Qin Shiming cursed and hung up the phone, went home to wash up and get ready to rest. He thought he would not wake up his mother by being gentle, but unexpectedly, Chen Lian still woke up.
"Mom, I'm sorry for waking you up."
Qin Shiming scratched his head and smiled.
"Shi Ming, are you tired from work recently? If you're not, how about chatting with mom for a while?" Chen Lian looked as loving as ever.
"OK."
Qin Shiming had long wanted to have a private chat with his mother, preferably to know some of his father's secrets.
"Drink some water first."
Chen Lian poured a glass of warm water for Qin Shiming, sat opposite Qin Shiming, and looked at her son with a doting look on her face.
"Thank you, Mom." Qin Shiming smiled and took the water, but did not drink it. The water glass was turning in his hand. Qin Shiming was thinking about how to speak and how to bring the topic to his father.
"Shiming, your second uncle and your second aunt are divorced."
"What? Really, really divorced?"
Qin Shiming was shocked. When he was in the hospital, Qin Shiming heard Qin Donghai talk about it. Because Qin Yeming and Zhang Mingyuan deliberately targeted Qin Yeming and Zhang Mingyuan at the engagement party that night, intending to force Qin Shiming to kneel down and apologize, Qin Donghai was very angry.
At that time, Qin Shiming only thought that Qin Donghai was angry and just having sex. Unexpectedly, within a few days, the two actually got divorced.
Their children are both in their twenties and they are about to start a family. Why did they get divorced?
"Yes, divorce, the formalities were completed yesterday."
Chen Lian sighed and shook her head.
"Did the second uncle tell you?"
"Do you think your second uncle will take the initiative to tell me about this matter?" Chen Lian smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It was your second aunt who called me and told me about this matter. Her attitude was not very friendly and she said harshly that she wanted our family to look good.
I didn’t know anything at the time.”
"..."
Qin Shiming remained silent and lit a cigarette.
He didn't have any favorable impressions of his second aunt Liu Xiaoli, Qin Yeming, Zhang Mingyuan, and Qin Shiming. Only Qin Manxue had some conscience, but unfortunately not much. In other words, she had a love brain and was completely deceived by Zhang Mingyuan.
What Qin Shiming is most worried about is his second uncle Qin Donghai.
"How is my second uncle doing now? Is he still in the hospital? Isn't there no one to take care of him after the divorce?"
"That's why I want to talk to you."
Chen Lian sighed: "Your second uncle is born to be strong. Although he is the son-in-law, during the three years you were away, something happened to your eldest brother and sister-in-law. It was your second uncle who helped our family tide over the difficulties. Because of our family's affairs, they and the two of them were not spared."
There was a quarrel. This time the two of them got divorced, it also had something to do with us."
"Now that your second uncle and second aunt are divorced, your second uncle chose to leave the house. He simply packed up his luggage and went to the hospital. There was no one to take care of him. His life was not very good."
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Chen Lian cannot ignore her.
"It's easy."
Qin Shiming said: "I'll say hello to Dean Lin later. There is someone to take care of my second uncle 24 hours a day. I will often take time to go over and accompany him. No one cares about me. It's not a problem to provide for him in his old age."
"Mom takes your word for it."
Chen Lian looked at her son with admiration, a rare smile on her face.
"But, what happens after your second uncle is discharged from the hospital? Will he really end up alone in the future? Of the two children, Manxue is the more sensible one."
"Mom, do you mean to find a wife for your second uncle?"
Qin Shiming thought that this matter could be done. His second uncle was tall and mighty and handsome. Otherwise, how could he have been attracted by the rich girl Liu Xiaoli in the first place? Even if he got old or fell ill, he would still be as heroic as before.
He's in pretty good shape, and if he finds a young wife, he might even be able to create a fat boy.
It doesn't matter if the big one is gone, just open a small one again.
"You brat, what are you talking about?"
Chen Lian glared at Qin Shiming and advised earnestly: "Marriage is better than the original wife. You don't understand this truth. The two have been together for decades, and they cannot divorce because of a trivial matter."
"Although I was scolded by your second aunt, I can tell that she doesn't want a divorce. Here, please advise your second uncle that it would be best to remarry. In the future, the two families should have less contact. Your temper is also
wrong."
"Okay, I'll have a talk with my second uncle later."
Qin Shiming nodded, but he didn't agree in his heart.
He didn't want to mess up the marriage of his second uncle and his second aunt, but he just felt that Liu Xiaoli had indeed gone too far. He could favor his own children, but he had to have a sense of right and wrong and couldn't just indulge.
"You two have a good chat. Your children have grown up. Why do you want a divorce? Are you going to make people laugh?"
Chen Lian was still chattering.
"Okay, okay, I will definitely go to the hospital tomorrow to persuade my second uncle, but I can't guarantee whether he will listen to me or not."
"Well, then you go to bed early. I will take Xiaocao to dance in the training class tomorrow."
Saying that, Chen Lian yawned and went back to the house to rest.
Yes, Qin Shiming still has many questions in his heart, and he can only swallow them again.
Early the next morning, Qin Shiming got up and went straight to the hospital. He met Qin Donghai who had just finished breakfast. After recuperation, Qin Donghai looked good and was a bit fatter than he looked a few days ago.
After a few words of greeting, Qin Donghai saw that Qin Shiming was coy and unwilling to speak, so he took the initiative and said, "Are you here to persuade me to remarry your second aunt?"
"yes."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Qin Shiming could only nod.
"Second uncle, you shouldn't be impulsive. We are already in our fifties now. Let's not be so angry. It's not good for our health and our family." Qin Shiming also wanted to persuade him to reconcile, but nothing was as good as his original wife.
My wife is even more so.
"hehe."
Qin Donghai sneered: "I've already been admitted to the hospital, and these bastards won't stop. Why don't we get a divorce? Keep it for the New Year?"
"Second uncle, you..."
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. I will never remarry. I have thought it over carefully before divorcing."
Qin Donghai interrupted: "I have saved a lot of private money over the years, which is enough for me to live on. After I recover from my illness, I will go back to the work unit and go through the medical withdrawal procedures. I will have two thousand yuan a month, and then I will use my private money to buy things."
It’s nice to live in a small house, go to the park when you have nothing to do, and be alone.”
"The two children are now grown. I have not educated them well, and they will not be in charge of me in the future. I don't care whether they recognize me as their father or not. Without an official position, I feel light."
Qin Donghai pretended to be relaxed.
"You really don't want to remarry?"
"No remarriage."
Qin Donghai insisted.
"Second uncle, I want to ask you something, don't be angry."
Qin Donghai nodded, wondering why Qin Shiming was laughing. Was he laughing at his divorce? Impossible, Qin Shiming is not the kind of person without quality.
"Second uncle, have you already found a new home? Is it a little old lady, or someone's eldest daughter? You can't raise a mistress outside behind your second aunt's back, right?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Qin Donghai glared angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is your second uncle that kind of person?"
"Then why do you insist on getting a divorce? Do you think your health will not be good and don't want to bring trouble to the second aunt and the others?" Qin Shiming asked again.
"Only you know whether your shoes fit your feet or not."
Qin Donghai sighed: "I admit, your second aunt has nothing to say to me. She had a falling out with her family because of me and didn't go back to her parents' home in Jinling for decades. I still remember this feeling in my heart."
"But I can't tolerate her indifference between right and wrong, being reckless, and I can't allow her to wantonly hurt and humiliate our Qin family, the Qin family, even if my eldest brother, your father did something wrong, I dare to say it."
"But you are all right, but she doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. She keeps targeting you and wants to separate you from Tingqiu. How can you think of an elder like this?"
"Second uncle, you and them are a family. If you insist on divorce, don't you make me a sinner?"
Qin Shiming smiled bitterly.
"I won't remarry, so don't worry about it, kid. I'm in my fifties and I know what I'm doing, so don't try to persuade me." Qin Donghai changed the subject and said, "I really miss you.
