CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 114: I DON’T MAKE THINGS DIFFICULT FOR QIN MING

"Qin Ming, what’s going on here? Why have you called the director and accountant? Has something big happened?"

Qin Dazhi was called over by his son.

At that time, the director and accountant were already with his son, along with several elders. He had no idea what was happening and didn’t have the chance to find out on the way.

He went straight to his son’s house and saw his wife there with a stern face.

He immediately knew something serious must have happened.

"What could be so major? Your good son here wants to cut ties with us. So, I told him to call everyone, if he’s going to sever ties, let it be complete. I’ll just assume I never had a son."

He Guixiang was indeed anxious when she saw her son calling so many people.

She blamed her son for being so thoughtless, thinking these matters should be discussed at home, not aired in front of outsiders.

She asked him to call, and he really did, being so stubborn.

Does he not know how to ease things with his own parents?

Now it was a matter of pride.

Qin Dazhi angrily said, "Qin Ming, what is the meaning of this? Are you really daring to sever ties with us? We raised you for so many years, was it all just so you could treat your parents so heartlessly? How did I teach you since you were little? Of all virtues, filial piety is the first. Is this how you act as a son?

Your wife is pregnant, how are you going to teach your child in the future? When you grow old, you won’t take care of your own parents and want to sever ties with them? And you have the nerve to call so many people here."

Qin Dazhi didn’t know the specifics, but he was certain that his son was pushed to this point by his wife.

With so many people present, he couldn’t blame his wife, nor did he want to let outsiders know about the matters she mentioned today.

If the outsiders find out, where will the Qin family put their face?

So he could only erupt in anger, putting all the blame on his son.

Since this son doesn’t speak much, letting him take the blame isn’t a big deal.

The accountant, director, and those elders were watching this scene with no idea what to say.

They were also called over by Qin Ming without any explanation, only to hear about such a big issue in the Qin family.

Severing ties?

Nothing like this had ever happened in their production team.

"Qin Ming, it’s not easy for your parents to raise you. No matter what, they’ve raised you this far. How can you sever ties with your parents? When Uncle Lian hears this, even he would want to scold you," said accountant Li Laosan.

They usually worked with Qin Dazhi and knew he cared about face. With a scene like this today, he wouldn’t let it go easily.

But Qin Ming was known to be gentle and kind. Even if his parents were biased and unfair to him, he had never caused trouble.

Today, they really couldn’t tell who was right or wrong.

But since Qin Dazhi said so, they had to accept it as it was.

Qin Ming’s face flushed, but there was determination in his eyes.

Originally, he wanted to let it go on the way over, thinking they were his parents, and wasn’t it said that no parent’s fault could be too great?

But every time he remembered how Jiang Xiaoxiao labored with so much grain to give to her sister,

and the words she said while holding her sister at night,

he felt saddened and wronged.

Qin Ming felt guilty in his heart.

He hadn’t taken good care of Jiang Yue, and he couldn’t face Jiang Xiaoxiao about this matter.

He knew his parents’ temperaments well enough.

Unless he compromised,

things would end up being widely known.

"Mom and Dad, do you really want me to spell it out today? The idea of severing ties was proposed by my mom when she forced me to divorce my pregnant wife.

If I don’t divorce, then my mom wants to sever our relationship. Everyone, can you tell me what I should do? Should I divorce my pregnant wife just to show filial piety to my parents?

Dad! You also said there’s no such thing as bad parents. My wife is about to give birth, am I supposed to teach my child like this? Or please tell me what exactly I should do to satisfy you and mom?

"

Qin Ming spoke these words fearlessly for the first time, and the moment he did, it felt like a huge stone was lifted from his chest.

For years, he had endured in silence, accepting whatever his parents said.

But did he not know his parents could be wrong too?

Could parents make no mistakes?

Was it filial duty to remain silent, always cleaning up after them no matter what messes they made?

Parents can be wrong too, and it’s his duty to let them know what should and shouldn’t be done.

Qin Dazhi was stunned, filled with disbelief that his eldest son could say such things, even contradicting him in front of so many people.

Was this rebellion?

"You... Qin Ming, even if your mother sometimes says or does the wrong things, she’s still your mom, who gave birth to and raised you. No matter what, you shouldn’t argue with your mom. Can’t these matters be discussed privately at home without calling everyone here?"

Qin Ming lowered his head!

He knew his dad would say that.

It always ended up being his fault.

He Guixiang noticed, quite clearly, that her eldest had admitted defeat.

She glanced at Jiang Yue, eyes filled with triumph.

Trying to play tough with me, don’t you realize this is the son I raised? How could I not know his temperament?

Trying to go against me, you’re still too green.

Jiang Yue saw her husband, who had completely backed down, and understood that it was the best effort he could make today to speak up against his mother.

"Mom and Dad, given everything has been aired out and everyone is here today, I’d like to say something. If I say anything wrong, please feel free to correct me, but some things need to be said, and some principles need clarification.

Qin Ming was wrong today. Regardless of what Mama and Papa said or did that was excessive, they are still his parents who raised him.

If, because of me, an outsider, Qin Ming cuts ties with you both,

people will see him as ungrateful, an unfilial son.

Many would blame me as the evil daughter-in-law causing this rift. After all, before I came into the family, Qin Ming was recognized as a filial son in the team. It was only after our marriage that things changed, and people would understandably blame me.

Since that’s the case, didn’t mom say today? If I don’t go to the county to help my younger brother settle his job, then I should divorce Qin Ming. Otherwise, she’d cut her relationship with Qin Ming as mother and son.

To avoid putting Qin Ming in a difficult position or challenging mom and dad, let everyone here bear witness. Tomorrow, Qin Ming and I will go to the county to divorce. I won’t let Qin Ming carry the label of unfiliality. But I also won’t put my own sister in a difficult position.

I’ll raise the child on my own."

The place erupted in shock.

Qin Dazhi felt a jolt in his heart.

He hadn’t realized his daughter-in-law was such a tough character, jabbing them fiercely right at this moment.
