Chapter 133 Divorce (1)
Taotao turned her head and saw a young man wearing black pants and a white shirt, with a thin body but fair skin. He looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.
Um? I don’t know him!
The young man was obviously also very surprised by Taotao's beauty...
He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person. Excuse me... Isn't Liu Yinghong living in this ward?"
Taotao pointed to bed number 2, "She stayed in this bed, but I don't know where she went."
San Ya made a fuss all night last night, and Tao Tao barely slept. She didn't fall asleep until dawn, and she vaguely heard Song Zhi whisper in her ear that he seemed to be going somewhere with Liu Yinghong and her daughter...
But Taotao was too sleepy at that time and didn't hear clearly where Song Zhi accompanied Liu Yinghong to.
So she looked at the young man and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man replied, "I am her lover, Wen Jiaming. I have been on a business trip for the past two days and just returned today."
Taotao nodded, "Oh! Everyone in your family is very capable."
Wen Jiaming was stunned for a moment, guessed something, and became a little uneasy, "Really? Ah... I'm so sorry, I guess that caused you trouble."
Just after saying these two sentences, someone pushed the door open.
Granny Zhang came in with a lunch box of porridge and buns, followed by the sleepy Aunt Dong.
Granny Zhang was stunned when she saw Wen Jiaming, and asked Taotao, "Taotao, is this your brother?"
Tao Tao corrected: "He is Liu Yinghong's husband!"
Granny Zhang said "Oh" and was about to complain to Wen Jiaming about what happened yesterday -
Aunt Dong stuck her head out from behind Granny Zhang. When she saw Wen Jiaming standing in the ward, she was so happy that she pushed Granny Zhang and forced her to make way...
Aunt Dong took the opportunity to squeeze into the ward, and called out "Jia Ming" with tears in her eyes in great surprise. She was about to say "Our Yinghong is so wronged"...
But when I looked at it again, bed number 2 was empty?
Aunt Dong asked in surprise: "Ah? Where's Yinghong? Where's Sanya?"
Granny Zhang staggered after being pushed by Aunt Dong and almost dropped the lunch box in her hand. She turned around and glared at Aunt Dong.
Aunt Dong didn't take Grandma Zhang seriously at all.
Granny Zhang really hates Aunt Dong.
Three pregnant women stayed in the same ward, and the babies made noises at night, but all of this was bearable.
——But, just like Taotao and Song Zhi in bed number 3, as soon as the child made a noise, they immediately got up to take care of him. After cleaning the child’s poop and pee and feeding him milk, the child was coaxed to sleep without disturbing him too much.
Even Grandma Zhang’s own grandson would make a fuss. Grandma Zhang slept soundly at night. Her grandson made a fuss, but she couldn't wake him up. Her daughter-in-law woke her up by shaking her. She quickly got up to take care of her grandson and coaxed him into good health quickly, and everyone could rest again.
As a result, when she woke up this morning, Grandma Zhang saw that her daughter-in-law had two thick dark circles under her eyes.
Granny Zhang was startled and asked, "You didn't sleep all night last night? Did the child make you upset? Why didn't you wake me up?"
The daughter-in-law pointed to bed number 2 and said weakly, "Our baby is not making a fuss, why should I wake you up? It was Yinghong's Sanya who made a fuss all night... Song Zhi had been helping her take care of the child, but her Sanya kept crying. She would stop crying and sleep well when she was held, but she would cry loudly as soon as she was put down on the bed... Later, in order to let Taotao sleep better, Song Zhi held Sanya and sat all night."
Then he closed his eyes and said, "Mom, I'm going to sleep for a while, don't disturb me."
Granny Zhang couldn't help but ask again, "Where are Liu Yinghong and the child now?"
The daughter-in-law said, "Before dawn, Sanya started crying again. Song Zhi tried to comfort her but it didn't work. Liu Yinghong said the baby's crying sounded wrong and she struggled to get up. She asked Song Zhi to hold Sanya for her and went to find a doctor together."
So when she saw Aunt Dong looking extremely worried, Grandma Zhang felt particularly unhappy.
——I know you are not young anymore and you are tired, but aren’t you here to take care of the mother? Why are you not here when your daughter and granddaughter need you the most? You are just sleeping outside? As a result, Song Zhi had to accompany Liu Yinghong and take the child to see a doctor.
So when Granny Zhang heard Aunt Dong asking panickedly why Liu Yinghong and San Ya were missing...
Granny Zhang ignored Aunt Dong and said to Wen Jiaming:
"Hey, your mother and your sister are amazing! They came to our ward last night to make trouble, and scared our baby so much that he cried loudly! You said your family is quite interesting, Liu Yinghong gave birth to three girls in a row... Aren't they all your seeds? Farmers know that you reap what you sow. No matter how fertile her land is, it depends on your seeds. Otherwise, how could she give birth to a girl?"
Wen Jiaming's handsome face turned red instantly.
Granny Zhang continued, "Oh, and your mother and sister didn't let Liu Yinghong feed her own child, so she had to save the milk for your two sisters' children? This is even funnier! I heard that everyone in your family has a stable job and eats public food, so why are you still doing things like in the old society?"
"Only landlords in the old society would hire a wet nurse and not allow her to feed their children! And your family is even worse than the landlords. At least the landlords would pay the wet nurse, but your family didn't give Liu Yinghong a penny!"
"Are you really Liu Yinghong's husband? Do you know how much your wife has been wronged? Do you know that your wife can't even have a hot meal? If it weren't for Xiao Song and Tao Tao's help, your wife would have given birth to your child and could only eat a steamed bun that cost one cent each. And she would have to break a steamed bun in half, one at noon and one at night, and she would be hungry in the morning!"
"Young man, I see that you are well dressed and I heard that you also work in a government agency! Then you must be a young man with knowledge and culture, right? Why do you still have the idea of favoring boys over girls? Your mother gave birth to seven girls before you! Your wife is only the third one, and your whole family is so impatient?"
Granny Zhang is very capable in combat. Her words are like a machine gun, boom, boom, boom...
Aunt Dong tried countless times to stop Granny Zhang from continuing to speak, but failed. She then glared at Granny Zhang with a sour face.
Finally, after Grandma Zhang finished scolding Wen Jiaming, she changed the subject and started scolding Aunt Dong.
"And you! Are you really Liu Yinghong's mother? Are you her biological mother? Why do I feel like you are the grandson of the old lady who was lying yesterday? Or are you actually a dog raised by their family?!"
Aunt Dong was stunned.
Granny Zhang continued to scold, "When your daughter was being trampled underfoot by her in-laws, as a mother, shouldn't you stand up for her? But you helped them push your daughter's head to the ground! They just wanted your daughter to kneel! You wanted your daughter to be trampled underfoot by them!"
"Don't act like 'I'm your biological mother and I only want the best for you'. I'm telling you, Liu Yinghong is even more unlucky to have a biological mother like you than to marry a useless man!"
"Let me ask you, Sanya made a fuss all night last night, and Taotao and my daughter-in-law were kept awake all night by the noise. Where were you? Aren't you here to take care of Liu Yinghong? Why didn't you know about it? Why?"
Aunt Dong opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
She and Wen Jiaming looked at each other, stunned for a moment by the scolding.
After Grandma Zhang scolded so much, Sister Zhang woke up. She rubbed her eyes and listened attentively. So when Grandma Zhang turned around, she saw that her daughter-in-law had opened her eyes and her eyeballs were still rolling around!
"Oh, daughter-in-law, did I wake you up?" Grandma Zhang's voice suddenly became soft.
Sister Zhang praised: "Mom, your scolding is so nice!"
Granny Zhang: …
"Hmph, get up quickly and brush your teeth and wash your face when you wake up! Otherwise the lean meat porridge will get cold! Today, the canteen sells meat porridge for the first time! Fortunately, I, an old lady, am very capable. I rushed to the front and bought a big bowl immediately!" said Grandma Zhang proudly.
Tao Tao suddenly shouted towards the door, "Song Zhi!"
Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the door.
Liu Yinghong, with disheveled hair and haggard face, was standing at the door of the ward, with Song Zhi following behind her.
Wen Jiaming just shouted, "Yinghong..."
Aunt Dong ran over crying and slapped Liu Yinghong on the arm, crying, "Where have you been? I was so scared... Yinghong, if anything happens to you, what will I do!"
Liu Yinghong didn't say anything. She walked slowly with heavy steps to the bedside and lay down.
Song Zhi looked at Wen Jiaming for a while, then walked to Taotao's bed, first reached out and touched Taotao's head, and then touched his soft son.
The little guy was sleeping soundly, showing no signs of waking up.
Song Zhi took the time to help Taotao wash up.
Meanwhile, Aunt Dong was still questioning Liu Yinghong, "Yinghong, where is the child?"
Liu Yinghong stared at her mother with a frown on her face.
——She had been standing at the door for quite a while, and heard everything that Grandma Zhang said when she cursed her husband and her own mother!
This made her, who was already in a bad mood, even more depressed.
At this moment her mother kept asking...
Liu Yinghong was irritable, "...sold it."
The ward suddenly fell into absolute silence.
Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew about it, as did Song Zhi and Taotao. Only Wen Jiaming and Aunt Dong were unaware.
The two people gave completely different attitudes.
Aunt Dong asked with concern: "How much?"
Wen Jiaming's eyes were red with anger. "What did you say?"
Liu Yinghong glanced at her mother indifferently.
A bold idea vaguely emerged in her mind - divorce.
In the past, she never dared to think about it.
Firstly, the social atmosphere is conservative and traditional, and divorce is particularly unfriendly to women; secondly, how can she support herself and her three daughters after the divorce?
But on second thought, she realized she couldn't live like this anymore.
Anyway, she has reached rock bottom. After the divorce, she opened a vegetable garden, planted vegetables and sold them, and made some handicrafts to exchange on the black market... The eldest girl is five years old this year, and the second girl is three years old... As long as the third girl can take care of herself when she eats and goes to the toilet, she can do more work, and then her and the children's lives will only get better and better.
Thinking of this, Liu Yinghong's eyes became more determined.
Aunt Dong coughed awkwardly and quickly made amends, "Yinghong, how could you do such a thing? No matter what, Sanya is also your flesh and blood... How could you sell her out?"
Liu Yinghong closed her eyes and said, "Mom, please go out for a while. I have something to say to Jiaming."
Aunt Dong was stunned, her face flushed instantly, "You! You kid...is there anything your mother can't listen to? Besides, you want me to go out? Then, then you and Jiaming are not the only ones in this room!"
Liu Yinghong, "Sister Zhang and Taotao are not our family members. They will be discharged from the hospital in a few days, and it will be difficult to meet them again in the future."
Aunt Dong wanted to say something else...
Wen Jiaming said softly: "Mom, please go out first!"
Aunt Dong listened to Wen Jiaming's words, looked at Liu Yinghong resentfully, and left the ward.
Taotao and Song Zhi said they wanted to go to the toilet——
There is no toilet in the ward.
If you want to go to the toilet, you can either lie on the bed and use a urinal, or slowly move to the toilet.
Taotao wants to go out for a walk.
So Song Zhi helped her up, and after she stood firmly, he bent down and picked up Xiao Feibai - he wanted to accompany Taotao to the toilet, and of course he couldn't leave Xiao Feibai alone in the ward.
So, Song Zhi held Xiao Feibai in his arms, and with his strong arms, he steadily brought Taotao up, and the family of three slowly walked out.
But as soon as they opened the door, Song Zhi and Tao Tao saw Aunt Dong leaning against the crack of the door...
The two sides suddenly met each other.
It's very embarrassing.
Aunt Dong chuckled twice, stood up straight and stepped aside.
Until Taotao and Song Zhi left, the door closed automatically.
Aunt Dong then continued to lie in the crack of the door, listening carefully to what her daughter and son-in-law were saying.
Wen Jiaming stared at Liu Yinghong and asked anxiously, "Yinghong, where is Sanya?"
Liu Yinghong answered irrelevantly, "Wen Jiaming, let's get divorced!"
Aunt Dong, who was hiding outside the door, was shocked. She didn't care about anything else and pushed the door open, yelling, "Yinghong, are you crazy?"
Then he said to Wen Jiaming with a smile, "Jiaming, don't think too much. Our Yinghong just gave birth to a girl, and she's a little, a little upset hahahaha... She can't make the decision about whether to divorce or not! She can't make the decision!"
"You - get out!" Liu Yinghong stared at her mother and said word by word.
Aunt Dong was stunned. "Yinghong?"
"Get out! Get out!" Liu Yinghong suddenly went crazy and picked up a pillow and threw it heavily at Aunt Dong, "Get out! Get out! Get out... Get out!"
Aunt Dong looked at Liu Yinghong in disbelief, "Yinghong, you, you treat me and your biological mother like this? You... is it necessary? I have suffered so much for you, and how much grievance I have endured... and you actually..."
Liu Yinghong took a deep breath, stared at her mother and said, "If you don't get out, I will die in front of you!" As she said that, she picked up a fruit knife from the bedside table and put it against her neck.
Granny Zhang was startled!
——The fruit knife was hers. Her mother-in-law bought some fruit for her to eat. She didn’t think too much about it and just put the fruit and the knife on the bedside table. Unexpectedly…
Aunt Dong was shocked, "Yinghong, what are you doing..."
"Get out of here!" Liu Yinghong glared at her angrily. "If I hadn't called you and you had come in... and you had interrupted me, I would have died in front of you! I would also let everyone know that it was you! It was you, my own mother, who forced me to death!"
Aunt Dong's tears rolled down her cheeks. "Yinghong! How could you do this? Are you...going to tear my heart out?"
Liu Yinghong was also ruthless. She poked the water knife fruit directly into the knife. Bright blood beads immediately jumped onto the tip of the knife, which looked shocking!
Wen Jiaming was anxious, and turned to yell at Aunt Dong, "This is a matter between Yinghong and me, can you shut up? Get out now!"
Aunt Dong's legs went weak and she stared blankly at Liu Yinghong, as if she didn't understand how things had suddenly turned out like this. She was only thinking about her daughter's good, so how could her daughter...hate her so much?
Seeing that Aunt Dong didn't move, Wen Jiaming became even more anxious. He pushed Aunt Dong out of the ward and closed the door heavily.
Granny Zhang seized the opportunity and rushed over, snatching the fruit knife from Liu Yinghong's hand, and then hurriedly took the handkerchief to check Liu Yinghong's wound...
After Wen Jiaming drove Aunt Dong away, he ran over quickly, "Yinghong!" He took a closer look at the wound on her neck and found that it was a shallow wound...just a slight cut on the epidermis, and some blood seeped out.
Liu Yinghong's tears kept flowing, and she choked up and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid... I just wanted to scare her, and I didn't want her to stay here and get involved in our affairs..."
Wen Jiaming said angrily: "Then you can't use such an extreme method!"
Liu Yinghong cried twice and said, "I didn't sell Sanya. I was just saying that out of anger... to piss off my mom. Sanya made a fuss all night last night, and Song Zhi helped to comfort her the whole night. When it was almost dawn, I heard Sanya's crying sound was not right, so I asked Song Zhi to help me hold the child while I went to find a doctor... The child is with the doctor now, and will be sent back after the examination."
Wen Jiaming's anger subsided a little.
He sighed, poured a cup of warm water for his wife and handed it to her. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "Song Zhi? The one in bed number 3..."
Liu Yinghong held the cup and drank a sip of warm water, then nodded, "Song Zhi is Taotao's husband, and Taotao is the girl living in bed number 3."
She sniffed and said softly, "Taotao in bed number 3, her sister-in-law comes to take care of her during the day, her sister brings her meals, and her husband looks after her at night; Sister Zhang in bed number 1, her husband is also on a business trip, so her mother stays with her during the day, her mother-in-law stays with her at night, and her father-in-law and her father each prepare a meal..."
"What about me? Who from your family has ever come to the hospital to visit me? Who from your family has ever come to the hospital to take care of me for an hour? I have been hospitalized here for two days. On the first day, my mother and I each had a steamed bun, one at noon and one at night... Your mother even came to warn me that I cannot give even a drop of my milk to San Ya, and must save it all for your eldest sister and second sister's son! Wen Jiaming, do you know all this?"
Wen Jiaming: ...
Liu Yinghong continued, "Before you left, I told you that my first two daughters were born prematurely, and I'm afraid my third daughter will be born prematurely as well. I want you to leave some money for me..."
Wen Jiaming hurriedly explained, "I'm ready, but Mom (Mrs. Wen) said she would take care of you and asked me to give her the money..."
Liu Yinghong cried, "Don't you know what kind of character your mother has? Then why don't you fool her a little? At least leave me ten or eight yuan! Do you know how hungry I am? Taotao and Song Zhi brought too much food yesterday, and they couldn't finish it and wanted to throw it away... I, I... I shamelessly asked them for the leftovers to eat! Wen Jiaming, have you ever thought about it? One day your wife will be so hungry that she will have to beg for food!"
Wen Jiaming was stunned, looking at his wife with eyes filled with disbelief.
Liu Yinghong said slowly, "Wen Jiaming, I feel so insecure when I'm with you! You weren't here when I needed help the most... My mom was here, but what could she do? San Ya was making a fuss the night before yesterday, but she didn't care. I got up to take care of her. Then last night my mom said her waist wasn't feeling well, so she had to sleep on the bench outside in the hall... Didn't she know that San Ya was making a fuss at night? Didn't she always say that she was my biological mother? Didn't she ever think about how I could take care of everything by myself?"
Aunt Dong's voice sounded outside the door——
"Yinghong! You're wrong to say that! This isn't your first child, so why are you so squeamish? Besides, I'm old... I can't stay up late, and my waist isn't in good condition... But I didn't abandon you, did I? I just went to sleep on a bench in the hall outside, and I didn't go anywhere to enjoy myself!"
Liu Yinghong took the warm water that Wen Jiaming had poured for her just now and threw the cup and the water towards the wooden door!
“Bang—”
The enamel cup knocked heavily against the wooden door, making a clear sound.
Liu Yinghong yelled, "Shut up!"
It finally became quiet outside the door.
Wen Jiaming whispered, "Yinghong, don't be angry. I was wrong before, but I'm back from my business trip now. I'll ask for leave from work, and I'll take care of you in person from now on..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Aunt Dong's voice rang out from outside the door again -
"Yinghong, don't do anything rash! You have to be sensible... Jiaming has a serious job to do, don't hold him back..."
Liu Yinghong yelled, "Shut up! Get away!!!"
The door was pushed open rudely.
Aunt Dong stood at the door with a sullen face, glaring at Liu Yinghong, "Liu Yinghong, tell me clearly! What is your attitude towards me?"
Liu Yinghong went crazy, and roared with red eyes: "I am already 27 years old! Can you please stop interfering in my affairs?"
"I'm doing this for your own good..."
Liu Yinghong yelled, "Shut up! It's because of you that Wen Jiaming and I have come to this point of divorce today! Let me ask you, am I the one who married Wen Jiaming, or are you the one who married him? Why are you so interested in our affairs? Yes, I did give birth to three daughters in a row... Is this just my problem? Is this all my fault? Do you want to try sleeping with him? Maybe you can give him a boy? Anyway, you think that every woman can give birth to a son, but I can't? I'm different. I think you can do it, so if you can, try it?"
Granny Zhang laughed out loud.
Aunt Dong's face suddenly turned as red as a monkey's butt.
Liu Yinghong continued to yell, "You gave birth to my only child, why don't you follow Big Brother? Why do you have to stay by my side and boss me around all day? I tell you the truth, if you didn't interfere, Wen Jiaming and I would still have room to talk today..."
"If you like to meddle so much, then I must divorce him today! You will marry him tomorrow! You will definitely be a better wife to him than I am, you will definitely be able to give birth to a son for him, and you will definitely be more capable than me to serve his mother and sister!"
Aunt Dong said awkwardly, "Yinghong, I really do this for your own good..."
Wen Jiaming thought for a moment, took out two yuan from his jacket pocket and handed it to Aunt Dong, "Take this money and go to the hospital to buy some soup dumplings for Yinghong. She probably hasn't had breakfast yet."
Aunt Dong tightly grasped the money, looked at Liu Yinghong resentfully, and left.
The ward suddenly became quiet.
The son of Zhang, who was in bed number 1, woke up. Granny Zhang urged her daughter-in-law to wash up and have breakfast. She then quickly cleaned the baby's poop and pee, and poured water for the baby to wash his hands and skin...
Wen Jiaming walked to Liu Yinghong's bedside table, cleaned the enamel cup, poured her a cup of warm water, then sat down on the chair in front of her bed and said, "Yinghong, let's talk."
Liu Yinghong's tears flowed, "...I don't want to have any more children."
Wen Jiaming hesitated for a long time and said softly: "Yinghong, our family situation is special, and we are both young... From today on, I will take good care of you. I promise you that even if we have another child, I will wait until your body is fully recovered, okay?"
"So... if I keep giving birth to daughters, I have to keep giving birth? Until I give birth to a son?" Liu Yinghong asked while crying.
Wen Jiaming took a deep breath, "...Yes."
Liu Yinghong covered her face with her hands and sobbed.
After a while, Liu Yinghong whispered, "Wen Jiaming, I've had enough of this way of getting along... Not only do I not want to have any more children, but I also can't stand your mother and your sisters, so let's get a divorce!"
Granny Zhang and Sister Zhang in the next bed turned their backs to the couple, lowered their heads and said nothing, pretending not to hear.
Wen Jiaming frowned, "…Did my mom and sister say something to you again? Yinghong, just ignore them, they have always been like that."
Liu Yinghong said: "After the divorce... I am a country girl after all, I have no job and no income. The three children will be with you from now on... I will visit them regularly. If you, your mother, your sister... dare to abuse the children, I will report the problem to your unit and the Women's Federation."
Wen Jiaming was speechless for a long time.
He stared at her for a long time...
——He is a native of Kyoto, but his wife is a country girl. There was nothing that could be done about it. His family had long had a bad reputation in the area because of his mother and sisters' arrogance.
No local girls like him.
No one wanted to marry him.
Later, I met Liu Yinghong through an introduction.
Liu Yinghong is a healthy, honest and simple girl. At the beginning, Wen Jiaming didn't like her very much and felt that she didn't meet his aesthetic standards at all. But his mother was always worried about the issue of whether to have a boy or a girl. After repeated nagging and brainwashing, Wen Jiaming compromised and married Liu Yinghong.
After marriage, Liu Yinghong had no job, so she took care of all the housework. In her spare time, she grew vegetables and melons, did various small handicrafts, and sometimes sold some things... She took them all to the black market to sell. Because of her hard work, the money she earned in a month was no less than his salary.
Before Daya was born, it should have been the happiest and sweetest time for Wen Jiaming and Liu Yinghong. At that time, the two of them were carefree, and the elders on both sides did not interfere too much in their lives. Those were the few happy days that Wen Jiaming enjoyed.
When Daya was born...
Old Mrs. Wen changed her attitude, started to act sarcastic, started to make indirect accusations, and started to make things difficult for Liu Yinghong in every way.
Later, Aunt Dong also came and lived with Liu Yinghong in Wen's house, and the conflicts became even greater - he had to go to work every day and avoided them. But she was at home with her children and couldn't avoid it.
Then, I don’t know when…
She was not very willing to communicate with him.
Liu Yinghong said, "After I leave the hospital in a few days, we will go through the divorce procedures! All three children will be left to you. If you don't want to raise them... just give them away. Your family has this tradition anyway."
Wen Jiaming, "Are you serious?"
Liu Yinghong nodded, "I really can't afford to marry into your Wen family. Maybe your family wants a daughter-in-law... whose parents are high-ranking officials so that your family members can easily get in through the back door, and whose parents are all dead and who doesn't need any connections to be a daughter-in-law! Moreover, this daughter-in-law must be extremely rich, and must be willing to work hard and do all the dirty work... Most importantly, she can give you eight or ten sons in one pregnancy..."
"Wen Jiaming, I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary country girl. I don't meet your family's requirements for a daughter-in-law at all. Let's separate!"
Wen Jiaming was silent for a long time, "I don't agree."
Liu Yinghong, "Okay, if you don't agree, forget it. When I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll leave the three children to you and I'll go."
Wen Jiaming was anxious, "Where are you going?"
Liu Yinghong thought for a moment and said, "I won't tell you where I want to go. I finally got out of this fire pit, and I won't go back."
Wen Jiaming held her hand and said, "Don't be like this. We are husband and wife. If there are any difficulties, we can face them together and solve them together... Okay?"
"not good."
Liu Yinghong pulled her hand away and said coldly, "If I don't ask for a divorce, you will just keep trying to smooth things over, right? It doesn't matter how much I've been wronged, as long as you're not affected. What you're thinking about now is, if I leave, what will happen to the three children? Who will do your housework? Who will take care of your mother and your seven sisters? Who will go out to earn money to help you with your household expenses...right?"
"Yinghong, I'm sorry... It was indeed my fault in the past. I neglected you. Can you give me a chance?" Wen Jiaming said anxiously.
At this time, Song Zhi held Xiao Feibai and supported Taotao back to the ward.
Aunt Dong also came in quickly with a lunch box in her hand, and said with a smile: "Come, come, come... Aunt, these are the dumplings that my uncle asked me to buy for you, come and eat them while they are hot!"
There was a greasy sheen on her lips that hadn't been wiped off in time, and even when she smiled, the leeks that hadn't been removed from her front teeth were exposed.
Wen Jiaming remained silent, looking at Liu Yinghong with eyes full of worry and sadness.
I turned around and saw Aunt Dong...
He frowned.
Liu Yinghong opened the tin lunch box, stared at the dumplings in the lunch box for a while, and asked, "Mom, how much is one serving of dumplings?"
"Why are you asking this?" Aunt Dong asked in a low voice.
Liu Yinghong asked word by word: "...How much?
"Twenty cents." Aunt Dong replied.
Liu Yinghong asked again, "How many dumplings are there for 20 cents?"
Aunt Dong was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable, "No, I don't know... I didn't ask, hahahahaha."
Granny Zhang wanted to spoil the fun, saying, "At the stall opposite the hospital, dumplings are 20 cents a serving, and there are 20 dumplings in a serving!"
Liu Yinghong stared at the lunch box and counted the dumplings inside, "One, two, three... Mom, why are there only six dumplings?"
Aunt Dong's face flushed instantly. "I'm afraid it's the vendor who's trying to extort money! I'll go find him!"
"Mom! Just admit it. They gave us twenty dumplings and you stole fourteen of them... Don't deny it! There are still leeks stuck on your front teeth!" Liu Yinghong said directly.
Aunt Dong was stunned for a long while, her face turning green and red, and she said awkwardly: "I, I didn't eat fourteen... I, I just wanted to taste it for you to see how it tastes..."
Granny Zhang on the side said casually, "Then you tasted and tasted, and you ate fourteen of them! Hey, I think you are an interesting person! Your son-in-law gave you two yuan, if you want to eat, you can buy a bowl and eat it outside, and bring another bowl back for your biological daughter to eat... Your daughter just gave birth and had to breastfeed three children at once, and you gave her six dumplings? Or, do you plan to eat more yourself and you will breastfeed the children?"
Aunt Dong was embarrassed.
Wenminghong continued to ask: "Mom, Wen Jiaming gave you two dollars just now, where is the remaining money?"
Aunt Dong, "The remaining money... there's not much left hahahaha, I'll keep it for you. Whenever you want to eat something, just tell me and I'll give you the money."
"Give it to me now." Liu Yinghong said.
Aunt Dong's face darkened. "Yinghong, why are you so ignorant?"
As they were talking, there was a "bang" and someone pushed the door open. The strength and force perfectly illustrate the meaning of "he who comes has ill intentions".
——The person who came was Old Lady Wen.
She had a gloomy face, with a six or seven-month-old boy hanging on her chest and a seven or eight-month-old boy on her back...
As soon as she entered the ward, Old Mrs. Wen ignored everyone and directly untied the two children, placing one on each side of Liu Yinghong's bed.
Aunt Dong immediately asked Mrs. Wen in a flattering manner, "Mother-in-law, you have worked hard! Have you had breakfast? Come on... Our Yinghong asked me to buy some dumplings early in the morning, saying that she would save them for you. Come and try... This is stuffed with leeks and meat, and it tastes great!"
As she spoke, Aunt Dong took the lunch box and stuffed it directly into Old Lady Wen's hands.
I heard that there are dumplings to eat, Mrs. Wen?
Her expression eased a little. She took it and, without using chopsticks, picked up the dumplings from the lunch box with her hands and put them into her mouth.
Wen Jiaming glanced at Liu Yinghong.
——Liu Yinghong had a look of determination as if she had thrown nothing into the water?
Wen Jiaming took a deep breath and said to Old Lady Wen, "Mom, that's Yinghong's breakfast. Yinghong hasn't eaten yet!"
Old Mrs. Wen was stunned and looked at Liu Yinghong and then at Aunt Dong suspiciously.
Aunt Dong quickly scolded, "Oh, that's nothing! Our Yinghong is the most filial to our mother-in-law. Mother-in-law, as long as you eat well, our Yinghong's heart... is happy, right Yinghong?"
Liu Yinghong said: "Of course not."
Aunt Dong: ...
Liu Yinghong, "I'm so hungry and I have no milk. Please take the baby away. I will never feed another baby again!"
Old Mrs. Wen and Aunt Dong were both stunned.
Wen Jiaming pleaded in a low voice: "Yinghong, let's talk about this before we tell them, okay? Before we have a final agreement, let's keep everything the same, okay?"
"Not good." Liu Yinghong said.
Old Lady Wen stared at Liu Yinghong and asked, "What do you two want to discuss?"
Liu Yinghong completely ignored the frantic winks that Wen Jiaming was making at him and said word by word, "I want to divorce Wen Jiaming."

Aunt Dong was frightened, and quickly said to Old Lady Wen with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, our Yinghong is out of her mind, hahahahahaha… What she meant was, actually, yes…she wanted to go to Lifeng’s temple with Jiaming to worship hahahahaha…"
Granny Zhang said casually, "Don't talk about going to the temple to worship anymore. Those are the four olds and must be destroyed. The temple on Lifeng Mountain has been demolished... Don't you know?"
Aunt Dong was so frightened that her face turned pale. She covered her mouth and dared not speak anymore.
Old Mrs. Wen glared at Aunt Dong fiercely.
She didn't take Liu Yinghong's words seriously at all, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, hurry up and feed these two, I'm in a hurry to go back!" As she said that, she finished all the dumplings in the lunch box in one breath.
Wen Jiaming said anxiously: "Mom!"
"What?"
Wen Jiaming, "That was Yinghong's breakfast. She didn't eat anything this morning..."
Old Lady Wen, "What does it have to do with me if she didn't have breakfast? This was given to me by her mother, I didn't ask to take it!"
Wen Jiaming just felt overwhelmed. He said to his wife, "Yinghong, wait a minute. I'll go buy you another one..."
