"Even if we take a step back," Huang Xiaosan continued, "Sister-in-law's current problem is something she brought upon herself; she brought it upon herself. But Da Niu and the others were beaten by her. To this day, neither of you has asked them if they're in pain!"

Thinking of this, Huang Xiaosan couldn't help but get angry, especially when he heard Huang Laoda's various explanations.

Yes, Da Niu and the others only had superficial injuries, nothing life-threatening, but comparing them to Da Sao's headaches is disgusting.

Why should the victim compare their misery to that of the perpetrator?

Just because children are young and don't know any better, does that mean you can bully them as much as you want?

They are indeed young and don't understand these principles, but they have hearts and know how to feel pain!

These words left Huang Chuan speechless. "I hadn't thought that much about it before."

As for the children's injuries, once he knew they weren't serious, he kept it to himself. After all, the children were alright; it was the children's own mother who had hurt them.

Although he resented it, he also knew that taking things too seriously would only damage the relationship.

“We don’t want to get involved in your past messes,” Huang Lao Er said impatiently. “We’ve come here today just to ask you one question: do you still want the child?”

If you want them, treat the children well and don't make them sad anymore. If you don't want them, the three of us will treat them as our own. Once you leave this house, just consider them dead, and you won't need to make a special trip home anymore!

When Huang Lao Er said his last sentence, there was a strong warning in his words.

He was very dissatisfied with Boss Huang.

Harming one's offspring is something no man could tolerate, but he was utterly useless. His sister-in-law used a self-inflicted injury to make him swallow all the past grievances.

“Yes, of course we want them,” Old Huang said nervously. “They are my children, and we will never give them up, no matter what.”

"Stop with the formalities," Huang Lao Er waved his hand. "Just tell us how you plan to treat them. If they're like before, not coming back for a month or two, there's no need to waste everyone's time."

"I……"

"Big Brother," Huang Xiaosan interrupted before Huang Laoda could finish speaking, "This should be the first and last time we discuss this matter with you. If you can't come up with a convincing explanation, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Huang immediately swallowed the words he was about to say and tightly closed his mouth.

After a short while, she slumped weakly into a chair. "I know what you mean and I understand your thoughts, but it's already rare to go back five or six times a month. If we go to the capital in the future, it will be common for us not to see each other for two or three years."

“It’s all an excuse,” Huang Lao Er said disappointedly. “Let’s pretend we weren’t here today. Jiang Chao, Xiao San, let’s go back.”

Although he felt things wouldn't go smoothly before he came, he still felt very frustrated when faced with the actual result.

"Big brother, can't you think more about Da Niu and the others?" Huang Xiaosan still wouldn't give up. "They're such young kids, how can you bear to let them down?"

"It can't be explained in a few words. Please give me some time, and I will try to spend more time with them afterwards."

Old Huang's words were vague, and he didn't want to explain further.

However, the three of them felt that these words were a deliberate attempt to brush them off.

Immediately, their faces turned ashen with anger.

"You're really something," Jiang Chao sneered. "You'd better watch yourself!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

After he left, Huang Lao Er also left.

"Big brother, can't you think more about Da Niu and the others? No matter how much we do, we are not their parents and can't replace you."

“I understand, I’m sorry to have troubled you all,” Huang said, feeling very guilty for causing trouble for his family. “The matter between your sister-in-law and me is complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. She is not behaving normally right now. If I don’t keep a close eye on her, I’m afraid something bad will happen.”

"Forget it," Huang Xiaosan sighed, "I'm not going to worry about you anymore. Just don't regret it later."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Before they had taken two steps, they heard Boss Huang's voice, "Little San, do you have any money left?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"It's alright, you can go now!"

"Um!"

Noticing that Boss Huang was hesitant to speak, Xiao San quickly quickened his pace.

Brothers are brothers, and money is money. He won't give money to anyone except his mother and wife.

After the others left, Huang Laoda sat alone in the front hall for a long time before finally going to Wang's room.

Upon learning of the arrival of the person, Wang felt very uneasy and anxiously waited for them inside the house.

"Husband, have Jiang Chao and the others already left?"

"Hmm." His expression remained blank, as always.

Why didn't you stay for dinner?

"Do you think the food here is as good as home-cooked meals?"

These words left Wang speechless. She had only casually started a conversation, but who knew her husband would take it so seriously.

"No matter what, it's all from our heart."

"No need for all this formalities. We're brothers, no need for formalities."

Upon hearing this, Wang bit her lip and simply asked, "What are they here for? Did they mention anything else?"

Under normal circumstances, Wang Shi was unwilling for Huang Chuan to go out, especially back to the mountain villa.

She was afraid that her man would be influenced by others and neglect her.

The reason I didn't stop it today is because I know we really don't have enough money.

I originally thought that after the family split up, I would be in charge and life would definitely get better and better. However, the reality is that there are still daily necessities to deal with.

Without any shared expenses to support them, and with no way to earn money, the couple relied on bird's nest and ginseng soup every day, and also had to buy jewelry and make clothes. A thousand taels of silver was simply not enough to cover their expenses.

“No,” Boss Huang shook his head. “Don’t worry about these trivial matters. I’ll figure out how to get the money.”

"My husband, if it really comes to it, I'll stop giving you bird's nest and herbal medicine."

"No need, just buy less jewelry."

It costs tens or even hundreds of taels of silver, which can neither be eaten nor cured, so it's completely unnecessary.

"That's okay too!"

Although Wang didn't show it, she was somewhat unhappy inside.

From the day she received the imperial decree, she followed the instructions of the Marquis of Liuxian and made sure to live a dignified life.

I left in a hurry and didn't bring my jewelry with me, so I'll have to buy new ones to make do for now.

It's not as exquisite as it used to be, nor as valuable as it once was, and she's already very dissatisfied.

I never imagined that I couldn't even buy this kind of inferior goods now.

The thought of already ordering jewelry from the jewelry store for the next time made her face darken.

"You can only eat what you're capable of," Huang Chuan said, his voice turning cold as he sensed his wife's thoughts. "I can take good care of you within my capabilities, but I can't hurt others for you."

"My lord, you've misunderstood, I just..."

“No need to explain,” Huang Chuan shook his head. “I know you better than you think.”

Just as he now dares not leave his wife alone, he feels that if he does, she will go crazy.

Rather than causing trouble later, it's better to keep a close eye on people yourself.
