"Sister-in-law! Please! Go back and live a good life with my brother! From now on, whatever you say, our whole family will listen to you!"
Shen Ergou stood ramrod straight, and his words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Li Shuhe looked coldly at the mother and son and said indifferently, "Shen Ergou, don't talk nonsense. I didn't get a divorce because the Shen family didn't listen to me."
"I'm sure your family knows best why I divorced Shen Qingwen. Back then, you pointed your fingers at me and cursed me, saying that Shen Qingwen would only marry a better wife if he left me."
"You told me to get out of your house, but I'm an outsider, I don't even deserve to eat."
Everyone sighed in dismay.
When the Li family girl married Shen Qingwen, the wedding banquet was held in the courtyard. The Shen family did not give any dowry, and not even members of the Shen family attended.
This matter has been discussed by everyone behind their backs for a long time.
If someone from the compound marries a girl from the Li family, they have to treat her like royalty when they go home.
How could I treat her like that?
Some people think that the Shen family is too ungrateful.
"How can you say that? My nephew said that if Shuhe were willing to marry him now, he would agree to anything, not just the four big items, but even the eight big items!"
After Li Shuhe's divorce, this person took his nephew to Li's house.
Most of the gifts brought when they visited were imported. His nephew even said, "When we get married, Comrade Li only needs to stay at home and enjoy her retirement. She doesn't have to do anything! I can hire a nanny, and she can take care of the children!"
In the past, Li Shuhe would never have told anyone about something like this.
Her upbringing didn't allow it.
In addition, she knew very well that if word got out, others would laugh at the Li family, and the Shen family would lose face as a result.
But now, her mindset has completely changed.
"It's all Mother's fault, it's all Mother's fault."
While crying, Chen's mother shouted, "I'm getting senile! I'm possessed by ghosts and spirits! Hit me! You can kill me as long as it helps you breathe!"
As she spoke, Mother Shen took Li Shuhe's hand and slapped it on her face.
With a loud "smack," everyone was stunned.
Li Shuhe did not pull her hand back, but just watched Shen's mother's actions coldly.
"Alright, what's the point of playing the victim here? When you're bullying others, why don't you ever think about how pitiful they are?"
Regardless of the truth of the matter, if the story of hitting her mother-in-law gets out, it will be detrimental to Li Shuhe.
Xu Ruantang pulled away from Shen's mother's hand that was holding Li Shuhe, and said indifferently, "If you just want Shuhe to go see Shen Qingwen, you can just say so. Why make such a fuss?"
Li Shuhe took a step back. "I'll go see him, but you have to promise me you won't come back to the compound after I'm done. After all, we're divorced."
"Yes, Shuhe went to see him simply because she is kind."
When Shen's mother heard that Li Shuhe had relented, she was overjoyed, but her spirits immediately dampened when she heard what he said next.
Shen Ergou's eyes darted around, and he immediately said, "Okay! Sister-in-law, let's go!"
As long as Li Shuhe is willing to agree, we can take things one step at a time.
When Shen Ergou saw Shen Qingwen, he couldn't believe that Li Shuhe would be so heartless.
After all, she was married to her older brother; she's not that kind of person.
Li Shuhe asked which hospital it was, then turned and got into Xu Ruantang's car.
As for the Shen family mother and son, they won't care, and Xu Ruantang won't be kind enough to give them a ride.
On the bus, Li Shuhe couldn't help but tear up.
During her time in the hospital, Shen Qingwen hadn't had a moment of peace; her heart was constantly in turmoil.
This is the first time in her life she has liked someone this much, and it will probably be the last.
It was already quite a mess the first time; it almost cost her half her life.
Upon entering the hospital, before Xu Ruantang's car had even come to a complete stop, Li Shuhe rushed out.
She made her way to the ward, and seeing the person on the bed who had lost a lot of weight, she could no longer hold back her tears.
Shen Qingwen lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
At first, he just couldn't accept that Li Shuhe really wanted to divorce him.
Shen Qingwen even complained in his heart about why Li Shuhe insisted on putting him in such a difficult position.
Those are his family members; no matter what problems arise, he can't choose his family.
He also wanted to be like Li Shuhe, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, carefree and without worries forever.
But he wasn't so lucky; he had to accept his fate.
As he went on more and more blind dates, Shen Qingwen gradually understood his family's feelings towards him.
She also began to struggle to accept the fact that her parents did not love her.
He was their biological son, but it's true that they didn't love him.
When Shen Qingwen took the medicine, he also thought about ending it all. He couldn't solve these troublesome things, so he might as well not solve them.
But later, his mindset changed.
Why be sad and upset over someone who doesn't care about you?
There is still someone in this world he cares about, and who cares about him; he should cherish that person.
Shen Qingwen recalled the words Li Shuhe had said to him when she brought up divorce.
"Your parents don't love you, so naturally they can't respect your wife. You should understand that."
"I can't take it anymore, Shen Qingwen. I like you and love you, but I also have to love myself."
"So if you can't decide, I'll help you make the decision."
"But I can promise you, if you choose me, I will treat you well and love you for the rest of my life."
“My love is limited, Shen Qingwen. You are a man, and you should stand up for yourself when things happen.”
"I'm pregnant. Do you want your small family or your so-called extended family? I'm giving you one more chance. You choose."
