âMom, if Song Yao wants a divorce, so be it.â Yu Yong spread his hands, having no intention of making things right.
âHow did I give birth to a son like you? Who will take care of you after you get a divorce?â Chen Lian asked.
However, Yu Yong still looked unconcerned.
As his mother, how could Chen Lian not understand his personality? Since he had made a decision, ten cows would not be able to pull him back.
âAlright, you guys can get a divorce, but the child must belong to our family, right?â Chen Lian clenched her fists.
Now that they had lost their land and reputation, they had to keep the Yu familyâs grandson.
However, among the villagers who were watching the show outside the door, someone said, âThe Yu family has already given their grandson away. Song Yao went through so much trouble to find the child. The Yu family is going to have another grandson now. Isnât this bullying Song Yao for being honest?â
Chen Lianâs neck turned red.
Song Yao also said firmly, âYou canât take my child away!â
âThis is our Yu familyâs grandson! Itâs not up to a woman like you to decide.â Chen Lian pointed at Song Yao and scolded angrily.
âIn-law, youâre wrong. Our daughter gave birth to the child too,â Gu Li retorted.
âWomen should follow their fathers at home and their husbands when they get married. This is a rule set by our ancestors! If you marry into our family, you belong to our family. Itâs the same for our son. Youâre not the head of our family. Why should you decide whether our Yu familyâs descendants will stay or leave?â Chen Lian said.
Seeing Song Yao glare at her, she smiled disdainfully. âYou still want your child? You canât get a divorce!â
Wasnât she just being unreasonable?
Li En looked at Chen Lianâs feudal thoughts and held his chin in silence for a long time. There was a sense of vicissitude in his eyes.
It was only when he saw that the Song family was about to flare up again that he stood up and said, âI think weâll put this matter aside for now. All of you go back to your homes and calm down first. After a week, when youâre sure you want to leave, come and find me with your marriage certificate.â
âAlright, thatâs all for today. Youâre dismissed.â Without waiting for the two families to say anything else, he dismissed everyone.
Chen Lianâs heart immediately burned with anger.
âHey, what do you mean? In the beginning, you wanted to get involved in our matters, but now you donât care,â Chen Lian said.
âIâm telling you all to go home and calm down before we talk.â Li En said, âThey are young people who canât think straight for a moment and want to get a divorce. They are all angry and impulsive. When they calm down and think it through, they will reconcile.â
âYouâre talking nonsense!â Chen Lian didnât believe him.
Li En clicked his tongue. âThink about it. When you quarreled with Yu Chun, did you also have the thought of divorcing him? But after calming down, did the two of you get together again?â
When Chen Lian heard this, she suddenly understood. She had indeed thought of this before, but for the sake of the future, how could she dare to divorce Yu Chun just like that?
Song Yao was exactly the same as when she was throwing a tantrum.
âWill this work?â
Li Enâs words were not unreasonable. Knowing that Yu Yong and Song Yao still had hope of reconciling, Chen Lian softened her attitude.
The matter of forcing the two children to not get a divorce had also been postponed for a while.
Yu Yong came in front of Song Yao and sighed. âLetâs go home.â
âI want to bring my child back to my family,â Song Yao said as she carried the child.
Yu Yong was helpless, but he listened to the Village Council Member. Song Yao was still angry. It was good that their families were separated.
Moreover, the child would follow his mother first, so he didnât have to worry about taking care of him. He agreed. âAlright, Iâll look for you in a week.â
Song Yao nodded and the two of them parted ways.
Before leaving, Li En called out to the Song family again.
He asked Song Yao, âSong Yao, are you really going to divorce Yu Yong? If you really divorce him, youâll be criticized by the villagers for taking care of the child alone.â
âVillage Council Member, do you mean that I can bring my Baby Xuan along after the divorce?â Song Yao was pleasantly surprised.
Li En, on the other hand, sized up her with a strange expression. Song Yao gave him a different impression from the other women in the village.
He seemed to see something new in Song Yaoâs eyes. It was like a fire burning in the darkness, making his eyes light up.
Li En adjusted his glasses and said, âLogically speaking, we can help you fight for the childâs custody. But who is in charge of this child? The most important thing is still for your two families to discuss.â
Song Yao knew that it was enough for Yu Xuan to follow her. A smile appeared on her face.
