Cheng Tianyuan frowned and whispered: "Xiao Hao is still lying in the hospital, and my sister-in-law is not in good spirits. If you don't care about yourself, who will take care of them in the future?"
Chen Min's eyes flashed slightly, and he slowly reached out to take the big bowl.
Ahu on the side urged: "Eat quickly, eat it while it's hot."
After a few mouthfuls, Chen Min slowed down. Perhaps Cheng Tianyuan's words earlier had an effect. He closed his eyes and swallowed the remaining porridge wholeheartedly.
Xiao Li put away the dishes and chopsticks.
Seeing that they all looked embarrassed, as if they had something important to discuss, several old people made excuses that they were going to play mahjong, and went to Xue Zhilan's guest room together.
The big living room became quiet, but the atmosphere was very solemn.
Wang Qing hesitated to speak, hesitating: "Um... Cuiliu, just be fine. No matter what happened, it has passed."
Chen Min sighed again, grabbed his hair a few times with his thick hands, and then rubbed his face, his movements slow and heavy.
Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "Are you sleepy? Go back to your original guest room to rest -"
"Do you have any cigarettes?" Chen Min suddenly asked.
Everyone was stunned.
Ahu scratched his pocket in embarrassment and smiled.
"I haven't dared to smoke for many years... Where did the cigarettes come from?"
Cheng Tianyuan has never smoked, so naturally he doesn't carry cigarettes or lighters with him.
At this time, Xue Ling stood up and walked to the lockers.
"When my second son got married a few days ago, a business friend gave me four cartons of foreign cigarettes. I remember they were placed in the cabinet in the corner. They should still be there."
Quickly, she took out a cigarette.
Chen Min quickly thanked him and took it. He quickly took out a packet, took out one and picked it up.
The next moment, he looked around: "Where is the fire?"
Ahu pointed at the fireplace and said, "Isn't it there? Go over there and smoke it!"
"Yes, yes." Wang Qing reminded: "There are vents over there, so you don't have to worry about smoking other people if you smoke."
Chen Min hurried over and sat at the fireplace, puffing out smoke, and the smoke lingered for a moment.
The others found their own places to sit, and did not come forward to disturb him, nor did they speak.
After Chen Min smoked for a while, he irritably put out the remaining cigarette and put it in the corner of the fireplace.
Cheng Tianyuan saw his movements and whispered: "You can suck it if you want. The place is spacious and we won't be smoked."
"No." Chen Min rubbed his cheeks and pressed his swollen eyes, "I'm too upset, no matter how much I suck, it's useless. I just suddenly wanted to suck, but after a few puffs, I felt like I didn't want to anymore."
Xue Ling was boiling water to make tea and said, "Come here and have a few sips of tea to relax your spirit."
Chen Min came back and sat next to Ahu.
Seeing his haggard and desolate appearance, Ahu secretly felt sorry for him and hugged him with his big hands.
Chen Min's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears shone in his eyes.
"...Brother Hu, I feel so uncomfortable..."
Ahu blinked a few times and patted his shoulder heavily.
"Everything will pass, just hold on. We are all men... Men have greater responsibilities, so it will inevitably be harder."
Chen Min rubbed his nose and sobbed a few times.
"When I came back to the imperial capital last time to attend the wedding, I had already given her the divorce agreement. In the past, I could only talk about it verbally and yell during the quarrel, but I couldn't stand it anymore and found a lawyer I knew well to help me draw up the agreement.
I am determined to get a divorce. I am a little drunk and depressed, but I dare not tell you. Although Xiaohao is troubled, he is already an adult and I can't do anything to help him. I am even more troubled.
It's our business. How should we tell the children, and all of you relatives and friends? Later, something happened to Xiao Hao, and our divorce was delayed. I brought Xiao Hao to the Imperial Capital alone, not to leave her there.
While taking care of the family business, I didn't discuss it with her at all."
Everyone was secretly shocked when they heard this!
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and asked: "Wasn't it good before? You are a couple who are in free love. How did you get to this point?"
"That's right!" Ahu said in disbelief: "My sister-in-law has always been virtuous, taking care of her inside and outside, and is a good woman who takes care of the family. You said you had a quarrel with her before, but I didn't take it to heart. What kind of couple is this?
No quarrels? Who doesn’t live a noisy life?”
Wang Qing nodded in agreement: "Yes, despite the quarrel, the family still has to live, right? Life has to go on after all. You and Cuiliu have been married for more than 20 years, how can you just say that you want a divorce?
It is not easy for your family to have the economic conditions we have today, and Cuiliu has suffered a lot following you. You have worked hard for more than 20 years, and you have a lot of credit and hard work. Even if the relationship fades as time goes by,
, there is still a lot of credit and hard work hanging there, so it’s not easy to get divorced, right? It’s too difficult to put a family together, and it only takes two days to break up a family. It only takes two divorce notebooks to break it up.
Everything is clean and tidy. It is easy to break up a family, but it will be difficult to put it back together in the future."
Xue Ling handed him a cup of tea and whispered: "Are you having any difficulties? You might as well speak up and let us listen to see if we can help. We have persuaded you and will go back to Cuiliu. Strong winds and waves can do it.
After breaking through, there is nothing to worry about, right? At our age, many things have been taken lightly, and the most important thing is family and family ties."
Chen Min shed tears and kept reaching out to wipe them away.
"I... really can't live with her anymore. In her heart, she will always only have her ruined natal family, and she will take care of her natal family in everything... I am not the kind of unreasonable person. It is not easy for her natal family to give birth to her and raise her. I must be filial to my parents."
You should take care of your brothers and sisters. But you can’t shoulder everything on her alone, right? If she does it, I have to shoulder it. She takes everything on our family, and I can’t stand it anymore!”
Everyone was stunned and turned to look at me and me at you.
Unexpectedly, this is the reason!
As far as they knew, He Cuiliu's natal family was in the countryside and she had many younger brothers and sisters. She was the eldest daughter in the family and had always taken care of them. It seemed that they only knew one of them but not the other.
Chen Min choked up and explained: "I helped pay and take care of her grandparents. Even the funeral expenses were paid for by me. When her parents built a new house, I had to pay for all the money, even to buy a car for the family."
The motorcycles also have to come to us. I have to pay for her younger brothers and sisters to go to school and work. I was a little embarrassed at first, but then they all took it for granted, as if I was born to owe their family. Not bad.
, when we got married, I had already made a little money by opening a supermarket with you, and I had a lot of money. But I am not a rich man. The money does not come from the strong wind, but I earn it slowly every dime.
Come out. How can they ask me to help with everything? She always said that she is the eldest daughter in the family, and it is the sister's duty to take care of her younger siblings. But you can't take care of your younger siblings for a lifetime, right? I also have a big family to support, and I also
