Huo Xueshen hurriedly looked around the yard, and when he saw the water vat, he ran over, wet the handkerchief, and then rushed back, saying, "Here, it's wet."
Tian Huanyan took the handkerchief without hesitation, carefully wiped it clean, and then returned it to Huo Xueshen before turning to Tian Wenxiu, "Your husband doesn't know who my son is, so you can help him find out."
Xie Songqing turned his gaze to Tian Wenxiu, who dared not utter a word.
Her silence doesn't mean Xie Songqing doesn't understand.
After a moment's thought, he guessed who Tian Huanyan's "son" was and blurted out, "Fu Shen is your son?"
Tian Huanyan looked coldly at Xie Songqing, secretly lamenting how unlucky he was to have married such a selfish woman as Tian Wenxiu, and in the end, he even lost his job.
She said, "That's right. It was Tian Wenxiu who told her father, Tian Jianshan, that made Tian Jianshan steal my son and throw him away, causing my son and me to be separated for more than 30 years. I haven't been able to see him even once since."
"You just asked me why I pushed her, now you know why, right? If murder weren't illegal, what do you think I would do? But..."
She paused deliberately, staring at Tian Wenxiu with eyes as sharp as knives, and slowly said, "The evidence can't directly point to you, but there's someone who can convict you."
Tian Wenxiu instantly understood Tian Huanyan's meaning; she was trying to send her father to prison.
Thinking about her father's old age and her two younger brothers' imprisonment, she realized that if her father were to go in too, her family would truly be unable to hold their heads high in front of their neighbors.
Thinking about it, she quickly said, "No."
Tian Huanyan's lips curled into a cold smile: "No? Then you can go in in his place."
Tian Wenxiu opened her mouth, but ultimately lowered her head and remained silent.
Tian Huanyan glanced at her disdainfully: "Hypocritical Tian Daxiu, you don't deserve the name my dad gave you. In the future, when people ask what your name is, remember to change it to Tian Daxiu."
After saying that, she turned to look at Huo Xueshen standing to the side and said decisively, "Let's go."
Huo Xueshen obediently followed behind Tian Huanyan. After they had walked some distance from Tian Wenxiu's house, he looked at Tian Huanyan's back and asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Are you hungry? How about we eat something before we go find Tian Jianshan?"
Actually, it was his own stomach that was growling with hunger. The food on the train was hard to swallow, and he had been starving for a long time. He had only managed to endure it until now.
Before being sent down to the countryside, I was working on a project at the research base. I could barely bear it when it was time to eat. But after I came back, my stomach became fragile. If I didn't eat at mealtimes, I would experience cramps.
Upon hearing this, Tian Huanyan slowly turned around, staring directly at Huo Xueshen, but remained silent.
Feeling a little guilty after being looked at like that, Huo Xueshen quickly said, "Never mind, we haven't gotten justice for our son yet. We can eat later."
Tian Huanyan sighed inwardly, looking at Huo Xueshen with a complicated expression in her eyes.
She wasn't blaming him for wanting to eat; rather, she was just realizing that noon had long passed and neither of them had eaten yet.
The man in front of her, after all these years, is still the same as before, always going along with her, even though he is starving and suffering from hunger.
How could she not understand that researchers often forget to eat when they get busy, and their stomachs can't take it if this continues for a long time?
She said, "Let's go eat first. As for Tian Jianshan's matter, we can just go to the police station to report it."
As a mother, how could she easily let go of Tian Jianshan, the human trafficker who harmed her son, after her son had suffered so much in his childhood?
After Xie Songqing helped Tian Wenxiu up from the ground, he ignored her and went into the house to continue eating.
He was filled with frustration. There was no point in reasoning with such an unreasonable person. He also couldn't understand why he had dated her when he was young.
Even though I know she can be selfish at times, I always deceive myself and think it's normal for women to be a little petty.
In retrospect, he was terribly wrong.
