Xie Ruheng then proposed the protection of the poor’s right to life and health. A large part of the reason why human body transportation energy smuggling was possible was that human life was not valuable in slums, and no one cared whether there were more or less people.
When Xie Ruheng mentioned earlier that the Cheng family’s smuggling target might be the empire, Grandpa Tang was not surprised because Tang Bai had told him that Xie Ruheng also knew about the future revealed by magic silver.
On the contrary, when Xie Ruheng proposed the protection of the poor, Grandpa Tang’s expression showed a slight fluctuation. He said leisurely: “You have many good ideas for improving the slums.”
The series of measures suggested to protect the rights of the poor were full of warmth.
Grandpa Tang had always believed that it was difficult for an alpha who was indifferent to others to bring happiness to his partner.
Take Gu Mian for example. He felt that the child was too cold, as cold as a war machine. Sleeping with such a cold and rational person, Li Songyun, who was initially lively and cheerful, seemed to have been assimilated.
But Admiral Gu was always proud of his daughter-in-law, who knew the rules, was capable and could give birth to alphas, and would often persuade him to find another daughter-in-law who could give birth to an alpha for his family.
After thinking that Xie Ruheng was an orphan and no elders would make things difficult for Tang Bai, Grandpa Tang’s eyes became even more satisfied when he looked at Xie Ruheng.
Xie Ruheng, who received a rare compliment from Grandpa Tang, perked up. Then he was self-effacing, and then used a rainbow fart to fully praise Tang Bai’s proposal of slum graffiti and so on.
When Grandpa Tang heard his precious grandson being praised so highly by Xie Ruheng, he suddenly felt that he should not have labeled Xie Ruheng a “sweet talker” before.
This Xiao Xie was obviously very honest. Listen to what he said about their Tangtang, and how realistic he was.
When Grandpa Tang smiled, the serious atmosphere in the car relaxed. The old man told Xie Ruheng about the past wars between the Federation and the Empire, what weapons he had designed, and finally told Xie Ruheng about the information network system and its different applications in times of war and times of peace.
“In peacetime, the Weapons Research Institute also has very high authority over the information network, such as checking hotel room opening records…” Grandpa Tang said meaningfully: “Even the specific quantity of items consumed in the room can be found out.”
Xie Ruheng’s eyes trembled.
He quickly talked about his views on premarital sex, which was very convincing when combined with Xie Ruheng’s restraint during the susceptible period and when Tang Bai was alone.
But when the father and son of the Tang family looked at each other, their eyes showed similar solemn and vigilant looks.
Within the Tang family group.
Grandpa Tang: “He has to have a check-up.”
Father Tang: “A check-up will be too deliberate. Our family activities this fall will be changed to hot spring bathing. Then I will share the pool with him to see if he has any problems.”
Tang Bai: “What are you guys saying?”
Tang Bai closed the family group in confusion and listened to the conversation between Mother Tang and Li Songyun.
“You have been together for twenty-six years and have four children. Have you really decided to divorce him?” Mother Tang held Li Songyun’s hand and said seriously: “Have you considered how you will live after the divorce? If you, an omega, get divorced, the social environment would be very unfriendly to you.”
Bai Zhi said: “After your divorce, it will be difficult to use the connections and resources that you have accumulated as Mrs. Gu. There is also the issue of custody. If the Gu family wants to fight with you and forcefully reconcile, you may not be able to win against them. It’s not that you may not be able to win, but you will definitely not be able to win against him.”
“I’ve thought about it, I must divorce and end this marriage.” Li Songyun spoke gently and softly, but no one doubted the firmness of his words.
“Xiao Feng is a beta. He is not valued at home. After I have chosen to leave the house, the Gu family will not have any kindness left behind for him.”
“Except for Xiao Feng, the three children are all grown up, and they don’t need me. What should I worry about? Looking at it this way, there is no other bond between me and Gu Mian.”
Li Songyun said with relief: “Twenty-six years have passed between me and Gu Mian. It sounds like a long time, but I still have more than one hundred and forty years left in my lifespan.”
“Compared with more than one hundred and forty years, what is twenty-six years? Long-term pain is not as good as suffering short-term pain. Maybe I will not live well in the more than ten years after the divorce, but people will always adapt, right?”
He raised his eyes and looked at Tang Bai, then looked at Bai Zhi, “And I believe that the social environment will get better and better.”
Bai Zhi was startled. He had thought up a set of words to comfort Li Songyun, but at this moment, he received unexpected encouragement from Li Songyun’s eyes full of affirmation and trust.
“Yes, it will get better and better.” Bai Zhi said a little touched.
Tang Bai nodded vigorously and said resolutely: “Of course it will, everything will be fine!”
Li Songyun took a deep breath, “I want to find a job, whether it’s opening a dessert shop, being a teacher, or anything else, then I can buy a house in a community close to Xiao Feng’s school. And when Xiao Feng has his winter and summer vacations, I can take him on a trip…”
When talking about the future after divorce, Li Songyun’s tired eyes suddenly revealed a hint of hope.
Mother Tang felt strange to see a Li Songyun like this.
She had been with Li Songyun for more than twenty years, but she had never seen Li Songyun look like this. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
She thought she might never really have understood Li Songyun.
“Next, I have to trouble you to accompany me to choose a house.” Li Songyun said to Mother Tang, “I want to decorate it more warmly, like your home.”
Mother Tang looked at Li Songyun blankly.
She had been to Li Songyun’s home and praised Li Songyun many times for keeping his house in order and praised the Gu family’s decoration style. At that time, Li Songyun had mentioned that he preferred the Tang family’s decoration.
But at that time, she only regarded this sentence as a polite compliment.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that similar conversations had happened many times. Once Li Songyun said that he envied having a child like Tang Bai, but she didn’t take it seriously at that time.
Inexplicable emotions surged over her, and Mrs. Tang’s eyes turned so sour that she wanted to cry.
“Don’t feel sorry for me, You Wen.” The midday sun shone through the car window and fell on Li Songyun. The scenery outside the car window blurred into blocks of color, and the dust in the car was floating up and down, like an elf dancing around Li Songyun.
“I’m starting a new life, and you should be happy for me.” He smiled slowly. There were a few fine lines at the end of his eyes, but his eyes were as clear and bright as a young man’s.
He said, “From today on, I am not Mrs. Gu, and I am not from the Li family.”
“I have already contacted the moving company. As long as I choose a house, I can move in and have a home of my own.”
