Protagonist:
Chai Mi
Chai You Fu then led Chai Min away to take their leave; Chai Youqing was a more straightforward person, and he neither went out to see them off nor tried to keep them.
It was still Chai Mi who held a large basket of vegetables she had just picked in the vegetable garden, and had Chai You Fu carry it.
Although Chai Mi had just brought up the matter of the family separation from back then, that matter happened too long ago; she could really only give Chai You Fu a slight nudge, and it wouldn't have much effect.
Whether Chai You Fu was good or not so good, to Chai Mi right now, wasn't very important. What was important was that Chai You Fu could not, at this time, side with Chai Youde.
Chai Mi knew Che Lianyun and Chai Youde's character; the two of them absolutely would not let the matter rest. It was just that they currently couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Chai Youde might have already conceded by now; after all, Chai Youde's leg was broken and he was suffering, so naturally he didn't have much mind to fight with Chai Mi, but Che Lianyun had only been beaten up and hurt for two days; she wasn't in that much pain yet.
After seeing off Chai You Fu and Chai Min, Chai Mi let Chai Xiu continue playing in the outer courtyard.
Chai Youqing asked inside the room: "Chai Mi, why hasn't your mom been discharged from the hospital yet? Did she really go back to her maternal family? Staying in the hospital day after day, how much money does it cost."
Chai Mi was just walking into the room, and said: "No matter, it's not spending your money, so you don't need to worry about it. Whether my mom is good or bad, none of it is your business. Wait until the third one finishes her full-month, then you two go get a divorce and go your separate ways."
"What..." Chai Youqing's eyes went completely straight; he hurried to the outer room and asked: "What did you say? What divorce?"
"My mom and you divorcing. What's the rush... you've got plenty of time to be a bachelor." Chai Mi said.
"I... I..." Chai Youqing stammered. Then he muttered in a low voice: "How did this happen... I didn't do anything wrong either..."
"Mm-hmm, you definitely didn't do anything wrong, it was my mom who was wrong. Your mouth has been this stubborn your whole life, how could you ever be wrong?" Chai Mi said impatiently: "It's all everyone else's fault, you're right. You're completely right... but it doesn't matter, my mom still has to divorce you. You're too capable, you're too amazing, us mother and daughters are not worthy of you."
"I... no." Chai Youqing was clearly panicked; he didn't even pay attention to Chai Mi, just talked to himself: "The fields have weeds these past two days, and you said the other day to let me go reclaim that plot behind the mountain, so I just got busy... I... I didn't want to..."
Then Chai Youqing rushed out of the courtyard; the look of it, he seemed to be planning to go to Chai Mi's maternal grandmother's home.
Chai Mi didn't stop him either.
She just watched with patience as Chai Youqing cried and ran out of the room, then rode a bicycle in a daze, falling several times.
Chai Mi couldn't help but sigh: My dad, aside from having a screw loose, lacking sense, being stubbornly loyal to a fault, being an idiot, having too many issues, having no real ability, and being hot-tempered... he still has some feelings for my mom.
Of course, his faults are too damn many, almost too many to count.
But sometimes Chai Mi thinks, some things really can't all be blamed on Chai Youqing. Chai Youqing himself is an honest and simple person; his birth father played mind games with him, and his IQ couldn't keep up, so that's forgivable.
These years, Chai Youqing has suffered no small amount of exhaustion.
Chai Mi pondered waiting until another day when Chai Youqing comes back, she'll first spend some effort to brainwash him properly: having a boy or a girl is the same, without us mother and daughters you're nothing, don't spend all day helping Chai Zhongxiao do work, all those unconscionable things he did back then landed on you, Wang Huirong may be your mom but she's also not a good thing, last year her waist broke and she said medical expenses should be paid by all six brothers and sisters, but only you paid, Chai Youde is your brother alright, but he's even more unconscionable than your sister-in-law...
