Chapter 1847: A Shift in Stance

Father Su lectured his daughter, but he still listened to her and truly did as she asked.

Monday.

Su Qiangying appeared at the Civil Affairs Bureau on time; this time Moli did not break his promise, he arrived as agreed, even earlier than she did.

"You're here, let's go in." He turned to go inside, but Su Qiangying did not follow.

Moli noticed, turned back, and asked her: "What, do you regret it? You said that anyone who regrets it is a dog!"

Su Qiangying gripped her bag with both hands, her confidence lacking but her voice loud: "Who regrets it? I didn't bring the household register, my dad hid it and won't give it to me."

A little voice in her heart was screaming: "Ask me to stay, hurry and ask me to stay, as long as you admit you're wrong and soften your stance, I will forgive you immediately!"

However, he did not!

Moli said: "Oh, is that so... then go back and get it. I believe that with your ability, let alone it being hidden, even if it were destroyed, you would come up with the best solution."

Su Qiangying:...

"Can you not be so sarcastic when you talk?"

"I learned it all from you, heh, but don't worry, it won't happen again. Don't you especially hate seeing me? We're divorcing today, and after this, we won't have any relationship, and you won't need to see me again."

"Fine, then you wait, I'll go back and get a replacement immediately."

Su Qiangying was used to having the last word; how could she endure her "authority" being challenged?

She immediately took a taxi home to get the household register.

Her father would not give her the register and told her: "Let Moli come and tell me himself, I can't listen to you."

Tell him himself?

That was a good idea.

So Su Qiangying righteously called Moli: "You tell my dad, no matter what I say, my dad won't give me the household register."

Father Su took the phone and said pleasantly to his son-in-law: "Moli, come over quickly. Teacher Zhao went fishing over the weekend and gave me two big carp; we're having grilled fish for lunch."

Su Qiangying:...

The key was, the person on the other end actually agreed!

"Alright Dad, I'll be there immediately."

Moli came, and he brought osmanthus wine, roast goose from Hua's, Ma's steamed dumplings, and a side dish from the street corner.

The roast goose and steamed dumplings were Father Su's favorites, Mother Su liked the osmanthus wine and the side dish, and the grilled fish was what Moli liked to eat; the three of them looked more like a loving family, while Su Qiangying seemed like the outsider.

Seeing Moli, her parents immediately and affectionately let him in: "Moli is here, come in quickly, wash your hands and eat."

Moli said: "Dad, I heard you don't want to give the household register..."

He was interrupted by Father Su halfway through his sentence.

"Whether I give it or not, it's too late now. Since you'll miss the lunch break at the Civil Affairs Bureau, you might as well eat lunch at home before going."

That seemed to make a lot of sense.

So they washed their hands and ate.

Mother Su brought out four cups and placed one in front of everyone. Su Qiangying didn't understand her mother's intention at first and wanted to refuse: "I'm not drinking..."

Her mother gave her a look, and she understood.

She immediately took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle and pour the drinks.

If they drank too much, they wouldn't have to go in the afternoon; as for tomorrow, they would deal with tomorrow's matters tomorrow.

That was what she thought in her heart, but she spoke very firmly: "This meal today is a breakup meal; it's not like we can't have a drink at a breakup meal."

Her mother kicked her under the table.

A dead duck with a stiff beak—that was exactly her!

Is it so hard to soften up a little?

For some people, it is very hard.

The grilled fish Father Su made was indeed delicious. They chatted while eating, and the wine was sweet and didn't feel strong, so they drank quite a bit without realizing it.

Su Qiangying drank too much, and once she was drunk, she started to cry. She accused Moli of why he didn't insist anymore.

Moli seemed to be drunk too, because he started to talk back.

He said: "You bully me, I can endure it, but picking at other people's scars is too immoral; this is a matter of character."

Su Qiangying disagreed, she said: "I didn't mean it, I just said it unintentionally, is that such an unforgivable crime?"

Moli said: "You didn't mean it—one lighthearted sentence and you can brush off all your mistakes. What about others? What about me? Your requirements for others are always higher than your requirements for yourself; that's too double-standard."

"I'm tired of always giving in to you. I usually give in to you, not because I'm afraid of you. Since you insist on a divorce, then let's divorce; everyone can live without the other."

Su Qiangying started to cry; she was very sad.

She said: "Sheng Moli, you really have no conscience. How have I treated you all these years? I gave you my heart and soul, and you actually want to divorce me for someone else?"

Moli retorted: "You were the one who proposed the divorce, not me; I just agreed to it. Don't always think you're in the right. If you're wrong, you have to admit your mistake. You don't forgive others when they're wrong, but when you're wrong, you refuse to admit it. Think about it yourself, is that how it is?"

After Moli finished speaking, he left.

Su Qiangying locked herself in her room and had a good cry.

After crying, she decided to go apologize to Lu Feifei.

If she was wrong, she was wrong. Moli was right; if there is a mistake, one must admit it, one cannot refuse to acknowledge it!

Sometimes, blind tolerance cannot make the other party stop; they will only think they are entirely right and you are entirely wrong.

Appropriate counterattacks are very necessary.

At Litian's home.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"You're not bringing your keys again, honestly, Baobao just fell asleep..."

Lu Feifei said as she opened the door, and seeing Su Qiangying standing at the entrance, she was stunned: "Why is it you?"

If Litian were home, he would certainly have closed the door without hesitation, but Lu Feifei still felt too embarrassed to do so.

Their relationship had been quite good in the past; they couldn't really stop speaking to each other forever just because of one remark, could they?

"Se-second sister-in-law, I miss Baobao."

Su Qiangying's face turned red from holding it in; she had originally come to apologize, but she couldn't bring herself to say the words of apology, and instead, she ended up blurting out that sentence.

"Come in. Baobao just woke up and is playing by herself."

Once Su Qiangying was allowed inside, she immediately beamed with joy and began moving things into the room.

Diapers.

Formula.

A doll.

Clothes.

All kinds of toys.

Finally, there was even an imported children's stroller!

"Goodness, why did you buy so many things? This must have cost quite a lot of money."

Su Qiangying had graduated with a master's degree and hadn't been working for long, so she didn't have much in savings, and the items she bought were all the most expensive brands, which certainly would have cost a lot.

If she were a wealthy person, it wouldn't matter, but Su Qiangying was not a wealthy person.

The items were finally all moved inside, and Lu Feifei poured her a glass of water; she took it and drank it in one gulp, but then tears began to fall.

Lu Feifei was startled: "Why are you crying?"

"I, I was wrong... Moli wants to divorce me, he doesn't want me anymore, sob sob sob sob..."

Lu Feifei:...

Fine, she had indeed misunderstood at the beginning.

She had thought that Su Qiangying had come here and bought so many gifts to offer her an apology!

She had even prepared what to say to forgive her after the other party apologized, but it turned out not to be the case; was Su Qiangying saying she was wrong about her attitude toward Moli?
