"Dajiangzi, Li is so willful and reckless, why do you go with her? It's normal for a couple to quarrel and quarrel, so why do they have to get divorced? Marriage is not a child's play. You two broke up together.
What will Jia Le and Chun Hua do in the future? Why don’t you think about the children?”
Facing Li Dajun's condemnation, Ling Jiang could only feel guilty.
"Dad, I'm sorry. When we got married, I promised you that I would let Li live a good life and treat her well all her life. But I was incompetent and couldn't keep my promise."
Ling Jiang raised his hand to squeeze the tears from the corners of his eyes, and continued with a slightly choked voice: "Dad, I have discussed it with Lidu, Jia Le will follow her, and Chun Hua will follow me.
Don't worry, even if they get divorced, I won't ignore their mother and son. From now on, I will give them 20 yuan for living expenses and 10 kilograms of rice every month until Li gets married again."
When Li Dajun heard these words, his eyes were so anxious that his eyes were red, "Da Jiangzi, you, you asked me to tell you what you are good at, why did it have to come to this point..."
Li Dajun tried to persuade his son-in-law to change his mind, but he got up and went to the kitchen to persuade his daughter.
Li Li was sitting on a small stool peeling a pumpkin. She turned her head when she heard the noise, and when she saw Li Dajun's red eyes, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Dad, the meal will have to wait a while."
Li Dajun took a small stool, sat across from his daughter, and sighed heavily.
"What on earth are you arguing with your son-in-law? Why do you have to get divorced?"
Li Li replied while peeling a pumpkin: "You can't live without me."
"Why can't I live a good life anymore? My son-in-law is such a down-to-earth and reliable person..."
Li Dajun's persuasion made Li Li a little impatient, "Dad, how many times do I have to tell you that Ling Jiang suppressed both his family and his wife? Look at the Ling family, except for the two brothers, everyone else was suppressed to death!
Now it's our Li family's turn. If I continue to live with him, it's either me or you who will die next time!"
"You said that the son-in-law defeated the relatives, so how come Kawako was not defeated by him?"
Li Li was choked for a moment, and then she said unconvinced: "Kawako's life is tough. Dad, don't say it. We can't survive anyway. I've prepared the divorce certificate and I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the afternoon."
Li Dajun didn't know the reason for his daughter's divorce and the fact that Ling Jiale was not Ling Jiang's biological child, but he still tried hard to persuade his daughter to change her mind.
"Li, if you listen to people's advice and eat enough, don't be like your mother, who has been competitive all her life, and in the end, people didn't even want to give her a ride..."
No matter how hard Li Dajun talked, Li Li remained unmoved and made Li Dajun so worried that his hair almost turned white.
He could only ask his daughter with bitterness and helplessness what her plans were for the future.
"In order to organize the funeral for your mother, the family has no food left at all. You are divorced. How will you spend this year..."
Li Dajun's words gave Li Li a reminder. She rolled her eyes and quickly started to think twice.
"Dad, don't worry, I will take care of it."
Just after lunch, Lingchuan and two tricycles also arrived outside Li's house.
Looking at the two tricycles filled with luggage and furniture, Li Dajun suddenly remembered something and asked his daughter, "Where is Jia Le? Didn't you say that Jia Le is following you?"
"I sent him to kindergarten and will pick him up when I come back in the afternoon."
After hearing what his daughter said, Li Dajun couldn't help but feel worried, "You brought Jia Le back to the countryside, what will happen to him going to school in the future?"
This matter also worries Li Li.
Originally, she planned to let her son Jia Le go to kindergarten in the countryside for a year after the divorce. When he reached the age of elementary school, Ling Jiang would find a way to rent a house for her and Jia Le in the city and send Jia Le to the city.
study.
Unfortunately, the plan is very rich and the reality is very skinny.
Ling Jiang found out about Ling Jiale's life experience and refused to help her raise her son anymore. She had to find a way to make money for her son's education.
With the help of Ling Jiang and Ling Chuan, the luggage and furniture on the two tricycles were quickly unloaded and placed in various locations according to Li Li's wishes.
After moving the things, Ling Jiang asked Ling Chuan, "Chuanzi, haven't you had lunch yet? I'll ask dad if there are any noodles at home and cook some for you..."
"No need, brother." Lingchuan pulled Ling Jiang, "I met a man selling steamed buns on the road, so I bought some and ate them."
After learning that Lingchuan had eaten, Ling Jiang nodded with relief, "Then, are we going back now?"
Lingchuan asked hurriedly: "Brother, have you received the divorce certificate?"
"It's here. We first went to the township government to get the certificate issued and then came back."
Lingchuan nodded, "That's good, let's go."
"Eh."
When sending them out, Li Dajun held Ling Jiang's hand and refused to let go, his eyes full of reluctance, "Da Jiangzi, you will come to my house often when you are free..."
Looking at Li Dajun's thin face and graying temples, Ling Jiang felt very sad.
"Dad, please take care of yourself. I will bring Chunhua back to see you when I have time."
"Hey, then walk slowly and come back often..."
Until the group of people almost walked out of the village, Li Dajun still stood at the door, looking in the direction they left, and did not move for a long time.
—
It was already 3:30 in the afternoon when we returned to Ling's house, and there was still an hour and a half before the Civil Affairs Bureau got off work.
Time was running out, so Yun Mo took out the printed divorce agreement and handed it to Lingchuan and Li Li for review.
"I have printed the agreement. You can take a look at it. If you have no problem, just sign it and then go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the formalities."
Afraid that the two of them would be slow to read, Yun Mo deliberately explained every clause.
"...That's all. If there's no problem, you can sign it now."
Yun Mo handed the prepared pen to Ling Jiang and Li Li.
Ling Jiang had 100% trust in Yun Mo, so he took the pen and wrote his name with a "swish".
Li Li calmly put the pen on the table, "Don't worry, we still have something to say."
Yun Mo answered subconsciously, "What are you talking about?"
Li Li sneered coldly, "Sister-in-law, divorce is a matter between Ling Jiang and I. Why are you so anxious?"
Yun Mo looked at the watch on her wrist, "It's almost four o'clock, and the Civil Affairs Bureau will get off work in one hour. If you want to complete the divorce procedures today, you have to hurry up."
Hearing this, Li Li stopped wasting time and turned to look at Ling Jiang, "20 yuan a month for living expenses, plus 10 kilograms of rice. I accept this condition, but what about the holidays?"
Ling Jiang was stunned by the question.
He only knew that he should honor his elders during festivals, but he never thought about honoring his ex-wife.
Seeing that Ling Jiang remained silent, Yun Mo suggested, "Brother, I have an idea. The living expenses will be increased by 5 yuan each for the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival months, and 10 yuan for the Spring Festival month. What do you think?"
