Chapter 1400 Couldn’t Help but Start Crying

Never at any time had Lin Mei been as grateful as she was now for the care she and her daughter had once given Mengyu.

Starting from the second year of middle school, Mengyu skipped a grade into junior high. Her daughter brought food from home every day to eat at school and always asked her to pack more. Back then she couldn’t figure it out—was her daughter really eating that much at school? And at night when she came home, she could still eat so much.

Only after someone told her, "Most of the food your daughter brings is given to someone else," did she understand that the lunch her daughter brought at noon was shared with Mengyu. One meal split between two people, of course they wouldn’t be full, so naturally she’d eat more at night when she got home.

If it had been some other parent, they definitely wouldn’t be happy about their girl giving her food away. They’d have to order her not to give food to anyone. After all, at that time, nobody had much to spare.

But she had seriously asked her daughter about it. After hearing her daughter talk about what Mengyu had gone through, she sympathized deeply with this girl, and from then on she had her bring two lunches to school every day at noon.

She never imagined that the lunches her daughter had brought Mengyu every day in junior high would end up becoming such a powerful help to her daughter.

Twice now—twice her daughter had been sold off by her father, and both times it was this Mengyu who rescued her back.

She had never before felt so thankful that her daughter had such a friend!

"Shuiyu—" She reached out her hand toward her daughter.

Shuiyu threw herself into her mother’s arms. She had been calm just a moment ago, but now she couldn’t help bursting into tears. "Mom—"

She felt so wronged. She clearly hadn’t done anything wrong. She’d always been a good girl. Her grades weren’t the best, but she still got into the Military Medical University and had brought honor to the family.

But whenever something happened, her father would just sell her off. She’d already been sold twice. How could she not feel wronged?

Lin Mei held her daughter, gently stroking her back. "Yuyu, don’t be afraid, Mom is here."

Everyone looked at one another in confusion: what was going on with Shuiyu?

Could it be that Fast-Talking Third Sister-in-law was right, and she had actually been sold by Zhang Laojiu to a nightclub?

Mengyu saw that if Shuiyu kept crying, the public opinion that had just shifted would go right back to where it started. She hurriedly said, "Yeah, Shuiyu, don’t cry. Even if your father and mother are going to get divorced, you don’t need to cry. You’re already grown up—you can choose for yourself whether to live with your father or your mother. No one else has the right to interfere."

When Lin Mei heard what Mengyu said, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and then she calmed down.

She had just gotten flustered in the heat of the moment. After hearing Mengyu’s words, she remembered that she had specifically gone to her eldest uncle to study the Marriage Law. Having once attended night school, she could recognize most of the characters.

She knew that in her situation, if they divorced, generally speaking each person would get one child, but it would be different if one side had committed a major fault. Zhang Laojiu had even fathered a child with another woman; that counted as a major fault in the marriage. As long as she kept her composure, she could get both son and daughter.

Besides, once the children were over a certain age, they could choose for themselves!

This divorce—she was definitely going through with it!

After hearing what Mengyu said, everyone suddenly understood: so Shuiyu was crying because her father and mother were going to get divorced.

Right away, people started trying to persuade her:

"Shuiyu, if you can’t bear for your father and mother to split up, then talk them out of divorcing."

"That’s right, that’s right. Your mom wants a divorce—talk to your mom, tell her not to make a fuss about divorce."

"Husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot. How can you talk about divorce at the drop of a hat?"

"Exactly, exactly. For the sake of these two children, you both should stop making trouble about divorce."

"..."

Shuiyu lifted her head and asked her mother, "Mom, are you divorcing Dad because he sold me?"
