Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 278 He Daqing agreed on behalf of his son

Just as the third aunt was hanging the washed clothes one by one on the clothesline, her eyes were inadvertently attracted by a group of people.

She looked up and saw Liu Xiuxiu with two women and one man walking into the courtyard aggressively. The three aunts were shocked when they saw this, thinking that Liu Xiuxiu usually came alone, but today she came with so many people. Could it be that something happened?

She quickly put down the clothes in her hands and walked quickly towards Liu Xiuxiu, with concern and vigilance on her face: "Xiuxiu, you didn't go to work today? Who are these people?" As she spoke, she looked at these people with a scrutinizing gaze.

When Liu Xiuxiu saw the third aunt, a complex emotion flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure. She briefly introduced:

"Aunt, this is my family, my mother, my brother and my sister-in-law. I have something else to do, so I'll go home first and talk to you later." After saying that, she didn't say anything more, turned around and walked home with her family.

The third aunt looked at Liu Xiuxiu's back, feeling puzzled. She remembered that Liu Xiuxiu didn't seem to have any family, so how come she suddenly had one?

She stood there, following the backs of Liu Xiuxiu and her group, trying to figure out something from their behavior.

Liu Xiuxiu didn't notice the puzzled look of the three aunts behind her. She walked straight to her door with her family. She opened the door, motioned her family to go in first, and then followed in.

He Daqing was sitting in the room. When he saw Liu Xiuxiu coming in with her family, he raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

Liu Xiuxiu seemed a little nervous. She avoided He Daqing's line of sight and said directly: "Dad, this is my mom, my brother and my sister-in-law. They came here today to talk to you about something." After that, she stopped talking and just stood quietly aside.

"Do you have something to tell me? I think there is nothing for us to talk about." When He Daqing heard Liu Xiuxiu's words, his brows furrowed, and there was a hint of coldness and confusion in his tone.

He did not ask the visitor to sit down, but stood up directly, folded his hands in front of his chest, and waited for Liu Xiuxiu's answer.

Liu Xiuxiu's sister-in-law Wang Cuicui was attracted by the furnishings in the room as soon as she entered the door. Her eyes scanned every corner carefully like a scanner.

Her gaze lingered on the exquisite furniture and decorations. The more she looked, the brighter her eyes became. She secretly thought how nice it would be if these items could become her own.

Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother was more direct and eager. She took a few steps forward and stood in front of He Daqing, with a hint of disdain and arrogance on her face.

She said, "I am Liu Xiuxiu's mother, your former in-law. I came here today not to talk about anything else, but to discuss the divorce between my daughter and your son."

"Divorce?" He Daqing's voice rose a few notches when he heard the word. He looked at Liu Xiuxiu and her stepmother in surprise, his eyes flickering back and forth between them.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then asked, "Is this your idea or Xiuxiu's?"

Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother coughed lightly when she heard this, and seemed to feel a little guilty. She avoided He Daqing's gaze and did not answer directly:

"Well, why do you care whose idea it was? We are talking about divorce now. As long as we get divorced, what does it matter?" There was a hint of impatience and contempt in her words, as if divorce was just a trivial matter to her.

He Daqing looked at Liu Xiuxiu in silence, knowing that this was her decision. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said decisively: "Divorce, I can agree on behalf of Sha Zhu. However, the child must be raised by the old He family."

When Liu Xiuxiu heard this, her face turned pale instantly. She bit her lower lip tightly, and her eyes flashed with determination. She shouted directly: "No! I carried this child for ten months and gave birth to him. He must stay with me!"

He Daqing shook his head expressionlessly and said firmly, "Nothing is impossible. If you agree, I will agree to your divorce; if you disagree, then we can just drag it out. But I must tell you that the child is the blood of our He family, and he must stay in the He family."

Liu Xiuxiu's expression changed again and again, her heart was full of struggle and contradiction. She looked at He Daqing's determined eyes and knew that she could not change his decision.

She turned to look at her stepmother, hoping she could give her some support, but her stepmother just remained silent, and it was obvious that she would not help make a decision on this matter.

Liu Xiuxiu took a deep breath, she knew she had to make a choice. She glanced at her son who was sleeping soundly in the crib put by He Daqing, her heart filled with reluctance and guilt.

But she knew that she couldn't sacrifice her future for her child. She gritted her teeth and said with difficulty: "Okay, I agree to divorce. But I want half of the He family's savings and a share of the house."

He Daqing frowned when he heard this, but he did not refuse directly. He was silent for a moment, and then said: "You can talk to Sha Zhu about the deposit, but the house is mine and has nothing to do with Sha Zhu, so I can't give it to you."

He Daqing did not say that the house had actually been given to He Yuzhui long ago, but he just didn't want to give it to Liu Xiuxiu.

After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Liu Xiuxiu gradually became firm in her thoughts. She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at He Daqing's calm and determined eyes. She knew that this was a decision that could not be changed.

So, she nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed to He Daqing's proposal. Seeing this, He Daqing said nothing more. He turned around and walked out, found the third aunt who was looking towards his home in the yard, whispered a few words, and asked her to help take care of little Chang'an.

Then he led Liu Xiuxiu and her stepmother, and the group walked silently towards the steel mill.
