Ms. Qian never understood why her mother wanted a divorce at her old age. It was not until she read about her mother's life that she realized how hard her mother's life had been.

In the past, grandma's partiality and father's indifference only left some vague traces in Ms. Qian's heart. As time passed, they faded away, leaving only family affection.

But now I know that I was born in such a family that favors boys over girls. My grandparents are so mean and my father is so selfish.

She almost dropped out of school, and her life would have been completely different.

It was her mother who stood in front of her, silently shielding her from all the storms and keeping her childhood free from many traumas.

It was her mother who fought for her the opportunity to study and safeguarded her future.

And what about the mother herself? She had been bound to her father, who was like an ice cube, all her life, and had never felt love or care.

She had wanted a divorce since she was young.

However, the pressure from her elders and her own weak character hindered her from pursuing freedom.

After having a child, the mother gradually got used to that kind of life and thought she could get by for the rest of her life.

But now, she is unwilling to settle for it. Even though she is old and even though her daughter does not understand, she has resolutely filed for a divorce.

After living her whole life for others, she finally wanted to live for herself.

At this moment, Ms. Qian pulled herself out of her past fantasies and woke up from her dream.

She looked at her mother in front of her, feeling distressed: "Mom, why didn't you tell me those things?"

"What should I tell you?" The old lady sighed helplessly, "You were studying before, and I didn't want those trivial things at home to affect you. And later, your grandparents are gone, can I still speak ill of the dead in front of you? As for your father... no matter how he treats me, he is still your father. Can I instigate you to make enemies with him?"

The old lady waved her hands and said, "The past is the past. Right now I just want to get a divorce. I don't want to serve him anymore, and I don't want to wash his feet."

"I don't want to see him again in my life. When I die one day, please don't bury me with him."

These words embody the old lady's decades of resentment.

"Mom, I'm sorry." Ms. Qian hugged her mother tightly, but was shocked to find that her mother, who used to be tall enough to shield her from all the wind and rain, had turned into a skinny old lady who needed her protection!

"I support your divorce. I'll talk to Dad and make sure he agrees!"

The mother used to be helpless, but now her daughter has grown up and is capable, and can be her support!

Ms. Qian has always been a decisive person. After leaving the live broadcast room, she immediately went to her father's side.

When my father was going to live in the city, my mother said to her daughter, "Your house is not big, how can you accommodate so many people? He is doing well in his hometown, playing mahjong and visiting friends when he has nothing to do. There is no need to bring him over!"

At that time, Ms. Qian felt that her mother thought the place was too small and worried that there was not enough space for her to live in, so she bought a small house in the same community for her parents to live in during their retirement.

Only now did I realize that my mother didn't want my father to come at all.

There is really no need for a couple to continue being together when they hate each other to this extent.

Now, Qian Dongliang is already very old and sits alone on the sofa watching TV in silence.

"Why hasn't your mother come back?" The old man's gaze fell behind his daughter, but he didn't see his wife, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

This damn old woman has been waiting for her all night, but she doesn’t even know how to go home!

Ms. Qian said bluntly: "My mother doesn't want to come back, so she will live with me from now on."

"what?"

The daughter raised her voice and repeated it again. The hard-of-hearing old man finally heard it clearly and said in a hard tone:

"No, call her back. She hasn't prepared water for me to wash my feet, and I haven't washed my feet yet."

Ms. Qian said angrily, "Dad, you are not too old to be unable to move. Can you please stop torturing my mom? She has been washing your feet for your whole life! Let's get a divorce."

"What did you say?"

"I said divorce! My mother has mentioned that she wants to divorce you before, so just agree to it!"

"I don't agree! You old woman, you want to get a divorce after living together for a lifetime? I can't afford to lose face like this!"

"You don't want to divorce her, so why haven't you been willing to treat her better since you were young? People are made of flesh and blood! My mother has served you all your life, why can't you feel sorry for her?"

"Asshole! How can a daughter instigate her parents to divorce? I paid for your college education, but what happened?"

When this matter was mentioned, Ms. Qian became even more angry and yelled:

"You still have the nerve to say that you paid for my college education. When my grandparents wanted me to drop out of school and get married in exchange for a dowry, you stood by and said nothing. It was my mom who had a huge fight with them for me! When grandma and grandpa teamed up to beat her, you didn't even raise your hand to stop them! Dad, do you really treat her as your wife? How could you just watch her get bullied like that?"

Ms. Qian burst into tears, feeling sorry for her mother's experience: "Later... Later, when she rushed into the kitchen with disheveled hair and took out a knife to die with you, you didn't say a word!"

The old man was stunned: "How do you know? Did your mother tell you? It happened so many years ago, is it worth it for her to bring it up?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. I saw with my own eyes how you treated my mother over the years!"

"What did you see? How did I treat her badly? In the past, which wife in the countryside didn't get scolded or beaten? I didn't even touch her. Isn't that good enough for her?"

"You didn't hit her, but you made her work like a slave for you all these years, and you never said a single gentle word to her."

"Do you know what you're calling this? This is called cold violence, which is more hurtful than a direct quarrel! My grandma didn't treat her as a human being, and you haven't treated her as a human being either."

"Forget it, I won't argue with you any more. No matter how much I say, it can't offset the suffering my mother has endured over the years. You must agree to the divorce. If you don't agree, don't blame your daughter for being unfilial."

Qian Dongliang's eyes widened: "Are you threatening your father? What are you going to do if I don't agree? Are you not going to support me?"

Ms. Qian said, "If you don't divorce me, I will sell this house and send you to a nursing home! My mother and I will never see you again! It is my responsibility to support you, but how should I support you? Good support or bad support? That makes a big difference!"
