The 99th Divorce

“You can come often in the future.” Su Qianci scraped the surface of the tea with the lid. Her hand was slightly shaking as she spoke. “The children were just complaining a few days ago that you don’t come to see them often enough. And I happen to want to learn shooting.” Then, she looked up at Rong Haiyue. “Can you teach me?”

“Of course!” Rong Haiyue immediately agreed, a little excited.

Rong Xuan looked at Su Qianci, a bit dazed. Four years later, her daughter had grown up a lot. In the past, she had tender and round cheeks, and now her face was more angled, with a mature and capable look. The way she talked and handled things were just as impeccable. Had she accepted them? Rong Xuan was in happy tears, but no one said anything.

After drinking tea and eating some snacks, Su Qianci took an air gun and handed it to Rong Haiyue. In the large backyard, there was a target left by Li Jinnan, which had never been thrown out. This air gun was also Li Jinnan’s. After Su Qianci drove the children away, she and Rong Haiyue started to practice.

The air gun was much lighter than an ordinary one, and it was automatically loaded. Su Qianci and Rong Haiyue were practicing how to aim. Rong Haiyue’s shooting was also famous among the troops. Almost all his shots were around the bull’s-eye, without much deviation. Su Qianci’s accuracy, however, almost made Rong Haiyue laugh. “The way you shoot, fortunately there is no one behind the target, otherwise there will be an accident.”

“It is just an air gun, not a real one.” Su Qianci didn’t care, holding the gun to aim at the target.

Li Jianqian and Li Mosen had already put the car model together, and Li Jianyue was playing with the doll with her left hand and the car with her right hand in the room, having a lot of fun. The two little boys were kneeling at the door, looking into the backyard. Their eyes were shining. Males’ love for machinery, cars, and all kinds of cold weapons were shared among all age groups. The two little boys were coveting the gun in Su Qianci’s hands, their eyes filled with desire.

Rong Haiyue had already noticed them. He took the gun from Su Qianci and said, “Although the air gun is not a real gun, it can also cause a lot of damage. In the past, many hunters liked to use this kind of gun to hunt some large animals, such as wild boars and bison. If a man was hit in a vital part, he could be killed.” Then, Rong Haiyue looked in the direction of the two little guys with a serious warning. “Especially children should never touch it. It is too dangerous.”

Su Qianci noticed the two little guys sneaking there and smiled, giving them a warning stare.

“Got it, grandfather!” Li Jianqian stood up and asked, “But what is a vital part?”

“A vital part is the most vulnerable part in the human body, such as the neck, the brain, and the heart. If these places are hit by an air gun, the man will die.” Rong Haiyue put the air gun away and went forward to drive away the children. “Don’t stay here, your mother is quite bad at this. If she missed the target and hurt you, it will be no good.”

Li Jianqian laughed loudly, and Su Qianci blushed and stomped her foot. “Not that serious. How can I hit them at a 90° corner!”

Li Mosen heard it and felt rather satisfied.

Your mother… Was she his mother as well?
