you have any questions, ask."
Meng Yitong couldn't help but smile awkwardly when her little thoughts were seen through, but curiosity finally prevailed.
Meng Yitong still asked with a shameless face: "Hehehe, grandma guessed it, hehehehe, I just want to know why dad and mom divorced in the first place."
"Hehehe, mainly because I saw that the way Dad and Mom interacted with each other was very strange yesterday."
"Oh!" Grandma Qin couldn't help but sigh when she heard that.
After a moment's silence, Grandma Qin finally began to speak slowly.
"Zhuoran's mother also suffered a lot of grievances in those years."
"In the Qin family, childbirth is difficult. It seems to be a must for every woman."
"It's not just Zhuoran's mother. I also married into the Qin family for several years before I had your father."
"When Zhuoran's mother got married, she began the hard work of preparing for pregnancy. I guess this house can't even hold all the Chinese medicine she drank over the years."
Hearing this, Meng Yitong also glanced at the greenhouse which was about 50 square meters.
When Meng Yitong thought about having to take so many Chinese medicines, her stomach began to churn.
"After finally having Zhuoran, your father heard that foreign medical technology has made it possible to do in vitro fertilization."
"He was so eager to have a child that he contacted an authority on the subject and made an appointment without consulting your mother."
"Your mother felt that her human rights were not respected, and she didn't want to be a reproductive machine, so she chose to divorce."
As Grandma Qin spoke, Meng Yitong's mouth opened wider and wider.
Although Meng Yitong had long known that it was difficult for the Qin family to have children and that they liked children, she could never imagine that her loving and kind father-in-law would be so cruel and insane when he was young.
You have to know that even today, when artificial in vitro fertilization technology has become very advanced, it is still very painful for women to undergo in vitro fertilization.
It is easy to imagine how shocked Mother Zhuo was when Father Qin made this request twenty or thirty years ago.
Especially since they already had a child, Dad Qin could still make this request. Mom Zhuo must have seen through it completely at the time.
