CHAPTER 965: CHAPTER 966: I MUST DIVORCE

When Qi Fenglian was mentioned, everyone’s smiles disappeared.

"She’s been crying and fussing all day, only just fell asleep." Mother Qi gestured towards Qi Fengping’s room with her mouth and asked, "Taiguo, is this all true? That scoundrel Zhang Jisheng is really that bad? Fenglian keeps saying she wants a divorce!"

Qi Taiguo’s expression turned serious.

"Fenglian herself said it, how can it be false? Stop talking about it now, the kids haven’t eaten yet, go and heat up some food for them first," Father Qi instructed, "Fry a few eggs as well."

Only then did Mother Qi remember that Qi Taiguo and the others just got back and hadn’t eaten yet. She quickly went to the kitchen to arrange the meal. Her daughter was important, but her son was even more important.

"Dad, I think Eldest Sister is right to choose divorce. Zhang Jisheng is useless; he’s just scum. Eldest Sister is still so young, if she continues with him, how will she endure the coming decades?" Qi Taiguo said.

Father Qi said nothing; instead, he took out some tobacco and rolled a cigarette, his movements slow as if pondering something.

Seeing this, Cheng Su understood that the Qi family didn’t really support Qi Fenglian’s decision to divorce.

Qi Taiguo was no longer the reckless young man he used to be. He had been through battlefields, schemes, and intrigues. He knew that his father had concerns.

"Dad, do you not support Eldest Sister’s divorce?" Qi Taiguo asked with a frown.

Father Qi finished rolling his cigarette, licked the end of the paper with his tongue to stick it onto the cigarette, and then took out a match to light it.

After taking a puff, he said, "Divorce isn’t as easy as just talking about it. Especially for a woman, especially since your eldest sister has two kids. If she gets divorced, will she get the kids? Even if she does, can the three of them make it? A woman with two kids, life will surely be tough. Does your eldest sister have the temperament for it? How will she manage in the future, can she foresee that?"

Hearing these words, Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo realized Father Qi’s concerns; after all the talking, it boiled down to the fear that Qi Fenglian would have no support in future.

"Remarrying with kids is difficult too, but your eldest sister will never abandon her kids. I’m afraid she might regret it later." Father Qi added.

"Dad, I’m not getting married again." Qi Fenglian came out of the room; clearly, she had heard all of Father Qi’s earlier words.

"Eldest Sister." Cheng Su stood up to greet her.

"It’s really troublesome for you both to come back," Qi Fenglian’s eyes reddened when she saw Cheng Su and her younger brother, "It’s all my fault for troubling you."

"Eldest Sister, we’re all family, why talk like outsiders? We’re your family; how can we just stand by and watch you be bullied by your in-laws?" Cheng Su disagreed with her words.

Qi Fenglian wiped away her tears and said, "I remember it!" Then she looked at Father Qi and said, "Dad, I’ve thought it through. Even if I divorce and take the kids with me, I won’t get remarried. Raising the kids till they’re grown, I’ll have something to rely on. There’s no need to look at the Zhang family’s faces or be slaved away by them without any gratitude. Anyway, having a husband now feels like not having one, so why continue to wrong myself?"

Father Qi frowned.

"Dad, I must bring the kids back. It’s only been a few days, and Xiao Yun’s already been taught that way by them. The Zhang family is stabbing me in the heart!" Qi Fenglian cried, "How can such a family be a refuge? It’s just a suffocating grave. I must get this divorce."

Mother Qi came in carrying the food, almost dropping the tray when she heard these words.
