Why were some women able to make their men listen to them properly such that their men would never disobey them? If they pointed to the east, their men would never go to the west and the men would do it willingly.
From this, you could tell that coaxing was a skill!
Ye Ying was extremely skilled at ‘coaxing’. Once she knew that Wang Dandan’s father raised a mistress outside and didn’t come home every few days, Ye Ying, whose EQ was not bad, immediately realized the situation at home and felt a sense of danger.
Thus, every time she saw Sun Dongqing giving a ‘he dares to divorce me’ expression, she felt anger rising in her heart. However, she was her mother so she had to suppress her anger no matter what and remind her.
“Mom, how many sentences have you spoken to dad this week? Dad was busy with work ever since the second day of Chinese New Year. He would come back at around 11 pm every night. As a wife, have you ever waited for Dad? Have you ever said any words of concern to him?”
“You said that Dad keeps shouting at you but please, Mom, have you ever thought that it was your problem? Don’t always emphasize me. I’m so old already. I know how to take care of myself.”
Ever since Ye Ying entered senior high, she was able to make decisions for Sun Dongqing for some matters in the family. Hence, Sun Dongqing gained the habit of not listening to her husband but she would listen to her daughter.
Seeing her daughter’s cold expression, Sun Dongqing quickly took out a hard-boiled egg and placed it in Ye Ying’s bowl to appease her. She replied indifferently, “I have been together with your father for many years. I know his personality. If you relent to him, he will take it for granted! Eat an egg. I heard other people saying that if you eat an egg every day before the university entrance examination, you won’t fall sick. Hurry up and eat it.”
Her nonchalant attitude caused Ye Ying to flare up. She slammed her chopsticks on the table and said furiously, “Mom, don’t feel afraid only when dad doesn’t want you anymore!”
“Who is he? Do you think that he’s still a small village official? Dad is a member of the provincial office now! Do you know how enticing the world outside is? Do you know how many young ladies dream of being the wife of a government official? How old is Dad now? He’s just past 40! He’s at his prime age!”
“He has power and he’s mature. Mom, do you know how many people wish that he will divorce you?”
Ye Ying never told Sun Dongqing any of these before. Now, she finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. Her emotions exploded all at once and the words she said shocked Sun Dongqing.
After feeling shocked, Sun Dongqing pulled a long face and shouted, “He dares? I’ve accompanied him since I was young and got harmed by the stupid old lady such that I can’t even give you a younger brother or sister! Your dad forced me to endure it for his sake. I suffered so much for him. How can he dare to divorce me?”
…
“Why not? If dad really dares to do it, what can you do? Throw a tantrum? Can you win him?” In her fit of anger, Ye Ying didn’t listen carefully to what Sun Dongqing said. She rushed back to her room without having her breakfast and grabbed her school bag. Then, she left the house with a loud ‘bang’.
Her scolding caused Sun Dongqing to be in a daze for some time. In her memory, her daughter had never been so angry.
Her words were extremely unpleasant too. Divorce, prime age. Were there people who cursed their parents like this?
That wasn’t right. Why would she talk about these things suddenly? Could it be that she saw something outside or she heard something so Yingying tried to remind her?
Divorce her? Ye Zhifan wouldn’t dare!
