Chapter 17 Mom and Dad, Chen Le and I are divorced!
Su Xi smiled, calmed herself down, and then opened the door.
"Dad, Mom, what brings you here?"
"You didn't even tell me, so I could have picked you up at the station."
Su Xi quickly reached out and took the things from her parents-in-law's hands, and greeted the two elders with great enthusiasm.
Chen Le's parents are both genuine rural people.
My father, Chen Bolin, and my mother, Li Xiuying, are honest, hardworking, and simple old women.
The elderly couple adored Su Xi, their daughter-in-law, and loved her dearly, even more than their own daughter.
No matter how much trouble Chen Le caused, Su Xi always kept things in mind and was always very respectful and filial to her parents.
"Girl, you're so busy, how can we let you pick us up!"
Chen's mother held Su Xi's hand, her eyes crinkling with joy.
It's a genuine, heartfelt liking.
“I went to your house, but Chen Le wasn’t there.”
"We called him, but he wouldn't answer."
"I knew you two must have had a fight, so I came straight here to find you!"
Mr. Chen sighed, sat down on the sofa, and said with a sullen face, "Xiaoxi, don't lower yourself to that beast's level!"
"Your parents acknowledge you as their daughter-in-law, but they don't acknowledge that son!"
"If all else fails, take the child back to Dawang Village, and your parents will take care of you!"
Thinking of all the things Chen Le had done, Chen's father was so angry he wanted to break his legs!
He married such a wonderful girl and has such a good daughter, yet he still does such heartless things every day!
Having such a spendthrift son, what kind of bad karma did I suffer in my past life?
Mr. Chen's wrinkles deepened considerably, reflecting nothing but helplessness.
Chen's mother looked at Su Xi with heartache and said earnestly, "Good girl, your father and I came here this time to see Xin Xin."
"While you're at it, go teach that brat Chen Le a lesson and make sure he lives a proper life with you."
"Don't worry about his debts. They're owed by our Chen family. Even if it costs us our lives, we'll pay them off for you two!"
"You just focus on taking care of Xin Xin, don't worry about anything else!"
Li Xiuying felt bitter inside, but still wore a smile.
"Correct!"
Mr. Chen lowered his eyes, but his tone was firm: “Don’t worry about the debt. I’m not dead yet. I can handle anything. I can’t be a burden to you.”
Looking at the hardworking elderly couple in front of her, Su Xi felt a pang of heartache.
"Xin Xin, let Grandpa give you a hug!"
"My lovely granddaughter, have you missed your grandpa?!"
Mr. Chen picked up Xin Xin, grinning with his yellow teeth, which made his granddaughter giggle.
His wrinkles trembled, and his eyes were full of kindness and doting affection.
"Of course I miss Grandpa."
Xin Xin is especially lovable; she has a sweet tongue and gave her grandfather a big kiss on his travel-worn face.
The old man was overjoyed; he held his granddaughter and spun her around, having a wonderful time.
The grandmother and grandson were overjoyed, their smiles radiant.
"Dad, Mom, you must not have rested well after sitting on the train all night. Come inside and get some sleep!"
Su Xi bit her lip, her tone somewhat embarrassed.
Noticing his daughter-in-law's unease, Mr. Chen tentatively suggested, "Xiaoxi, why don't you come with us to find Chen Le?"
"Don't worry, if he dares to act recklessly, I'll break his legs in front of you."
Su Xi's eyes reddened, she covered her face, and her shoulders trembled.
She started crying.
She had endured so much injustice from Chen Le before.
Only when she was in front of this kind and considerate elderly couple did all the resentment and sadness she had accumulated suddenly break down her defenses.
She had so much to say.
But... it seems inappropriate to say anything more.
Because they're already divorced.
"Girl, what's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"
"Is it because of that little bastard Chen Le... that Mom insists on getting him..."
Chen's mother frowned deeply, looking very anxious.
"Dad, Mom, I won't hide it from you anymore!"
"Chen Le and I...are divorced!"
After saying that, Su Xi turned around and went into the restroom.
She closed the door, as if shutting herself off from everything.
But he had no strength left in his body, and leaned against the wall, he slowly slid down...
My in-laws are such good people.
Great.
So good...
She simply couldn't bear to tell them the news.
but……
I have no choice but to say it now.
She had already decided in her heart that she had driven Chen Le out of the house.
……
In the living room, Mr. and Mrs. Chen exchanged a glance, both stunned, their feelings indescribable.
Is it anger, pain, regret, or...?
It's possible that it has all of them.
Mr. Chen was even paler, breathing heavily, his body leaning against the wall, swaying precariously.
"Old man, what's wrong with you...?"
"Don't scare me!"
Chen's mother was so frightened that she started to cry. She quickly went to help him up and shouted loudly.
Su Xi was also terrified and rushed out to carefully support Chen's father.
"Dad, please don't be angry..."
"You have high blood pressure, you can't get overheated..."
"Don't worry, even if our daughter divorces Chen Le, you two will still be my parents, and still Xin Xin's grandparents..."
Su Xi, supporting her father-in-law's arm, cried uncontrollably.
This is also what she really felt.
It took a long time for Mr. Chen to recover.
Looking at his daughter-in-law with red eyes, he felt truly ashamed for his son!
He was a simple and kind man who didn't know how to ease his daughter-in-law's disappointment and sadness.
So he bent down.
"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry."
"It's all Dad's fault for not disciplining his children properly. How could he have raised such a beast!"
"We, the Chen family, are so sorry!"
"Dad apologizes to you, and also to your parents!"
At this point, Chen Bolin's back seemed to bend even more.
"Dad...Dad, what are you doing?!"
"Waaah... Dad, please don't do this."
Su Xi hurriedly helped Chen's father up, crying out in heart-wrenching sobs.
"Alright, old woman, let's not trouble you any further, let's go home!"
"Girl, you're a good girl."
"We're at ease leaving Xin Xin in your care. We'll come to see you again when we have time."
After saying this, Mr. Chen turned and walked outside.
Hearing that her son and daughter-in-law were getting a divorce felt like the sky had fallen.
It's one thing that the elderly couple couldn't handle the blow.
But continuing to bother Su Xi here is another matter!
He could imagine how heartbroken his daughter-in-law was during the time she completely left him.
How could those two old folks continue to rub salt into her wounds here!
They lived a simple and honest life.
I couldn't do something so cruel.
"grandparents……"
"Xin Xin will miss you all."
Xin Xin cried too, her little nose turned bright red.
"Xin Xin, be a good girl, when the holidays come, come visit Grandpa and Grandma!"
"Grandma hatched lots of little yellow chicks for you... You can do it next time..."
Chen's mother covered her mouth, her voice choked with sobs, unable to speak coherently.
Su Xi stood at the door, holding her daughter.
Watching my in-laws help each other downstairs, I felt an indescribable sadness.
The elderly couple arrived beaming with joy, but left utterly dejected.
It felt like carrying a huge mountain; every step felt incredibly heavy.
They were so pitiful that it made her feel genuinely sorry for them.
