Liu Shichu married Cui Anhua at the age of 15 and gave birth to Cui Ying at the age of 17. Now she is thirty-seven years old and has a grandson, but she is still beautiful and young, with the glamor of a mature woman.
It's just that her eyebrows are firm and unyielding, and her back is straight. No matter who she faces, she holds her head high and her chest high, as if she will never be afraid.
This kind of beauty is aggressive, sharp, and impactful. This kind of beauty often makes men feel that it is too strong and too sharp, and is not as gentle as the dodder flower of Xiaojiabiyu and as gentle as a bird.
So even though Liu Shichu is beautiful, he is not the type that Cui Anhua likes. Even though the two have been married for twenty years, they still have no relationship, so Cui Anhua can just say that he wants to reconcile with her without any burden. She reconciled, maybe he had long disliked his wife for not being gentle, considerate, and considerate.
"Your father and I are not so much a couple as a cooperative partnership. He works as his general outside, protecting the family and the country; while I take care of a large family at home, and sometimes we can't see each other for a year. Once, we got together less and separated more, so I don’t find it strange at all that he wants to make peace, it’s just like business partners have better choices so they want to part ways, it’s normal.” Liu Shichu said to Cui Ying.
"Mom, don't you feel unwilling and resentful? You have obviously devoted most of your life to this family, but your father not only ignores your efforts, but even abandons you. Don't you resent him?" Cui Ying asked with a cold face. Although Liu Shichu's face was calm, he also felt unfair for his mother.
"What's the use of resentment? Apart from wasting my feelings, it won't have any impact on your father at all. If I hold on to this position and won't let go, do you believe that your father can divorce me for the woman he loves? Now while I'm at it, He still wants to show off, so I might as well be more aware of the current situation and take advantage of the opportunity to get more benefits." Liu Shichu said calmly.
"You are no longer as good as an official now. You know that everything has pros and cons. After your father and I reconciled, although I will suffer a lot of rumors, I will be free from now on. I will no longer be bound to one." In a man's back house, he fights with his concubines and concubines for some petty profits... I can do whatever I want from now on, and go wherever I want. I don't have to worry about your father's identity at all, so you don't have to fight for me. "Liu Shichu tried to persuade his son, but he was afraid that he would get into trouble.
When Cui Ying heard what was said so far, he had to endure a trace of resentment towards Cui Anhua. He originally had no father-son relationship with his father, who he only saw once or twice a year, and was closer to his mother. Therefore, he stood on the side of Liu Anhua. Here at the beginning of time.
"Mom, since you are willing to reconcile with your father, I will not object, but what are your plans after reconciliation?" Cui Ying is worried about her mother's life after reconciliation.
"I will find a good place and build a small manor to live in. Everything will be designed according to my own preferences. It will not be more comfortable and comfortable. You can also take your wife and children on vacation in the future." Liu Shichu He said with a smile, his tone full of expectation, as if he had already seen the carefree and comfortable days ahead.
Seeing her smile, Cui Ying felt a little less depressed and said, "Then everything will be as you wish, mother."
Liu Shichu nodded, and then reminded him: "I will take this opportunity to ask Cui Anhua to separate you. Your father now only has the old love that he misses so much. If he has a child with his old love, you will You will definitely gain nothing, so you might as well take advantage of that woman before she gets in, so that you won’t be tied down by others.”
"Just do whatever the mother says. My son has no objection." Cui Ying said calmly, with no objection at all.
The relationship between him and Cui Anhua is not as good as that between Cui Anhua and those concubines, because he followed the path of a civil servant, from being a scholar to becoming a Jinshi. He followed the most typical path of a scholar studying to become an official. His father Cui Anhua's career as a military commander was completely different, so Cui Anhua felt that he had betrayed the family by not having a son to inherit his father's legacy, so he did not value him, even though he was the only legitimate son.
The original owner was a far-sighted woman who knew that not only was the military attache's status inferior to that of civilian officials of the same level, but his life might be in danger at any time. If the military power is small, it will be powerless; if the military power is large, it will be jealous of the emperor, and the nine tribes will be wiped out accidentally on unfounded charges.
Therefore, the original owner had his son study since he was a child and let him be a civil servant, instead of becoming a dangerous and unpredictable general like his father.
But Cui Anhua's bastards don't know this. In order to please their father, they all naturally aim to take over Cui Anhua's position and have long wanted to take the path of military service. It is also because of this that Cui Anhua prefers bastards who can inherit his career. Cui Ying, who likes to read all day, also said that he is not like the Cui family at all and is a bookworm.
After Liu Shichu made an agreement with Cui Ying, he found out the family's account books, land deeds, shop business deeds and other things, tallied and registered them one by one, and prepared to separate from Cui Anhua.
Cui Anhua was even more anxious than she was. He called a large family together early and announced his intention to reconcile with his wife.
As soon as he made the announcement, the whole family was stunned by the news. It took them a while to react, and they immediately started asking questions.
Cui Anhua's mother, holding on to her exquisite crutch, asked her son in disbelief: "What did you say? Why do you want to reconcile with your wife?"
Of course, Cui Anhua would not say in front of everyone that he wanted to marry his old lover and wanted his first wife to go down, so he made an excuse and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I don't have any feelings for Liu, and we have been living with each other for more than 20 years." Year, now that my children are older, I feel that I can’t go on like this anymore, so I plan to have a good time together.”
Although Cui's mother is usually very soft-tempered, when she heard that her son and daughter-in-law wanted to reconcile, she couldn't help but said anxiously:
"You said it's been twenty years. Since you can make do with it in twenty years, what's the point of making do with the next twenty or forty years? Don't fool me by saying that you have something or not. There are so many couples who seem to be in love with each other but are inseparable from each other. How many of them are truly in love with each other and love each other deeply? How many couples share the same bed but have different dreams, but this does not prevent them from having children and continuing the family. Why do you have to divorce just because of this? What’s up?”
Cui Anhua touched his nose. He knew that he was ignoring her, and he couldn't find any other reason to convince his mother. He could only ignore it and said: "Mom, please don't worry about it. Mrs. Liu and I are willing to make peace. There is no need to give in." The two of us will continue to be together, as long as you know this, there is no need to worry about anything else."
"How can I not be worried? Are you having some trouble? Let me tell you, you can't be a heartless man! Although I don't like Ms. Liu very much, I have to say that she is a good woman. , she has worked hard to support the family all these years, so that you have no worries and can focus on your career. You must not let her down." Cui's mother said with a serious face.
