Hai Dongcheng glanced at Duan Hongguo and learned from the guard that he hadn't eaten all day, and that he was often too busy with work to eat.
"Just cook some noodles, it'll be ready soon." His tone remained indifferent.
Duan Hongguo didn't say anything more. Since he didn't want to eat takeout, he let him be.
Watching his busy figure in the kitchen, I couldn't help but smile.
He slowly approached her, wanting to learn more about his wife's life, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Mom was a high school teacher. When she learned of your sacrifice, she was afraid of retaliation! She changed her name and lived in Qingcheng in hiding. She was all alone and a widow, and she suffered a lot. If it weren't for Uncle Gu's family, Mom might not have been able to make it through. She has missed you and your sister every single day all these years."
Hai Dongcheng witnessed Duan Hongguo's actions. He stood there, thinking of the abandoned old man! He seemed to have something to say, but couldn't bring himself to say it.
I figured he probably wanted to ask about my mother, so it wouldn't hurt to tell him.
After all, he has the right to know, and I want him to know, what kind of life his mother has been living all these years.
Listening to his son recount his wife's life, how could he not understand her situation? It's common for a woman to raise a child alone to be bullied. In addition, in recent years, those people have been very chaotic, and countless people have been persecuted!
These people will only be worse off if their wives are from overseas.
"Uncle Gu and Aunt Ling protected my mother ten years ago, which allowed her to barely escape persecution. We have lived a very hard life all these years. My mother has endured until now because of my sister and me."
Hai Dongcheng carried the noodles out of the kitchen.
Duan Hongguo remained silent, staring into the kitchen, lost in thought.
Hai Dongcheng placed the noodles on the table, watched his retreating figure, and said in a gentler tone, "Brother Xu said you haven't eaten yet, and you don't have a good appetite. The porridge you bought spilled. Have some noodles!"
This is the first time I've done this for him, and it might be the last.
He wanted to see his mother's attitude. If she didn't acknowledge him as her father, he decided to follow her decision.
It turned out that this bowl of noodles was cooked for him.
As he turned around and looked at his son, a hint of joy and satisfaction appeared on his face! But more than that, he felt guilt and self-reproach.
He couldn't protect his wife and children, he couldn't protect his whole family.
Duan Hongguo and Hai Dongcheng sat across from each other eating, and neither of them spoke again.
Qian Xiuying received a call from her daughter and rushed home shortly after get off work. When she learned that it was Duan Hongguo who had come looking for her, she was extremely worried and called her husband, but he did not answer.
I was thinking of asking what happened the next day!
Lin Qiyue and Lan Yuchu arrived at the guesthouse. After a long day, they took a shower and rested.
The next morning, after checking out of the hotel, the two boarded a bus back to Shachen Village.
Because it was a weekday, there were many people crowding the bus in the morning, and they couldn't find any seats.
When the journey was halfway through, other passengers got off the bus to find seats.
