Bai Da said that, but Nan Jin still found it hard to believe. He had met Aunt Bai herself and even had meals with her, so she didn’t seem like what he described at all.
"You don’t understand, the war between two women." Bai Da shook his head somberly, as if he didn’t want to bring up the painful memories.
So, Nan Jin didn’t say anything more. Indeed, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issue seemed quite troubling. In his family, it was always filled with chaos. Every sister-in-law was not spared, and his mom fought harder and harder.
"How about it, Nan Xi, shall I take you guys out for a meal?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Nan Jin decided to take them out for dinner.
Then he would bring some food for Ye Xiu and Bai Da as well.
Nan Xi looked at Bai Yu and finally nodded.
Bai Zhi’s lips moved, and Ye Xiu quickly looked over.
"Xingxing, does it hurt a bit? Hang in there, shall I call the doctor?"
Bai Zhi slowly opened her eyes and saw an anxious Ye Xiu at her side.
Bai Zhi bore the pain and slowly spoke.
Actually, it was very painful, but she certainly couldn’t just blurt that out. She couldn’t show weakness.
"Xingxing, your grandpa and Grandpa Han have gone shopping. Your aunt took Wu Wa and Bai Fei to the rental house to buy groceries and cook; we have to stay in the hospital for a week, we can’t have them stay here all the time, don’t you think?"
Ye Xiu started speaking before Bai Zhi could ask; she knew that Xingxing would definitely want to know where they were. She didn’t miss the fleeting look of loss when Xingxing first saw her.
The person she most looked forward to seeing wasn’t her.
"We? Aren’t you going back?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised. Ye Xiu always valued her students highly, and her staying was unexpected. She was surprised by the consideration to stay further.
"Mhm, I won’t go back. There are plenty of other teachers in school, covering for me for a few days won’t be a problem."
She used to be naive, simply agreeing whenever someone said they would help without thinking about her children at home.
Although the students were important, they didn’t need tutoring 365 days a year; that was her being foolish, not knowing how to refuse offers for help or perhaps, not wanting to see Bai Da.
Having heard that, Bai Zhi didn’t say anything further.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Ye Xiu didn’t make it harder for Bai Zhi; she actually had more thoughts about this job.
"Xingxing, tomorrow I need to go out for a bit; is it okay if I ask your aunt to take care of you?"
Ye Xiu looked at Bai Zhi and slowly spoke.
Actually, she didn’t need to tell Bai Zhi, but she thought she should.
Each sentence Bai Zhi spoke seemed exhausting.
"I’m getting a divorce from Bai Da, do you want to stay with me or with him?"
Ye Xiu had already decided. The sooner it’s sorted, the sooner she’d have peace of mind.
Bai Zhi didn’t hesitate and directly replied.
Just as she thought, that would definitely be the answer.
"Alright, I understand."
It wasn’t that she couldn’t accept it, but it was a bit disappointing. They say children are most dependent on their mothers, but every child was pushed away by her own hands.
She wouldn’t force Xingxing.
When Bai Dan and Old Han came back earlier, they even bought some roast chicken that smelled enticing.
Bai Zhi’s mouth twitched; it felt like they were taunting her because she couldn’t eat.
And Old Han even wanted to eat in the hospital room.
Just when Bai Zhi was about to say something, Nan Jin came over wanting to speak with Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu went outside, naturally leaving only Bai Zhi and the others in the room.
Bai Dan directly pushed Old Han a bit.
"I won’t, I’ll eat right here."
Bai Dan, infuriated, watched as the two looked ready to start arguing.
Then Bai Fei and the others arrived, bringing food.
