After being married for many years, the two of them have quarrels from time to time, but never as intense as this time.
When Li Hongru heard Zhang Weifang talking about divorce, he was so angry that his veins popped out and his eyes flashed with cold light:
"Zhang Weifang, you have no heart. In all these years, when have I not obeyed you in everything? Did I say anything when you said you didn't like my parents? You beat up your sister-in-law, so I'm on your side, right?"
Li Hongru took a breath and continued:
"Why should I be sentenced to death just because I did one thing wrong? Why?"
Seeing Li Hongru's furious expression, Zhang Weifang felt happy. So you can get angry too? And ask why?
After Li Hongru calmed down for a while, Zhang Weifang said:
"Hongru, let's not talk about what happened before. In the past few years, you have been good to me, and I have been good to you. It's mutual. Besides, you still haven't realized your mistakes."
"Okay, can I say sorry now?" Li Hongru didn't want to talk about these things anymore. He just wanted to stop Zhang Weifang from getting a divorce.
Zhang Weifang sneered, then stared into Li Hongru's eyes and asked:
"Then can you give up adopting Zhu Yuanyuan?"
Li Hongru's eyes flickered for a moment, then he immediately became determined:
"Weifang, I've already promised Zhu Lei about Yuanyuan's matter. I can't break my promise."
Zhang Weifang stared at him with a mocking look on his face:
"Look, Li Hongru, you don't want to give up your idea, but you want me to be wronged. Why?"
"Can't you just put up with me a little? Yuanyuan won't affect you in any way. If you don't like her, I can ask my mother to help take care of her." Li Hongru suddenly softened and played the emotional card.
"Actually, what I care about is not the adoption, but your self-determination. You knew I didn't want to, but you still selfishly agreed to it. You gave up on me without hesitation."
"Weifang, I really know I was wrong. I won't do this again. Can you forgive me this time?" Li Hongru pleaded.
Zhang Weifang was actually very sad. After so many years of relationship, this time it was really a painful and heartbreaking experience.
Every day at her mother's house, she waited for Li Hongru to come and explain to her. One day, two days, three days... Ten days passed, but she still didn't see anyone.
Her heart has been broken from the initial expectation to sadness, disappointment, and now despair.
Today, the moment she saw Li Hongru and Zhu Yuanyuan at the wedding banquet, she decided to divorce.
Zhang Weifang didn't expect that the person she was waiting for came to her not to apologize, but to make a blatant plot against her.
She had been holding back from getting angry in public, which was the last bit of decency she left for both of them.
"Li Hongru, some things, once they happen, can no longer be treated as if they didn't happen. I can't turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to them."
Li Hongru was so angry that he slammed the door and left. The two children were so scared that they didn't dare to move.
Zhang Weifang asked Zhu Yuanyuan to go back to the next room to rest, and she took Hu Zi back to her room.
Hu Zi is now at an ignorant age. She knows that divorce will affect the child. She is very sorry, but Zhang Weifang will not give up her life for the child.
Zhang Weifang held Hu Zi in his arms and said slowly:
"Huzi, Mommy wants to tell you something. Think about it carefully. Mommy and Daddy are going to separate. Who do you want to live with?"
Huzi blinked, expressing his confusion:
"Mom, why did you and Dad separate?"
Zhang Weifang didn't know how to make a four-year-old understand the concept of divorce, so she could only try her best to explain:
"Well... your father and I had a fight, so we won't live together anymore. Just like you and Tietou, we have to go back to our separate homes after dark. But you are still your parents' child, and we all love you."
"Mom, let me tell you, I know that sister will live with us in the future, and Dad likes that sister, so do we have to separate from Mom?"
Zhang Weifang finally understood what that sentence meant. In fact, children know everything in their hearts, and it is sometimes completely unnecessary for adults to lie.
"Yes, Huzi, that's why you're willing to follow your mother in the future?"
"Of course, I'm a man and I have to protect my mother." Hu Zi's words immediately broke down Zhang Weifang's defenses. She felt it was worth it. These six years were worth it in exchange for a sensible son.
After Li Hongru left, he didn't know where to go for a moment. He didn't want outsiders to know about this, so he turned to Li Hongxi's house.
Li Hongxi was still at work. When he heard someone at the door say that his brother had arrived, he thought something had happened at home.
"Second brother, come with me for a drink." Li Hongru pulled Li Hongxi away without saying a word.
Li Hongxi knew something big had happened when he saw his brother's expression. He asked the people around him to help him ask for leave and took Li Hongru home.
"Hongru, what happened?" Li Hongxi kept asking along the way.
Li Hongru hesitated to speak, and only said when he arrived at Li Hongxi's house:
"Brother, I want a divorce."
"What?" Li Hongxi shuddered with fear, and the coat in his hand fell to the ground.
When Li Ersao saw that the two brothers had something to say, she made an excuse to go out. The children were still in school, so only Li Hongxi and his brother were left at home.
"Third brother, don't say such things casually. You already have children. What are you thinking? Are you looking for someone else outside?"
"Second brother, it was Weifang who proposed this. She wants a divorce." Li Hongru's words were filled with endless sadness.
"Come on, drink some water and tell me what happened. If it's your fault, go back and admit it."
"Brother, I want to drink. I feel bad."
"Okay, drink it." Li Hongxi took out the bottle and poured him a glass.
Li Hongru drank it in one gulp. The spicy and stimulating liquor activated his tear glands, and Li Hongru's tears flowed down.
Seeing him like this, Li Hongxi poured him another cup.
After drinking three cups in a row, Li Hongru recounted the story in a dazed state.
"Second brother, tell me, did I do anything wrong?" Li Hongru pulled Li Hongxi's hand and insisted that he be the referee.
After hearing this, Li Hongxi really wanted to beat him up. He didn't want to enjoy his life and had to make trouble. He deserved to be divorced.
"Third brother, only by sending Zhu Yuanyuan away can you two live a good life, do you understand?"
"Second brother, but I have already promised Zhu Lei that I will take good care of Yuanyuan."
"You are so stupid! What does it matter to you whether others are pitiful or not? Why are you so kind? Now you have lost both the wife and the army. Think about it carefully!"
Li Hongru felt very conflicted. He finally got to be a hero, so why couldn't everyone understand him? This was not a mistake of principle, so how could it be unforgivable?
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Li Hongru lay down on the table and cried, and fell asleep while crying.
