Gu Nanzhi was taken aback. "What does Tang Anning want with you?"
Ning Suihuan thought for a moment and then said, "Mom, my sister-in-law told me that my brother beats her at home."
"She also showed me the injuries on her body."
"It looks pretty serious."
Gu Nanzhi was shocked after hearing her daughter's words. "Your older brother actually hit someone?"
Ning Yifei has always had a mild personality and usually looks very polite, so how could he possibly hit someone?
"Do you know where they live now?" Gu Nanzhi was still a little worried about her eldest son's situation.
Although they had broken off their relationship, Ning Yifei was still her son, whom she had carried for ten months and given birth to. She couldn't just stand by and watch him be ruined by a woman.
"I know."
Ning Suihuan gave Gu Nanzhi a string of addresses.
"Suihuan, you don't need to worry about your elder brother and sister-in-law's affairs."
"I'll go there tomorrow, and don't let your dad know about this."
"Uh-huh."
Gu Nanzhi, who was originally overjoyed about her second daughter-in-law's pregnancy, is now completely unable to smile.
She couldn't accept that her son would hit a woman.
The next day, Gu Nanzhi secretly went to see Ning Yifei.
Ning Yifei was about to leave for work when he saw his mother standing there, looking surprised.
"Mom, what brings you here?"
Gu Nanzhi walked over and said, "Let's talk as we walk."
After the two walked a little further away, Gu Nanzhi spoke again, "Did you hit your wife?"
Ning Yifei was taken aback. "She went to tell on me?"
Gu Nanzhi gave her son a deep look; he had admitted it.
“Back then, your father and I asked you to divorce that woman, but you refused and even chose to move out of this place with her.”
"You said you were a responsible man for moving out, but now you've become a man who beats his wife?"
Ning Zhiyuan fell silent when his mother asked him that question.
Because it is a fact, he cannot refute it.
Gu Nanzhi said disappointedly, "At first we wanted to train you to join the army, but you can't endure hardship and you don't have the talent."
"We have no choice but to abandon the idea of having you join the army."
"You don't know, your dad didn't sleep a wink that night when he decided to give up on you."
“He was thinking about passing the family business down to his son, and he wanted the eldest son to be in charge. He didn’t want you to have any chance to complain about us in the future.”
Ning Yifei was completely unaware of these things; he thought he was just an insignificant nobody in his father's eyes.
He knew he wasn't as outstanding as his second brother, so he didn't dare to try to achieve anything.
He had felt resentment and jealousy, but he suppressed them with reason.
Over the long years, he has long since smoothed out the rough edges of those unsavory thoughts.
He accepted his mediocrity and that he was not his parents' best child.
He was willing to move out because he wanted to get rid of the Ning family's influence on him. He didn't want people who approached him to be nice to him just because he was a member of the Ning family. He didn't want to live under the Ning family's protective shield forever.
He was struggling; he wanted to do something on his own to prove that he could survive even without the Ning family.
But hearing his mother's words today still moved him.
Gu Nanzhi continued, "Since you don't have the talent for military service, we thought of having you enter politics."
"We'll pull strings and build connections for you to find a job in a government agency so you can live a life of comfort."
"However, your performance has been mediocre, and we are too ashamed to ask anyone to promote you..."
