Chapter 212: Being called to school

Grandma Yuan pushed her aside, "What does this have to do with you? Go to the side."

She squinted at Kong Honghong, "Don't make me beat you!"

Only Kong Honghong was home in the Kong family. She knew Grandma Yuan was an old rogue and was afraid this old woman would really hit her, so she didn't dare to argue. She stomped her feet heavily, rushed out of the house, and went to the factory to find Kong Wu to complain.

Yuan Qin didn't pay attention.

It had to be said that Grandma Yuan's words stirred up ripples in her heart.

Could she?

Divorce, return to her previous family, but...

Thinking of her son whose whereabouts were unknown, her heart was covered in another layer of shadow.

Without Jingmo and Guangbai, Jiusi wouldn't forgive her.

Definitely not!

She understood that man; he regarded his two sons as more important than anything else.

"Slap!"

Yuan Qin slapped herself heavily.

"I'm so foolish," she shed tears, "How could I lose Jingmo and Guangbai? What face do I have to see Jiusi? I really deserve to die." Saying this, she slapped herself again.

Meng Jiusi was very family-oriented, gentle and respectful to his wife, a qualified husband, and a perfect father.

After marrying him, she hadn't suffered much. Yuan Qin couldn't bear to let him go.

It was also because she had lived a good life for too long that her brain had gone bad. She had actually regarded her maiden family as more important than her own small family, and had forgotten that before marrying Jiusi, she hadn't had a good time in the Yuan family.

Ending up like this now was just desserts.

She was truly stupid.

Yuan Qin couldn't control her resentment toward her maiden family and her own mother.

Every step of her mistakes had her mother's hand in it!

Grandma Yuan's old eyes flashed with brilliance. She leaned close to Yuan Qin, lowered her voice, and said, "You're still not convinced when I say you're stupid."

She put on the appearance of wanting to discuss it in detail and said earnestly, "Your son-in-law dotes on those two boys so much, what does it mean that he didn't come to pick up the children?"

An incredible thought popped into Yuan Qin's mind, and a bright light appeared in her eyes.

"What does it mean?" her voice was dry.

"Stupid," Grandma Yuan scolded, then said, "It means he knows where the two cubs are."

Her greedy eyes narrowed, "I think Jingmo and Guangbai are with your son-in-law."

"Otherwise, your son-in-law couldn't possibly not come back!"

Yuan Qin's eyes brightened even more, and she asked hesitantly, "Are you saying... Jingmo and Guangbai are with Jiusi?"

"They definitely are," Grandma Yuan was certain, "Your son-in-law dotes on his two sons so much, how could he not come back to pick them up if he didn't know their whereabouts?!"

Actually, she was glad Meng Jiusi hadn't come back. If he came back, she worried her son would be in trouble.

As the saying goes, don't offend anyone, especially a doctor. A doctor's connections were unimaginably wide.

A single word from Meng Jiusi could possibly make her son lose his job.

Yuan Qin didn't know Grandma Yuan's thoughts. She felt her mother wasn't wrong, and wild waves surged in her heart, long unable to calm down.

She lowered her head and didn't speak.

Grandma Yuan asked eagerly, "Why aren't you saying anything? What exactly are your thoughts?"

"A doctor at the military region hospital, a bright future, much better than your current one. What are you still hesitating for!"

"Both of his sons came out of your belly, what are you afraid of? Hurry up and divorce, go find him and remarry. Don't tell me you haven't had enough of your current life?!"

Kong Wu wasn't easy to mess with and had no feelings for the Yuan family. Even she, the mother-in-law, was treated with coldness and disdain when she visited, and he liked his brother-in-law, who liked to pick up bargains behind people's backs, even less!

Grandma Yuan couldn't take advantage of him and secretly hated this son-in-law. When she learned Meng Jiusi had a better future, how could her heart not be moved?

"Speak!" Grandma Yuan patted Yuan Qin's arm, very anxious.

The Yuan family had lost their house and was forced to shrink back into an old house, which was also rented. From time to time, she had to endure the mockery of her arch-rival. She couldn't take it and couldn't wait to use Meng Jiusi to rise up and slap their faces back.

"Don't tell me you haven't had enough of your current life?!"

Yuan Qin: "How could I not have had enough? I've had more than enough."

In the Kong family, anyone could scold her. She had done so many things, but neither her husband nor her stepchildren were grateful, always harping on her stepmother status and the fact that she had no dowry.

She lived every day in depression.

Thinking of her previous family, she always felt like she was dreaming.

"Then what are you hesitating for? Go find Kong Wu and tell him you want a divorce," Grandma Yuan urged.

"Once the divorce is successful, I'll take you to find your son-in-law! What husband and wife don't have quarrels that don't last overnight? Quarrels at the head of the bed are resolved at the foot of the bed. If you let the two sons say a few good words, what are you worried about?"

Yuan Qin was completely moved.

"Okay," she replied.

Outside the door, Kong Wu twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered.

He pushed the door and entered.

The sound of the door opening startled the mother and daughter who were talking.

Yuan Qin's expression changed slightly, she stood up abruptly, and blurted out, "Why did you come back..."

Her tone was a bit nervous.

Kong Wu sat down comfortably, scanned the Yuan mother and daughter with cool eyes, and said sarcastically, "How would I know about the scene you two were putting on if I didn't come back?"

Yuan Qin's expression wasn't good.

She hated this man's look of looking down on her and looking down on her maiden family! This feeling made her feel... she was terrible!

Kong Wu had been with Yuan Qin for so long and knew her well enough. With just one glance, he could see her thoughts.

Contempt flashed in the bottom of his eyes. He thought Yuan Qin was truly funny. Did she think everyone was Meng Jiusi, who would tolerate her unconditionally?

She was too self-important.

Kong Wu looked at Yuan Qin, "You want a divorce?"

Yuan Qin didn't know if she had had enough of the Kong family or if Meng family's restored reputation gave her confidence, but she said without thinking, "Yes! I want a divorce!"

"Then let's divorce. Go pack your things, and after you're done, go handle the divorce," Kong Wu said crisply.

Yuan Qin was stunned.

She had thought Kong Wu would refuse and that it would take a lot of effort to get a divorce. She hadn't expected him to nod so easily.

"What? You don't want to divorce anymore?!" Kong Wu smiled but didn't smile.

He wasn't short of money. Even if he divorced, marrying another one wasn't a problem.

In fact.

He would be able to marry someone better because he gave a large bride price.

He didn't feel reluctant at all.

The two of them didn't have any feelings anyway.

Before Yuan Qin could speak, Grandma Yuan, fearing he would go back on his word, said, "Divorce! Divorce immediately!"

After saying this, she turned to urge Yuan Qin, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pack your things! After you pack, come home with me first..."

Since no one had cleaned the house since they moved in, it was very dirty, and there were many dirty clothes waiting for someone to organize!

Yuan Qin thought Grandma Yuan was genuinely concerned about her and was fulfilling what she always had on her lips: the maiden family was her home, and there was always a place for her.

She looked at Grandma Yuan gratefully and went to pack her things without a word.

"Pfft!" Kong Wu sneered.

He wanted to laugh out loud. How could someone be this stupid?

This woman had been pitted by the Yuan family to this point, yet she still couldn't see that her maiden family were all jackals and wolves?

Half watching a show, half speechless, he shook his head.

Yuan Qin's footsteps paused slightly. She didn't look back and walked very firmly.

She packed her luggage quickly.

Kong Wu didn't let her urge him and stood up directly.

"Let's go, the office door should be open. Let's finish it early," Kong Wu looked like he had let out a sigh of relief and was very expectant.

Knowing the Yuan family had no money left, he didn't even ask for the sixty-six yuan bride price back.

Yuan Qin: "..."

A couple for a night, a hundred days of grace. This person was too heartless!

Her decision to divorce was correct.

"I can't wait."

Soon to have no relationship, Yuan Qin wouldn't eat another grain of rice from the Kong family. She became unusually tough and retorted to him.

Kong Wu didn't make a sound.

Who wasn't?

The young couple who hadn't been married for half a year handled the divorce accompanied by Grandma Yuan.

There were very few people with the courage to divorce in this day and age. At the very least, within a radius of a hundred miles, Kong Wu and Yuan Qin were the only pair.

One could imagine what a sensation it caused.

"Hey, have you heard? Someone in our factory got a divorce?"

"I heard, I heard. They hadn't been married for half a year. I heard the woman's previous man was taken away, she handed over the house to her maiden family, and even gave her job to her brother and sister-in-law.

She's heartless. To protect herself, she could even abandon her own sons. Two sons... both sold to human traffickers.

After selling the children, she had no burden, decisively found someone to remarry, and now she's divorced again. She's really a disgrace to us women!"

"She remarried, so she remarried, why divorce again? A divorced woman's reputation isn't good."

"I know, I know. I heard that her previous one..." the woman on the same floor as the Kong family flipped her hand, "did that, and is even more awesome than before, with a top-notch future. Could she keep her heart down?"

Everyone present curled their lips, "What a worldly and vicious woman."

"Who says it isn't..."

Good news doesn't leave the door, bad news spreads a thousand miles. Gossip always gets more outrageous as it spreads.

In a corner Yuan Qin didn't know, her once good reputation had become rotten.

At this moment, Yuan Qin looked at the messy house and was dumbfounded.

Grandma Yuan held her hand and cried, "... Our courtyard is gone, we can only live here. It is dirty and messy, but at least there's a place to stay. You live with me, don't mind it."

"Why don't you clean it up?" Yuan Qin covered her nose. A stench drifted over from somewhere, making her head ache.

"Your brother and sister-in-law have to go to work to support the family, and my health isn't good. There's not even money to buy medicine at home. I have no strength every day, and even if I wanted to clean, I don't have the heart or strength. I can only wrong you..." Grandma Yuan's words were full of guilt.

Yuan Qin: "..."

She looked at Grandma Yuan quietly for a few seconds, sighed helplessly, rolled up her sleeves, and got to work.

Grandma Yuan laughed, "Qin, Mom will find you a rag."

She also felt relieved in her heart.

"I'll do it, Mom, you go find out about Jiusi's news," Yuan Qin turned her head, "I'm worried about Jingmo and Guangbai."

Grandma Yuan still wanted to rest, but suddenly being ordered around, her old face immediately pulled down.

Is it too late to worry now?

Those two little brats probably almost forgot she was their mother!

Thinking of the benefits she had obtained from Meng Jiusi, she immediately changed her attitude, "Fine, I'll go right now."

"You clean up, don't forget to cook, your brother will be back soon," Grandma Yuan instructed.

Yuan Qin responded, "I know, Mom, take care."

Grandma Yuan went out and mobilized all her connections, but couldn't find her former son-in-law's address.

There was no other way, she could only go to Meng Jiusi's previous factory and ask the factory leaders.

Meng Jiusi's whereabouts were confidential. Of course, the factory leaders wouldn't talk nonsense and just said they didn't know, then turned to leave.

Grandma Yuan blocked him, sat on the ground, grabbed his trouser leg, and cried, "The factory leader is bullying an old person..."

One shout brought over people who were just starting work.

The factory leader pulled out his trousers and retreated several steps.

He didn't argue with the unreasonable old lady and just had someone call the security department.

"Call the security department over and take this old comrade who is causing trouble away. This is a place for production, not a place for singing operas."

After saying this, he hurried away.

Years of work experience told him that when encountering such unreasonable people, leaving the scene as soon as possible was a wise move.

Sure enough.

Not long after the factory leader left, the person singing the opera couldn't continue the performance and had to leave in a dejected manner.

When Meng Jiusi was still there, Grandma Yuan was very smug, looking at everyone with arrogance, and she had quite a reputation in the factory.

Now, like a stray dog, the people watching the fun were very happy and laughed out loud.

Not long after.

Meng Jiusi learned about Yuan Qin's divorce.

His expression had no ripples, and he only said to the person on the other end of the phone: "I don't care."

First stating his attitude, he then added: "I divorced Yuan Qin and have no relationship with the Yuan family. Don't tell me their news in the future, and don't tell them... my news."

A crisp laugh came from the receiver.

"Look at what you're saying. You're so cautious, you don't even write a letter. I don't even know your address, where would I go to tell the Yuan family?"

Meng Jiusi's tone was apologetic, "Writing letters has risks. I can't let them disturb Momo and Xiaobai, so I won't write in the future either."

The smile on the other end of the phone faded, and guilt appeared on his face.

When Jingmo and Guangbai's situation wasn't good, he wasn't in the capital and hadn't helped much. He felt he had let down his good friend.

"Not writing is correct, it can save a lot of trouble."

The two talked for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.

Meng Jiusi stood by the phone, his mood complex.

He hadn't expected Yuan Qin to divorce and even have the thought of remarrying him.

His lips curled up, his smile slightly cold.

It had to be said that the Yuan family understood him very well.

If he hadn't found his family and was still the person who wanted a home, he would have had more than a fifty percent chance of nodding, even if it was to give his son a complete home.

But now.

He wouldn't!

His parents told him they hoped that no matter when or where, he would consider himself first, and everything else should be ranked after his wishes.

He was trying hard to adapt.

The blood of the Lin family flowed in his body, so being humble wouldn't do; it would lose face for his parents and the brothers and sisters at home.

These thoughts flashed through Meng Jiusi's mind. He adjusted his mood and strode toward the hospital.

In the future, he wouldn't pay attention to the Yuan family anymore. The road ahead welcoming them was all smooth sailing.

Lin Zhao only found out about these things when she received the fourth brother's second letter.

At this time, it had only been a little over half a month since the twins started school.

Learning that the two cubs' homeroom teacher had called her to school, Lin Zhao's eyes were surprised.

"Bao, did you two fight with your classmates?"

Gu Hangbao felt very guilty. Hearing her question, he stiffened his neck, full of dissatisfaction, and said loudly: "Xu Juanjuan snatched my candy first. I told him to apologize, he didn't apologize, and even mocked me. If I don't beat him, who do I beat!"

Hearing it this way, it really wasn't her own cubs' problem.

But.

"Even so, you shouldn't hit people. What if you hit the child and cause a problem? Is this how I taught you?" Lin Zhao's face was serious.

Things could be big or small. She had to take it seriously and couldn't let them develop the habit of relying on their fists for everything.

"It's just a piece of candy, it's not worth a fight, classmate Gu Zhiheng."

Gu Hangbao pouted, "Why isn't it worth it? I couldn't bear to eat it myself, why should I give it to others."

"I didn't starve you, did I?" Lin Zhao ruffled his hair, which was getting longer, "Why are you still so protective of food."

"School just started and you've already caused me to be called to school. You two are really my filial sons!"

Xiang Yubao moved his feet slowly, held Lin Zhao's hand, and shook it, saying softly: "Mom~~"

He also knew that what he and Gu Hangbao did was wrong, but he was the older brother and couldn't watch his younger brother get beaten, so he could only help pull them apart.

"You only know how to act spoiled." Lin Zhao wiped the sweat from her son's forehead, her voice gentle, "In the future, if children don't move their hands, you don't move yours either. You're still young, your hands don't know their own weight. If you really hit someone and cause a problem, it's a lifetime matter."

She knew the twins could understand her, so she patiently reasoned with them.

Xiang Yubao's expression was obedient, "Hmm, I'll watch Gu Hangbao in the future."

"Mom believes you, Xiang Yubao is the best child." Lin Zhao held her son's face, her tone soft and relieved.

Gu Hangbao leaned his head over, laughing carelessly, "Mom, am I the second best child?"

"If you don't hit people, you're the second best child."

Gu Hangbao cared about his impression in his mother's heart and said seriously: "I'll think three times before acting in the future, and I'll never hit people again!"

"Then you're the second best child." Lin Zhao went with the flow.

"Hehehe..."

Just as they were talking, the brand-new door was knocked from the outside.

At the same time, Song Yunjin's voice came in.

"Sister, your package, I brought it back for you."

Lin Zhao got up to open the door and asked: "Did your brother-in-law mail it?" ===== CHAPTER 213 =====
