Bai Jiefang was at a loss for words upon hearing the truth. He and his wife had hurled all sorts of insults at Feng Chun, after all, they believed Feng Chun had betrayed his big brother by even having a child with soone else. In their hearts, she was a promiscuous, unfaithful woman.
They just found out today that their big brother had actually returned, but instead of coming back to the village to inquire about his daughter’s whereabouts, he just sold the house and left. Is he still even human? Didn’t he consider what would happen to his wife and child?
The hatred he originally felt for Feng Chun now turned into guilt. So, Feng Chun was forced to such an extent.
If he were a woman, driven to such a situation,
should she still have to stay with that man for a lifeti?
Waiting for a man who doesn’t care about her.
"Actually, I was the one who suggested to Feng Chun that we live together. I could see that Feng Chun was a good woman. Industrious and capable, with a kind heart. But Feng Chun refused. She said she wasn’t divorced, and she had a daughter to raise.
She needed to earn money to bring her daughter back."
Bai Yiyi felt warmth in her heart. Regardless of what choice her mother eventually made, the fact that she didn’t give up on her daughter from the start was a comfort.
If she hadn’t co here this ti, she would never have known the truth.
She would have thought Feng Chun was a cold-hearted woman.
"Feng Chun and I ended up together because a local thug took a liking to Feng Chun. She was alone here, renting a room, making her an easy target. They would often co to the restaurant to cause trouble.
Because of this, I once got into a fight, and the other side was beaten so badly that they had a head injury. I was detained for 15 days because of that. It was because of this incident that Feng Chun agreed to be with .
I knew Feng Chun had no choice at first; she needed soone to protect her. We originally agreed to live separate lives under the guise of being a married couple."
"But people’s hearts are not made of stone. I treated Feng Chun well, and she treated well. Over ti, our affections beca genuine, and we eventually had our daughter, Nana."
At this mont, Bai Jiefang, Jiang Lei, and Bai Yiyi suddenly understood Feng Chun.
This woman had a difficult life. If she didn’t find protection, who knows what her fate would have been.
In these tis, for a woman who had been in prison without a husband by her side, rumors were the least of her concerns. The malicious gazes and harassnt were enough to make life unbearable for her.
If not for Li Guangming, Feng Chun might not have endured until now. To be fair, Li Guangming is a good man.
"If Feng Chun always intended to bring her daughter back, then why did she never ntion wanting to bring Bai Yiyi back after getting a divorce?"
Jiang Lei asked the question Bai Yiyi wanted to know the answer to.
According to their understanding, Feng Chun was a good person, and Li Guangming was also a good person.
They should not have refused Feng Chun’s request to bring her daughter back to care for her.
However, the way things unfolded took everyone by surprise.
"The question you’re asking is actually one I want to know, too. Feng Chun has always insisted on wanting to bring Yiyi back to care for her. I agreed as well; we were actually in agreent. After all, I already have a son and a daughter, so one more child is just one more mouth to feed.
You can see, I’m a butcher. I’m doing well enough with the at business, and there’s no problem supporting a family. But three months ago, for so unknown reason, Feng Chun suddenly changed her mind and absolutely refused to bring Yiyi back.
Moreover, she completely stopped ntioning anything about marrying . I don’t know what’s going on with her recently. She’s cold to every day, and I have no idea what I did wrong."
Li Guangming was dejected.
Bai Jiefang was taken aback, "That’s impossible. Three days ago, Feng Chun received a divorce certificate. She’s already divorced Yiyi’s dad. Why wouldn’t she want to marry you?"
Li Guangming nearly jumped in shock at this.
"What did you say? She’s already divorced Yiyi’s dad, and she never ntioned this to ! A few days ago, she took the kid out, saying she was visiting a relative. I was pondering because she’d always told that her hotown is hundreds of miles away and she never contacted her family.
Why suddenly go visit a relative? Why? She’s clearly already divorced, yet never said anything about it. I intended to live with her sincerely."
Li Guangming’s face showed a hurt expression because he genuinely treated Feng Chun with all his heart, never expecting that she didn’t intend to marry him.
Bai Jiefang and Jiang Lei exchanged puzzled glances. They didn’t know if what they said was good or bad for the couple.
They hoped the information they provided wouldn’t make things unimaginable for the couple later, as a woman not wanting to marry a man must have her own reasons.
For a man, this wouldn’t just hurt his pride; it would also severely impact his motivation.
Bai Yiyi spoke up, "I know why my mom doesn’t want to marry you."
The three n all turned to Bai Yiyi.
"You do?"
"Didn’t my mom go to the hospital so ti ago?"
Li Guangming nodded blankly.
"Three months ago, your mom had so stomach pains, and every ti it hurt, she would break out in a cold sweat. I was really busy, so in the end, I forced her to go to the hospital for an examination. She ca back and told the doctor said it was just gastritis, nothing serious, and that it would get better with rest."
"My mom probably has a very serious illness, one concerning life and death. That’s why she never ntioned bringing back or talked about marrying you. She divorced my dad probably because she didn’t want to die soday still holding onto the title of soone’s wife.
She wants to die out of her own na, with dignity."
Bai Yiyi’s words left everyone shocked.
"Yiyi, how do you know this?"
Jiang Lei looked at Bai Yiyi in shock.
There was a clattering sound in the courtyard; soone had kicked a washbasin.
Li Guangming rushed out to see Feng Chun standing in the courtyard with her child.
She had accidentally kicked over a washbasin, spilling water on the ground, along with pig liver pieces soaking in the mud.
Feng Chun had a panicked expression.
She avoided their gaze, and the child in her arms reached out joyfully upon seeing her father, Li Guangming.
"Daddy, hold !"
The house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
