Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207: Resolution

Wei Kaiyun entered the room and saw his wife sleeping soundly, with a small blanket pressed on his side of the bed.

His heart warmed; his own wife was still the best.

Jiang Xinyu opened her eyes and glanced at Wei Kaiyun. "What time is it?"

"It’s past two. Do you want some water?"

"No, I’m good. What happened, why is it so late?"

"Li Yunqiang and his wife got divorced. In the middle of the night, Li Yunqiang’s wife left with their grain and money."

"Divorced?"

"Yeah, they’re divorced."

This news made Jiang Xinyu wide awake and alert.

"What happened?"

"Li Yunqiang’s second son is really hopeless. He wants a job.

It seems Li Yunqiang is truly disappointed with this son. So, he thought about splitting the family.

But unexpectedly, Li Yunqiang’s wife asked for a divorce. Who knows what she was thinking.

Xiang Dong went and brought over her family, but even after the Liu Family came, she still insisted on getting a divorce.

They had a total of a thousand yuan; she wanted all of it. In the end, Li Yunqiang gave her five hundred and let her take her share of the benefits accumulated."

"They split the family?"

"It could have been avoided, but Li Shuzhi was worried he wouldn’t have a job without splitting, so he pushed for it."

"Li Yunqiang still has to raise the two younger ones, right?"

"Yeah. And he won’t take care of Li Shuzhi anymore, doesn’t need him for retirement either."

Jiang Xinyu was really shocked. She never realized how selfish Li Shuzhi could be.

How could he not care about his parents’ divorce, only thinking about his own job?

It’s truly astonishing. You really can’t judge a person by appearance, nor measure the sea with a cup.

She heard the noise outside; Jing Chu had gone back to her room.

Wei Kaiyun immediately slipped into his wife’s side of the bed. "Old Yang said, if Shi Jing and Ah Bao ever end up like this, he’d just beat them into submission."

"He’s overthinking it. They say you see one’s character by age three; our kids would never end up like that."

"Alright. Go to sleep. You have to take the kids up the mountain tomorrow."

"Okay, my wife is still the best."

Jiang Xinyu didn’t respond. If she engaged any further, Wei Kaiyun would have less time to sleep.

Old Yang also told his wife about what happened today.

"Sons are liabilities, let’s just have daughters."

"That’s what I’m thinking. This Accountant Li really has it tough, with a wife and son like that."

"Who says otherwise. By tomorrow morning, the whole village will know.

Alright, go to sleep."

Zhao Xiaoli snuggled into Old Yang’s embrace, adjusted into a comfortable position, and closed her eyes to sleep.

Li Yungui and his wife sent Uncle Li home, then rushed back to their home. Soon all the children came out.

"All of you get on the bed, it’s cold on the ground."

Li Xue sat beside Qu Xiaoli.

"Your Uncle Fourth has already divorced. Your Aunt Fourth has gone back."

"Divorced?"

The children were quite surprised, how did they get divorced?

"Not only divorced, but your Uncle Fourth has also split the family.

Shuzhi is going to work tomorrow; from now on, your Uncle Fourth won’t care for him, won’t support him in old age, and the home has nothing to do with him anymore."

"Shuzhi?"

"Yeah, just because he was upset with the meals, that’s how it started. Your Uncle Fourth suggested splitting the family, and then your Aunt Fourth for some reason insisted on divorce.

Her sister-in-law came over today. But nobody said a word; just for that, would she have it good returning home?

Your Aunt Fourth was someone everyone envied in the village; your Uncle Fourth was good to her.

But she’s such a fool; she insisted on a divorce, truly an idiot.

You don’t know, Shuzhi was afraid your Uncle Fourth wouldn’t give him a job tomorrow, so he pushed for the split; how could our family have a child like this?"

Qu Xiaoli sighed after she finished speaking. Shuzhi really wasn’t worth it.

"Alright, go to sleep."

The children knew the adults hadn’t slept yet, so they went back out.

The couple lay in bed, waiting for their third son to return.

"What should we do about Old Fourth in the future?"

"He has four kids, he can handle his own affairs."

"Now it’ll just be him and his three sons."

"Wasn’t it like that before, too? Fewer people to serve, actually." Li Yungui really disapproved of what his brother used to say. But you can’t stop someone who wants it."

Qu Xiaoli sighed again. "Do you think his wife went crazy? How is a divorce good for her?"

"Who knows. Go to sleep; I’ll wait for Changhe."

"You sleep, I’ll wait."

"You keep it in mind; think if there’s anyone suitable to introduce to Old Fourth, we can’t let him stay single."

"Would Old Fourth agree?"

"Sigh, you think about it first. I’ll ask him when there’s a chance, it’s really his own doing."

"I think the two young ones are really scared."

"They shouldn’t end up like the second son. Who knows why the second kid turned out like that. If he behaves like this, he won’t do well outside, either.

Too selfish, no one would want to deal with him."

"That’s what I’m saying. I feel Xiang Dong has changed; he’s not the honest kid he used to be."

"If the father is weak, the son follows. How could he not be like Liu Cuilan?

Plus, Xiang Dong’s ambitions have grown. I think Xiao Wei saw something, that’s why he doesn’t want him?" Li Yungui was also a bit dissatisfied with his nephew.

"Who is Xiao Wei? Trying to be clever in front of him would never end well."

Actually, Qu Xiaoli wanted to say Li Yunqiang was also a selfish person, but knowing they were siblings, the husband certainly wouldn’t want to hear that.

So, she wisely said nothing negative about Old Fourth.

"Dear, I didn’t expect Old Fourth would call in Xiao Wei and his brother."

Li Yungui snorted in his heart, Old Fourth was just being clever. But his wife was right, who was Xiao Wei to him?

"I’m mainly worried about the second son’s job. Director Zhuang agreed. Even if the second son isn’t good, we hope he doesn’t get sent back after just a few days."

"If he works hard, what’s there to worry about?

If he doesn’t work well, just like at the farm, he’ll be sent back." But Li Yungui still thought about telling the second son tomorrow, whether he listens or not is his business.

He’s done his duty as an uncle.

Li Yungui fell asleep while talking. There’s no time to be idle even if it’s not tiring.

When the couple heard noise outside, they were startled awake.

"Changhe?"

"Mom, Dad, I’m back."

The couple was relieved. "Mom, Dad, should I come in?"

"Come in quickly, what’s going on?" Qu Xiaoli worriedly looked at her third son.

"Mom, Dad, my Aunt Fourth divorced my Uncle Fourth because she wanted to live in the city.

She kept pressing Brother Dongxiang about when he’s buying a house in the city.

Brother Dongxiang was really upset. He said even if a house is bought in the city, it would be on a rotational basis with the other brothers when Aunt Fourth turns sixty, only then she could come live in the city."
