Chapter 838: Dealing With Rumors (2)
Holding her son’s icy hands, mother and son entered the house.
Huang saw the smile on Ma Xincai’s face that wouldn’t fade and tentatively asked, "Husband, I want to buy a piece of land from the village chief and build a new house."
Ma Xincai remained silent.
Huang continued, "Although we’ve separated from the family, you’ve seen their attitude towards the Lin Family. We still hope our child will become successful and take care of us in our old age. The old masters have been generous to us, and we mustn’t be ungrateful. Now that the old masters’ daughter is a princess, if the Prince finds out they’ve been cursing her, won’t the family end up in trouble? Also, I always feel that our second son isn’t doing anything proper in the city."
Having lived with the Lin Family for a long time, Huang’s experiences had broadened. She also took advantage of her free time to attend adult classes in the village, naturally providing her with a very different perspective than before.
Ma Xincai still didn’t speak.
"Of course, we’ll send the proper gifts during holidays and festivals. But living here, my heart is always uneasy," Huang said, eventually breaking into tears.
Ma Xincai watched her, sighed deeply, and finally said, "If you want to buy it, go ahead."
She had agreed! Huang finally broke into a smile through her tears.
The two children, seeing her happy, also cheered up and vied to lovingly massage the legs and backs of their parents.
Ma Xincai actually wasn’t a fool; he knew exactly what sort of person the Yan Family was but, as a parent and child who had just separated, cutting off the relationship was already drastic enough. If he hurriedly moved house now, wouldn’t people point at his spine and curse behind his back?
