Han Yunqi glanced at her and saw her winking and making faces. He knew she had something to say to Tang Yuanshan, so he didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and left first.
After Han Yunqi walked away, Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Yuanshan, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Uncle, why did you always fight with Ruge's mother and the others before?"
"..." Caught off guard by such a question from a junior, the old rogue was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Well, I was just... angry. None of those women were decent!"
Tang Xiaoxiao blinked. The reason she asked so directly was because she had been in a lot of contact with Tang Yuanshan since her rebirth. Tang Yuanshan was a bit of a rascal and didn't act like an elder. The two of them were more like friends of the same generation.
So she didn't try to hide it.
When she was little, she once witnessed Tang Yuanshan hitting his second wife, who was Tang Rugo's aunt.
She and Tang Rugo, two little girls, skipped and hopped into Tang Yuanshan's yard. They heard a series of crashes and bangs from inside the house, and then they heard a woman's shouts.
Tang Rugo shouted "Dad!" and Tang Yuanshan came out of the room shortly after, with a bloody mark on his face, clearly scratched by a woman's sharp fingernails. When he saw Tang Xiaoxiao there, he could still smile at her as if nothing had happened: "Xiaoxiao's here. You and Rugo go out and play first. Uncle has something to do at home, be good..." Before he could finish speaking, Tang Rugo's aunt chased after him from the house and grabbed Tang Yuanshan's hair, pulling it hard.
The scene was so beautiful that it left a deep and lasting impression on Tang Xiaoxiao's childhood memories.
Judging from the fact that Tang Yuanshan only laid hands on those few women but never hit the children, he is clearly not the kind of domestic abuser who loses control and becomes irrational when he loses his temper.
"If I have a few drinks and gamble a couple of rounds, they start nagging me when I get home. If I ignore them, they escalate it even further, smashing things and breaking everything in the house. It's all money, isn't it? Do you think it's easy for me to make money?!"
"The house is unkempt, the kids are crying from hunger, and when I come home in the middle of the night, I can't even get a warm bed to sleep on. What's the point of keeping them if I don't beat them?" Tang Yuanshan felt more and more justified as he spoke, his eyes bulging.
"He even called me a good-for-nothing and cursed me to end up in jail and get shot sooner or later..."
Tang Xiaoxiao...
That sounds pretty outrageous.
But what they said was all true.
He's idle, unambitious, and often out partying and staying out all night... Any woman would find it hard to tolerate and remain silent if she had a man like that.
Given how pathetic you used to be, you should be grateful if any woman would be willing to spend her life with you.
They'll even take care of the housework and kids for you, so you can sleep on a warm bed as soon as you get home. You wish!
"So you still plan to treat Sun Zhaodi like this in the future?"
"How could I! Zhao Di is so good! She's hardworking and sensible, how could I bear to hit her!" Tang Yuanshan retorted loudly.
"What if she nags you too, and doesn't clean the house or cook for you?"
"Impossible! She won't let me into bed if I don't wash my feet at night. She's so clean, how could she not tidy up the house?" Tang Yuanshan understood what Tang Xiaoxiao wanted to ask and said directly, "Niece, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I'm getting old and can't play around like this anymore! At this age, I know how to cherish the blessing of finding such a good woman!"
