The heavens set sail from the courtyard

He Wenhui and Gao Junling went to wait for He Wentao outside his school in the afternoon, and waited until he came out after school.

When He Wentao saw his older sister come to pick him up from school, he was initially quite happy. However, when he heard that she was going to take him to the Liu family to apologize to Liu Hongchang, he immediately refused.

"I'm not going to apologize to Lao Liu." He Wentao immediately tried to slip away, but luckily Gao Junling was quick and grabbed his collar.

"He Wentao, you're the one who caused this mess, are you trying to shirk responsibility?" Gao Junling said angrily.

“I did nothing wrong, Lao Liu deserved it.” He Wentao struggled to get up.

"Wentao, stop making a scene. Do you really want to see your older sister get divorced before you're satisfied?" Gao Junling said angrily.

"It would be better if my eldest sister divorced Lao Liu. I don't want a cook as my brother-in-law," He Wentao shouted.

"Wentao!" He Wenhui grabbed her younger brother and said in a coaxing tone, "Be a good boy and come with me to the Liu family to apologize to your brother-in-law. I'll buy you candy later!"

"I don't want to, I don't want to eat candy." He Wentao struggled to get up, then stuck his head out and took a bite of Gao Junling.

"Ouch! You naughty child!" Gao Junling pulled her hand back in pain, and He Wentao took the opportunity to run away.

"I will not submit to Old Liu!" He Wentao shouted, then took off running and quickly disappeared from sight.

"Sister Junling, is your hand alright?" He Wenhui asked with concern.

Gao Junling rubbed her hands and sighed, "We can't keep this up with Wentao. He's too immature."

He Wenhui bowed her head and apologized, "Sister Junling, I'm sorry. I will talk to Wentao later. I apologize to you on his behalf."

Gao Junling shook her head and said, "Wenhui, you sometimes spoil your younger siblings too much. If Wentao continues to act so recklessly, he'll get into trouble sooner or later!"

He Wenhui asked in surprise, "Sister Junling, why would even you say that?"

Gao Junling asked curiously, "Who else has said the same thing?"

He Wenhui whispered, "Liu Hongchang also said that."

Gao Junling sighed and said, "Do you not take anything Liu Hongchang says seriously?"

He Wenhui said, "Wentao is still young, he will change when he grows up."

Gao Junling looked at the stubborn He Wenhui and felt utterly exhausted! She now understood why Liu Hongchang was so determined to get a divorce!
"Now that Wentao has run away, what should we do?" He Wenhui changed the subject.

"What else can I do? I'll go with you to the Liu family! I hope Liu Hongchang will give me some face."

Helpless, Gao Junling could only take He Wenhui to buy some fruit and then run to the Liu family's house.

Wang Cuilan gave He Wenhui a cold look as soon as she saw her, and naturally stopped He Wenhui and Gao Junling.

"Get out of here! The Liu family doesn't welcome you!" Wang Cuilan said, grabbing a broom to chase them away.

"Mom, we just wanted to bring some fruit to Hongchang," He Wenhui pleaded, carrying a bag of fruit.

"Stop! I'm not your mother, and don't call me 'Mom'!" Wang Cuilan said, raising her hand.

Gao Junling said with a smile, "Aunt Wang, I know you're angry with Wenhui. We've come here to apologize."

Wang Cuilan sneered, "Why isn't the culprit who hurt my son here? Their apology wasn't even sincere. The He family really has no manners."

He Wenhui blushed and was speechless for a long time.

Gao Junling knew He Wenhui was shy, so she had to do it herself. "Aunt Wang, please let us see Liu Hongchang just once, apologize, and then we'll leave."

As she spoke, Gao Junling led He Wenhui directly into the Liu family's courtyard.

"Hey, why are you barging in? Get out, get out of here!"

Wang Cuilan, an old woman, was no match for two grown men.

The commotion in the yard finally reached Wang Gang, who came out and saw the situation. His mood immediately soured.

"He Wenhui, what are you doing here again?!"

"Hongchang, I've come to apologize." He Wenhui said happily when she saw Wang Gang.

"Hmph!" Wang Gang limped out, angrily saying, "Get out of here, you're not welcome in my house."

Gao Junling said, "Hongchang, I asked Wenhui to come with me. I know you've been wronged, but couples often quarrel and then make up. You and Wenhui were husband and wife after all, and as the saying goes, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness!"

Wang Cuilan sneered, "My son is not married to her. She is still a virgin. What affection could there be between us?"

Gao Junling's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said, "Aunt Wang, you can't say that. Hongchang and Wenhui are a married couple after all. What couple doesn't quarrel? Couples don't hold grudges overnight."

"Alright!" Wang Gang said impatiently, "Sister Junling, I know what you mean. There's no need to persuade me anymore. I've already decided to divorce He Wenhui, and no one can change my mind."

Seeing her son's firm resolve to divorce, Wang Cuilan was greatly relieved and said to He Wenhui, "Did you hear that? If you don't want the scandal of the He family to be all over the place, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and divorce my son."

He Wenhui looked at Wang Gang with a pitiful expression and said, "Hongchang, do you still remember our vows? You promised to take care of me for the rest of your life, do you want to break your promise?!"

Wang Gang said coldly, "He Wenhui, don't try that. You agreed to marry me, and that's why I promised to take care of you for life. But you married me, and your heart isn't with me. What's the point of being a couple like that?"

He Wenhui gritted her teeth and said, "Hongchang, I know I've wronged you during this time. I've thought it through now and I'm willing to consummate our marriage!"

Wang Gang was taken aback and couldn't help but look at He Wenhui. He found that there was no shyness on her face, only determination, as if she had made up her mind to dedicate herself to him!
When Wang Cuilan saw that her son was not speaking, she became anxious, wondering if her son had fallen for He Wenhui's honey trap.
"It's too late for you to regret it now. My son has already decided to get a divorce. Please leave!" Wang Cuilan said to He Wenhui, blocking Wang Gang's way.

Wang Gang's hesitation wasn't due to being captivated by beauty or having a soft heart; he was simply pondering the reasons for He Wenhui's change in attitude.

Seeing Gao Junling beside him, Wang Gang immediately understood, guessing that Gao Junling must have discussed the pros and cons of divorce with He Wenhui.

He Wenhui wasn't willing to consummate the marriage; she knew that without Wang Gang's financial support, her family would be left with nothing but hardship, so she had no choice but to make this "sacrifice."

"You're willing to sacrifice yourself for your family's future!" Wang Gang exclaimed, looking at He Wenhui.

Upon hearing Wang Gang's words, Gao Junling immediately understood that he had figured everything out and was no longer "foolish" as before.

“Hongchang, Wenhui has feelings for you, otherwise she wouldn’t have married you in the first place.” Gao Junling still wanted to try her best.

"Stop talking. I know exactly what He Wenhui is thinking," Wang Gang said coldly. "No matter who comes today, I'm getting a divorce!"

He Wenhui couldn't believe Wang Gang was so heartless. She had already agreed to consummate the marriage, yet he still wanted a divorce. She was immediately a little angry.

"Hongchang, Hongchang!"

The sudden sound startled He Wenhui.

"Mom?" He Wenhui turned her head and saw Yu Qiuhua walking towards the yard with He Wenyuan's help.

When Wang Gang saw Yu Qiuhua, the blind old woman, he immediately realized that the main event of the day was about to begin!
Whether this divorce goes through or not doesn't depend on He Wenhui, but rather on Yu Qiuhua! (End of Chapter)
