Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Speaking of which, your parents are fairly open-minded, so how did they raise a sharp-tongued, mean-spirited woman like you?"

On the way back, Liu Mei Qi was driving, Wang Erhai sat in the passenger seat, still drunk, and suddenly said such a difficult question.

"Wang Erhai, what do you mean by that? Where am I sharp-tongued and mean-spirited?"

Liu Mei Qi felt indignant.

Wang Erhai said:

"Every word you say when we argue is sharp-tongued and mean-spirited."

Liu Mei Qi retorted:

"Aren't the things you say sharp-tongued and mean-spirited?"

Wang Erhai pulled a long face:

"Look at you, you're arguing with me again! Your father specifically told us not to fight!"

Liu Mei Qi kept a cold face and said nothing.

Wang Erhai then said:

"If you were as reasonable as your parents, we could live well together."

Liu Mei Qi let out a cold laugh with a "chi."

"What are you laughing at?"

Wang Erhai didn't understand.

Liu Mei Qi said at this time:

"That's because you've never seen them argue. Since I can remember, they've always fought. When they fought fiercely, they could say all sorts of hurtful things. I don't know how many pieces of furniture and appliances in the house were smashed, or how many were replaced!"

Wang Erhai's face was immediately full of surprise, he stared with his mouth open, finding it hard to believe.

"Impossible..."

Liu Mei Qi instead asked back:

"Do you know my parents better, or do I know my parents better?"

Wang Erhai was speechless.

It was definitely Liu Mei Qi who knew her parents better.

"Speaking of which, why do your parents argue?"

Liu Mei Qi said:

"They couldn't go on. My father simply didn't like my mother. He always told me that if it weren't because my mother was pregnant with me, he would never have married my mother even if beaten to death! But I can understand him. If I were him, I wouldn't have married my mother either."

"Isn't your mother fine? How did she become so disliked by you?"

Wang Erhai's face was full of puzzlement.

Liu Mei Qi said:

"That's because you haven't seen her true side. She is very stubborn, very self-centered, and very narrow-minded. My father proposed divorce to her many times, but she absolutely refused. Do you know why?"

"Why? Because your mother still loves your father?"

"Completely wrong. Simply because she can't live well herself, and doesn't want my father to live well either. Since I can remember, it has always been my mother picking fights, finding trouble for no reason to argue with my father. She always asked my father, Liu Shanshui, do you love me or not? My father was annoyed to death by her questions. Isn't that obvious? My father had already proposed divorce to her, and she still asks if he loves her. It's really funny. The funniest part is that she refuses to divorce my father. The reason is actually that she can't live well, so my father can't live well either! She said she would even drag my father to die with her if she died! As a result, even I, her daughter, couldn't live well!"

This was the first time Liu Mei Qi confided her family situation to Wang Erhai.

Hearing these words, Wang Erhai was somewhat shaken in his heart.

At the same time, he also slightly understood why Liu Mei Qi had become the person she is today.

"My parents also used to fight all the time. My father always suspected my mother of wearing a green hat, but in reality, my mother had always held to the bottom line for him. Unfortunately, what she got in the end was not love, but hate. They had a bumpy journey together. Now at this age, what romance is there? They just live their days. Now they have let it go and don't fight as much."

Wang Erhai also confessed his family situation to Liu Mei Qi.

He also said:

"You probably can't imagine it anyway. When my mother was young, she was the Village Beauty of our village, very beautiful. But later, she was worn down by life's hardships, grew old, and became ugly. She gave too much for us three brothers."

Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi's families had similarities and differences.

The similarity was that their parents actually didn't love each other and fought all the time.

The difference was that in Wang Erhai's family, the perpetrator was the father and the victim was the mother, while in Liu Mei Qi's family, the perpetrator was the mother and the victim was the father.

This created their two very different personalities.

The influence of the mother on the child was obviously greater than that of the father, after all, the person a child contacts most in childhood is the mother.

Although Li Xiulan was in hardship, she was extremely strong, without complaint or regret, raising the three children with great effort, and did not vent the negative emotions Wang Zhanggen brought her onto the three children.

So although her three children each had shortcomings, they each also had bright points. Moreover, when facing difficulties, all three children showed extremely stable emotions.

While Deng Cuihua, in the hardship of marriage, showed another state. She often vented her dissatisfaction with Liu Shanshui onto Liu Mei Qi.

Several times after she and Liu Shanshui finished fighting and smashed things in the house, she would go beat Liu Mei Qi, scold Liu Mei Qi, and scream hysterically in front of Liu Mei Qi.

And this father Liu Shanshui was extremely irresponsible. Every time after fighting, he chose to leave home and run away from problems, so that Liu Mei Qi had to bear Deng Cuihua's anger alone.

The impact on Liu Mei Qi was extremely profound, even to the point of being hard to erase.

So that when she grew up and faced emotional problems, she simply couldn't find a suitable solution. Once a conflict arose, the subconscious carved into her bones would drive her to solve the conflict by arguing.

So she had four exes, but in the end none of them worked out.

So she longed very much to be loved, to the point of momentarily becoming confused and becoming Zhang Sheng's mistress.

"I didn't expect your parents also argue? I thought they were very loving." Liu Mei Qi said with a bitter smile.

Wang Erhai said:

"Every family has its own hardships; all look respectable on the surface, but whose home isn't a mess?"

Liu Mei Qi said at this time:

"Erhai, let's not quarrel anymore from now on, okay? I want to live properly."

Wang Erhai looked out the window; he actually didn't want to quarrel either:

"As long as you don't start the quarrel, I won't quarrel."

At this time Wang Erhai's mood was complicated; he suddenly discovered Liu Mei Qi was rather pitiable.

And pitiable women often arouse a man's protective instinct.

Liu Mei Qi said again:

"My father specially emphasized that we must not quarrel, precisely because his whole life was ruined by quarreling with my mother; he was originally an employee at a state-owned enterprise in the county town, my mother came to his workplace to make a scene several times, and finally he had to resign on his own initiative, now doing odd jobs at a construction site."

Wang Erhai couldn't help but sympathize with Liu Mei Qi's father; so he used to be an employee at a state-owned enterprise, no wonder when drinking he could speak fluently, and what he said wasn't vulgar talk without substance, but various wine-table remarks with some culture.

"Why don't you bring your father to the county town to live with you?"

Wang Erhai asked this sentence.

Liu Mei Qi gave a bitter laugh:

"How dare I? If my mother finds out, won't she come rushing up to make a huge scene?"

Wang Erhai asked a very realistic question at this time:

"You are your family's only daughter, so what about your parents in the future?"

Obviously, after hearing Liu Mei Qi's confession, Wang Erhai didn't want Liu Mei Qi's mother to come live together; if she came to live together, it would definitely be a mess. If Liu Mei Qi's father came to live together, it wouldn't matter, after all her father was still somewhat reasonable.

Liu Mei Qi said coldly:

"What else can be done? Let them handle it themselves; anyway, no matter what, I won't let them come live at my home!"

Liu Mei Qi's answer seemed cold-blooded, but it was also normal.

She had long had enough of her parents' quarrels; having finally escaped from that original environment, she certainly didn't want to be influenced by them again.
