It’s no wonder that Tang Qiyue made such a guess. After all, Tang’s father is old, and with the changes in the Tang family, it’s normal even if he is about to die.
But Tang Qiyue didn't want to go back.
She has no feelings for Tang's father.
But she doesn't have to go back, but Tang Xiuyuan must go back.
Severing ties is an external act, but deep down Chinese people still believe that blood ties cannot be severed.
Tang's mother patted Tang Qiyue's shoulder and said, "What nonsense! Even if that old man is dying, it's not up to you to say that!"
Tang Qiyue had a strange look in her eyes. She couldn't understand why her mother was so polite to her father.
Neither marriage nor divorce is honorable.
"What's that look?"
Tang's mother naturally noticed that there was something wrong with Tang Qiyue's eyes, and asked helplessly.
"Mom, you don't still have feelings for my dad, do you?"
This statement was met with a roll of the eyes from Tang's mother.
Perhaps she realized that if she didn't explain clearly, Tang Qiyue would think even more distortedly, so she opened her mouth to explain: "What nonsense! I don't have any feelings for that old man. I was forced to marry him back then. Fortunately, he divorced her cleanly afterwards!"
Both of them have their own reasons. Even though they have a child, it doesn't mean they are in love.
Among the marriages of that era, how many were the ones I liked?
"Your brother has severed his ties with him. Even if he went a little too far, it's nothing. He doesn't need a son anyway. But you haven't severed your ties with that old man. Besides, you even got a lot of dowry when you got married!"
Let’s not talk about the value of the dowry for now, just say that Tang’s father has no problem on the surface. Even if it is a substitute marriage, he still found a backer for Tang Qiyue.
Of course Tang Qiuyue knew this.
What's more, she cheated Tang's father out of so much gold.
Neither the father nor the daughter could say anything to the other.
"Forget it, let's not argue with him. What do you mean, Mom? Do you want me to go back and see him?"
This time, Tang's father sent a telegram to Tang Xiuyuan, not Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiyue guessed that it was not that her father had not thought about looking for her, but it was probably because Zhan Zeye's unit kept it confidential, and Zhan's mother would definitely not give him the exact address. Even if he wanted to write a letter, he would not know where to send it.
There is another reason. Tang Chunlan was on the island before. Logically, Tang Chunlan could contact her father. However, later Tang Chunlan's relationship with Tang Qiyue became tense, and she was sent to another island. Her freedom was also restricted. It is estimated that no one on the island dared to send her a letter.
It was equivalent to Tang’s father being unable to find Tang Chunlan.
Tang's father was anxious to find Tang Xiuyuan, most likely because of Tang Chunlan.
Tang Qiyue expressed her guess, and her mother also suddenly realized it.
Tang's mother and her family did not think too much about it, but Tang's father had a spoiled daughter-in-law, and that daughter-in-law loved Tang Chunlan the most.
"Humph, for a thing that is not even presentable, that old man is really confused!"
When Tang Qiyue's stepmother is mentioned, Tang's mother becomes unhappy.
Even if the stepmother is Tang's father's favorite and has followed Tang's father earlier than Tang's mother, it does not prevent the stepmother from becoming a concubine, while Tang's mother is still the original wife.
There is a big age gap between the two. Tang's mother looks down on concubines, but she also doesn't want to get involved in the harem struggles.
"Mom, why are you arguing with him? He's so old, and Uncle Wang is still so young. You're living a happy life now, don't let him affect your mood!"
Tang Qiyue held her mother's arm, trying to stop her from being affected by her father's mood.
"You, it's all because I wasn't strong enough back then that I gave you such a father!"
Tang's mother also blamed herself.
The two children were as good as having no father. If it weren't for Old Madam Tang protecting them when she was alive, and if Mother Tang hadn't tried her best to love Tang Qiyue, the life of this eldest daughter would have been very miserable.
Having lived two lives, Tang Qiyue would no longer take such things to heart. Instead, she made her mother happy, had dinner with her, and sent her home.
However, they all tacitly disagreed with Tang's father's wish for Tang Xiuyuan to go back.
Tang Xiuyuan is now on the island and it is impossible for him to leave the island. He will not take the telegram seriously.
Tang Qiyue was waiting for Zhan Zeye to come back to discuss this matter.
Everyone was very tired that day, and Tang Qiuyue fell asleep immediately and had a good night's sleep.
After the rice was threshed, the uncle had it weighed. He specifically asked the rice harvesters to keep the harvest from the field that Tang Qiuyue was responsible for separately, and the harvest from other fields was also weighed.
Because Tang Qiuyue provided the nutrients, the harvest did not change much, which made the uncle feel relieved. He was afraid that the grain harvest was related to Tang Qiuyue personally.
The yield per mu exceeds 500 kilograms.
Although it only doubled, it still made everyone very excited.
The old man was reluctant to eat all the rice, so he kept most of it as seeds.
Tang Qiuyue had no opinion on such matters.
The weather got cold, there were no crops in the fields, and the people on the island became idle.
Everyone gathered together from time to time to chat about family matters, but Tang Qiyue participated less. She was dragged by Shanhu to the fishing village.
"Sister Qiyue, my mother insists that I find a man to marry this year. Please help me think of an idea!"
Shanhu did not take Tang Qiyue back to her home, but went to Yu Niang's home.
Although the fisherman's house was very simple, she kept it very clean. The weather was getting cold, but not yet to the point of being unbearable, and there was no brazier lit in the house.
The fisherwoman took out the dried fish she had made and let the two of them eat while talking. Then she went into the inner room to explain something to Dashan.
"Isn't this a good thing? Don't you have any interest in it?"
Tang Qiuyue remembered that Shanhu had said that her family would find her a son-in-law, and she couldn't help but tease her.
"Don't mention it. Ever since travel between islands was banned, my parents have been worried. They think I might become an old maid, so they asked me to find a man in the village."
Everyone in the village knew the situation. Shanhu really hadn't found anyone she liked. Besides, there were so many soldiers in the military camp next door. She had already been bewitched by them. How could she still be attracted to the unmarried men in the village?
She was really overwhelmed at this moment.
If it weren't for the regulations in the military camp prohibiting messing around with people from the fishing village, Shanhu would probably have been able to force a soldier to marry her.
"Whenever I think about sleeping in the same bed with those men at night, I get goosebumps. Sister Qiyue, you must save me!"
Shanhu held Tang Qiyue's hand with a pleading look on her face.
She really wanted to reveal her true feelings and make Tang Qiyue believe her words.
The fisherwoman came out from the inner room and said, "Don't be so embarrassing. I heard Aunt Xiangqin say that they'll have a market with people from other islands during the twelfth lunar month. Why don't you look for it there?"
It is said to be a market for communication, but it is just a market set up on several islands for unmarried men and women to meet each other.
The fisherwoman curled her lips: "The key is that I have a man I like!"
