Upon hearing these words, Boss Huang's heart sank to the bottom.
He felt abandoned, abandoned by his closest family members.
She pursed her lips, lowered her head deeply, and tried to shrink herself away to minimize her presence.
My mind was in turmoil when I suddenly heard a voice, "What are you thinking right now?"
What are your thoughts?
Old Master Huang was stumped by this question.
After a moment's thought, he shook his head in confusion, "Doesn't my son have any ideas?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan clenched her fists tightly, trying to calm herself down. After calming her anger, she asked in a deep voice, "What kind of show are you going to put on today?"
Jiang Nuan was puzzled by her son's sudden apology, wondering what had happened and what he was planning to do.
After thinking for a moment, Huang Laoda replied seriously, "First, I'll apologize to Mother, then find a job to support the family and take good care of Da Niu and the other two."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan's expression softened considerably.
The fact that they can think of these things means they're not completely hopeless; at least they know to consider the child's well-being.
"What about your wife?" the old woman asked, becoming alert. "I will absolutely not let her come back."
She will absolutely not back down on this point.
The kind of person I find most annoying—someone who is always making a fuss—is nonetheless the Wang family.
"Grandma misunderstood. Her grandson never intended for her to come home."
"So," Jiang Nuan said dismissively, "what are you going to do with her?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Huang looked somewhat confused.
He hadn't thought about these things yet; he was only thinking about never living with Wang again, and he hadn't thought about anything further ahead.
After a long silence, he finally spoke in a muffled voice, "I will divorce her."
“It should have been done a long time ago,” the old lady said angrily. “I told you long ago that she was never a docile person, but you always protected her. Now she finally understands.”
The old lady suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that her grandson would remain stubborn and distance himself from his own child for the sake of his wife.
“Grandma, I’ve known this for a long time,” Old Huang said with a bitter expression, “but I just didn’t dare to admit it.”
Although what the second brother said was harsh, it wasn't wrong; he was simply running away.
He had sensed the changes in his wife while she was recuperating in town, but he kept deceiving himself, always feeling...
With a sigh, Old Huang felt increasingly bitter and regretful.
"Too late," Jiang Nuan scoffed lightly. "Things in this world don't always go the way you want them to."
"What's the meaning?"
"First, settle Wang Shi out there, and then get Da Niu and the others' forgiveness. Only if you do these two things will I consider letting you come back."
Jiang Nuan didn't mean to make things difficult for her son; she just wanted to teach him a lesson.
This son received the most lessons but learned the least. He felt that as the eldest son, he should be in charge and acted willfully, refusing to listen to any advice.
This kind of awkward personality is really a headache.
She didn't have time to make mistakes and then try to fix them again, and she couldn't just throw away her own flesh and blood, so she decided to leave a thorn in his heart.
Once you experience pain, you'll understand what you can and cannot do.
Hearing this, the old lady became very anxious. "Yaya, what do you mean? Why don't you let them get a divorce? Wang Shi is a rotten apple in our house and has been disturbing our peace and quiet. It would be better to just kick her out."
“In the past, when Wang made mistakes, there was nothing to criticize about what we did, since we were in the right. But now, so much time has passed, and she is in poor health. If we ask the two of them to divorce now, what will others think?”
People tend to favor the weak. Once the opportunity is missed, it's not so easy to do anything else.
The old lady felt sorry for her grandson. "What should we do now? Should we let Dachuan continue to live with him on the mountain?"
"Mom, don't ask so many questions. It has nothing to do with us. Let Dachuan make his own decision. He's an adult and he has to take responsibility for himself."
"But……"
"No buts. He's not a child. He knows what he wants."
Hearing this, Huang Chuan felt as if he had swallowed bitter herbs. "Mother, I understand."
Although he had thought that he wouldn't be easily accepted when he came down the mountain, Huang Chuan still found it hard to accept the outcome.
One wrong step leads to another, and even if you want to turn back, it's hard to go back to the way things were.
After pursing his lips and kneeling earnestly before Jiang Nuan, Huang Chuan left dejectedly.
The old lady was still worried about her grandson and couldn't help but complain, "Look at you, why do you have to make things difficult for the child? It would be so much better if the two of them got divorced. They wouldn't have to suffer anymore, and Da Chuan wouldn't be alienated from us."
“He walked his own path,” Jiang Nuan said dismissively. “It would have been better to leave Wang Shi in town and let her cool off. In less than two years, she would have realized her own limitations. The eldest son insisted on protecting her, which made things worse. Now he regrets it and is thinking about his family and his future. Does he really think everyone is without temper?”
"Why are you so temperamental? You're a grandmother now, and you're still arguing with your own child?"
“It’s not a matter of whether we care or not, we absolutely cannot tolerate this,” Jiang Nuan paused, then said hesitantly, “Let me put it this way, I think he’s similar to Huang Shan.”
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Huang choked.
I had originally wanted to offer some advice, but now I'm too afraid to say anything more.
After a long while, he muttered to himself, "Oh well, it's good for boys to get some experience. They're young anyway, and the more they get hurt, the tougher they'll become."
With that, he sighed softly and left.
She simply didn't want to deal with this anymore.
Seeing this, Jiang Nuan laughed helplessly, "It seems that the old lady was really frightened by Huangshan."
On the mountain.
It was already dark when they returned from Huangshan, and Wang was getting a little anxious.
"Husband, where have you been? Why are you only coming back now?"
Although she hadn't seen any wild animals recently, the constant roars from the mountains still made her worry that she might end up in their bellies at any moment.
"Something came up, and I was delayed for a while."
"Come back earlier next time, it's too scary up in the mountain. I'm hungry, let's go cook."
"Um!"
Whether it was because of what happened that morning or not, Wang felt that her husband was acting strangely.
She rarely carries a stool to sit in the kitchen, saying, "Husband, let me help you start the fire."
"Huh?" Huang Chuan asked, somewhat surprised. "Are you sure?"
This is probably the first time since I came up the mountain.
"My husband usually works very hard," Wang said with a slightly guilty laugh, trying to cover it up. "I also need to do more work."
Upon hearing this, Huang Chuan remained noncommittal.
After a silent dinner, Huang Chuan washed the pots and pans as usual, then moved a stool and sat down in the yard, facing the moon.
"My lord."
"What's up?"
Huang Chuan's expression was calm, and his tone was also unperturbed.
"Another piece of clothing is ruined; there are hardly any clothes left without patches."
"so what?"
After hesitating for a moment, Wang asked, "When are we going down the mountain?"
She felt she had stayed long enough; this lonely and austere life was tormenting her every day, and she knew she would go crazy if it continued.
"You want to go down the mountain?"
"Of course I want to, but life on the mountain is too difficult. Even getting water requires walking a mile to fetch it. Don't you want to come down the mountain, my husband?"
