Chapter 30 Divorce or separation, it’s your choice!
After entering the house, Li Changhe glanced at the environment and sighed.

It was an old rural side room with poor lighting. Apart from a large earthen kang, there was a wooden table with a thermos and a few white bowls on it.

There is a wooden shelf on the right hand side of the door, on which are placed a red and white enamel washbasin and several dirty towels.

I remember that my sister was also a delicate and clean girl.

"Changhe, come and sit down. Are our parents okay?"

After Li Xiaojun entered the room, he immediately brought a wooden stool to Li Changhe and asked anxiously.

She also corresponded with her parents, but the information they conveyed was too little.

Moreover, letters always report good news but not bad news, making it difficult to find out the real situation.

"They are all doing well. My dad has resumed work and earns more than 200 yuan a month. My mom also earns 100 yuan. The two of them are now considered high-income earners!"

Li Changhe said seriously.

"Well, I heard how they are doing."

Li Xiaojun is more concerned about her parents' health. During the years she was an educated youth, she also met some old cadres who had come down from the countryside. Many situations could only be ignored because they were too hard.

Li Xiaojun was afraid that his parents’ health had been broken down during those years, and even if they resumed work, it would still be painful to take medicine every day.

Li Changhe said gently: "It's okay. You know, apart from our parents' generation, our family was also poor peasants. Besides, our parents just worked diligently and didn't have so many complicated relationships, so they are actually fine!"

Li Changhe's family was actually relatively okay. His parents were simple intellectuals, and there were no major problems in other aspects. This was also the reason why Li Lishan and his wife ended their relationship so quickly and returned to Beijing.

"That's good, that's good!"

Li Xiaojun kept muttering to himself at this time, as if he had let go of a worry.

But then she fell silent.

In fact, she and Li Changhe had not seen each other for almost ten years. In her memory before she left, her brother was still a little kid wandering around the streets.

"Sister, do you want to go back?"

Seeing that Li Xiaojun had fallen into silence, Li Changhe took the initiative to speak.

"Can I go back?"

When Li Xiaojun heard Li Changhe's words, a light suddenly appeared in her originally dim eyes, and she looked at Li Changhe with some surprise.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
Li Xiaojun had a very good life in Beijing, but after coming here, one can imagine what life in the countryside is like.

To put it bluntly, getting married means you can't bear the hardship and have no one to rely on.

"It's very difficult for you to go back by ordinary means. After all, you are married here, and you don't meet many conditions!"

There are only a few ways to return to the city these days: retiring due to illness, being recruited, replacing someone else, and being an only child.

Li Changhe either retired due to illness, or was recruited by a factory or government agency, or took over one of his parents' positions.

Finally, those who are the only child in the family, or whose parents are seriously ill and need someone to take care of them, can also go back.

Previously, the options that best suited Li Xiaojun were recruitment or replacement, but now because she got married in the countryside, both of these are difficult.

After hearing this, the light in Li Xiaojun's eyes gradually dimmed. Yes, it was because she was married and had a child.

But there is no way, life here is too hard, and as a girl, she really can't bear it.

Li Changhe saw the change in Li Xiaojun's expression, and said seriously, "Sister, I haven't finished yet."

"I came here this time to bring you good news. Now, there is a formal channel that can allow you to return to the city!"

"What channel?"

After hearing what Li Changhe said, Li Xiaojun's thoughts, which had been calm, started to fluctuate like a roller coaster again, and she anxiously asked Li Changhe, "College Entrance Examination!"

"The capital is already preparing to resume the college entrance examination. As long as you pass the exam and get admitted to a university, you can obtain cadre status and relocate your household registration to the city!"

"If you can pass the exam and return to the capital, it means you can return to the capital with your household registration openly without any obstacles!"

"My dad asked me to come here this time just for this matter. He and I have already brought the textbooks to you. You should study hard during this period and seize this opportunity!"

Li Changhe then took out the teaching materials he brought from his travel bag and showed them to Li Xiaojun.

"There are also notes written by my father and I for you. You also went to high school. With these materials, I think it won't be difficult for you to get into college."

"This is the first year of resumption, and I guess the questions may be very simple. You must seize the opportunity!"

Li Changhe said to Li Xiaojun seriously.

Li Xiaojun took the textbook tremblingly, looked at the densely packed problem-solving ideas on it, and then a determined look emerged on his face.

"Okay, I'll take the test!"

"Well, sister, there is one more thing, that is, how do you deal with their family?"

"I don't know how your marriage with Chen Aiguo is going, so I want to ask for your opinion."

"If you feel that your relationship is average and you don't want to bring him with you when you return to the city, I will help you get a divorce."

"If you feel that your relationship as husband and wife is close and you don't want to get divorced, then I will help you separate the family property!"

At this moment, Li Changhe looked at Li Xiaojun seriously and expressed his thoughts.

Divorce or separation!
He made up his mind after listening to Haven's story.

But he would not force Li Xiaojun to do anything, after all, this was Li Xiaojun's own life.

The choice is up to Li Xiaojun, and it depends mainly on her relationship with her husband.

"In fact, your sister-in-law is a very good person. She has been very good to me over the years. It's just that there are some things that can't be helped. You know, in the countryside, filial piety is more important."

"He also knows that his parents are partial, but sometimes, there's nothing you can do. You can't really ask him to break off relations with his parents!"

Li Xiaojun said with some sigh, it was obvious that she did not want to divorce and abandon her husband and children.

Li Changhe nodded. It seemed that his sister did not want to divorce and there were no major problems in their relationship.

"Well, since you don't want to get divorced, then take this opportunity to separate the family. It will be a good thing for you to have separate household registrations."

"So that you don't get bullied by his family when you sign up for the college entrance exam. It will also be convenient for you to return to the city in the future. You can bring your household registration with you directly. When the time comes, Chen Aiguo will help him find a job in Beijing."

"Besides, after the separation, you will have time to review your lessons at home alone without being disturbed by them."

"I'll talk to them about what's going on later. Sister, don't say anything. Go call Chen Aiguo in now!"

Li Changhe said to Li Xiaojun seriously.

Li Xiaojun hesitated for a moment, then nodded, stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

"patriotic!"

Outside the door, Chen Aiguo heard Li Xiaojun's shout and his face changed suddenly, turning pale.

Seeing Li Xiaojun waving, his body trembled inexplicably, and then he walked into the house hesitantly.

　I guess everyone is waiting, so I'll post it soon after I finish writing it. By the way, I'll ask for some data. I recommend you to support me with monthly tickets. I'm in urgent need of support from my brothers! I found out someone gave me a reward after I posted it. Thanks to Xiaopangniang for the reward. It's the top one!
