Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai You Fu sighed and stomped his foot: "This matter, how did it end up like this……"

But perhaps Chai You Fu was afraid stomping too hard would kick up dust, so even though he stomped his foot, he didn't look particularly angry; instead, he seemed a bit guilty.

"We're all ordinary folks, life at home is difficult, and with great difficulty Reform and Opening-up has made things a bit better, how could we end up divorcing? We haven't even enjoyed these good days for a few days…… Chai Mi, we can't compare to those rich people in southern cities who divorce at the drop of a hat. You…… you should persuade your mom, absolutely don't be impulsive. If they divorce, later when your younger sister goes to school, won't people say she's a child without a mother……"

Chai You Fu was thinking that if they divorced, it would affect the child's schooling later.

"It's not like the child would go to the man's side anyway; with my dad being like that, he couldn't raise her. My grandma always says, a daughter is like a blade of grass, raising her is raising her in vain. Words like no sons means the family line ends? That child is better off not belonging to the Chai Family…… after all, we three sisters are all daughters, whether there is one or not makes no difference."

"No, I disagree." Chai You Fu said.

Chai Mi smiled inwardly.

"Second Uncle, have some tea."

Whether you, old person, agree or not probably won't have much impact……

These days, divorce apparently doesn't require the father's brother's agreement, does it……

"Chai Mi, I'm saying this for your own good. Marriage is a major matter, not a joke. Your dad and mom have been married for over twenty years; how can they just say divorce? Although times have changed and people can divorce, divorcing isn't good for either of them. Besides, there's nothing so special that they absolutely must divorce; just muddle through and the days will pass. Later, I'll talk to your dad properly. He's just like this, always busy running around, not knowing which end is up."

Chai Mi wasn't surprised by Chai You Fu saying this.

Chai Mi knew Chai You Fu's biggest trait was loving to blow cow, and leaving no trace.

Why say this? Because when Chai You Fu blows cow, he's usually dead serious. People unfamiliar with him think he's telling the truth, but how could Chai You Fu possibly persuade Chai Youqing?

Besides, if saying a few simple words would work, Chai Mi wouldn't be making a scene to get her parents to divorce.

Of course, Chai You Fu wasn't an utterly evil person; at most he was a neither-good-nor-bad sort. Not a great villain, but absolutely not a kind person either.

"That still needs to be persuaded, to work."

Chai Mi said.

"Don't worry." Chai You Fu said grandly: "I'm definitely able to talk about this matter."

If he can't talk about it, big brother divorcing isn't good for his reputation either.

Later, other teachers at school would say: Chai You Fu's big brother divorced, sister-in-law is Xiao Doubao……

Well…… that reputation would be even worse.

Chai Mi sighed: "Then it's hard work for Second Uncle. Second Uncle is still a good person…… look at my dad, because of a small matter, he's always held a grudge against Second Uncle, but Second Uncle is magnanimous and still treats him so well……"

Chai You Fu was stunned: "What small matter?"

Chai Mi reminded: "My dad often nags, saying that back when the old residence was divided, Second Uncle knew how to read, and drew lots to divide the property. Second Uncle was especially afraid my dad would stay at the old residence and not suffer hardship, that people would become corrupt, so he deliberately wrote fake lots; every lot had the character 'hou' written on it, causing my dad and mom to draw the courtyard behind the old residence. That's how they were fortunate enough to suffer for so many years……"
