Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"What are you talking about? Which woman did I go shopping with? Don't you spout blood!"

Wang Changgen very quickly hid his own panic and guilt.

As long as he wasn't caught red-handed, he naturally would absolutely never admit it even if beaten to death.

"Fine fine fine, just treat it as me spouting blood, just treat it as me having a promiscuous reputation, just treat it as me being in the wrong first, just treat it as me being unfaithful in love, I cheated on you with a man behind your back, is that alright now? I can't be bothered to waste words with you, tomorrow we're going to get a divorce!"

Li Xiulan turned around and went back to the bedroom, she didn't want to say another word to Wang Changgen.

She is just this kind of person, love can be very deep, but not loving is also just a moment's matter.

She is very decisive and absolute, absolutely will not drag things out.

This thing called personality, it's innate.

Just like her son Wang Dashan, innately a stubborn sort.

Seeing Li Xiulan no longer paying attention to him, Wang Changgen couldn't help but feel some panic in his heart.

He just thought, if he and Li Xiulan really divorced, then his family's three sons, who would take care of them?

Wang Changgen's parents have both already passed away, several brothers and sisters have already each established their own families, and feelings have grown distant, his three sons, surely can't let his brothers and sisters help take care of them, right?

And he himself has to work outside to make a living, even more has no time to take care of the children.

As for that woman of his outside, he knows very clearly in his heart, that woman is absolutely impossible to help him take care of his sons, after all she has no blood relation with his sons whatsoever.

Most importantly, he still hasn't let that woman know that he is already married and has given birth to three sons.

"Xiulan, don't be angry!"

After a round of weighing benefits, Wang Changgen's tone softened.

He hurriedly ran into the bedroom, to comfort Li Xiulan who was hugging the blanket and crying.

"I admit it's my fault, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a grass rope, three years ago your matter with He Dazhu and Yang Dafu made a huge uproar, Niu Chunsheng is the Women's Federation Director's successor, how could I not overthink? It's precisely because I love you that I had wild thoughts!"

Wang Changgen gently stroked Li Xiulan's back turned away from him.

Li Xiulan sobbed.

She is already nearly thirty years old, the years have begun to leave some traces on her face, but her figure is still maintained very well.

"You overthink if you overthink, what do you mean by hitting me!"

What Li Xiulan cannot tolerate the most, is being hit by her own husband.

Back then the reason she at once lost all feeling for He Dazhu, was because He Dazhu hit Liao Chunhua.

"It's all my fault, you hit me back, go ahead and hit, I won't hit back!"

Wang Changgen continued comforting.

Even took the initiative to grab Li Xiulan's hand, and beat it against his own face.

Seeing his attitude like this, Li Xiulan's anger also subsided a little.

However the thorn in her heart, still has not been eliminated:

"That day at the market, I saw you and a strange woman walking hand in hand shopping, how do you explain this?"

What Li Xiulan cares about most is actually this matter.

If Wang Changgen really has another woman outside, then she will choose to immediately withdraw.

She can tolerate suffering together with Wang Changgen, but cannot tolerate Wang Changgen's betrayal.

"You definitely saw wrong, I only got leave yesterday, how could I possibly go to town shopping with another woman?"

Li Xiulan asked:

"When did you get leave?"

Wang Changgen answered without the slightest hesitation:

"Only got leave yesterday, originally the factory said no leave, but later they gave me leave, I hurriedly rushed back, only got home tonight, and even bought gifts for you and the three children, just to give you all a surprise!"

Hearing Wang Changgen say these words, Li Xiulan not only felt not the slightest surprise, but instead felt a chill in her heart.

"I called your factory, the people at your factory said you resigned a week ago."

Li Xiulan suddenly turned around, looking into Wang Changgen's eyes:

"Why do you still have to lie to me until now?"

Wang Changgen's body trembled slightly.

Eyes dodging.

Finally forcibly explaining:

"Isn't it because I didn't want you to worry? You rest assured, after the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, I'll go to another factory to find work, the country's economy is developing very well now, finding a factory job is very easy! And the salary will even be higher than the original factory!"

"Wang Changgen, from when did you start, becoming full of lies!"

Li Xiulan's originally slightly stabilized emotions, became excited beyond compare again:

"You as a big man, can't you be a bit more frank? How can you have not a shred of responsibility! You not only let me down, do you deserve that woman outside who loves you!"

Wang Changgen's face became unsightly beyond compare.

He indeed let Li Xiulan down, and also let down that woman outside.

Just ever since three years ago he produced suspicion toward Li Xiulan, that heart began to become no longer so peaceful, he felt Li Xiulan could go behind his back and get together with He Dazhu, why can't he go behind Li Xiulan's back and get together with another woman?

Moreover working outside is lonely year-round, plus that woman originally already had intentions toward him, so naturally the two of them walked into fire together.

"Anyway, I won't divorce you."

Wang Zhanggen didn't explain anything further, nor did he try to please or comfort Li Xiulan anymore; he coldly said this one sentence, then turned around and walked out of the Living Room to Outside to Smoke.

Li Xiulan stood up with a whoosh, growing angrier the more she thought about it; she ran out of the Living Room and roared at Wang Zhanggen:

"If you won't Divorce, what do you want!"

Wang Zhanggen, however, was Expressionless; he no longer pretended, and he also knew he couldn't keep pretending, because Li Xiulan already knew everything about him.

He only said faintly:

"For the sake of the children, no matter what, we absolutely cannot Divorce."

Li Xiulan was so angry her face trembled:

"How can you be so unreasonable!"

Wang Zhanggen spoke again:

"Also, I warn you, don't let me catch you and Niu Chunsheng messing around together, otherwise I absolutely won't let you off!"

Wang Zhanggen is a typical Rural Area man, with extremely heavy Male chauvinism; he has no ability but still insists on Face (reputation); he can cheat himself, go mess around with other women, but simply does not allow his own wife to be disloyal to him, and even more does not allow his own wife to go out and mess around.

Because this concerns his Face (reputation) and dignity.

Hearing Wang Zhanggen say such double-standard words, Li Xiulan was completely stunned.

She never would have imagined that a once honest and dutiful man could become this shameless now.

Perhaps the former honesty and dutifulness wasn't Wang Zhanggen's true face; he merely had no Opportunity to do those dirty things, so he chose to be honest and dutiful.

"Wang Zhanggen, how can you be so shameless, you yourself mess around outside and still have the nerve to warn me!"

Li Xiulan shouted like mad.

Wang Zhanggen, forced by the questioning, could bear it no longer, stood up and fiercely slapped Li Xiulan across the face.

"Pa!" a sound, as loud as Firecrackers.

The whole house, instantly fell silent.

All sounds came to an abrupt halt.

And right at this moment, three children returned from Outside.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Dad hitting Mom; on their small little faces, all revealed Surprise expressions.
