A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 450 The second cousin wants a divorce
Ever since Li Xiang got married and moved here, Uncle Li's family rarely came here.

As before, they would always go to the Siheyuan when visiting during the New Year or if they had something to do.

This resulted in Li Xiang not having many opportunities to meet Uncle Li's family in the past few years.

Although they didn't meet much, Li Xiang wouldn't be alienated from his uncle's family, but it was inevitable that he didn't know much about his family's recent situation.

Our limited understanding comes from Mother Li’s occasional sharing.

Mother Li wouldn't gossip about anything, especially if it was a woman's family matter.

On this day off, Qiu Fanghua had discussed with Li Xiang last week that the couple would take their children to the zoo.

I originally planned to set off after breakfast, but my plan was disrupted when Mother Li brought Uncle Li and his entire family.

Seeing Mother Li and the others coming, Qiu Fanghua immediately put down her chopsticks and welcomed them in.

At the same time, she was mentally prepared. The trip to the zoo that her son had been dreaming about would probably have to be postponed again.

Little Li Rui didn't know that he couldn't get out at this time, so he followed his mother's instructions obediently and called people one by one.

The cousin's little baby is now fourteen years old and a junior high school student.

This child was well brought up, although the uncle's family was a bit spoiled because he was the only grandchild.

But when you make a mistake, you will be merciless when it comes to teaching you a lesson.

Uncle Li's family came here today, and they must have something to talk about. Xiaobao's place has been informed by the adults a long time ago.

After the adults finished greetings, he took his little cousin out to play.

As soon as the two children left, the kindness on Uncle Li's face immediately disappeared. He pointed at his second cousin and asked him to kneel down.

"What's going on? If you have something to say, you can't stand up and have to kneel down." Li Xiang hurriedly stopped him.

When Uncle Li and his family entered the house, he noticed that the atmosphere was not harmonious and knew that something must be going on.

We are all a family, it doesn't matter if something happens, as long as it can be solved, just sit down and discuss a solution.

But when it comes to drinking, it makes people kneel down, and it doesn't feel like it can be solved simply.

The second cousin didn't defend himself, and his knees hit the ground with a bang. That crisp movement was faster than what Li wanted to say.

Li Xiang and Qiu Fanghua looked at it with doubtful eyes, and for a moment they didn't know what the fuss was about.

"I won't pass the message for you, lest you say what I passed on is wrong. In front of your cousin and his wife, you can tell the truth yourself and let them judge whether what you, Li Erhai, did is human affairs." Uncle Li slapped the table and asked the second cousin to explain himself.

Although the second cousin knelt down, his back was straight.

Uncle Li asked him to tell the truth, and he told the truth. In just a few words, he told him that he and his second cousin-in-law were divorcing.

Li Xiang listened to him and looked at the second cousin's sister-in-law who was sitting silently, trying to observe her attitude.

During the process of the second cousin's narration, the expression on the second cousin's face was always calm, without even a single fluctuation.

This made Li Xiang unable to observe anything even if he wanted to observe.

From the perspective of outsiders, the main conflict between the two is over their children.

I have been married for more than ten years and have tried every method. I went to the hospital to check and they didn't say anything was wrong, but I just couldn't give birth to a child. In the early years, I could comfort myself with the thought that fate had not come yet, but if I say this now, I would be deceiving myself.

It is not uncommon for people to divorce because of their children.

Li Xiang encountered an example recently, that Liu Panlan was divorced because of her children.

There are still not many people who have guarded things like the first uncle and the first aunt.

Li Xiang had previously thought that the relationship between his second cousin and his second cousin-in-law was enough to sustain them. After all, they were childhood sweethearts.

Unexpectedly, the two of them would reach this point.

"Uncle, aunt, what do you two mean?" Li Xiang frowned and took the lead in asking the two elders for their opinions.

Even though Li Xiang is in a high position now, it's going to rain and his mother is getting married. How can he have the final say in household matters?

From a family standpoint, he naturally doesn't want the two of them to divorce.

But if there is no love between a husband and wife and they cannot live together, and it is not for him to say that they are not allowed to divorce, the two of them can restore their relationship and continue to live as normal people.

Uncle Li wanted to speak, but his aunt held him back from behind, and she finally answered.

"We both want to stay together as long as we can. I don't know how you two were so blinded by lard. As elders, we don't even urge you to have grandchildren, but you two are in a hurry. If you don't, there won't be any. Well, at worst, I can just hug him outside. I don’t mind if he’s not my biological child. Dad and I keep our words here, and I’ll treat him just like Xiaobao.”

As an elder, this attitude of the eldest aunt is nothing to say, and it is considered to be in place.

But the second cousin and the second cousin-in-law, one kneeling and the other sitting, looked indifferent on their faces.

The first cousin was watching from the side. Seeing that his father was going to explode because of their attitude, he kicked the second cousin anxiously and urged: "Mom has already talked about this, so you should show your attitude. ”

He was kicking his second cousin, but with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, he glanced at his sister-in-law who was sitting there motionless, blaming her for being ignorant.

Whose elders are as sensible as his parents? He said that they are too sensible, so he is used to this younger brother and sister being careless and acting all day and night as if the family feels sorry for her.

"If she wants to leave, then leave. Don't try to persuade her. Just leave her." The second cousin didn't know whether it was out of anger or something, but what he said didn't seem like what he should say as a person.

"What do you mean I want to divorce? Li Erhai, please stop pushing the blame on me. You are the conscience of heaven and earth. Didn't you mention the divorce first?" The second cousin-in-law seemed to be stimulated by his words, and finally spoke for the first time since entering the house. One sentence.

Perhaps because she has never given birth to a child, her second cousin-in-law looks much younger than her peers.

The way she spoke to her second cousin was as if she was acting arrogantly.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving. It's all my fault. Are you satisfied?" the second cousin replied impatiently.

"It's a curse, I want you to see if it's a curse. If you just live a good life, it will disturb the peace of the family." Uncle Li pointed at his second cousin and complained to Li Xiang.

The expression on Li Xiang's face at this time had some unclear meaning.

He looked at what the couple said, and it didn't sound like they were determined to divorce, and it didn't seem like they wanted to divorce all because of their children.

So what is the reason for these two couples to let off steam and make such a fuss, and what are their intentions?

He couldn't help but turn to his mother for help.

Li Xiang had a vague feeling that his mother must know more than him.
