Chapter 7: Telling Her Mother the Truth

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After some thought, Wei Yan decided to tell her mother.

She looked at Li Hai solemnly and said, “Mom, there’s something I think you should know.”

Seeing Wei Yan’s expression, Li Hai realized that this matter was probably serious. “Yanyan, tell me.”

Li Hai guessed, could it be that Yanyan lied just now? Yanyan didn’t do well on the middle school examination?

If that was the case, it wasn’t a big deal. If she didn’t do well, so be it. Anyway, Yanyan had tried her best.

“Mom, my father seems to be very intimate with Auntie Lin. I heard from others that my father often appears in Auntie Lin’s neighborhood. Some even saw the two of them together in the hotel.”

Wei Yan pretended to be conflicted, like she didn’t know if she should say it or not.

Li Hai’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“How could that be? Did your father cheat? Or is he with my cousin?” Li Hai confirmed.

Wei Yan nodded. “Mom, think about Auntie Lin’s son. His surname is also Wei. He looks quite similar to Dad when he was young. Could it be that Wei Mu is actually Dad and Auntie Lin’s son?”

Li Hai’s body trembled and she could barely stand steadily.

Wei Yan hurriedly supported her and looked at Li Hai worriedly. “Mom, are you alright?”

She knew that this might be a blow to her mother, but it was better to prepare early on.

After all, Wei Gang kept abusing her mother. Moreover, judging from Li Lin’s personality, she seemed like a real piece of work. Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before she started instigating Wei Gang. Their situation would only worsen.

Li Hai had also recovered at this moment. His eyes were slightly red, and they were filled with sadness.

“I was wondering why he seemed to have become a different person not long after I gave birth to you. He became more and more irritable and drank too much. He was also very mean to me. No matter how good your grades were, he still didn’t care about us.”

“So it’s because he has a better choice.”

“Fair enough. He has always wanted a son. Li Lin is also prettier than me. The clothes she wears are very fashionable. I’m sure she spent your father’s money, but what about me? I’ve accompanied him for so many years. I’ve washed his clothes and cooked for him. At the same time, I have to work and take care of the family. That day, I saw a shirt I liked and it only cost 30 yuan, but he felt that it was too expensive and scolded me.”

“All these years, my sincerity to him has been all for nothing.” Li Hai smiled bitterly.

Wei Yan held her hand and comforted her. “Mom, don’t be afraid. You still have me. I’ll always be by your side. I’ll study hard and let you live a good life in the future. But Mom, I hope you can divorce him as soon as possible. Now that he dares to buy a house for Li Lin, it’s only a matter of time before he chases us away. Instead of being in a passive situation, why don’t we take action early on?”

Li Hai was a little hesitant. Clearly, she still needed a lot of courage to get a divorce.

Wei Yan wasn’t in a hurry. She just waited silently.

In this era, there were very few people who got divorced. Even if there was no longer any love between husband and wife, for the sake of their children and their parents, they would choose to make do with it for the rest of their lives.

“Yanyan, how are we going to live after the divorce? It’s fine for me to suffer, but you’re going to high school. What about tuition and living expenses? Even if we get a divorce, Wei Gang might not let us off. If he stops me from running the shop, how am I going to take care of you and support us?”

Li Hai said worriedly.

Wei Yan wanted to say that she had a way to make more money for her mother’s shop, but her mother’s worries were not unreasonable. It seemed that the divorce had to be discussed over time. If she rashly asked her mother to get a divorce now, her mother would definitely be worried. She might as well improve the shop’s business first and let her mother earn more money. Only then would she have the courage to get a divorce.

After making up her mind, Wei Yan began to study the shop carefully. After she took out paper and a pen, she drew a simple design. Li Hai watched from the side, her eyes slowly widening.

“My precious daughter, if the clothes are arranged like you drew, our shop will look very big!” Li Hai exclaimed while feeling that her daughter’s idea was very clever.

Wei Yan smiled. “Mom, just wait and see. Your shop can make a lot of money.”
