Gu Qi and Chen Xingling looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
Liu Xin raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then fell silent.
Little Tiger, who was having fun nearby, came over holding a small wooden boat.
"Uncle Liu, look! Isn't my new boat cute?"
Liu Xin looked at the peculiar-looking little wooden boat and smiled approvingly: "Very cute! Very special!"
Little Tiger raised his cute head and stared at him, then stuffed the wooden boat into Liu Xin's big hand.
"Uncle Liu, this is for you."
Liu Xinqi laughed softly and asked softly: "This is your toy, why are you giving it to uncle? Uncle is not a child anymore, he doesn't need a toy anymore."
Little Tiger looked at him with a serious expression and said seriously, "I'm not happy for you. Dad gave me a small wooden boat to modify, and I like it very much. You seem to be unhappy, so I gave it to you, hoping that you can be happy."
Liu Xin was stunned.
Little Tiger patted his thigh soothingly, then jumped out.
Liu Xinyi avoided his gaze with a little embarrassment and whispered, "Aqi, actually, Lao Guo not only asked me to intercede for her, but also said that you two might not want to let her go, and hoped that I could help persuade you."
Gu Qi shook his head: "No need to persuade me. I won't listen even if you persuade me."
He is not the kind of person who cares about everything, nor is he the kind of person who never gives in even when he is right, but his wife and children are his bottom line.
"It violated my bottom line, I can't compromise. If Lao Guo wants to be angry, then let him be angry. If he wants to suspend me, then let him do it."
Liu Xin looked at him and then burst into laughter.
After a moment, he said in a gentle voice: "Then I won't persuade you. I came here on orders from Old Guo, so I will respond as I should. As for myself, I hope... someone can bring Guo Jiayue to justice."
Gu Qi and Chen Xingling looked at each other and were not too surprised. After all, he had been tortured by Guo Jiayue for more than ten days and he probably hated her to the core in his heart.
Liu Xin smiled bitterly, "They say that a night of love brings a hundred days of kindness. I have been with her for more than a dozen days, but I have been alone for more than ten days... If I hadn't preferred to be transferred out of the main factory and even said I would never come back unless I got a divorce, Lao Guo might not have agreed. As long as she makes a fuss, Lao Guo will compromise. If you don't make a fuss, Lao Guo will still make an exception for her."
Chen Xingling was not familiar with him, so he did not ask too many questions and just sat quietly and listened.
Gu Qi lowered his voice and asked, "Have you completed all the formalities?"
"Yeah." Liu Xin nodded: "It's easy to get married but hard to get divorced. At the beginning, I was young and gullible, and I agreed vaguely after being persuaded and coaxed by others. Little did I know that if I made a mistake, I would suffer for the rest of my life. After all these troubles, I can finally get rid of it."
A happy marriage is the greatest help in life, but an unhappy marriage may harm you for half or even your entire life, and even your descendants and younger generations will suffer.
When he was soft-hearted for a moment, he regretted it for more than ten days!
He wanted to divorce countless times, and was persuaded to divorce countless times, just because everyone took it for granted that "it is better to destroy ten temples than to destroy a marriage" to pressure him.
Some people even advised him not to think that other people's marriages were really that simple. Most people just lived a hard life, with daily tediousness and quarrels. How could there be so many couples living in harmony and so much love?
It's not that he didn't give Guo Jiayue a chance. He had wanted to try to hold on for a while, but Guo Jiayue never cherished the chance he gave her. Every time she would act arrogantly and use the Guo family's reputation to suppress him. She was lazy by nature, had a bad temper and loved to make trouble. She would either curse or fight.
He did not expect the couple to be as sweet as honey and the husband singing and the wife following each other, he just hoped to live an ordinary life and have three meals a day in peace, but she could not even meet his most basic requirements.
The family was in turmoil for more than a dozen years. They either quarreled or threw things, and then slept in separate rooms out of spite.
He endured it again and again until he could no longer bear it, so he applied for a divorce and broke through all the pressure to escape from the main factory. He would rather work hard in the branch factory just to breathe a breath of fresh and free air.
Fortunately, he survived and is now finally free!
Gu Qi whispered: "Congratulations."
Liu Xinbei smiled slightly, his eyes showing his tiredness.
"I'm really tired after all these days. My colleagues in the branch always say that I'm a person who doesn't like to laugh, but you can see how cheerful I used to be. Even your little tiger can see at a glance that I'm depressed. If we hadn't divorced, she would be my nominal wife, so no matter what happened to her, I couldn't just ignore it. How to apologize, make amends, how to compensate and be punished, I must face it with her, and I will never shirk it. But now I'm out of the sea of suffering... It has nothing to do with me."
Gu Qi understood what he meant and nodded slightly.
"That's too much. Brother Liu, tell Lao Guo that you did everything I asked, but my husband and I didn't accept it. Also, tell him what I'm going to do next so that he can have a clear idea."
"Yes." Liu Xin said, "I will do it. We are old acquaintances, so we should do things in an open and aboveboard manner."
After saying this, he drank the rest of the tea and stood up.
"The morning tea my sister-in-law made is really delicious. Don't waste even a drop of it. Next time I pass by, I will definitely come and ask for another cup."
Chen Xingling smiled and said, "Tea is always waiting for you!"
"Thank you." Liu Xin nodded gracefully, winked at Gu Qi, and then hurriedly said goodbye.
Little Tiger lay on the window of the study and waved: "Uncle Liu! Goodbye!"
Liu Xin smiled indulgently and waved his hand vigorously: "Uncle will treat you to a big chicken leg! Goodbye!"
After saying this, he got on his bike and left.
Chen Xingling saw him off and turned around to see Gu Qi carrying a small briefcase and heading to work.
"Aqi, come earlier at noon. We need to eat lunch early. I'll go to the grocery store and buy two chickens. I'll marinate some chicken wings and grill them. I'll bring them to Xiao Shanshan this afternoon."
Since we have decided to take action in the afternoon, we have to make preparations.
Hearing that little Shanshan's condition was quite serious, she planned to bring the little cutie's favorite chicken wings.
"Yes." Gu Qi responded and quickly went to work.
Chen Xingling went to the study and found his son playing a radical word-building game, so he played with him for a while.
Then she went upstairs and hid in the master bedroom.
After a while, she quietly took two roast chickens from the cooked meat section of the supermarket, ran to the candy section to find a few bags of simply packaged scallion oil biscuits, and went to the vegetable section to get a few persimmons and a few handfuls of green vegetables before coming out with the vegetable basket.
She packed up her things, poured a glass of water for Xiaohuzi, and then rode her bicycle out.
It was almost noon and Master Mo and Ma Dali were still busy, so she said goodbye and went home early.
"Mom!" Little Tiger, who was playing with folding airplanes under the shade of a tree, said, "Grandma and Aunt are here! They're over in the kitchen!"
Chen Xingling was not surprised and walked his bicycle to the corner.
"Huzi, did you drink some water?"
"Yes." Little Tiger replied: "I just poured half a cup and drank it. Now I'm not thirsty."
Chen Xingling was very relieved about her sensible son, and turned around to look for the person who made her worried.
As soon as I reached the kitchen door, I heard my mother-in-law secretly scolding me in a very loud voice.
"Look! Look! The kitchen is full of meat and vegetables! She spends so lavishly all day long, I don't know how much these cost! The money is earned by my son with great effort, but she treats it as if it was picked up on the street!"
Zhao Xiaoxing didn't dare to say anything, she just buried her head and picked vegetables quietly.
Li Ying was chewing a persimmon with one hand and grabbing a handful of peanuts with the other, and she couldn't even stop eating.
"It was Miaomiao's 17th birthday a few days ago, and I only cooked one egg for her. I couldn't bear to cook two! Look! Look! There are at least 20 eggs in the small basket in the corner! In such a big yard, she doesn't even raise a chicken, but she buys eggs by the basket! She treats the money as if it fell from the sky!"
Chen Xingling rolled his eyes secretly and walked straight in.
"Mom, if I don't buy it, what will our family of three eat? If I don't buy it, how can you take and carry it every time you come? Huh?"
