Dong Dingbang covered his face and looked at Liang Yin in a daze.

He didn't expect Liang Yin to hit him, and he didn't expect Liang Yin to use the word "heartless" to describe him.

He always thought that he was a pretty good husband and wife. After Cui Xuezhi married him, although he didn't live a life of luxury, at least he could be said to have never had to do housework.

His mother took care of all the housework, and sometimes he would help with the cleaning. When her feet were swollen, he would offer to make her footbath water and give her a massage. She was willful, skipping meals and insisting on eating grapes. She didn't do any housework but insisted on spending over 200 yuan on a washing machine. He knew it was an unreasonable request, but he still gave in.

Even when she kept maliciously speculating about his mother's intentions and spoke rudely to her, he tolerated her and never held it against her.

Apart from the accident that happened during childbirth, he really didn't know what else Cui Xuezhi had gone through that made her cousin Liang Yin use the word "heartless" to describe him.

Dong Dingbang felt wronged, but more importantly, he felt heartbroken.

Is your heart made of stone, Cui Xuezhi? It can't even keep warm?

Dong Dingbang was in a state of despair, and he was stunned and unresponsive.

Wang Yue cried even louder when she saw her son being beaten. She rushed to Dong Dingbang, like a hen protecting her chicks, and opened her arms to protect him. She glared at Liang Yin with furious eyes, "Let's talk it over. How can you hit someone? Even if you're Commander Liang's daughter, you can't hit someone!"

The subtext seems to be saying that Liang Yin is bullying others by relying on her status as Teacher Liang.

Liang Yin ignored Wang Yue and stared at Dong Dingbang intently, asking him, "Dong Dingbang, do you feel wronged when I hit you?"

Dong Dingbang didn't say anything, but there was a hint of grievance in his eyes, which clearly showed his attitude.

Liang Yin looked at the mother and son in front of her and felt extremely disappointed.

The family carefully selected a husband for Cui Xuezhi, and finally they fell in love with him.

She sneered, "Great, great. My sister risked her life and death to gain even a shred of remorse from you. I feel so sorry for her."

After saying that, Liang Yin glared at the two of them fiercely, turned around, and left without looking back.

Dong Dingbang stood there, feeling a little confused. He didn't know how he had offended Liang Yin again. He didn't do anything, so why was Liang Yin angry again?

Liang Yin hit him, but he couldn't fight back. Could it be that he couldn't even bear the grievances?

After Liang Yin left, the crowd that had gathered around to watch the excitement gradually dispersed.

"Son, I won't embarrass you. Since... you can't tolerate me, I'll go back to my hometown tomorrow..." Wang Yue made a bitter face, wiping away her tears while holding Dong Dingbang's arm and choking with sobs, "After all, I gave birth to you and your brother. From now on, I will live with your brother in my hometown. I promise that until I die, I will never appear in front of your wife again and cause her trouble."

"Mom, what you said really breaks my heart." Dong Dingbang felt very uncomfortable when he heard it.

His father died young, and his mother, a widow, raised him with great difficulty, training him to become an officer and cadre. And now, he's married, and he still has to live at the mercy of his mother's daughter-in-law...

Thinking of this, he felt a little resentful towards Cui Xuezhi.

It was clearly her own fault that she slipped and fell, so why did everyone in her family think it was her mother's fault?

Even if his mother was a little careless and shouldn't have let Cui Xuezhi go out alone, she shouldn't have been pointed at and shouted at by a junior, right?

In the final analysis, Cui Xuezhi and her Liang family just thought that his mother was from the countryside and looked down on her!

Dong Dingbang became resolute, holding Wang Yue's wrist, and said, "Don't worry, mother. I'm here, and no one can drive you away."

"Son, I know you're filial. I can't let my own feelings affect your relationship with Xuezhi." Wang Yue cried, "Xuezhi has obviously blamed me. If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid your marriage with Xuezhi will be ruined..."
