Chapter 389: Chapter 389

Ye Ling was already in a bad mood; she no longer considered the person in front of her as her mother. But when an outsider says such things, Ye Ling could directly slap them across the face. Yet the person in front of her had a status, so she couldn’t make a move.

"Since you hate me so much, why didn’t you strangle me when I was born? Why use those manipulative words every day to belittle me? What good does that bring you? Or do you want to lose face, want people to talk behind your back? Just say so, then we can fight every day. If you don’t want me in this house, then I’ll go. When did I ever insist on staying here?" Ye Ling retorted furiously.

Bai Xue threw down the broom she held, "Ye Ling, don’t think that just because you’ve graduated and found a good partner, you’ve got wings now. If I don’t want to let you succeed, I have plenty of ways. You better behave; if you really provoke me, do you believe I can get you kicked out of the military?"

"Go ahead and try it then." Ye He Ping strode into the yard, looking at his wife coldly, "I’ve only seen enemies speak like that; I’ve never seen a mother say such things to her daughter. You must really hate Ye Ling. Today I want to ask you, is Ye Ling your biological daughter? Initially, when I was away, I only came home once, and then you were pregnant. I suspect Ye Ling isn’t mine, right? You’re afraid of this issue blowing up, that’s why you’ve been tormenting Ye Ling every day."

"Anyway, since we’re saying this today, just say it directly, is it true? If not, I’ll send her away, sparing you from daily misery." Ye He Ping expressed his hatred, saying such words out loud.

Bai Xue was scared pale upon seeing her husband appear, and when she heard his words, she was shaken, not because what he said was true, but because she knew how angry he was now. "Ye He Ping, how could you say that? Are you so eager to wear a green hat yourself?"

Bai Xue was both anxious and furious, and she started to cry on the spot.

Ye Ling didn’t bother listening to her shouting and said flatly to her father beside her, "Dad, I’m going to Da XingAn Ridge in a few days; the notification has already come. They told me to prepare these few days, and I can go anytime. I’ll just pack up and leave today."

Ye He Ping watched his daughter stride into the house, feeling a heavy heart, and looked up at his wife, "Divorce."

He left those two words and went inside.

Bai Xue staggered and sat down on the floor.

Though it wasn’t the usual endless argument, sometimes words said in times are real. Bai Xue, regaining her senses, rushed inside, where Ye He Ping was just about to comfort his daughter, and his wife attacked him with claws and scratches. Unprepared, his face got scratched several times. Ye He Ping had long been disappointed with his wife and wouldn’t tolerate her tantrums anymore; he kicked her, and Bai Xue, hit in the stomach, staggered backward and fell to the ground, stunned, unable to get up.

"Ye He Ping, I’ll fight you to the end. You want to divorce me, no way, I won’t agree." Bai Xue cried and threw a fit on the floor.

Ye He Ping couldn’t stay in the house even for a moment. "Pack up and leave now."

After speaking to his daughter, Ye He Ping also packed a few clothes for himself. Seeing these two were about to leave, Bai Xue, enduring her stomach pain, stood up. Having just been kicked by her husband, she didn’t dare rush up again and turned her efforts on her daughter.

"You little wretch, why did I give birth to you to bring me debt? Why don’t you just die?" Saying this, she tried to hit her.

Ye Ling didn’t move, as her father was already in between, raising his hand and slapping Bai Xue, causing her to see stars, and her vision blurred while hearing her husband’s roar, "Just keep it up. This divorce is certain. You don’t want to leave? Then live alone for the rest of your life. I won’t come back to this house again."

He no longer had the mind to pack and pulled his daughter to leave. Ye Ling picked up her bag. She didn’t bring her quilt, only took her clothes and books out. Ye He Ping, furious outside, only calmed down after noticing what his daughter was carrying and helped her take them.

Having had part of his stomach removed, he couldn’t handle emotional swings; after taking just a few steps, Ye He Ping felt difficulty breathing. Ye Ling got scared, supporting her father to sit on the roadside, using the bag as a seat. After more than half an hour, his complexion gradually returned to normal.

"Lingzi, I can’t live with your mom anymore. I just want to live a few more years; this is unbearable." Ye He Ping couldn’t hold back his tears. "I regret trusting her wholeheartedly back then; otherwise, your grandma wouldn’t have left so early. I wasn’t filial."

"Dad." Ye Ling’s eyes reddened too.

The father and daughter stood on the roadside in the rain, drawing attention, but Ye He Ping didn’t care anymore. After all these years in the military, his health deteriorated, and the family’s situation was . In hindsight, if he had taken responsibility as a man and stabilized the family, it wouldn’t have come to this. Google seaʀᴄh novel✦fire.net

The ancient maxim of governing the family and the nation was now understood, albeit too late.

"Dad, let’s find a place to settle down first, then I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up." With her father in such a state, Ye Ling couldn’t leave in peace.

"No problem, I won’t die for now." Ye He Ping knew he’d let his daughter see a joke, wiped away his tears, and stood up. "There’s a vacant room next to my workplace; I’ll rent it. Anyway, you’re going to the military soon and won’t stay many days."

Seeing her father had made arrangements, Ye Ling felt half relieved, followed him to the mentioned place. Behind the library, there was a row of bungalows; several houses were for rent. They finally chose one near the Land Bureau to live in.

There was nothing necessary for living; all the bedding needed to be bought. At this time, there were no ready-made products, everything had to be made with cotton. Ye Ling regretted leaving in a hurry; otherwise, she wouldn’t have to worry about money. Ye He Ping preferred to spend more money rather than returning to that house. After renting a place, he went shopping with his daughter. They bought everything from daily items to food until nightfall, finally gathering everything.

Ye He Ping and his daughter started setting up home here. At night, he cooked while Ye Ling hurriedly made bedding, while on the other end, Bai Xue, seeing the empty house, got truly frantic and went to find her younger daughter for advice without even locking the door. When Shen Bin arrived, he saw the Ye Family’s doors wide open with no one inside.

He waited until nightfall and saw no one returning. But Shen Bin noticed something was wrong; the West Room was missing Ye Ling’s belongings. Normally, when she returned from school, there should be some things piled on the kang, but there wasn’t any. Urgently, he left the Ye Family and headed toward the library. (To be continued.
