She couldn't bear to truly give up on her son.
The remaining small part of the reason was her own uncertainty about the future. Having been with Li Shuai since she was a teenager, she still didn't know what would happen if she really left him, and she no longer had the courage to take a new step.
So she eventually returned to the home she had always viewed as a monster, a place where she felt no warmth whatsoever.
Even if some people think she's not strong enough, she can't blame others for not being able to stand up for herself.
But unless you truly put yourself in someone else's shoes, how can anyone understand another person's difficulties?
To paraphrase something she once said to Tang Xiaoxiao, "Life is steeped in bitterness; what can you do but endure it? It's all fate."
Tang Xiaoxiao used to think it was all fate.
Otherwise, why would her perfectly good marriage be ruined by the unexpected death of Han's father, forcing her to live under the same roof as Guo Mingli?
But after being reborn, she no longer believed it.
Fate is not unchangeable.
Her and Han Yunqi's fates, her parents' fates, her sister's fates, have all changed, haven't they?
Huang Jiaojiao is a girl who evokes a lot of sympathy.
If she could, Tang Xiaoxiao would like to lend her a hand.
......
After the opening banquet, Tang Xiaoxiao said to Han Yunqi, "Do you know where Huang Jiaojiao lives? I want to go see her."
Han Yunqi was a little surprised to hear this, but he didn't think much of it. He assumed that Tang Xiaoxiao was doing it for his sake. Li Shuai was his best friend, and it wasn't unreasonable for Tang Xiaoxiao to help persuade the couple who were having marital problems.
Thinking to himself, "My wife is such a kind little fairy," Han Yunqi readily drove Tang Xiaoxiao to Huang Jiaojiao's house.
Huang Jiaojiao's family lives in the countryside in two somewhat dilapidated brick and tile houses, which really don't look very nice.
When she was dating Li Shuai, Li Shuai's parents were very dissatisfied. They felt that Huang Jiaojiao's family was too poor, her parents did not have jobs, and they would not even have a pension when they got old, so she was a burden.
However, Li Shuai and Han Jiaojiao's love was stronger than gold and they were very persistent. Later, Han Jiaojiao became pregnant out of wedlock, and Li Shuai's parents, who wanted to have a grandson, reluctantly gave in and held a wedding for the two.
Perhaps that's why Li Shuai's mother looked down on Huang Jiaojiao, her daughter-in-law, thinking that she was someone who had married into the family and that she didn't care how she was treated.
......
Huang Jiaojiao was sitting on the yellowish earthen bed at home, lost in thought.
A faint red mark could still be seen on her face. Li Shuai's strength was considerable; even though he felt he hadn't used much force, the slap on Huang Jiaojiao's face was still quite forceful.
Her mother sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), swaying and muttering to herself. When Han Yunqi parked the car in front of her house and helped Tang Xiaoxiao into the yard, Huang Jiaojiao heard the noise, looked up, and saw the two of them.
Her eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant. How could she not know about Li Shuai's bad habits? He always liked to talk about things that happened in the family, and he didn't even understand the principle that family scandals should not be aired in public.
Li Shuai's close friends must all know about their argument last night.
But since she and Han Yunqi were old classmates, she couldn't just show her displeasure, so she got up and went out to greet him.
He immediately said to Han Yunqi, "There's no need for you to plead for Li Shuai. I'm planning to divorce him tomorrow."
