Chapter 316 Swear to Heaven
Originally, when she heard the commotion outside, how Brother Yongfu and a few children were desperately pleading to take her back, even suggesting to separate the family and live independently, she couldn’t help but feel ashamed and moved.
When Lady Lin heard the wavering words of her father-in-law, joy emerged in her heart for a moment, thinking there was a chance for things to turn around.
But the words of Old Granny Zhang made Lady Lin feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She knew Wang Yongfu, and that as long as he had even a shred of conscience and filial piety, he wouldn’t dare to bring up taking her back again.
But she had changed! She really had changed!
Looking around at the familiar room, Lady Lin gritted her teeth, pushed the door open, and staggered a few steps to kneel in front of Old Granny Zhang: "Mother, I know I was bad before! I was unfilial, petty, loved to gossip behind your back, stirring up bad blood between Brother Yongfu and you, and I even secretly stashed away private money to help my natal family. Later on, when Brother Yongfu was injured, afraid of suffering and being a widow for life, I was swayed by a few words from my brother and sister-in-law, abandoned my principles, my husband, and my child, and like someone who had lost their mind, wanted to remarry to live a better life!"
"After experiencing all this, I truly regret it now! I know that the people who have treated me the best in this world are Brother Yongfu and Jindou; I was blind and muddled, which led me to abandon them. During those days at the Lin Family, there wasn’t a day when I didn’t regret it, for the best to me was actually my husband’s family, even if you scolded us every day, Mother, you still kept us fed and clothed, and allowed me to keep some private money."
"When I couldn’t endure it any longer at the Lin Family, I went to ask my birth mother for help, but she ignored me and scolded me instead, saying that after a few good days in the Wang Family, I became too light-headed to remember who I was! Those words woke me up; it was because my husband’s family was too good to me, which spoiled me to the point of being unreasonable and doing such shameless things."
"Now, I regret it! I truly regret it! I promise to change from now on! I know that whatever I say now, none of you will believe me, so you’ll have to watch my behavior in the future. If I do anything wrong, Mother, you can scold me, beat me, even drive me out, and I will not complain!"
