From Shisan Elementary School to Su Wan's courtyard house, they had to pass through two streets. There weren't many cars on the road right now. Su Wan and Xie Changan walked side by side, neither of them talking.
When they were about to reach the door, Su Wan suddenly stopped and called Xie Changan, "Xie Changan."
"Hm?"
Hearing her voice, Xie Changan immediately turned to look at her with a smile. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Thank you for sending me back."
Su Wan smiled faintly at Xie Changan. She swung her ponytail and turned to enter the courtyard while carrying her large backpack. Xie Changan stared at Su Wan's back for a while before smiling and walking towards his door.
Every day, when Su Wan finished school, Su Guoliang still hadn't gotten off work. Today, Su Wan entered the door to see Su Guoliang and Liu Li sitting at the dining table. Su Qingmei, who was five years old, was sitting in Liu Li's arms with reddened eyes. Seeing Su Wan enter, Liu Li's expression changed slightly. Su Qingmei's gaze brightened and she struggled to get out of Liu Li's arms, running to Su Wan. "Sister, sister, hurry and persuade mom and dad. Dad and mom want to divorce!"
Divorce?
Su Wan jumped in fright and subconsciously glanced at Su Guoliang. This honest man was sitting on a chair with a serious expression. Seeing the ashes on the ground at his feet, Su Wan couldn't help but walk forward and called out: "Father?"
"Mn. Xiao Wan, you're back."
Hearing his daughter's voice, Su Guoliang forced a smile. He didn't go to work today. In the morning, after calling the public phone booth to ask for leave, Su Guoliang rode his bicycle back home. Seeing Liu Li busy in the kitchen, Su Guoliang secretly went to the neighbor's house. Everyone in the courtyard knew about Su Guoliang's family situation but people in this era didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Now that Su Guoliang had taken the initiative to ask, the neighbor originally didn't want to cause trouble but seeing that the honest man was having a hard time, he told him about how Liu Li usually beat and scolded Su Wan.
Su Wan and the neighbors' conversation removed Liu Li's hypocritical veil.
Su Guoliang was heartbroken. He felt that he had let down his daughter. When he was young, it was Su Wan's mother who accompanied him through the most difficult times. Life finally took a turn for the better but she died because of overwork.
After his wife died, he left behind Xiao Wan. This was Su Guoliang's sore spot. These years, his daughter didn't say anything and he was busy with work. He always thought that Liu Li would treat Su Wan like how she treated Su Qingmei. Unfortunately, reality proved that Su Guoliang was wrong.
"Dad, do you really want to divorce Mom?"
Su Wan had already put down her bag at this time, blinking her eyes fixedly at her father.
"Yes."
Su Guoliang nodded vigorously.
"Su Guoliang! Have you lost your conscience? "
At this moment, Liu Li, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up with an unfriendly expression on her face. "Who has been helping you take care of this family for the past six years? I married you and became your slave. I gave birth to your children. Now that your conditions are good, you want to abandon me just because you say so? How could there be such a good thing in this world? Tomorrow, I'm going to your factory to find your director! I want everyone to judge for me! "
"Liu Li!"
Su Guoliang's expression darkened hearing Liu Li's words. "Are you done? You've done a lot for this family and I'm grateful but how did you treat my daughter? Do you want me to call all the neighbors to judge for you? You still want to go to my factory? Go! Go right now! Let's see who's going to lose face then! "
There was a saying that a rabbit would bite when it was cornered. The more honest a man was, the scarier he was when he got angry.
As expected, Liu Li immediately became listless hearing Su Guoliang's words. She looked fierce but in reality, she was just bluffing most of the time.
"Su Guoliang, Guoliang, Qingmei is still so young. Xiao Wan can't be without a mother. I … I won't hit or scold her in the future, okay? If you divorce me, who will you find? Which woman is willing to worry about you and take care of your child like me? "
Seeing that Su Guoliang was determined, Liu Li immediately softened her tone. She turned around and grabbed Su Wan. "Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan, don't be angry with your mother. Mother promises, promises that she won't hit or scold you in the future. Persuade your father. If we really divorce, what will you and your sister do? "
Hearing Liu Li's promise, Su Wan sneered inside but still revealed a hesitant expression. "Father, mother, she …" "Xiao Wan, don't worry about adult matters."
Su Guoliang sighed. He thought about it for the entire day. As a man, he had an undeniable responsibility towards his family. If he couldn't even take care of his daughter and protect her, then how could he be a man and a father?
"Wah! Wah! "
The moment Su Guoliang said this, Su Qingmei immediately sat on the ground and cried. "I want my mother. Father, I want my mother. I don't want a stepmother!"
This child …
Hearing Su Qingmei's words and her cries, Su Guoliang froze. Liu Li immediately squatted down and hugged Su Qingmei tightly. "My pitiful child, don't cry. Mommy won't leave you. Su Guoliang, I was wrong and I'll change. Do you dare to give your two daughters to another woman?" Su Qingmei's eyes widened.
For the first time, Su Guoliang hesitated hearing his daughter's crying and Liu Li's words.
Indeed. Although Liu Li was Su Wan's stepmother, she was at least Su Qingmei's biological mother.
If he divorced Su Qingmei, how could he give his two children to another woman?
Needless to say, the female lead was really smart. She accurately grasped Su Guoliang's weakness.
"Father."
Seeing the change in the situation, Su Wan immediately walked up and gently tugged on Su Guoliang's sleeves. "Father, don't divorce mother. Mother treats me really well. She hit me because I wasn't sensible when I was young. Now that I've grown up and become sensible, mother definitely won't hit me in the future. Am I right, mother?"
Saying this, Su Wan widened her eyes and looked at Liu Li with a clear gaze. Liu Li froze and then nodded furiously. "Yes, yes, yes. Xiao Wan is the most obedient. Mother won't hit you!"
Sigh.
Su Guoliang sighed. He silently turned around and walked back to his room.
Seeing this, Liu Li finally heaved a sigh of relief while hugging her daughter.
In this day and age, divorce was a huge matter for a woman. Furthermore, Liu Li truly liked Su Guoliang, an honest man. She knew that if she lost this man, she might not be able to meet a second Su Guoliang in this lifetime.
"Xiao Wan."
Wiping Su Qingmei's tears, Liu Li immediately smiled at Su Wan. "Xiao Wan, what do you want to eat tonight? Mother will cook for you."
"Mn, let's eat ribs. Sister likes them."
Su Wan looked at Liu Li innocently and murmured. Liu Li smiled. "Okay, let's eat the ribs."
After Liu Li went to the kitchen, Su Wan also returned to her room. Just as she put down her bag, Su Qingmei's small figure appeared in front of Su Wan.
"Sister."
"Mn, what's wrong?"
Su Wan picked up the stationery box while looking at Su Qingmei at the door.
"Sister, don't be angry at mother. She won't hit you in the future. Also … when Qingmei grows up, she can protect you too!"
Su Wan: Heh.
What deep sisterly love!
Why didn't you protect your sister in your past life? Now that you want to steal your sister's man, you feel guilty and know how to protect your sister?
Screw sisterly love.
Su Wan sneered inside but still revealed a moved expression. "Thank you, Qingmei. I know you're a good girl."
Therefore, fake loli and whatnot, hurry up and chase after your fake shota. Of course, whether or not she could catch him was a problem.
Xie Changan …
