The stepmother control group counterattacked with cubs in the era

"Don't blame your mother, she divorced me."

Chen Xiaochao was stunned, and the fork in his hand clattered on the table.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Chen Yi and his son returned home together.

Looking at her son following Chen Yi, Pei Wenping was hesitating about how to ease the relationship with her son, but Chen Xiaochao took the initiative to walk up to her.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

Looking at her coquettish son, Pei Wenping was surprised and happy, and said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, let's eat first, I'll steam your favorite cured pork ribs."

"Ah."

One of the father and son went to the bathroom to wash their hands, and the other went to the kitchen to serve food. Pei Wenping happily turned around and knocked on the door of the second bedroom.

"Xiaolu, let's go out to eat."

After waiting for a while and receiving no response, Pei Wenping reached out and pushed the door open, only to find that the door was locked from the inside.

"what happened?"

Looking at Chen Yi who came behind him at some point, Pei Wenping said angrily: "Xiaolu knows about the divorce."

Chen Yi was silent for a while and said, "Let me talk to her. You go and set the dishes."

Pei Wenping didn't say much and turned to the kitchen.

I don’t know what method Chen Yi used to coax Chen Xiaolu out of the room.

"Here, eat the ribs. They taste best while they're hot."

Pei Wenping diligently put a piece into her son's bowl, and then put another piece into her daughter's bowl.

Chen Xiaolu unexpectedly moved her rice bowl to the side, and the red and shiny pork ribs fell on the dining table.

Chen Xiaochao stared at the ribs on the table with a puzzled look on his face, "What are you doing?"

Chen Yi followed up and said, "Xiaolu, pick up the ribs."

Chen Xiaolu was stifled. She picked up the ribs on the dinner table and threw them back to the plate. Then she slapped her chopsticks, said "I'm full" and got up and went back to the room.

There was silence at the dinner table.

Chen Xiaochao was confused, "What happened to her again?"

"Let's eat, the food will get cold after a while." Chen Yi said.

Chen Xiaochao looked at this and that, then munched on the bacon ribs in the bowl.

The meal ended in a dull atmosphere.

……

"Did mom scold you when we were not at home?"

In the second bedroom, Chen Xiaochao looked at the taciturn Chen Xiaolu and speculated: "If you are quarreling with mom because of me, then there is no need. Mom must have her reasons for not going to the Shanghai market..."

Chen Xiaolu raised her head and interrupted him, "You are right! She is just selfish and cares about herself!"

Chen Xiaochao was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Don't talk about mom like that."

"I have to say it! With a mouth on my face, I can say whatever I want. Do you care?"

Pei Wenping was led into the room by the quarrel between the two siblings, "Xiaolu, Xiaochao, what are you arguing about?"

Chen Xiaochao replied angrily, "It's not a big deal."

Chen Xiaolu turned her back and lay on the bed, covering her from head to toe with a quilt, obviously not wanting to pay attention to Pei Wenping.

"what happened?"

Chen Yi, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, heard the commotion and came into the room. He looked at the two children and then at Pei Wenping.

"I'm going out." Pei Wenping turned around tiredly and walked out of the room.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

Chen Yi followed her, his face full of concern, "I'll go with you."

"No, you watch them at home."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yi grabbed his arm.

Facing his stubborn look, Pei Wenping could only explain where she was going: "I'm going to talk to Mingzhu about something and I'll be back later."

Chen Yi then let go of his hand and said, "Be careful on the road."

After watching Pei Wenping go out, Chen Yi returned to the second bedroom. "What are you making a fuss about again?"

Chen Xiaochao pointed to Chen Xiaolu on the bed, "Ask her, who knows what's wrong with her."

Chen Yi walked to Chen Xiaolu's single bed and reached out to lift off the quilt. When he saw the other person's red eyes, he couldn't help but become speechless.

……

"Did i do something wrong?"

Seeing Pei Wenping's lost and confused look, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart.

She was also deeply affected by her parents' divorce, and even now, this influence has not disappeared.

But the twins were luckier than her. Even if Pei Wenping and Chen Yi were divorced, they still worked hard to shoulder their responsibilities as parents.

"Sister, many things cannot be summarized simply as right and wrong. Things in this world are inherently complicated. We are ordinary people and we cannot satisfy everyone."

"But I firmly believe that the prerequisite for loving others is to love yourself first. A good mental outlook, a healthy body, and sufficient finances are all indispensable foundations for survival."

"Blinally obeying children will only develop their selfish, conceited and arrogant character. I think you can have a serious talk with the children and teach them to distinguish between right and wrong, and to know respect, understanding and tolerance."

……

It was already half past ten when Pei Wenping got home.

Chen Yi was sitting on the sofa reading quietly, apparently waiting for her.

"Tell Xiaolu and Xiaochao to come out. I have something to say."

Hearing what she said, Chen Yi hesitated, "Does it have to be now? It's getting late, they are probably asleep..."

Under Pei Wenping's death gaze, Chen Yi closed his mouth, got up and knocked on the door of the second bedroom.

Normally, she would definitely consider the child's rest and not disturb him.

But a conversation with Shen Mingzhu gave her an enlightenment.

She didn't owe her children anything, and she even went to hell to give them life.

If her support and indulgence can only be exchanged for complaints and blame, then I'm sorry, she won't serve you anymore.

The two children were quickly called out.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Chen Xiaochao yawned, his tone revealing dissatisfaction.

In contrast, Chen Xiaolu was silent and quiet, but deliberately did not make eye contact with Pei Wenping, and was obviously still angry.

Pei Wenping looked at the two children, took a sip of honey to moisten her throat, and then spoke——

"I divorced your dad because he cheated on me."

Chen Xiaolu suddenly raised her head, looking at Chen Yi with eyes full of shock and disbelief.

In contrast, Chen Xiaochao seemed much calmer.

In the afternoon at the coffee shop, Chen Yi told him the truth.

Moreover, he had made a private agreement with Chen Yi not to tell Chen Xiaolu about this matter, and that he would help Chen Yi save the marriage.

But I didn't expect that Pei Wenping would take the initiative to reveal this secret, and I was a little at a loss for a while.

"Dad, is what mom said true?"

Chen Xiaolu was shocked and hurt.

She only knew that her parents were divorced, but she didn't expect that the reason was Chen Yi's cheating.

"I am sorry for your mother, and the responsibility for the divorce lies with me."

Chen Yi's frankness undoubtedly hit Chen Xiaolu hard, and also made her feel ashamed for being angry with Pei Wenping.

Pei Wenping continued: "I chose to conceal it because I didn't want you to be affected, but I found that I was wrong. You are not young anymore. You should know the truth and learn to distinguish right from wrong."

Chen Xiaochao couldn't help but plead for Chen Yi: "Mom, please forgive Dad for once. He knows he was wrong."

Chen Xiaolu also quickly raised her head and begged, "Mom, can you give Dad another chance? Although Dad did something wrong, we are a family. Shouldn't we give him more tolerance and opportunities to change his ways?" ?”

Pei Wenping looked at the two children calmly.

"You can't force me to forgive your dad, just like I won't force you to forgive your friends who have hurt you. But as a mother, I will try my best to give you the care and love you deserve. I can only promise you that every time in the future I will go to Shanghai to visit you every month." (End of chapter)
