Chapter 54

So, she was very resistant to the term “stepmother.” She didn’t find the stepmother that Xiao Ming Wei described as pretty as a fairy girl at all, nor did she believe that the stepmother in Xiao Ming Wei’s words was a good person.

“You’re lying! My mom is doing great, she is Little Fairy, she loves me, second brother, and big brother, if you don’t believe me, come to my house and see!”

Don’t be fooled by Xiao Ming Wei’s young age; the little cutie had a sharp tongue!

To be precise, Xiao Ming Wei was able to speak a lot of words before she was even two years old, and after she turned two, her speech was super smooth.

“Vivi! Hanhan!”

The yard gate was half open, and Kang Li, holding Xiao Ming Rui’s hand, came out of the yard. Hearing Xiao Ming Wei’s baby voice, she looked over and saw the little cutie arguing with a girl smaller than her.

“What’s wrong? Vivi, did something happen?”

Approaching, she let go of Xiao Ming Rui’s hand, knelt on one knee, took the little cutie into her arms, and looked into the little cutie’s eyes with a gentle voice.

The other children standing under the old banyan tree turned their gazes to Kang Li’s face at that moment.

“Wow! Vivi didn’t fool us, her mom really does look like a Fairy!”

“Vivi’s mom is really pretty!”

Xiao Ming Han’s baby voice then chimed in: “I told you my sister wasn’t lying to you, you just wouldn’t believe it, now you see, isn’t my mom especially especially pretty?”

Listen to that, really full of oneself.

In fact, at this moment, Xiao Ming Han was standing tall, with an air of smugness in her delicate features.

“Mom, you are Vivi’s mom, not a stepmom, right?”

Xiao Ming Wei looked at her mom, her large eyes like black grapes nearly instantly filled with mist.

Kang Li was taken aback by the question!

For children old enough to remember, not having their birth mother by their side undoubtedly made them sensitive, especially for the Wen Yue sisters, whose birth mother had ostensibly left because of her unhappy marriage with Wen Siyuan, leading to divorce. But in reality, as a woman and mother who loved her own flesh and blood, who would want to abandon her children and leave her home?

Indeed, the Wen Yue sisters’ birth mother did not want to leave her own children, but the pressure was undeniably immense as she had given birth to three daughters over several years.

Because she knew all too well that her continuous birth of daughters over the years seriously displeased her husband, not to mention the attitude of her in-laws.

Given this, after the birth of the third daughter, Wen Yue’s birth mother had not even completed the traditional Chinese postpartum period when she was confronted with a divorce agreement, one that was initiated by her mother-in-law and to which her husband raised no objections.

Pleading was useless, even when using their children and years’ worth of affection as leverage, none of it worked.

But she simply did not agree to the divorce.

She kept dragging it out.

From their child’s full moon celebration to the 100th day, then the first birthday, and finally until the child was almost two and a half years old, seeing that her husband truly intended to go through with it, and with her parents stepping in to mediate, Wen Yue’s birth mother had no choice but to painfully proceed with the divorce formalities with Wen Siyuan.

And the ones who could persuade their own daughter to divorce were not necessarily doing it for her sake, considering the husband’s family wanted to divorce without any sentiment, clinging to a loveless marriage did not benefit their daughter.

However, Wen Yue sisters’ birth mother, Song Ning, was not persuaded to agree to the divorce by her parents out of concern for her well-being.

They were swayed by kindness received and flattery.

That’s right, after dining together in a state-owned restaurant, Song Ning’s parents received a sum of more than two hundred yuan and a stack of coupons and certificates from Wen Siyuan’s parents,
