Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After Li Yuncui hung up on Li Zhenxing, he was furious to the point of death.

Looking at his wife Luo Jiaxin beside him, Li Zhenxing's anger flared up uncontrollably:

"That's your grandson! How could you sell him off!"

Luo Jiaxin's face was icy cold:

"You sure know how to make sarcastic remarks, and you don't have to come back and take care of the child! Do you know, the whole Shanggou Village, everywhere people are laughing at us! Which family's daughter would have a premarital pregnancy!"

Li Zhenxing said angrily:

"Let them laugh if they want to laugh, we just need to live our own lives well!"

Luo Jiaxin was also provoked:

"The problem is we can't live our lives well! You think raising a child is that easy! And I don't see you bringing any money back! How do you expect me and Yuncui to live in this mountain pass!"

Li Zhenxing fell silent.

He lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep drag, and then asked:

"Where did you send the child? I'm going to get him back today!"

Luo Jiaxin said coldly:

"The child is right in the County Town, if you can find him then go look."

At this moment Li Zhenxing reached out his hand:

"Hand it over."

"Hand over what?"

"The money from selling the child! If you want to get the child back, you definitely have to return the money to them!"

But Luo Jiaxin said:

"There isn't any, it was given away for free, didn't take a penny from them."

"Who are you fooling! If no money was given, you wouldn't have been willing to part with him!" Li Zhenxing glared and demanded.

Yet Luo Jiaxin said:

"Really didn't take any money, they said, adoption only, no buying or selling, because buying and selling is illegal, if caught you'd be sentenced to prison! If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"

Hearing this, Li Zhenxing was so angry he beat his chest and stamped his feet:

"Luo Jiaxin, you really have me angered to death! You deliberately want to cut off my Li family lineage, right? How did I end up with such an unlucky wife!"

Luo Jiaxin said coldly:

"How am I unlucky, your own business failed, what does that have to do with me! Don't dump all your anger on me!"

Li Zhenxing gritted his teeth:

"Fine fine fine, you want to know how you're unlucky, I'll tell you one by one right now! Back when we had Yuncui, I said let's have another one, you absolutely refused, if we had one more back then, how would we have ended up in this situation!"

Luo Jiaxin retorted: "You know perfectly well family planning was strictly enforced back then!"

But Li Zhenxing said:

"So what if it was strict? Look at Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan, didn't they still have three! You just didn't want to give birth, say so directly, no need to use family planning as an excuse, we weren't unable to pay the fine back then!"

"Right right right, I didn't want to give birth, so what do you want now? I've already gone through menopause, if you want to have a child go find another woman willing to give you a child!"

Luo Jiaxin was fuming; back then she indeed hadn't wanted another child, taking care of Li Yuncui this one child had already worn her out enough, she didn't want to suffer the same hardship twice.

Li Zhenxing then said:

"You not wanting a second child is only one point! In raising Yuncui, you also didn't do a good job! I said long ago we should strictly discipline her, but you said 'raise sons poor, raise daughters rich', from childhood to adulthood you just kept spoiling her, letting her have clothes handed to her and meals served to her, and look at the result now, what kind of daughter did you raise! Utterly incapable! Spoiled beyond measure! Unable to distinguish priorities! And she doesn't know gratitude at all! This is the useless daughter you richly raised with your own hands!"

Luo Jiaxin lowered her head, not speaking.

In raising their daughter, she admitted she had failed.

Now seeing Li Yuncui's wretched state, she was also thoroughly fed up.

So when Li Yuncui said she wanted to go work in Dongguan with Zhou Zhihao, she didn't say a single word to stop her, couldn't wait for Li Yuncui to leave quickly.

If Li Yuncui didn't leave, even food, clothing, and daily life would still need her, Luo Jiaxin, to take care of.

Li Zhenxing said further:

"Also! The reason my business failed, deep down you should know better than me! Back then if it weren't for your insatiable desires, unwilling to yield even a tiny profit, making unreasonable demands on those partners, how could my business have gotten worse and worse!"

Li Zhenxing grew more and more agitated:

"Ruining my whole life would be bad enough, but you actually want to send my grandson away! You simply aren't human!"

At this moment Luo Jiaxin unexpectedly came out with a cold line:

"That's not your grandson, that's your maternal grandson. Can a maternal grandson and a grandson be the same? Who knows, when he grows up he might just run off, and we'd have busied ourselves for nothing."

Hearing this, Li Zhenxing was so angry his breathing became labored.

"You... you..."

"What 'you you', am I wrong?" Luo Jiaxin's face was cold, "If you love that bastard so much, you should raise him yourself, don't dump him on me! And don't use earning money as an excuse, how much can you earn out there? Ever since me and Yuncui returned to Shanggou Village, you haven't sent back much money at all!"

Li Zhenxing said angrily:

"The money I earn, don't I have to pay off debts?"

But Luo Jiaxin questioned:

"Is paying off debts important, or are your wife and daughter, and that maternal grandson of yours important!"

Li Zhenxing couldn't utter a word, only able to fly into a rage out of humiliation:

"I see you're just itching for a beating, you damn well deserve a thrashing!"

Luo Jiaxin said angrily:

"Then come hit me, if you don't hit me you're not a man!"

Li Zhenxing endured: "Don't think I don't dare hit you! Say one more sentence and see!"

Luo Jiaxin spoke with increasing vigor: "I'll say it, you're not a man, so what, still won't admit it? If you were a man, would you abandon us mother and daughter in Shanggou Village?"

"This life can't go on anymore!"

Li Zhenxing didn't go hit Luo Jiaxin, but instead took a teacup from the tabletop and smashed it hard onto the ground.

With a "crack"!

Glass shards shattered all over the floor.

A chicken-feathers-and-garbage life had pushed both their emotions to the breaking point.

So even though they were an old married couple, this quarrel was still sword-drawn and bow-bent.

It looked like they were about to come to blows.

At this moment, Zhang Zhongtian happened to pass by their doorway.

As the Shanggou Village Committee Secretary and Village Chief, hearing the quarreling from inside the house, he immediately went in to check the situation.

"What's going on here?"

Zhang Zhongtian hurried over to mediate:

"Old married couple, argue a little less, whatever the problem, communicate properly."

Seeing Zhang Zhongtian arrive, Li Zhenxing hurriedly said:

"Secretary Zhang, she and I can't go on, she gave my grandson away!"

"That's your maternal grandson!" Luo Jiaxin ruthlessly corrected Li Zhenxing.

This made Li Zhenxing so angry he nearly fainted on the spot.

"Is that the key point! You'd better hurry up and get the child back for me!"

Li Zhenxing gritted his teeth.

But Luo Jiaxin said:

"Can't get him back."

Li Zhenxing couldn't hold back: "Watch me beat you to death!"

Zhang Zhongtian hurriedly persuaded:

"Calm down, calm down! Jiaxin, why don't you go get the child back, that's a piece of flesh fallen from your daughter's body."

Luo Jiaxin glared at Zhang Zhongtian:

"You raise him if you get him back! The family's so poor we can't even afford diapers, this dead man Li Zhenxing still owes a buttload of debt outside, where's the money to raise him!"
