At night, when they were about to sleep, Wang Xiaojie brought up the matter to Lu Jiaguang, saying with puzzlement, "Lili used to be so good to Jiajie and the child, how did she become like this now?"
If it were because of supplementing her natal family that the divorce was happening, she would help persuade against it. But now that Lu Jiajie was divorcing for the future of their two children, there was no way to convince him otherwise, and she couldn't bring herself to say it either.
Lu Jiaguang sighed and said, "After Ma Lili got sterilized and couldn't have children, the Ma couple asked Jiajie to allow Qiangqiang to take the Ma surname, but they became less friendly after being refused. Jiajie has always wanted to move out, and he talked about it many times with Ma Lili, but she never agreed."
"How come you never mentioned it before?"
