Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2032: Chapter 2026: Maybe You Should Have Another Child

”Zhaozi, are you really leaving? Can you not go? The things Mom said just now were out of anger, she didn’t actually want you to leave.” Chen Lei didn’t expect her son to really pack up and leave. What she said earlier was not from her heart. Doesn’t her son know that?

”Mom, let’s both calm down. Jing Yi is still so young, and what we’re doing is very harmful to her growth. I hope you can understand.” Li Zhao didn’t want to do this either, but the situation now didn’t allow him to drag his feet any longer; otherwise, this family would really fall apart. It’s better to move out first, then both sides can think over whether this is really worth it.

”Li Zhao, Auntie was just too angry. Can’t you not leave? Doing this really breaks her heart.” Ou Keren looked at Li Zhao. If he left, what role would she have to play?

”Shut up. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You better put your thoughts away, or don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Li Zhao glared at this woman; if it weren’t for her, there wouldn’t have been such a big misunderstanding between him and An Hao. How dare she make a fuss here? Does she think he’s not angry and is a pushover?

”I...” Ou Keren wanted to say something, but the icy glare from Li Zhao stopped her. She was furious; she had almost succeeded, so why did it turn out like this? Where did she go wrong?

What Ou Keren didn’t know was that when Li Zhao went to see An Hao, he was awakened by her mention of divorce. Li Zhao never expected An Hao to speak so decisively about it, but after seeing her expression, he knew she wasn’t joking. Therefore, he knew that if he didn’t start dealing with things at home, he would lose An Hao and their daughter. This realization forced Li Zhao to rethink the situation, and there’s no way he would let Ou Keren succeed.

”Mom, I’m leaving now. If there’s nothing else, please send Ou Keren back. Having her hanging around our house like this will only cause gossip. I’ll say something outrageous: if you think the Lis have too few members and you can accept it, let Dad have another child with you as long as he’s still capable. Or he could find me a stepmom, since there’s already someone here. She could keep you company.” After saying this, Li Zhao left without caring about his mom’s face turning green with anger.

Li Zhao said this on purpose. As a woman herself, he didn’t believe his mother could tolerate her husband being with another woman. Though saying this was neither nice nor filial, he just wanted his mother to understand that if she herself couldn’t accept it, why should An Hao? She is a woman, and so is An Hao. Why should one woman make things difficult for another?

After days of contemplation, Li Zhao had come to terms with many things and understood a lot, which is why he dared to say such things. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to say them even if threatened with death.

”An’an.” Carrying his luggage, Li Zhao went straight to his wife’s shop. As soon as he entered, he saw his wife sitting there with their child in her arms, gazing out the window, lost in thought.

”What are you doing here? Have you decided to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and divorce me?” An Hao’s thoughts were interrupted, and she looked at the person calling her.

”No, I no longer have a home. I’m here to seek refuge with you. Jing Yi, do you miss Daddy?” Li Zhao looked at his wife and daughter, whom he hadn’t seen for a while. It felt like centuries had passed. Seeing them safe and sound now brought him a sense of peace. The recent times had been really trying.
