A woman who lost her child, what kind of pain must that be? Even though the child came by accident, it’s still her own flesh and blood.
And this time, plotting over the child, what will she do next?
When it comes to this mother-in-law, Cheng Su really felt numb.
"Life always has to go on..."
"Mom, I want a divorce!" Cheng Su interrupted Mother Cheng, her voice cold.
Mother Cheng was startled, "What, what did you say? Divorce? Have you gone mad, how can you have such a thought."
"I’ve truly had enough of this mother-in-law and don’t want to deal with her anymore," Cheng Su said coldly.
"You’re being ridiculous. It’s not her you are living with, it’s Taiguo you’ll spend your life with. You want a divorce over this? Taiguo hasn’t wronged you, and now you want to divorce because of the mother-in-law? You must be confused!" Mother Cheng was a bit angry.
"Putting that matter aside. You and Taiguo are now living here; how often do you go back to your hometown in a year? How many times do you see your mother-in-law? You can count them on your fingers. Can’t you even tolerate this? Fine, let’s say you don’t need to put up with it, but you can’t handle even this few occasions?" Mother Cheng lectured her, "If you don’t get along with your mother-in-law, then don’t whine and complain; just confront her directly, can’t you? Where’s your smarts?"
Cheng Su hung her head.
"Where’s that spirited attitude you used to have? Divorcing over something like this, are you even my daughter?" Mother Cheng couldn’t help but stretch out her hand to poke Cheng Su’s forehead, saying, "If you can’t stand her, go confront her directly, show her your displeasure directly, why resort to divorce? You fool!"
She was truly about to explode with anger. Just for this, to talk about divorce, how wronged her son-in-law would feel.
If Qi Taiguo treated her poorly, hit her, scolded her, and didn’t protect her, then it would be different, divorce then would be understandable. But now, she thought her son-in-law was getting more reliable by the day. Talking about divorce now, was she not just handing him on a silver platter to another woman?
"You better drop this notion right away; neither your father nor I will agree to it," Mother Cheng huffed.
Cheng Su didn’t speak; she didn’t really want a divorce, but seeing such a mother-in-law, she felt immensely weary in body and mind.
"Now that you’re both leading separate lives, if you can’t even handle this, can’t even take control, then marrying someone else will be the same. Susu, so many people live with their in-laws, these rows happen, just take a look at your Elder Sister to understand. Now you have your own lives to live, why should you care about other people? You need to appreciate your blessings!" Mother Cheng said with deep meaning.
Outside the door, Qi Taiguo leaned against the frame, listening to the conversation inside, his face somber and his lips tightly pursed.
Mother Cheng stepped out and was startled to see him standing there. How much of her earlier words had he heard?
But she couldn’t worry about that at the moment and said, "The air is still heated, you should console her."
"Mother-in-law, I’m sorry." Qi Taiguo said, "I had no idea my mother would do such a thing. Susu, I’m too ashamed to see her."
After such an incident, where did he have the face left? His mother had completely thrown it away. How was he supposed to face Cheng Su?
Mother Cheng sighed, "The damage is done, and fretting over it won’t help, but your mother... oh. You should talk to her properly. Your health is what’s important. It’s not worth skipping meals over anger!"
Finishing her words, she went to sit at the table first, looking at the rice already starting to harden, and sighed deeply again.
This mess really was enough to upset anyone.
