Even after the danger is eliminated, she will still relapse into a fixed state.
Today is the best example.
Jiang Nuan guessed that Huang Laisheng was so resolute because he realized this.
When Huang Laoda gave the things to Huang Shi, he asked curiously, "Uncle, if Auntie continues to cause trouble in the next life, will the clan really not tolerate her?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Shi remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "Your mother told you, didn't she? That's right, she'll keep causing trouble. Huangjiakou can't tolerate a woman like that."
"Then," Old Master Huang asked cautiously, "what will happen to Auntie in the next life?"
"What will happen to her?" Huang Shi looked up at the sky. "That depends on her own choice."
Huang Shi felt that both Huang Laisheng and Huangjiakou had done their utmost for the Tie family.
If she remains unrepentant, then they cannot be blamed.
In any case, the atmosphere in Huangjiakou must not be corrupted!
After saying this, Huang Shi ignored his nephew's reaction and left.
He still had to go back and copy the contract; he didn't have time to waste with that young brat. The fact that he said so much already showed his intention to teach him.
After Huang Shi left, Boss Huang muttered, "Was it really that serious?"
"What's the big deal?" Huang Lao Er's voice suddenly rang out, startling Huang Lao Da.
"Why do you walk so quietly?" Old Master Huang kicked his younger brother angrily. "Do you want a beating?"
"You can't hear me walking normally, is that my fault?" Huang Lao Er shrugged, then raised his eyebrows smugly and said, "Besides, you can't beat me now."
Huang Laoda learned his skills late and wasn't as diligent as Huang Laoer, so he was not only weaker, but also less agile.
His smug expression and boastful tone made Boss Huang unable to resist kicking him again.
This time, Huang Lao Er dodged. "Big brother, see? As long as I don't want to, you absolutely can't touch me."
"Get lost," Old Huang said, feeling frustrated. "Go play somewhere else and don't bother me while I'm thinking."
Shrugging, Huang Lao Er casually said, "Is it really necessary?"
"Get out!" Boss Huang pushed his younger brother aside and left through gritted teeth.
I had just started to get a clue, but my brother's interruption wiped out all my ideas.
Unable to figure it out, he went to Jiang Nuan for help again.
"Mother, I still don't understand what you said before."
At this moment, Jiang Nuan was considering whether to borrow some manpower from the Han family. Upon hearing this, she looked up helplessly and asked, "Why are you still fixated on this issue?"
Is it really necessary?
No matter how you look at it, this matter has little to do with our family.
“Mother, I really don’t understand,” Huang said, distressed. “If I can’t figure it out, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
"If you can't sleep, practice your calligraphy."
"Mother, please tell me," Huang the eldest pleaded, his face flushed, "what will happen to Auntie in the next life?"
“Fine, I’ll tell you,” Jiang Nuan said with a particularly helpless tone, “This is the best outcome for her now. She can live a peaceful life and, after a few years, when things have calmed down, she can still live with your Uncle Laisheng. If she keeps causing trouble, even if she isn’t divorced, she will be locked up or sent away by the clan.”
Even death from illness is possible.
The latter is just a wild guess based on Jiang Nuan's excessive viewing of palace dramas.
Upon hearing this, Old Huang paused for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Aunt Laisheng, was it our family that caused this?"
This is the real reason why Old Master Huang got to the bottom of things.
He felt that the Tie family's current predicament was inseparable from his own family's situation.
One's own circumstances may not be the main reason, but they can certainly push people into a dead end.
"What does this have to do with our family?" Jiang Nuan looked at her son strangely. "Why would you think that?"
"If it weren't for our family, Auntie Laisheng might still be doing well."
“What makes you say that?” Jiang Nuan shook her head. “Whether it’s supporting her family or letting a wolf into the house, it was all her own doing. Nobody encouraged her. Of course, if it were just these things, she wouldn’t be so despised. She’s done so many stupid things and still doesn’t know how to repent. What can we do?”
Of course, Huang Laisheng also bears a great deal of responsibility. If he hadn't indulged his wife, Tie would not have become increasingly demanding.
Having already been emboldened, they still wanted to stop their actions at the last minute. How could the Tie family, who had already tasted the benefits, possibly accept this?
"It really has nothing to do with our family?"
Although Jiang Nuan's words made a lot of sense and Huang Laoda couldn't find any rebuttal, he still had some doubts.
I always felt that if my family were like before, and my uncle hadn't become the clan leader, the Tie family would still be doing well.
As for what the difference was, he couldn't figure it out.
This was just a fleeting thought; at this moment, he was not yet able to fully comprehend it.
"No!" Jiang Nuan's voice was unwavering.
"Mother, if our family is still as poor and destitute as before, what will happen if something like what happened last time occurs again?"
“If our family were the same as before, what happened last time would never have happened,” Jiang Nuan shrugged. “In that respect, it does have a connection.”
"What if our family was like the eldest son's?"
“That won’t happen,” Jiang Nuan replied to her son after a long silence. “If you only have money but no status, you’re no different from a fat sheep in a wolf pack. If our family is in trouble, the villagers will think about how to take advantage of the situation, not how to seek justice. The village’s attention will not be on your Aunt Laisheng.”
“Even if we don’t focus our attention on her, Uncle Laisheng won’t pretend nothing happened.”
“That’s not necessarily true,” Jiang Nuan’s tone became distant. “A couple’s life together isn’t like that of newlyweds. They’ve been together for decades. Who doesn’t know the other?”
"Mother, according to you, how could Uncle Laisheng bear to treat his wife like this?"
“For the sake of the children,” Jiang Nuan patted her son’s shoulder, “our family is now worlds apart from what it used to be, and your Uncle Laisheng wouldn’t dare offend us.”
People who only have money but no status are easily exploited, while those who only have status but no money will only make people wary. Only those who have both will be fawned over and worshipped.
In the past, the second wife's status was not bad, and people still gossiped about her. Try it now, even if you do something even worse than before, the villagers dare not speak out, at most they will grumble a few words in private.
“So,” Huang the eldest said with difficulty, “the Tie family, including Aunt Laisheng, were punished not because of any justice, but because our family’s status has been elevated?”
“Fairness only accounts for a part; there is also a weighing of pros and cons,” Jiang Nuan did not hide her thoughts. “Remember this: most of the fairness in the world is earned by oneself, rather than relying on the awakening of other people’s conscience.”
As she spoke, Jiang Nuan patted her son's shoulder with satisfaction, "Mom is very happy that you could think of these things."
Of her three sons, the youngest and fourth were more clever. As for the eldest and second eldest, Jiang Nuan didn't have high hopes; she only hoped they would live a peaceful and stable life.
But today, her eldest son gave her a surprise.
