Chapter 314: Murder
In these past few days, he had thought a lot and had indeed seen the changes in Lady Lin, but he just couldn’t get past the hurdle in his heart.
Lady Lin had diminished his trust in women to the lowest point and completely quashed any thoughts he might have had of finding another woman.
For the sake of the children, he couldn’t stand idly by and watch Lady Lin starve to death or, in desperation, return to the Lin Family and be driven to her death.
After much thought, this was the only solution, consider it giving Lady Lin a way out!
Lady Lin pondered for a long while before she was able to make sense of the implicit meaning in Wang Yongfu’s words.
The head of the household meant to say, although he didn’t accept her, he was somewhat loosening up, agreeing to set up a shelter outside for her so she’d have a place to stay, and he would save some food for her and the children to nourish her body.
He had even planned out her future, hoping that once she regained her strength, she would either find a decent man to remarry or, after Jindou married and separated from the family, take her in to care for her in her old age, ensuring she had someone to depend on for the rest of her life.
Logically, she should have been happy with this guarantee from the Wang Family. As the eldest grandson, with Wang Yongzhu’s business thriving, the Wang Family was bound to live in comfort; surely Jindou’s share at the separation wouldn’t be meager.
If Jindou were to take care of her in her old age, she’d just need to move out with Jindou, and then she’d be the mother-in-law. Without a mother-in-law or a man to dominate her, Jindou’s household would likely kowtow to her being the most authoritative, similar to Old Granny Zhang with her children. A household that listens to her commands – that would be the life!
But, she didn’t feel the slightest bit happy, only a chilling sensation cloaking her body. She had never before realized so clearly that Wang Yongfu truly, truly didn’t want her anymore.
Wang Yongfu took a few steps away, wobbled, and quickly used the torch to prop himself up. His body steadied, but the torch went out.
