Capítulo 1115: Chapter 1115: Failed to Keep the 60
An Ning placed a stool in the courtyard and let Mrs. Yan sit with Xiaoniu, then went to clean up the house.
Since it was only temporary accommodation, An Ning just tidied up the main room a bit.
However, when An Ning came out of the room, she saw Mrs. Yan sitting in the courtyard crying.
“Mother…” If it were physical discomfort, An Ning could find a doctor, but for emotional distress, she didn’t know what to do.
She could only go over, squat beside Mrs. Yan, hold her hand, and offer a bit of comfort.
“Ningning, mother is sorry to you and your father…” Mrs. Yan said tearfully.
“It’s not your fault. My father left so long ago, he might not even be alive. Mother, you raised me to this age, you haven’t wronged anyone. If anyone’s to blame, it’s others who wronged you.”
An Ning didn’t know what happened to An Bingfeng, but she had heard that back then he left with her twin brother and never returned. He wasn’t chased by anyone or met with any incident.
When An Ning learned all this after coming through, she even thought that perhaps An Bingfeng purposely left and didn’t want to come back, abandoning Mrs. Yan and the original owner. Poor Mrs. Yan kept holding on to that so-called marital bond, senselessly waiting for over a decade.
“It’s not about that.” Mrs. Yan wiped her tears and said, “Back then, when your father left, he left you a lot of silver and land. It was me who was too foolish and couldn’t keep it safe for you…”
If she could have kept the things your father left, it would have been enough for Ningning to live a life free of worry, instead of living like this!
This has been the hardest burden on Mrs. Yan’s mind.
An Ning knew that before leaving, An Bingfeng indeed left many things, but Mrs. Yan was too naive back then, so she was tricked into losing much of it to her own gambling-addicted father. When she later realized the deceit and refused to give more, it was already too late.
In various ways, those things were all lost one after another by old Mr. Yan. Later, he directly used force with Ming Qiang; it was a world where filial piety outweighed everything, otherwise Mrs. Yan wouldn’t have been forced into such a predicament.
This house was only saved because it was the only thing An Bingfeng left behind. Mrs. Yan fought hard, refusing to remarry to sell the house, or else, they truly would have had nowhere to go.
With no food left, Mrs. Yan asked An Ning to borrow some from Yan Qiushou’s house.
Mrs. Yan herself had just miscarried, and in Cuishi Town’s customs, women in confinement cannot visit others’ homes, as it’s believed to bring bad luck.
So, she definitely couldn’t go to Yan Qiushou’s house.
Before An Ning could leave, Yan Qiushou already heard they had returned and came over.
Thus, An Ning spared the trip, as Yan Qiushou went back home and brought them some provisions.
After hearing about what happened in the Gao Family, Yan Qiushou was also very angry and wanted to go there to demand justice.
However, Mrs. Yan stopped her.
The Gao Family might still be in a mess now, visiting them might not turn out well.
Moreover, this time the Gao Family offended more than just one daughter-in-law; the Tian Family and Zhou Family were each more resourceful than her, and even the Lian Family wasn’t easy to bully. Though this matter was originally caused by the second wife’s quarrel, presumably the Lian Family would know that taking a loss this time could only be swallowed silently.
But, the Tian Family and Zhou Family wouldn’t let it go easily.
She, a remarried wife with initially lower status, could only wait and see.
