After reading it, Song Ning wanted to tear the letter to shreds.
"Does Huo Chunmei have some serious illness? She's gone mad, she's really gone mad!"
But then I thought, I'll have to show Huo Beian what kind of person his sister really is!
Thinking of this, she took the letter into the house and placed it on the table.
I sat there sulking.
By this time, the Huo family had already gotten out of the car and arrived at the military region.
They bought a lot of things on their way here.
Fruit, malted milk powder, and some meat.
Huo Beian was working in his office when he heard a phone call coming in from outside the door.
"Battalion Commander Huo, your father, mother and sister have arrived."
"What?"
Huo Beian couldn't help but wonder, why did they suddenly come without saying a word?
But he still went out to greet him.
"Dad, Mom, Sister, what brings you here?"
“Bei’an, I brought your sister here to apologize to Song Ning in person. I already taught Chunmei a lesson last night, and she has sworn to change her ways.”
After saying that, Huo Zhengang took Huo Chunmei's hand and showed her the redness and swelling on her wrist.
"Look."
Huo Chunmei also avoided looking at Huo Beian, instead apologizing softly, "Brother, I'm sorry. I really know I was wrong. I'll definitely apologize to my sister-in-law when I see her later."
"Chunmei, our family is upright and doesn't welcome people with wicked intentions. Since Dad has already reprimanded you, I won't say anything more. If you continue to oppose your sister-in-law, I'll teach you a lesson before Dad even has to lift a finger, do you understand?"
"I heard that..."
Huo Chunmei hung her head, looking utterly dejected.
Li Yun then said, "Bei'an, Chunmei has really changed this time. What about Song Ning? We'll go and apologize to her in person."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Upon arriving at the family compound, Huo Beian called out as soon as he entered the courtyard.
"Wife, look who's here."
Song Ning stood up, walked out the door, and stood in the yard. She saw that it was Huo Zhengang, Li Yun, and Huo Chunmei.
Upon seeing Huo Chunmei, her anger flared up immediately.
What are you doing here?
Song Ning's tone was very cold.
Huo Zhengang quickly spoke up, "Song Ning, she was spared from being defiled that day thanks to you. I already reprimanded Chunmei last night; it was all a misunderstanding. Chunmei, what are you still standing there for? Go apologize to your sister-in-law."
Huo Chunmei cautiously stepped forward, avoiding Song Ning's eyes, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I apologize to you. I'm sorry for everything that happened before. I'll change and never do it again. Will you forgive me?"
Forgive? Heh.
Song Ning sneered, stepped forward, and slapped her across the face.
"This slap is a slap for repaying kindness with enmity."
Then, with a loud slap, another slap.
"This slap is to show you have no manners."
Huo Chunmei covered her face, feeling a burning sensation, and cried out, "Sister-in-law! I've already apologized to you, why are you still hitting me?"
"Not every 'I'm sorry' can be met with 'It's okay.' People always have to pay the price for their actions. I—will not forgive!"
Just thinking about that letter he just wrote, where he berated her so harshly, and then asked her to forgive him?
She'd never forgive that, even if she were out of her mind!
Moreover, she had just written a letter scolding her, and then immediately came to apologize and say she had changed.
Who would believe that?
The situation suddenly became somewhat awkward.
Li Yun couldn't sit still any longer. She immediately stepped forward, leaving Chunmei aside, and said, "Song Ning, I'm not trying to criticize you, but Chunmei has already realized her mistake. Just give her a chance. You didn't forgive her, and you even hit her? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Huo Zhengang never expected things to go so badly.
He quickly stepped forward, "Song Ning, look, we've come all this way by train just to apologize to you. We've come with the utmost sincerity. Chunmei really knows she was wrong, so please give her a chance."
"Give her a chance? Did you give me a chance to explain?"
Song Ning suddenly became hoarse and desperate, "I clearly saved her that day, but you didn't distinguish right from wrong and even hit me. Did you give me a chance to explain?"
"This... Song Ning, I'm sorry. It was my fault. I was wrong that day. I apologize to you too." Li Yun also began to apologize.
“Song Ning, I was mainly unaware of what had happened that day. It's all my fault for not investigating properly and listening to what that mother and daughter said. Don't worry, it won't happen again. No matter what happens, I will stand up for you. After all, as the head of the household, I am reasonable.”
Huo Zhengang also quickly expressed his opinion.
Huo Chunmei quickly came over and continued, "Sister-in-law, look, you've calmed down after the fight. We came all the way by train to apologize to you. Can you forgive us?"
Li Yun chimed in, "That's right, daughter-in-law. We're family after all. If there's a misunderstanding, we should apologize to each other and get along peacefully again. We're not unreasonable people, and Chunmei has sworn to change. Please forgive us, okay?"
Song Ning looked at the family with cold eyes and an expressionless face, and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Her emotions were all being used to morally blackmail her.
It's as if she has to forgive, otherwise it's her fault.
On what grounds?
"I will not forgive."
After saying that, Song Ning broke free and ran away.
Huo Beian was stunned.
In his heart, his wife had always been a very generous and magnanimous person. She could forgive those who gossiped about her behind her back in the family compound without holding grudges. But she couldn't forgive her own family members, and there must be some reason he didn't know.
