Ever since the girl surnamed Chen came to her hometown to look for relatives and told Lu Shengmin the truth about Lu Hao's mother's departure, Lu Shengmin fell ill and felt like he had lost his soul.
After Jiang Ping married, a new member was added to the family, Lu Shengmin's mental state improved, and he and Xu Zheng got along very harmoniously, like father and son. Xu Yuqin felt that he had endured all the hardships and survived, and finally saw the family living happily.
The days have passed.
As a result, when she went to fetch water just now, she heard people basking in the sun next to the canteen talking about how Lu Shengmin had received a call from Lu Hao’s mother. When Lu Shengmin answered the phone at the canteen, he cried so hard that he burst into tears regardless of his appearance. He was very emotional.
This matter spread throughout the village.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone was talking about the return of Lu Hao's mother.
Xu Yuqin carried two buckets of water and passed by the canteen. They laughed at her in various teasing tones, saying that Lu Shengmin might go to the city to find his first wife. She really couldn't stand it.
Also very aggrieved.
She had worked hard to manage the family for so many years, but she had never entered Lu Shengmin's heart.
She knew that Lu Shengmin lived with her because of responsibility.
After the truth about the death of Xu Zheng's biological father came to light, she filed for divorce. Lu Shengmin insisted on divorce. He clearly said that he would live a good life with her.
But as soon as he heard the news about Lu Hao's mother, he changed back to his original state.
Xu Yuqin began to feel aggrieved and unwilling.
No wonder he hasn't been feeling well since noon today and hasn't eaten anything.
In days like this, Xu Yuqin really felt that she couldn't live any longer.
In the past, she had thought of not asking for anything else, just living with Lu Shengmin and raising her son.
But later, unconsciously, she began to expect more...
But Lu Shengmin's heart really couldn't be warmed up.
She was really trying her best, but why couldn't she get into his heart?
Now that Lu Hao's mother is back, she will appear in their lives sooner or later.
Especially seeing that Lu Shengmin was so distracted, it would be better for her to be more sensible and make room.
Leave yourself the last bit of dignity.
Xu Yuqin cried and complained aggrievedly. Lu Shengmin scolded him with a sullen face, "Okay, it's Chinese New Year, why are you making such a fuss?"
"Who is going to the city? Where will I live when I go to the city? I have never raised a son, will they be willing to support me in my old age?"
Xu Yuqin snorted coldly, "Don't you still have your legitimate wife? You have been with her. I heard that the phone has been answered. Are you very excited looking at her photo now? Are you eager to go to the city to meet her immediately?
She? Yes, you can go and I will never stop you."
When Chen Yazhi was mentioned, Lu Shengmin's face instantly turned uglier.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold,
Neither Xu Zheng nor Jiang Ping dared to speak.
After a long while, Lu Shengmin smiled bitterly and murmured, "Do you know how much she has suffered over the years? What qualifications do I have to see her."
He wanted to see her, but what qualifications did he have.
He has a family, and she has someone to accompany her.
The fate between them ended more than twenty years ago.
Hearing her voice today, listening to her personally blessing him and telling him to live a good life, at that moment, he finally felt at ease.
As long as he hears her voice and hears that she is alive in this life, he will feel at ease.
He also let go.
At this moment, looking at her photo, I bid her a final farewell in my heart, and bid farewell to him for the past twenty years.
He finally no longer has to carry a heavy burden in his life.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. I only know that I have had a harder time than anyone else over the years. I have been facing your indifferent face all day long, and you have to take care of yourself at home and outside. I am really enough.
Already."
Xu Yuqin completely lost control of her emotions and roared, "I won't divorce you, you can go to whoever you like."
She really has had enough.
.
"I'm sorry." Lu Shengmin looked at her and suddenly spoke.
Xu Yuqin stopped crying instantly, wiped away the tears that obscured her eyes, and looked at Lu Shengmin blankly, "What?"
"I'm sorry, you have worked so hard these years." Lu Shengmin stood up, wiped her tears, and said in an apologetic tone, "If you want to leave, just leave."
He couldn't give Xu Yuqin what she wanted. Since she felt wronged, she should leave.
His heart died more than 20 years ago. All he could give Xu Yuqin was his responsibility to the family and his salary...
"Uncle Lu, what did you say?" Xu Zheng was shocked when Lu Shengmin agreed to divorce.
Lu Shengmin said expressionlessly, "Xiao Zheng, you are already married and can take care of a family in the future. Since your mother wants to divorce me, then divorce me."
He said calmly, "I'll give you this yard, and I'll move into the old house."
His old father and Lu Hao would probably never come back.
If the old man comes back in the future, he can make money to build a new house and support his old father in his old age.
"Uncle, don't be like this. What my mother said was angry. She was impulsive. Don't take it seriously."
Xu Zheng pulled Xu Yuqin, who was stunned, and said, "Mom, please apologize to my uncle. What you just said were all angry words."
Xu Yuqin was also stunned, and her heart fell to the bottom, but she still said stubbornly, "Why should I apologize? Just leave."
She snorted coldly, "I knew you were going to find your first wife, so just wait for my words, right? Let's go and get a divorce."
Xu Zheng grabbed the emotional Xu Yuqin and asked, "Where are you going to get divorced on New Year's Day?"
"Then we'll go through the formalities after the other person's unit starts working."
Lu Shengmin remained silent. Xu Yuqin's heart was completely cold. She glanced at him and left the door with a desperate expression.
When Xu Yuqin went out, Xu Zheng asked in a deep voice, "Uncle, do you really want to divorce me?"
Lu Shengmin always had an expressionless face, "Since she doesn't want to let it go, don't force it. From now on, you should take good care of her and don't make her work too hard. I'll be fine by myself."
He couldn't give Xu Yuqin what she wanted, and he had been very tired these years.
It should be good for him to live alone, free and without having to worry about all kinds of trivial matters at home.
Such a result was not what Xu Zheng wanted to see. He persuaded in a sincere tone, "Uncle, I know that I had a misunderstanding in my heart before and was not very friendly to you and Lu Hao. I already know that I was wrong and I also want to repay you."
I will be filial to you for your kindness in bringing me up. Now that you are divorced, what will we, the younger generation, do? We can’t hold our heads up even when we go out."
In rural areas, even if couples fight every day, no one actually files for divorce.
Not to mention someone who is about to have a grandson.
"It's okay, just live your life."
Although Lu Shengmin spoke little, he seemed to have made up his mind.
He stood up and locked up the black and white photo of Chen Yazhi again.
Then he went out and said he would visit the old house.
Xu Zheng and Jiang Ping couldn't stop him and had no choice but to let him go out.
