Lin Wan clapped her hands in delight. "Even if those two get together, they shouldn’t have it easy. People with any sense will figure out what’s going on. When the ti cos, I’ll find a chance to take a few pictures of his son. They’ve just gotten divorced, and the son is already so big. It’s quite suggestive. At that point, i Langchi’s image as a scoundrel will be completely revealed to everyone. Let’s see how he can show his face," Lin Wan said enthusiastically. She paused and added, "By the way, will this kind of thing affect his career?"
"Personal issues are blemishes for soone like him."
"That’s good." Initially, she was thinking of letting Ye Qing eat old als for a few days. If possible, that’d be great, but she feared not being able to prevent i Langchi from having his way.
However, with Wei Xue around, Ye Qing wouldn’t have an easy ti either.
Which is also fine, once i Langchi and Ye Qing get married, she’ll give them a big gift. Let’s see if Ye Qing can still show off then.
"Stop thinking about these things. The i Family’s connections are vast and not sothing that can be taken down overnight. We’ll just wait for the right opportunity to strike him down."
Lin Wan squatted beside Han Yi, feeling a mont of pity for i Langchi. With Ye Qing having set her sights on him, there was no escaping. In this lifeti, he is destined to be beaten down by marriage. Soday, he’s bound to regret it.
In this respect, Lin Wan, as a bystander, was witnessing things at the "speed" of light.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. Wife, co quickly and help with a bath," Han Yi said, raising his hand and playfully pinching her cheek. But Lin Wan, in no good mood, slapped it away with a smack, "Rogue..."
Han Yi didn’t say anything either, just sat in the wheelchair, smiling broadly!
anwhile, Liang Hongi and her husband had just returned from their son’s small courtyard. Their son and daughter had grown up, each with their own ideas. Nowadays, they didn’t want to consult her before doing things—secretly registering a marriage certificate, secretly buying a house.
Looking at her son’s caring attitude towards Qingqing, Liang Hongi felt a burst of sadness and helplessness.
"Once they’re grown, they won’t stay. Nannan, I’m still by your side."
"I’m just briefly sad. Thinking about the past, when the two kids were little, it was so stress-free. Ah Hui was always so considerate. In the blink of an eye, each has started a family."
"Nannan, thank you for raising the kids so well all these years. I’m really sorry, Lin Guozhi. I’ve let you down."
"Sigh, the toughest tis have passed. Life has gotten better in recent years, and I’ve almost forgotten about the past hardships, except for the vivid mory of being closely watched by Li Fugui during those years. I didn’t dare leave the house. Every ti I went to the fields, I had to have soone with . Sotis Li Fugui would deliberately leave alone, but Ah Hui was older and knew to protect Mom, so often it was him who followed ... Oh, you don’t know what those days were like for ." Liang Hongi’s eyes couldn’t help but teared up at the thought of the past.
Lin Guozhi hurriedly embraced her, comforting her. Although he didn’t know the details, he knew how hard it had been for his wife over the years, a woman nurturing a family on ager rations.
If there had been any labor force in the family, his mother-in-law wouldn’t have starved to death like that. If he had been there, even a hundred Li Fugui wouldn’t have dared ss with his father-in-law.
Thinking of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lin Guozhi felt a deep sense of pain and powerlessness.
"Later, Li Fugui’s wife kept a tight rein on him, and things got better. As the children grew up gradually, they learned from two outside professors. Unexpectedly, as the college entrance exams approached, I knew the two kids had good grades, and the exams wouldn’t be a problem, but I feared gossip from the villagers, so I held them back for a year before letting them take it. I initially thought that Xiao Wan wasn’t as diligent as her brother, and she wouldn’t pass the exams, which would be ideal for us—support one child first and let the other wait a couple of years. After all, Xiao Wan was still young. But who knew both kids would pass. The school didn’t charge tuition, but the monthly living expenses were considerable. It truly stressed out back then. I went to the town to do laundry for the hospital, and in the evenings, I went with the kids to the mountains to gather wild ingredients, and at night, under the cover of darkness, I’d creep up to houses in the town and knock on doors, selling the goods for so cash.
However, distant water couldn’t quench imdiate thirst. After a month of toil, I wasn’t able to save enough for even one person’s living expenses. I thought of letting Xiao Wan wait for two years, but she was so headstrong, she directly took the family money and left ho. It scared terribly at that ti. I took Ah Hui and my older brother, and we searched every nearby village. We finally found her in the neighboring town. I was brimming with anger initially, ready to give her a beating with Ah Hui at my side, but when I saw the child, my heart softened. It was my incompetence that’s to bla, not the child. Moreover, the girl hadn’t acted recklessly; she’d taken the money to start a business and earned money herself, thoughtfully willing to forego college so her brother could go first. Such sensible children—they made cry in relief at the ti. After this incident, my daughter grew up quite a bit overnight. Both children urged to start a business. Indeed, doing business is a fast way to earn money. What I made in a day was equivalent to what I’d earn from doing laundry for a month. Back then, the villagers looked down on us, staying far away once they heard we started doing business. Later... Xiao Wan didn’t trust Ah Hui, so we followed him to S City. At first, we opened a small clay pot restaurant in District Jun, and the business bood. The children started dabbling in other ventures. I knew they’d been terrified of poverty, especially Xiao Wan, constantly figuring out ways to make money. She even decided not to take the college entrance again; in the end, Ah Hui enrolled her in a night school. She studied fashion design and now runs her own clothing shop. She earns more in a couple of months than our restaurant did. Eventually, after the restaurant near the hospital closed down, the two insisted that I go to school. I’d learned a few words with Xiao Wan, and the school was willing to accept ... Let tell you, I now have a diploma, and I’ve earned an accounting certificate—a certificate everyone envies. I’m no longer illiterate."
Of course, Liang Hongi only selected the good parts to tell Lin Guozhi, but having schmoozed in the higher circle for years, how could Lin Guozhi not understand the pitfalls? His Nannan had been through what he couldn’t even imagine; he wished he could skin Li Fugui right then and there.
"Good, good, my Nannan is the best!" Lin Guozhi stepped forward and embraced Liang Hongi tightly. Besides feeling the pain, he was also proud of them. The kids have triumphed, the wife is resilient, and the whole family has fought their way through the unfamiliar city to create such a career, eting so many sincere friends. So remarkable.
Wrapping his arms around a longing embrace of over a decade, Liang Hongi leaned on Lin Guozhi’s shoulder, tears streaming silently. The two held each other tightly, unwilling to part for a long ti.
With his wife in his arms, at a blooming age of forty, what hardship could he still lant...
"Guozhi, all these years..." Liang Hongi hadn’t felt this relieved in a while, suddenly collapsing slightly. Holding onto Lin Guozhi’s neck, she asked the question she’d always wanted to ask.
Lin Guozhi chuckled, holding her in a joking manner. "So sour." He said as he habitually gave Liang Hongi a princess carry, causing her to blush.
Thinking secretly, if the children saw this, what would happen?
"In those early years over there, I was constantly wary and had no energy for other things. Late at night when it was quiet, I’d think about you... and resolve it on my own. Later, I started gaining prominence, and many people tried to curry favor. There were quite a few offering won, whom I managed to deflect one by one. Later, our superior insisted on introducing to soone—my appearance isn’t bad, you know. His cousin fell for . Seeing that I really couldn’t dodge, I devised an injury scenario, purposely getting the doctor to diagnose that I had dysfunction. Only then did the matter pass, and those folks over there still think I’m impotent. Alas, for you, I even gave up my dignity as a man... Nannan, I feared if I really did anything, I wouldn’t be able to face you. Although their outfits and styles might be better over there, at a glance, I could tell that none had a better figure than you. I’ve seen many beautiful won but none as stunning as you, so I started ’nurturing vigor,’ waiting for the day I could return to you. Alas... it’s a pity, in those years I did it myself, didn’t maintain good health, and when I ca back, I was injured. Otherwise, Nannan, from now on, we won’t ever be apart."
Liang Hongi always knew Lin Guozhi could speak lovely words, and when together, they were both quite tactful about it. His words made her face burn hotly, but she was still happy, "If you keep calling Nannan in front of the kids, my old face won’t be able to bear it!"
