Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai returned to the living room and saw Liu Mei Qi still silently shedding tears, and he felt annoyed in his heart.

He muttered to himself: Clearly it's you, this wife, causing all sorts of trouble and picking fights for no reason, so how are you the aggrieved one?

But he still endured and didn't speak these honest truths out loud, following his mother's instructions to coax Liu Mei Qi.

"I was wrong just now, I apologize to you, stop crying, hurry and go worship the gods, after worshipping we still have to go back to the county town, I have a client meeting this afternoon."

Wang Erhai apologized to Liu Mei Qi.

Although his attitude was somewhat reluctant, he felt he had already made a concession.

Liu Mei Qi, hearing this, became even more aggrieved:

"So, meeting the client is more important than me, right?"

Wang Erhai was speechless to the extreme:

"Why do you have to compare everything? The client is the client, you are you, is there any comparability?"

Liu Mei Qi said instead:

"How is there no comparability? I just have to weigh the priorities, if you truly mean well for me, then don't go meet the client this afternoon!"

"Neurotic!" Wang Erhai exploded with anger, "You're simply unreasonable!"

He had originally come to coax Liu Mei Qi.

But Liu Mei Qi's few words directly made him explode on the spot.

How could he still coax her?

He was almost angered to death!

"I'm just unreasonable, if you don't love me anymore just say it outright!"

Liu Mei Qi was even more explosive than him, stiffening her neck and directly talking back.

"Liu Mei Qi, you damn well deserve a beating!"

Wang Erhai really couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to hit Liu Mei Qi.

He had originally not planned to hit Liu Mei Qi at his hometown, after all being seen by his parents and other villagers would have a bad effect and would lose face for their Wang family.

But Liu Mei Qi like this, he really couldn't stand it anymore.

"You want to hit me, right? Then come hit me, if you don't hit me you're not a man!"

Liu Mei Qi, seeing Wang Erhai like this, not only wasn't afraid, but actually added fuel to the fire.

Wang Erhai's blood pressure soared with anger, and he was about to give Liu Mei Qi a beating.

At this moment, Li Xiulan walked in and stopped Wang Erhai:

"Erhai, don't be impulsive! Speak nicely!"

Li Xiulan grabbed Wang Erhai, then scolded:

"Hurry and apologize to Mei Qi!"

Wang Erhai was extremely aggrieved:

"Mom, how can you side with her, you don't know how troublesome she is!"

Li Xiulan rebuked instead:

"I don't care how Mei Qi is, you must apologize to her, listen to Mom, this is for your own good, for your future little family's good, Mom won't harm you, hurry and apologize!"

Wang Erhai took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and finally compromised.

"Liu Mei Qi, I apologize to you solemnly again, I admit I was wrong, don't be angry anymore, let's go worship the gods together now, okay?"

Liu Mei Qi remained silent.

It was obvious she had not forgiven Wang Erhai.

She had Wang Erhai under her control, and then wanted to push her luck further.

"Then tell me, where exactly were you wrong?"

Liu Mei Qi asked coldly.

"I shouldn't have had that attitude toward you."

"Anything else?"

"I shouldn't have called you neurotic, I'm the neurotic one, is that enough?"

"No, anything else!"

"What else?"

Wang Erhai became impatient and was about to explode again.

Li Xiulan hurriedly grabbed him and urgently advised:

"Erhai, think again, think again."

Then she said to Liu Mei Qi:

"Mei Qi, you and Erhai are a young couple, quarrels at the head of the bed are made up at the foot of the bed, don't be too calculative."

Liu Mei Qi said coldly:

"It's not that I want to be calculative about anything, but rather he hasn't realized his mistake, today he must recognize his mistake, otherwise this matter isn't over!"

Wang Erhai saw Liu Mei Qi's self-righteous look and was furious in his heart, but he still had to endure.

After thinking for a while, racking his brains, he really couldn't think of where else he was wrong:

"Anyway, I'm wrong about everything. I not only said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing, even my breathing is wrong. I apologize to you, so don't be angry anymore, okay? If not, I'll kneel down for you—surely that's enough!"

Wang Erhai made a motion as if to kneel.

He thought that as long as he made the gesture of kneeling to Liu Mei Qi, Liu Mei Qi would surely accept the concession and come forward to support him and stop him from kneeling.

Who would have thought that Liu Mei Qi had no such idea at all.

Wang Erhai bent his knees, neither kneeling nor rising, staring straight at Liu Mei Qi.

But Liu Mei Qi felt completely at peace with herself; seeing that Wang Erhai still hadn't knelt after a long time, she urged him:

"Kneel! Why aren't you kneeling? It was you who said you wanted to kneel—I never asked you to kneel!"

Wang Erhai looked at Liu Mei Qi's cold expression.

At that moment, his heart felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over it, and he was chilled to the bone.

With a "thud," he truly knelt down before Liu Mei Qi.

With this kneeling, his heart also died.

A smug smile appeared on Liu Mei Qi's face.

She thought she had won, but in reality she had lost completely.

"Why didn't you do this earlier? If you'd shown this attitude sooner, wouldn't everything have been fine?"

Liu Mei Qi stood up on her own initiative and walked out of the living room.

Li Xiulan, who had originally spoken up for Liu Mei Qi, was now also silenced by her push-one's-luck behavior.

As a mother, Li Xiulan certainly did not want to see her own son kneeling before another woman, especially being forced to kneel.

Li Xiulan, who had always advocated family harmony and a hundred prosperities, endure if you can, let it pass if you can, now also had considerable objections to Liu Mei Qi in her heart.

This woman, how could she be so sharp-tonghed and mean!

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring out the chicken—weren't you going to worship the gods?"

Liu Mei Qi, who had walked out of the living room, shouted arrogantly.

At this very moment, she had completely become a copy of her mother Deng Cuihua, but she was completely unaware of it.

She only felt a sense of thoroughly satisfying revenge.

Wang Erhai stood up, carried the chicken basket, turned around, and walked out of the living room.

Li Xiulan hurriedly called him back, took some incense, candles, and firecrackers from the room, and told him to bring them along.

She also whispered a reminder:

"Erhai, let it pass if you can, forget it if you can't, sigh!"

Wang Erhai said nothing.

He turned around and went to worship the gods.

Liu Mei Qi had previously said Li Xiulan hadn't bought incense, candles, and firecrackers for her in advance, but she didn't know that yesterday afternoon Li Xiulan and Wang Zhanggen had already gone to the town to buy them, because yesterday was not market day, so they had run around many places before finally buying all these incense, candles, and firecrackers.

When Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi returned from worshipping the gods, it was already noon.

Li Xiulan had prepared a table full of rice and dishes, Zhou Hongwei and the other workers had already returned from the construction site, but no one had moved their chopsticks; they were all waiting for Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi to return before eating together.

But Liu Mei Qi said she didn't want to eat and wanted to go back to the county town to eat there.

Wang Erhai said nothing more; he didn't even have a bit of emotion.

In the past, if Liu Mei Qi acted like this, he would have been angry long ago.

But now he wouldn't be angry anymore.

He didn't stay for lunch and went back to the county town with Liu Mei Qi.

Back in the county town, Wang Erhai didn't make lunch, didn't order takeout, even pushed back the afternoon client meeting, then locked himself in the room and took a good nap.

These past few days, he was truly too tired—not just tired from work, but also tired emotionally and mentally.

It wasn't until after eight in the evening that he woke up.

He felt completely refreshed.

Outside, Liu Mei Qi in the living room cursed and swore all afternoon.

Carrying sky-high resentment, as if the whole world owed her.

When Wang Erhai woke up and came out, she was still cursing and swearing.

Wang Erhai was unmoved by this.

He came before Liu Mei Qi, with a calm face, a calm tone, and said calm words:

"Let's divorce."
