Chapter 611: My biological mother is the heroine of the stepmother novel (1)
"Chu Chu, if I divorce your father, who do you want to be with?" As soon as Shi Chu entered this world, she heard a gentle and graceful female voice asking her.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a pretty and slim young woman in front of her. She was bending over and asking her this question seriously.
Shi Chu received all the original owner's memories in the blink of an eye, and immediately understood that now was the time when the original owner's mother wanted to divorce the original owner's father.
"Chu Chu, what are you daydreaming about? Answer your mother. You will leave with your mother, right?" Chen Xue gently shook Shi Chu's body and asked again.
Shi Chu shook her head and said, "No, Mom, I don't want to leave with you."
"Why? Don't you love your mother anymore?" Chen Xue was shocked when she heard Shi Chu's answer. Her eyes instantly turned red. She grabbed Shi Chu's arm and asked.
Shi Chu lowered his eyes, pretending to be sad, and said, "Mom, there is a classmate in my class whose parents divorced and he followed his mother to remarry. He has a very hard life because the man his mother remarried also has children. In order to prevent people from gossiping, his mother treats his stepfather's children very well. Even when his stepfather's children bully him, she doesn't help him. He often comes to school with a bruised face and nose, and he even fainted from hunger once..."
Chen Xue was very sad: "Chu Chu, do you think your mother will become like your classmate's mother? But even if you follow your father, your father will marry a stepmother for you in the future. With a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. When your father and stepmother have their own children, you will definitely be ignored. It will be different if you follow your mother. Mom loves you so much, she will definitely protect you well..."
"Just follow mom. Your dad is not at home all day. He may not show up for ten days or half a month. Aren't you afraid to stay at home alone?" Chen Xue continued to persuade, "Your dad doesn't like you at all. He despises you because you are a girl. If you choose to follow him, you will be very sad in the future. But it's different for mom. You will always be the most important person in mom's heart. Even if I have other children in the future, they will never be as good as you."
"Mom, don't force me. I don't want you and Dad to divorce. Can you not get divorced?" Shi Chu said in a crying voice. She was only six years old at this time, and it was normal for her not to want her parents to get divorced, even though she knew that Chen Xue would never listen to her.
"No, your father and I must divorce. I can't stand him cheating on me with other women." Chen Xue said firmly, obviously having made up her mind.
Shi Chu was crying with her just because he didn't want to discuss this issue with her for the time being, so he just pretended to be crying sadly and didn't say anything else. Seeing this, Chen Xue had no choice but to not force her to make a choice for the time being.
"Okay, okay, Chuchu, don't cry. Mom won't ask you anymore. You play here for a while. Mom is going to cook." After Chen Xue finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to cook.
Shi Chu stopped crying immediately, looked around the house, and immediately realized how wealthy her stepfather was.
It was the mid-1980s, and reform and opening up had already begun for several years. The original owner's biological father, Wu Chengyue, took advantage of this opportunity to start a business and accumulated a considerable fortune in just a few years.
It is said that when one is well fed and clothed, one will think about sex and desire. Wu Chengyue became a different person after he became rich. He was no longer the good man who loved his wife and daughter. He began to play with women, secretly at first, but was soon discovered by the careful Chen Xue. So he simply did it openly, often staying out for ten days or half a month to hang out with women outside.
Chen Xue couldn't stand her husband's infidelity. She was angry and in pain. She ignored the advice of her relatives and friends and decided to divorce Wu Chengyue.
This was the 1980s, and divorce was still a controversial matter, especially for the women involved in the divorce. Public opinion and the social atmosphere were particularly harsh, so almost no woman would choose to divorce, even if her husband was abusive or unfaithful.
But Chen Xue is not an ordinary woman. She is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She cannot accept an unfaithful husband, so she wants to divorce her husband even if no one supports her.
In the original owner's previous life, Chen Xue did successfully divorce Wu Chengyue and took the original owner away, but for various reasons, she soon remarried and married Li Junrong, a man with three sons.
After the original owner followed Chen Xue to remarry, she felt out of place in the Li family. She was a girl, and several years younger than Li Junrong's three sons. Li Junrong's three sons were sensible and remembered their biological mother, so they were very hostile to their stepmother, and even more so to the burden brought by her. Therefore, they often bullied the original owner in places where adults could not see, including pretending to be a ghost to scare her, pinching her, snatching her food, and locking her in a dark attic when the adults were not at home...
The original owner was only a six-year-old child, so she naturally couldn't stand being bullied like this. At the beginning, she would complain to Chen Xue, and Chen Xue would tell Li Junrong and educate Li's three sons. Li Junrong would beat up the three sons and order them to apologize to the original owner. They did apologize, but would bully her back even more afterwards.
The original owner complained again, and the third son of the Li family was beaten again, and then continued to bully the original owner secretly... and so the cycle continued. Although the original owner was young, she had realized that it was useless to complain to her mother, and she would still be bullied, so she began to become autistic, and accepted the bullying of her stepbrothers in order to reduce the number of times they bullied her.
Chen Xue had a job and had to do housework after get off work every day, so she ignored the silent original owner. She thought that since her daughter no longer complained, it meant that she was getting along well with her stepbrothers. However, her three stepsons were naughty and mischievous, so in order to be a good stepmother, she naturally put more energy into educating her stepsons.
The three stepsons gradually put aside their prejudice and hostility towards her, and under her education, they became extremely outstanding and promising. They all got into college and were very filial to her. Everyone praised her as a good stepmother.
However, her biological daughter was taciturn, gloomy and timid. Not only did she have an unpleasant personality, but she was also poor at studying. She was not comparable to her three stepbrothers at all.
Chen Xue was very disappointed and felt that her daughter had inherited her biological father's inferior genes, which was why she was so ordinary or even bad. Otherwise, she thought she treated her four children equally, but why were her three stepsons all promising, while Wu Shichu was not even as good as an ordinary child?
The three stepsons graduated from college one after another, but the original owner couldn't even get into college. He was forced by Chen Xue to repeat a grade. After studying for several years, he still couldn't get into a good university. The original owner finally couldn't bear the tremendous pressure and finally jumped into the river and committed suicide.
Chen Xue was of course very sad about the death of her biological daughter, but the dead cannot be brought back to life. She had the comfort of her caring and loving husband and three filial stepsons, and finally she slowly got over the grief of losing her daughter.
Without the original owner, who was an eyesore and out of place, their family of five could be the warmest and most harmonious family.
