"Alan, every child's marriage has its own happiness and worries. As parents, we try not to get involved too much."
"I...I think so too." Chen Lan smiled bitterly: "But Tongzi is different. He has high demands on his children and requires them to listen to him."
Xue Ling knew that Tongzi had always made the final decision between their husband and wife, and that he had the traditional male chauvinism of the older generation.
He himself is like this, but he doesn't want his daughter to be looked down upon by her husband. He wants his daughter to put her career first in everything, and he even always doubts his son-in-law's feelings for his daughter.
Last time on the phone, he said vaguely that Zheng Duoduo wanted his daughter to go home and be a housewife just because he had a high position and made a lot of money. He was selfish and self-interested, and he didn't really treat his daughter well at all.
Not only that, he even said that if Duoduo dares to split the property in half after the divorce, it will prove that his affection for Xiao Tong is not too fake.
How could Xiao Tong make the right decision when an old father with such extreme ideas helped "advice"!
Xue Ling thought for a while and said the most crucial part of the matter.
"Actually, the key depends on what Xiao Tong decides to do."
If she doesn't want a divorce, no one can interfere with her.
After all, the marriage belongs to the two of them, and the key lies with them, not anyone else.
Chen Lan couldn't help but nodded: "That's right! Sister Ling, I...I will definitely persuade Xiao Tong. Please help me to persuade my uncle. As long as they live a good life, they can have more children!"
Xue Ling said "hmm" in a low voice and said nothing more.
No matter how lightly others say it, it doesn't mean anything if the person involved doesn't think so.
Chen Lan didn't know what she was thinking of, and suddenly said: "It's a pity that my mother-in-law is gone. She was a mother-in-law with a very good character. If she were still alive, the young couple would definitely not end up like this!"
Xue Ling's eyes dimmed, and he couldn't help but sigh in agreement.
"Yes! Sister Achun is a very good person. She is kind and considerate, hard-working, and has a gentle and tenacious personality. There is no one as generous as her among 10,000 people. She knows how to be tolerant and considerate.
.It’s a pity that young people can’t learn these essences from her.”
Chen Lan said with red eyes: "These natural and man-made disasters are unavoidable. If it weren't for the stability in the imperial capital this time, we wouldn't be able to fly over. The first child is already so old, I didn't expect it to happen.
It’s so gone...it’s so sad and pitiful.”
"Don't be sad." Xue Ling sighed helplessly: "You still have to take care of little Tong, Tongzi and your big family. For them, you have to be stronger."
Chen Lan choked with sobs and whispered: "Sister Ling, Xiao Tong, she may not know how to take care of a child, but she is the child's biological mother. The child is the flesh that fell from her body. She is the saddest and saddest when the child is gone. You
Tell my uncle not to blame her...she didn't mean it at all."
"This is an accident." Xue Ling said: "No one can accept an accident."
Although Xiao Tong is not to blame, the incident happened because of her. In the final analysis, it was her failure to take good care of the child.
It was never intentional, but the mistake was real.
She could understand and forgive Xiao Tong, but Duoduo couldn't do it.
Xue Ling knew this very well, but she did not dare to tell Chen Lan.
Xiao Tong is so smart, so she naturally understands how much of a blow this incident has had on Duoduo and their relationship.
Xue Ling saw Chen Lan off and shook hands with her to say goodbye.
"Keep in touch and come to Xinyuan as a guest when you have time."
Chen Lan couldn't help thanking her, climbed up the steps and left with her back bent.
Xue Ling raised his eyes and looked at the undulating green mountains in the distance. Looking at the back of his friend who was no longer young, he couldn't help but feel sadness in his heart again.
Cheng Huanran came over and said, "Fortunately it's still early winter, and the trees on the mountain are still a little green."
"Leave them alone." Xue Ling said, "Leave a car for them. Let's go back to Xinyuan first."
The cold wind in the mountains was extremely cold, blowing on my head and face, causing a razor-like pain. My body ached, and my heart ached too. It was very uncomfortable.
Cheng Huanran agreed and would accompany Xue Ling home first.
After Xue Ling went back, he took medicine and climbed into bed again, sleeping until dusk.
"Mom?" Cheng Huanchong was watching his cell phone. He noticed that Xue Ling's quilt had moved and subconsciously shouted: "Are you awake?"
Xue Ling let out a low "hmm" and sat up.
Cheng Huanchong hurriedly stepped forward, helped her pull up the quilt, and got a pillow for her to lean on.
"Mom, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
Xue Ling replied vaguely: "It's okay, my head is a little dizzy, but there's nothing else uncomfortable."
Cheng Huanchong breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "You developed a low-grade fever at noon, and you didn't wake up no matter how much I called you, which scared us all. My elder brother gave you an infusion and hung up two bottles of water, and you gradually fell asleep peacefully. Everyone
Don't worry about you, let me stay and take care of you."
Xue Ling was stunned and asked in surprise: "I... have a low fever? Why didn't I know?"
Cheng Huanchong said distressedly: "Brother said that your cold caused pneumonia, or it was acute pneumonia."
"Hey!"
"You have suffered from cold while running around outside these days. It's not serious." Cheng Huanchong reassured: "Brother has re-prepared the medicine. You will feel better after taking two or three days."
After saying this, he poured half a cup of warm water from the thermos and handed it to Xue Ling.
Xue Ling looked out the window at the dark night and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's almost six o'clock." Cheng Huanchong replied: "The second sister-in-law is taking a few children to eat in the dining room. The eldest brother, the second brother and Xiao Huzi have not come back yet."
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Where's Duoduo? Where's Xinzhi? Have they come back?"
"...No." Cheng Huanchong frowned and said, "Brother Tietou sent a message earlier saying that they would go down the mountain in the afternoon. Brother Duoduo was in very bad spirits. He drank a few sips of water and fell asleep in the car. Brother Tietou was worried about him.
If something happens, I will still accompany you in the car."
Xue Ling said quickly: "Let them all come back quickly."
Cheng Huanchong explained: "Yes! The eldest brother has told them several times that they must go back to Xinyuan. It's just that Brother Duoduo has to go to the police station to sign, so he went to the east side of the city. When the matter is finished, Brother Tietou
I will accompany him back."
Xue Ling asked worriedly: "It's so late and you haven't come back yet? You can ask again."
"Okay." Cheng Huanchong took out his cell phone to contact his brother-in-law.
After a while, he put away his phone.
"Mom, Brother Tietou said that Brother Duoduo is talking to the lawyer. It should be over soon and he will be home in half an hour."
"Lawyer?"
Prepare a few bowls of light white porridge."
"Okay." Cheng Huanchong asked: "Mom, what do you want to eat?"
