Chapter 75: step dad 8

Chapter 75: step dad 8

Hu Xialan was paralyzed on the sofa, crying silently. The food she cooked carefully on the table was already cold because no one came, and she was not in the mood to eat. She cried for a long time alone, and the sadness in her heart did not disappear. Even more intense, hating both Han Ze's cruelty and the eldest son's incomprehension.

When she married Han Ze, she was a divorced woman. The two have been in harmony for more than ten years, and they have never blushed. Everyone in the neighborhood knows that Lao Han treats her well and raises her children. She is in her fifties. At the point of divorce, what should the neighbors think of her? Do you think it was because she did something too much that Lao Han couldn't stand her and decided to divorce her? What makes her sad is that Mingda only cares about Lao Han's loss of money, but never thinks about her from the perspective of her mother.

The phone rang, she sniffed, took out a piece of paper to wipe away her tears, she picked up the phone and checked, it was Ming Kai calling. She was both surprised and happy, as if she had found the backbone, and hurriedly connected the phone, her voice choked up: "Ming Kai!"

Liu Mingkai was taken aback for a moment, and then said worriedly: "Mom, what's wrong? Did you quarrel with Dad?"

Except for his stepfather, he couldn't think of anyone who could make his mother cry. Thinking of this, he was even more worried. His stepfather had always been very kind to his mother. Did something happen at home?

Hu Xialan was worried about disturbing Liu Mingkai's study, and had never told him about the family affairs, so Liu Mingkai didn't know that during this period of time, earth-shaking changes had taken place in his family.

Hu Xialan wiped her eyes and cried, "Your father is going to divorce me..."

Liu Mingkai's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "What's going on?"

It seems that his stepfather and his mother had a serious quarrel, he sighed, he might as well call his stepfather later to persuade him.

Hu Xialan sniffled, "Your dad saw that I lied to him, and he wants to divorce me!"

Liu Mingkai's complexion changed drastically, and his heart couldn't help sinking. He asked solemnly: "He hasn't found out for so many years, why did he find out now?"

Hu Xialan said slowly: "This matter starts from the day your brother and sister Pei Ning got their marriage certificate..."

After hearing the whole thing, Liu Mingkai's face was gloomy, and he said impatiently: "If you can't bear it, you will make trouble. You have endured it for so many years, but it's just cooking a few meals. Why do you agree with Sister Pei Ning's words and pretend to be sick?"

Does the youngest son also think she is wrong?

Hu Xialan was aggrieved and angry, and complained: "You also know that those two **** have not been an eyesore in front of me for more than ten years. Putting them first, there are so many people in the family, Pei Ning and your brother are not used to living here, and they have to compete with them every day to use the bathroom, I can't help but want to drive them out..."

There was no emotion in Liu Mingkai's tone: "You can't control this, and more than ten years of hard work have been in vain."

Hu Xialan choked, she also knew that she was impulsive, and she couldn't say she was impulsive, she could only say that she considered her position in Lao Han's heart, and thought that Lao Han wouldn't care so much. After all, it wasn't that she didn't run Han Feiyu siblings away before. I've been out before, why can't I go out this time?

Although Hu Xialan didn't speak, Liu Mingkai could guess what was going on in her heart, he said in a deep voice: "The reason why you were able to run them out before was because they were young and didn't know how to fight against you, so they could only move out. They are grown up now, have been in the society for many years, and know how to curry favor with Dad. After all, they are Dad's children. As long as their impression in Dad's heart changes, your original method will no longer work. The opponent has changed its offensive strategy. You But it’s only a matter of time before they continue to use the original old method and fail completely.”

Although Hu Xialan was dissatisfied with being lectured by her son, she always liked this little son and didn't want to talk about him. She muttered: "In hindsight, things have already happened, and it's useless to say these things."

Liu Mingkai patiently analyzed with her: "Mom, you can't divorce Dad yet."

As for the future when he gets along well, whether his mother is willing to divorce, he will not care too much. Therefore, the stepfather still needs to continue to please his mother.

Hu Xialan's eyes lit up: "You don't agree with me divorcing your father? Or do you understand mom, unlike your brother, who has things that his wife forgot about her mother, and even persuaded me to divorce."

Liu Mingkai paused, and he sighed: "Where can you go after the divorce? It would be great if I don't go to graduate school. This way I can go out to work and support you. You don't have to look at Han Feiyu brothers and sisters."

Hu Xialan was full of irony, and this son was still warm-hearted. She said: "Your grades are so good, it's a pity not to go to graduate school. I don't want a divorce. I will have food, drink and a place to live with your father. What did your brother say after divorce? Mind if I look again, I'm an old woman, what can I look for? We don't have a house, so will the man you look for allow you to follow? All these have to be considered."

Liu Mingkai whispered: "My brother's salary is more than 10,000, and he hasn't saved any money in all these years? I haven't seen him buy you any expensive gifts. I don't know where his money is spent."

Hu Xialan was stunned, Ming Kai was right, Mingda's salary was more than 10,000, he didn't save any money in his pocket, and he didn't see him buy her any clothes and gifts, and he even lived at home at home. It doesn't take that much money to please the company's leaders, so where exactly is his money spent?

Liu Mingkai asked meaningfully: "Mom, you don't know where my brother's money is spent? Does he really have no money in his pocket?"

Hu Xialan's heart was in a mess. How could she know anything? She frowned and said, "Your brother has been talking in front of me that he doesn't have enough money. I asked your father for money to buy his clothes. I didn't care about it for so many years." How did he spend his money, thinking about how many houses there are at home anyway.”

Liu Mingkai said: "Brother is also confused. Dad's house belongs to pre-marital property, how can he be sure that he can get Dad's house? Before he gets the things, everything is false. His salary is so high, why didn't he think about really saving some money?" , Big brother was like this when he was young, he didn’t leave himself a way out when he did things, isn’t he at a disadvantage now? If he has savings and bought a house outside, why should we worry about having no place to live?”

Hu Xialan sighed, and complained: "It would be great if your brother was as smart as you. But I know that he really has no money in his pocket, and I don't know where his money went."

Liu Mingkai smiled and casually reminded: "Where else can I spend it? He doesn't spend much on it himself. Maybe it's used to please his future mother-in-law."

Hu Xialan's complexion suddenly became very ugly. She liked Wang Peining before, and Lao Han often gave money, so she was not short of money to spend. She didn't take it seriously when the eldest son bought jewelry gifts for his girlfriend. But ever since Wang Peining showed her face, her good impression of her plummeted, and she felt very heartbroken when she thought that the money earned by her eldest son was spent on Wang Peining's family.

Hu Xialan said bitterly: "It really is a white-eyed wolf who married his wife and forgot his mother."

Liu Mingkai comforted: "Mom, my brother just wants to marry a wife. Now that I know where my brother's money is spent, it will be easier to deal with it in the future. If you don't let him spend it, it will be over?"

He didn't go to work, and Mingda had money, so he could relax.

Hu Xialan nodded in agreement, and said with relief: "It's still you who are caring to your mother, your brother's salary should be saved."

Liu Mingkai achieved his goal, he smiled and continued: "Mom, what you have to do now is not to cry, nor to tell people about the mistakes of Han Feiyu brothers and sisters, but to apologize to Dad, saying that you have been in a bad mood recently Only when you quarrel with someone, let him forgive you, in short, no matter what, you tell him that you cannot divorce. "

It is true that his stepfather gave all his assets to Han Feiyu and his sister, but the Han family is an old resident of Hwaseong, with a huge network of contacts. He plans to return to Hwaseong to work. With his stepfather's relationship, it is easier for them to gain a foothold in Hwaseong. After all, my brother is superficial. He thought that if his stepfather had no money, he would have nothing to use. It would be a big mistake.

Even if the stepfather has no connections, at least he has a retirement salary. If his mother didn't divorce him, he would support his mother, and they could live in Boya Xinyuan. After he graduated, he didn't have to find a way to rent a house, he could save If his brother can't save money to buy a house, it doesn't mean he can't save it either. Besides, he didn't believe that his stepfather was so stupid that he would give all the money in his pocket to Han Feiyu and his sister.

The younger son's words gave Hu Xialan confidence, and once again lamented the younger son's thoughtfulness and the older son's troubles, she said: "I will call your father tomorrow and ask for his forgiveness."

...

Liu Mingkai hung up his mother's phone, thought for a while, found out his stepfather's phone number, and dialed it.

Han Ze was not surprised to receive a call from Liu Mingkai, he asked with a smile, "How are you doing at school?"

Liu Mingkai smiled gently and said: "Fortunately, I just miss home. I miss you and my mother. Fortunately, I will be able to go home soon."

Facing his stepfather's concern, he sometimes thinks that it would be great if Han Ze was his biological father, but that's just a thought, after fantasizing, he still has to face reality.

Thinking of his father in prison, his face became ugly. He will be released from prison in two years. He knows what kind of character his father is. Even if he has been in prison for so many years, his temperament may not be able to change. His scalp tingles at the thought of what he will do when he gets out of prison.

He was even more determined not to let his mother and stepfather divorce. If his mother and stepfather hadn't divorced, his biological father would not have been entangled with them, and it would most likely be his stepfather.

Since the stepfather gave all the money to his children, let's solve their father's problems after he was released from prison. It's time for him to pay back after calling him father for so many years.

This Liu Mingkai is more vicious than Liu Mingda, Han Ze is not willing to tell him his heart, his tone is dull: "Mingkai, you probably don't know yet, I plan to divorce your mother."

Liu Mingkai was stunned, and then his heart sank. He didn't expect his stepfather to confess to him. He pretended not to know, and asked, "Dad, you, what happened to you and Mom?"

Han Ze sighed and said, "If you want to know the reason, ask your mother."

Liu Mingkai said sadly: "Dad, you and Mom have such a good relationship. You haven't blushed for more than ten years. What is there to overcome? You have to make a divorce? Besides, I'm about to graduate, and I can provide for you soon. After divorce, can you still be my father? So Dad, don't divorce. "

Han Ze said: "Is your biological father about to be released from prison? You have called me Dad for so many years, lest he think too much after he is released from prison. You should still call me uncle in the future. After all, your mother and I are about to divorce."

Liu Mingkai said stubbornly: "Dad, I don't agree with your divorce. If you are my dad, you will always be my dad."

Han Ze was moved at the right time, and he said, "I know you don't want to part with me, but for your mother's sake, you should agree to our divorce..."

Liu Mingkai interrupted him and said, "For my mother's sake, I cannot agree to your divorce."

Han Ze said helplessly: "But, I really can't face your mother. Do you have the heart to see me and your mother quarreling every day? Ming Kai, this is our parents' business, let us solve it ourselves, you study hard That's fine, don't think too much."

Liu Mingkai laughed at himself, how could he not think so much. His father is not doing his job well, and his mother is cowardly. If he doesn't think about himself, he may still be farming in the countryside at this time, or he may be working in a factory with the villagers. How can he have the opportunity to study and take the postgraduate entrance examination?

"Dad, you don't want us anymore?" Liu Mingkai asked sadly.

Han Ze paused, and said sadly: "Your biological father will be released from prison soon, and you will not be without a father. I am old, and I just want to live a comfortable life, and I don't want my life to be full of calculations. Your mother, she lied to me. For more than ten years, I really can't forgive her."

Liu Mingkai frowned and said: "My father is my father, but you are also our father. Mom, she didn't lie to you. She was in a bad mood and agitated during this time. You have been together for more than ten years, don't you know her well?" ?"

Han Ze smiled wryly: "Maybe I'm blind. I really didn't see her through, let alone understand her. I really can't figure out what can make her unhappy at home. After all, it's not because of Feiyu brothers and sisters moved back, she thinks it's an eyesore."

Liu Mingkai explained: "Dad, Mom is very kind to Feiyu brothers and sisters, why would she despise them as an eyesore?"

Han Ze said expressionlessly: "Ming Kai, you don't need to persuade me. You know everything. Once people understand some things, they will understand others. I have ignored my own children for many years. Treat it as your own, spend energy training you to study, if you really have a conscience, let your mother divorce me."

Liu Mingkai's face changed completely. What his stepfather said made him understand that his stepfather was not just disappointed with his mother. His stepfather probably blamed his mother for his indifference to Han Feiyu's siblings. He was blaming his mother. Divorce, for him, is imperative.

Liu Mingkai blinked, and he said: "Dad, I was raised by you, you are my father no matter what, you can't ignore me, after graduation, I plan to work in Hwaseong, Hwaseong Municipal Design Institute is quite good , can you help me think of a way?"

Han Ze laughed angrily, what does this kid mean? Planning to use the original body to the end?

He said: "I am a retired old man, what can I do? You are well-studied, capable, which unit do you like, and they have recruitment information, so you can apply directly?"

Liu Mingkai's face was gloomy, but his voice did not change: "Dad, I know you must have a solution, please help me."

Han Ze said helplessly: "Ming Kai, I know that I raised you and brought you out of the countryside. You have turned me into a demon, thinking that I am omnipotent. In fact, I am just an ordinary person, not where you want to go. The company, I can arrange for you to come in. I really don't have that much ability. "

The stepfather's repeated refusals made Liu Mingkai's face very ugly. He thought for a while, squinted his eyes and said, "Dad, how about this? As long as you can get me to the Municipal Design Institute, I will persuade my mother to divorce you."

There is a voice, if you don't help him arrange a job, he will ask his mother not to divorce him. Procrastination has to be delayed until he agrees.

Han Ze smiled, isn't this kid going to pretend to be with him? He said: "Ming Kai, you, are you threatening me? How did you become like this?"

Liu Mingkai smiled complacently. Since his stepfather is going to divorce his mother, is it necessary for him to put on an air in front of him? Achieve the goal and it will be done.

He said, "Dad, it doesn't matter if I change or not, as long as I can let my mother divorce you, that's fine."

He still has two months to graduate and he is in no rush to work. But the stepfather was obviously in a hurry to divorce his mother.

Han Ze said sadly: "You and your mother really let me down..."

Liu Mingkai raised his eyebrows: "So you have to abandon us!"

Han Ze frowned: "It's you who have been lying to me, Mingda is fine."

Liu Mingkai smiled: "My mother and I are lying to you, why do you still think my brother is innocent?"

If the old man doesn't make him feel better, will he still make him feel at ease? Anyone who knows that he has been cheated for decades will be **** off, right? Although they were the culprits, would he care? They just lied to his own temper, and did not do other illegal things. The police would not care about them, so he had nothing to fear.

"Could it be that your brother is lying to me too? Why is he lying to me?" Han Ze asked in disbelief.

Liu Mingkai said: "My brother is not as thrifty as you imagined, and of course neither am I."

Han Ze asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Liu Mingkai said: "For so many years, my brother has not saved any money at all, so you are the only one who was fooled by him."

Han Ze didn't speak.

Liu Mingkai thought he was hit, and he said a little proudly: "So in order to get rid of us, you should agree to arrange a job for me earlier and divorce my mother earlier."

Han Ze took a deep breath: "Let me think about it."

Liu Mingkai smiled, "Then you think about it slowly, I'll wait for your good news."

Han Ze hung up the phone, threw the phone on the coffee table, and leaned on the sofa listlessly. Han Feiyu looked at him and asked, "Did Liu Mingkai call?"

Han Ze stared at the ceiling in a daze, without speaking.

Han Feiyu looked at him worriedly: "Dad, what's the matter?"

Han Ze looked at him and said regretfully, "I'm sorry for you brothers and sisters, they, none of them are good!"

Han Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was something, "If it's not good, it's not good, anyway, you're going to divorce Hu Xialan."

Han Ze said angrily: "Liu Mingkai said, let me arrange him in the Municipal Design Institute, and he will help Hu Xialan divorce me. He is threatening me. If I don't help him arrange a job, he will drag Hu Xialan along." Don't let her divorce me."

Han Feiyu curled his lips. He felt that the old man was doing it for himself, and that Liu Mingkai was indeed more insidious than Liu Mingda. He said, "What are you going to do? Is it possible to arrange a job for him? Are you willing?"

Han Ze looked at him and said, "No one wants to be taken advantage of, but I have been doing it for so many years. Now that the matter is almost over, they still want to use me."

Han Feiyu put his tongue against his teeth, and said slowly: "It's just the work of the Municipal Design Institute. If he wants, I can arrange for him to go in."

Han Ze glanced at him: "What can you do? Forget it, you don't have to ask so much, I will divorce Hu Xialan soon."

Han Feiyu looked at him and wanted to say, he really has a way, but since the old man doesn't want him to intervene, he wants to see how he can get a divorce.

...

The next day, Han Ze called Hu Xialan when he got up, and asked her to wait for him at home. Hu Xialan was very happy, could it be that Lao Han forgave her? Not divorced her? Thinking of this, she regained her energy and began to clean the house, so that Lao Han would not feel that the house was messy when he moved back.

When Han Ze arrived at Boya Xinyuan, Hu Xialan had just finished cleaning and changed her clothes. When she saw Han Ze, she took a step forward with a smile and looked around: "Old Han, where is your luggage?"

Han Ze said expressionlessly: "There is no luggage. Let's go through the divorce procedures today."

Hu Xialan turned pale, "What did you say?"

Han Ze sighed: "Ming Kai told me everything, not only you lied to me for so many years, he and Ming Da also lied to me, you guys are really nice, you lied to me like a fool, if you don't want to affect Ming Kai's work, just Divorce me."

Hu Xialan panicked, and then asked in a voiceless voice, "How will it affect Ming Kai's work?"

Now that Lao Han already knew that they had lied to him, it was useless for her to say more. Ming Da had a job, so she didn't worry about it. Ming Kai hadn't graduated yet. What she cared about most now was Ming Kai's job.

Han Ze glanced at her: "Not only will it affect Ming Kai's work, but it may also affect Ming Da's work."

Since Liu Mingkai threatened him with work, don't blame him for threatening Hu Xialan with work.

Hu Xialan panicked: "Old Han, what do you want to do?"

Lao Han won't go to Mingda Company to make trouble, right? How about that? What if Mingda's job is lost?

Han Ze said indifferently: "I am their stepfather. I have trained them to be talented. Even if I know that you have lied to me, I don't want to be too ugly. As long as we divorce and we don't owe each other, I won't look for them."

Hu Xialan trembled, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Old Han, do you really want to be so heartless?"

Han Ze looked at her: "It's not that I'm unfeeling, it's that you lied to me. I just don't want to be fooled by you anymore. Let's get a divorce. After the divorce, everyone will be well."

Everyone is safe! Hu Xialan thought of Han Ze's threat. If she refused to agree to the divorce, he would probably go to Mingda's company to make trouble, and it was even more likely that Mingkai would not be able to find a good job. It was related to the careers of the two children. She could not take it lightly. Ben advised her to divorce, let's leave.

"Okay, I promise you. But I have been with you for so many years. After the divorce, I have nothing. You have to give me 20,000 yuan."

Twenty thousand yuan is enough for her for a period of time. At that time, Ming Kai has graduated and has a job, so she doesn't have to worry about it. Besides, she didn't dare to ask for more. She was afraid that Han Ze would not give it. After all, Han Ze's salary was used by their mother and son.

Han Ze smiled, "I promise you."

...

Han Ze and Hu Xialan came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and they had nothing to do with each other. Han Ze said: "Fortunately, we don't have any property to divide. I have already given Shu Tao the Boya Xinyuan. You should find a house and move out as soon as possible."

Hu Xialan stared at him blankly. She has lived in Boya Xinyuan for more than ten years. That is her home, and she is about to move out?

Han Ze ignored her, turned around, opened the car door, and drove away.

Back home, he dialed Liu Mingkai's number slowly. Liu Mingkai felt proud when he received Han Ze's call. He asked, "Dad, oh no, it's time to call you Uncle Han. Have you figured it out?"

Han Ze smiled: "You should call me uncle, after all, your mother and I have divorced."

"What did you say?" Liu Mingkai was startled and asked in a panic, "You said you and my mother are already divorced?"

Han Ze smiled and said, "We just came back from the Civil Affairs Bureau, you can ask your mother for verification."

"Impossible." Liu Mingkai was furious. He didn't believe Han Ze's words. He just told his mother not to divorce Han Ze last night. It was impossible for her to go for a divorce without saying hello to him.

Han Ze kindly explained to him: "After all, I know that you have lied to me for more than ten years. Your mother is afraid that I will go to Mingda's unit to make trouble when I am angry, and you are also worried that I will make you unable to find a job. She is really a loving mother. , everything was considered for you, so I hurriedly divorced me, so as to separate the relationship."

After finishing speaking, Han Ze hung up the phone without waiting for Liu Mingkai to answer.

Hearing the beeping sound coming from the phone, Liu Mingkai wished he could drop the phone. He took a few deep breaths and dialed Hu Xialan's number.

Hu Xialan said: "Ming Kai, Han Ze and I are divorced. Don't worry, I won't let him interfere so that you can't find a job."

Liu Mingkai just felt out of breath, and asked with red eyes: "Mom, you and Han Ze divorced, why didn't you tell me? Didn't I tell you not to divorce, don't divorce, why did you divorce so quickly?" ?”

Hu Xialan was taken aback, Ming Kai had never talked to her like this before, but facing her furious son, she felt inexplicably guilty. He faltered and said: "I, I am worried that he will interfere with your work..."

Liu Mingkai laughed angrily: "You are smart. I threatened Han Ze last night that as long as he promised to find a job for me, I would persuade you to divorce. Now that you are directly divorced, he will find a job for me because he is stupid. You are not doing enough. More than a failure."

After finishing speaking, he didn't want to talk to her more, so he hung up the phone directly.

The mobile phone in Hu Xialan's hand dropped to the ground. Regardless of what her son scolded her, a tear rolled down her eyes, and she murmured: "Old Han, our mother and son have lied to you for more than ten years, so you want to take revenge on me. Lie to me once?"
