Although they weren't born to the same mother, Tang Rugo took good care of her younger sisters. Fortunately, the two girls listened to their older sister and refused to study properly. Tang Rugo had no choice but to arrange jobs for them, and they did them obediently without causing any trouble.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't interfere in any of this. She took care of Tang Yuanshan and Tang Rugo back then out of consideration for her family.
Tang Yuanshan and his father have many ties. Tang's father paid off Tang Yuanshan's gambling debts many years ago, which was equivalent to saving his life. In his previous life, Tang Yuanshan happened to be there when his father fell ill and took him to the hospital in time.
Therefore, Tang Xiaoxiao was willing to treat Tang Yuanshan with the same respect and filial piety as an elder in her family.
Tang Rugo was Tang Xiaoxiao's childhood playmate. Tang Xiaoxiao didn't have many friends, and even fewer that she truly cared about.
Tang Rugo is one of them.
As for her younger sisters, they were merely distant relatives of Tang Xiaoxiao, with no real affection between them. It was impossible for Tang Xiaoxiao to take care of them all.
Compared to the good news from Tang Rugo's side, another piece of news was quite regrettable.
Han Yunlong did eventually divorce Tan Lanlan, but the process was not pleasant and even escalated to the point of litigation.
After causing a scene at Grandpa Han's house on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tan Lanlan returned to her hometown. Han Yunlong had no idea where his wife lived. He inquired with several old classmates and even went back to the university to ask his former counselor for his marriage certificate with Tan Lanlan before finally finding Tan Lanlan's home address in the school's records.
Then came the relentless pursuit of his wife across thousands of miles.
Tan Lanlan was startled when she saw Han Yunlong, who looked travel-worn, in her hometown. Although she was surprised, she assumed Han Yunlong had come to take her home and was even trying to act all high and mighty. However, she never expected Han Yunlong to directly ask her for a divorce.
Tan Lanlan naturally refused to agree, but after half a year of calm and the guidance of Han Shigang and Liu Xuemei, Han Yunlong finally realized how foolish he had been. Moreover, the Han family had suffered such a big tragedy, with Grandpa Han passing away and Grandma Han paralyzed. Under these circumstances, Tan Lanlan, the granddaughter-in-law, had not even shown her face. The Han family was unwilling to accept her under any circumstances.
After his heartbreak, Han Yunlong realized he had loved the wrong person and finally listened to his parents, deciding to get a divorce.
If Han Yunlong had hesitated slightly before meeting Tan Lanlan, that hesitation completely disappeared once he stood at Tan Lanlan's door and saw the situation in her home.
Although the Tan family lived in a rural area and didn't appear wealthy—just three mud-brick houses with chickens and ducks in the yard, a very ordinary farmhouse—they weren't particularly dilapidated, and were no different from most other families in the village.
What Han Yunlong found most unacceptable was that Tan Lanlan's parents, his in-laws whom he had never met, although they inevitably looked weathered from years of hard work, were clearly in good health without any problems.
They looked even healthier and more energetic than Han Yunlong's own parents.
This is the elderly father that Tan Lanlan mentioned who is bedridden and needs money to save his life.
What about pneumonia? What about the leg injury?
Faced with Han Yunlong's questioning, Tan Lanlan stubbornly retorted, "Can't a disease be cured? Are you cursing my dad to never recover?"
Faced with Tan Lanlan's unreasonable behavior again, Han Yunlong, who had always given in before, did not make a mistake this time. After Tan Lanlan refused to agree to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him to agree to a divorce, he did not linger at Tan's house. In such remote villages, people stick together and the whole village will come to help if one family is in trouble. If he makes a scene here, he will not get a good result. Although Han Yunlong is a bit love-struck, he is not stupid.
