Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

After working out with Mary, Mark's schedule returned to normal.

Mark hasn't been working part-time at the gym for a long time this month.

So I didn't collect this month's salary, I'll consider it as the gym membership fee for helping Mary teach you.

After hearing that Mark paid a month's salary, Mary, who was quite thrifty, started to practice more seriously.

Even on weekends, Mark brought Mary to the gym to exercise.

Of course, Mark doesn't want to train Mary to be a female boxer.

So the time Ma Li actually spends practicing boxing is only about an hour a day.

Most of the remaining time is spent on playing, resting and chatting.

"Dad, we haven't been to grandma's house for a long time. Let's go see grandma later?"

Mary suggested to Mark after practicing for a while on Saturday.

"You should really go over and take a look. You haven't been to the courtyard for a long time." Mark replied to Mary.

It's normal for Mark not to go to Siheyuan. Even the previous Mark could sense that Ling Mingyu didn't like it and only went back to visit on weekends.

But Ling Mingyu did not have such prejudices against her grandchildren. It was very common for Ma Li to go to the courtyard three or four times a week.

Sometimes it was to pick up agate, sometimes it was to go over for dinner.

Situations like this week where I didn't go there once basically never happen.

This is enough to show that Mali is emotionally lost. Now that Mali is willing to go out and socialize again, it is obvious that she has begun to recover.

"I'm going, Dad, why aren't you going?"

"Let's go to the supermarket later and buy some things. You can bring them to your grandma for me. I won't go over."

"Is this because of the last argument you had with grandma?"

"It's not that I don't want to see your grandma, but if I go there, she will still blame me. Knowing this, why would I go there and make her hate me?"

In order to avoid being regarded as an unfilial son by Mary, Mark must help Mary explain everything clearly.

"Indeed, I also think grandma is overdoing it. The problem between you two is obviously my mom's fault, but grandma insisted on putting the blame on you."

Mary's position has always been clear, she always stands on Mark's side.

"This is the result of not telling her the truth. Since I'm not going to tell her the truth, I'm ready to bear it.

For Mark, not having to deal with Ling Mingyu all the time is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Dad, when you get divorced, how long are you going to keep it a secret from grandma?"

"At least not now. Wait until your grandma gives up on the relationship between your mom and me, then you can tell her."

"My grandma loves my mom so much, is it possible that she would die to my mom?"

"You should ask your grandmother about this question."

Mary was more concerned about this issue, but Mark didn't discuss it that much.

They don't live under the same roof, so even if Ling Mingyu disagrees, it won't affect Mark's marriage.

After sending Mary to the vicinity of the courtyard, Mark fulfilled his promise.

Call Mali's biology teacher out and have a beer and barbecue together.

The two were not that familiar with each other, so Mark even called the "socialite" Lao Sun out to keep him company.

"Mark, you rarely invite us for dinner, so you treat us to these?"

Maybe it’s because Lao Sun is an English teacher that he has a petty-bourgeois vibe that doesn’t match his temperament.

Although I didn't learn an authentic foreign accent, I did learn all these random things 100%.

The most popular thing is to go to a western restaurant to eat western food, emphasizing the romantic atmosphere.

"What's wrong? Isn't this kidney enough for you? Then I'll give you two more whips to replenish you, so that you won't be weak when you see your wife."

Three middle-aged men sitting together are definitely not just eating mutton and tendons.

Kidneys and oysters are indispensable.

"We are teachers after all. How can we sit on the roadside and eat skewers and drink beer?"

Old Sun is a person who is very proud of his identity as a teacher, and he has a noble and reserved attitude towards teaching and educating people.

"If you don't want to eat it, it's okay to watch it. I can still save a little."

"Eat, why not? Is it easy for me to catch a rich man like you?"

Old Sun picked up a string of kidneys, took a big bite and said.

This person is just pretending on the surface. After really eating it, he couldn't help but say it was delicious.

"Old Sun, I can't stop you from eating. It's as if you've eaten less of my food."

Mark has actually never been stingy. The real stingy one is Old Sun himself.

"I want to eat Western food."

"Why are you eating Western food? I'll add some beef skewers for you. Isn't this better than your raw steak?"

Lao Sun didn’t get the whip, but he still got some beef.

"Old Zhou, it's a rare opportunity for Mark to treat you, so why don't you just let him treat you to a barbecue?"

After receiving the compensation, Lao Sun began to play his role and started chatting with Lao Zhou.

"That's good. There isn't much to do anyway. I told you not to treat me to a meal." Lao Zhou replied politely.

"If Lao Ma wants to treat you, just let him. Just take care of their Ma Li in class later."

Old Sun spoke for Mark.

"Even if there is no meal, I will take care of it."

"In that case, Old Ma should be even more grateful to you. This meal doesn't count. We must have another good meal." Old Sun continued to help.

"Okay, as long as my Ma Li's grades improve by the end of the semester, you can choose any restaurant you want."

Mark replied that although he didn't care that much about Mary's grades, he would not waste Lao Sun's kindness.

There are still great changes in the thinking of students in the middle school semester.

Ma Li likes music now, but she doesn’t know what she will like before the college entrance examination.

Other paths cannot be blocked.

"Then we'll wait for you to bleed. Come on, for Mary, and for the improvement of all students."

The three of them were all teachers, and what they actually talked about were things about school and students.

As the main teachers, Lao Sun and Lao Zhou actually have quite a bit of pressure.

Neither of them is the kind of teacher who works hard for their students, but their lives are no easier than those of ordinary workers.

If you really have a little more sense of responsibility, it is common for teachers to work 996.

"Old Ma, how was it? Did we perform well today?" After Old Zhou left, Old Sun started to take credit from Mark.

“It’s a good performance.”

With the presence of Lao Sun, a socialite, the party was filled with drinking and the hosts and guests were having a great time, and the atmosphere was really good.

Mark's purpose was accomplished beyond the target.

"Then how are you going to thank me? With Lao Zhou's special supervision, your Ma Li's biology grades will definitely improve greatly."

"I have prepared a thank you gift for you."

"You really prepared it for me, but it's not necessary."

Lao Sun's request for credit was actually just to gain some verbal advantage, and his original intention was not really to ask for any benefit from Mark.

"Someone gave me a few medical examination quotas, but my family didn't use them all, so I'm going to give you two."

"What? Is this considered a thank you gift?"

"This is not the normal physical examination organized by the company every year. This is a detailed physical examination at a large hospital. If you don't want it, I will give it to someone else."

Mark said as he took out two cards.

This is something Mark had prepared for Lao Sun a long time ago. It’s just right to give it to Lao Sun now.

"Yes...why shouldn't I want it? If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a bastard." "If I give it to you, use it sooner rather than later. Don't blame me if the deadline has passed."

Mark urged him a little more out of concern.

"Mary, do you need to deal with this rabbit of yours?"

When Mark got home, Mary was cleaning the rabbit in the box.

"How to deal with it?"

"Rabbits are not meant to be kept in cages. Would you consider releasing this rabbit?"

They are animals that are easy to raise, but they are difficult to raise as pets.

When it is in the wild, it can survive anywhere, but if you keep it at home, it will easily get sick.

"Dad, it's still young. If we release it, what if it can't survive in the wild?"

"Then you need to buy some feed for it. It's not a good idea to feed it vegetables and radishes all day long."

In fact, what rabbits should eat most is grass, not vegetables and radishes.

No one has taken good care of it these past few days, so the rabbit has been left to languish like this.

"I'll buy it tomorrow."

"If you want to keep it for a long time, you need to prepare a cage for it."

"I'll buy them together."

"You'd better teach it to go to the toilet."

The rabbit is still small, so the smell is not that strong, but considering the growth rate of the rabbit, this is something that should be considered early.

"Okay." Mary continued to nod. After she calmed down, she was in the mood to take care of the rabbit: "Dad, I'm going to go to my mom's place tomorrow."

"Go see the agate?"

Mark told Mary so much because he was planning to send Mary to find Wang Xiaomi. If Mary contacts Wang Xiaomi more often, she will appear in front of Mark sooner or later.

I didn't expect Mary to go see the fields.

"That's right. I went to my grandma's house today and saw my mom there again."

Mary said after a moment's hesitation.

If Tian Ye was in the courtyard, Manou would definitely be there too, so implicitly, Ma Li had already seen Manou today.

"It's good that she's gone. I feel more at ease with her helping to take care of the kids than anyone else."

Mark was not surprised that Tian Ye still frequently went to the courtyard even though their separation was already known.

Even if the two of them announced their divorce, it would not affect Tian Ye's going to Siheyuan.

“I talked to my mom a lot!”

"Oh, how was your chat with your mom?"

Mark became a little curious about Mary's current attitude towards Tian Ye. In fact, Mary was able to stand firmly on Mark's side. Mark did not object to Mary and Tian Ye getting closer.

"That's it. She always has her own reasons. She invited me to visit Manou at her apartment tomorrow."

The conversation was probably not particularly pleasant, but knowing that the two were divorced, Ma Li's attitude towards Tian Ye did not deteriorate further.

During the coldest period, Mali didn't want to talk to Tian Ye at all.

Not to mention going to the apartment where I live in the fields.

"Do you want me to take you there?"

"It's not far. I can go there by myself."

It wasn’t far indeed, so Mark didn’t insist.

"Dad, you're done!"

The next day, when Mark was taking a nap, Mary also returned home from Tianye's apartment.

I left at ten o'clock and came back a little after one, which was basically time for lunch.

"Why am I finished?" Mark certainly couldn't understand Mary's incoherent words and was very confused.

"You and my mother are completely done!"

"The divorce certificate is right there. Of course it's over. Should I show you the divorce certificate?"

The divorce certificate was on Mark's bedside table. Fortunately, Mary didn't have the habit of rummaging through it, otherwise she would have found it long ago.

"I mean you have no chance to reconcile with my mother. Do you know what I found in the apartment where my mother lives?" Mary asked anxiously.

"Did you find anything, Zhao Ling?"

The only accident that could happen in Tianye's side was Zhao Ling.

Mark couldn't be as despicable as Zhao Ling and send people to follow Tian Ye all day long. Of course, it was impossible for him to know Tian Ye's movements from time to time.

Mark hadn't been able to control the fields this week.

It is not impossible that Zhao Ling showed up at Tian Ye's house with a shameless face.

Mark's deterrence to Zhao Ling cannot last too long.

The courage of a lustful person is beyond the imagination of normal people.

"That's not the case, but it's second only to discovering Zhao Ling directly."

"Driver Zhao Ling?"

Zhao Ling's secretaries are all pretty girls and it is impossible for them to appear in front of Tian Ye.

"Not really. I found that my mother prepared men's products at home, including slippers, toiletries, and everything else. Although these are still new and have not been used, the fact that my mother prepared these already explains the problem."

Mary didn't keep Mark in suspense.

"These things shouldn't prove anything, right?"

Mark replied with a guilty conscience.

These are the things that were missing in the field the last time Mark went there.

These things were most likely prepared by Tian Ye for Mark.

It's such a small apartment, there's no way another man could live there.

If Mark hadn't been there, the existence of Agate would have been a big problem.

"How can it not prove anything? This means that the man is about to enter the house."

Mary replied anxiously.

Mark understood that Mary was willing to find Tian Ye mainly to help the two of them get back together.

Ma Li persuaded herself to accept the fact that they were getting divorced, and her expectation might be that she could remarry after the divorce.

"Not really. You know, your mother works in a hotel. She is used to preparing these things."

Mark could only persuade Mary not to be angry.

I definitely can’t say that it was me who lived in Tianye Apartment.

Otherwise, I would know that two people can still sleep together.

No matter how you think about it, you know that no matter how open-minded Mary is, she cannot accept having a stepmother under such circumstances.

"Dad, you have to understand one thing. My mom is the hotel lobby manager, not the housekeeping manager."

Tian Ye is indeed not responsible for such matters. As a large-scale chain star-rated hotel, the management divisions are very clear.

"Then tell me, is it possible that your mother bought these things? She bought them out of habit, buying one set for everyone in the family, and she just couldn't get used to being single, so she bought an extra set?"

Mark will definitely continue to struggle.

"If you put it that way, it's possible. But what if it's not?"

Ma Li hesitated a little and was not so sure.

When it comes to answers, everyone hopes that the result is what they want.

"Didn't you ask clearly? How did your mother explain it to you?" (End of this chapter)
