Chapter 452 - Chapter 452 Chapter 452 Self-Blame and Guilt_1
Chapter 452: Chapter 452 Self-Blame and Guilt_1 Chapter 452: Chapter 452 Self-Blame and Guilt_1 Zhang Fengmei couldn’t help but burst into tears, “It hurts, it so hurts. She was nearly dead last time, she’d just left the county hospital less than two months ago. Now, she’s in the hospital again, in the provincial city.”
“I’m such a useless mother, so utterly useless!” Zhang Fengmei was filled with both grief and self-blame.
Nan Fei had already corrected her previous mistakes, becoming sensible and understanding. When she fell ill and lost her sight, it was Nan Fei who took her to the provincial city, and the money at home was earned by Nan Fei by working in the provincial city.
Even the tofu product business was an idea conceived by Nan Fei.
Not to mention that when her brother and sister fell into the river, Nan Fei jumped in without a second thought, almost losing her own life in the process.
Although Nan Fei never voiced it out, always keeping a smile on her face, she and her husband knew what was going on. That’s why they worked so hard to keep the family afloat, to try and give all three children a better life.
As parents and adults, bearing the responsibility of the family was supposed to be their job. They shouldn’t have had Nan Fei shoulder all the burden.
But what about now?
Despite all their efforts, Nan Fei still encountered trouble.
“Nan Fei is still so young! We drove her too hard. We had no money at home for repaying debts, Zhuanzhuan had no money for school – we all forced her into marriage.”
Zhang Fengmei fiercely accused Jiang De Chun and Guan Rufang, then pointed painfully at herself with raw emotion spilling out like a flood. “It’s all of us, us useless adults that forced Nan Fei into this. From the start, Nan Fei was unwilling to get married, but our fear of poverty compelled us to force her into marriage.”
The color drained from Guan Rufang’s face. She wanted to say something, but in the end she didn’t speak. At the beginning, she wanted Nan Fei to marry because she thought highly of Huo Beijiang’s character, thinking it was normal for a girl to marry at eighteen.
But it was undeniable that at the beginning, Nan Fei really didn’t want to get married. They did a lot of persuasion, and Nan Fei herself finally came around and even fell for Huo Beijiang.
But…
Forget it! She was old and couldn’t manage the affairs of young people anymore.
“Fengmei, don’t blame yourself any longer. From now on, I’ll work hard to earn money, so that our family will never put a burden on Nan Fei again.” Jiang De Chun swore silently, even if it meant selling his own blood, he won’t let his children suffer anymore.
In the past, he was humble and tolerated as much as he could, but taking a step back did not lead to brighter days. It only led to endless bullying. He was determined to change this in the future.
He needed to protect this family.
Zhuanzhuan gently pulled at Zhang Fengmei’s arm and said timidly, “Mum, don’t cry anymore. My sister is really happy, truly! We share a room and she has never blamed you.”
Zhang Fengmei was taken aback, “Really?”
“Really!” Zhuanzhuan nodded assuredly.
