After dinner, Xue’s father and Cheng Muhai took Xue Zhilan to play chess.
Mother Xue took Xiao Yue to take a bath, while Liu Ying [new www.biqule.co] gave Xiao Han a bath.
Mrs. Chen couldn't care less about rest and hurried home to clean up.
Xue Zhilan had something on his mind and had no intention of playing chess. He originally wanted to go back and help clean up. Seeing Cheng Muhai beside him, he wanted to take this opportunity to chat with him, so he sat back down again.
Cheng Muhai held the chess pieces in his hands, undecided.
Father Xue was making tea and looking at the chessboard.
Xue Zhilan drank a cup of hot tea and slowly put down the cup.
"My dear, what has A Fang been busy with recently? Do you know?"
Cheng Muhai frowned and replied: "She said she was making some big investment with her friends. Recently, she often leaves early and comes home late. I didn't quite understand what she was doing specifically, so I didn't ask too many questions."
After a pause, he gave a bitter smile.
"She has a bad temper and is not attentive. There must be many things she can't do. You and your in-laws should just talk to your mother-in-law and don't spoil her too much."
There is no better way to know a daughter than a father. As a father, he is only too familiar with how annoying his own daughter is.
After hearing this, Xue Zhilan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It seems...you and your biological mother still don't know about it, right?"
Cheng Muhai was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you know? Is there something wrong?"
Xue Zhilan's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Xue's father beside him uneasily.
"Brother Wu, do you know? Did A Heng tell you?"
Father Xue shook his head slowly: "A Heng didn't tell us anything. In the past year and a half, he rarely went home and didn't come over very often. He always said he was busy."
Although A Heng didn't say anything, he had heard A Fang scold him countless times. The two of them are currently busy with their careers and neither of them goes home. Xiao Han stays here every two days.
Sooner or later something will happen to a family like this - the old man could vaguely guess some of the signs.
Cheng Muhai realized something was wrong and couldn't help but ask: "In-laws, what on earth are you going to say? We have known each other for so many years, and we have had so many meals together and played so many games of chess! Don't be like this, in my heart
It feels weird.”
Xue Zhilan sighed softly and whispered: "A Heng and A Fang... plan to divorce."
"Bah!" The chess piece in Cheng Muhai's hand fell to the ground, and he stared at Xue Zhilan in surprise.
Father Xue frowned, not too surprised, as if he had expected such an ending.
Cheng Muhai blinked a few times and asked, "Did they decide? When? Why divorce?! They - they are messing around!"
Xue Zhilan lowered his eyes and arranged the chess pieces on the chessboard.
"A Heng decided first. He told us a few days ago to let us come back. My wife and I couldn't accept it at first, and we were angry and helpless. This morning, A Heng called me again,
He said that A Fang has agreed and they had discussed it last night. The specific divorce matters will be discussed slowly in the next two days."
"Wait!" Cheng Muhai stared and exclaimed: "Afang, she agreed?! How did she agree?!"
Xue Zhilan definitely nodded and whispered: "She... has indeed agreed. She told A Heng that he, Xue Heng, is not the only man in the world, and there are still many good men who want to pursue her. She wants to start a new career, and also
I need to find someone to marry again."
"Nonsense!" Cheng Muhai yelled: "Is she crazy?! This bastard!"
"Don't be excited." Xue's father frowned and whispered: "These are children's matters. Why are you so excited? A Fang has a bad temper and likes to talk nonsense. It's not the first day you know about it. Don't be angry.
, Calm down your anger, but don’t make yourself angry.”
Xue Zhilan also advised him not to get excited and sighed: "I originally thought that A Fang would definitely refuse. My wife and I also advised A Heng to think carefully and consider poor Xiao Han. But A Heng never agreed and only said
He was so tired that he didn’t even want to go back home. Originally, we planned to come back to persuade him, but we never expected that A Fang would actually agree, and the two of them planned to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for divorce after discussing the distribution of their property."
"Nonsense! Nonsense! What a nonsense!" Cheng Muhai was furious and said in a deep voice: "They were the ones who said they wanted to get married at the beginning, right? Now they want a divorce?! They think that getting married is just playing house? What should Xiaohan do? There is no family.
Will my child live well? Have you ever thought about Xiaohan? She is only a little over three years old, not even four years old! They are so cruel!"
Father Xue sighed softly and whispered: "Don't get too excited all of a sudden. Let's discuss it first. Aren't we divorced now? Maybe there is still room for maneuver!"
Cheng Muhai looked at Xue Zhilan and asked, "What do you and your wife say?"
Xue Zhilan whispered: "After we answered the phone, we were all stunned for a moment. A Heng said... let us not interfere or persuade too much. They really can't live with it. Both parties nodded and agreed, please
We can understand them. They were married in love at first, but now their love is gone and their love is gone. They hope to break up and divorce peacefully."
"Understand?" Xue's father frowned and asked: "Then who understands 'Xiao Han'? If there is a divorce, who will Xiao Han belong to?"
"Afang agreed that Xiaohan should be returned to Aheng." Xue Zhilan explained: "She said that Xiaohan's surname is 'Xue' and should be returned to Aheng. She also said that she would have to work hard for her career and had no time to take care of Xiaohan.
.”
"Crazy!" Cheng Muhai was so angry that he clutched his chest and gasped: "What kind of career can she strive for? What can she accomplish? She wants to have a career, but not her family or her daughter?! The two of them didn't go home every now and then for three days.
The family doesn’t take care of her, and her daughter doesn’t take care of her either! Now she’s going to get divorced—hiss!”
The words were incomplete, and I had to hold my head up, so I frowned and fell down on the sofa.
"Take it easy!" Xue's father and Xue Zhilan were both frightened and hurriedly gathered around him and helped him lie down.
Xue Zhilan quickly felt his pulse and advised: "My dear, please take a deep breath first and relax! Relax! Your heartbeat is suddenly a little fast. Don't be angry and relax."
"Don't scare me!" Xue's father was anxious and said incoherently: "The children are making trouble, we have to hold on! Don't get into trouble! What time is it now! Just take it easy!"
Cheng Muhai calmed down for a long time. After drinking two glasses of water, his breathing and heartbeat slowed down slightly.
"I'm getting older...my health is failing...it's all my fault..."
"Who doesn't need to grow old?" Xue's father sighed: "I can't blame you, it's Ah Heng and Ah Fang who should be blamed. They used to be such a good family, but now they have torn it apart, and now they are getting divorced."
Cheng Muhai looked at Xue Zhilan hesitantly and saw that he also had a sad face. He moved his lips and finally asked.
"No need to... discuss it? We must separate? Is there really no possibility of returning?"
Xue Zhilan shook his head: "If A Fang doesn't agree, we might be able to persuade A Heng or even oppress him. You should know that I have always been strict with my two sons. If he dares to let this family down,
Then I will definitely beat him to death. He said that he didn't, but he couldn't live with Ah Fang. Originally, I wanted to scold him for persisting for the sake of the child, at least not now. But for some reason, they talked last night, and Ah Fang actually agreed.
The divorce almost hit it off, and the two of them agreed immediately. Originally, Ah Heng was worried that she would fight for the child and might go to court to fight for custody. Unexpectedly, Ah Fang blurted out that the child belonged to him. The two of them were worried about everything.
We’ve discussed it, what else should we say...? How else can we persuade you?"
After hearing this, Cheng Muhai let out a long and weak sigh. He couldn't say anything, so he simply closed his eyes and lay motionless on the sofa.
