Li Lanhua aged decades in an instant, her body half-buried in the earth, her breath shallow and frail, as if she were about to be taken away by the King of Hell at any moment. Li Tianfu alone wouldn't have dealt Li Lanhua such a heavy blow; the years of conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had exhausted most of Li Lanhua's energy. At an age when she should have been taking care of her health, Li Lanhua had defied the grain. Her aging and weakness were to be expected.
The Zhang Xiaoxiao incident has spread her reputation as a wicked mother-in-law throughout the surrounding villages, even affecting her son's marriage prospects. Now, with Li Tianfu's latest outburst, the Wang family's reputation is completely ruined.
"If only I had treated Zhang Xiaoxiao better back then," Li Lanhua lamented, remembering how kind Zhang Xiaoxiao had been.
For the past three years, Wang Da'an has been caught in the middle, torn between his wife and mother. He ignores his mother's attempts to make things difficult for his wife, feels powerless to stop her growing distant, and resents others' lack of understanding of his filial piety. He simply wants to be a good son, so why is this simple thing so repeatedly thwarted?
Wang Da'an was exhausted.
After Li Lanhua fell asleep, Wang Da'an made up his mind to find Zhang Xiaoxiao. Only through comparison can one highlight something; compared to Zhou Xue, Zhang Xiaoxiao was like a well-educated and sensible celestial being.
Wang Da'an thought to himself, "A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold. If Xiao Xiao knew that I still love her and that I would protect her in the future, she would definitely come back to my side."
Ideas are always beautiful, but reality always delivers a harsh blow.
"Xiaoxiao, come back with me, I love you." Wang Da'an knelt in front of Ji Xiaoxiao, begging her to come back with him.
Ji Xiaoxiao exerted a great deal of effort, suppressing the strong urge to kick Wang Da'an to death, and exhausted the last bit of patience. She spoke clearly and distinctly, word by word, "Little brother, be good. You're still young and don't understand what love is. Your sister doesn't have any candy. Go home and ask your mother for some milk."
