Chapter 275 leave
He now lies alone on the kang every day, utterly solitary, and only now does he truly realize he has lost his wife and child.
At that time, he found it very annoying when the child cried at night, but now it’s not annoying at all. It’s so quiet that even the sound of turning over is particularly distinct. Such days terrify him, make him regretful.
But what could he do? Since he was young, his family had always been ruled by his father. His mother lived just like Xiao Ping.
So he didn’t mind. After the child was born, his wife was in poor health, but his mother said she too went to work on the fields right after giving birth to him. She never spoiled her like that.
So he accepted it. It was the time for spring planting. Without planting, how would there be a harvest? So even when he saw his wife becoming alarmingly thin, he only thought of waiting until after the spring planting was over to let her recuperate properly.
He would think about how his wife would always get up to comfort the child whenever it cried in the middle of the night, even when she didn’t have enough milk, she would give the child some water.
He wasn’t unaware that she didn’t eat well, but for so many years his mother lived like that, and he didn’t give it much thought.
Now, there’s nothing left. The wife and child are both gone, and it seems like the child will have nothing to do with him in the future.
Why did life come to this point?
In his heart, he blamed the Zhao Family a bit, wondering why they were so relentless. He knew he was wrong on his side. Couldn’t he just be good to Xiao Ping from then on? Why did they have to persuade a separation?
The saying goes, "It is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin one marriage," doesn’t it? They are Xiao Ping’s relatives, yet they are harming her. Does she know how hard it is for a woman to live with a child?
During the daytime, even though Xiang Zhiqiang was in a bad mood, he soon fell asleep because he was exhausted.
