Chapter Thirty-Four: Negotiating for the Daughter



Wu Xiangru was taken away for investigation, and Lin Qingping, as the temporary person in charge, received Hua Li and Chen Yuanshan.

"Mrs. Luo Yan, Comrade Chen, I'm sorry, but neither Luo Yan nor Xiao Xiu meets the requirements for admission to the kindergarten, so the two children don't need to come tomorrow."

Hua Li was taken aback. "We've already completed the admission procedures, how could we not meet the requirements?"

Lin Qingping said, "Actually, Luo Yan meets the requirements for kindergarten admission, but this is a military kindergarten. That means if you and Luo Yan's father divorce and Luo Yan is raised by you, and you are not a soldier, Luo Yan will lose her eligibility to attend kindergarten."

As for Xiao Xiu… Comrade Chen is only a temporary guardian, not a formal adoptive parent. Furthermore, due to Dean Wu's situation, the approval process is extremely strict, so Xiao Xiu has no choice but to be asked to leave.”

Judging from Lin Qingping's words, Luo Yan still has a chance to stay in kindergarten, but taking a short break would be troublesome.

Chen Yuanshan scratched his head and, together with Hua Li, led the child out of the kindergarten.

Unexpectedly, the farce caused both children to lose their eligibility to attend kindergarten. Hua Li remained silent the whole way, and sat in the car with a heavy heart.

Chen Yuanshan drove Hua Li and her daughter home. When they arrived at their door, Hua Li asked Chen Yuanshan to let Xiaoxiu stay.

Chen Yuanshan, being a man, wasn't that meticulous, and Hua Li worried that his lack of care would affect Xiao Xiu's recovery.

Chen Yuanshan knew he wasn't cut out for taking care of people, so he carried Xiaoxiu into the house and placed her on the kang (heated brick bed) in the master bedroom, and then brought in all the things he had bought yesterday.

After finishing his work, Chen Yuanshan drove back to report to his former boss.

Hua Li was busy cleaning and boiling water for her two children to bathe.

Xiao Xiu wanted to wash herself this time, but Hua Li forced her to wash herself thoroughly and then put on the new clothes that Chen Yuanshan had bought for her.

Chen Yuanshan bought new clothes not only for Xiao Xiu, but also for Luo Yan.

Thinking that Luo Shicheng had never bought Luo Yan a single piece of clothing since she was a child, Hua Li was so angry with Luo Shicheng that she gritted her teeth.

If you just want to send Luo Yan to kindergarten, you either need to negotiate with Luo Shicheng to let Luo Yan continue to be registered under Luo Shicheng's household registration, or you need to send Luo Yan to a private kindergarten.

However, the conditions at private kindergartens were far inferior, and Hua Li didn't want to wrong Luo Yan unless absolutely necessary.

After much thought, Hua Li decided to talk to Luo Shicheng. He went out and used a public phone to go to the military base to find Luo Shicheng.

Luo Shicheng was leading troops in training when he heard that he had received a call and ran to pick him up.

"Luo Shicheng, I'd like to talk to you about Luo Yan starting kindergarten..."

Upon recognizing Hua Li, Luo Shicheng suddenly tightened his grip on the microphone.

"Go ahead and say it, I'm listening."

Hua Li, "After we get divorced, can we not transfer Yan Yan's household registration?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Shicheng's eyes darkened. "You're not transferring your household registration so that Yan Yan can get into the military kindergarten?"

Hua Li gave a soft "hmm".

Luo Shicheng's voice was cold and strained.

"Hua Li, listen to me, I'll only say this once."

I'll give you two choices: one, you go to the leader yourself to get the divorce application back, and the three of us can continue living together as a family.

Second, we're getting a divorce. You and Luo Yan must immediately move your household registrations out of the area, and I never want to see you again.

After he finished speaking, Luo Shicheng held his breath, like a prisoner awaiting his final verdict.

Hua Li could tell that Luo Shicheng was using Luo Yan to force her to go back, but she didn't want to go back even if it meant death, yet she didn't dare to refuse easily.

"Let me think about it."

Luo Shicheng didn't intend to give Hua Li too much time to think.

"If you don't withdraw your divorce application by tomorrow at the latest, you can stop thinking about it."

After saying that, Luo Shicheng decisively hung up the phone, afraid that if he hesitated for even a second longer, he would soften his heart.

Despite being preoccupied with her own thoughts, Hua Li still managed to buy two popsicles on the way home, one for Luo Yan and one for Xiao Xiu.

Luo Yan was enjoying her popsicle when Hua Li asked her a question.

"Yanyan, if Mommy takes you back to live with Daddy again, would you like that?"

Could it be that her scumbag father is using her enrollment conditions as leverage to force her mother to give up the divorce and go home to live with him?

What a terrible dad! You're digging your own grave. There's nothing I can do to help you.

Luo Yan pretended not to understand and just repeated Hua Li's words.

"Dad, Dad Chen..."

It's not like only the scumbag dad is a soldier, Chen Yuanshan is too. If Mom marries Chen Yuanshan and then adopts Xiaoxiu, all the problems will be solved.

As for why Chen Yuanshan, a young man who has never been married, should take on Hua Li, a divorced woman with a child, it can only be said that if Chen Yuanshan agrees, then it's a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive.

If Chen Yuanshan disagrees... well, so be it. It's not like we'll lose a piece of our flesh. We'll just think of another way.

Hua Li heard Luo Yan call Chen "Dad," but she had no intention of dragging Chen Yuanshan into this mess.

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, not a game. She can't go and ruin other people's marriages just because she's unhappy in her own.

Hua Li suddenly remembered someone.

"Xiaoxiu, Yanyan, Mommy has to go out for a bit. Be good, and Mommy will buy you popsicles when I get back, okay?"

She's not really a child, she doesn't need an adult to watch over her every step of the way, Luo Yan nodded.

Xiao Xiu nodded, patted his chest and then Luo Yan, meaning to reassure Hua Li that he would take good care of Luo Yan.

Hua Li put the food on the side of the kang (a heated brick bed) to prevent the child from going hungry, then took the key, locked the door, and went to the army base.

Chu Tonghai never expected that Hua Li, whose job had been taken by his daughter, would come to see him again after he paid back Liu Jingqiu's money. With a not-so-pleasant expression, he invited Hua Li to sit down and asked Hua Li what his purpose was.

"Commander Chu, I've come to see you today because of Liu Jingqiu..."

Years ago, Liu Jingqiu beat my daughter, who had just learned to walk, several times. Yesterday, on my daughter's first day of kindergarten, she was beaten again by Liu Jingqiu's daughter, An Xiaotong.

The mother and daughter have been bullying my daughter so badly, and I have collected evidence to report them.

The reason I came to see you before reporting this is that I hope you can distance yourself from Liu Jingqiu in time and not be implicated by her shamelessness.

Since witnessing Liu Jingqiu's dark side at the hospital, Chu Tonghai has conducted a detailed investigation into Liu Jingqiu.

The investigation revealed that Liu Jingqiu did indeed have problems. Chu Tonghai was no longer as concerned about Liu Jingqiu and her daughter. Even when Hua Li said she would report Liu Jingqiu, he still had no intention of protecting her.

He didn't hide the fact that he had recognized Liu Jingqiu; everyone knew about it. If Liu Jingqiu were reported by Hua Li, such a scandal would definitely have an impact on him.

Tell me your requirements.

The fact that Hua Li dared to come to him with these words meant that he never really intended to report Liu Jingqiu; he probably just wanted to ask for benefits. Chu Tonghai looked at Hua Li with disdain.

Hua Li felt like she was invisible in front of Chu Tonghai, with every move he made being under her control. But she had no other choice but to take a risky approach.

"I don't mind not reporting Liu Jingqiu, as long as you can arrange for my daughter to get into the military kindergarten and guarantee that Liu Jingqiu will give me back my job at the supply and marketing cooperative, I promise you I will never report him."
