Not to mention Ning Ailin, even Song Lianfeng was shocked by Li Meilan's bizarre idea.
The two of them stared wide-eyed at Li Meilan with disbelief. "Really?"
Li Meilan pursed her lips. "Who knows? Isn't that how it's always said in plays? When a rich family acknowledges their son, they can't say anything else, so they can only come up with this excuse."
Whether it is or not, that's no longer important. The key question is, how are you going to live your life from now on? Have you thought it through? Will you find someone else or stay alone?
Ning Ailin sighed, "I'm not considering this for now. To be honest, I don't know how I've survived all these years. There are some things I don't dare to tell my family."
My mother and the others didn't approve of this marriage in the first place, and now that my marriage has turned out like this, I have to swallow my bitterness myself.
It's a pity that none of those children stayed with me. It makes me sad to think about it. Over the years, I've put in so much effort to raise them.
My mother-in-law is biased, and I, as her daughter-in-law, don't get the upper hand. Even the children in the family aren't valued. What can I do? I can only exploit my own family. Unfortunately, in the end, I, as the mother, am the one who's disliked by both sides.
Song Lianfeng patted Ning Ailin's arm and said, "Alright, why think so much? If you don't want to go, then don't go. What will you do when you come back? Everything costs money."
Although the child is grown up and you don't need to take care of them as much, growing up also brings big worries. Do they want a house or money for marriage? You haven't figured that out yet.
Let the Wang family worry about this. Since they are reluctant to part with their child, they should take full responsibility.
Don't be so silly. Save more money for yourself and treat yourself better. Look at her, what a wonderful girl she was back then. And look at you now, what have you become?
The children didn't understand what was going on at first, but they will understand later.
With Song Lianfeng and the other woman by her side, Ning Ailin was able to let go of a lot of things. She felt that divorce was a shameful thing, and in other people's eyes, they were all happy for her that she had escaped her misery as soon as possible.
Gu Zhengfeng, who was taking Jiang Qiao and the others back, was also quite curious about the Wang family's affairs. He had heard his daughter and Qiao Jie talk about Ning Ailin's matter back then, but he never expected that the couple, who had been fighting for almost half their lives, would suddenly think of getting a divorce. It didn't make sense.
Jiang Qiao didn't ask because she simply didn't care. If Ning Ailin weren't Ning Hao's aunt, she wouldn't care who she was.
But Gu Zhengfeng is different. After all, this is his daughter's in-laws' family. Ning Ailin will have to live with the old couple in the future. Before, the Ning family almost fought over the house. Now that Ning Ailin is back, who knows what will happen in the future?
Gu Zhengfeng, as a father, knows his child's personality well. If the child doesn't care about a person or thing, it's because he doesn't care to the end and is too lazy to waste his energy.
However, marriage is not just about living your own life; it involves your husband's family and their affairs. It's not something you can simply ignore if you don't want to get involved. After all, when you live in the secular world, you are often not in control of your own destiny.
"Haozi, what's wrong with your uncle? It's not normal for him to want a divorce at such an old age."
What exactly happened in between? Your grandfather's affairs have little to do with your aunt's family. You know married daughters aren't implicated.
Ning Hao had indeed asked around about this matter. As for the things the Wang family and Ning Ailin said, they were all lies. The claim that their old man had saved someone and that the person had come to repay the debt was utter nonsense.
Wang Zhongquan wasn't originally a child of the Wang family; it's likely that the old lady had an affair and conceived this thing.
This one sentence shocked Jiang Qiao: "Ah, that old lady?"
Ning Hao chuckled twice. "Don't look down on Old Mrs. Wang now. When she was young, she was quite presentable."
When her husband was young, he went out to work, and she stayed at home alone to take care of the children. After a while, she couldn't stand the loneliness anymore, so she started a relationship with another man.
Later, I heard that the man ran away, and no one knew where he went. After all these years, I never expected that he would actually come looking for me.
If I hadn't found the right person, most people wouldn't know about this. The fact that these two were having an affair meant that this old man secretly witnessed it.
Qiao Jie was surprised. "My God, how could such a thing happen? This woman is really bold. She not only had an affair, but she even gave birth to a child."
What does it mean to bring this person back? Do they know about the child, or is there something else?
Ning Hao snorted. "I haven't investigated what this man went through back then, but he's doing quite well now, a leader of some rank. It's a great regret in his life that he doesn't have anyone in his family to inherit his household registration."
So, he thought of his old friend, and now he's planning to acknowledge her as his son. However, he doesn't know what the old lady said to the other party, so for now, he hasn't openly revealed this idea. He's only saying the same thing as before.
My aunt's situation was probably caused by this, which led the other party to decide to divorce. In addition, the young widow was pressuring them, and with both sides exerting pressure, well, they got divorced.
Actually, I think my aunt has a lot of good days ahead of her after leaving this man, but the problem is whether she can accept it.
Gu Zhengfeng nodded knowingly. "I see. That's good. From now on, everyone will have their own lives and won't interfere with each other. That's good too. Your aunt has jumped out of the fire pit."
Jiang Qiao then asked in confusion, "Where is that man, and what is his identity?"
Ning Hao chuckled. "What's wrong? You don't think the other party is an enemy agent, do you? I've spoken with Chen Fang about this, and they'll be keeping an eye on this person for now. As for whether they are, I don't know."
Jiang Qiao pursed her lips. "Making such a mistake when he was young, and then doing something like this when he's old, I think this man's character and treatment are questionable."
Hopefully, the other person isn't a bad person; otherwise, your cousins will be in deep trouble, and your aunt will probably be even more heartbroken.
Qiao Jie said, "Those few kids are worse than none at all. What good are biological children? They're not as good as my granddaughter whom I picked up along the way. Sigh, Ning Ailin's life is really miserable."
Ning Hao sighed. What could he say? He couldn't offer any comment.
"Life used to be bitter, but once you leave those people behind, it should be sweet."
Jiang Qiao patted Ning Hao's arm and said, "Don't worry, as long as we have food to eat, we won't be short of food for your aunt. After all, you're her nephew. We probably can't count on those people anyway. Everyone should do their own thing."
It's not that I particularly like your aunt, but she is, after all, your grandparents' own daughter, the Ning family's aunt. You should keep this to yourself.
