A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Chapter 372 I'm Divorced

Li Chao and Li Wei both took a step back at the same time.

barbarian!

The same thought popped into their minds at the same time.

They are cultured people; we shouldn't argue with barbarians.

"Mom!" Li Chao shouted, "Are you just going to let outsiders bully us like this? We're your sons!"

In that final departure, he cried out in anguish, so much so that Jin Guilan's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Both sons were born from her pregnancy, and she raised them single-handedly. Li Weixing used the excuse of being too busy with work to take care of them, but she managed to balance work and raising them with all her might, and even saved money for them to start their own families and careers...

But did they really treat her like their mother?

Or do you just treat her as a servant to do chores?

Just then, a young woman's voice rang out from outside the crowd.

"Big brother, that's our own mother!"

The crowd made way for Li Meihua to walk in from outside.

Li Chao and Li Wei frowned simultaneously: "Meihua, what are you doing here again? This is none of your business, why are you meddling?"

Li Meihua disagreed, saying, "You are my family. What's wrong with me being here?"

"You're already married! A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. We can handle things at home. You should go back to your husband's family!" Li Chao said impatiently.

This younger sister always sides with Mom and treats them like enemies. It's so annoying.

Li Meihua scoffed and didn't argue with him about it. Instead, she said, "What this older brother said is right. Dad's health is not good. It's a family matter that my older brothers and I have to deal with. Mom has already divorced Dad. She is just our mother and has no relation to Dad anymore. So making a scene here is useless. You should help Dad and come with me."

"What did you say?" Li Wei said angrily, stepping forward to push Li Meihua.

Huang Yuejin acted quickly, raising his arm to block Li Wei.

Li Meihua quickly glanced at him and said, "Thank you."

Then he continued, "Dad needs to see a doctor and will need medical expenses. If he has money, he can use it; if not, the three of us will split it equally. We should also take turns caring for him daily. How about this, ten days a year for each family, it's fair."

She had clearly thought it through before coming, and spoke calmly. Before Li Chao and Li Wei could react, Jin Guilan objected.

"How can that be? You're a married daughter, how can you take your father to your in-laws' house to take care of him? Even if you're willing, your in-laws won't agree."

If he had a good reputation, that would be one thing, but he's a disgraced beast.

Even if Li Weixing is a good person, Li Meihua's in-laws do not agree to her continuing to associate with Li Weixing.

Jin Guilan had inquired about all of this because she was worried about her daughter.

"Taking care of Dad is none of their business. I'm... divorced, and they can't control me."

Like a bolt from the blue, everyone was stunned.

Even the sick Li Weixing stared wide-eyed, and after a moment he opened his mouth and cried out, unable to control himself, drooling.

Li Chao and Li Wei acted as if they hadn't seen anything, only glaring at Li Meihua: "What did you say? What divorce?"

Li Meihua, without any hesitation, took out her handkerchief to wipe Li Weixing's mouth and asked, "Dad, is my idea okay? From now on, don't bother Mom anymore. My older brothers and I can take good care of you."

Li Weixing stared at her blankly.

He never cared about this daughter. At least his two sons could carry on the family line, but what use was a daughter?

But now, she is the first of his three children to say that she will take good care of his child.

"Li Meihua!" Jin Guilan's scream seemed to pierce the sky. "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by divorce? Did your in-laws bully you? Daughter, don't be afraid, Mom will help you get justice. Why are they treating you like this?! I'm going to smash their house up!"

Jin Guilan, like an enraged lioness, stormed off to Li Meihua's in-laws' house to settle scores.

Li Meihua used all her strength to pull the person back, her eyes slightly red: "Mom, there's no need. It's better to leave that kind of family sooner rather than later."

"What kind of talk is that? He knelt down in front of me and said he would treat you well..." Jin Guilan became more and more upset as she spoke.

"That was then, Mom. People are fickle, you know that better than I do." Li Meihua was much calmer. "I'm doing fine on my own now. I applied for a single dormitory room at my workplace. Once it's allocated, I can bring Dad over to take care of him."

The calmer she was and the more nonchalantly she spoke, the more distressed Jin Guilan became.

She pounded her chest hard, trying to suppress the urge to burst into tears, but tears still welled up in her eyes.

At this moment, Jin Guilan regretted the divorce for the first time.

"It's my fault! It's my fault! If I hadn't divorced your father, would they have treated you better?"

Jin Guilan gripped Li Meihua's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face as she murmured to herself.

She even wondered if she should really do as her two sons suggested and remarry Li Weixing, at least to make it appear to outsiders that they were a complete family...

Thinking this, she murmured, "I... I can talk to your dad..."

"Mom!" Li Meihua suddenly raised her voice, looking intently at Jin Guilan. "Mom, don't wrong yourself for others! Not even for your children! We're all grown up now, we can be responsible for our own lives!"

Jin Guilan stared blankly at her daughter.

Li Meihua shook her head slightly at Jin Guilan, as if to say: Don't remarry, don't remarry for the sake of the three of us! Mom, you are free!

Jin Guilan could no longer bear it. Her legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground, slapping her thighs and wailing.

It's all their parents' fault, so why is it that such a well-behaved daughter is the one who suffers...?

Jin Guilan couldn't stop crying. Li Meihua tried to persuade her several times, but to no avail. So she simply ignored her and said directly to Li Chao and Li Wei, "Do you agree to what I just said? Whether you agree or not, you have to agree. Ten days per family. If that's okay, let's start at the eldest brother's house today."

Li Chao wanted to disagree, saying he couldn't even stand five days, let alone ten.

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could almost feel someone poking at him from behind.

After a moment, he nodded resignedly, "Okay!"

Li Meihua smiled and said, "It would be best if my eldest brother agreed. Then you can take Dad to my eldest brother's house first, and then to my second brother's house in ten days. As for me... I should be able to get a dormitory assignment in twenty days, and then I will take Dad there."

Li Chao and Li Wei took Li Weixing away.

As he walked, Li Weixing kept looking back at his daughter.

I saw my daughter thanking the people around her, especially the fierce-looking man who was about to hit her. My daughter was smiling at that man...

Li Weixing struggled for a moment, then forcefully turned his head back, whimpering, "Waaah..."

Li Chao: "Dad, what's wrong now?"

Li Weixing wanted to tell them to go back and protect Li Meihua, but he stammered for a long time without making himself clear.

"Dad, stop making a scene and come home quickly," Li Chao reminded him.
