"Granny Wang, do you have time right now?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked. 0
"Yes, what's up?" Granny Wang replied. 0
"I have something I want to ask you," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
"Alright, let's talk in the yard," Granny Wang suggested. 0
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. 0
The four of them went to the yard and sat down separately. 0
"What is it?" Granny Wang asked. 0
"Are Xiao Liang's parents really getting a divorce?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked directly. 0
"Ah? Who said that?" Granny Wang was surprised. 0
"Xiao Liang saw a letter his dad wrote," Zhang Xiaoxiao explained. 0
"This..." Granny Wang hesitated a bit. 0
"Is it true?" Zhang Xiaoxiao pressed on. 0
"It can't be, Changgui and Xiao Ying have a good relationship; how could they get divorced?" Granny Wang denied. 0
Although Granny Wang denied it, her expression and tone seemed somewhat stiff. 0
Zhang Xiaoxiao knew that Granny Wang wasn't completely truthful, but she didn't press further since this wasn't exactly a pleasant topic. 0
"When will they be back?" Zhang Xiaoxiao changed the subject. 0
"They should be back soon," Granny Wang replied. 0
"Oh," Zhang Xiaoxiao responded. 0
"Grandma, do you know why Dad wants to divorce Mom?" Xiao Liang asked. 0
"This..." Granny Wang hesitated again. 0
"Is it because Dad has another lady outside?" Xiao Liang speculated. 0
 
 
"Stop talking nonsense and don't make wild guesses," Granny Wang said. 0
"Oh," Xiao Liang replied. 0
"Do you know the specific reason?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked. 0
"Well, I'm not very clear either. I just occasionally hear them arguing, saying that Changgui's temper is getting worse and Xiao Ying is becoming fiercer," Granny Wang said. 0
"I see," Zhang Xiaoxiao responded. 0
"But it doesn't necessarily mean they are getting a divorce; it could be for other reasons," Granny Wang added. 0
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. 0
The four of them chatted for a while longer, and then Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai went home. 0
After walking for a bit, the light rain finally stopped. 0
"Finally stopped," Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed. 0
"Mm," Zhao Guangcai replied. 0
"Let's go back," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
"Okay," Zhao Guangcai nodded. 0
The two held hands as they walked home, encountering several villagers along the way, all smiling and greeting each other. 0
A few days later at noon, Granny Wang's son and daughter-in-law returned, who are Xiao Liang's parents. 0
Rumors began to spread in the village about their family. 0
On the day Uncle Changgui returned, villagers gathered at Granny Wang's doorstep, eager to gossip. 0
Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai also arrived at Granny Wang's house and, as they got closer, they heard intense arguing coming from inside. 0
"Chen Shuying, do you agree to the divorce or not?" Uncle Changgui shouted. 0
"I do not agree; you can't get a divorce!" Chen Shuying retorted angrily. 0
"Why?" Uncle Changgui asked. 0
"Why? How can you even ask me why? You would abandon our son for that vixen!" Chen Shuying exclaimed furiously. 0
"Watch your mouth; what vixen? She's my colleague," Uncle Changgui countered. 0
 
 
"Colleague? Are you going to divorce me for her?" Chen Shuying questioned. 0
 
"I said, I'm not doing it for her; it's because your temper has gotten worse. I can't tolerate it anymore," Uncle Changgui replied. 0
 
"My temper is bad? Who do you think caused that? You left for a whole year, leaving Xiao Liang with me. I have to work and take care of him every day, and sometimes deal with all the gossip. How can I not be frustrated?" Chen Shuying shouted. 0
 
"Your frustration is your problem. What good does it do to take it out on me?" Uncle Changgui said impatiently. 0
 
"You..." Chen Shuying was extremely angry. 0
 
"Xiao Liang, are you with me or with her? You choose," Uncle Changgui stated. 0
 
"I'm with Mom," Xiao Liang said without hesitation. 0
 
"Fine, then stay with her," Uncle Changgui said coldly. 0
