Divorce? Not a possibility.
Divorce is not an option either.
At the very least, the law at that time did not recognize divorce or separation from a spouse.
Therefore, when a man and a woman can no longer live together, the only option is to separate.
Well, there's another way: death.
Liu Shile felt that her adoptive mother was a bit ruthless, and that she might have started to have some ideas after realizing that she couldn't control the family.
She genuinely didn't understand what her adoptive mother was trying to do.
Although she wasn't very friendly to her siblings before, she still cared a lot about her father, her husband.
What caused her to suddenly change her attitude?
Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it for now. Anyway, things will eventually come to light eventually.
Liu Weisong wasn't stupid; he was so immersed in the joy of his son being alive that he didn't think much of it.
But after hearing his daughter's words, he couldn't help but think more deeply.
However, he had no idea what they had encountered on the way, let alone that they had almost not made it back.
So although he was unhappy and his face darkened, he did not question his wife.
When he heard her sobbing and explaining, he just sighed and waved his hand weakly, saying, "Alright, Sumei, stop crying. I'm not blaming you."
It's impossible not to blame him, but what can he do in front of the children? Beat or scold his wife?
To be honest, he lived a rather pathetic life. After getting married, his wife scolded him more often, but never hit him.
"Really? Old Liu, you really don't blame me?" Zhang Sumei's face showed joy and a hint of uncertainty, as if she couldn't believe it.
She had a good grasp of Liu Weisong's personality and knew how to dispel his suspicions and extinguish his anger.
See? All she did was cry a little, and he obediently forgave her.
Liu Shile was truly speechless. Thank goodness she'd thought her dad's personality had changed a bit, but look what happened!
Well, this isn't how she lives, so they like all sorts of things.
As long as they don't provoke her, she won't meddle in other people's business anymore.
Because in her opinion, her father seemed like a hopeless case.
He could have used this incident to vent his anger and seize control of the household.
But he didn't do that; instead, he chose to forgive!
Although he made this decision because he was unaware of what he would encounter on the road, it ultimately came down to his soft nature.
Well, it's said that there used to be a name for him called "baozi" (steamed bun). Liu Shile thinks her dad is like a baozi, the kind that can be molded by anyone.
Seeing that her eldest sister and second brother both looked stunned, Liu Shile didn't say anything more.
I'm too lazy to say anything more.
Stunned by the news, Liu Shixi snapped out of her daze and was about to ask something when she saw her parents make up. She swallowed the words she was about to say.
If even Dad doesn't blame Mom, what right does she have to question her?
Sometimes Liu Shixi really didn't understand why her father was so accommodating to her mother.
Yes, it's not wrong for a man to give in to a woman, but isn't Dad's almost indulgent attitude a bit too much?
You know, last time Mom almost threw away my little brother who wasn't even a year old!
When Dad found out, he didn't say anything, but he just spent more time on his younger brother.
This time, Mom went even further. From what my sister said, Dad's leg might get better, but it would cost a lot of money. She asked Mom for money, but Mom didn't send any.
That concerns Dad's future. Mom was so heartless, yet Dad easily forgave her after hearing her flimsy excuse that even a child wouldn't believe.
It's not that she's unfilial, but that she feels her parents are doing something very wrong!
However, looking at her parents who were talking, Liu Shixi suddenly didn't know what to say.
Seeing her younger sister sitting to the side, seemingly lost in thought, Liu Shixi felt utterly exhausted.
Why did my home become like this?
She felt that her home no longer seemed like a home, and that it was falling apart.
Liu Shihua wanted to say something, but Liu Shile kicked him. He didn't say anything, but he felt uncomfortable, a little sad, and a little helpless.
At this moment, Liu Weisong almost dared not look the children in the eye, because he knew very well what the consequences of his actions would be.
"You can leave now. Your mother and I have something to discuss." He sighed and waved for them to leave.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shile got up and left without saying a word, without lingering for a moment, which made Liu Weisong feel uneasy.
But he didn't say anything. After watching the children leave, he stared at Zhang Sumei intently.
"Old Liu, why are you looking at me like that?" Zhang Sumei recovered quickly; after the initial panic, she had calmed down.
So although she looks very nervous now, she is actually not afraid of Liu Weisong losing his temper.
Liu Weisong looked at it for a long time, but finally shook his head. "It's nothing, I just feel that you've changed."
His voice was soft and sounded a little hoarse, but his expression was calm, as if he were saying something completely ordinary.
Zhang Sumei's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but she did not show any panic; instead, she looked aggrieved.
"Yes, I have changed. I was forced to change by your good son and daughter!"
Look at what they've become! They never respect me, their mother, anymore!
I am their mother. No matter how wrong I am, I am still their mother, and they should listen to whatever I say!
But as you've seen over the past year or so, he talks back to me every now and then. Do you think I can't change?
If we're talking about big changes, I think your good daughter has changed a lot more; she's like a completely different person!
Zhang Sumei was no pushover; she quickly turned the tables and shifted the blame, even diverting attention elsewhere.
She was right; over the past year, the children had indeed talked back to her from time to time.
But Liu Weisong wasn't stupid; he understood perfectly why the children acted that way, and most importantly, their attitude wasn't actually bad.
They were just offering some different perspectives, so Liu Weisong didn't think they had done anything wrong.
Seeing Zhang Sumei's extreme excitement, Liu Weisong didn't say anything. He had realized that if he said a word, his wife would have ten words to argue with him.
He spent quite a while sitting in the car on the way back, and although he had slept well the night before, he was still a little tired.
So he waved his hand and said, "Don't take it to heart with the kids. They're still young. I'm a little tired. I'll take a nap first. Call me when it's time to eat."
He didn't want to delve any deeper into the matter, and after saying that, he closed his eyes. At that moment, he was still in a wheelchair.
His reaction infuriated Zhang Sumei, who had originally planned to seize this opportunity to get all the wages from that brat.
It seems that this won't work now, but that's okay, there's plenty of time in the future!
Thinking this way, Zhang Sumei's mood wasn't so bad anymore, and she was also quite glad that her husband was useless.
Otherwise, based on what she did this time, she'd probably be in deep trouble.
